Cloud Palace.

"Exactly!"

Looking at the shocked empress, Leng Yue nodded affirmatively.

"Who is behind the scenes?!"

The empress froze and said in a deep voice, her gloomy face full of burning anger.

Yan Yuwei, as a royal forbidden army, would never do anything rebellious under normal circumstances, even if he had withdrawn from the ranks.

"According to the confession, the person who instructed them to assassinate was the former commander of Yan Yuwei, Cheng Zifeng!"

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment and said categorically.

Hearing Leng Yue's answer, a look of surprise flashed on the empress's face again, and her eyelids couldn't help but tremble.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the confession?!"

The empress was silent for a long time, and then asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, just in case, all the survivors have been interrogated by humble duty, and the confessions are consistent and confirmed."

Leng Yue replied affirmatively.

"I heard that Li'anhou was also gathering Xianju last night, is their goal to leave Anhou or Taiqing?"

The empress had a solemn face, and while pondering, she continued to ask.

"There is only one order they have received, and that is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, including the shopkeeper of Juxianju, the guys, everyone, etc., are not allowed to stay alive!"

Leng Yue paused for a moment and said slowly.

Listening to Leng Yue's answer, the empress frowned and fell into deep thought.

She originally thought that the killer was rushing to leave Anhou, and Taiqing just happened to appear there, so she was injured by mistake, but if what Leng Yue said was true, she really couldn't think of why Cheng Zifeng would do this.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the target of the killer is very likely to be Li'anhou, there must have been something between him and Cheng Zifeng, and what kind of grudge he has formed."

"Although Cheng Zifeng is no longer in Yan Yuwei, it is impossible for him to assassinate His Royal Highness Taiqing so blatantly."

"Perhaps, His Royal Highness Taiqing was inadvertently deceived by Li Wuji to go to Juxian Residence, and wanted to divert his attention! Cover up what! ”

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally said the guess in her heart.

But after listening to Leng Yue's words, the empress glanced at Leng Yue, and the suspicion of leaving Anhou in her heart was not so sure.

She knew the grievances and grievances between Leng Yue and Li'anhou, and felt that Leng Yue was taking the opportunity to deliberately frame Li'anhou to avenge her personal revenge.

"I know."

"Yes or no, just arrest Cheng Zifeng and ask!"

"You get out of the palace quickly and bring Cheng Zifeng to see me!"

After hesitating for a moment, the empress nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Cheng Zifeng can't come."

Leng Yue shook her head and replied slowly.

"Why?"

The empress was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzled.

"After the Juxianju incident last night, Li'an Hou directly took Du Yingwei to copy Cheng's house, Cheng Zifeng was killed, and all of Cheng Zhai's people were detained by Du Yingwei!"

Leng Yue arched her hand and said in a fifteen-ten.

"What?!"

After hearing this, the empress was stunned again, and the doubts in her heart deepened.

Looking at the empress's angry expression, Leng Yue hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the little guess in her heart.

Judging from the empress's reaction just now, she knew that the empress didn't believe her words at all, and the more she spoke, the more counterproductive it would be.

"Spread my will and let Luo Ping enter the palace immediately!"

The empress calmly said loudly.

Ye Han, who was standing outside the hall, appeared at the door in a flash, and after respectfully agreeing, he immediately led people to the Duying Guard Yamen.

Not long after, Luo Ping hurriedly entered the palace by order and entered the Yunxiao Palace in a panic.

"Humble Luo Ping, see Your Majesty!"

Luo Ping peeked at Leng Yue on the side, hurriedly saluted respectfully, and said loudly.

"Cheng Zifeng is dead?!"

The empress looked coldly at Luo Ping, who was already flustered without waiting for a question, and asked in a deep voice.

“... Be. ”

Luo Ping nodded nervously, and for a moment he didn't understand why the empress was so angry.

"How did you die?! Who let you do it without permission?! ”

The empress narrowed her eyes and continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, he... He died at the hands of Li'anhou..."

Luo Ping swallowed his saliva and replied tremblingly.

Looking at Leng Yue, who was standing motionless on the side, he had already guessed that Leng Yue had probably said something bad about himself in front of the empress.

In order to invite merit, he did not communicate with the Five Elements Division about what happened in Cheng's house.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Why did Li Anhou kill him?!"

The empress asked loudly with a calm face.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Taiqing was seriously injured at that time, and returned to the palace under the escort of the Five Elements Division, and stayed at the scene to check, and accidentally found that the identity of the killer was Yan Yuwei!"

"So I told Li'anhou, and after analyzing it with Li'anhou, I guessed that the main envoy was very likely to be the former commander of Yan Yuwei, Cheng Zifeng!"

"Due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to enter the palace to report, so he went to Cheng Zifeng's house with Li'anhou, and originally planned to personally hand him over to His Majesty for personal trial after he was detained..."

"But who would have thought that Cheng Zifeng would actually resist! Go straight to it! Fortunately, Anhou was also there, and he fought until he was seriously injured to kill Cheng Zifeng, who wanted to escape! ”

Luo Ping arched his hands and recounted the truth and falsehood of what happened in Cheng's house last night.

He didn't say anything about Anhou preventing him from entering the study, let alone saying that Anhou and Cheng Zifeng had been in the study for a long time before they had to fight.

Because he knows that it is best not to mention anything uncertain, otherwise he will be the only one who is unlucky in the end.

"Li'an Hou is injured?"

The empress was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly.

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty should know Cheng Zifeng's skills, if it weren't for Li Anhou's presence at the time, I'm afraid that his humble position wouldn't be able to stop him!"

After the battle, although Cheng Zifeng did not escape, Li Anhou was also seriously injured because of this, and he was also frightened at that time, and the knife was directly inserted into Li Anhou's heart! Blood was spilling everywhere! ”

"The humble official has been busy with interrogation, and he has not yet checked the Hou Mansion, and it is not known whether Anhou is alive or dead."

Luo Ping nodded heavily and said very seriously.

After listening to Luo Ping's explanation, a strange look flashed on the faces of the empress and Leng Yue at the same time, but they each had their own thoughts.

"You just said that you have been busy interrogating? The result? ”

The empress pondered for a moment and asked slowly, the expression on her face had eased a lot.

"Back to Your Majesty, after a sudden interrogation overnight, none of the people in the Cheng Mansion knew the true purpose of Cheng Zifeng's assassination of His Royal Highness Anhou and Taiqing."

"No one even knew it was going to happen."

Luo Ping arched his hand and said categorically.

"Got it."

"After leaving the palace for a while, I will go to Li'anhou's Mansion to see if Li'anhou is dead or alive, and then tell me the result."

"In addition, Cheng Zifeng is bold and intends to assassinate Taiqing, and the blame will not escape, and all the Cheng clan will be detained!"

The empress frowned and pondered for a while, then ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Luo Ping and Leng Yue agreed in unison, saluted, and slowly left the main hall.

As the two left, the empress frowned, her face was solemn, and she fell into deep thought again.

Footsteps sounded, and the black-robed man slowly walked out of the corner, glanced at the door of the main hall, and silently came to the empress's approach.

"What do you think?"

The empress glanced at the black-robed man and asked thoughtfully.

"According to the secret report, what the two of them just said should be true."

"It's just that whether this matter is caused by a personal grudge between Cheng Zifeng and Li Anhou, it is not yet known, once Cheng Zifeng dies, it may be difficult to find any clues."

"Your Majesty is also suspicious of Anhou, right?"

The black-robed man paused and asked slowly as he explained.

"This happened so suddenly, and it was too strange, and it was hard for me to believe that this incident had nothing to do with Li'anhou."

"The last time Qingping Painting Workshop happened, I still remember that it was with Anhou and Yao'er at that time."

The empress frowned and said thoughtfully.

"Maybe after His Royal Highness Taiqing recovers from his injury, His Majesty will find out if he asks."

The black-robed man hesitated for a moment and replied slowly.

"That's it, that's all it takes."

"But no matter what the reason, whether it is intentional or not, Cheng Zifeng almost killed Yao'er, it is a capital crime!"

"Besides, Cheng Zifeng is one of the few people who knows the old things fifteen years ago, maybe I shouldn't have kept him until now, and if he dies, I can rest assured."

The empress nodded, and said lightly while thinking.

As he spoke, an old story inadvertently appeared in his mind...
