Chapter 469: Investigation 2

"Qingluan, Ziqing was here just now, do you have anything you can't say? Is it related to Su Yi? Nangong Qing has tried his best to restrain his emotions, but this has not happened since he met Su Yi, and he knows that Su Yi's personality has always been cautious and safe, so he is more and more worried.

Whether the explosion of the strange stone outside the sky has anything to do with Su Yi's disappearance, Luo Qingluan is not sure now. She just said what she felt suspicious first.

Now, she couldn't hide the fact that she was going to refine the long sword for Nalan Ye, and Luo Qingluan didn't expect it to be so twisted at first. Isn't it just to reforge a sword, it's a big deal to fail, it's a big deal to waste your efforts, but now it's exploded, she can't help but think about it too much.

Told me all about the recent things, from the beginning of Luo Qingluan to Su Yi, and then she readily agreed, and the next day the Marquis of Weiyang sent a strange stone from the sky. Hearing this, Nangong Qing nodded: "Yes, I also went to the Weiyang Marquis Mansion just now, and I heard what Su Yi's mother and Mrs. Wei Yanghou said, but they didn't know that the queen was missing, and I was afraid that they would worry, so I didn't say too much." ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "There is really nothing suspicious about this matter on the surface, and the only key thing now is that we must first find out what the queen mother did, or what she heard, and why she left the palace, which is the key." ”

"The queen usually never leaves the palace, and there must be a reason for her sudden disappearance."

Seeing Nangong Qing so worried, Luo Qingluan couldn't care about his hand injury, it wasn't serious anyway. The scary way Nalan bandaged her at night was actually just a little bit of skin, even if she didn't need to apply medicine. She suggested that the current plan was to go back to the Tassel Palace to have a look, and if she looked for it, she might find something.

There was an explosion in the Lin Wangfu, and it was impossible for Nangong Yu not to know, so he immediately rushed back and wanted to ask what was going on. Seeing Nangong Qingye, he knew that he was afraid that something big would happen, and when he asked, he knew that Queen Su Yi was missing, and he suddenly felt a little dignified.

At this time, Nangong Qing couldn't even excuse himself, and Nangong Yu immediately asked people to prepare a car and send Nangong Qing and Luo Qingluan back to the palace.

Since knowing that Queen Su Yi was missing, the entire Tassel Palace was banned, no one was allowed to approach, and no one in the Tassel Palace was allowed to go out, and someone was strictly ordered to leak the news.

When they saw Nangong Qing and Princess Chu coming back, with an unkind look, the palace maids and eunuchs of the Tassel Palace trembled one by one, and they didn't dare to come out. They are the ones who serve the queen's mother, and now instead of taking care of the mother, they have made the mother disappear, if His Majesty really blames them, they will definitely be dead.

Fortunately, Nangong Qing is not a murderous person, and now he just wants to find Su Yi, and he has no extra thoughts.

Zizhen, the personal palace maid who found Su Yi, asked, and the latter knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday Niangniang took Sister Lanyu out of the palace after Mrs. Su came. Niangniang also dismissed everyone at that time, and after Mrs. Su left, Niangniang also asked us not to tell Your Majesty about it, and then Niangniang was in a hurry to leave the palace. As for what Niangniang was doing out of the palace, Niangniang didn't say, and the slave didn't dare to ask more. ”

"What, Mrs. Su has been in the palace? Why didn't she say it? ”

Nangong Qing suddenly felt that there was a problem, and looked at Luo Qingluan's ao: "Before, I thought that the queen had returned to her parents' house, so I went to the Weiyang Hou Mansion to look for her, but Mrs. Wei Yanghou and her mother, Mrs. Su, did not say anything about it, let alone that they had entered the palace. And I don't know about the queen's disappearance, what is going on? ”

Frowning, Luo Qingluan seemed to notice something, and asked, "What happened to Mrs. Su, the mother of the queen mother at that time, entered the palace, can you guess?" ”

Zizhen shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, and she doesn't dare to eavesdrop on Niangniang's words." It's just that after Mrs. Su left, Niangniang became very anxious, and she was going to go to Your Majesty to tell her about the palace, but Your Majesty was busy dealing with government affairs at the time, and Niangniang could only come back. By the way, Princess Chu, before Niangniang left the palace, she was still the clothes that the slave maid changed for Niangniang, as if she heard Niangniang say that she was going to find Princess Chu, but the slave didn't hear it clearly. ”

"Niangniang left the palace to find me? How could it be, what was the matter with her? ”

Luo Qingluan has been going out early and returning late recently, as soon as Nalan Ye left, she also went out to Linwang Mansion with her, and she didn't rush back until Nalan Ye was about to go home. Sometimes it's late to go back, Nalan Ye has already gone home first, and she also makes excuses to say that she forgot the time to play, and Nalan Ye didn't say anything.

But she didn't expect that she would leave the Chu Wangfu on the front foot to go to the Lin Wangfu today, and Su Yi on the back foot would come to her. After thinking about it seriously, Luo Qingluan said: "Since this is the case, it is very likely that Niangniang did not find me, so she went to Linwang's Mansion, but what happened on the way, so I lost the news for the time being." ”

To be sure of this matter, Luo Qingluan only needed to send someone back to the Chu Palace's mansion to confirm whether Su Yi had come to look for her. The person sent to the palace of Chu came back soon, but said that the queen had not come, and if she came, she would definitely inform the princess, but also said that there was a girl who looked like a woman who came to find the princess, not the queen mother.

After the visitor roughly said the girl's appearance and accent, Zizhen immediately said: "Your Majesty, Princess Chu, this should be Sister Lanyu." ”

Nangong Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Sure enough, it seems that the queen really went to look for you, but why didn't she go to see you directly, but let the palace maid come forward first?" What exactly is the queen afraid of? ”

Even Luo Qingluan couldn't guess this.

According to her relationship with Su Yi, whether Su Yi sent someone to inform her to enter the palace, to talk about something, or she left the palace in person, there was no need to be so cautious. In this way, Su Yi is indeed scrupling about something when she is so careful, but now she can't guess, and she can't guess.

After going through all the clues he had got, Luo Qingluan felt that the most suspicious thing was that Mrs. Su entered the palace. It must have been something she said to Su Yi that Su Yi would come out to find her in a hurry, so it was obvious that what Mrs. Su told Su Yi must have something to do with Luo Qingluan herself.

Otherwise, there was no need for Su Yi to leave the palace immediately, and she was so careful.

"It seems that the only way to confront Mrs. Su is now." Luo Qingluan said his opinion again and reminded: "But Your Majesty, you said before that you had already gone to the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion, but Mrs. Su and Mrs. Weiyanghou didn't mention entering the palace at all, it is obvious that they are hiding something, and it is possible that this matter has something to do with me." ”

Nangong Qing also guessed that since Su Yi became the queen, he had never returned to his parents' house, and he also forgot because he was busy with government affairs. But what happened was vaguely like there was a line connecting Luo Qingluan, Su Yi and Mrs. Su, and this key was the strange stone outside the sky.

"I also think it's a bit ridiculous, it's just a stone, what's the problem." Nangong Qing thought about it, and decided to start with Su Yi's mother, Mrs. Su, even if she was Su Yi's biological mother, but it was related to Su Yi's safety and whereabouts, and he would definitely not tolerate it.

Immediately ordered to let Mrs. Su Yang enter the palace, but before Yang came, Nangong Yu brought the results of the explosion just now.

The cause of the explosion turned out to be that the refining furnace was mixed with sulfur and gunpowder, and the craftsmen of the Lin Wangfu investigated very carefully, and there was absolutely no mistake. Nangong Yu was taken aback, this kind of thing is absolutely far away from the fire source, how can it appear in the refining furnace?

No wonder there was such an amazing explosion and injured a few people, if it weren't for the fact that Luo Qingluan wanted to refine the Outer Heaven Strange Stone, a special furnace specially built, some distance from the forging workshop, I was afraid that the number of injured people would be even more.

"Therefore, now we suspect that these sulfur and gunpowder are actually contained in the strange stones outside the sky, otherwise it is impossible to explain why they appeared in the refining furnace." Nangong Yu's face was solemn, this matter was not a big deal, and it happened in his Lin Wang's mansion, and it was also about Luo Qingluan and Queen Su Yi, so he had to enter the palace immediately and explain the matter.

"No wonder there was sulfur and gunpowder...... I would smell a strange smell before the explosion, and it turned out to be like this. ”

But Luo Qingluan also didn't understand that things like sulfur and gunpowder would never appear in the strange stones outside the sky. Strange stones outside the sky are meteorites, and on the way down from the sky, they have already burned the surface before falling to the ground, and if there are such things as sulfur, then it can only be put in by people with hearts.

At that time, she was with Chen Si and Liu Mu, waiting for the strange stones outside the sky to melt, as for whether someone would still do something when sealing the furnace, Luo Qingluan didn't see it, and she couldn't be sure. She just felt that the Lin Wangfu was a group of craftsmen, and she had no grievances or hatreds, so there was no need to do such a thing.

Thinking about it, the only possibility is that there is a problem with the strange stone outside the sky, and someone has done it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, Nangong Qing sneered: "This thing was taken out of the Weiyang Marquis Mansion, what is going on, it will be clear when Mrs. Su comes and explains it well." ”

Even he felt that something was wrong, it was obviously a very simple thing, but he didn't expect to be implicated, he didn't believe that Mrs. Su would harm his daughter, so the only possibility was to frame Luo Qingluan. But there is no problem between the Marquis of Weiyang Mansion and the Chu Palace, and there is no hatred with Luo Qingluan, what happened to make it like this.

At this time, someone from the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Su, the mother of the queen mother, is here." ”

"Let her in." Nangong Qing was not angry at all.

At the beginning of going to the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion, he was polite because this was Su Yi's maiden home, and he didn't put on the majesty and arrogance of the emperor at all, and even regarded Su Yi's mother and grandmother as his elders. Unexpectedly, they deceived him, obviously secretly entered the palace to see Su Yi, but kept it a secret, isn't this a ghost in his heart?

A moment later, Yang came.

Seeing the emperor twice in a day in a row was unimaginable before. Even though she can be said to be half of the emperor's mother in terms of identity, the Yang family does not have the courage to be presumptuous in front of Nangong Qing. Thinking that the emperor had only gone to the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion in the morning, and that it didn't take long for her to summon her into the palace, the Yang family became more and more worried.

When she saw Luo Qingluan still sitting next to Nangong Qingqing, her already nervous heart almost jumped out, and she was stunned on the spot. It took a while to come to his senses, and he saluted tremblingly: "I've seen Your Majesty, but I don't know that Your Majesty summoned the courtiers into the palace, but Ah Yi's affairs have progressed?" ”

"Yang, how dare you deceive me?"

Nangong Qing directly took the medicine, and said with a cold expression: "I went to your Weiyang Marquis Mansion before, knowing that I was looking for the queen, why didn't you say that you entered the palace to see the queen yesterday?" What else are you hiding? ”

With such a cold voice, the frightened Yang family, who was already a ghost in his heart, knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty spares your life, the courtiers dare not deceive Your Majesty, and the courtiers are also confused for a while and forgot to tell Your Majesty." ”

"Forgot, you said you forgot?"

Nangong Qing expected that the Yang family was deliberately concealing, and said angrily: "The queen is your biological daughter, aren't you in a hurry when she disappears?" I asked you to tell all the clues, and you actually concealed the matter of entering the palace, say! What did you say to the queen when you entered the palace, and why did she leave the palace immediately after hearing your words, otherwise how could she have disappeared? ”

"Your Majesty spares her life, the courtiers really didn't harm the queen. Ah Yi is the biological daughter of the courtier, where can the courtier give up? Yang suddenly burst into tears, frightened and frightened, almost crying into tears.

Luo Qingluan said expressionlessly: "Mrs. Su, the queen mother came out of the palace to look for me, but she disappeared halfway, someone must have been following her, so she will focus on her in such a short period of time." If you don't say it until now, in case something really happens to Niangniang, it will be too late for you to regret it. ”
