Chapter 45: Arrest
Thinking of this, Concubine Qin immediately wrote out the methods of how to crack those formations and traps in the cold palace, and then put the written letter on the table with the jade pendant, and then she left the room and waited for Qin Lingjue's people to come and pick it up.
Soon after she left, the henchman returned, and when he saw a brand new letter on Concubine Qin's table, he was overjoyed, and immediately picked it up and put it in his bosom, and then hurried out of the palace.
After receiving the letter handed over by his henchman, Qin Lingjue read it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, he really didn't find the wrong person, and said, "You bring someone later, and then go to the cold palace to get the edict for me according to the method written above." ”
"Yes." The henchman was ordered to leave.
This time it went very well, and the henchmen quickly took the edict of the former emperor.
Qin Ling was very satisfied, but it was getting late now, and he still had many ministers who had not been wooed, so he was not in a hurry to force the palace for the time being.
On the other side, Shen Ruogu didn't take Shi Yao away when he saw Jiang Feng, but left her there, after all, Qin Lingjue said that the capital would soon be in chaos, and she would definitely be implicated there.
So Shen Ruogu left with Xiaoping, but after returning to her room, she saw a letter on her desk, and when she opened it, she found that it was written to her by Qin Lingjue.
Shen Ruogu read it casually, and found that what was written on it was still nonsense persuading her to leave the palace quickly, and only named his current address at the end of the letter, and asked her to go there to find him if she had something.
After writing down the address, Shen Ruogu then lit a fire and burned the letter, leaving no trace.
The day passed quickly.
The next day, Qin Lingxiao finally came to his senses, but the moment he opened his eyes, his expression became vigilant, for fear that he would encounter something he didn't want to see, but after finding out that he was now in his dormitory, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, are you so scared?" Liu Yanran, as Qin Lingxiao's favorite concubine now, naturally couldn't leave, so since Qin Lingxiao fainted yesterday, she stayed here to take care of him for a night, at least others thought so.
Hearing the sudden sound, Qin Lingxiao was almost startled again, but soon he remembered that it was Liu Yanran's voice, and his expression quickly relaxed.
"Aifei, why are you here?"
Hearing this, Liu Yanran said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the concubine took care of you for one night, why did you say the concubine is here?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he had been in a coma all night?
Thinking of this, Qin Lingxiao's expression suddenly became gloomy, and at this time, he finally realized that something was wrong with what happened yesterday, the voice that sounded in his ears was clearly a method of transmitting sound into the secret, it was obviously artificial, and he was deceived!
Thinking of this, Qin Lingxiao's heart boiled with anger, "Come on, prepare for the car, go to the cold palace!" ”
Seeing that Qin Lingxiao was going to go to the cold palace again as soon as he woke up, Liu Yanran was a little surprised, hadn't she been scared enough yesterday?
"Your Majesty, do you still want to go to the cold palace?"
Qin Lingxiao couldn't tell the fact that he had been deceived, so he said, "Well, I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be afraid of those things?" ”
Liu Yanran: "......"
So who was the person who was scared out yesterday?
Qin Lingxiao insisted on going, and Liu Yanran couldn't stop it, so she could only find a way to let people hurry up and inform Shen Ruogu, after all, she also knew what Shen Ruogu did yesterday.
On the other side, Shen Ruogu quickly received the news from Liu Yanran, but she didn't care, because yesterday Qin Lingjue wrote in the letter to her that he had sent someone to the cold palace to get the edict, and now Qin Lingxiao went for nothing.
After Qin Lingxiao arrived at the side of the Cold Palace, this time he did not stay outside, but went in with those guards, but because Qin Lingjue's people had already broken those formations and traps in the Cold Palace yesterday, they did not encounter any obstacles to enter this time.
Soon, they searched the entire cold palace, and the ground was about to be overturned, but they found nothing.
Seeing Qin Lingxiao's gloomy expression, someone cautiously said, "Could it be that someone else took it away?" ”
The guards who spoke were one of the people who entered the cold palace yesterday, and they were trapped in the formation as soon as they entered yesterday, but today there was nothing going on, which was obviously abnormal.
Hearing this, Qin Lingxiao's face became even more ugly, what happened yesterday had already been asked clearly after he woke up, so what the guard thought of, he also thought of.
Just one night...... Actually someone took the lead? Without thinking about it, he could also guess who did it - Qin Lingjue!
Thinking of this, Qin Lingxiao left the cold palace with a black face, and when he returned to his dormitory, he immediately smashed everything in the room in a rage.
At this time, Liu Yanran had already returned to her palace, and without her persuasion here, the other palace maids and eunuchs didn't dare to move at all, so they could only wait for Qin Lingxiao to finish his anger with trembling.
"Call Shen Ruohan to me!"
After venting, Qin Lingxiao's anger dropped a lot, and he instructed the henchman eunuch outside the door.
After a while, after receiving Qin Lingxiao's will, Shen Ruohan came over, and seeing the other party's ugly face, he suddenly realized that something might be wrong today, "Have you checked the ones I asked you to check?" ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruohan paused for a moment, and then remembered that Qin Lingxiao had indeed arranged for him to investigate those ministers who had colluded with Qin Lingjue a few days ago.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen already has some eyebrows."
He couldn't find Princess Shi Yao, it was no problem to check these, and at that moment he handed over to Qin Lingxiao the list of ministers he found who might collude with Qin Lingjue.
After reading those lists, Qin Lingxiao immediately instructed Shen Ruohan: "All these people will be imprisoned in Dali Temple!" ”
After receiving Qin Lingxiao's order, Shen Ruohan immediately responded, then took the Praetorian Guard token that Qin Lingxiao gave him, and took the Praetorian Guards to find them one by one according to the list.
Because Shen Ruohan's momentum was too huge, Qin Lingjue quickly received the news, but he was not worried, because the list that Shen Ruohan collected was still revealed to him by him, and there were no people on the list, all of them were those who were on the wall and the six princes.
Just let Shen Ruohan help him solve all those unstable factors, and it will be much more convenient for him to force the palace when the time comes.
On the other hand, after receiving the news, the six princes immediately went to stop him in person, but Shen Ruohan did not listen to his explanation, and directly arrested him, even if there was an innocent person, he did not let go, and adhered to the concept that he would rather kill by mistake than let go of a person.
