Chapter 407: Frightened Night

"What he said turned out to be true."

Facing Sima Yu in the ice coffin, Xia Chengyou whispered to the Empress Dowager Xia.

Hearing that the eunuchs had a secret way back, Empress Dowager Xia and Xia Chengyou only came in with a few close attendants.

Empress Dowager Xia leaned over and looked at Empress Dowager Long, who was leaning on the ice coffin and wearing only a skirt: "This is strange, how can this mother and son be so disheveled?" ”

The young man in the ice coffin was wearing a pale golden undergarment, and the Empress Dowager Long, who was leaning on the ice coffin, was also wearing only a white underskirt.

"Maybe it's too much of a rush?" Don't forget to whisper on the side.

"No, it won't." Xia Chengyou continued, "Listen to what that fake Sima Yu means, Sima Yu in this ice coffin should have been dead for a long time, and they should have enough time to change their clothes at that time." ”

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Xia looked at the white porcelain wine bottle that fell to the ground next to the ice coffin, "This demon woman should have died of poison...... The mourners understood...... Didn't those palace people say that Long Jinfeng came to find this demon woman before the fire started. Presumably she's also in this secret room......"

"Then follow the secret passage to find it!" Xia Chengyou looked at the swarthy passage, "There will always be clues." ”

Empress Dowager Xia and Xia Chengyou sent their henchmen to walk through the entire secret passage, but they did not find the exit, and then ordered the entire secret passage to be sealed.

The body of the Empress Dowager Long was discovered, and the Empress Dowager Xia's heart disease became even worse.

A queen who had just been married escaped.

How similar is this to Empress Yang back then?

Could that dragon Jinfeng also be pregnant?

Will there be another teenager killed in the court more than ten years later?

The more Empress Dowager Xia thought about it, the more worried she became.

didn't even talk to Xia Chengyou about marrying a concubine.

"Grandma!" Xia Chengyou also saw Empress Dowager Xia's uneasiness, "This is not difficult, I heard that Long Jinfeng was disfigured, it is easy to find." Now that Yingtian is still in lockdown, she can't escape. Even if we rummage through Yingtian City, we will find her out...... It is better to follow Wu Guo's example last time and let the household department go door-to-door to check the population. We're sure we'll find her. ”

Hearing Xia Chengyou talk about Wu Guo's investigation, Empress Dowager Xia couldn't help asking, "Who is the girl who sent the letter to Jin Ling?" ”

Xia Chengyou turned his head with a dark expression: "I don't want to say it." ”

"Hey!" Empress Dowager Xia sighed, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." Go back and let the people from the household department check it. It happens to be the first year of the year, and it is also a day for family reunion, so it is easy to check. ”

Xia Chengyou saluted and withdrew.

Here, Empress Dowager Xia looked at Mo Forgetful and said, "You send more medical women to monitor all the people who have just become pregnant in Yingtian City." That dragon Jinfeng has just been married for two months, count the time, go and check! People who are pregnant in this short period of time are mainly checked. ”

"Mother? Wouldn't it be too ......" Don't forget to say that it will be too exciting, but looking at Empress Dowager Xia's sad appearance, she nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, the slave maid will personally arrange someone to do this." ”

The first day of the year is the most celebratory day of the year.

However, there are few firecrackers and fireworks in Yingtian City.

Sima Yu made a holy decree on the twenty-eighth day of the New Year. The people of the household department scattered the people and horses overnight to count the registered population in Yingtian City. From twenty-eight to the beginning of the year, the city searched for people day and night.

During the night, people who were already sleeping peacefully were awakened by the sound of a knock on the door.

Officials dressed in household uniforms held pamphlets and went door to door to check the population.

In view of the fact that the new emperor killed the Sima clan of the Long family and the family members of more than a dozen high-ranking officials in just over ten days, people were also frightened.

When the door knocked, the timid broke the window and fled. For a while, in the cold night, the sound of calling the door and crying in Yingtian City was endless.

The crowd of the Yang family's dried fruit shop in Zhenweifang was also awakened, and everyone gathered in the hall and the two household officials and the two criminal department officials ascended the throne one by one to verify.

When the Li mother and daughter were found, because the mother and son were not the population of Yingtian, the criminal department had to take them away.

Dabao and Xiaobao were originally asleep and were woken up suddenly, and they put on their clothes and came out, and the two of them hugged their mother's legs left and right, and they were so frightened that they cried.

"We were rescued by the eldest princess, and the eldest princess arranged us here." In the face of two crying children, Li pretended to be calm and the theory of the criminal department.

"That's right! We can all testify! Yang Zhong led the family to step forward and said, "The eldest princess and His Royal Highness King Qi once came to our shop. ”

"You were rescued by the eldest princess?" The people from the Criminal Department softened a lot when they heard the eldest princess's tone, "We are also acting on orders." Don't worry, you come with us first, and when we ask clearly, the eldest princess will naturally let you come back. ”

"Where are you going?" It is not possible to move out of the name of the eldest princess, Li only felt that his throat and eyes were dry, "The children are still young, and they are already frightened...... On this cold day, the children are not dressed neatly. We're going to live here, and we're not leaving, so why don't you send someone to watch it? ”

"This sister, we are also routine." The people from the Criminal Department shook their heads, "This is the emperor's decree, and please don't embarrass us." ”

"There it is!" Li touched his waist and took down a piece of jade pendant, "This is the jade pendant that His Royal Highness King Qi gave to my two children, and it has Qi characters on it." Is it okay for you to take this crossover? The children are still young, please don't take us away for the sake of their fatherless father, and for the sake of a widowed mother who follows me. We're right here, we're not leaving. We are not assassins, nor are we the remnants of the Wei State, we have always supported the wine fairy and the eldest princess ......"

Li Shi trembled and held the jade pendant, looking at the people in the criminal department with longing eyes.

The criminal department glanced at each other, and one of them reached out and took the jade pendant and looked at the light. Sure enough, the jade pendant was engraved with a Qi character.

"She's telling the truth!" The old lady of the Yang family stood up on crutches, "Our Yang family's dried fruit shop is a century-old shop, and we will guarantee the reputation of the Yang family for a hundred years!" The three of them, mother and son, are really the eldest princess's people. For the sake of the children, don't take them away! You were also raised by your biological parents. The eldest princess loves these two children the most, if they get sick because of your cold, and the eldest princess will be held accountable at that time, will you suffer from the sin? ”

The two people from the Criminal Department glanced at each other again, and the one holding the jade pendant said: "That's okay, we'll keep the jade pendant first, and then send it back when it's clear!" ”

There was no need to be taken away, Li instantly squatted down and hugged the two children: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"We'll send someone to watch at the door!" The person from the criminal department said, "Don't go out. ”

"Got it, got it!" Li nodded again and again, tears raining down.

Watching the four of them leave.

The old lady of the Yang family sighed and sat down on the high chair with a long sigh: "Why is this like this....."

"I should be looking for someone!" Yang Zhong said in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that there was a fire in the Empress Dowager Long's palace?" I'm afraid someone has escaped. Okay, let's go to sleep. I didn't do anything wrong, and I wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. It's going to be fine after a while. ”
