Chapter 137: Threats
The queen didn't look at Lin Chunxi, she didn't raise her eyelids, and said casually, "The mourning family heard that you were originally a Qing cultivator, why did you come to the capital, did you move your hearts and covet glory and wealth?"
Lin Chunxi heard that the queen's words were not good, and there was no expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he replied without humility or arrogance, "The grass people were entrusted by the crown prince to go down the mountain to solve the case of the loss of children in the capital."
After hearing this, the queen immediately smiled coldly, "Solve the case, when does our Wu Kingdom need people to cultivate the truth to solve the case, are the yamen of the criminal department all rice buckets?", and then looked at Gonggong Hu beside him, Gonggong Hu also looked at Lin Chunxi with a smile, but Lin Chunxi noticed that there was no sarcasm in the eyes of Gonggong Hu, and he couldn't read any expression on his face, so he always stood beside the queen humbly, waiting carefully, as long as he didn't ask him, he would never say a word.
Lin Chunxi stopped talking, the queen felt bored, and then asked, "I think your child is also outstanding, how good it is to stay in the mountains to cultivate, the mundane things in the red dust are not all as simple as they seem, I heard that you were invited by the prince, what's the matter?
Lin Chunxi replied truthfully, "Before this matter, I didn't know the prince, to be precise, I only met the prince himself after I came to the capital, and I did it according to the teacher's instructions before."
The queen replied thoughtfully, but her eyes kept observing Lin Chunxi's expression, she didn't seem to believe it very much, and she couldn't tell what it meant, so she continued, "Then may I ask, little gentleman, you are here to solve the case, as the queen, I should also thank you for the people of our Wu Kingdom, but I don't know how this case has been solved, I heard that I have lost an innocent child recently, which is also strange, how can the more the case is solved, the more children are lost?"
Lin Chunxi was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack on his face, and replied in a deep voice, "I just learned about this matter today, and we will definitely arrest this evildoer and return the people to peace."
After hearing this, the queen immediately trembled, and couldn't stop sneering, and then took a sip of tea gently, "This beautiful word, everyone will say, I didn't expect that you, a cultivator, would also be like this set of our mortals, it seems that it is the same everywhere, no wonder you go down the mountain, I'm afraid you won't learn anything good on the mountain, if outsiders hear this, you can't think that we Wu people have taught you cultivators badly?"
Lin Chunxi was angry in his heart, and he didn't bother with her anymore, he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and he didn't want to have more verbal disputes with this queen.
Then the queen stopped talking, just concentrated on eating pastries and tasting tea, just like this, nearly half an hour passed, Lin Chunxi was anxious, he still had to prepare for the evening, if he accompanied the woman in the palace to delay too much, I am afraid that it would be unfavorable to the things of the evening.
However, the queen just stopped talking, and Lin Chunxi couldn't say anything, as long as she sat patiently on the chair and didn't move, Gonggong Hu next to her was also as immobile as a bell, didn't say a word, and just quietly accompanied the queen.
Seeing that the sun was already in the west, the queen finally spoke, "You listen well, this palace said it once", and then paused, looked at Lin Chunxi with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The things in this imperial city, especially when it comes to the palace, you better not participate, if you stretch your hand too long, it will cause trouble for your body, this palace is to pity you for your cultivation is not easy, and I don't want you to be wronged, but not everyone is as polite as me, understand?" , Then he looked at Lin Chunxi with deep eyes, without waiting for him to reply, he stood up and walked outside the courtyard, Hu Gonggong hurriedly followed, when he left, Hu Gonggong also looked at Lin Chunxi deeply, but did not say much, Lin Chunxi saluted the queen's departing figure, and then Hu Gonggong arranged for the two little eunuchs to send Lin Chunxi out of the palace before leaving the courtyard.
Lin Chunxi was led out of the inner courtyard of the palace, although nothing happened this afternoon, but the queen's attitude has been very clear, Lin Chunxi can see that the queen does not want Lin Chunxi to continue to participate in this matter, this is a warning, and it is the queen who personally came forward to threaten, indicating that this matter has caused an uproar within the royal family, but Lin Chunxi does not understand, who does this queen represent, to say these words to herself, and she knows the whole thing very well, which shows that the palace is also very concerned about the case of the loss of children, but if it is so concerned, but why didn't the investigation be stepped up?
Moreover, what puzzled Lin Chunxi the most was that the queen was the nominal mother of the crown prince Li Shanyuan, although she was not the biological mother, but Li Shanyuan was raised by the queen since she was a child, but looking at her attitude today, it seems that she is not willing to continue to meddle in this matter, which is diametrically opposed to Li Shanyuan's attitude, according to rumors, when the queen herself gave birth to the seventeenth prince, Li Shanyuan no longer continued to live in the queen's palace, first went to the cave to cultivate the Tao, and then returned to the capital, and then opened the palace independently at a young age, the world said that this is because the son of heaven is smart, and the emperor attaches great importance to him, but some people say that the prince and the queen have only faintly contradicted, But these are just rumors, and they don't count, but through this contact, Lin Chunxi feels that the rumors are not groundless, and I am afraid that there is really a reason for it.
But at this time, it was already getting late, and thinking that there was a big thing to do tonight, Lin Chunxi suppressed these thoughts in his heart, and was ready to wait for tonight to pass, and then think about it.
When he returned to the inn, several other juniors and disciples all greeted him, it turned out that after he left, no one could sit still, and they didn't know what the purpose of summoning Lin Chunxi in this palace was, Lin Chunxi told them about the experience of the afternoon, everyone was surprised, no one thought that Gui was the queen of Wuguo, and actually came forward to threaten Lin Chunxi in person, Lin Chunxi comforted everyone, saying that no one would be unfavorable to them at the moment, and it was better to concentrate on solving the case as soon as possible, so that they could continue to cultivate as soon as possible, this kind of place in the capital is too complicated, it is really not a place where they should come to cultivate, and several other people also have the same opinion。
Lin Chunxi arranged for everyone to have a simple dinner, and then each went to prepare the items needed for the night operation, although they were not the main force to participate in the battle tonight, but the task was still arduous, the opponent was a group of blood bats, and no one was careless.
