Chapter 290: Murder

Lin Zuiliu came to the inner room, originally for the queen mother to check her body, but now just a few minutes after the queen mother came to look for him, he thought something was wrong, and hurriedly threw off the person behind him and ran over.

"What are you doing so quickly? But is there anything wrong with the queen's body? He looked really anxious, and the queen laughed twice when she saw it, and said softly: "What is the emperor in a hurry?" I haven't started checking yet. ”

Hearing this, he felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't feel at ease, frowned at Lin Zuiliu, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Thinking that if the emperor was here, the queen mother would be able to settle down, Lin Zuiliu took a deep breath, looked at Qi Jingheng fixedly, and said: "The incense used by the queen mother is different, and the concubine guesses that there seems to be musk in it." ”

When the emperor was young, he was also immersed in the harem for many years, although the emperor's harem was not very chaotic, but it was not completely peaceful back then, after all, three women in one play, this is not a joke.

Therefore, when Qi Jingheng and the queen mother heard the word musk, they were almost shocked, and the queen mother was even more frightened and took two steps back, but fortunately, the emperor was quick to help her in time.

However, his face was not very good, his brows were furrowed, and he glared at Lin Zuiliu and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the concubine knew that the incense used by the queen mother was sandalwood, but when she came in with the queen mother, the concubine felt that this box was not used on weekdays, and after asking, I heard the queen mother say that it was rewarded by the emperor."

"Yes, this is the golden phoenix incense that came up from the foreign countries before, and I gave it to her when I saw that the queen liked it, is there any problem?"

"The things rewarded by the emperor are naturally no problem, but in this palace, anything can happen, and this fragrance may be replaced when it arrives in the queen's palace."

Saying that, Lin Zuiliu saluted the emperor and the queen's mother, and said very seriously: "Please ask the emperor to find out in time!" ”

"Princess Zhennan, is what you said true? You have to know the consequences of rumors. Qi Jingheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze shot at Lin Zuiliu very sharply. It's not that he doesn't believe that Lin Zuiliu asked like this.

After all, since this matter is related to the queen mother and the little prince in the belly, there are more and more things involved, and he must ask clearly, so that if the matter is true, he can continue to investigate.

Hearing him ask, Lin Zuiliu nodded very firmly, and said very firmly: "The concubine is very determined, please ask the emperor to investigate quickly, don't delay the opportunity." ”

"Come on, throw this incense burner out for me." Qi Jingheng's face suddenly turned hideous, and he suddenly opened his mouth and roared, and then said, "Who is the person who manages the spices in Kunning Palace?" Get me this guy. ”

His voice was so majestic that no one dared to touch it when the Son of Heaven was angry, so all the people who listened to his command hurried to do their own thing.

Although the queen was afraid in her heart, she was a person who took care of the overall situation after all, so she took the emperor's hand tremblingly and said softly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting in Qinghe Palace, you better go over first." ”

"Bastard! My wife and son have suffered such a thing, how can I go and talk and laugh with others now? His face was full of murder, and there was no doubt that if he could really catch the mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely kill the bad guys as soon as possible.

"Please calm down a little bit." Lin Zuiliu also spoke: "Today's matter, there is something strange, it is not appropriate to make a big deal about it, the emperor should detain people for the time being, and go to Qinghe Palace for a banquet first." ”

At this time, the palace is full of palace nobles and court ministers, once the matter is big, I am afraid that the whole capital will know, and the people who know about this matter should be less than not, after all, it is an internal contradiction of the royal family, and it is not good for outsiders to know about this kind of family ugliness.

If it's not a family ugly, then it also has a personal relationship with these people outside, and since it is related, it can't be easily startled.

All in all, it is not suitable to solve this problem immediately, the emperor cares about it, but she can't let Qi Jingheng be so foolish.

Hearing Lin Zuiliu's words, Qi Jingheng seemed to have become a little calmer, he lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "Then according to what you said, I will go to the banquet first, and then solve this matter after the banquet is over." With that, he strode away.

The queen mother has been holding on in front of the emperor, and now when she saw him leave, her legs finally weakened, and she sat on the couch, and her whole little face like a flower and jade became white, and she looked very pitiful.

Lin Zuiliu couldn't bear it, walked up and stroked her back, and whispered comfortingly: "The queen doesn't have to be afraid, pay more attention in the future, with the emperor on guard, there will probably be no other incidents." ”

"I wish so." She shuddered, "I thought I was doing a good job, and I paid attention to my food on weekdays, but I didn't expect someone to harm me in this regard, and I almost lost my first child." ”

Thinking about it, the queen also attaches great importance to this child, and now that this kind of thing has happened, she probably feels uncomfortable, but fortunately, the child is saved, and Lin Zuiliu can be regarded as a great achievement.

"Let's go to the banquet too."

Hearing her say this, Lin Zuiliu remembered that she had come today to look at the body of the queen, but so many things had happened at this time, and she hadn't started to watch it yet.

"Let's let the concubine take a look at your body first, this incense can be regarded as inhaling for a while, but the amount is not large, otherwise someone who understands incense like the queen mother should have been able to discover the strangeness early."

Thanks to the queen's mother, who knows the inner way, the mastermind behind the scenes didn't dare to be too blatant, thinking, Lin Zuiliu took the pulse for her.

"Your pulse is really not stable, but there is no sign of slippery tires, and it doesn't take long to think that incense, and it's okay to stop now."

Hearing Lin Zuiliu say this, the queen's face softened a little, she stretched out her hand to stroke her stomach, her eyes fluttering, I don't know where to put it.

"I must protect this child, he is the first eldest son of the Northern Ring Kingdom, and the first eldest son of the emperor, if it is...... I couldn't escape the blame. ”

She was probably under too much psychological pressure, and her whole body slowly trembled, Lin Zuiliu couldn't, so she had to continue to coax her in a low voice.

In this compartment, the emperor, who had left the bedroom, strode to the Xinuan Pavilion, and called Liao Luan, who was drinking tea and tea in the Xinuan Pavilion, to go to Qinghe Palace.

The expression on his face was very uneasy, Liao Luan's mind was clear, and he knew almost instantly, probably because something happened to the queen's mother.

But after all, it is the emperor's family affairs, he is also a foreign man in the end, and he is also the emperor's courtier, there is no reason to take care of his family affairs, first, he is not curious, and second, even if he is curious, after returning to the palace, ask Lin Zuiliu.

There's really no need to touch the emperor's mold now.

Na Cheng thought about the beauty in his heart, and he didn't open his mouth to ask, but the emperor hurried to tell him.

The big eunuch who followed Qi Jingheng was his confidant, and he was used to being a person who didn't like to put on a show, so there was no one else around. , and speak unscrupulously.

“…… What's going on, you say? I can't control my harem, it's really infuriating, if I catch the person behind the scenes, I will definitely put her in prison and behead her one day. ”

This should be angry words, few people in the emperor's harem are executed in prison, almost all of them are executed in the cold palace, but he is in a bad mood at this moment, and Liao Luan doesn't want to mess with him.

After all, if he doesn't do his own thing, he can do it well, just let him complain.

"It's just that the minister wants to admonish the emperor, but now it's an eventful time, and there are so many princes and ministers in the palace, the emperor still has to control his complexion."

Liao Luan was not afraid of offending Qi Jingheng at all, Qi Jingheng saw him like this, and slowly lost the interest in complaining to him, pouted, walked forward for a while, and saw a person in an official uniform walking towards him.

This man bowed when he saw him from afar, and looked very respectful and obedient, and none of the two people who knew who he really was, but none of them felt that he was respectful.

This person is the emperor's confidant and courtier, Gao Yanzhi.

This person is from a champion background, bold and careful, smart and witty, quite appreciated by the emperor, and it is rare not to flatter.

In the last time Prince Yu forced the palace, he tried his best to protect the emperor, and now is a good time to rise step by step.

Therefore, when he saw him, the emperor, who was originally in a bad mood, also looked a little better, he nodded at Gao Yanzhi, and said softly: "Hurry up, why are you so late?" ”

Originally, Liao Luan didn't come early, but then there was the incident that happened in Kunning Palace, and he was very late now.

Hearing Qi Jingheng ask, he didn't seem nervous at all, and saluted him very respectfully, "Back to the emperor, the minister arrived early in the morning, but he never stepped forward to visit, and it was normal that the emperor didn't see it." ”

Well, I don't know why, the courtiers came early this morning, and he barely woke up at the time, and almost made a joke.

Thinking of this, he was even more angry, obviously said that he didn't need to come too early, this group of people are all quite good at coming to things, and they only know that it makes people upset.

But you can annoy anyone, and you can't bother Gao Yanzhi.
