Rong Ye secretly sent people to check all the senior generals in the left and right battalions stationed in Beijing.

President Ling Yue Qifeng's interpersonal relationship is relatively simple, and the people he comes into contact with are all people in the military.

There is no problem with the left forward to lead Shi Yu, and the right forward to lead Xiao Xiong is just a drunkard.

The only suspicious person was Hu Gang, the forward leader beside Yue Qifeng.

He had kept an outer room outside during this time, and the woman's whereabouts were quite suspicious.

After listening to the recital, Rong Ye was very annoyed in his heart, and said, "What do you mean that your behavior is quite suspicious?" ”

"This woman often used carrier pigeons to contact people who didn't know where, and the ministers intercepted a carrier pigeon and brought the letter back." As he spoke, the man presented the intercepted letter.

Rong Ye took the creed and looked at it, it was blank and there was nothing.

He put it under his nose and sniffed it.

The eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't take any risks, in case this paper is poisonous, it will be troublesome." ”

Rong Ye waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

After he said this, he chuckled and said, "Bring the candlestick." ”

The palace maid who held the lamp hurriedly brought the candlestick to the imperial case in front of Rong Ye.

Rong Ye picked up the creed in his hand and leaned against the candle flame to roast it, and after a while, the handwriting on it appeared.

When the eunuch standing on the side saw it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty is really a saint, and this can be seen through by Your Majesty." ”

Rong Ye smiled and didn't speak, but set his eyes on the creed.

It is just a short record of a few words: "It will be done, but it can be delayed!" ”

Will it happen?

What is it?

Can it be slowed?

What can be delayed?

Rong Ye was full of questions, where was this letter going to be delivered, and who accepted this letter?

But based on this piece of paper, it is difficult to determine whether the woman raised by Hu Gang is Yan Jun's person.

Rong Ye's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"Anything else?"

The person who came lowered his head and thought for a while, "Returning to His Majesty." There is another thing, and my subordinates don't know if it's related to this matter. ”

"Say!" Rong Ye said coldly.

"General Yue's management of the army is strictly prohibited, and few of his subordinates will make mistakes because of alcohol, but the day before yesterday, one of his staff leaders drank too much in Liuru Lane. actually missed the drill and was fined 20 military sticks by General Yue. "Someone replied.

"Liu Ruxiang? What kind of place is this, I have lived in the capital for so many years, why haven't I heard of this place. Rong Ye asked with some confusion.

After hearing this, the visitor said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are not very clear. I only know that Liu Ruxiang has just settled in the capital this spring, in Liuren Hutong, in the past, the row of houses in Liuren Hutong is not called Liu Ruxiang, I don't know where a woman named Liu Ru came from and brought some sisters to open a secret door there. Gradually, that row of houses was called Liuru Lane. ”

After hearing this, Rong Ye said thoughtfully: "Okay, I know." Let's go down and find out who this woman Liu Ru is? ”

"Yes!"

How can a woman have such a great ability, but in just a few months, the entire alley has changed its name?

While he was pondering, the queen walked in with a panicked face. hurriedly saluted and came to Rong Ye's side: "Your Majesty!" ”

"What's so alarming?" Rong Ye was upset at this time, and saw the Wu family coming. I was even more troubled.

Seeing that Rong Ye's face was not good, Wu Shi hurriedly stopped, and replied in a low voice: "It's all the concubines, a few days ago, the concubines ordered someone to lock up Zhao Wanyi, I wanted to wait for the emperor to finish his work and then ask for a decree to deal with it, but I didn't expect her temperament to be so big." Just now, the palace maid found that she had hanged herself in the room. ”

After Rong Ye heard this, he stood up and said with a gloomy face: "Take me to have a look." ”

After Wu heard this. couldn't help but be stunned, although she knew. After Rong Ye heard this, she would definitely be furious, but she didn't expect Rong Ye to offer to see Zhao Wanyi's corpse.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't go with you." Seeing the queen's blank face, Rong Ye couldn't help but say impatiently.

Wu only reacted at this time, "Uh, yes, yes, the concubine will stay and go forward." ”

Walking on Rong Ye's side, Wu's mind was full of thoughts, at first he was a little apprehensive, but he soon calmed down, the minions in the harem are all clever, if it were not for her orders, she believed that no one would speak in front of the emperor.

Fortunately, she didn't dispose of Zhao Wanyi's body immediately, otherwise, she would not be able to explain this matter to the emperor.

However, Wu had already noticed that when she told the emperor that Zhao Wanyi had hanged herself, although the emperor was angry, he didn't seem to be very sad, which shows that the man's heart is hard after all.

Wu thought that they had already arrived at the door of the room where Zhao Wanyi was stored.

There were two little palace maids beside the Wu family guarding the door, and when they saw the emperor coming in person, they hurriedly made a big salute.

When he entered the door, Wu glared fiercely at the two little palace maids at the door.

The two little palace maids couldn't help but tremble, and quickly lowered their heads.

Immediately, Wu raised his head and followed the emperor and walked in.

The emperor saw two old grandmothers sorting out the remains of the dead Zhao Wanyi.

The two grandmothers heard someone behind them report: "The emperor has arrived-"

They hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Slaves and maids greet the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Rong Ye lifted it casually, ignored them, and walked directly to the bed.

When she saw Zhao Wanyi, Rong Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

He originally thought that this person would be somewhat similar to someone, and Zhao Wanyi in front of him died of suffocation, so the tide & red on his face still did not recede, and his lips were a little purple, but he could still see that Zhao Wanyi should have been a rare beauty before her death.

Suddenly, Rong Ye seemed to remember that he had seen this Zhao Wanyi there.

When he bowed his head and was silent, the Wu family behind him clasped his hands tightly, and his heart was up and down, not knowing how angry the emperor would be.

But at this point, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in Rong Ye's mind, before the death of the first emperor, he stayed by the former emperor's bedside every day, and it was at that time that he had seen Zhao Wanyi.

Just when he was out of his mind, there was a sudden commotion from outside, and a palace maid struggled to squeeze inside.

"I want to see the emperor, you let me go in to see the emperor."

When Wu heard this, he immediately went out and scolded: "The things that come from there that don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are so ignorant of the rules, drag it down!" ”

In fact, the people who were accompanying the Wu family outside had already captured the palace maid, and after listening to the Wu family's words, they hurriedly dragged them away.

"You let me go, I want to see the emperor, are you afraid that I will tell the cause of Zhao Wanyi's death?" When the palace maid said this, she shouted loudly inside: "Your Majesty, Zhao Wanyi did not hang herself at all, but was strangled to death, Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for Zhao Wanyi!" ”

After hearing this, Rong Ye hurriedly walked out of the door and said, "Let go of her!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't listen to this cheap maid, she is talking nonsense, Zhao Wanyi is the emperor's person, if she didn't hang herself, who would dare to treat her without the emperor's order?" Empress Wu hurriedly stepped forward.

Rong Ye ignored her, walked a few steps forward slowly, and came to the palace maid, and asked, "If you have anything to say, tell me!" ”

The palace maid knelt down in front of Rong Ye and cried: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is the palace maid Siyu next to Wanyi Niangniang, and has been taking care of Wanyi Niangniang's daily life, the slave maid knows that Wanyi Niangniang has always been in the world, only taking care of the little princess wholeheartedly, and has never done anything to cross the distance, I don't know why she was suddenly locked up by the queen mother, Wanyi Niangniang is concerned about the little princess day and night, how can she hang herself." ”

After Rong Ye heard this, he glanced sideways at Empress Wu and said, "What do you say?" ”

Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine's people did see that King Jin had appeared near Shunzhen Palace many times, and they also saw King Jin and Zhao Wanyi walking together. ”

"Where did the queen start with this, since Wanyi Niangniang lived in Shunzhen Palace, in order to avoid suspicion, she only went out of Shunzhen Palace once, or for the little princess's matter, how could she have an affair with King Jin." After Siyu finished saying this, she said to Rong Ye with tears on her face: "Your Majesty, you should be a poor little princess, you must help Wanyi Niangniang clear her grievances, otherwise how will the little princess be able to hold up her head and be a man when she grows up." ”

Rong Ye already knew that there must be something unknown in this.

Is the palace maid in front of her lying in order to exonerate Zhao Wanyi, or is the queen lying?

However, there is one thing, this palace maid should not be wrong, Zhao Wanyi definitely did not hang herself to death.

Why did the queen kill Zhao Wanyi?

One question after another appeared in Rong Ye's heart.

He didn't want to care about it, but now he couldn't ignore it.

"This cheap maid has been serving Zhao Wanyi and naturally speaks for her, but, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother knows about Zhao Wanyi's affairs, and the concubine once asked the Queen Mother and the Emperor when she was locked up, and she is not in charge of her own affairs, and now Zhao Wanyi hanged herself, and the concubine is guilty of poor care, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins."

After hearing this, Rong Ye said, "Okay, I will sit in front of the Queen Mother, you don't have to follow." After he said this, he said to the person behind him: "Take this palace maid named Siyu down, find someone to watch carefully, don't have an accident, I still have something to ask her." ”

After Rong Ye finished speaking, he walked towards Cining Palace.

A neat shout came from behind him: "Yes! 陛xià! ”

When they arrived at Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Zheng was talking to Concubine Hua and others.

Seeing Rong Ye coming in, Concubine Hua retired.

Rong Ye saluted the Queen Mother, said some greetings, and then moved the topic to Zhao Wanyi.

What made Rong Ye feel strange, he had just mentioned Zhao Wanyi, and the Queen Mother's face darkened. (To be continued)
