When they heard that the emperor suddenly came to Fengqi Palace, the faces of the queen and the old lady flashed a trace of panic.

The queen hurriedly sent Lu Jiangli's hand, turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and tried her best to calm down.

"Yo, why is the princess in this world also in the queen's palace? How did the concubine remember that there were many misunderstandings between the queen and the princess? Concubine Li covered her delicate lips and followed the emperor, and her bright clothes and delicate outfits made her more and more radiant.

Lu Jiangli was already in a depressed mood and didn't want to deal with her at all.

When the queen turned around, her eyes, which had just returned tears, returned to their former calm and sharpness in an instant, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

After giving a slight salute, the emperor didn't speak for a long time and got up, with a dark face, and sat down: "What is the queen talking about with the princess?" Talking so energetically? ”

The queen's body trembled, and she replied like a stream: "Back to the emperor, the concubine has been unwell recently, so I will ask the princess to come to the palace to check the pulse and heal the ......."

Concubine Li joked lukewarmly: "The news of the queen mother is really well-informed!" The princess of this world has just returned to the imperial capital in the morning, and she has been summoned to the palace by you! What a coincidence! ”

A hint of panic flashed in the queen's drooping eyes, but when she raised her head, she became confident: "Oh? Isn't the princess in the house during this time? It seems that Hongu is really a coincidence! ”

Lu Jiangli didn't want to listen to their open and secret fights, so he only glanced at the queen coldly and said: "Since the queen mother is fine, then I won't bother the emperor and the mother, and say goodbye." ”

But as soon as she turned around, the emperor said majestically: "Slow! Lu Yatou doesn't want to care about the case in Qinghe Village! ”

Qinghe Village ......

Does the emperor know?

Who reported it? Mo Yunheng? Or Qin Yue?

Lu Jiangli turned around slowly and looked at the emperor in shock.

And the emperor squinted dangerously, and the teacup in his hand fell heavily to the ground: "If it weren't for the fact that I received the fold, I wouldn't have known that such a tragic thing would happen in my Tianze country!" More than 130 people in Qinghe Village were killed overnight! Even the children who are not yet full-term have not been spared! The murderer simply defied the court and imperial power! I have ordered that this case must be thoroughly investigated! It must be investigated clearly, clearly, and justice for those who died in vain! ”

Concubine Li also pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "Yes, there are more than 130 people!" Who is so ruthless, it's so brutal! If this matter is not given justice to the people, who will still take our emperor and the court in the eyes in the future? By the way, the emperor, I heard that a few days ago, Mo Shizi told you to take leave, saying that he was accompanying the princess back to Qinghe Village; Since the corner of the princess has returned to Qinghe Village, she should know about it! ”

"Since you know about this, why didn't you report it from the emperor? Or are you hiding something? ”

As soon as Concubine Li opened her mouth, she deducted Lu Jiangli for the crime of deception, Lu Jiangli frowned, hugged her fists and said: "Concubine Li's news is really well-informed!" Even the affairs of the court were known clearly for the first time! ”

One sentence made Concubine Li also suffer a dumb loss, and Concubine Li wanted to explain with a weak heart: "This palace also listened to what the palace people said, but I didn't expect it to be true!" ”

The emperor had a rigid face, his eyes were majestic and deep, and he slowly spoke: "Aren't you strange?" Who exactly reported it? After Yin Shangshu was promoted to the imperial capital as an official, I sent a new county commander to take over, and I happened to be in Qinghe Town a while ago! If he hadn't sent someone back to send me back, I guess I would still be in the dark! ”

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped his palm heavily on the stone table.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to gasp.

Only Lu Jiangli dared to explain: "The emperor is angry, this matter is indeed bad; But we didn't mean to hide it, I think even if the emperor didn't receive the fold, my husband and the third prince would truthfully report what they saw and heard on this trip to Qinghe Village! ”

The emperor glanced at her with meaningful eyes and said coldly, "Yes! What did you find this time? ”

Lu Jiangli hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to hand over the piece of cloth he picked up to the emperor.

So, she took out the rag package from her purse and handed it to herself: "As the emperor said, Qinghe Village ceased to exist overnight!" But what the murderer didn't know was that there was a person in the village who was a duck dealer, and he collected ducks and duck feathers in a neighboring village for three days, and luckily escaped this disaster. But by the time he returned to the village, it was already in flames, and the villagers had been killed. He had no choice but to rush into the fire and rescue his wife and daughter, who had not yet been seriously burned. And this strip of cloth is exactly what his daughter is dragging in her hand! ”

The Emperor took the dirty handkerchief from her hand, and when he opened it, he saw a silky strip of cloth.

The emperor's thumb stroked the strip of cloth carefully, and his face became more and more solemn: "This is the silk used in the palace!" ”

Immediately, the emperor's cold eyes slowly skimmed to the empress, whose face was becoming more and more pale, and threw the strip of cloth into her face: "Empress, as the master of the harem, explain it!" ”

The queen was also very frightened: "There are a lot of this kind of cloth in the palace, and the concubines don't know it." ”

However.

The emperor's eyes were fierce, he suddenly stood up, and snorted coldly: "You don't know, then why don't you check?" The cloth in the palace is all fixed and recorded! Examine! I have to find out! ”

The queen bowed her knees and said respectfully: "Yes, the concubine immediately ordered to go down and be sure to find out the source of this cloth." ”

"Humph!" Just as the emperor lifted his robe and was about to get up, suddenly, the sound of the palace maid screaming in horror came from the garden.

"Ahh

"Dead! There are dead people! ”

Suddenly, the palace people in the garden were in a mess.

The emperor's eyes sharpened, and he strode out of the pavilion and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Concubine Li also lifted the hem of her skirt and followed closely, but she deliberately showed a defiant smile when she passed by the queen.

When the queen heard that there was a dead person buried in the courtyard, she almost fainted without fright, but fortunately the old lady helped her: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

The queen shook her head, extremely uneasy in her heart: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Lu Jiangli originally planned to leave, but since there was a murder, she also planned to take a look at the situation.

So......

The emperor walked to the garden with everyone and said majestically: "What kind of system is it to be surprised?" What the hell is going on! ”

I saw that the palace people gathered in a circle, avoiding a flower garden from a distance, all of them were afraid, and they were talking about something.

One of the delicate-looking palace maids trembled and knelt on the ground and said, "Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids are responsible for watering flowers and fertilizing the flowers and pruning the branches of the flowers and plants. That kind of peony is Niangniang's favorite variety, and the peony flowers that bloom every year are also the most fragrant and largest. But recently the slave noticed that it had begun to wither and lose its leaves, so she thought of pruning it and applying a little more fertilizer and water. ”

"But when the slave maid was pruning the branches, she noticed a strange rancid smell from the flowers! So, after the slave asked the grandmother, she dug it up and checked, but she didn't expect that there was a corpse buried under the flower! ”
