Zhong Ye disappeared, but the people from Yunyang Bofu had already gone to the government to report the case.

Three or four people survived, and they told the story of what had happened.

Especially when I heard those people mention Zhong Ye's matter several times.

Lu Xiang was also impeached by Yushi, saying that he was involved in danger and shielded Zhong Ye, and it was not appropriate to handle the case again.

Therefore, King Duan and Liu Huan argued with reason in the court, and the ministers were also divided into two factions.

In the end, the imperial court sent another person to investigate the matter, and the first thing was to seal up the Chaoyong Mansion.

Although the case has not yet been decided, most people in the capital are already convinced that Zhong Ye is the leader of the bandits.

The officers and soldiers went to the outskirts of the city to clear several times and caught dozens of thieves, but they didn't even see Zhong Ye's shadow.

At the same time, the palace was not peaceful.

Concubine Zeng Li was sick, and the doctor diagnosed the pulse, saying that it was qi stagnation and liver depression, and instructed her to calm down and recuperate, and never get angry.

It turned out that the queen took care of Concubine Zeng Li, and felt that the palace people around her were a little weak and clumsy. So he deliberately carefully selected a few palace maids and eunuchs to put them in Cuiming Palace, and it was really useful, and even the emperor praised the queen's virtue.

But it didn't take long for one of the little palace maids to be favored by the emperor because she came to serve the emperor when he was drunk, after all, Concubine Zeng Li had not slept for a long time.

Concubine Zeng Li couldn't help but be annoyed, although the emperor explained everything possible afterwards and drove the palace maid away, but after all, it was a blockage for Concubine Li.

But there is no turning back from the bow, since it has been said that the queen will take care of her, then she can't give up halfway.

Therefore, Bai Shun beside Concubine Zeng Li stared at the people sent by the queen like a thief every day.

"Niangniang, look, Miss Yu's method really works." Bai Lu's tone was not without pride, and he said while pulling the queen's white hair: "They have always been pressing step by step, and now it's time for us to vent." ”

"This little thing can't hurt her roots," the queen slowly counted a string of jade prayer beads, and said slowly: "We still have to be cautious, and we must not relax until the last moment." ”

"What the mother commanded, the slave remembered." Bai Lu hurriedly said, "We want to succeed in one blow." ”

"Well, that's not something that can be done in a day and a half. Yu Shan can't come to me often in order to avoid suspicion, and we can't give her any benefits now, but we may be looked down upon," the queen looked at the stems of white hair on the dressing table, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart: "You just send something to Concubine Chen every few days, and naturally there will be her share." ”

"It's still the mother who thinks about everything," Bai Lu saw that the queen had been looking at the white hair on the dressing table, and hurriedly put it away: "The slave will do it when he turns around." ”

"I'll go and see the prince," said the queen, "and this boy doesn't care too much for his body, and if he hadn't braved the rain that day to bring a doctor to see Si Xian, he would have been sick!" The crown princess is too, she is only blindly gentle and soft-hearted, thinking that everyone is a good person, how can she succeed like this?! ”

"The crown prince and the crown princess are both pure and kind people, this is naturally influenced by you," Bai Lu said: "The slave said something that does not know the depths, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and if you are too kind, you are easy to be deceived by others, so there must be such a person around the prince who is decisive to kill." ”

"Why shouldn't I?" The queen smiled bitterly: "In the end, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and in the eyes of the world, there is only fame and fortune, wine and lust, and only goodness is worthless." ”

"Niangniang was heartbroken by those people," Bai Lu was heartbroken: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold!" ”

"Speaking of which, how is Hyun doing now? I sent you to see him yesterday, and you went? The queen asked as she walked out.

"The third prince is in good spirits, but his illness is not light." Bai Lu stretched out an arm and let the queen's hand rest on it: "I heard that the Lang Chinese medicine that the prince found for him is very good, but he can only be cured for five points, and he is a waste person after all." ”

"If he had kept to himself, he would never have come to this." The queen said, "How is Chen Fu's matter?" ”

"Qu Qing took someone to investigate this matter." Bai Lu said: "The slave didn't inquire, for fear of getting into trouble. ”

"It's okay, anyway, they don't have to be afraid, just check it out." The queen didn't bother to mention the people and things related to the three princes.

At this time, autumn is overcast, and it seems that it is going to rain again.

Somewhere in the palace, the cold autumn wind whined the window paper.

Because the doors and windows were closed, the room was extremely dark.

"Master, it's cloudy, let's light the lamp!" A eunuch cautiously asked.

"No," the woman's voice was a little cold, "It's good, it's clearer when you think about things." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he put down the fire fold he had already picked up.

"Niangniang, Zhong Ye has now been sent to the sea to catch paperwork and has become a street rat." The eunuch took two steps forward and reported: "Wei Yining is much easier to start without him to protect him." ”

"What do you want to say?" The woman asked him.

"The slave wants to ask for instructions, right, will you do it to Wei Yining?" The eunuch groveled.

"Do you think it's necessary to do something to her at this time?" The woman sneered: "She is no longer in the palace, so she doesn't pose much of a threat to me." Even if there are still some old accounts between me and her, we might as well settle the general accounts together at the end. Tell you, don't be smart. If it spoils my great things, you will die without a place to bury! ”

"Minions don't dare, minions don't dare." The eunuch immediately begged for mercy: "Do whatever the master tells the slaves, and never dare to make it private." ”

"Idiot!" The woman scolded: "Have you been cleansed or have your brains cleaned?!" ”

"That Zhong Ye still can't find anyone, and I don't know where he is hiding." In order to find a step for himself, the eunuch brought the topic back to Zhong Ye.

"He'd better never show up," the woman laughed, "wouldn't it be better to have a ready-made scapegoat?" ”

"Niangniang is really clever, that Zhong Ye was originally a reckless man, and Niangniang only needs to use a little trick to turn his game around." The eunuch flattered: "This guy was too in the way before, but now he has removed this smelly and hard stone, who cares where he goes!" ”

"You're talking too much nonsense, and it's annoying." The woman said impatiently: "Hurry up and get out of here!" ”

The eunuch heard the anger in the woman's tone, and hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

"What a fool!" The woman was furious, and simply smashed the tea cup on the table on the ground: "One is more difficult to use than the other!" ”

When the teacup hit the ground, there happened to be thunder outside.

Then it rained, and the already yellowed leaves were mercilessly beaten to the ground by the rain, and it was a mess.
