Alas! Ye Qingyan sighed and closed the account book, "Let's go over and take a look." ”

When Ye Qingyan passed, Xiao Changqi also arrived, and he happened to be followed by Gu Yuliang, the secretary of the ministry.

Gu Yuliang's face was sad and panicked...... Concubine Li is his favorite daughter, she is pampered in the palm of her hand, and she has only been in her teens for ten years, and she sends a white-haired person to a black-haired person. This is nothing, the key is that she disrespected the decree, violated the order of the grounded emperor, and died outside, such as a mountain of ironclad evidence, which makes people powerless to refute, if His Majesty blames it, he will inevitably suffer the crime.

Xiao Changqi was discussing state affairs with Gu Yuliang, but suddenly heard that Concubine Li was gone, so he brought Gu Yuliang over.

"Lord Gu, mourning changes." Ye Qingyan said to Gu Yuliang, with a look of complete grief on his face.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, old minister......" Gu Yuliang choked up.

Xiao Changqi said to Gong Cheng: "Send Lord Gu to rest first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gong Cheng immediately walked through the imperial garden because of Gu Yuliang and went back to the front hall.

Gu Yuliang looked back at Concubine Li step by step, and her shoulders seemed to be much older in an instant.

After Gu Yuliang left, Ye Qingyan took a look at Concubine Li's body, and finally looked at the big hole on the back of her head, and said to Xiao Changqi: "The fatal injury looks like the back of the head, let the people in the inner prison check it carefully." ”

Xiao Changqi asked Concubine Li to be carried back to Yihe Palace first, and asked the inner prison and the people of the Shen Prison Department to investigate together.

Ye Qingyan looked at the flower bed where Concubine Li fell to death, which was a thorny flower, and then looked at the pool of blood left behind, and was silent.

In the previous life, Concubine Li was also famous, and compared with the previous life, this life is considered to have lived a long time.

"Your Majesty also mourns and changes." Ye Qingyan said to Xiao Changqi.

Xiao Changqi glanced at her, "......"

"However, no matter how sad it is, we must focus on state affairs, and these things can be handled by concubines."

“…… Isn't it to take care of the dragon's body? Xiao Changqi said.

Ye Qingyan looked Xiao Changqi's body up and down, as if he was a little emaciated, and nodded solemnly, "Take care of the dragon body too." ”

Xiao Changqi couldn't help laughing, "I will deal with political affairs first, and later, I will go to Kunyuan Palace." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Ye Qingyan saluted.

Xiao Changqi helped her up, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's all what a concubine should do." Ye Qingyan replied.

Then he watched Xiao Changqi leave the imperial garden with people and return to the former dynasty to continue to deal with the government. And Concubine Li's death doesn't seem to have affected him.

Ye Qingyan didn't retract his gaze until he couldn't see him anymore, and said to Duli: "Go to Yihe Palace." ”

After arriving at Yihe Palace, Ye Qingyan looked at the desolate palace and frowned slightly.

"Why is this happening here?" he asked. ”

The eunuch in charge of Yihe Palace replied tremblingly: "Since the master was placed under house arrest in the palace, it has gradually become like this. ”

Although it is not explicitly stated, the people in the palace are the best at picking up high and stepping on low. Originally, Yihe Palace had advanced a lot of shares, plus some palace people withheld it, and the remaining little things were basically nothing.

How can it be enough for the cost of a palace.

Concubine Li is also a beauty-loving person, how can she bear it. began to sell the things in the palace to people outside the palace secretly.

The original gorgeous palace finally became the desolate appearance it is now.

"The reason why the master went to the Imperial Garden was to pick some petals and come back to soak in the petal bath. The master likes to sprinkle fragrant flower petals in the bathtub the most......" As he spoke, the steward and eunuch began to cry.

Ye Qingyan looked at him indifferently.

"I know that Concubine Li likes to take a flower petal bath, why don't you pick it, but let the master go in person. She's under house arrest, are you under house arrest too? ”

"Minions, the minions have persuaded the master, but the master wants to go in person, and the minions have no choice."

"No way?" Ye Qingyan looked at his white and pure face, as well as his fine-skinned and tender hands, and said to the inner prison who followed him: "Take it down, and search his residence." ”

The eunuch in charge immediately turned blue, and a cold sweat broke out on his head, "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life, the slave has never done anything." ”

Ye Qingyan looked at Yihe and all the palace people in the palace, and suddenly felt upset, "Pull them all down and investigate them one by one." ”

All the palace people in Yihe Palace were taken away, Ye Qingyan looked at the empty hall, and even the curtains were thick cloth curtains in winter, not tribute satin cloud brocade, it was conceivable that Concubine Li would definitely be uncomfortable these days.

is such a beautiful woman who loves beauty and pays attention to it, she must be resentful and unwilling in her heart. She didn't do anything wrong, she wanted to invite pets, wanted to be favored by Xiao Changqi, and glorified her ancestors for herself and her mother. It can be said that the women of the entire harem are doing this.

Ye Qingyan wanted to know more about Concubine Li's state before her death, so she let go of her mental power and looked through this Yihe Palace......

As a result, it didn't matter if she looked at it, the corners of Ye Qingyan's mouth suddenly twitched.

On the couch of Li Concubine's bedroom, there is a dark compartment with a jade ||Force......

Really, some secrets are still not known.

Nian Li continued to explore, and some palace people who were serving and supervising were searching the residences of those palace maids and eunuchs, and a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a lot of jade treasures, were only used by concubines and masters.

Sure enough, not only the palace people outside bullied Concubine Li, but also the people who served her.

Suddenly, Ye Qingyan's face became solemn.

Then he took the palace man into the study. There were only a few books on the shelves, and the Baibao grid was even more empty, not even a single porcelain ornament.

Ye Qingyan first walked around the study, walked around to take a look, and sometimes turned over the ...... After a few moments, she walked over to her target bookshelf.

The reason why this is so is that I don't want people to find out what is wrong. Otherwise, she walked directly to the bookshelf, and her purpose was too strong, which would inevitably arouse suspicion.

The bookshelves are half-embedded in the wall and are not easy to move.

But she still asked them to move the bookshelves out......

When the bookshelf was removed, there was a dark compartment behind it.

And inside the dark grid, there is a white bone!

In the heart of the chest of the white bones, there is also a dagger inserted, the dagger has complex and gorgeous lines, and it is also inlaid with gemstone jade, which must be extraordinary.

Liuli and the others were also shocked when they saw the white bones behind the bookshelf.

"Mother, what is this?"

"Tell the people of the Prison Division to come over and examine this white bone carefully."

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Ye Qingyan wanted to take a closer look at the dagger, but was finally stopped by Qingxing, "Niangniang, this thing is not clean and ominous, you should stay away." ”

Ye Qingyan looked at Qingxing with a serious face, so he had to retreat again, "Okay." Then he looked at the dagger with only his mental strength.

There is a word 'forest' engraved on it.

Forest?

Ye Qingyan subconsciously remembered the Lin family, the mother of Lin Rongrong, the first filial piety queen.
