Three days later, Wu Yue and Qingyuan's envoys entered Beijing as promised.

Youwei followed the little charm to climb high on the city tower and look into the distance.

Flags fluttered in the distance, and behind the two of them were countless palace people.

Xiao Fu Hou spoke: "I heard that the princess invited Prince Wen of Linglong Mountain to greet the emperor's royal car on the official road." ”

Youwei nodded and said, "That's true. I'm worried that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to disadvantage the royal brother. Wen Gongzi is very skilled, and he can help the imperial brother. ”

Xiao Fu said: "Why don't you tell this palace about such a big thing?" If you hold the phoenix talisman of the main palace, you will definitely be able to travel faster along the way. ”

Youwei said: "What an important token is the phoenix talisman of the imperial sister-in-law? Things in this palace haven't settled down yet, maybe they will be used again. ”

Xiao Fu said: "That's right, let's work together to get through this level first." ”

With that, Xiao Fu reached out to Youwei, and Youwei grabbed her arm first.

The two sisters-in-law went all the way to the Chaoyuan Palace.

The envoy did not rest in the post house, but was welcomed all the way into the palace.

Empress Xiao Fu set up a banquet for them in the Chaoyuan Hall to catch the wind and wash the dust.

When all parties saw the salute, they all sat down.

After the two songs and dances, Xiao Fuhou raised his glass and said: "The emperor conquered Shu, and thanks to the good grass of Wu Yue and Qingyuan along the way, he was able to win." The palace hereby toasts all the envoys. ”

King Wu Yue earlier appointed Li Shufei's father, Li Yuan, as the deputy envoy of the mission, and followed the envoy, Prime Minister Bao Xiu, into the Great Zhou.

Everyone drank all the wine in the glass, and Li Yuan glanced at Bao Xiu.

Bao Xiu was silent.

Li Yuan then raised his glass and said, "Queen Mother, Weichen has a reluctant request." Today's banquet is so joyful, I wonder if I can invite the lady concubine to come out and meet Weichen? ”

Du Dingye, the deputy envoy of Qingyuan, Du Guifei's brother, also echoed: "Weichen may not have seen Guifei Niangniang for a long time, and he is very worried. If the queen can let the concubine come out to meet, Weichen is really grateful. ”

Unexpectedly, it came so quickly.

Xiao Fu looked sad and ordered a group of singers and dancers, along with the musicians of the orchestra and bamboo, to go down.

Li Yuandao: "The queen seems to have something unspeakable? Could it be that the lady concubine made a mistake and saw the blame on the mother? ”

Xiao Fu said: "No, no, no, Concubine Shu is the most kind person, and she gets along well with the sisters in the palace." The same is true for Du Guifei. It's just ......"

Youwei continued: "It's a pity that the two mothers have been killed by people, and their souls have returned to their hometown not long ago. Because the incident happened suddenly, and the emperor was not in the palace, he had not had time to mourn. ”

"What?" The wine glass in Li Yuan's hand fell, and the broken porcelain pieces splashed in an instant.

"What Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said is true?" Du Dingye also asked.

Xiao Fu nodded: "It is indeed as the eldest princess said." Although this palace is in charge of the phoenix seal, after all, he is young and has never experienced this. can only be kept secret, waiting for the emperor to return to Beijing to deal with it. ”

Du Dingye is a military general, and he has stood up at this moment, and he looks particularly powerful and tall among many civil servants.

"Who killed my sister? But there has to be an explanation! His eyes widened with rage, and his tone was rather unkind.

Qingyuan's envoy Chen Hong got up and motioned for Du Dingye to sit down: "Before the queen mother, she is rude." ”

Then he saluted the queen of Xiao Fu and said: "The queen is not strange, he is a rough person and does not know how to count etiquette." It's just that Concubine Niangniang was indeed a noble girl of the scholar clan when she was in Qingyuan, not a nameless folk woman. Now that such a big thing has happened, it is indeed necessary to give an explanation to the family. ”

Xiao Fu said: "Don't be impatient, the eldest princess already knows the truth of the matter, and she will definitely explain it to you." ”

Everyone looked at Youwei in unison.

Youwei got up and said, "Bring the evidence up." ”

Several internal supervisors worked together to carry up a giant double-sided embroidered screen.

On one side is the magpie Dengmei, and on the other side is the three friends of the year.

"Hmph, what kind of evidence is this?" Du Dingye said angrily.

Youwei smiled: "General Du is not in a hurry, there are priorities, Concubine Li died before Concubine Du Guiniang, so I will first explain who killed Concubine Li Shuniang." ”

Then he turned his head to Li Yuan and said, "Lord Li, as the father of Concubine Shu, you must know her preferences and habits. Look at this screen, but what does she like every day? ”

Li Yuan got up and left the table, took a closer look at the huge screen, and said: "If you go back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the lady concubine is more civilized when she is in the boudoir, and her favorite flowers are also hibiscus and begonias. However, maybe she married the Great Zhou Tianzi and was infected with some of Kong Wu's power. ”

Youwei said: "There is Lord Lao Li, Lord Li, please sit down for a while." When I saw this screen in the lady's room, I thought it wasn't right, but I never thought about what was wrong. It wasn't until the past two days that I just figured it out. Concubine Niangniang grew up in Wuyue, and it is rare to see snow once in her life, and it is rare to see evergreen trees such as pines and cypresses. Because Wu Yue has always been humid and hot, most of the Chinese people planted some dwarf shrubs. Although Da Zhou is closer to the north than Wu Yue, it does not feel too cold in winter, and it is even more difficult to snow. However, the screen was embroidered with heavy snow on both sides. And it is placed in the center of the room, and it must be Li Shufei's favorite object every day. ”

Li Yuandao: "This, what does this mean?" ”

Youwei said: "It shows that Concubine Li Shu, who is very likely to marry the imperial brother, is not the real Concubine Li Shufei, and she is not your daughter, Lord Li." ”

"What?" Li Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Youwei continued: "So two days ago, I immediately entered the palace and asked the imperial sister-in-law to arrest Concubine Li's two personal maids. ”

Youwei said to the inner supervisor behind her, "Take the two of them with you." ”

After a short time, the inner supervisors brought up Concubine Li's maids Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qi.

"Lord Li, please take a closer look, are these two people who have served by the side of Concubine Shu since childhood?" Youwei pointed to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qi and asked.

Li Yuan is not too old, and he is not old and dizzy, so he glanced at it and said, "No, no!" It's a bit similar, but it's not from my house. ”

Youwei nodded and said: "This palace guesses, the real Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qi, together with Concubine Li Shu, have already been dropped, and now it is the Khitan fine work who is kneeling in front of us!" Only the Khitans who grew up in the bitter cold land will have a different kind of affection for snow, and they will be accustomed to seeing pines and cypresses, and they can be lifelike when embroidering. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they didn't expect that there were Khitans who had mixed into the palace.

"Where did you hide my daughter? Say it! Li Yuan rushed towards the fake Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qi in a menacing manner.

Xiao Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Lord Li's daughter should have died in a mountain col before she reached Bianjing. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he mourned in his heart and almost fell on his back.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help him and helped him to his seat to rest.

Youwei said: "The Great Liao in the north, that is, the Khitans, heard that Wu Yue was going to send the beauty into Bianjing, so he sent people to intercept him on the way early, and took advantage of the opportunity for the female dependents to relieve themselves in the remote place, and secretly attacked them. Poor real lady Niangniang, Xiao Qi and Xiao Yuan have already sunk in the ditch. ”

Bao Xiu, the prime minister of Wu Yueguo, said at this time: "Are they trying to conspire against the emperor of the Great Zhou? ”

Youwei said: "At first, they must have had such thoughts, but it's a pity that the imperial brother is busy with court politics and often fights abroad, so they didn't find a good time." So he changed his mind and wanted to find an opportunity to provoke the relationship between Da Zhou, Wu Yue and Qing Yuan. ”

"What a vicious heart!" Xiao Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Youwei said: "The fake Concubine Li Shufei was hung in the sky, it seems that she was killed by someone, but in fact, she committed suicide." The purpose of committing suicide and pretending to be him killed was to let Concubine Li Shu be killed in the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and provoke the Great Zhou and Wu Yue to quarrel. As for why it looks like a secret room killing, it is to guide us to discover the secret passage in the room, and then stir up Qingyuan as well. ”
