Chapter Forty-Eight: The Palace

After returning to Liu's house, while Qingyue was washing, this cat walked out.

I don't know if Li Xuan has been here today? This cat plans to make a mark at the place where they met and inform that Nashiko can't come out to look for him in the next few days.

When he went out the back door, he saw that the carriage was still parked there, and Ben was very surprised and jumped on it.

"Huh?" The cat looked at Li Xuan sleeping in the carriage in surprise.

"Hey!" Ben stomped his paws on his face and shouted, "Get up! ”

Li Xuan struggled to open one eye, and when he saw the cat, he suddenly came to his senses and sat up.

"You... Are you out? What time is it? Is it time for lunch? Li Xuan said in a trance.

"You've been waiting a day?" Ben asked in surprise.

"One day?" Li Xuan opened the curtain suspiciously, looked outside, and exclaimed, "It's night?" I accidentally fell asleep and fell asleep for an unknown time, hahahahaha. ”

"Are you stupid? By the way, I have something to do these days and can't come out. ”

"Oh? What's up? Need help? Li Xuan asked with concern.

"No, you don't." Ben Mao thought for a while and asked, "The lady who instructed Du Zijian of Honglu Temple to leak the secrets of our dynasty can be found?" ”

"Someone has been arranged to investigate, but there is no news yet. What's wrong? Do you have any speculations? Li Xuan asked.

"Could it be Empress Zheng?" Ben Cat whispered.

"Empress Zheng? Unlikely, right? Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "Empress Zheng's son is the future monarch, why did she sell her son's kingdom?" ”

"What you say makes sense, so who do you think?" Ben couldn't help but wonder.

This Empress Zheng may have befriended important ministers of the court, may have harmed Yan'er, and may have installed her own people everywhere, but there is really no reason to betray the country.

"I went back yesterday and specifically learned from my mother, and now the only people in the palace who can talk are the Queen Mother, the two queens, Concubine Liu Duan, Concubine Ming, Concubine Wu Shu, and the rest are not in the climate. If you can meddle in Honglu Temple, it should be among these people. Li Xuan said.

"And what about these people?"

"Empress Zheng is the mother of the current crown prince, her father is the late Zheng Yongnian, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, and she has an elder brother in the Ministry of Industry, although her family background is very ordinary, but she herself heard that she is a powerful figure; Empress Wu is the younger sister of Zhou Zifan, the governor of the Five Armies, but since the death of her son, she has basically not asked about the world; Concubine Liu Duanfei had a prince, her father was a businessman, and she had only one sister in the family, and her brother-in-law was Fang Wenjiang, the governor of Fuzhou. ”

"Fang Wenjiang?"

"You know him?"

"I've seen him, but I just know that he's a little stupid and arrogant." Ben Cat said.

No wonder Fang Wenjiang is so arrogant, or because there is a lady in the palace to support him.

"Some time ago, I heard that someone impeached him, and it was also said that he was too arrogant and domineering, and it seems that this is indeed the case." Li Xuan nodded and said.

"What about Concubine Ming and Concubine Wu Shu?"

"Concubine Ming, who was a show girl pushed by Zhang Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard that she was his niece, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a talented girl; Concubine Wu Shufei entered the palace when the current emperor was the crown prince, there is a prince and a princess, who is the daughter of Wu Qingfeng's Taishi, Wu Taishi died in the Restoration War that year, and can be regarded as the queen of the martyrs. Li Xuan said.

"Then ........." Ben Cat hesitated a little, "It doesn't look like anyone is suspicious." ”

"Yes, so we still need to investigate secretly, and this matter can't be rushed." Li Xuan said: "But this matter should not be known to Jinyi Wei Zhou to them. ”

"Okay, then you go ahead and investigate. We won't see each other alone these days. Ben Cat said that he was leaving.

"Wait a minute." Li Xuan shouted: "Then are you going to Jinyiwei with Qingyue these days?" ”

"You should go."

"Okay, I'll see you then!"

Ben Mao jumped out of the car and went back to Liu's house.

When he returned to the room, he saw that Qingyue had already laid down to rest, and the cat also fell asleep, still thinking about the matter of Empress Zheng, I don't know if he will suspect Qingyue, and I don't know what she wants to do.

The cat rolled over, very worried.

"Porridge." In the dark, Qingyue said, "Sleep." ”

"Meow."
