Three days later, Jiang Tian was edicted to enter the palace, and the emperor received him in the Longxing Palace, and the two talked about the candidates for the generals of the garrison of the Eastern Chongqing State. It turned out that the emperor only found out at this time that he could not find a person in his camp who could be competent. On the other hand, King Chen, not only can he himself, but even the generals he has carefully cultivated can be on their own.

"Jiang Tian, you are my brother-in-law, a member of the royal family, and I have no one who can be qualified to guard the Dongyu border pass now except you."

"The emperor has a good reputation, in fact, there are many people in the court who are competent, Jiang Tian has never managed the garrison, the emperor, Jiang Tian is not a good candidate."

He refused, he would refuse his proposal, this is the best time to grasp the military power, although the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jiang Guogong Mansion is already there, but if you add the military power of the border pass, then it will be able to match the king of Chen, such a good opportunity, did he give up like this?

"Jiang Tian, I gave you this opportunity, do you want to refuse?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the minister has no experience in managing the garrison, so naturally he does not dare to accept the emperor's entrustment, otherwise he will not be able to live up to the emperor's entrustment, and the Jiang family will not be able to bear it." Jiang Tianbi said respectfully.

Jiang Tian knew very well in his heart that the emperor was useless, although King Jing was also a good candidate, but King Jing was old after all, besides, he at least had to keep a confidant, there was no one in the Bai family anymore, so he could only keep King Jing by his side.

However, Jiang Tian really pity the emperor from the bottom of his heart, maybe he doesn't know his life experience until now. Come to think of it this way, the emperor is actually a victim.

"Jiang Tian, I know that you haven't thought it through yet, I will give you a few more days to think about it, you won't leave the palace tonight, just live in the palace." The emperor said lightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Tian was slightly stunned, and even wanted to leave him in the palace? This is simply house arrest in disguise. However, it's okay to do this, he happened to come to visit Fengluan Palace at night.

That night, Jiang Tian waited for most of the people to rest, so he changed into night clothes and walked out of the room, and disappeared into the night.

When she came to Fengluan Palace, Jiang Tian hooked the eaves with her legs, and immediately leaned over to see that the queen was sitting upright on the seat, and the palace maids and eunuchs standing beside her were not the same as before.

"Mother, it's late at night, let's rest early." The palace maid softly comforted.

"I can't sleep, as soon as I close my eyes, I dream that so many unjust souls in this palace come to me to ask for my life, how do you let this palace sleep?" The queen said angrily.

So many unjust souls asking for their lives? This queen has so much courage? However, the people who are serving around her do look very eye-catching, could it be that the palace people in the queen's palace have changed? Just as he was thinking about it, he heard two palace maids whispering not far away.

"Sister Xiangzhi, how do I feel that this Fengluan Palace is always gloomy?

"Laneige, do you really not know? I also heard from the old man in the palace that all the people who served in the queen's palace were poisoned overnight. One by one, the seven orifices were bleeding, and they looked particularly terrifying. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"I heard that the queen mother knew something that shouldn't be known, and the queen mother killed the people in her palace to warn her."

"Sister Xiangzhi, aren't the queen mother and the queen aunt and nephew? It's all the Bai family, so why bother? ”

"So what? Family affection is naturally nothing in the face of interests. ”

Hearing the chat between the two palace maids, Jiang Tian secretly said in his heart that the Queen Mother killed the people in the Queen's Palace, it should be because the Queen Mother knew that the Emperor was the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and King Jing.

But this is not enough to kill the people of the first palace, even if they know, it is only a few people who are close to the queen who know that killing the people of the first palace is really vicious enough.

Now that he has clues, Jiang Tian naturally wants to check it out, but the people who know the details are already dead, and the one who is alive refuses to tell the truth, it seems that he can only use extraordinary means.

The next day, Jiang Tian again rejected the emperor's kindness, and the emperor saw that there was no hope, so he no longer insisted on it, after all, the Jiang Guogong Mansion was different from other places.

After Jiang Tian left the palace, he went straight to King Ning's mansion and told King Ning what he overheard in the queen's palace. Sure enough, this queen mother is really ruthless, and she actually killed a palace person.

At this moment, the people sent by King Ning to investigate the matter also returned. At the beginning, so many people suddenly died in the palace, but it caused a lot of sensation at the beginning, and those who died of relatives were just some ordinary people, even if they sued Jingzhao Yin Yamen, who would dare to care about the affairs in the palace.

"Lord Wang, everyone has been brought back, and now they are all in the backyard, do you want to go see them now?" The butler asked softly.

"Well, I'll be over in a moment, and besides, I didn't notice anyone when I brought them back."

"Don't worry, these things have not been seen."

"Well, that's good." King Ning said lightly.

"Lord, King Chen and the princess are here." The butler said with a smile.

"Ask them to go to the backyard with us." After finishing speaking, King Ning turned to look at Jiang Tian and said "You are here too", and walked straight towards the backyard.

When they came to the backyard, there were already more than a dozen people waiting there, and those people had not seen King Ning, but they heard that someone asked them about the death of their family, and they would give a pension of three taels of silver, so they naturally wanted to come.

It's just that they don't understand that it has been so long since the matter has passed, and the people in the government have never asked, why someone would ask about it now.

"Lord Wang, it's them." The butler said softly.

"Blessed is the king." The people knelt down in unison.

There are many princes and nobles in this Cloud City, but there are only a handful of princes with faces in Cloud City. The rest of the people will not have such a big mansion.

"Get up. I have asked you to come today, because the king has something to ask you. ”

"Lord Wang, what do you want to ask, it's just that we are all ordinary people and don't know much."

"This king only wants to know which palace your family members worked in the palace in the first place."

"Back to the prince, our children are all errands in the queen's palace."

Sure enough, these people's families are all on errands in the queen's palace, which shows that the queen knows the secret. It's just that the queen won't tell them those secrets, and finally there are some clues, but now there are none.

"Your family members used to be in the Queen's Palace, how could they all die in good manners? And it's all a violent death? Chu Lixue asked softly.

If you want her to believe it, these are all coincidences, and you won't believe it if you kill her, in fact, it is useless for King Ning to send people to find these people, their families have been wiped out, how can they know the secrets in the palace, this matter still has to start with the people around the Queen Mother.

"Princess, we don't know, our family died suddenly, and Jing Zhaoyin sent me away as soon as they said that they were seriously ill and died."

"Hmph, seriously ill? I don't believe it. Chu Lixue snorted coldly.

"Remnant snow, remnant moon, give everyone three taels of silver per family, as a pension, if you have something to remember, go to Deyue Tower to leave a message."

Everyone couldn't believe it when they let them get the money and leave so quickly. It's a pity that they don't know anything and can't avenge their families, and now they can only hope for Princess Chen, as long as Princess Chen intervenes in this matter, thinking about it, the cause of their family's death will soon surface.

After sending those people away, Chu Lixue said lightly, "Uncle Wang, Lord Wang, why are you still hiding this from me?" ”

"It's not that I want to hide it from you, we haven't found conclusive evidence yet, and we don't want you to get involved too early." King Chen flattered.

"Hmph, you still don't believe me, in fact, the families of these victims can only prove that their families are all in the queen's palace, and they died violently en masse, who would believe such a thing."

"If anyone doesn't believe you, I told you, and you can't do anything." King Chen pouted. Sometimes, this daughter-in-law wants to be spoiled, but sometimes she is too spoiled, and she doesn't take you seriously. Only then did King Chen understand why other people had to marry three wives and four concubines, balance, several women had to compete for favor with each other, and naturally they had to show their best side to men, but what about him, just a daughter-in-law, and he had to be remembered by so many people, it was simply a whole upside down.

"You, is it only in the ground that grain grows?" Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Of course, doesn't grain grow in the ground, but also on the roof?" King Chen said helplessly.

"If you investigate this matter from the victim's side, the natural efficiency is very slow, but if you check it from the victim's side, you may have unexpected gains?" Chu Lixue said lightly.

"Perpetrators? What do you mean......" King Chen was a little puzzled. The perpetrator is the Empress Dowager Bai, there is no doubt about this, but if you want her to confess by herself, this is simply impossible. It's just that King Chen doesn't understand why Chu Lixue said that.

Chu Lixue saw that King Chen didn't seem to understand what she meant, so she could only shake her head helplessly and said: "You, think about it, the people who know the most about the Empress Dowager Bai are the ones who know the most except her and King Jing, and that is the grandmother who has been serving her." She can kill other people, but she will definitely not kill the grandmother who has been taking care of her. The reason is that Mama Qian can be trusted. ”

"Yes, you said it, Mama Qian can be trusted, so she won't betray Queen Mother Bai."

"Mama Qian won't, so what about Mama Qian's family? I found out that Mama Qian has a son, this person is very lustful and gambling......" Before Chu Lixue's words were finished, King Chen already understood the meaning of her words.
