It was big news that there were assassins in the palace, and for a while, rumors spread throughout the palace.

Hearing this, many people in the palaces were panicked, and they wanted Bai Yao to send someone to guard their palace as soon as possible. Only the queen and Concubine Lan did not make a single wave in the palace, and everything in Changle Palace was as usual, but Yilan Hall was quite unexpectedly closed, and seemed to be completely indifferent to this matter.

"Queen Mother-" The mandarin duck's voice sounded again: "The people in the Yilan Palace are almost noon now, and no one has come out, and there is news that there are assassins in the palace from Vice General Bai, will it be ......?"

Kou Shu shook her head: "This matter has not yet been clarified, so it is not possible to draw conclusions at will." Turned to Yuan Yun and said, "Yuan Yun, how did you check what I asked you to investigate?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded, stepped forward and said crisply: "Back to Niangniang, Yuan Song hasn't heard any news yet." Just say that things have an eyebrow. ”

A smile flashed in Kou Shu's eyes, and she heard a knock on the door: "Queen Mother-"

It's Bai Yao's voice, if it's ordinary, it's disrespectful for a man to enter his bedroom, but today, everyone knows that it's an exception.

"Vice Admiral Bai, please come in."

Bai Yao immediately entered the door and arched his hand: "Queen Mother, there was an assassin in the palace last night, let him run away, the emperor is worried that the assassin is hiding in the palace now, and ordered me to carefully investigate the situation in each palace, and ask the queen mother to also make it convenient." ”

Kou Shu nodded, spread out his palm and said, "General Bai, please." ”

"In addition," Bai Yao continued, "I also ask the queen to gather all the people in the Changle Palace, and now that the situation is critical, the minister wants to see how many girls and eunuchs are in each palace, and if it is not enough, let people send some more people over." ”

"Mandarin duck, you go and call all the people in the palace," Kou Shu's voice was very flat, and he turned his head to Bai Yao and said, "Vice General Bai has worked hard, and it is right to cooperate with Vice General Bai." I don't know what Vice Admiral Bai is investigating now? As if carelessly, Kou Shu asked.

"This ......" Bai Yao frowned: "Queen Mother, this is a matter ordered by the emperor, it is an important task for the military aircraft, please forgive me, I am afraid that Weichen can't say anything about this matter." ”

Nodding, Kou Shu didn't seem to be annoyed. However, Ripple seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Bai Yao's words, snorted coldly, and looked at Bai Yao with squinted eyes, as if he was very dissatisfied.

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Bai Yao's face, and after thinking about it again, he thought that Kou Shu was the daughter of General Kou, and he would not be a bad person in the future, so he still spoke: "Now there is only Concubine Lan Niangniang Yilan Hall and Concubine Xuan's Zhongcui Pavilion that has not been searched. ”

"Search? Could it be that General Bai was so sure that the assassin was hiding in the palace? Or was the Assassin the man of the palace? Kou Shu was keenly aware of the change in the word.

Bai Yao's face turned pale, and he realized that he had missed his mouth, and said, "The queen's words ......"

A guard stepped forward: "Adjutant General Bai, there is nothing abnormal. ”

Bai Yao nodded and said, "Queen Mother, Bai Yao farewell." ”

"Queen Mother-" Rippled voice sounded behind Kou Shu: "This Vice Admiral Bai, what are you here for?" "Since the ancestor worship ceremony, Ripple's temper has subsided a lot, although he is still a little impatient, but he is no longer open-mouthed.

Now it's April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, everything grows, and spring is vibrant.

"Your Majesty—" In Weiyang Palace, Song Jinyan stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the scenery outside the window. Su Peiyuan's voice came from behind him: "Vice General Bai asks to see." ”

Bai Yao took a step forward and clenched his fists with both hands: "The last general will participate in the emperor." ”

Song Jinyan turned around and said, "Vice General Bai." ”

Bai Yao nodded and said: "The last general checked the palaces, and secretly ordered people to check the rosters of the palace people, except for one person who was resting due to illness, the other two people are said to have slipped out of the palace, and there are no fewer people in the other palaces. ”

Song Jinyan frowned: "What about Changle Palace and Yilan Palace?" ”

Shaking his head, Bai Yao said: "In Changle Palace and Yilan Palace, all the girls are all there, and no one is there. ”

"Nor is there any Ylang Temple?" Yan Yi took a step forward and excitedly rushed down from the beam.

Bai Yao glared at Yan Yi, snorted, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said no, you still don't believe it?" Why don't you check it out yourself? ”

Yan Yi turned his head and looked at Song Jinyan: "Master, I obviously fought with that person in the secret room last night, how can I be unreasonable now, and there is no one missing?" Isn't this person from the palace? ”

Song Jinyan raised his head: "What does Vice General Bai mean?" ”

Bai Yao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has gone to see the charred corpse, and the tragic situation of self-immolation is absolutely unacceptable. If this person had not had a secret to see, he would never have prepared such a tragic death in advance. The last general felt that this person was most likely a person from the palace. ”

"But didn't you say that there were no fewer people in the palace? Not to mention the master, even the girl and eunuch have checked it carefully, is there anything missing. Yan Yi raised his eyebrows.

Song Jinyan waved his hand: "Let the corpse be verified by Dali Temple first, I let out the wind that day, but I didn't think that I would be able to catch the back immediately, not to mention that in addition to Concubine Lan, there are many people in this harem who are eyeing me." ”

Several people's faces turned pale, and they all bowed their heads and said yes.

In the Yilan Palace, Lan Ruoxuan's eyes were as cold as ice, and the hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly.

On the side, an extremely unusual person hooked his body slightly, looking very inconspicuous, but his serious eyes showed a trace of yin, if you look closely, you can find a deep sense of cruelty.

"Concubine Lan can think about it now?" Chu Li's voice came coldly, like a judge in hell.

Lan Ruoxuan's body trembled suddenly, her brother didn't come for a long time, Youzhu died violently, so many things that were not conducive to her happened one after another, and now she has been forced to the edge of the cliff step by step.

Last night, Chu Li suddenly came to find him, and asked him not to let the palace people go out this morning. At noon, Bai Yao came to search, it seemed that he was searching for assassins, but in fact, he was secretly holding the account book of the palace people and was checking the number of people, but Youzhu obviously didn't come back from the imperial study he sent last night, I don't know why, Bai Yao didn't seem to find it at all. I checked it and left,

"Prince Chu, this palace doesn't understand what you're talking about, this palace is the Lan Concubine Niangniang of the Great Xuan Hall, you come to the Yilan Hall of the palace, it doesn't make sense, the prince should go back." Lan Ruoxuan took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm.

Chu Li casually picked up a cup in Lan Ruoxuan's hand, held up the teacup with his thumb and forefinger and turned it slowly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the pattern on it, as if he was a little distracted by the carvings and paintings on it, and said, "Concubine Lan Niangniang's surname is Lan?" As far as Chu Li knows, I Daxuan, it doesn't seem to have this surname? ”

Lan Ruoxuan trembled violently and said, "Prince Chu misunderstood, I have a large and sparsely populated land, and there are people with the surname Lan in the southwest and northwest. If Prince Chu doesn't believe it, he can go and verify it. ”

"Oh?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows: "In this way, Concubine Lan is a person from the southwest and northwest of Daxuan?" ”

Standing up, Lan Ruoxuan's voice became even more calm: "Prince Chu, if you are fine, this palace will send off guests." ”
