On April 13, the sun was mild but not light.

The sky was blue, without a trace of clouds.

Today is the day of Emperor Qin Ming's spring draft.

Unlike previous years, due to excessive losses in the war, the scale of this time was not as grand as in previous years.

Pomegranate flowers are arranged on the high platform.

Looking at the nine women in front of him, Emperor Qin Ming lost his previous interest.

The woman in the blue gauze skirt is the most moving, but there is a high probability that the talent is the worst.

Sure enough, when it was time to show his talents, Emperor Qin Ming frowned slightly.

The rhythm is not accurate, the singing is out of tune, and it is not qualified to do chores in the Taile Department!

However, the little hands that played the pipa were as soft and tender, and their faces were so beautiful in the sun that they were shining.

Clever smile, beautiful eyes.

The petal-like cherry mouths open and close.

At this moment, it seems that everything you sing is important.

"Chenxuan, where is that person?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this show girl's name is Ge Jingci, and she is the second lady of the Wei family in Wagang Ge County, and she is worth nineteen years old."

Emperor Qin Ming nodded, the county lieutenant of the small place couldn't remember the name at all.

"What does it have to do with the ministers of the DPRK and China?"

"Back to Your Majesty, within three generations, there are no relatives who are officials in the court."

Emperor Qin Ming snorted and said directly: "Give it to Han'er." ”

Chenxuan was stunned for a moment, this matter was unique.

His brain seemed to be delayed for a moment, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Although it is understandable that His Majesty gave his son a ration, for so many years, Emperor Qin Ming has never made such a will.

"Oh, Your Majesty."

Chenxuan stepped aside and remained silent.

Finally, the last show girl was also performed.

Emperor Qin Ming was a little tired, waved his hand, and said directly to return to the palace.

Your Majesty is absolutely abnormal!

Chen Xuan walked to Jing Lan's side in the distance, explained a few words, and then returned to Emperor Qin Ming's side.

Obviously, Jinglan didn't expect that no one in today's draft would be in His Majesty's eyes.

Moreover, His Majesty actually wanted to give Ge Jing porcelain to King Han.

Unheard-of!

Emperor Qin Ming sat on the chariot with his eyes half-closed.

He wanted to kill Zhen Qiang, but he didn't expect that there would be turmoil in Zhuocheng in the past few days.

That's Zhen Weizhi's territory, is this a protest to himself?

"Go to the Ming Palace."

Chen Xuan was slightly stunned.

Yeming Palace is a cold palace, and Zhen Qiang is locked in it.

This is the first woman to be beaten into the cold palace after Emperor Qin Ming ascended the throne, and she is still the former queen.

Chen Xuan cleared his throat and shouted: "Swing the Ming Palace~"

A group of convoys marched towards the Yeming Palace again.

Zhen Qiang, who was sitting in front of the dresser, was staring at the mirror in a daze.

The bronze mirror is full of rust spots, and he can't see his face clearly at all.

But it's okay to do this, I can't see my aging, and I'm still the same as when I first entered the palace.

Hearing the sound of His Majesty coming, Zhen Qiang couldn't help but laugh.

She smeared her bloodless lips with a brilliant crimson.

Emperor Qin Ming walked in with a steady pace.

"Concubine to see Your Majesty."

Zhen Qiang respectfully blessed her body, and she was still the queen's momentum.

Emperor Qin Ming swept her face, and her bright red lips could be compared to today's show girl.

It's just that at this age, this kind of red is still smeared, what kind of red lips and jade face.

It's a bloody mouth!

"Your Majesty, in today's draft, how many show girls were selected in the end?"

Zhen Qiang poured a cup of tea and served it over, in previous years' drafts, she accompanied Emperor Qin Ming.

But this time, she is no longer the queen, but also in the cold palace, completely ignorant of the movements of the outside world.

Looking at the tea she brought over, Emperor Qin Ming directly overthrew it with one palm.

Zhen Qiang instinctively sighed, and then fell to her knees.

The teacup rolled to the ground and didn't break, but the teatray that flew into the corner was smashed into two pieces.

"Poisonous woman, how dare I drink the tea you served!"

Zhen Qiang lowered her head and sneered.

"Your Majesty's anger is not small."

The old lady on the side was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and she held her breath and wiped the tea on the ground lightly.

"Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"The concubine is not afraid of death. Anyway, Zhe'er was demoted to a concubine by you, and she didn't have any thoughts about being a concubine. ”

Emperor Qin Ming was furious, obviously he was the good son she taught!

"Chenxuan, palm mouth."

"Whoa."

Chenxuan nodded to the guard at the door.

The snapping slap echoed in the Yeming Palace one after another.

Zhen Qiang didn't cry either, closed her eyes and let the guards beat.

I don't know how many mouths he flicked, Emperor Qin Ming finally raised his hand.

Chenxuan's shrill voice sounded.

"Stop—"

The hairpin on Zhen Qiang's head was crooked to the side, and there were a few strands of green silk under the corners of her sideburns.

The cheeks are red, and the right cheek is swollen higher than the left.

The red on the lips becomes mottled.

Emperor Qin Ming stared at her, and this appearance made him feel a little more comfortable.

Zhen Qiang brushed her scattered hair behind her ears and couldn't help but sneer again.

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish the concubine, next time you will directly ask the eunuch to bring the guards. Your Majesty has every opportunity and works hard for state affairs, so why bother to come here with all the people. ”

Emperor Qin Ming looked at her coldly, it turned out that this was her expression when she took off her disguise.

"I really underestimated you. Really, underestimating you—"

Thinking of the names on the booklet, Emperor Qin Ming's heart was like a knife, those were his heirs!

He let out a long breath, and there was no need to ask the repetitive question again.

"I only have one question, and you answer it honestly."

Zhen Qiang looked up at him, everything that should have been said had already been said, what else was there to ask!

"Why did you kill your own sister?"

Zhen Qiang sneered.

"Your Majesty's people are also too inefficient. Haven't they found anything yet? ”

"Gao Feng is dead."

A hint of loneliness flashed in Zhen Qiang's eyes.

"Your Majesty is too anxious to kill."

"I know you have an affair with him!"

"There is no concubine."

Zhen Qiang did not shy away from meeting Emperor Qin Ming's eyes.

"Put away your acting skills, I won't believe you."

"What should be admitted, the concubine has admitted it. If the concubine didn't do it, she naturally wouldn't admit it. ”

"What's your name? Want to get away with it?! ”

Zhen Qiang closed her mouth and looked at him expressionlessly.

"I ask you again, why did you kill Zhen Jingzhi!"

"She is not the heir of His Majesty."

Emperor Qin Ming lowered his eyes and snorted coldly.

This woman dares to make up anything!

He slowly stood up, stepped in front of Zhen Qiang, and grabbed her neck.

Chen Xuan stroked the Buddha dust in his hand, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Woo woo –

Zhen Qiang's entire face turned the color of pig liver, and the green tendons on her forehead burst out, but she still stared at Emperor Qin Ming without fear.

Tears from the corners of her eyes slid down the back of Emperor Qin Ming's hand.

Emperor Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and lowered his hand.

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, you will be thrown to the inner chamberlain next to you immediately. ”

Zhen Qiang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yeming Palace is very close to the Inner Servant Province, which is the place to deal with negligent palace maids.

In the dead of night, she could hear the screams coming from there.

Dying, like the last cry before death.

"Your Majesty, in that booklet. The other concubines were miscarriages, but—"

Zhen Qiang lowered her eyes, she didn't want to kill her sister, she was just worried about the incident in the east window, and she was afraid that the entire family would be implicated.

At that time, even if Emperor Qin Ming does not blame himself, he will definitely have no hope of becoming the queen.

"It's not a soup for my sister, it's ... Crane top red. ”

After saying that, Zhen Qiang closed her eyes, and she couldn't help crying.

That's her beloved sister too.

Emperor Qin Ming leaned back on the rose chair, without the anger just now.

This is the first time Zhen Qiang has cried so embarrassed, even when she pleaded for Zhe'er, she tried to maintain her beautiful appearance.

She's false!

Emperor Qin Ming was unwilling to accept such a fact.

He got up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the palace." ”

As soon as Bu Yuan left the Ming Palace, Emperor Qin Ming immediately said: "Go to the imperial study, Xuan Zhenxuan." ”

Chen Xuan immediately agreed, and then ordered the little eunuch on the side.

However, at this time, Zhenjuan was not in the palace hall, but in the criminal department.

After Zhenjuan entered the palace, it was already evening.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Wechen is late."

Emperor Qin Ming waved his hand and pushed away the twists and turns in front of him, leaning back slightly and closing his eyes.

"Zhen Qiang's matter, how is it going?"

Zhenwan swallowed her saliva, she had been working for several days in a row, and her hair was about to fall out.

Sure enough, the father is more ruthless than his son, the key is to see Gao Feng unhappy, and directly kill to vent his anger.

There are still a lot of things that haven't been explained...

"Weichen visited the palace maids who used to serve in the palace, and the time in the book generally coincides."

Emperor Qin Ming's lips tightened, every time he mentioned it, he wanted to take a piece of meat off Zhen Qiang's body!

"Strike. What can you find out about Zhen Jingzhi? ”

Zhenwan frowned, he knew that His Majesty loved Zhen Jingzhi very much back then.

"Back to Your Majesty. Regarding Zhen Jieyu, Weichen felt that the cause of death that year was a little strange. The other concubines all had miscarriages, and Zhen Jieyu's records said that she died violently, and there seemed to be no signs of miscarriages. ”

Emperor Qin Ming's face was so cloudy that it could be dripping.

Zhen Wan stubbornly continued: "Weichen sent someone to visit Gao Feng's ancestral home. It is said that there was a twin named Goldman Sachs back then. Not long after the elder brother entered the palace, the younger brother also went to the capital, and there was no news after that. ”

"Where are the two of them from?"

"Back to Your Majesty. Like Zhen Qiang, they are all from Zhuocheng. Weichen found out that the two were not nobles in the local area, but they were also middle-class families. ”

Zhen Juan took a deep breath and said with bated breath: "It is said that Goldman Sachs back then... and Zhen Jieyu secretly have feelings for ......"

Emperor Qin Ming was furious, grabbed the green jade three-goose pen holder on the desk, and smashed it to the ground.

Suddenly the three geese turned into a goose and a pair of geese.

The eunuchs in the imperial study fell to their knees.

Chen Xuan and Zhen Juan shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is angry! ”

At this moment, Emperor Qin Ming was not only angry, but also very regretful.

Gao Feng was in a hurry, and suddenly he suspected that it might not be Gao Feng but Goldman Sachs who died in prison!

Emperor Qin Ming's breathing became more and more rapid, and suddenly a smell of blood surged in his chest.

Poof-

"Your Majesty!"

Just when Emperor Qin Ming's side was in chaos, the Han Wangfu was not much better.

Qin Shuihan's face was also so cloudy that he could drip water, and it seemed that there would be a torrential rain in the next second.

"What does Jing Shilang mean is that Junze Pavilion has a very good background, and he can't find out anything?"

"Back to King Han, Qinglang had an accident in the Junze Pavilion. In the early hours of that morning, after the guests had dispersed, he went upstairs to rest. It didn't seem to be long before several men in black infiltrated the museum. But according to Weichen's view, in the room where Qinglang lived, there was no trace of broken window railing, and he should have entered through the main entrance. ”

Qin Shuihan's brows tightened, he remembered the layout of the Junze Pavilion, at least the person who hurt Qinglang must have the tacit approval of the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper, have you checked his identity?"

Jingwen couldn't help but slap his palm, and then realized that something was wrong, and immediately showed a flattering smile.

"King Han forgives sins. Wechen thinks you are so wise! Weichen also checked for a long time before finding out that there was a problem with the shopkeeper——"

Xuan Feng glanced at Jing Wen.

This squire is about thirty years old, and he has no sense of calm and stability at all, and his facial expressions are colorful, and all his emotions are written on his face.

Jingwen's eyes lit up.

"King Han, the shopkeeper's name is Tai Qihuan, and he has a distant cousin, Tai'an, the eunuch of the first emperor. Although Wechen didn't know what the connection was, fortunately Qinglang was only injured, and it is said that after that day, there were two more women missing in the Junze Pavilion. One is Oiran Asahidan, and the other is Mingli, who has a very good relationship with Qinglang. ”

Qin Shuihan's gaze was not as gloomy as just now, he just looked at Jing Wen quietly, waiting for his next step.

Being stared at like this by Qin Shuihan, Jingwen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"King Han, Weichen... That's all I found..."

"That's all?"

Jingwen nodded.

Qin Shuihan's eyes fell in an instant, but when he thought of the shopkeeper, he also knew that this matter was not so easy.

"Fortunately, the squire is bitter."

Sending Jingwen away, Qin Shuihan immediately sent the book to the Wind Shadow Pavilion.

"Xuanfeng, is Qinglang in good condition?"

"Dr. Ma healed, and the recovery is okay, but his mother is afraid that time is running out."

"Talk to Zhao Dongsheng and let him protect Qinglang, I'm afraid someone will attack him."

Xuan Feng frowned, it seemed that there had been a lot of trivial things recently, and none of them went well.

"Yes, master, my subordinates will go."

Just as Xuan Feng was about to leave, Steward Wu walked in.

"Lord Wang. Gonggong Li dictated and gave the show girl Ge Jing porcelain to King Han. ”

Xuan Feng stopped and couldn't help but look at Qin Shuihan.

"Ridiculous!"

"Lord Wang, the person has been sent to the house."

Qin Shui snorted coldly and called out Xuanfeng.

"Give me a change of clothes, I want to enter the palace."
