In the Deyang Palace, Li Xia and Zuo Tianqi stood in front of Liu Zhao, both of them were dressed in military uniforms, looking shrewd and capable. 【鳳\/ε‡°\/Update is fast and there is no pop-up window, please search for f/h/x/s/c/o/m] Zhou Rong stood at the door of the hall with a sword, looking ahead, meticulous.

"I will hear the results of the search, but you will say that it is okay!" Liu Zhao's eyes were red, as if he was very preoccupied, and his right hand habitually tapped on the desk, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zuo and I searched in the direction that Lord Li said, and there are mainly Golden Horse Palace, Bronze Horse Palace, Jingfa Palace, Zhangde Palace, Lecheng Palace, Wende Hall and East Palace. However, except for the Golden Horse Palace, where Chen Cainu lived, the other palaces only had palace cleaners, and there were no others, and nothing was found in Wei Town. The ministers went out of the palace to search, and after leaving the Suzaku Gate, there were a total of thirty-seven households on the southwest street, and now they are searching, and nothing suspicious has been found. ”

Li Xia answered clearly and clearly, Liu Zhao understood as soon as he heard it, and sighed: "I didn't expect that this demon was not hidden in the palace, which means that the minister outside the palace did it?" ”

Zuo Tianqi said: "Your Majesty, the minister checked the records of entering and leaving the palace, and during these days, only a large number of people entered the palace on August 15, and only one person who was not in the palace entered the palace before. This person was brought in by the Lian'er girl of the Changqiu Palace, and it was the grandmother of the queen's mother, Deng Zhu, the strange thing is that when she entered the palace at night, it was raining again, and the minister was strange, if she entered the palace to visit, why did she choose this time. And she is the queen mother who entered the palace! ”

Liu Zhao listened attentively, saw him stop, and waved his hand, "Go on!" ”

Zuo Tianqi said: "Huh! The minister also found that Deng Zhu's residence was also in the southwest, so he felt even more suspicious. So the worshippers focused on investigating her house. ”

"What's the catch?" Liu Zhao asked.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing, everything is normal in her house."

Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, "Only she is the most suspicious, right?" ”

Li Xia said: "Your Majesty, she is related to the noble lady and the Queen of Yin, if she is said to harm the noble Deng for the Queen of Yin, it makes some sense. What's more, she is also a royal prince. If you check directly, it seems inappropriate. The minister's meaning is to investigate her recent arrivals and exits, who she has been in contact with, and what suspicious people are in the house. Bought something. If it is verified, it is not too late to catch it. ”

Liu Zhao nodded, "You're right, I don't want to believe it, the queen will harm Sui'er." After all, they have grown up together since childhood, and although the queen is a little jealous because of my love for Sui'er, she has always been loyal and will never do such a hurtful thing. It's better to be safe, investigate slowly first, and without empirical evidence, you must not arrest anyone. ”

Deng Zhu sat on a couch covered with snow silk, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. Of course she doesn't believe in Buddhism, but now she has to pretend. Hu Daoshi gave three thousand taels of silver and sent him away. But on the road. The man he sent killed the Taoist priest, and the person who killed the Taoist priest was killed by the killer she sent at the end. Now the ghosts can't find out why they killed people and who they killed. As for the things that the family bought, she prevaricated on the grounds that she believed in Buddhism. The only thing left to worry about was the servants in the house. For the sake of Shi Wei Town, she invited the Taoist priest to the house, and few people saw it. Because when the Taoist priest entered the palace, she made them wear cloaks. Wearing a hat, no one saw his face and no one knew what they were doing. Only his personal servant, Deng Yang, knew some of the details, because he was the one who served the meal.

Deng Yang was brought by her from her mother's family since she was a child. has been with her for forty years, and it goes without saying that she is loyal, although she is still a little uneasy, but she is relieved to think that he has never spoiled herself all these years.

Deng Yang came in from outside and whispered, "Old lady." There were only a few people wandering around, and when they saw someone going out of the house, they asked some questions, and the slave thought, is it for that? ”

Deng Zhu said: "Of course, it must be for that incident, even if you die, you will rot in your stomach, otherwise not only me, but also our whole family, even you and your whole family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death." But as long as they can't find any tricks on us, the queen will definitely reward us. You are also the old man of our Deng family, so I don't need to say anything more about the importance here! ”

Deng Yang nodded and said: "This is natural, Madam just doesn't say it, and the old slave also understands." Now we can only win, we can't afford to lose. As long as the queen's instructions are done, what you want is not a word from the queen. ”

Deng Zhu smiled: "You are smart." Go outside and see, if there's anything going on, report it to me. ”

Li Xia and Zuo Tianqi discussed for a long time, and investigated everywhere in the past few days, but the result of the inquiry was useless. It seems that even if it was Deng Zhu's doing, all the evidence was destroyed by her. The two of them went to see Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, who was playing chess with Li He. Seeing them coming, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Li He said: "If you look at their appearance, you know that they must be completely eyebrow-free!" He laughed, which made Liu Qing laugh too, "Oh, then sit down and talk about the situation." ”

The two of them briefly explained the situation. Li He listened and said: "There is no need to investigate this matter, then the Deng Zhu clan must have already dealt with it." That night, if you go to check, you may not have extinguished your mouth, but now that you go, your ass must have been wiped clean, she did it, and you can only stare dryly. I mean, ignore her, wait for her to jump out on her own in the future, and if it's really the queen's orders, there will be action. When the time comes, standing on the side, people are dirty, and they can't run. ”

Zuo Tianqi took a sip of tea, "Then this is the end of the matter?" ”

"What else do you want, since Deng Guiren is fine, and he can't catch actual evidence, he can only forget it." Li Xia said coldly.

"I think this must have something to do with the queen of yin, she is weird with her mother all day long, what kind of kindness does she have!" Zuo Tianqi said hatefully.

Liu Qing asked, "Then why didn't you ask people to check that night?" ”

Li He stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "The emperor is haggard for Deng Guiren's affairs, if he sent someone to investigate at that time, and found it until dawn, although he could catch a little tail, it was still difficult to bring down the queen of yin, and he would only startle the snake, if she stopped acting in the future, it would be meaningless to do anything." So I was also interested in letting the matter go down, so I didn't order the search that night. After the cloud, it hurts the sky. There will be retribution in the future, and at this moment she is not exhausted, so let's see the situation and then decide! ”

He stood up with his hands behind his back. Walking to the lake, he whispered: "Zi Du does not see the willows by the river: the waves stir up its roots, and the servants break its branches. The Tree of Funho Sandalwood. The pine and cypress of the Song loan, the upper leaf is in the green snow, the lower root passes through the three springs, there is the Luan bird phoenix, there is the old leopard unicorn below, the thousand autumns are long live without the cutting of the axe, this wood is not related to the people of the world, and the people who live there. Deng Guiren is virtuous, talented, and good-looking, not that others deliberately hurt her, but because her conditions are too good. So. Although some people are jealous, good wood will still grow proudly, with the help of the essence of the world. As long as we pay attention everywhere, be careful in everything, worry about everything, and guard her surroundings, everything will be fine. ”

Everyone nodded, and Liu Qing sighed, "I hope she can get through all the difficulties!" ”

The case of Nightmare Town, which caused a sensation in the capital, ended quietly. Sui'er was injured. After recuperating for a while, under the careful care of Zhao Yu and others, after a few days, his face became rosy. She had nothing to do, so she took the Buddhist scriptures sent by Yin Li to read. After reading it for a few days, I was fascinated, I loved it like a treasure, and I felt that the Zen in it was broad and profound, and I never got tired of reading it, and even Liu Zhao came. I also ignore it.

Chen Cainu is also diligent, and the daily pastries are still delivered, but Sui'er does not eat them, and only feeds the pregnant female cat. A month later, the mother cat gave birth to a litter of kittens in advance, all of them were stillborn, and the most terrible thing was that those kittens were born very strangely, either with more ears, or with fewer legs, or without eyes. Zhengyin and Xin'er watched it and vomited for a long time.

After Su Lan'er reported that Sui'er knew, Sui'er's face was pale, revealing a rusty blue of helplessness and despair, "She is so ruthless, if I eat this snack, won't she give birth to a stillborn baby, and then accuse me of giving birth to a freak, and besides, I am a demon girl, everything will be logical." She also used such a vicious strategy, did she really hate me to the extreme? ”

Su Lan'er could only look at her, her heart was so chaotic that she needed courage to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say a word of comfort, so she could only quietly shake her hands, hoping to give each other a little firmness and courage to support with the only remaining warmth in each other's palms.

Zhao Yu came in and asked, "Miss, what to do with those kittens, are they buried, or are they handed over to the emperor?" ”

Sui'er moved her already stiff body for a long time, and said to Zhao Yu: "This time, I must tell the emperor, it's not that I want to put her to death, but I can't let her harm me like this again." ”

In the evening, Liu Zhao came to the West Palace, and Sui'er sat quietly on the couch in a daze, her face so pale that there was no trace of blood.

Liu Zhao sat on the edge of the couch with concern, held her hand and said, "Sui'er, what's wrong?" Sick? ”

His concerned gaze gave Sui'er a hint of warmth, and his cold hands also had some warmth.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here, and the concubines are frightened." Sui'er threw herself into Liu Zhao's arms, her small body trembling slightly.

"I'm here, tell me what's going on?" Liu Zhao's pupils contracted instantaneously, his facial muscles stiffened, and what he was worried about was still coming again.

Sui'er said: "Your Majesty, the concubine asked you to see something." She said to Zhao Yu: "Sister Yu, pick up those things." ”

When Zhao Yu put those dead cats in front of Liu Zhao, Liu Zhao's heart sank suddenly, "Sui'er, what is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a stillborn cat, you see, these cats are born prematurely, and they are stillborn when they are born, and these cats are all teratogenic!"

"Why did Sui'er show me this?"

Zhao Yu suddenly knelt down at this time and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to call the shots for Niangniang." ”

"What's going on?" Liu Zhao already had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter.

"Your Majesty, a month ago, the day after Niangniang was cast into the town, Chen Cainu came to the West Palace and personally gave some pastries to Niangniang, and insisted on sending them every day in the future, never stopped. Niangniang's daily diet was ordered by the emperor to eat only according to the prescription prescribed by Dr. Qingying, and it happened that the cat was pregnant, so Zhengyin fed it to eat. But who knows, today this cat was born prematurely and gave birth to these strange things. The slave maid was scared half to death, the emperor, the pastries sent by Chen Cainu were poisonous, otherwise how could such a terrible thing happen! This is thanks to the cat eating it, if the mother eats it, the slave and the maid dare not think about it! Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your mother! ”

Liu Zhao's scarlet eyes glared at Zhao Yu, and his hands were clenched into fists. "What you said is true?"

"There is no need for the slave to lie to the emperor, and please ask the emperor to call the shots, the mother has just become pregnant, so Chen Cainu will make it difficult in every way, and the last time she deliberately stood in front of the noble lady, saying that the child she was pregnant with was earlier than the mother, and it should be in front of the mother. The mother didn't fight, and the other mothers and slaves couldn't stand it. Your Majesty, the slave maid is afraid when she thinks about itβ€”"

"Don't say it, you, go and call Sun Jue, pass on my will, and ask Chen Cainu to come to the West Palace to see her, I want to ask her, a femme fatale-hearted woman, what qualifications she has to be arrogant in the palace!" (To be continued.) )
