Lishan, Huaqing Palace, Nine Dragon Palace.

Empress Wu was sluggish, supporting her forehead with one hand, her eyes slightly closed, and she was indescribably tired.

The hall was empty, and in front of her, there was only one person standing.

Xu Hui with a sad face.

Stained with plum blossom guards, I want to be a detached and unstained elf out of the mud, after all, it's just a delusion.

Empress Wu ordered her to strictly investigate the cause of death of Li Chengyi, the king of Hengyang, and closely monitor the movements of relevant people.

I also have to report every move of Quan Ce to her, three times a day.

She could only do so, and the mud and complexity gradually began to show its signs.

The investigation of the cause of Li Chengyi's death is confusing, and all the forces involved have ambiguous suspicions, how to choose, how to judge, and how to use words may have an impact on the decision of the Empress Wu.

For others, this influence is sought-after, but for Xu Hui, it is a heavy pressure and burden.

“…… There was an official in Luoyang Mansion who found clues, and the fugitive slaves in Xiangwang's Mansion may be related to the case of King Hengyang, Di Xiang intervened and forcibly handed over the clues to the Qiuguan Yamen Supervision and Arrest Division, but it was not ......"

“…… The slave maid thought that the stall head was quite disciplined in investigating the case, and paid attention to it, and accidentally found that he went to the Liang Wang's mansion the night before yesterday, and then began to be distracted, no longer focusing on the investigation of the case, but paid special attention to the food and clothing of the king of Zhongshan, which was quite suspicious......"

“…… Wu Yanji, the king of Wei, entered the palace to meet His Royal Highness Taisun, and seemed to have been instructed to set off for the Dengfeng Fireworks Army camp and hand over one of the cavalry battalions of the Anxi Army to the deputy general Zhao Sheguan ......"

"After meeting with the King of Wei, Taisun summoned a number of people, all of whom recently wrote a letter to the Shendu side, pressuring the Luoyang Mansion and the Qiuguan Yamen, demanding that the investigation should not involve too much breadth, so as not to affect the stability ......of the court and government."

Behind the martial arts, like clear water, the coolness was deep, revealing a scattered smile, "Behind Di Renjie, it should be Quan Ce, he is obedient and considerate, and promised not to attack Li Dan, then it really won't, but if there is a chance to send it to the door, stir up troubled waters, and cause some trouble, he will not be soft, I don't blame him......"

Empress Wu's smile was retracted, and she slapped it on the table with a bang, and hissed, "Wu Sansi, Wu Yanji, Li Chongjun...... Hehe, well, it's not surprising, it's still my descendants who kill my descendants, retribution......"

His voice was not high, but it was deep and sad, Xu Hui couldn't bear to hear it, and turned her face away.

Empress Wu's grief didn't last long, and she quickly cheered up, waved her robe sleeves, the golden light flashed, and asked angrily, "Di Renjie set up obstacles to the investigation of the case, Wu Sansi even stretched out his black hand to King Zhongshan, is Li Dan dead, and there is no reaction?" ”

"An Guoxiang Wang ......" Xu Hui wanted to speak and stopped, as the person next to the Empress Wu, she also knew the mind of the Empress Wu, Li Dan was the heir she had no choice, otherwise, his emotions would not have fluctuated so violently.

"How?" Empress Wu turned her head slightly, and the afterglow swept over Xu Hui's face.

Xu Hui hurriedly continued, as if he had been pricked by a needle, "His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of Anguo did not move in Shendu Yuan, and on the side of Gushui Beiye, there was a steward who went out of the city with great fanfare, claiming that he wanted to hunt down the fugitive slaves on his own, but he went all the way north and went out of the customs to the Saiwai ......."

"The internal guards had limited manpower and could not follow the whole process, so the slave had no choice but to take extraordinary measures to search the person, and found that he was carrying a secret letter, which was a ...... for Zhao Xiang, the commander of the Northern Army."

Xu Hui's voice came to an abrupt end.

Empress Wu was quite displeased and asked, "What is written?" ”

"Order Zhao Xiang to be divided into pieces, and send a team of 1,000 people to Shendu Yuan to listen to it"

Xu Hui said it very difficult, she knew that even if Empress Wu blamed Li Dan, she would not do anything to him, but her situation was not good.

"Okay, what a good voice, biological children, not a little ghost scheming, hum, it's the same line, let him go, and see what he can toss into"

The corners of Empress Wu's mouth were slanted, a little self-deprecating, she had done the same thing, even more than Li Dan, two of her four sons died in her own hands.

Xu Hui lowered her head and inadvertently cocked the bridge of her nose, Li Dan became an only son, and the treatment was really very different, even for such a major matter as the private transfer of soldiers and horses, he would not be held responsible.

"You arrange to go down, send more people, secretly protect the King of Zhongshan, and make the Shendu Garden into an iron wall for me......"

"Also, try to warn Lee Chongjun and let him settle down a bit"

Empress Wu casually commanded.

Xu Hui's agile eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and she squatted down, "Yes, Your Majesty"

"By the way, the Fireworks Army and the Yushan Army have been expanded, and there are frequent incidents, and the court officials on the side of the Xia Guanyamen have any changes?" Empress Wu's arrogance of Wang Zhiben is still fresh in her memory, and as a squire, she forced Shangshu Zheng Su, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Shangguan Wan'er's plan to lay soldiers, and she was worried that there would be more branches, so she had to pay more attention.

"Your Majesty, after Wang Zhiben's servant was punished for repairing the door, he behaved in a proper manner, just going out late and returning early, often calling himself sick and taking leave, and the house was also closed to thank guests, no longer as conscientious and active as before" Xu Hui couldn't help but smile a little, Wang Zhiben's performance reminded people of the naughty boy who was scolded and passively resisted.

Empress Wu snorted lightly, did not comment, straightened her clothes, and said as if unintentionally, "What is Quan Ce doing in Qingyao Mountain?" ”

Hearing this question, although he had been prepared, Xu Hui's face still flew with pieces of red glow, and he said vaguely, "Prime Minister Quan is being a gentle gentleman and taking care of His Royal Highness Taiping, taking care of everything."

Empress Wu stood up, pursed her lips and laughed, "Heh, let's hear it, but I want to see and understand, and he can't cook every day?" ”

Xu Hui looked embarrassed, a little regretful, did not bring the case of his internal guards, Quan Ce and Princess Taiping had some public affection, speaking of it, it was really embarrassing, biting her lower lip, with some resentment, "Your Majesty, Quan Xiangye is wandering in Qingyao Mountain, and often moves the joy of the boudoir to the flowers and green fields......"

Empress Wu seemed to have been shot between the thighs by a feather arrow, her hands were folded in front of her lower abdomen, her legs were weak, and she stumbled for a moment, and asked in a complicated manner, "Prostitution during the day?" The two of them are so shameless? ”

Xu Hui was still in the boudoir, where could she hear this, her face flushed deeper, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "It's not like that, it's not far away, the princess seems to be uncertain, and she doesn't like medicine, so the minister will ...... He took it in his own mouth and crossed it into the mouth of the princess, and there were too many such romantic things to mention."

"Hmph, what a leader, Quan Ce, a powerful minister, should be too comfortable" Empress Wu was lightly angry, as if she was a little dissatisfied, and a little envious.

"No, I'm going to find something for him to do, lest he be so happy that he forgets who he is."

"It has been a long time since Zhengdan Chaohe, and the king of the Wa Kingdom, Luno Zanliang, has been lingering, there must be something unspeakable, as a loyal domain, if the Celestial Dynasty ignores it, it will inevitably be cold, inform Wan'er, and make Quan Ce return to Lishan as soon as possible to take care of this matter."

"Yes, the slave maid will ask Shangguan Zhaorong to arrange it"

Xu Hui answered, thinking of her errand, her cheeks were wrinkled, her eyes lit up, and she sniffed.

Xiangye Quan is so idle, and he has a sacred heart, so it should be no problem to ask him to help.
