Qi Hao said "um", looked at the footprints carefully, and said slowly: "Lotus pattern." ”

"Lotus pattern ......" Du Jiang thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, if my subordinates remember correctly, the only woman in the house who likes to carve patterns on the soles of her shoes is Mrs. Liu." ”

"Back then, when Mrs. Liu had not yet left the palace, the Queen Mother praised her for being a lotus step by step."

"Step by step? Scold! Qi Hao casually touched the ground, then blew the thin silver powder on his fingers, and sneered: "The lotus flower is out of the mud but not stained, and the water is clear and rippled but not demonic." ”

"Where is she, worthy of such a noble and pure flower? What a! ”

In this study, only Qi Hao, Du Jiang, and Qin Feng knew that there was a thin layer of imperceptible silver powder near the threshold.

Once someone comes in, they will step on it if they don't pay attention, leaving footprints on the silver powder.

And tonight, while Qi Hao left the palace with Gu Jinli, the person who sneaked into the study turned out to be Mrs. Liu.

This is a bit unexpected by Qi Hao.

First, Mrs. Liu has been "keeping to herself" for so many years on the surface, and she has never done anything daring, and she has been very successful in pretending to be honest.

Second, without his own orders, it is impossible for the guards guarding the door to let Mrs. Liu in.

Turning around, he pushed open the door and asked coldly, "Before this king came back, did anyone come to the study to find this king?" ”

The two guards looked at each other, "No! ”

Qi Hao looked at them deeply for a while, then threw up his sleeves and went back to the room.

"Lord Wang, just now my subordinates checked your letter without authorization." Next to the table, Du Jiang counted the letters and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates found that the letter that Lord Zhang gave you before was missing. ”

Qi Hao pursed his lips and frowned, recalling the contents of the letter.

For a moment, a cold current crossed his eyes, and he said meaningfully: "In that letter, the matter of Xiaoba and the throne was mentioned. ”

"This ......" Du Jiang also realized the seriousness of the matter, and opened his mouth: "Lord Wang, do you need to go to Mrs. Liu and get the letter back?" ”

Qi Hao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No need, that letter is not important. ”

Du Jiang nodded and answered: "Lord Wang, Mrs. Liu has been silent for many years, and she finally can't help it. ”

"yes, it's really hard for her to be careful in sheep's clothing for so long." Qi Hao sat down, tapped on the table, and analyzed: "She was sent to this king by the Queen Mother, so it is very likely that she was bought before leaving the palace." ”

If she is the queen mother's eyeliner, then there is no need to sneak into his study and just pay attention to his every move.

There was no need to take such a big risk to steal the letters between him and the minister.

Therefore, the person behind her is not the Queen Mother.

The people in the palace, a total of these, the queen, Concubine De, and Concubine Li.

Concubine Li has been dead for a long time, and Concubine De is now too sick to take care of anything else.

And Mrs. Liu has only made a big move now, so Qi Hao can only think of her as the queen's person.

Thinking of Xiao Ba, who has not stepped into King Ning's Mansion for more than two years, came to the mansion very abnormally today, and almost had something that shouldn't have happened with Gu Jinli, Qi Hao even confirmed that Gu Jinli's traditional Chinese medicine during the day was inseparable from Mrs. Liu!

As for Xiao Ba, whether he knew about this matter planned by Mrs. Liu, Qi Hao didn't dare to say.

Power, status, everyone wants.

If Xiaoba was intentionally done today under the instruction of the queen and with Mrs. Liu's medicine, then the brotherhood between them would really end here!

Of course, after soaking in the water of the Hantan Pond all night, Qi Hao was not soaked in vain.

There is another situation, that is, Mrs. Liu is the queen's person, and it was a coincidence that Xiaoba came today, which made Mrs. Liu have the idea of drugged "on a whim", so Xiaoba just happened to catch up......

Regardless, Madame Yoo is a restless and dangerous figure hiding in the shadows.

Gu Jinli is still the "Lin Gongzi" who shows off her men's clothes, although she and Mrs. Liu have had two or three frictions, it stands to reason that Mrs. Liu should not hold such a grudge against a man.

Could it be that she recognized Gu Jinli's identity?

If this is the case, then Mrs. Liu must not be left any longer.

However, Gu Jinli's face changed, and it may be that Mrs. Liu recognized "Lin Sheng" as a woman, and she was so jealous that she drugged her.

"Bang!" The windows swayed back and forth in the wind.

Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was so arrogant that it looked like it was about to blow the roof over.

Du Jiang closed the window and saw that there was still water dripping under the hem of Qi Hao's clothes, so he said intimately: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go down and order the kitchen to boil some ginger soup for you to warm up." ”

"You've been soaked in cold water for so long, and you've been drenched in rain, if the cold gets into your body, you're bound to get a wind chill."

"Okay." Qi Hao took a deep breath, rubbed his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly: "You go and send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Liu and see where she sent this letter." ”

Since it is the queen's dogleg, it is natural that Mrs. Liu cannot be eliminated immediately.

Otherwise, doesn't this confirm that he has the ambition of the wolf who plotted to usurp the throne, so that the matter was revealed, and he was angry and killed Mrs. Liu who exposed his crimes?

"Yes, lord." Du Jiang gave up his hand and walked out of the room.

At the same time, in the Mingyang Palace, the Eighth Prince stood in front of the window, looking at the storm outside, his face was gloomy like the inky sky, and there was no starlight.

Xiao Xiangzi shrank in the corner, secretly looking at the Eighth Prince, and his heart was up and down.

Since the eighth prince went to the Ning Palace, he was sullen and didn't say a word, as if someone had offended him.

Xiao Xiangzi didn't dare to talk to the Eighth Emperor Prince more, for fear that he would run into the muzzle.

A good slave is self-aware.

In addition, you must have a brain and be good at observing words and feelings.

Therefore, Xiao Xiangzi, who doesn't know the inside story, is boldly figuring out the reason for the displeasure of the eighth prince.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was so sad about the one in the Fuyuan Academy, could it be that he really fell in love with that woman?

And that woman took the initiative to "throw her arms and hug" to the eighth prince, and the eighth prince was unhappy because he was disturbed by Prince Ning halfway?

Thinking like this, Xiao Xiangzi only felt as if his head had been struck by a thunderbolt.

The Eighth Prince, he ...... Actually interested in my brother's woman?!

Yes, when the Eighth Emperor's leg was broken, Gu Jinli once gave a sachet to the Eighth Prince, but the queen saw that he was ruthlessly cut with scissors, and the Eighth Emperor was sad for a long time at that time, presumably this thought has been there since then.

It is also hoped that earlier, the moment Gu Jinli saved the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince was moved.

But no matter what, Xiao Xiangzi found it difficult to accept.

In addition to the relationship between the two sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, they also have a six-year age gap!

People say that a female freshman holds a golden rooster; Female sophomore, holding gold nuggets; Female junior, hugging gold bricks; Female senior, holding Ruyi; The fifth female college, the old mother; Female college sixth, holding golden beans; Female big seven, smiling; The female eighth is destined to be hairy; Female Dajiu, everything; Female college ten, everything is worth.

These eight princes are already nobles, what kind of golden beans are they holding? !

"Huh!" Xiao Xiangzi unconsciously felt a chill and goosebumps.

The Eighth Emperor's mind was full of Gu Jinli's shadow, and he was upset at this time, when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Xiangzi pouting inexplicably, with a look of disgust, and he couldn't help but shoot over with a pair of cold eyes.

Xiao Xiangzi felt the sudden two ice blades of the Eighth Emperor and shrunk his neck.
