Before Qing Yu's words were finished, there was a bang, and the door of the study was slammed open from the outside, and the sound was so loud that Qing Yu swallowed back the unfinished words at once.

Everyone looked at Xie Zhicheng at the door.

I saw Xie Zhicheng knelt down and said solemnly: "The matter of accepting a righteous girl is not trivial, please grandfather and father think twice." ”

Qing Yu didn't expect that this was about to be a sure thing, how could someone still get in the way.

She was careful in the Xie family, but she didn't offend this Xie Zhicheng.

This incident made the Xie family very stiff, but after all, the matter of accepting the righteous daughter was temporarily stopped under Xie Zhicheng's obstruction, and when the news reached the palace, it was already past dinner time.

The winter sky seems to be dark early, and the Heart Cultivation Temple has long been lit up, as bright as day.

"Your Majesty, something happened."

"What?"

Gonggong Chu glanced at Mu Jiu over there, and tried his best to keep his voice low in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiazi of Muyu Pavilion was found dead in the well in the northeast corner of the Imperial Garden."

"Dead?"

Between rhetorical questions, Long Jiangye subconsciously glanced at Mu Jiu over there, saw that he looked like he was nothing, and then asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"The slave asked the subordinates of Muyu Pavilion before, and said that since last night, there has been no trace of Xiao Xiazi. Or at noon today, Master Mu saw that Xiao Xiazi was gone, and asked Xiao Xuan to look for it, and this Xiao Xuan and Xiao Dezi searched for an afternoon to find it. ”

"I know, give Xiao Xiazi's family a good comfort."

"Yes. The minions will go down and do it. ”

When Gonggong Chu retreated, he also glanced at Mu Jiu, as if he was worried about Mu Jiu.

There are too many people who have died in the palace, and those dark corners that do not shine in the sun are damp all year round.

The well where Natsuko's body was found was in a well that no one frequented, and that place would not be visited by anyone according to common sense.

Even if everyone knew that Xiao Xiazi was killed, and the emperor didn't pursue it, no one would mention it.

Mu Jiu felt the emperor's eyes, his heart was still a little empty, and he thought in his heart that if the emperor asked later, how would he answer.

Mu Jiu had been waiting for the emperor's questioning with fear, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor acted like he was nothing, and the emperor never questioned this matter until it was almost time.

It seems that Xiao Natsuko died in vain.

As soon as the time came, Mu Jiu left the Heart Cultivation Hall and returned to Muyu Pavilion.

"Mo Nan, keep an eye on him to see if he will write a letter to King Beiding."

Long Jiangye always knew that the king of Beiding had a line in the palace, composed of several members, who were responsible for the transmission of letters between the two.

It's just that Long Jiangye didn't know who the specific people were, and he wanted to take this opportunity to cut off the line between Mu Jiu and King Beiding.

"Yes, the subordinates must be watching it personally."

"You must find out the dark line that King Beiding buried in the palace, otherwise it will be useless to change more living langs."

"Yes, my subordinates must be dedicated. Your Majesty, the last time I talked about Cha Mujiu's life experience, my subordinates already had some eyebrows. ”

"Oh?"

The dragon raised his eyebrows at night, waiting for his next step.

"However, the subordinates have not confirmed it yet, and when they find evidence, the subordinates will report to you in detail."

Long Jiangye nodded: "The first thing at present is to stop the marriage between King Beiding and Na Qing Yu. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Mo Nan led the task given by Long Jiangye and retreated very quickly, leaving Long Jiangye alone in this empty heart cultivation hall.

Long Jiangye sat alone on the dragon chair in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, until Gonggong Chu came in and reminded him that the hour was not early, and Long Jiangye went to bed at night.

It was destined to be a sleepless night, with tiny snowflakes falling outside, and when the morning dawned, the entire palace was shrouded in a thin layer of snowflakes.

It was even colder, and it became more and more difficult for Mu Jiu to get up early.

She didn't make any moves last night, and Mo Nan sent someone to keep an eye on it all night, but she didn't get anything.
