Chapter 108: Expulsion from the capital

Chu Jinrong's hand that helped her cover the quilt paused, and he changed the topic, "Where are you going in a hurry just now?" ”

Li Qiuchi's face sank, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, "I'm going to find out the truth, how can there be any real bull ghosts and snake gods, someone must be pretending to be a ghost." I want to see who is trying to harm me! ”

Chu Jinrong casually found a chair next to her to sit on, "What's there to find, doesn't it just follow our wishes?" When the time comes, you can use the topic to play and say that I am not worthy of being a prince. ”

Li Qiuchi was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, "You are stupid!" It's obvious that someone is trying to harm me! If we don't solve the troubles, we don't know how we will die when the time comes! ”

Seeing Li Qiuchi regain his vigorous appearance, the corners of his lips inadvertently hooked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Li Qiuchi's eyes gradually cooled, "A tooth for a tooth." When I find the person behind me, I will make him pay! ”

At this time, the emperor went to the palace.

"The crown princess is ominous, queen, what do you think?" Chu Junlan sat at the desk and wrote the inscription.

The queen sat next to Chu Junlan, her face was cold and her voice was cold, and she asked him, "What does the emperor think?" ”

Chu Junlan's pen hand paused, and his brows were deeply locked, "I'm only afraid that the crown princess is really an ominous person, after all, Qin Tianjian is convincing, and I have to be suspicious." ”

The queen sneered and stood up, she flicked her sleeves, "The crown princess was praised by the emperor a few days ago, saying that she is blessed with great fortune and is blessed to the royal family, but she doesn't dare to suddenly become an ominous person." Your Majesty, could this person still be able to change the arts? ”

Chu Junlan put down his pen, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes gradually became cold, "You mean, someone is deliberately plotting to kill the crown princess behind his back?" ”

He saw the queen's acquiescence and stood up angrily, "What a bold man! Dare to murder the crown princess! I am determined to find out the real culprit behind this scene in order to show the law of the country! ”

"Your Majesty, slow down." The queen stopped him suddenly.

"Oh?" Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows and looked at the queen, "What does the queen think?" ”

The queen spoke slowly, "Now that the crown prince has succeeded to the position of the East Palace, you can't rely too much on the emperor." If the emperor asked the two of them to check on their own, they could also take this opportunity to see how strong they were. ”

Chu Junlan pondered for a moment and sat down slowly, "In this way, according to what the queen said." ”

The incident happened at the scene of the Temple of Heaven, Li Qiuchi thought about it, and he still had to start investigating from the scene first to see if there were any clues.

She led a team of guards to the scene in a majestic manner, and according to Li Qiuchi's instructions, they acted separately to find out if there was any substance that could attract snakes. But she found that the snake that was originally in the Temple of Heaven had also disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding area was even more empty, without any gain! Li Qiuchi didn't give up, and looked through every corner, and found that they were just some very ordinary things. Several people focused on the Temple of Heaven, but because the Temple of Heaven was for sacrifice, they did not dare to act rashly.

Li Qiuchi took a closer look and found that there was indeed nothing that attracted snakes. Her brow tightened, and it seemed that the perpetrator was cautious enough to leave no trace. But if it's not here, where is the clue? Is it possible that it is not something that beckons snakes, it could be something else?

No way.

She quickly vetoed the idea in her head. There must be a reason why the snake doesn't come running at her for no reason, let alone attacking her for no reason. Or, or the perpetrator was cautious enough to put the snake-summoning substance on her body, and then quickly withdrew it when the snake came; Either that, or there is something wrong with the Temple of Heaven itself.

She had just inspected it, and there would be no problem with the Temple of Heaven. But there are only so many people close to her, and the only ones who can quickly put the snake beckon on her, and then quickly get it back while she is unconscious, are only the queen and Chu Jinrong, and it is impossible for others.

But there is no reason to do so. Intellectually speaking, such an approach has no interest in them at all. Besides, with this affection, she is still willing to believe them.

So who is it that wants to harm her behind her back?

The guards who went out to look for it also came back quickly, again without the slightest clue. Li Qiuchi suddenly fell into a deeper confusion, she frowned and pondered, her heart was like numbness, and she didn't have the slightest clue.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Qiuchi had no choice but to leave with everyone. For three days in a row, Li Qiuchi and all the guards went back and forth to the Temple of Heaven to look for clues, but they still did not find anything suspicious.

The night before returning to Beijing, Li Qiuchi sat beside the bed, a little depressed. After all, the sacrifice lasted only three days, and they would go back early tomorrow morning. But the clue couldn't be found, and her heart was always like being pulled by a thread, which was very uncomfortable. Seeing the passage of time, she had no choice. And so, she sat down until dawn.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Qiuchi followed the army back to the palace. On the carriage, Li Qiuchi's face was haggard and tired. Seeing that Chu Jinrong was a little distressed, he was relieved: "Don't worry, I'm also investigating, and I can always find out the real culprit." You don't have too much psychological burden. ”

Li Qiuchi's heart flowed warmly, "Okay." ”

However, as soon as they returned to Chaoyang City, the news of the ominous crown princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty was widely publicized. The word of mouth of the people spreads the word, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes, and even causes panic. There was even a storyteller in the teahouse who talked about this incident, and he said it so godly that everyone was terrified and clamored to drive Li Qiuchi out of the capital. The restaurant opened by Li Qiuchi also often had people make trouble, and business plummeted. In the folk, nursery rhymes were also made, talking about the ominous things about the crown princess.

The matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it has affected the local officials, and after the county order reported the matter to the imperial court, the head of the household began to ask for a performance.

"Your Majesty, the minister proposed to let the crown princess temporarily move out of the capital to stabilize the hearts of the people!" He hung his head, but his voice was unwavering.

Several ministers stepped forward, "The minister seconded. Your Majesty, the will of the people is the foundation of the society! ”

"Ridiculous!" Chu Junlan slapped the dragon chair suddenly, he scolded sharply, and when his cold eyes swept down, it seemed that there was a chill everywhere, "You don't think about how to suppress the rumors below, but blame a woman!" Master Guo, you have read the books of sages and sages, and you took the lead in making such an unreasonable request, don't you feel ashamed! ”

Lord Guo's face turned red when he was said, and he muttered: "The minister is just for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people of the Great Zhou!" I don't mean to blame the crown princess! ”

"If it's for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is even more important to suppress the rumor-mongers! Master Guo, I think you are going back more and more as you live! Do you know that they are so indulgent in rumors today, so as to shake the people's hearts and challenge the national prestige, what will happen next time? Chu Junlan's eyes were filled with anger, and the people below knelt down one after another, not daring to come out.
