When I left the Lingbao Temple, it was already less than three minutes (13:35).

Xu Qi'an entered the palace, asked the guards to pass the message, waited at the gate of the palace for a quarter of an hour, and waited for the little eunuch until four o'clock.

"Lord Xu, how are we going to check next?" the little eunuch asked.

"Go to Feng Palace to find the queen...... Seeing that the queen doesn't need to inform Your Majesty in advance, right?" Xu Qi'an said.

The little eunuch hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty said, in the harem, you can go wherever you want." Of course, the premise is that there are servants to accompany you, especially to see the concubine and the queen. ”

Xu Qi'an nodded.

If you want to see the emperor's woman, of course, you can't see it in private.

The full name of Fenggong is Fengqi Palace, and it is the largest and most luxurious palace in the harem - the emperor's dormitory is not counted.

When I came to Fengqi Palace, I learned that the queen was taking a nap, Xu Qi'an and the little eunuch waited in the corridor outside for half an hour, and a beautiful palace maid came to pass the word:

"The queen is awake, please let me go. ”

Xu Qi'an then entered the palace and met the queen of the world in the luxuriously furnished front hall, wearing a dark phoenix robe embroidered with gold silk and a gorgeous crown.

Dai's eyebrows are picturesque, her mouth line is plump, she is no longer young, but her face is full of collagen, and she does not look old at all. This adds the charm of a mature woman to her flawless prosperous beauty.

She can rank in the top two among the beauties I've seen, and Luo Yuheng ranks first, but the national teacher has her own charm and buff bonus, and the queen relies on her own hardware....... Such a woman is the queen, and there is no one in the harem who can fight.

Xu Qi'an hurriedly bowed his head and maintained the etiquette and rules that a foreign minister should have.

"Sure enough, young talent. ”

The queen is obviously also a face control, looking at Xu Qi'an, and nodding with satisfaction: "Huaiqing often mentions you in front of the palace and praises you. Your deeds of repeatedly solving strange cases in Beijing have also been heard of in this palace. ”

The first impression on both sides was good.

I don't know if Xu Qi'an feels good about himself, he feels that the queen admires him very much, and he doesn't see it at all.

"Wei Yuan is fortunate to have such an outstanding subordinate as you. The queen said softly: "Show tea to Lord Xu." ”

The palace maid served hot tea, Xu Qi'an took it with both hands, didn't drink it, and asked bluntly: "The humble position is here for the Fu Concubine case, and there are a few questions I want to ask the queen." ”

"Lord Xu, please ask. ”

"Do you know the palace maid Huang Xiaorou?"

"I don't know him. The queen shook her head.

"In the Niangniang Palace, is there a palace maid named He'er?"

"Yes. The queen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

Mama Rong of the Crab Pavilion said that four years ago, Huang Xiaorou committed suicide for no reason, and the palace maid who lived in the same room with her at that time saved her, and that palace maid was the lotus child in the Niangniang Palace. ”

"He'er has never been to Crab Pavilion. The queen directly denied it.

Xu Qi'an continued: "After the lowly autopsy, it was found that the palace maid Huang Xiaorou was mortally injured, and it was definitely not a palace maid who could save it, nor could it be saved by the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Department. It must have been an elixir to bring the dead back to life. ”

The queen stared at Xu Qi'an and said lightly: "Lord Xu's words, do you have a credential?"

"The corpse is the proof. ”

"What about the elixir?"

“...... No. Xu Qi'an shook his head.

The queen who tore up the records of the income and expenditure of the imperial pharmacy?

The queen nodded and said softly: "The palace is tired, send Lord Xu out of the palace." ”

Didn't you just finish your nap...... Xu Qi'an's lips twitched a few times, he got up helplessly, and left Fengqi Palace with the palace maid.

........

Xu Qi'an glanced at the sun, "Little father-in-law, has the list you collected been done?"

The little eunuch took out a folded piece of rice paper from his arms, "I'm about to hand it over to Lord Xu." ”

Yes, the work efficiency is very high, and it is worthy of being trained in the palace.

Xu Qi'an unfolded the list and glanced at it, and there were more than a dozen palace maids, errands, and guards listed on it.

"Let's follow the list above and check them one by one. Xu Qi'an said.

"Then the queen's ....."

"Naturally, it can't be checked. ”

Xu Qi'an sighed, although Emperor Yuan Jing gave him a lot of privileges, and he could check whoever he wanted, but the queen mother didn't cooperate when she was killed, and he Xu Qi'an couldn't overlord the bow.

However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, the queen has a ghost in her heart.

It can't really be the queen's doing, isn't that very pitiful. Shouldn't I look it up? But if you don't check, wouldn't it be very pitiful to mount it......? Xu Qi'an sighed silently in his heart.

But then again, the queen is really beautiful. When you are older, you still have such a charm, how beautiful you must be when you are young, no wonder you can become a queen.

Huaiqing is somewhat similar to the queen's eyebrows.

"In comparison, I still think Luo Yuheng is better because she can satisfy my many tastes...... Oh, Susu can too. ”

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but think of what Daoist Jin Lian said just now, Luo Yuheng has the appearance of all beings, so that men can see the one they like, and he is looking at a young woman with double ten, a young woman in thirty, and a mature woman in forty......

"I don't want to admit I'm. ”

In the next hour, Xu Qi arranged to check the people on the list, because of the limited time, he had to leave the palace before the palace closed, so he only had time to check a third of the time.

In the loud closing bell, he left the palace smoothly, took his little mare from Yu Linwei's hands, took back the black gold long knife given by the prisoner, and left the imperial city slowly.

At this time, the sunset is only shining.

The curfew began, the pedestrians on the street have long been extinct, Xu Qi'an is wearing a watchman uniform, and there is a gold medal by his side, except for the interior of the palace, the rest of the place is unimpeded.

"Dadada....."

The little mare walked slowly on the deserted street, and Xu Qi'an pondered the context of Concubine Fu's case.

Concubine Fu is the biggest victim in the whole case, and the victim used to frame the prince is Huang Xiaorou, who has been killed.

Huang Xiaorou was once seriously injured, but was cured by the queen, so the queen has a great favor to her.

The queen's four princes are concubines, and now the prince is a concubine, and the queen is unwilling to let the prince's position be left to others, so she set up a trick to frame the prince and regain the position of the East Palace.

The motive is clear, and the whole case is plausible, but there is a lack of evidence.

Yes, if you want to convict the queen, there is still a lack of evidence.

"Mama Rong is right, there are too many secrets that can't be said in this deep palace, and if you fall into it, you can't pull it out. I thought that this case would take some time, but I didn't expect it to progress so quickly, and now I don't even have a chance to delay time, Emperor Yuan Jing of the dog day has not yet issued an edict to be knighted, and Lao Tzu will ask for leave tomorrow. ”

At this time, a picture appeared in Xu Qi'an's mind: behind the roof on the left, there was a man in black, and behind the roof ridge on the right, there was also a man in black in ambush.

In the alley ahead, there stood a man in black with a knife.

With the special nature of the Refining God Realm martial artist, he immediately sensed the danger.

I was ambushed...... This thought rose in his heart, and the next moment, a sharp sound of breaking the air came.

.........

Twilight.

Emperor Yuan Jing had dinner and was planning to go to Lingbaoguan to find Luo Yuheng, meditate with her, and listen to Taoist classics.

The eunuch who was guarding outside suddenly came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen Guifei is asking to see you outside." ”

What is she doing at this point in time....... Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Pass her in." ”

Chen Guifei came to her dormitory at this time, if it was a few years earlier, Emperor Yuan Jing would think that he was recommending a pillow and came to sleep.

In the first ten years of his cultivation, the concubines of the harem persevered in begging for sleep, and Emperor Yuanjing ignored them all, and his temperament was stubborn, and he knelt outside for a night.

Later, when they saw that his heart was like iron, they knew that they could not redeem their hearts, so the concubines stopped thinking and lived in peace.

By now, it has become very Buddhist.

Everyone has their own one, and occasionally they can get together and talk.

The harem of Emperor Yuan Jing is probably the most harmonious harem in the past five hundred years.

After the eunuch retreated, Emperor Yuan Jing sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and vomited. Not long after, Chen Guifei rushed in crying, crying and saying:

"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubine and the crown prince. ”

It was for the crown prince, this result was not surprising to Emperor Yuan Jing, or rather, it was expected by him.

Emperor Yuan Jing, who was reborn with black hair, opened his eyes and looked at Chen Guifei indifferently, "The prince's matter is still under investigation, please go back, concubine, right and wrong, there will naturally be a judgment." ”

"Still investigating? Isn't the case already clear, Your Majesty, I've heard what Lin'an said. Chen Guifei pinched the silk handkerchief, wiped her tears, and said sadly:

"The prince was wronged, the prince was wronged. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and said, "What did Lin'an say to you?" ”

"That Lord Xu has already found out the truth......

Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned, he knew that a drowned corpse was fished up in the Crab Pavilion today, and it was the palace maid who had been missing for many days beside Concubine Fu. But he never expected that Xu Qi'an would find out the truth so quickly?

Chen Guifei cried while telling the information she knew.

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing's face was gloomy like water, and he turned his head to his companion and ordered, "Call the person who supervises Xu Qi'an." ”

The old eunuch in the python robe left in response, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he came in with the little eunuch.

The little eunuch glanced at it, Emperor Yuan Jing sat cross-legged, his expression was not happy or angry, and Chen Guifei knelt beside the bed, crying.

Emperor Yuan Jing said lightly: "What is the progress of today's case?"

The little eunuch had already prepared a draft in his heart, and when he heard the words, he replied without pause: "After Xu Gongzi entered the palace, he immediately rushed to examine the corpse and came to the conclusion that the palace maid Huang Xiaorou was first pressed into the water and drowned, and then thrown into the corpse well. ”

An autopsy was then added to prove this assertion.

In addition, Lord Xu also found out that the palace maid Huang Xiaorou had a fatal wound to her heart, and she should have died a few years ago, but she was revived by someone with a panacea...... Then I went to the Crab Pavilion and asked Mama Rong ......."

This time, the little eunuch was very experienced, only told the process, did not add any personal feelings, and did not say anything about the interaction between Xu Qi'an and the two princesses.

He figured it out, saying these things would certainly cause trouble to Lord Xu, but his practice of making a small report to the two princesses probably made His Majesty even more displeased.

Why bother hurting others and harming yourself.

Besides, Lord Xu is very good to him and cares about him very much. Although the temper is a little short, it is really not bad.

"Confirm that the income and expenditure account books of the Imperial Pharmacy have been partially torn up?" said Emperor Yuan Jing.

That's what Master Xu said. The little eunuch still did not express his personal opinion.

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded slowly: "Inform me to enter the palace overnight and re-examine the body of the palace maid Huang Xiaorou, and I want to know the answer immediately." ”

Half an hour later, the eldest companion brought back the results of the autopsy, and Xu Qi'an corroborated each other, which was undoubted.

Emperor Yuan Jing suddenly lost his mind and did not speak for a long time. The huge dormitory was silent.

Until Chen Guifei fell to the ground and cried: "Lord Xu doesn't dare to check the queen, this matter can only be done by His Majesty himself." Ask Your Majesty to be the crown prince and the concubine to be the master. ”
