Chapter Twenty-Five: The Drunkard's Intention Is Not to Drink

Cloud Palace.

"Your Majesty."

Taiqing walked slowly into the hall from Jingyao and saluted respectfully.

"Let's be flat."

The empress nodded and raised her hand slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Jingyao thanked her and got up slowly, with a soft smile on her face, looking gentle and lovely, and her gestures were quite like the empress's youth.

"Why are you here? Something? ”

With a satisfied smile on her face, the empress asked softly, and the anger between her eyebrows and eyes had gradually dissipated.

In the entire palace, the empress will show her virtuous side almost only in front of her daughter Li Jingyao, and the majesty of the emperor will be appropriately restrained, perhaps because Li Jingyao is her most important person and the successor to the next emperor's throne.

"Erchen heard that Leng Zhenfu made Lan Ying under his command be killed in the Nine Nether Realm, and it seems to be related to the Wuji Tower of the Nine Nether Realm, so he specially came to take a look and see if there was anything that could help."

Li Jingyao glanced at Leng Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Weichen is flattered."

When Leng Yue heard this, she hurriedly bowed her hand and looked grateful.

"Leng Zhenfu is serious, you are the most trusted person of Your Majesty, and the Five Elements Division is a confidential department of the court, how can this palace stand by as a Taiqing."

Li Jingyao turned her head to look at Leng Yue and said with a sincere face.

"What? Do you want to meddle in this matter? ”

The empress looked at her daughter and asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, Erchen really has this intention."

"I wonder if this matter has been confirmed to be related to Wuji Building? Did any evidence be found? ”

Li Jingyao smiled and arched her hand and asked slowly.

"Returning to His Royal Highness, no evidence was found, but Wei Chen can almost conclude that this matter is absolutely inseparable from Wuji Building."

Leng Yue arched her hand and said confidently.

"Almost?"

"That is, there is no evidence, is it that Leng Zhenfu usually relies on speculation to judge cases?"

Li Jingyao looked at Leng Yue again, revealing a face full of curiosity.

"This..."

When Leng Yue heard this, she didn't know how to answer for a while, and she was in a dilemma.

"Jing'er, what do you think?"

The Empress smiled and interrupted the conversation.

"Back to Your Majesty, Erchen has long heard that there is a Wuji Building in the Nine Nether Realm, and it is known to the capital in less than half a month, and everyone knows that there is a Wuji son in the building, with a dignified appearance and extraordinary manners, I heard that he also plays the piano well, and is even called the Qin Immortal, and he has long wanted to see it."

Li Jingyao bowed to the empress and smiled smartly.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

When the empress heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she looked at Leng Yue curiously.

"Hui Empress, there are indeed such rumors."

Leng Yue frowned, telling the truth.

"Even the Leng Zhen Fu envoy has said it, then it is clear that there is such a thing, since this is the case, Erchen is willing to go in person, if this person really kills Lan Ying, Erchen will take him down immediately!"

"But if this person is wronged, then there is no need for the Five Elements Division to come forward, if he has some talents, he may be able to serve the imperial court."

Li Jingyao bowed slightly, took the initiative to ask for help, and her face was full of piety.

"The Nine Netherworld is mixed, it's not a good place, as Taiqing, how can you get to that dirty place?"

The empress hesitated for a moment, then said contemplatively.

"If this person is really talented, wouldn't it be a pity to abandon him? Don't worry, Erchen will bring more people with him, and it will be fine. ”

Li Jingyao said confidently.

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

"Taiqing's status is noble, how can he be in danger? If that Wuji Gongzi is really away from Wuji, I am afraid it will threaten Taiqing's safety. ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember that Pang Xun is following... Before Pang Xun became a national teacher, he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he was very good at the art of disguise, and Li Wuji was deeply taught by Pang Xun in the heavenly prison, Wei Chen suspected that the Wuji prince that Lan Ying saw that day was changed by Li Wuji's disguise! ”

Seeing that the empress was about to agree to Li Jingyao's request, Leng Yue hurriedly spoke again.

However, in a moment's urgency, he almost blurted out the word first emperor, and hurriedly changed his words after noticing the gaffe, otherwise it would definitely attract the wrath of the empress.

In today's court, speech such as the former emperor, the crown prince, and the emperor's grandson is strictly forbidden, and once you lose your words, it will inevitably lead to disaster.

"Cold Calm Envoy! Bengong has just said that he will personally go to the Wuji Building to find out, what do you mean?! ”

"The Five Elements Division has been tracking down Wuji for many days, but has there been any progress?! I'm afraid I don't have a clue until now, right?! And one after another, there are subordinates who have died in the Nine Nether Realm, how many more people do you want to send to their lives?! ”

"Or do you believe that this palace can do it?!"

After listening to Leng Yue's words, without waiting for the empress to speak, Li Jingyao had already turned to look at Leng Yue, and asked dissatisfiedly, the gentle smile on her face had slowly disappeared.

"Weichen doesn't dare!"

Leng Yue shrank her neck and hurriedly defended.

"Okay, since Jing'er wants to worry about me, then I'll leave this matter to you, but you must pay attention to safety."

The empress waved her hand, stopped the two arguing, and said slowly.

"Weichen is willing to lead the Five Elements Division to accompany him, and His Royal Highness Bao Taiqing is thoughtful!"

Leng Yue hurriedly asked for instructions.

"No need! The guards under the command of this palace are not vegetarians, so they don't bother to be coldly appeased. ”

Li Jingyao shook her head and refused, and that gentle smile resurfaced on her face.

Listening to Li Jingyao's words, Leng Yue lowered her head and stopped talking, but a look of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

She knew that she was going to leave Jingyao, probably not necessarily to track down Li Wuji, but to go to Wuji Gongzi.

As we all know, in this palace, Li Jingyao's preferences are almost the same as those of the empress, especially for male favorites.

In the entire East Palace, there are countless male pets who have been included in the command of Li Jingyao, and all of them are talents, both literate and martial, and can sing and dance.

If Wuji Gongzi is favored by Taiqing, and then wants to move Wuji Tower, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

...

Prince's Palace.

King Lin Liyuan was sitting in the garden pavilion, teasing the caged bird, very happy.

Several maids stood respectfully aside, some serving tea, some holding porcelain plates in their hands, and all kinds of melons and fruits in the plates, serving them closely.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came, and Pang Mo, the head of the palace, slowly walked to the pavilion and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Wang, there was another interesting incident in the Nine Netherworld yesterday, which is related to the Five Elements Division."

Pang Mo said with a smile as he saluted, with a hint of schadenfreude on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Interesting? ”

"Tell me about it."

Li Yuan tilted his head and glanced at Pang Mo, continued to tease the caged bird, and said with interest.

"I heard that Lan Ying under the command of Leng Yue was suddenly assassinated when he was on a mission in the Nine Nether Realm, a total of eighteen people, and none of them survived."

Pang Mo arched his hand and deliberately lowered his voice and said.

"Is this the thing? Who is so bold? How dare you offend the Five Elements Division? ”

Liyuan's eyes lit up, stopped what he was doing, and asked with great interest.

"It seems that the origin of the murderer has not been found, but today it is rumored that Lan Ying had been to Wuji Building before he was killed, and there was a conflict between the two sides, and people are speculating that this matter is likely to be related to Wuji Building, and now it has been rumored, and everyone is curious about where that Wuji son is sacred."

Pommer continued.

"Looks like this guy is going to be unlucky."

Li Yuan shook his head and said with some regret.

"I'm afraid not."

Pang Mo said with a smile.

"Oh? Why? ”

Li Yuan was interested again and asked curiously.

"There is news that Taiqing has asked the empress for her life and will personally go to the Wuji Building to investigate."

Pang Mo smiled and said slowly, but it was obvious that he was half-talking.

"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink."

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Pang Mo nodded and said nothing more.

And Liyuan stopped talking about this topic, and began to tease the caged bird again, as if he really just regarded this matter as an interesting thing.

...

Nine Netherworlds.

Wuji Building.

While business was booming in the building, a group of unusual guests slowly walked in through the door, including men and women, some of whom still had weapons in their hands, and surrounded a woman in a purple robe.

The woman has a graceful figure, an angelic smile on her face, and a hint of nobility that cannot be concealed between her gestures.

With the appearance of this group of people, it immediately attracted the attention of Ji Wushuang, who was standing at the railing on the second floor...
