After Luo Cheng left the palace, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to do things like his ancestors, but got into the carriage and went back to Luofu directly.

Luo Qing was embroidering a purse in her small courtyard while waiting for the news of her father's return, and when Xiaohuan ran back from outside to tell her that her father was back, Luo Qing quickly put down the embroidery in her hand, picked up a pair of socks that had been made a long time ago, and hurriedly walked towards her father's study.

Luo Cheng has a son and two daughters, but among the two daughters, the favorite is Luo Qing, the eldest daughter; is not only because Luo Qing is gentle and kind, but more importantly, Luo Qing's personality is most like him when he was young, full of poetry and books, and has no quarrel with the world, every time he sees such an excellent daughter, Luo Cheng has a sense of honor.

Therefore, when he saw his beloved daughter running to see him, he quickly put away the contemplation on his face and looked at Luo Qing who walked into the study with a smile.

"Why does Qing'er have time to see her father today?"

Looking at her father sitting behind the desk, the smile on Luo Qing's face became even more pure and delicate, and she presented the socks in her hand in front of her father, and said, "Listening to Daddy's words, it seems that she is blaming Qing'er, but Qing'er comes to Daddy every day to ask for peace; Oh, this is a gift for Daddy, didn't Daddy say that he likes the shoes and socks that my mother made for you the most? It's just that in the past few days, my mother's back pain has been committed, and I can't sit down to make new shoes and socks for my father, Qing'er's embroidery work is taught by my mother, and even my mother praised Qing'er's craftsmanship is very talented, if my father doesn't dislike it, take it and wear it, if it fits, next time my daughter will do it for my father. ”

Looking at the well-behaved daughter in front of him, and at the snow-white and clean shoes and socks that his daughter was holding in her hand, the dullness in Luo Cheng's heart had already been swept away.

Hurriedly took the shoes and socks from his daughter's hands, and carefully looked at the fine stitches embroidered on the snow-white socks, Luo Cheng's heart began to be faintly sour.

The daughter is in love with King Xi, and sooner or later she is going to marry into King Xi's mansion, although King Xi is a man who can be entrusted for life, but Luo Cheng is still very reluctant; I always felt in my heart that it was King Xi's kid who robbed him of his heart and soul, especially now, looking at such an excellent daughter, thinking that his daughter would also sew shoes and socks for King Xi in the future, Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Seeing his father holding himself as his shoes and socks and cherishing it, Luo Qing's heart was also happy.

But thinking of the scene when he saw King Xi on the street during the day, he looked his father up and down, followed, and asked tentatively: "Dad, is there something going on in the palace?" ”

Luo Cheng suddenly heard Luo Qing ask this question, and raised his head to look at her in surprise; Although the murder of Zhou Guifei has been spread, but after all, her daughter is a woman in the back house, and the news is relatively closed, so it stands to reason that even if the news spreads quickly, it should not reach the homes of court officials at such a fast speed.

Luo Cheng looked at Luo Qing with a slightly serious expression, and was not in a hurry to answer her, but asked rhetorically, "Where did Qing'er know that something happened in the palace?" ”

"Is something really wrong?!"

This time it was Luo Qing's turn to be surprised: "Don't hide it from my father, in fact, these are all guessed by Qing'er herself, because during the day, Qing'er went out to Linglong Zhai with Xiaohuan to buy jewelry, and saw King Xi hurrying through the street on a fast horse, and Qing'er rarely saw that anxious look on his face; So I guessed if something happened in the palace; After all, the prince is a child of the royal family, and presumably only the affairs of the palace can make him show such a nervous expression. ”

After hearing what his daughter said, Luo Cheng understood what was going on, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Considering Luo Qing's intelligence and general knowledge, Luo Cheng did not hide it from her and told her: "Yes, something happened in the palace, Zhou Guifei was killed, and the murderer of Zhou Guifei was Chu He, the son of Jingbei Hou. ”

"What? Is it Chu Shizi? Isn't Chu Shizi the crown princess's brother? He, why did he do that? Daddy, could you be mistaken? ”

Looking at his surprised daughter, Luo Cheng didn't want to tell her too much, so as not to involve her as well; In fact, telling her about this incident in the palace is also to let her have a number in her heart, after all, this incident is also the biggest thing that has happened in the capital recently, and sooner or later it will be known to everyone, and there is no need for him to hide it from his daughter.

As for the hidden circumstances of this matter, considering the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he talked to Chu Shizi, Luo Cheng naturally would not talk to Luo Qing more.

"Qing'er, how could my father talk nonsense with you about this kind of thing, since I said it, it must be the truth. Child, you have always been smart, and this matter is quite tricky, because the people involved are the most noble people, and when you go outside, if anyone talks about it, you must not go up and talk nonsense; Also, King Xi's mood may be heavier recently, if he asks you out to meet, you have always been sensible and well-behaved, please comfort him a little more; Also, Daddy wants to tell you one thing, Daddy was appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to handle this case, Daddy may be busy during this time, if you have time, you can accompany your mother more. ”

Although Luo Qing is smart, she is a little girl after all, and she suddenly knew that such a serious thing happened in the palace, and she couldn't react until now.

When she finally came back to her senses, the first thing she thought about was the errand that her father was doing for the prince right now, and she couldn't help but start to worry a little: "Dad, this case involves so many people with special status, if the prince wants you to handle it, will it be a little difficult to start?" ”

Looking at his daughter who was worried about him, Luo Cheng's eyes were full of love, and said: "Although Zhou Guifei is said to be the favorite concubine of the harem, the prince and King Heng seem to be quite dislike her, in fact, it is understandable that the women in the harem have no means to sit in the position of the favorite concubine; The crown prince and King Heng are both good-natured people, naturally they don't like this kind of woman who is full of intrigue and tricks, and now that Concubine Zhou is killed, the murderer is the prince's brother-in-law, and the prince naturally wants to save the prince of Chu out of personal feelings. ”

When Luo Qing heard this, she expressed her opinion: "Although my daughter is not familiar with the prince, I have also heard that the prince is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, if it is really Chu Shizi who committed a big mistake of murder, and the prince wants to protect Chu Shizi, isn't he shielding him?" ”

"It's not about covering up, at least now even my father feels that Chu Shizi can't be blamed for Zhou Guifei's death."

Luo Cheng obviously thought of what Chu Shizi said in the prison just now, in order to achieve her goal, Zhou Guifei took the handle of the crown princess to coerce Chu Shizi into submission, Chu Shizi is a good brother who loves his sister, so naturally it is impossible for Zhou Guifei to use it, so he was forced to kill people in desperation.

It can be seen that she herself has to pay half of the responsibility for Zhou Guifei's death.

Seeing that his father's expression was full of thoughts and eyebrows, Luo Qing obediently stepped aside and poured a cup of warm tea for his father, and said, "Daddy, although my daughter doesn't know much about this whole thing, my daughter believes that with her father's ability, she will never wronged anyone at will; At present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusts his father, and his daughter will support his father in everything he does; It's just that Qing'er asked her father to agree, no matter how tricky and busy this case is, Dad must take good care of his body, and don't even take care of himself when he is busy like before, until he is tired and sick. ”

Luo Cheng naturally agreed to his daughter's intimate request in one sip, took a sip of the tea poured by Luo Qing, and the father and daughter said a few words briefly, and Luo Qing left.

Seeing that his beloved daughter was gone, Luo Cheng called the subordinates who were waiting outside in and ordered: "Send someone out to check on the Zhou Mansion to see if there is any change in the Zhou Mansion today." ”

The subordinate received the order and went down immediately to do it.

Luo Cheng sat silently on the wide-backed chair with the shoes and socks made for him by his daughter, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

Before leaving the palace, the words that Mr. Fu said in his ear are still fresh in his memory, and the more these words swirl in his heart, the more strange they make him feel.

According to the news he got, after Zhou Guifei encountered an accident, Emperor Showa fainted due to the loss of his beloved concubine, which shows that in Emperor Showa's heart, Zhou Guifei's weight should not be light; However, if this is the case, why did Emperor Showa send Zhou Guifei back to the Zhou family, and also erase her title and name from the royal jade butterfly.

You must know that Emperor Showa's move is diametrically opposed to his deep love for Zhou Guifei, erasing people from the royal family Jade Butterfly, which is a punishment that only sinners who have made a big mistake will receive; Concubine Zhou has almost never made a mistake in the three years since she entered the palace, and she is also very favored, what is Emperor Showa doing this for?

Luo Cheng felt that as he learned more and more, the fog in front of him became thicker and thicker; And the truth is getting closer and closer to him.

Thinking of the situation that he might encounter after approaching the truth, Luo Cheng clenched the shoes and socks in his hand, he now has a wife and a daughter, and if he is not forced to do so, he will naturally not let himself fall into an unpredictable place.

……

The next day, after Chu Xingyue woke up, he learned from Chun Xing's mouth about a terrifying thing that happened last night.

In the second half of last night, the Zhou Mansion suddenly broke into the thief, and the thief went straight to the Zhou Mansion as a family member Zhou Gao Zhou, and after seriously injuring Zhou Daren, he retreated through the night.

And Zhou Gao, who was seriously injured by the thief, was finally lucky to save his life after being rescued by the doctor and the imperial doctor in the house, but he hurt the man's roots, and from now on he is no different from a waste person.

Listening to Chun Xing's announcement of the assassination of Zhou Fu, Chu Xingyue was interested, and said: "That murderer is quite interesting, he didn't take Zhou Gao's life, but hurt Zhou Gao's descendants; People who don't know still think that this murderer is coming for Eunuch Zhougao. ”

Hearing Chu Xingyue say this, Chunxing's eyes immediately widened, and she said, "Miss, how do you know?!" ”

Looking at Chun Xing, who was so excited, Chu Xingyue was stunned!

Ha?

She just said nonsense casually, but I didn't expect it to really be accurate for her?!
