All Court Officials Read Minds, Reckless Gossip

Jun Baozhu transmigrated as a baby into a fictional historical novel, becoming the only princess born in the Great Feng Dynasty in a hundred years. She seemed favored, but Jun Baozhu disliked this ...

Chapter 492 Mother is so smart!

Everyone was thinking about it. Jun Baozhu had just read the last sentence when the prince heard the news and rushed over.

After learning about the situation inside the Cining Palace and seeing the circle formed by the imperial guards, he quickly ordered the guards he brought with him to go in and rescue people.

The prince reported the situation at the palace gate to the emperor truthfully.

A person who looked like a palace maid and was highly skilled in martial arts killed two gate guards, injured a group of people, and escaped.

The prince went there in person to strengthen the guard of the palace gate and let his own guards fill in the vacancies of the guards, while also investigating the situation of the criminals.

"It's not a maid. That person is pretending."

The prince said in a firm tone, "I have checked with Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li has told me that a maid in the Cining Palace has died. In addition, there are occasional palace maids under control."

The emperor nodded, his face gloomy, "Baozhu just analyzed that the one who escaped should be the queen mother in disguise.

I didn't want to leave any evidence to prove her identity as a Nanchi national, so that I could have an excuse to send troops to Nanchi, so I pretended to be a palace maid and created the illusion that the Queen Mother had disappeared."

The prince had a solemn expression on his face and was thinking about something when the guards suddenly dispersed, covered the palace maid's body with white cloth again, and at Concubine Li's nod of agreement, carried the body away.

Concubine Li took the handkerchief from the side, washed her hands, and then walked in front of the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, the maid died of internal injuries. Her organs were damaged and her heart was severed.

The murderer had great internal strength. Judging from the marks on the body, the maid didn't even have time to struggle and was killed in one blow."

As soon as the voice fell, Jun Baozhu, who was in the Queen's arms, spoke out:

[Killed in one blow? So brutal? ]

[At first, even Aunt Gui didn't have such ability. It turns out that the fake Queen Mother's kung fu is even better than Aunt Gui's! ]

[In order to kill Nanny Gui, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince arranged hundreds of guards and imperial guards...]

[No wonder the city guards couldn't stop them. Two of them died. Fortunately!]

After hearing what Jun Baozhu said, the emperor and the prince became more solemn.

"Sister, the maid's hair was shaved? Can you find out why?"

The Queen asked Concubine Li, then turned to look at the Crown Prince, "Heng'er, when you interrogate at the palace gate, did the guards see if the murderer was carrying a bag or something else?

Otherwise, what was the point of her twisting the palace maid's hair?

Is this some kind of Nanchi secret technique?"

When asking the last question, the queen looked at Jun Baozhu in her arms.

The information they had about the Nanchi Kingdom was very limited.

Although they have been sending secret agents, the Nan Chi Kingdom has always kept secret the secret arts such as Gu Shu...

Compared to the Queen Mother, such obvious dangers and unknown dangers are more worrying.

"My hair was almost completely shaved off. I don't know what it's for, but I thought of a place. I don't know if it's right..."

Concubine Li lowered her head to think, then spoke tentatively.

"It doesn't matter, we are just speculating and analyzing anyway."

"Sister, do you remember the case that the Ninth Prince went to Su City and Yang City to handle half a month ago? The hair case?"

Concubine Li analyzed, "The mastermind behind this was not afraid to kill the Ninth Prince and chase him all the way to the capital. His methods were so brutal and he had nothing to fear...

At that time, I suspected that the person behind the scenes was in the court and held a high position.

To be able to mobilize so many manpower and resources, according to the investigation at that time, almost all the girls' hair was braided into wigs, which shows their purpose.

If it is a method, there is no need to be so meticulous.

I would venture to wonder if the two are related?"

The emperor, empress and crown prince all fell into deep thought.

The Queen thought and analyzed:

"What my sister said is not without basis. Even if the Queen Mother is pretending, judging by her skin lines, she should be more than ten years older than us.

I have always felt that the Empress Dowager's hair was thick and black, better than that of all the concubines.

At the time, I was still thinking that it must be because the emperor was obedient, the queen mother had nothing to worry about, and the two maids took good care of me...

It is not impossible to associate the two.

The Empress Dowager's food and daily life were taken care of by two maids. She spent more than half of the year in the palace. If these wigs were for the Empress Dowager's use, it would be too easy to transport them.

Baozhu just asked, if the Queen Mother wanted to disguise herself and hurt someone, or just put on some clothes, why did she want to kill the palace maid?

Is it because the maid saw the true appearance of her hair?"

The prince spoke up, "After questioning by my son, the guards described the murderer's appearance. We didn't see his face clearly, but there were no packages or other luggage on him."

After that, he turned to a guard behind him and said, "Go to the palace gate and ask all the guards guarding the gate, including those who are treating the wounded, if there is anything unusual about the murderer, such as his hair, etc.

Quick! Come back and report as soon as you have asked!"

The guard clasped his fists and left quickly.

[Mother, you are so smart! ]

[My mother is so amazing! ]

[Not only is his medical skill amazing, his analysis is also excellent! ]

Jun Baozhu, in the Queen's arms, looked at her mother with sparkling eyes.

Concubine Li smiled and looked at her daughter, which relieved a lot of her fatigue.

It was basically confirmed that the palace maid's hair being shaved had nothing to do with the Nan Chi secret technique, which made the queen feel a little relieved.

The emperor's eyes were always fixed in the direction of the Cining Palace.

[Father, you are worried about the second prince, right? ]

[We are worried too! What is going on inside? Why hasn’t he come out after so long? ]
