"I was born as Li Hengyao's person, and I died as Li Hengyao's ghost. Liu Yu said unwillingly.

"Bold!" Kangxi said angrily.

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!"

Liu Yu knelt on her knees and her back was straight, Kangxi stared at her for a while, and when she saw that she was not convinced, she shook her hand angrily and turned her back.

After that, Kangxi has been criticizing and folding in the imperial study, treating Liu Yu as air. Liu Yu was still unwilling to give in, and still knelt in place.

Waiting for Li Dequan outside, he came in quietly and said to Kangxi: "It's time for the emperor to eat." ”

Only then did Kangxi put down the folds in his hand and followed Li Dequan to the side hall for dinner.

When he finished eating, he saw that Liu Yu was still kneeling in place, his heart softened, and he said softly: "You go back and think about it, don't rush back to me." ”

Liu Yu looked at Li Dequan, who was following behind the emperor, and did not refute. After saluting Kangxi, he limped out of the imperial study.

After Liu Yu returned home, he stuffed himself in the study all day, and the housekeeper called Liu Yu twice and did not open the door, so he could only leave the food at the door.

When I went to collect it in the evening, I found that the food box placed at the door had not been moved, and after opening it, I saw that the food was untouched, so I could only helplessly leave with two food boxes.

The next day, Liu Yu went to his room to wash up, and continued to go to the palace to be on duty, as if nothing had happened.

Kangxi also seemed to have forgotten about the concubine, and never mentioned it again. This made Liu Yu secretly relieved.

It wasn't until three months later that Liu Yu heard that Li Hengyao had died in Moxi, and the cause of death was unsuitability.

Liu Yu didn't believe it, she wanted to question Kangxi, but she didn't know Li Hengyao's situation in Moxi, and the real cause of death.

Among the palace guards, she has no particularly good relationship. Nalan Rongruo, the only one who was good to her, also passed away two years ago, and she didn't even see her for the last time.

Liu Yu had no source in Moxi, so he could only find a way from elsewhere.

Suddenly, Liu Yu thought of the token of the Jinyi Guard's command history placed in the space, and he didn't know if this token was still useful, and how many Jinyi Guards could be mobilized.

On this day, Liu Yu took out the token from the space and looked at it carefully, and found that there was a pattern on it that he had never seen before, guessing that this should have a special meaning.

So I wanted to go out of the house to see if I could find the same pattern anywhere, after getting rid of the dark guards who were tracking.

Liu Yu memorized the pattern on the token and found it on various streets in the capital. After running three streets, I saw the same pattern in front of an inconspicuous shop on West Street.

This is a wine shop, and there is a small pattern in the upper left corner of the sign of the wine shop, Liu Yu carefully compared, and it is indeed the same as the pattern on her token.

Liu Yu walked into the store and saw that there were wine vasks of various sizes everywhere in the store, and there was only one shopkeeper in it, who was sleeping behind the counter with his head propped up by his hands.

Liu Yu knocked on the counter with his hand and said in the shopkeeper's ear: "Shopkeeper, come to business!"

The shopkeeper was shouted by Liu Yu like this, his head almost hit the counter, he looked up at Liu Yu in front of him, and said to her with a smile: "Guest, what kind of wine do you want to play?"

Liu Yu didn't speak, but looked left and right, and showed a corner of the token of the brocade guard envoy from his sleeve to the shopkeeper.

Then he asked, "Do you still know the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale when he saw the token, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter, closed the door and pulled Liu Yu into the inner room.

Then he knelt down on one knee and said, "Jinyi Wei Mu Yanping pays a visit to the Wei Envoy." ”

"Lord Mu, please get up, I came here this time to ask you to help find out a person named Li Hengyao, is he dead or alive now, if he dies, what is the cause of his death?" Liu Yu said after helping Mu Yanping up from the ground.

"Yes, sir. However, Moxi is too far away, and there are not many people in Jinyiwei over there, so it may take a long time to find out the truth of the matter. ”

"How long will it take?"

"It is estimated that it will take between half a month and a month. ”

"Okay, let's go check it out! I'll come back again in half a month. ”

"Good. ”

After finishing the business, Liu Yu asked the shopkeeper to give her two catties of good wine, and left the wine shop after paying the silver.

Half a month later, Liu Yu got rid of the secret guard who was following her and came to the wine shop again.

In the wine shop, there was still the shopkeeper named Mu Yanping, who saw Liu Yu coming over and warmly received her, and secretly put a piece of paper in Liu Yu's hand.

Liu Yu quietly moved the note into the space and asked the shopkeeper to give her two catties of good wine to take away.

The shopkeeper replied loudly, "Okay! ”

After making the wine, Liu Yu still paid the silver and left with the wine jug.

Liu Yu returned to the house with the wine jug, impatiently handed the wine jug to the housekeeper, and hid in the book to take out the note to read.

The note wrote about Li Hengyao's journey to Moxi and his life after arriving in Moxi. The reason for Li Hengyao's death was also written above.

The letter said: After Li Hengyao arrived in Moxi, he vomited due to water and soil adaptation, and later contracted the wind cold.

Not long after he was done, he was sent to measure the land, and in the process, he ate dry food and barbecued meat every day, causing diarrhea.

However, there was no doctor on the way, and the companion went to the mountains to collect medicine and died soon after.

When Zhou Peigong learned the news and asked the doctor to see it, he learned that Li Hengyao died by mistake.

When Liu Yu saw this, she couldn't sit still. He hurriedly left Liufu with his sword and came to the gate of the palace where he often walked, but was stopped by the guards.

The guards knew Liu Yu, but at this time Liu Yu was already on duty, and no one was allowed to enter the palace without a summons from the emperor.

Liu Yu had no choice but to leave, and in the middle of the night, Liu Yu flew past the palace gate without alarming the palace gate guards. Liu Yu came to the Qianqing Palace familiarly, and the eunuch guarding the door stopped Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was in a hurry to see the emperor, pushed the eunuch who was blocking the way away, and stepped directly into the main hall, Li Dequan, who was guarding Kangxi's side, saw that Liu Yu broke into the main hall without being summoned, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

was stopped by the emperor, and Kangxi asked Li Dequan to step down. Li Dequan obeyed the order and withdrew from the main hall with all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace.

"Why do you want to break into the Qing Palace?" Kangxi put down the music in his hand and asked Liu Yu.

"Did you kill Li Hengyao?" asked Liu Yu loudly. Liu Yu was very sad, although she knew that it was wrong to break into the palace in the middle of the night, she still wanted to ask Kangxi in person.

"You're questioning me?"

"Nope. ”

"You have, he, Li Hengyao, is just a minion, it is worth your disregard for the crime of killing your head and breaking into the palace in the middle of the night to question me. ”

"He's not a minion. ”

"In my eyes, he's a minion. ”

The sound of "snap" stunned Kangxi and Liu Yu. also alarmed the eunuchs and palace maids guarding the palace.

When Li Dequan pushed the door in, he saw the emperor wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and there was an obvious slap mark on his face.

And the Liu guard was staring at his hand, looking a little incredulous.

Li Dequan knew what was going on at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor, instructed the palace maid to go down to prepare water, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of the emperor's mouth.

was about to say something, but was stopped by Kangxi and said to Li Dequan: "Don't spread what happened just now." ”

"Your Majesty, if you commit a crime under the guards, you should be punished according to the crime!" Li Dequan said disagreeing.
