Xu is queen's prestige played a role, Xu is the king's acquiescence extinguished hope, Xu is Mu Yudai's retreat let everyone see the reality clearly, on the last day, dozens of people came to the imperial garden one after another to register, and the sun set before all ended.

Luoxi watched quietly, the dim light reflected on her face, and her long eyelashes cast shadows, covering the emotions in her eyes.

The alternation of day and night blurs the boundaries of time and identity, Mu Yutao sits opposite the sunset, silence is the common melody of the two today.

"Mother."

The unusual quietness of the setting sun had already attracted Mu Yutao's attention, he hesitated for a long time, struggled for a long time, and finally didn't ask the reason, but said, "Tomorrow, Weichen will assist Niangniang to investigate the six palaces." ”

Luo Xi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hint of resentment in her deliberately avoided eyes, Mu Yutao secretly distinguished, this resentment was more like it was coming at herself, but she didn't know what it was.

"That Weichen retreated first." Mu Yutao suppressed the strangeness in his heart and bowed to salute.

"General, please."

The next day, the setting sun ordered to be exempted from the day's time and province, each palace according to the size of the position, by the palace maid arranged a group of 30 people by the inner court division to investigate one by one, the queen, Mu Yutao supervised and inspected, if it was found that there was a martial arts but did not report, they were all put in prison, waiting for disposal.

Mu Yutao came to Fengcai Building early, only to see the high Fengtai at sunset, the exquisite makeup covered the tiredness, the majestic clothes were solemn and dignified, far away like floating clouds, cold as frost, still the cold appearance of yesterday.

Mu Yutao was inexplicably irritable, and after saluting, she sat down, and her handsome face was faintly cold, which made the already nervous palace people even more uneasy.

This investigation started from Taikang Palace, Qiyan Palace, and Changle Palace...... When it was Hechang's turn, it was close to noon.

Although it was early spring, the midday sun was terrifyingly bright. Under the scorching sun, the concubines watching the ceremony were like frost-beaten narcissus, wilting and lifeless. Only Luo Xi has always maintained the proper appearance and demeanor of a queen, and she has never even moved her eyebrows, only Mu Yutao noticed the unconscious rubbing of her five fingers half-tucked in her sleeves.

Zhen Zhen said that the key to judging whether a person will be martial is to look at the weight of his pace, and the same is true for the judgment method of the Inner Court Division today.

They prepared a pit nine zhang wide, nine zhang long, and three feet deep in the field, and spread thick sand on top of it, so that the palace maids could walk over it and observe the depth of the sand subsidence, and the footprints were deep and evenly skimmed, and the rest was carefully examined by the imperial physician and the Praetorian Guard.

The long wait made the palace maid's hair bun a little messy, wisps stuck to the wet forehead, sweat slipped out of the temples, dripping down the face and falling on the chest, Mu Yutao watched the flower-like woman walk through the sand in an orderly manner, and her mood gradually calmed down.

At this time, the palace people with the Inner Court Division discovered the abnormality and the investigation was suspended.

After a while, there was an attendant holding the roster and comparing them one by one, and stopped when they were exquisite.

From the stage, Linglong's original self-confidence disappeared without a trace, and as time passed, surprise gradually turned into panic, and she looked helplessly at the stage, her red eyes full of fear.

Wang Gui, the head of the Inner Court Division, stepped forward and said, "Queen Niang, the palace maid has a different pace and has not registered the list of warriors, so it needs to be investigated in detail." ”

Luo Xi's pupils shrank slightly, "Check!" "The voice is cold, chilling.

The two attendants left and right removed Linglong from the field, Mu Yudai couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned his head and said eagerly to Luoxi, "Niangniang, Linglong is the concubine's concubine's concubine, she has served the concubine since she was a child, the concubine dares to swear to the sky, she doesn't know anything about martial arts, there must be some misunderstanding here." ”

Looking at the anxious face of the beauty, Queen Luoxi unconsciously softened her tone and said, "The palace is also worried that there will be a misjudgment based on the footsteps alone, so it has arranged for the imperial doctor and the Praetorian Guard to investigate in detail, and the concubine may wish to wait for a while, and see you after a while." ”

Luo Xi's appeasement worked, Mu Yu Dai calmed down a little, and turned his attention to the other palace people of Hechang Palace who were checking, not noticing the guilt and apology in Luo Xi's eyes.

Jingjing suddenly stopped in front of Luo Xi and said, "Niangniang, please drink tea, this is your favorite bitter tea." ”

The dark green water surface reflects Luoxi's dazed heart, showing her softness and fragility, Luoxi takes the teacup and drinks it all.

The bitterness that surrounds the bottom of my heart, the tranquil sweetness is instantaneous, and the evening puts down the teacup, and it is a queen again, upright and solemn.

The investigation of the palace people of Hechang Palace has not yet ended, but there is a problem with Linglong's detailed investigation.

Luo Xi looked at the three people in the audience, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by being uncertain?" ”

Yu Zhou knelt with Linglong and the imperial doctor, and when he heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "The palace maid's pace is indeed different from ordinary people, if you look at the weight of her steps alone, she should be a master, but after the test of Weichen, she does not know martial arts." ”

The imperial physician on the side followed, "Weichen has also carefully checked the physical condition of this palace maid, her muscles are weak and weak, which is completely opposite to a martial arts practitioner. ”

Cao Zhou grew up with Mu Yutao since he was a child, before Mu Yudai got married, he often saw this little girl in the Mu family, although he didn't like her to be mean and competitive, but he couldn't bear her to die in Huangquan, and then said, "Niangniang...... this palace maid had a few encounters with Weichen before entering the palace, at that time she had deep steps, no different from ordinary people, and Weichen was sure that she would not know martial arts at that time. She has only been in the palace with the concubine for a few years, and looking at her footprints, she is at least a master for more than ten years, which is really incredible. ”

Luo Xi looked suspicious and asked, "Is it difficult for a person who knows martial arts to pretend that he doesn't know martial arts?" ”

Yu Zhou hesitated, "This ...... It's not very difficult, but you need to pay attention to your every move in time, which is time-consuming and easy for people to find out if you are not careful.

Luo Xi asked the Imperial Doctor, "A person who doesn't know martial arts, is there a way to make his steps light?" ”

The Imperial Physician pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed medicines in the world that can make a person's pace light, like a master of light skills, but ...... Please also forgive Weichen for being a shallow learner, but he only knows but can't tell the difference, the medical skills of Dr. Luo of the Tai Hospital are far superior to Weichen, and he may be able to find out the reason why the Linglong girl's pace is different from ordinary people. ”

Luoxi nodded and said, "Go and ask Doctor Luo." After thinking about it again, he said to Mu Yudai, "A search of Linglong's residence may be able to find evidence to prove Linglong's innocence." ”

Mu Yudai was stunned, and his gratitude was beyond words.

The jade behind her was pale, although these days they have inevitably been suspicious of the concubine has been restrained a lot, although those dirty things will never be placed in the palace of Hechang Palace, but her heart is uneasy, seeing Jingjing leading the order to leave, she hurriedly said, "The slave maid takes Miss Jingjing to go." ”

There was a moment of embarrassment on Mu Yudai's face, but Luo Xi didn't have any expression, but he nodded dispensably, and his indifferent expression almost made Jade suspect that he was wrong.

……

A moment later, there was some commotion behind the crowd, and Mu Yutao looked at it intently, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes.

Luo Xi's eyes were not good, and it was not good to stand up and look, so he subconsciously asked Mu Yutao for help with his eyes.

The tense atmosphere was broken in an instant, Mu Yutao even wanted to laugh, the chill around him gradually receded, and he covered his mouth and said softly, "It's Li Chengyong." ”

Luo Xi was also taken aback, and then clenched her fists, as if to support her crumbling body.

Li Chengyong has been in the palace for the elderly, with the title of the chief manager, in fact, the real power has long been in Li Li's hands, but as long as he appears, he represents the will of the king.

Last time, he made a suggestion to the queen, suggesting that the king intended to suppress Mu Xiang's power in the palace. So what kind of variables will he add to this time?
