Xiao Qinglang sneered and patted her forehead gently, "How can you be like Mingzhu, more and more open-mouthed, let's just say this here, leave my sight, don't say more." ”

That sentence is the most ruthless emperor's family, if it spreads, maybe she will get into trouble again. There are many people in the court who are afraid of him and her, and there are naturally not a few people who want to handle them.

Xu Chu pursed his lips, but he also knew that he was really casual just now, so he nodded slowly and said, "I understand, the left and right are just talking in front of you." ”

Xiao Qinglang tilted his head slightly, looked at her side face and smiled helplessly. However, he also believed what Xu Chu said, according to her temperament, if it wasn't for her defenseless self, how could she blurt out the royal matter?

She is most afraid of trouble, and she is also the most afraid of right and wrong, and she chooses a path that will cause trouble and right and wrong the most. Such a contradiction is quite funny when you think about it.

The two of them flipped through the roster again, and found that there was no one else except Wang Mingyang who was familiar with the palace and could be regarded as a powerful person, and who had anything to do with the British government.

"Where were Wang Yangming's bones buried?" Xu Chu asked in a low voice.

In the end, although the end was a little bleak, at least the body was collected as the chief eunuch, and it would definitely not be discarded in the mass grave like the ordinary errant palace people.

Xiao Qinglang nodded, "Traditionally, the chief eunuchs will be buried near the imperial mausoleum to protect the emperor and queen for generations. So, naturally, he was also buried there. ”

"What about the English duke?"

"Naturally, it's in the English cemetery." Xiao Qinglang calmly put away the roster, looked sideways and whispered to Xu Chu, "I have already sent someone to check, and when I am sure that no one is stopping me, I will find a night when the black man is quiet to find out the truth." ”

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qinglang, who had a far-reaching gaze, and was dumbfounded for a moment. Originally, she thought that it should be extremely difficult to convince him to secretly dig up the tomb to investigate, after all, for the ancients, the cemetery was the place where the feng shui of a clan was more inherited, and it would be a crime to move the cemetery......

So much so that she pondered for a long time and thought of countless ways to persuade him, but she didn't expect that he was already prepared.

Xu Chu took a deep breath, looked at the handsome and elegant Xiao Qinglang, and said, "The prince's methods and temperament are really extraordinary. ”

She said this sincerely, but there was no contempt in the slightest. In fact, in her opinion, in order to ensure justice in this hierarchical feudal society, it is impossible to rely only on fair and honest means to investigate cases. And Xiao Qinglang is like this, but it is very much in line with her heart.

Xiao Qinglang raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Otherwise, how can you sit firmly in the top position of the three law divisions?" ”

The danger he faced at the beginning was not as simple as digging a grave? When it was the hardest, he could only watch the king of Yunnan send people to skin people alive in front of him without saying anything to stop him. Even, in the mountains and mass graves, he sought a place to escape from pursuit.

So, after going through so many things, his bottom line has also changed. The black-and-white temperament that was once less than the age of bundling hair has gradually been dyed black, as long as the murderer can be punished, or deceived or autopsied, what can't he do? In the end, it's just a change of means. Different paths lead to the same end, probably this is the truth.

After checking the roster, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu went to see the emperor first, and after getting the approval again, the two went to Changli Palace with Liu Deming, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

Changli Palace has not been inhabited for decades, and since the first concubine was abolished, it has become a deserted courtyard. Although its interior scenery is gorgeous and the palace is magnificent, it can't stand the will of the first emperor and Xiao Qinglang's mood, so he has never let the concubines move in.

Over time, the atmosphere here became more and more gloomy and lonely, and it was said that there were ghosts who chose people to eat. Even though the rumor was finally suppressed, Changli Palace also became a terrifying existence in the eyes of others.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu didn't feel anything about those, the two of them were in front, followed by Liu Deming and Wei Guang who entered Changli Palace one after another.

Coming here here, Xiao Qinglang had an indescribable complex meaning in his heart. When he was young, he also secretly came back to see his mother several times, although the time here was not a happy one, but it was also in his heart.

In the first half of his life, his hopes in emotional matters were so poor that after the death of his mother, he didn't even have hope for his mother. In the end, it almost really became a crime-solving machine.

If he hadn't gone to Cangyan County, if he hadn't had a heart of love, if he hadn't met Xu Chu...... In the second half of his life, there is probably still no hope and joy.

While thinking, he looked at Xu Chu, who looked cautious beside him, and then hooked his lips and smiled.

Xu Chuzheng looked nervously left and right, lest the person behind the curtain would have a back hand, but he didn't want his hand to be held by something all of a sudden. She was startled, and just as she was about to make a move, she smelled a familiar smell between her noses, so the defense in her heart slowly let go.

She glared at Xiao Qinglang angrily, and whispered, "Lord Wang, people are scary, they will scare people to death!" ”

Xiao Qinglang said with a smile in his eyes, "I'm just worried that you are too nervous, and after going down the secret passage for a while, you will be flustered because your spirit is too tight." ”

Xu Chu couldn't refute this, she was really too nervous, and her palms were still wet and full of sweat at this moment.

Thinking of sweat, she couldn't help but blush. After sneaking a glance at Xiao Qinglang, seeing that his expression remained unchanged, his heart said that his palms were wet, but his own conjecture could not be true? Why did Xiao Qinglang, who loves cleanliness a lot, have no reaction at all?

Behind the two, the sharp-eyed Wei Guang moved his gaze to the side speechlessly. Hey, today's prince is less and less majestic and indifferent than in the past, it's really ...... What a joy!

Since the discovery of the secret passage here, the emperor has sent people to secretly guard the surroundings of Changli Palace, and there are even secret guards hidden in Changli Palace. One is to prevent someone from using the secret passage to assassinate, and the other is to try his luck and try his luck to see if he can catch the man who secretly enters and exits the secret passage.

This incident provoked not only the royal face, but also the emperor's face as a man. If there really are men who can freely enter and leave the harem without being detected, then ...... So does he have an affair with a harem woman? Did you buy off the concubines of the harem, or did you have any shady deals?

A person who can ascend to the throne and purge the remnants of the Dong family in the court in the shortest possible time with iron-blooded means after the death of the first emperor must not be a simple-minded person. He treats his brothers affectionately, and only because of the constant blood connection. As for others, if you want to challenge his bottom line, you must see the consequences of the emperor's anger and floating corpses everywhere.

Although Xu Chu didn't know so much, after stepping into Changli Palace, he still keenly felt as if he was being targeted by something.

She frowned, the fingertips held by Xiao Qinglang in the palm of her hand trembled slightly, and she looked at Xiao Qinglang silently.

The curvature of the corners of Xiao Qinglang's mouth remained unchanged, he sighed softly, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, there are people from the emperor hiding around here." ”

Xu Chu saw that he didn't care, and the worry in his heart gradually fell. She hesitated for a moment, and Xiao Qinglang, who was quietly leaning closer, got closer. This proximity is like instinct, and it is simply unconscious.

Wei Guang noticed the small movements of his prince and Xu Chu, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, secretly saying that he didn't expect Lord Xu to be so keen and alert, which was somewhat similar to the prince. No wonder the two are so compatible, they are all similar people in their emotional bones.

It's not an exaggeration as he thinks, but the people who can be selected by the emperor to arrange to guard the secret passage of Changli Palace must be his henchmen. The emperor's henchmen, in addition to a few close ministers of the emperor in the court, the rest should be palace guards like Wei Yan. And the dark guards, who summon one at random, are all good at fighting against a hundred. What's more, they are the best at hiding, just like Wei Yan, if he doesn't show up, I'm afraid that ordinary people will not be able to detect his existence.

Don't say that it is an ordinary person, even if it is a miscellaneous servant and slave in the palace, I am afraid that I don't know that the prince has a secret guard to protect him for so many years.

But this kind of hidden skill seemed to be useless in front of Xu Chu. Even though she didn't know where the man was hiding, she could sense for the first time that someone was hiding in the shadows and observing her. This kind of intuition is really accurate and terrifying.

As soon as Wei Guang thought of this, his gaze at Xu Chu became more and more respectful. If she really perceives the crisis so accurately, wouldn't the prince have an extra layer of protection with her by her side?

At this moment, Wei Guangzheng's thoughts were flying. Over there, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu had already entered Changli Palace.

Although Changli Palace has been abandoned for many years, it is also the residence of the concubines of the first palace in the end, so except for the signs of dilapidation and desolation, there is no dilapidated and overgrown scene in the resemblance of Xu Chu.

On the contrary, in the huge palace, you can vaguely see the original magnificence and the exquisite chic between the palace.

There is no luxury in the Queen Mother's Palace, but looking at the towering trees and glittering glazed tiles on the left and right, it is not difficult for people to imagine the quiet and elegant appearance before the Changli Palace was abandoned.

However, in the end, it is the palace in the palace, even if it has not been popular for many years, the rockery in the courtyard has been eroded by the wind and rain and some loosened, and most of the grass and trees in the flower garden are full of branches and have no beauty. However, it is still not difficult to see that there should be palace people here who simply clean it from time to time, otherwise it will not be just lonely.

Xiao Qinglang, who has never had a change in expression, finally couldn't maintain the curvature of the corners of his mouth after he really walked into Changli Palace. He pursed his lips tightly, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable sour feeling. He had lived here for many years, and although he didn't have much memory, at least at that time the concubine could still watch him talk a lot.
