Chapter Seventy-One: The Empress Orders a Thorough Investigation of the Qinglou

"The Mother Emperor is wise!" Li Qingqing's heart bloomed.

The grass people were also happy, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times in a row, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Don't dare to be! The empress thought to herself, and looked at Li Qingqing, who was kneeling, and always felt that she seemed to have fallen into some trap, but she couldn't figure it out for the time being.

That's it, the empress shook her hand and motioned to Gonggong Zhou to get the pen and ink holy decree.

Father-in-law Zhou was ordered to do it.

The empress immediately wrote a holy decree and threw it in front of Li Qingqing, Li Qingqing felt a gust of wind fall in front of her, and then a golden holy decree fell in front of her.

The empress put away her pen and ink, stood up, and changed the topic, "The banquet is not over yet, and it is inevitable that I will be cold after coming out for a long time." I'm going to go over first, as for you, whatever you want! ”

Li Qingqing was overjoyed, "The mother emperor is wise, wise, wise!" ”

The empress was amused by her sycophancy, and laughed out loud, and then covered her mouth with her hand.

Gonggong Zhou and Li Qingqing were stunned at the same time, but then both of them put away their emotions.

Gonggong Zhou respectfully helped the empress out of the propaganda room, Li Qingqing picked up the holy decree and looked at it, the holy decree was given to the female court lieutenant, and the mother emperor allowed her not to enter the banquet, this is to ask her to declare the decree herself.

Li Qingqing put away the holy decree, rubbed his knees, and prepared to stand up.

A plain white slender hand appeared in front of him, Li Qingqing looked up, and Gongsun Fu Junzi, dressed as a eunuch, stood in front of him.

Li Qingqing's heart warmed, he stretched out his hand, covered his big palm, and let him help himself up, at this time, he no longer felt how funny Gongsun Fu's eunuch dress was.

The other grass people were stunned, why did they see a bit of ambiguity from the five princesses and the eunuchs, could this be the reason why the five princesses have not been married in their twenties?

Don't talk nonsense! Another grass farmer snorted, do you want to seek justice, if you want it, shut up!

I didn't speak! The grass people were not convinced.

The grass man glared at him, and his eyes were blasphemous!

The grass man: "......"

After Li Qingqing left the Xuan Room with the holy decree, these grass people followed her closely and went to the yamen of the Tingwei Mansion together.

Zhong Chuyue, the female court lieutenant, received the holy decree overnight, and rushed to the Qingfang building overnight to investigate.

The Qinglou was exceptionally quiet tonight, when Zhong Chuyue arrived, there was not a single light in the building, and there was no one in the building, and it seemed to be an empty building.

Zhong Chuyue realized that it was likely that someone went to the empty building, so she didn't bother to knock on the door, and ordered someone to smash the door open overnight.

The passers-by on Chang'an Street and the diners at the Ash Eater Inn saw such a large group of officials gathered at the gate of the Qinglou, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.

After a while, the door was smashed open, and a few small servants lit the candles on the wall, and the light flickered, illuminating the corners of the building. At this time, the onlookers were stunned.

"Everything is in there, but not a single one!"

Zhong Chuyue naturally knew that this showed that people were in a hurry, and they didn't have time to bring a lot of things, which was just right, and the scene was kept as much as possible to facilitate her investigation.

Zhong Chuyueyu raised her hand and ordered, "Fence the entire Qinglou for me, and not a single fly is allowed to enter!" ”

"Yes!" The officials spread out along the green building and surrounded it.

Zhong Chuyue entered the Qinglou to investigate carefully.

……

"Is it really done?" At the state banquet, the queen lady asked the palace maid behind her again with no peace of mind.

The palace maid patiently replied again, "Properly! ”

The Empress frowned, her eyes staring at the empty spot opposite.

Beside her, the third princess couldn't help but raise her head, looked at the vacant position, and wondered where Li Qingqing went.

Behind her, the personal palace maid stepped forward, and whispered in her ear under the pretext of pouring wine, "The slave maid has already inquired." When Her Majesty left the table before, the five princesses followed her footsteps and left together.

When His Majesty came again, she would be gone. ”

"Did she tell Your Majesty anything?"

The palace maid shook her head, "This slave can't inquire." ”

The three princesses frowned, and the action of lifting a glass of wine suddenly paused, and a feeling of uneasiness came faintly, but because she couldn't understand it and was confused, she simply stopped drinking, put down her glass and picked peanuts and beans to eat.

The night was unpredictable

In a certain wood, the man in black drove a fast horse through the forest, and went outside, he carried a package on his back, and put something in it, and held a long whip in his hand, and the whip whipped the horse's back very frequently, and he looked very anxious and in a hurry.

In this room, inside the Qinglou, Zhong Chuyue found some clues.

The room of the old bustard in the green building has a secret room, and inside the secret room, the golden wall is brilliant. Zhong Chuyue saw the four golden walls, and she was really stunned, but how many people have to force Liang to become prostitutes to earn so much silver!

Suddenly, the whistling cat on her shoulder smelled something, and she scurried under the bed and pushed a pot of burnt ashes over with her fat figure.

Zhong Chuyue's nose didn't have it, but when she lowered her head and sniffed it at the moment, she could also smell some smells, not burnt smells, it was a strange smell, she couldn't say it for the time being.

Zhong Chuyue reached out to probe the ashes, and dug out a few pieces of paper in the ash in the middle that had not had time to be burned clean, and a few words were revealed on them.

“…… Ikeyamaso"

The other paper reads "...... Eighty thousand taels"

The rest of the paper is also a string of numbers with no beginning and no end

Zhong Chuyue touched these pieces of waste paper and looked at them again and again, the only valuable thing was what kind of pool villa, what kind of pool was it?

"Come on, go and find out what are the villas with the word pond in the entire Great Qi Kingdom!"

"Yes!" The men immediately went to do it.

Inside a mountain villa

The man in black suddenly flew down, bypassed the guards on duty in the villa in a familiar way, turned into the Zhuangzi, unwrapped the package on his body, buried the contents behind a rockery, and then jumped up with a familiar car, jumped out of the Zhuangzi, re-mounted the horse, and hurried back.

Inside the Qinglou, Zhong Chuyue had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the mountain villa, "Tianchi Mountain Villa!" The mountain villa with a natural hot spring, that is the Zhuangzi of the Three Princesses, is it possible that behind this green building is the power of the Three Princesses? ”

Zhong Chuyue was startled, although she knew that there was someone behind the old bustard, she always thought it was the imperial princess, but she didn't expect it to be the third imperial daughter. Whoever it is, check it out.

Zhong Chuyue immediately ordered people to prepare horses and go to Tianchi Villa.

Inside the palace of King Qingge

The people sent by Li Qingqing came to report, "Your Highness, my subordinates have found out that Tingwei has gone out of the city with a group of officials. But where it went, it is unknown. ”

Li Qingqing, who was drinking with Gongsun Fu, looked at Gongsun Fu with a blank face and asked, "What is she doing when she goes out of the city, obviously the imperial princess is in front of her, what do you want to find out outside the city?" ”

Gongsun Fu was also at a loss, "This is no longer within my control." But the old bustard is in the city, under my sight. As long as there is no problem on the bustard's side, the truth will come out as planned. ”

"Good!" Li Qingqing believed in Gongsun Fu's layout arrangement, so he didn't dwell on it anymore, but retreated and continued to explore.
