What is the explanation? Why should I be the one who collects the net? I tore the letter in my hand to shreds, as if unwilling and desperate to shout at the back mountain.

No wonder the Queen Mother suddenly became seriously ill, no wonder the empty forest would go out of the mountain and enter the palace, no wonder Concubine Shu would have a miscarriage...... It turns out that you have designed it early on, Li Yu is filial piety, as long as the queen's death time collides with the queen mother in the end, you can easily avoid Li Yu's golden cicada shell. One ring after another, not only avenged Zhong Xuan's revenge, but also fulfilled the dream of freedom, my sister really had a good means.

It took a while for me to put away my emotions and walk to the mourning hall, and when I arrived, Zhong Yu was in a stalemate with Liuli to open the coffin to see his mother for the last time. Liuli said that this is the queen's last wish, and she doesn't want anyone to see what she looks like after she dies, I glanced at the tablet, is it unwilling or afraid......

"Zhongyu, come here." I beckoned to Zhongyu.

Zhongyu didn't answer immediately, he glanced at me, then at the mourning hall, and after a moment of confusion, he still walked towards me.

"Does Zhongyu miss your imperial mother?" I asked softly as I hugged Zhongyu in my arms.

"Hmm." Zhong Yu nodded in my arms.

"Min Niangniang also misses your imperial mother, but your imperial mother is gone." As I said this, I could clearly feel the sobbing in my arms. "She, like Min Niangniang, loves beauty when she is a child, and now that she is gone, she naturally doesn't want to be seen by others as lifeless, even if this other person is you. Can Zhongyu understand what Min Niangniang said? ”

"Zhongyu understands." After coming over for a long time, Zhong Yu replied to me as if he had made up his mind.

"Good boy, your imperial mother will be very happy to see Zhongyu's sensible appearance."

Since then, Zhongyu has never asked to see his imperial mother. I also opened the coffin in the middle of the night without telling everyone, and it turned out that as Kong Lin said, the coffin was indeed a dummy.

At the end of the mourning period, the palace came to the holy decree, and I was fully responsible for all the funeral operations of Queen Zhou. On the same day, the coffin of the Queen Mother was sent out of the south gate, and the Shunling of the former emperor Li Jing was buried, and she was called Empress Guangmu.

The death of the queen and the queen mother plunged the entire palace into a sad tide, and Li Yu hid in the palace every day to drink and sing poems, causing chaos in the previous dynasty, and the various pieces of music were piled up.

I persuaded Li Yu several times to no avail, so I simply took Zhongyu to my palace to teach, and also united with Zhang Xun, a staff member of Li Yu when he was the prince, and several other important ministers of the court took Zhongyu to deal with state affairs every day and review the chapters. Although Nantang was already suffering from internal and external troubles at this time, I still had time, isn't this the best result?

I also privately arranged for Li Xiaoxiao to go to Konglin, but I found nothing, he seemed to have suddenly evaporated in this world, as for Shangwen, Shangshu Mansion had already lost this son, how could he care where he was.

Fortunately, Zhong Yu is smart, and he has many more talents than Li Yu in governing the country and training military affairs, and we began to slowly put our hopes on Zhong Yu, and Li Yu began his days as an emperor of Qingxian.

In the spring of 966 AD, the marriage date of the marriage between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty was approaching, and Li Yu wanted to end this marriage in the name of Dai Xiao, but I persuaded him, because I knew that this marriage was related to the life and death of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and in the days to come, the Southern Tang Dynasty needed such a strong backer as the Song State.

At the beginning of January, the envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty set off with Princess Yulian to the south, if there is no accident, they will enter the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty in mid-January......

On the 10th of January, Xiao Qin, the leader of the guards who went to greet Princess Yu Lian, suddenly returned to the palace secretly, and I was playing chess with Li Yu in the palace when the guards reported.

"What did you say?" Hearing Xiao Qin's report, the chess pieces in my hand suddenly fell, and they were crisp and loud in the floor.

"Princess Yu Lian is missing, and the envoys of the Song State have no ...... alive," Xiao Qin said what he had just said again.

"Why is this happening?" I stood up with my body bold, is it really God who wants to kill my Song Kingdom?

"The subordinates have sent people to find it secretly, but this matter is not trivial, and the subordinates did not dare to make decisions on their own, so they secretly returned to the palace to report to the emperor."

I turned my head and glanced at Li Yu, he was indifferently continuing to think about the next chess game, this marriage was not what he wanted, so it was in harmony with him, but how could I know the importance of Princess Yu Lian to my Nantang. That's it, I turned around and didn't care about Li Yu anymore.

"Please also ask Commander Xiao to tell me the whole thing in detail." In any case, Princess Yu Lian must not have an accident in Nantang, otherwise we estimate that we won't even be able to survive this year.

"Yes." Xiao Qin began to recall. "The army led by his subordinates is the princess who picked up at the border of the Tang Kingdom, and there is nothing wrong with it on the way back to the post station from the meeting, the only strange thing is that there is no maid who is waiting for this princess."

"You said the princess didn't bring a maid?" Logically speaking, this is impossible to happen, since ancient times, I have never heard of a princess who does not marry a maid.

"Yes."

"Have you ever seen a princess?"

"The subordinates don't dare, the princess was in the carriage the whole time, and the subordinates haven't seen it."

"Where's the station?"

"After arriving at the post station, the princess went back to the room directly, and all the meals were served by the envoys of the Song State themselves, and we didn't have a chance to get close."

"Where did the princess disappear?"

"At the post station, after arranging the princess and the envoys to the post station at the end of the day, he led his army to wait outside, and the rest was also rotated, and there was nothing wrong with it, but ......" When he said this, Xiao Qin paused obviously, as if he was recalling something he didn't want to recall. But the next morning, when the subordinates were about to send breakfast to the princess, they found that the post station was full of blood, and I shouted a few times outside but no one answered, so I led people to rush in, and the first thing I saw was the corpse guarding the door in the courtyard, and the envoys from the Song Kingdom were all ......in the corpse room."

"Where's Princess Yu Lian?"

"My subordinates went to Princess Yulian's room as soon as possible, but there was no one inside, and then I sent people to look around, and there has been no news until now."

"How did those envoys die?"

"A sword seals the throat, and the knife is deadly. The murderer was able to kill more than 20 lives without knowing it, and then retreated with the princess with his whole body, which is probably something that few people in the entire Tang Kingdom can do. When Xiao Qin said this, his eyes were full of worry.

"Could it be that there was no such person as Princess Yu Lian from the beginning?" After listening to Xiao Qin's words, I whispered my thoughts.

"What do you mean?"

"After all, none of you have really seen Princess Yu Lian, so how can you be sure that the person who entered the post station with you is Yu Lian?" I looked at Xiao Qin, who was still thinking, and directly said my doubts.

This matter seems to be flawless, but it is full of irrationality from the beginning, and the Song envoy was suddenly assassinated as soon as he arrived in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't it enough to make people suspicious?
