Chapter 145: Resolute

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall was extremely tense, and the people in the entire hall were kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish! I can't even look at a corpse, what's the use of raising you! The emperor said angrily.

And the commander of the Praetorian Guard kneeling underground was already sweating profusely at this moment, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he trembled at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, please spare your life, what happened last night was very evil, everyone fainted unconsciously, and when they woke up, they were gone." ”

"What do you want to eat! This is obviously someone who entered the palace and stole the body, won't you go after the clues! The emperor looked at the commander of the Praetorian Guard and roared, his face turned blue with anger.

The person he had been by his side for more than ten years was unknowingly taken away overnight, and the whole palace only found out this morning! It just doesn't make sense! He couldn't get her heart when Shen Suixin was alive, and when she died, he finally kept her by his side, but now he still hasn't kept her.

"Get out! Don't go down and check it out yet! Remember that this matter is not to be made public, if anything goes wrong, Chi Zhen will definitely be the first to take off your head! The emperor yelled at the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

"Yes, my subordinates will go and check!" The Praetorian Guard commanded, and then tremblingly withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, only then did he pick up his sleeve and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Father-in-law De, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite the eldest lady over, I have something to ask her!" Then, the emperor said quietly, with a vicious yin in his eyes!

When Gonggong De heard this, he immediately stood up and said tremblingly: "The slave obeys the order, so I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to invite the eldest lady over." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly retreated, at this moment his back was already soaked with cold sweat, the emperor's temper has become more and more irritable in the past few days, and he feels that his head is becoming more and more unstable as a slave.

When Gonggong De arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and passed through the garden, he happened to be seen by Mu Ruoxue, who was playing on the side of the garden.

Seeing that Father-in-law De was in a hurry, Mu Ruoxue was a little puzzled, remembering what happened last night, the emperor must have found out now, I am afraid that there is nothing good for people to come from this distance, thinking of this, Mu Ruoxue can follow, but Father-in-law De did not go to the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion but went all the way to Li Jinxiu's courtyard.

Mu Ruoxue, who secretly followed behind Gonggong De all the way, frowned tightly when she saw this, at this time, Gonggong De came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went directly to Li Jinxiu, and Li Jinxiu was the eyeliner that the emperor had placed next to Shen Suixin before, and now the emperor was afraid that he was going to ask Li Jinxiu about it.

Although she was very secretive when she came back from last night, and she also looked around carefully, and indeed did not find anyone, but Li Jinxiu knew about last night's events Mu Ruoxue still didn't dare to guarantee it, and suddenly remembered the wild cat that appeared outside Mu Hanyun's study for no reason last night, maybe it was not a wild cat!

Thinking of this, Mu Ruoxue followed directly, and kept following behind Gonggong De from a distance, without letting him find out.

At this time, Li Jinxiu was sitting in the courtyard making tea, looking as leisurely as usual, as if she was a noble lady, but if you look closely, you will find that Li Jinxiu's expression is a little erratic at this time, obviously having something on his mind.

"Big lady." walked into the courtyard with his father-in-law dutifully and said to Li Jinxiu, and there was no respect for the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in his tone.

Li Jinxiu was startled by the sudden voice of Father-in-law De, the teacup he was holding just now fell directly to the ground, turned around, and a touch of surprise appeared on Li Jinxiu's face when he saw Father-in-law De, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but these emotions were quickly taken back by Li Jinxiu.

"Isn't this Father-in-law De, I don't know what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" Li Jinxiu looked at Degong and fair.

"The slave passed on the emperor's message, please ask the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion Li to enter the palace immediately!" Virtue and justice.

Li Jinxiu's hand squeezing the handkerchief tightened when he heard this, his face became a little pale, and he looked at Degong and said, "I don't know what happened to the emperor summoning his courtiers into the palace?" ”

"The holy will is unpredictable, since the emperor summoned him, it naturally has the emperor's intentions, the eldest lady should follow me into the palace quickly!" Virtue and justice.

Li Jinxiu's face was a little ugly when she heard this, and she wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Mu Ruoxue's words before she could say anything.

"Auntie, I have something I want to tell you." Mu Ruoxue suddenly walked in from outside the door, and pretended to be surprised when she saw the father-in-law in the courtyard.

"Father-in-law, why are you also in your aunt's yard?" Mu Ruoxue looked at Degong and fair, her face full of doubts, as if she really broke in suddenly.

"The slave has seen the eldest lady, and the slave came today to let the eldest lady enter the palace for questioning at the emperor's command." Father-in-law De looked at Mu Ruoxue and said with a smile.

"Question? Is that aunt going to enter the palace at this moment? That's really unfortunate, I just wanted to ask my aunt about some things that should be paid attention to when getting married. Immediately, Mu Ruoxue looked at Li Jinxiu again, and her face was full of regret.

When Li Jinxiu heard this, she looked at Mu Ruoxue and knew that she couldn't escape today, so she said, "It's okay, I'll tell you these things slowly after my aunt comes back." ”

"Auntie, go with confidence! I'll take care of my sister. Mu Ruoxue said again, and specially accentuated the pronunciation of the two words of her sister, on the surface, it seems that there is no problem with this sentence.

But Li Jinxiu's face changed greatly when she heard this, her eyes stared at Mu Ruoxue, and after a while, she said: "Ruoxue has really grown up, don't worry, what you want to know, what you want, your aunt will prepare it for you, Ruofei's mood has improved a lot in the past few days, you can go and see her in a while!" Don't forget your aunt's instructions to you! ”

Li Jinxiu almost gritted her teeth and said these words, of course she understood what Mu Ruoxue's words just now meant! It's a naked threat, and Namu Ruofei's life is threatening her!

Last night, she originally wanted to go to Mu Hanyun to bring her soup, but she overheard the conversation between Mu Hanyun and Mu Ruoxue, she was very shocked, she wanted to leave quickly but didn't want to make a move, although she covered it with a wild cat last night, but Mu Ruoxue was afraid that she had already suspected it at this time! And Mu Ruoxue has always known her identity.

Her only concern in this life is Mu Ruofei, she was used by the emperor and suspected by her husband, and now the only thing she can do is to protect her daughter! She probably won't be able to come back to the palace this time, but as long as she can protect her daughter, she is willing to do it!

"Auntie's entrustment Ruoxue will naturally not forget, so aunt can go with confidence!" Mu Ruoxue said lightly.

Then, Li Jinxiu smiled self-deprecatingly, rearranged his makeup, and then followed Gonggong De to the palace.

Seeing Li Jinxiu being summoned into the palace, Mu Ruoxue's eyes flashed with coldness, now, Li Jinxiu being taken away is just the beginning, the emperor will definitely not give up easily, the real danger is still to come!

Subsequently, Mu Ruoxue walked to Mu Ruofei's yard, at this time Mu Ruofei had already fallen asleep, Mu Ruoxue checked her pulse again, and found that she had indeed improved a lot recently, so she left.

After all, he promised Li Jinxiu to let Mu Ruofei marry Nanfeng in a dignified manner, although he hated the mother and daughter very much on weekdays, but since he had promised, he had to do it!

The sky is slowly darkening, and the stars are hanging all over the sky, but the atmosphere of the palace at night is still solemn, giving people a very oppressive feeling!

"Ahh At this time, a woman's scream came from the secret room of the palace.

And the emperor was looking intently at Li Jinxiu, who had been tortured, sitting in front of her and sipping tea peacefully, as if the blood in front of him made him enjoy it very much, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Li Jinxiu's hands were tied with iron chains, her whole body was hanging in the air, unkempt, her body was full of whip marks and blood stains, her clothes were already tattered, there was a deep wound on her chest that could faintly see the bones, and the blood flowed down her body until the instep of her toes dripped on the ground.

In just one morning, Li Jinxiu has been tortured like this, which shows the viciousness of the emperor's methods!

"Tell me, where was Shen Suixin's corpse hidden by that old guy Mu Hanyun?" The emperor spoke, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

From the morning trial to the present, but the woman in front of him, who usually cherishes her life, has now become so stubborn, and he can't pry her mouth open with so many means, which makes him a little annoyed, he knows that the woman in front of him must know something!

"How many times did the emperor ask again, and the result was the same, the courtiers didn't know what the emperor meant, and they hadn't seen the body of the young lady back then!" A faint voice came out of Li Jinxiu's mouth, she has been suffering from hell from noon to now, but she can't say it, she can't say anything!

Seeing that Li Jinxiu didn't let go, the emperor said angrily to the people on the side: "Give her some ginseng tablets, hang her life and don't let her die, continue to try me, if you can't be tried, don't want to live!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

When the person standing next to the emperor heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and then began to interrogate Li Jinxiu, hoping that the woman in front of him could say what the emperor wanted to know as soon as possible.
