"Brother Jue, I'm ...... I won't make trouble in the future, okay, then you ...... Will you like me? Suddenly, Liu quieted down gently, looked at Xigong Jue seriously and said.

"Gently, I've always liked you, and you'll always be like a sister in my heart." Touching Liu's head gently, Xigong Jue turned to leave.

"But I'm ...... It's not this kind of brother and sister relationship. Liu said softly.

Then Xigong Jue went out of the inn to the teahouse to pick up An Ran, and returned to the palace together, and the next morning, a queen mother's edict was sent to Ruian Palace, and Xigong Jue did not dare to slack off and enter the palace quickly.

Palace

Inside the Tianxuan Palace

The Queen Mother sat upright in a dark blue dress, the emperor sat on the side, Shen Bilan sat on the other side of the thief, Xigong Jin, Xigong Lonely, and Xigong Jue were all present.

The Queen Mother cleared her throat and said, "Do you know why the mourning family came to you today?" ”

"The sons don't know, please make it clear to the Queen Mother." The three princes said in unison.

"Recently...... There is a mysterious force in the capital, this force is buying iron tools on a large scale, and the movement is not small, but the source cannot be found, what is the opinion of the three of you? After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her eyes swept sharply over the three of them.

"Erchen has also heard about this matter, and he has secretly investigated it, but he has found nothing." Xigong Jue said the truth, and he really wanted to know, because the mother concubine was also investigating this matter, but he didn't expect to alarm the queen mother so soon.

"Oh? Since you know, why don't you report to the emperor and the mourning family? The Queen Mother seemed very dissatisfied.

"Because nothing has been found out, I don't know how to report it, the emperor has been working state affairs recently, and his sons don't want to cause trouble for the emperor." Xigong Jue said that this reason is also reasonable.

"Well, Lonely, what do you say?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed her words and looked at Xigong Lonely.

"Huh?" Nishinomiya was stunned.

"Tell me what you think." The Queen Mother stared at Xigong Lonely seriously.

"This ...... Erchen didn't know, but Erchen guessed that it might be a ghost caused by a few ministers with ghosts, after all, after Concubine Ning's accident, Prime Minister Ning was a little abnormal, and he was too quiet. Xigong Lonely slowly analyzed.

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's right, I don't rule out the possibility of Prime Minister Ning's side." ”

Finally, the Queen Mother looked at Xigong Jin: "Jin'er, it's your turn?" ”

"Ah, I, my son doesn't know, I don't know anything." Indeed, Xigong Jin only cares about picking up girls and drinking, where does she know this, so after saying it, the Queen Mother seemed very dissatisfied.

"You don't know about national affairs, what else do you know?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Queen Mother, Erchen really doesn't know, you ask the emperor and the second brother about this kind of thing, the third brother is fine, I'll forget it, ha." Nishigong Jin scratched his head and smiled.

"Okay, Queen Mother, don't be embarrassed, you know his nature." The emperor opened his mouth to plead.

"Forget it, this matter is not a trivial matter, the mourning family will continue to investigate, if you find out, also tell the mourning family." The Queen Mother commanded.

"Yes, Queen Mother." The three of them replied in unison.

"Then stand down." The Queen Mother waved her hand and broke the three people.

Walking out of Tianxuan Palace, Xigong Jin asked curiously, "Are you also investigating this matter?" Who the hell is this guy, who dares to buy ironware in Bianjing, and make such a big move in the imperial city, which is really domineering. ”

"I don't know." Nishinomiya Jue replied indifferently.

"I don't know." Nishinomiya also shook his head.

Seeing that the two elder brothers were not very enthusiastic, Xigong Jin immediately shut up.

After the three of them left, the Queen Mother asked the emperor with her eyebrows: "Your Majesty, in your opinion...... Which of the three of them is most likely to be the mastermind of this acquisition of iron? ”

"The three of them? Queen Mother, do you suspect the three of them? The emperor was a little surprised.

"What? Doesn't the emperor feel it? This time, it is obvious that they know us very well, so they can easily avoid our eyes, not them, but who? The Queen Mother shouted coldly.

"That's not easy to say, I didn't think about it in this way, after all, the people who bought the iron tools seem to be very rich, but I know the accounts of several of them, and no one has so much silver taels to do this, is the queen mother too worried?" The emperor obviously didn't want to involve this matter on the three brothers.

"It's not that the mourning family thinks too much, it's their approach that makes the mourning family suspicious, when the mourning family said that incident just now, I looked at their expressions and reactions, and each of them is suspicious, and none of them can be ruled out." The Queen Mother slowly analyzed.

"If it's the three of them, if it's more powerful, it should be more powerful." The emperor muttered.

"Nishinomiya Jue? He's good, but he doesn't seem to have done it this time, because when he was in the barracks, there was still a lot of movement here, and I don't believe he could command this side from so far? If something goes wrong, isn't it a trivial matter? The Queen Mother unexpectedly believed in Xigong Jue this time.

The emperor was stunned: "Who do you suspect about the queen mother?" ”

"The mourning family thinks that Xigong Jin and Xigong Lonely are the most suspicious? Don't look at how they usually eat and drink and don't do their jobs, maybe they are just trying to hide people's eyes, such people's minds are the most terrifying. The Queen Mother said slowly.

"Well, I can't rule it out, but I don't think they're like that." It seems that the emperor still cares about brotherhood very much, and he doesn't want to lie down after his mother to suspect the other three brothers.

"Your Majesty, you just value brotherhood too much, so you usually always protect them, don't think that the mourning family can't see it, the mourning family understands your thoughts, after all, the Xigong Jue has very few connections, but can you indulge those who have ambitions? The country is still yours, you know? ”

"Erchen understands that the queen mother doesn't need to say much, this matter ends here, let's take a look first, and then observe for a while, if anyone is behind the ghost, sooner or later it will come to light." The emperor didn't seem to want to discuss this issue with the Queen Mother.

"Okay, then the emperor will go back first." The Queen Mother sighed.

After the emperor left, Mama Chang came over and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, the slave maid thinks that the emperor still wants to know everything, but she can't investigate it ruthlessly At this time, I'm afraid it's because of my scruples, should we let them go?" ”

"Of course not, the emperor has a thought of benevolence, but the mourning family doesn't, this bad guy still let the mourning family do a good job, you go and order those people to continue to keep an eye on the movement of this matter, and if there is any trouble, report back immediately, especially find someone to keep an eye on Xigong Jin and Xigong Lonely." The Queen Mother commanded.

"Queen Mother, I usually see that you like His Royal Highness King Huai very much, why do you even suspect him?" Mama Chang was a little surprised.

"I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, this child is indeed more sensible, but the mourning family has to guard against it, the more he behaves like this, the more the mourning family can't guess what he thinks." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

"Yes, slave and maid will do it." After that, Mama Chang left the apse silently.

The Queen Mother sighed, looked out the window, and muttered: "This imperial city may have been quiet for too long, is it going to change?" ”
