This was the first time Xiao Jiading entered Wu Zetian's dormitory, and he saw that the floor in the wide hall was inlaid with bluestone slabs carved with the sun and moon. Xiao Jiading immediately understood that this was the meaning of Wu Zetian's "曌".

Wu Zetian quietly listened to the queen's maid explain her intentions, and nodded calmly: "Your mother is very thoughtful, and it is most appropriate to let Xiao Zhiyi take on this case." Compared to the emperor, he would also agree. After that, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Zhiyi, in addition to the three palace maids sent to me by the queen mother, there is also a palace maid in my palace who disappeared on the same day, and you have to find out together, what is going on." I will send an order to the people in the palace to fully cooperate with you in your investigation. I hope to find a few of them as soon as possible, and return my innocence, so that the queen mother will not think that I killed her and affect the friendship between our sisters. ”

Xiao Jiading knew that Wu Zetian and Queen Wang were now incompatible, but they pretended to be intimate, which was the ability of a good schemer.

Wu Zetian beckoned Shu Juan, the female official of the dormitory, and asked her to accompany Xiao Jiading to investigate everywhere.

Xiao Jiading was not in a hurry to investigate, and finally met Wu Zetian, and the first person to inquire was her.

From a logical point of view, it is too likely that Wu Zetian will execute these three maids, she and Queen Wang are fighting openly and secretly, and Queen Wang sent three maids to Wu Zetian's side, naturally to monitor her whereabouts, how can Wu Zetian keep three spies by his side? It is impossible for her to be straightforward, because this is given by the queen, and it is reasonable that she must do it, and of course it is impossible to execute it directly, so the queen will not do it. The smartest, of course, is to make her disappear mysteriously. No one is to blame. Even if Queen Wang has an opinion, there is no way.

At present, Wu Zetian is the most likely to send someone to commit the crime, so. The first thing to ask was her.

Xiao Jiading said: "Niangniang, I just want to ask Niangniang you first, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Wu Zetian replied with a smile.

"May I ask when these three maids came to Niangniang's dormitory?"

"A year ago, not long after I entered the palace. I was invited back by the queen's mother, and the mother treated me like a sister, so I sent Chun Tao, Xia He, and Qiu Ju to call me, these three people have a deep relationship with me, she is missing, and I am also very sad, this palace is such a big place. Where can they go? ”

Speaking of emotion, Wu Zetian's eyes are red, which makes Xiao Jiading an eye-opener again, Wu Zetian is too good at acting, so beautiful, and so good at acting, if he is in modern society, he is definitely a popular movie star.

Xiao Jiading asked again: "Where are these three people doing things in Niangniang's dormitory?" What are you responsible for? ”

"All three of them are with me, my personal maids. When the queen said this, I naturally had to listen to the mother's words, so I kept them by my side. The place where they live is also in my dormitory, so it is convenient to summon them at any time. ”

"And when did they go missing?"

"About a month ago." Wu Zetian sighed. "The maid came that day and reported that she had not seen the three of them get up, and the door was also hidden, and when she opened it, there was no one in the house. The bedding is neatly stacked. ”

"When was the last time you saw them?"

"The night before, they waited for me to go to sleep. I went back. ”

Xiao Jiading nodded, and asked again: "Then do the three of them have any enemies in the palace?" ”

"Nope. At least I didn't know they had enemies. ”

"What did the missing maid in the Niangniang's dormitory do? When did you go missing? ”

"She was a rough maid who was in charge of cleaning the yard, and her name was Sweet Peach. She also disappeared on the same day, I asked, and the night before, someone saw her go out and didn't come back. He didn't come back the next day, so he reported me. Although Xiang Tao is just a rough girl, she is still a very responsible person, although a little stupid, but cautious, very timid, I am worried that she will not obey the instigation of Chun Tao and them, and go out to do something together, but the result is ......, alas, where can they go in this palace with high walls and deep courtyards? Could it be haunted? ”

Xiao Jiading said: "The palace is the residence of the emperor, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the yang energy is the most vigorous, so it is impossible for ghosts and gods to haunt him." ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, you are afraid, there are no ghosts and gods, and people deliberately pretend to be ghosts!" ”

Xiao Jiading glanced at it and said, "What does Niangniang mean ......?" ”

"Seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, there are really a lot of people who are jealous of me and the queen's mother's love for sisters, maybe someone is secretly playing ghosts, and wants to use this to separate my relationship with the queen's mother. Such a person, Xiao Zhiyi must find out, I will definitely not let it go, I have to reason with her in front of the emperor. I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Xiao Jiading's heart sank, and when he heard what Wu Zetian meant, he hoped that he would find out that it was a certain lady or Queen Wang who sent someone to execute these three people, and then blame Wu Zetian. In this way, Wu Zetian not only eradicated the eyeliner of these three queen mothers, but also killed two birds with one stone, taking the opportunity to rectify other concubines and even the queen mother herself.

Xiao Jiading glanced at Wu Zetian with kindness, and saw that there was indeed a hidden expectation in her eyes. It was a self-evident feeling, and Xiao Jiading could understand the connotation, which was exactly what he had just guessed.

However, then again, although the biggest suspect in the murderer of these three people is Wu Zetian, it cannot be ruled out that the possibility that Wu Zetian said, that is, the queen thief shouted to catch the thief, and she sent someone to execute the three maids she sent, taking the opportunity to falsely accuse Wu Zetian.

So what's going on in this case?

Regardless of what to do later, first find out the truth of the matter, and then decide what to do.

Xiao Jiading said: "I want to go to the residence of these four maids now, and then ask the people around them." ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Jiading followed the female official of the dormitory out, asked for the name, and learned that the female official's name was Chunshan. asked her something about these three people, and this Chun Yi replied very decently, speaking according to Wu Zetian's train of thought, and almost did not give Xiao Jiading any useful information. Xiao Jiading understood that this female official should be Wu Zetian's confidant, and she was a very cautious person.

When I came out, it had already rained and the sky was clear, and the sky after the rain was exceptionally blue, and only in ancient times could I see such a blue sky, and now the sky of society has been shrouded in haze.

When I came to the residence of the three of them, it was in the wing room of the dormitory. The room remains the same, with no changes. The room was simple, but neat, and the bedding was neatly stacked there. There are no signs of damage to the doors and windows. Xiao Jiading asked the maid who lived next door again, and said that he had not found any unusual actions or words of the three of them before, and it had always been normal, the three of them were kind to people, they had no enemies, and they had never even quarreled with others. In the mouths of these people, these three people seem to be moral models.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Xiao Jiading went to the rough maid's residence to inquire again, and the result was almost the same, and there was no progress.

It seems that the external investigation will not find anything famous. The key question is, find these four people. Live or die.

Although the palace is very large, the scope is limited after all, and the palace is heavily guarded, so it is impossible for the four of them to get out. Although Queen Wang had already said that the officials of the imperial city had verified and said that these people had not left the palace, Xiao Jiading still found the guards of the imperial city again and inquired about the situation that night. The city keeper showed him the records of that night, and no one entered or left the imperial city that night. Moreover, it is a team of people who act as gatekeepers, and it is impossible to let people out without others knowing.

After this day's investigation, there was no progress, but Xiao Jiading was not in a hurry, even if the case could not be solved, he didn't care. Because this involves a battle within the court, the result of his detection will inevitably displease one of them, and he is afraid that it will not do him any good. Of course, judging from the future development, if the result of the case is favorable to Wu Zetian, Xiao Jiading is still willing to announce the result.

Now, he just needs to do his best. Since there is no clue, there is no way. Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Jiading decided to go home.

Back at home, the maid Nenzhu gave him a surprise: "Young master, guess who is coming?" ”

"Who?"

"Guess what!" Nenzhu pouted.

"Give me a hint."

"Yizhou's! Female, very famous. ”

"A very famous woman?" Xiao Jiading's eyes rolled, "It won't be Huang Shiyun, the first talented woman in Yizhou, right?" ”

"Young master, you are so smart! That's her! She's and her daddy coming to visit you! Now I'm talking to Miss Ya Niang in the flower hall. ”

Xiao Jiading was really surprised and delighted, Huang Shiyun, the woman she used to hate very much when she just crossed over, in the future, slowly changed and became reasonable, and she also had two intimate contacts with herself. Now that I suddenly heard her coming, my heart couldn't help but jump up.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly came to the flower hall, stood at the door open, and saw where Huang Shiyun was sitting with his father Huang Dong, talking to Ya Niang with a humble attitude. Arched his hand and said: "Huang Sifang!" Xiao Yue! You're coming. ”

Huang Dong saw Xiao Jiading coming in, and quickly got up, Huang Dong stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Xiao Zhiyi!" Don't come unharmed! ”

"TOEFL, Huang Sifang has always been good? What kind of wind blew the two of them to the capital? (To be continued......)
