With Shi Yu's order, Cai Sen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

The celebration banquet soon began to be prepared, and at night, everyone gathered in the government office, plus all kinds of food and wine, it was particularly lively.

Nie Zhaoyi didn't go because of his leg injury, staying in the room, and he could vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

He had searched the room inside and out, but he couldn't find the letter.

A letter could never disappear into thin air, and the only explanation was that someone stole it while he was unprepared, but who could it be?

Sitting in a wheelchair, Nie Zhaoyi frowned, thinking about various possibilities in his heart.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door outside the room, interrupting Nie Zhaoyi's thoughts.

Everyone should be attending the celebration banquet at this time, who will come?

Nie Zhaoyi said to the door: "The door is not closed, come in." ”

With a squeak, the door opened, and Autumn Frost walked in from outside.

"Mama Autumn Frost?" Nie Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment.

He had seen Qiushuang, and he was a grandmother that Nie Shiyu trusted very much, but he had never had any contact, how could the other party suddenly come to his room at this time.

And I heard that Qiushuang was injured, even if she didn't go to the banquet, she should have recuperated in the room.

Nie Zhaoyi's gaze fell on Qiu Shuang's feet, and the other party was indeed a little limping.

"The slave has seen the five princes." The autumn frost blessed the body.

Nie Zhaoyi motioned for the other party to get up, no need to be polite.

"When Mama Qiushuang came over suddenly, was there anything wrong?"

Qiushuang nodded, looked at Nie Zhaoyi who was in a wheelchair, and did not speak immediately, but closed the door unhurriedly.

A trace of doubt crossed Nie Zhaoyi's face, "What is this for?" ”

Qiu Shuang turned around, and the moment she closed the door, her face had already changed.

"The slave is here to answer the questions of the five princes."

Nie Zhaoyi's heart sank, "You stole the letter?" ”

Qiushuang laughed, "The five princes are really keen, that's right, the letter was indeed taken away quietly by the slave maid when the five princes went to see the emperor." ”

"Why are you doing that?" Nie Zhaoyi stared at Qiu Shuang.

"Naturally, I acted on the orders of the emperor." Autumn Frost replied.

Nie Zhaoyi's pupils contracted suddenly, "You mean that all this was arranged by the imperial brother?" But looking at him, he doesn't seem to know the existence of this letter. ”

Qiushuang sighed, "Fifth Prince, although the emperor ordered you to divert to Zangcui Mountain, but now that something like this has happened, the emperor is naturally unwilling to admit this mistake. ”

Nie Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and quickly twisted his brows.

There will be no problem with the jade seal on the letter, if it is really Nie Shiyu's decision-making mistake and he is unwilling to admit it, it makes sense.

Raising his eyes to look at Qiu Shuang, Nie Zhaoyi laughed suddenly after a while.

"I didn't expect Nie Shiyu to miscalculate, he believed the wrong person, who were you planting beside him, Lin Zhenghong? Or Empress Dowager Lin? ”

Qiushuang also laughed, "The fifth prince doesn't believe the words of the slave?" ”

"Nie Shiyu is by no means such a shameless person, not to mention, if he really wants to blame this prince for this matter, and say that this prince insists on going his own way, then there is no need to risk saving this prince on Zangcui Mountain, wouldn't it be better to die without proof! So ......"

Nie Zhaoyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, the internal force in his hand was condensed, and his tone was threatening.

"Tell me honestly, who the hell did you plant next to Nie Shiyu!"

"It's really a brotherhood, but it's a pity, whether the five princes believe it or not, the slave can only ...... tonight You're on your way! ”

Qiu Shuang quickly raised his hand and pressed it on his wrist, and more than a dozen poisonous needles shot out suddenly, heading straight for Nie Zhaoyi.

The latter was shocked, and immediately used internal force to urge the wheelchair, barely avoiding the first wave of poisonous needles.

Qiu Shuang did not hesitate to shoot the second wave again, Nie Zhaoyi wanted to dodge, but the wheelchair just hit the table, the wooden wheel was stuck, and his movement was blocked for a while.

He slapped his palm on the table next to him to borrow his strength, and the whole person jumped out of the wheelchair, although he avoided the second wave of poisonous needles, but also fell to the wall.

Qiushuang's murderous heart is firm, and she takes advantage of the secret weapon without the slightest hesitation.

The third wave of poisonous needles struck again, and Nie Zhao was easy to avoid.

In the next moment, a palm wind opened the window, and a long cloth flew in from the window, enveloping all the poisonous needles.

At the same time, an internal force hit Qiushuang, and the hidden weapon tied to her wrist fell.

"Who!" Autumn Frost's complexion changed suddenly.

Shi Yu and Jing Heng appeared at the window.

Shi Yu had no joy or anger in his eyes, just looked at Qiushuang and said lightly.

"Aunt Frost, it's really you."

The moment she saw Shi Yu, Qiu Shuang's whole person was shocked, but soon she reacted again, "The emperor has been hiding in secret? ”

"Yes." Shi Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, "Tonight's celebration banquet is for you, Aunt Shuang." ”

If you don't find a reason for everyone to get together, how can you give Qiushuang a chance to do it.

The door opened, Qiu Shuang was restrained by Chasing Yun, and Nie Zhaoyi was also helped up and sat back in the wheelchair.

Nie Zhaoyi looked at Shi Yu, his face was still a little pale, but his heart was greatly relieved.

"Brother Huang has already found out that there is a problem with Autumn Frost?"

"Until tonight, it was nothing more than suspicion. But now, it's completely confirmed. ”

"When did the emperor start to suspect slaves?" Qiushuang was held on the ground, full of puzzlement.

She has been with the emperor for many years, and with her understanding of the emperor, even if she is not the emperor's most trusted person, the emperor will never doubt her!

"Aunt Shuang, do you remember what you said when you first returned to the palace?" Shi Yu's gaze fell on Qiushuang's face.

Seeing her puzzled face, she continued, "At that time, you said that you felt that I had become very different. ”

Qiushuang remembered, "The slave did say such a thing at that time. ”

Shi Yu smiled faintly, "So, how can Aunt Shuang still regard me as the Nie Shiyu in the past." ”

At the beginning, she really never doubted Qiushuang, but she was not the main owner after all, and she never had unconditional trust in Qiushuang.

Later, in the matter of disaster relief candidates, although Qiushuang showed restraint, she still felt the other party's unusual concern.

In addition, the Lin family's attitude was surprisingly calm after learning that Nie Zhaoyi had provided disaster relief, and since then she has suspected that this disaster relief will not go so smoothly.

More importantly......

Even the Lin family didn't know that she was a woman, which shows the caution of Empress Dowager Lin.

If she wasn't completely sure, even if she thought that she could threaten herself with autumn frost, it would be difficult for Empress Dowager Lin to let her live for so many years, not to mention that she was released from the palace and imprisoned.

It shows that Empress Dowager Lin is absolutely sure that Qiushuang will never leak secrets!

Shi Yu didn't say this, just looked at Qiushuang and continued.

"Aunt Frost is really careful, I don't even know when you forged the letter stamped with the jade seal. I didn't expect that this matter would involve Li Changqing. ”

If she didn't guess wrong, it was Qiushuang who sent the message to Li Changqing.

The other party may not want his own life, but once he meets Nie Zhaoyi and sees the forged letter, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

What Qiu Shuang wanted was to stop Nie Zhaoyi from taking out the letter, of course, if he could take the opportunity to get rid of Nie Zhaoyi and make the diversion completely his responsibility, it would be even better.

However, since Li Changqing can be contacted......

Shi Yu's eyes sank, "Is there any collusion between Queen Mother and Nie Zhixuan?" ”
