Chapter 72 Identification

Seeing that things were getting more and more serious, the queen became a little anxious.

When she got anxious, her head started to itch.

She really couldn't help it, and couldn't let the palace maids touch her hair in public, so she pretended to reach out to touch her hair and took the opportunity to touch it twice.

But this push almost sent her away.

Lice, why lice again?

The exit of her worm valley had been sealed long ago, and she had not issued any summons, so how could these disgusting insects still come uninvited?

In fact, the lice on the queen's head at this moment were not lice from Worm Valley.

Strictly speaking, they should be considered the descendants of the worm louse.

As we all know, lice have extremely strong reproductive capacity and are extremely difficult to eliminate.

If even one louse egg slips through the net, the population can quickly multiply.

Moreover, Yu Jinyi never gave up on sprinkling Chu Qinshu's bath water in the Empress's bedroom.

With the nourishment of bath water, the result can be imagined. Today, Fenghua Palace has become another Fengming Palace.

[Bugs, Your Majesty, there are bugs on the Queen's head, Your Majesty, help me, the bugs are about to crawl onto Shu'er. ]

Chu Qinshu likes to watch the excitement, so she insisted on not sleeping.

The empress was sitting next to Emperor Yongping. When her hand took down her bun, the movement on the armor did not escape Chu Qinshu's eyes.

"Someone, help the Queen back to rest."

When Emperor Yongping heard Chu Qinshu's thoughts, he didn't even look at the empress, but ordered someone to help her leave.

Although he was a man, he was afraid of some insects, but he didn't dare to look at them and make himself feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, I am fine."

The queen didn't want to leave. Her son and nephew from her mother's side were still waiting for her to support them. How could she leave?

"I will find out the truth about Eighteen. You look worse and worse. If you delay any longer, you will probably faint at this palace banquet. I will ask the imperial physician to go back with you."

How could Emperor Yongping not know what he was thinking? It was just impossible for him to do as she wished.

After he finished speaking, he signaled the Empress's maid to help her leave without questioning, and then called the Imperial Physician to send a few reliable doctors to Fenghua Palace.

At the same time, he gave Lu Jihui a look.

After all this, the queen had to leave unless she wanted to embarrass herself in front of all the court officials.

The queen pretended to be unwell and left surrounded by several maids.

Duke Xuan looked at her back and became so anxious that sweat started to break out on his forehead.

Concubine Yue, who was sitting at the back, looked at the Empress who was passing by her table thoughtfully.

She saw with her own eyes an unidentified object falling from the queen's body into the wine glass in front of her.

When the thing was touched by the wine, it started to swim around excitedly, and it was obviously a living creature.

If she hadn't learned palace rules so well and managed to suppress the shock in her heart, she would have probably lost her manners in front of the guard.

[The Emperor is so amazing. Shu'er is afraid of bugs, and the Emperor knew it right away. The Emperor and Shu'er are in tune with each other.]

It was true that Chu Qinshu hated the Queen, and it was also true that she was afraid of lice.

She is a sweet-smelling baby, she can't get involved in that kind of stuff, or she will be laughed at.

"Shu'er, go to sleep. Once the emperor has dealt with these troubles, I will take you back to the study to count the gifts your uncles and uncles sent you."

Emperor Yongping smiled kindly and did not forget to pat the swaddling clothes to coax Chu Qinshu.

[Okay, okay, Shu'er, go to sleep. When you wake up, look at the gift.]

Chu Qinshu closed her eyes with peace of mind. Without the Empress around, she didn't have to worry about Emperor Yongping all the time.

Chu Chengyi listened to his daughter's thoughts and watched Emperor Yongping's series of actions, feeling very complicated.

At his daughter's full-month party, he didn't even hug her.

It is said that grandparents are closer to their grandparents, and this is true.

I wonder if his father felt the same way as he does today when he was taken away and raised by the late emperor?

"Your Majesty, all the people that the prince serves have been brought here."

Lin Fu led the group, Lin Bushie held the list, and dozens of people filed in.

"Eighteen, let me ask you again, have you really never sent any letters to the Luo family's child?"

After Emperor Yongping glanced at the eunuchs standing in the hall, he set his eyes on Chu Chengzhao.

"In reply to your Majesty, I have never communicated with Cousin Sen."

Chu Chengzhao swore solemnly, without any guilty feeling at all.

The more Luo Yongsen listened, the more disheartened he became, and the more determined he became to drag Chu Chengzhao into the water.

"Little boy from the Luo family, go and see if there is anyone among these people who sent you a message."

Emperor Yongping signaled Luo Yongsen to go and identify the person, and he was already thinking about how to deal with the Duke Xuan's Mansion.

Wang Zhenyue looked at Chu Chengzhao and then at Luo Yongsen with cold eyes.

He thought bitterly in his heart that if Emperor Yongping did not give him an explanation today, he would inevitably vent his anger on his great-grandson in his own way.

Wang Zixuan stood in the hall and did not say a word except answering Emperor Yongping's questions.

Although he did not understand where Chu Chengzhao's hostility towards him came from, he had already learned to hide his edge and remain calm and composed under the teachings of his great-grandfather.

Although he is not in danger today, he is also a victim.

He, like his great-grandfather, was waiting for an outcome.

Luo Yongsen searched among dozens of eunuchs for the figures and faces in his memory.

Fortunately, it happened only in the past few days, and as a teenager, his memory is not bad enough to forget someone he has met several times.

When he turned the second time, he pointed at a eunuch and shouted, "It was him. He was the one who delivered the message to me."

After hearing the cry, Chu Chengzhao almost turned around to confirm whether it was true or not, but he resisted the urge to show any flaws.

"Why don't you tell the truth?"

Lin Bushie received the gaze from Emperor Yongping, and immediately led the man out of the crowd and began to interrogate him.

"Five days ago, I was delivering a message to the young master of Duke Xuan's Mansion on behalf of His Highness the Eighteenth Prince. I made five trips in total and delivered ten messages."

The young eunuch did not dare to hide anything and told everything he knew.

"Do you know what the letter says?"

Lin Bushie asked again.

"I don't know. The letter was given to me by His Highness the Eighteenth Prince's personal attendant. I was just running errands and didn't dare to ask any more questions."

"Do you know the person who gave you the letter?"

“Yes.”

"Then go find him quickly."

The young eunuch, like Luo Yongsen, was able to recognize people among the dozens of eunuchs.

But he was obviously not as lucky as Luo Yongsen. After turning around twice, he still couldn't find the person who asked him to deliver the letter.

"That person is not here."

The young eunuch was a little discouraged. If he couldn't find the person, he didn't know if he would be put in a sack and thrown into the well again.

"Where is that?"

Lin Bushie pressed forward step by step, making the young eunuch nervous and at a loss as to what to do.

"Yes... yes... Oh, I remember now. The servant who serves His Highness the Eighteenth Prince closely are all brought from the Empress' palace. They are definitely not among the eunuchs of the Prince."

The young eunuch reacted quickly. The man was indeed not originally employed by the prince. He remembered correctly.

"Manager Lin, let's check the list."

Lin Fu had a headache. The commotion was so loud that even the eunuch who cleaned the toilet for the prince was not missed, but he still couldn't find any result.

Lin Bushie quickly checked the list and asked the eunuch if he knew the man's name.

The young eunuch could not read, but after Lin Bushie read out the list of eunuchs serving in the Queen's palace, he finally pointed out a person.

But when this man was found, his face was already blue and purple, and he was barely breathing.

"Give him a bowl of water."

Emperor Yongping was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and would not be able to get what he wanted, so he signaled Lin Fu to pour him a bowl of water from the water bag.
