Chapter 151 The Emperor and the Empress turned against each other?

Luo Zhen also wanted to enter the palace, and the old lady did not refuse.

The eldest girl was strong-willed when she was a girl, but now that she is married, she has become more stable.

Fu'er's family is small, so it would be better to have more sisters.

And if she hadn't insisted on marrying again, Fu'er wouldn't have had such a good marriage.

She can be considered as half a matchmaker.

There's nothing wrong with going into the palace and taking a look.

Three days later.

When the carriage drove into the palace gate, Luo Zhen couldn't help but clench her handkerchief.

After entering the inner palace and changing into a sedan chair, she became even more nervous.

Until the sedan stopped.

The three big characters "Kunning Palace" on the plaque hurt my eyes.

"Big girl, what are you looking at?"

The old lady came over and asked.

Luo Zhen came to her senses and found that she was no longer nervous.

Love sat in her seat, so why was she nervous? She was the one who should be nervous.

Luo Zhen hugged the old lady's arm and said with a smile, "Look at this Kunning Palace, it's so magnificent, Zhen'er is actually dazzled for a moment."

The old lady smiled, patted her hands, and led her in.

After Luo Fu started studying government affairs, she had more things to do. She was not in Kunning Palace most of the time, but was in the imperial study with Murong Jin.

After hearing that the old lady had returned to the palace, he hurriedly put aside what he was doing and said to Murong Jin, "Chang Jin, do you want to come with me?"

Murong Jin said, "Queen, go ahead. You can talk more freely without me."

Luo Fu said, "Then don't go out by yourself. If you have anything to do, wait until I come back."

Murong Jin held her face in his hands and said, "Does the Queen really think I'm Chang Jin and want to support me?"

Luo Fu blushed a little: "Nonsense."

Murong Jin smiled and kissed her on her red lips: "Go."

Love responded and walked out quickly, lifting her skirt.

Murong Jin leaned on the couch, supporting his face with one hand, and watched her disappear with a smile.

Luo Zhen was sitting in Kunning Palace. She first heard a series of brisk footsteps, and then saw a group of people walking in.

The woman in the lead was only wearing the simplest silk shirt and skirt, and her dark hair was still bare, but her face was so radiant that it seemed to illuminate the entire inner hall.

Not only was she more beautiful than before, but her aura was also much stronger. She even had an intimidating aura as soon as she came in.

How could she not have the aura? The tyrant even allowed her to enter the court!

Luo Zhen stared at her intently, feeling as if there was a fire burning in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Grandma!" Luo Fu walked quickly to the old lady and threw herself into her arms. "You're finally back. Are you having a good time living out here?"

The old lady hugged her happily and said, "Well, I also went to see those two girls, Honeysuckle and Shanglu. They have made their bun business very prosperous and have become big bosses."

Luo Fu actually knew the old lady's situation. The Jinyiwei and the Dongchang sent intelligence every day. She asked them to keep an eye on the old lady, knowing that she was living very comfortably outside.

"No wonder grandma hasn't come back for so long. I guess she forgot she has a granddaughter in the palace."

The old lady scratched her nose and said, "You naughty girl, if you had forgotten your granddaughter, who would be here now?"

Luo Fu took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, please stay a little longer this time when you come back."

The old lady also missed her and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Luo Fu was happy now. She stood up from the old lady's arms and looked at Luo Zhen who was standing beside her with her head bowed. "Sister, you are here too."

Luo Zhen lowered her head even deeper: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I was ignorant before. Please don't hold it against me."

Luo Fu smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Your status is indeed like that. Don't worry, elder sister. Please take a seat."

Luo Zhen responded, sat down beside him, and smiled faintly: "I have the audacity to come here this time, firstly, I want to thank you for saving Pei Ji last time. Your majesty is so kind and generous that I am truly impressed."

Love had a better impression of her.

She has lost a lot of weight these days, and her usual arrogant demeanor is completely gone.

I think she has grown a lot after marrying Pei Ji.

She smiled and said, "We are all sisters, so please don't be polite, elder sister."

Luo Zhen nodded and continued, "I have another reason to come here, but this..."

She looked at Love, her expression a little frightened and a little reluctant.

Luo Fu said, "You can say whatever you want."

Luo Zhen hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Last time, when my husband was in trouble, I asked Qi Chuan, a small flag officer of the Northern Pacification Division, to help me deliver a letter to the Empress. That's how we got to know each other. When I heard his last name was Qi, I thought it was such a coincidence, as he had the same last name as the Empress's mother, but I didn't think much of it until two days ago..."

When she suddenly mentioned her mother, Love's face changed slightly.

Luo Zhen's expression was filled with hesitation and fear. "A few days ago, my husband came back and talked about Qichuan, saying that he was an accomplice of Prince Jin and was killed... This is normal, but, but what he said next made me lose my composure for a long time. He said, he said he didn't believe he would do such a thing. He also kept saying that he wanted to find his elder sister Qijia, so how could it be... Your Majesty!"

She couldn't continue and knelt down in fear.

Love stared at her blankly.

The old lady was also shocked: "What did you say? Qijia? Then, that Qichuan is, isn't it..."

She looked at Love.

The name Qijia is not a common one. Isn’t Qichuan Fuer’s uncle?

Luo Zhen knelt on the ground and sighed, "I can't believe it either. I asked my husband carefully. He said that Qichuan was also from Yanzhou. His family made a living by hunting. There was a flood that year, and the family's money and food were almost exhausted. He had no choice but to join the army and take some meager money and food to give to his old father and eldest sister. But when he came back, he heard from the neighbors that his old father was kicked by the son of the Shangshu in the capital. He spent all his money but couldn't save him. His eldest sister had to sell herself to bury her father. After that, she disappeared.

...I know the background of your mother's life, and what Qichuan said is completely consistent. His eldest sister is also called Qijia... I, I thought about it for two days and dared not come and tell your mother..."

"Empress!"

Tinglan and Qinghe hurriedly supported Luo Fu.

The old lady was also distracted and hurriedly held Love's hand, but her hands were shaking and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Love's lips turned pale and her mind was in a mess.

She sat for a while before saying, "Go check it out."

Ting Lan quickly responded, "Don't worry, Madam. I'll go check it out right away."

She hurried out.

Qing He consoled her, "Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Your Majesty, please don't overthink it. Prince Jin is very cunning. Even His Majesty... maybe he's planning to target you again."

Luo Fu nodded and held the old lady's hand tightly. "Grandma, I'm fine. This matter still needs to be investigated. Don't worry about it. I'll let Qinghe take you back first. When I have the results, I'll come over and tell you in detail."

Seeing that she looked fine, the old lady was afraid of causing her more trouble, so she nodded, glanced at Luo Zhen, and stood up and left.

Luo Fu stared at Luo Zhen for a long time.

If someone was around, they would definitely notice that her expression was somewhat similar to Murong Jin's.

Luo Zhen was still kneeling on the ground with her head lowered. The old lady was asked to leave, and she lost what she thought was her umbrella of protection. She suddenly panicked, but did not dare to make any other moves. At this time, only she and Luo Fu were left in the hall. Although she did not look up, she knew that her eyes were on her.

Her heart was pounding and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Sister, please stand up."

Love finally spoke.

Luo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, not daring to look at Luo Fu, just bowing his body.

Luo Fu said, "Thank you, elder sister, for still thinking of me. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's time for us to get together. You can stay in the palace."

Her words could not be refused, and without waiting for Luo Zhen to speak, she said to the outside, "Someone come."

The maid standing outside came in immediately, bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty."

Luo Fu said, "Take her to live in another palace and serve her well."

"yes."

The maid walked up to Luo Zhen and said, "Madam, please."

Luo Fu's reaction was not what Luo Zhen had expected.

She thought she would believe it immediately, then cry bitterly, fight with the emperor, and finally be deposed.

But she asked someone to check first.

That would be fine. The fact that Qichuan is her uncle is not false, so it won’t matter no matter how much she investigates.

But what was she doing? Not only was she not grateful to her, but she also let her live in the palace?

She didn't think this was just living there, it was clearly confinement.

She didn't believe her.

If anything goes wrong during the investigation, she might kill her!

She is different now and is completely capable of doing such a thing!

Luo Zhen was extremely anxious, but she could do nothing but force herself to say, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave."

Luo Zhen nodded, and after watching her walk out, she felt weak all over. She had to lean on the small table next to her several times before she could hold on.

"My lady, are you okay?"

The maid looked at her worriedly, "Should I go and ask His Majesty to come over?"

His Majesty?

Luo Fu paused and said, "I'm fine. Don't tell His Majesty. You can go down first."

The maid looked at her and had no choice but to retreat.

Luo Fu sat there blankly, then suddenly remembered something. She quickly stood up and walked outside to ask the maid, "Where is Qichuan's body?"

The maid was a little apprehensive: "I don't know."

Love walked around her and went outside.

The maids in the palace hurriedly followed: "My Lady, where are you going?"

Luo Fu didn't answer, but picked up her skirt and ran to the Imperial Household Department.

The maids were startled and ran after him.

Luo Fu ran to the Imperial Household Department in one breath.

When the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department saw the Empress running towards them, most of them stood there in shock.

It wasn't until she ran over that they reacted and fell to their knees.

Luo Fu ran into the inner hall of the Imperial Household Department.

Gao Bin was sitting at his desk writing official documents when he heard a commotion outside. He looked up and was about to ask the people around him when he saw Luo Fu running in.

Even he was stunned for a moment before he stood up, walked quickly around the table and asked, "Madam, what are you doing..."

Luo Fu panted and asked him, "Where is Qichuan's body?"

Qikawa?

Gao Bin's heart immediately started to ring with alarm bells: "My Lady, are you talking about that small flag from the Northern Pacification Division who is colluding with the Prince of Jin?"

Luo Fu said yes, and said with difficulty: "Where is his body?"

Gao Bin also began to panic: "Did the Queen hear some news? The man's real name is Lu Chuan, not Qi."

Luo Fu grabbed his arm and said, "Eunuch Gao, you should also check where he is from, how many people are in his family, what his name is, whether he has ever served in the army, and his body. I want his body!"

"Okay!" Gao Bin saw Luo Fu like this for the first time and responded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will do it right away. Please sit down and have some tea first."

He helped Love sit down and hurriedly ordered someone to check.

My heart was also in turmoil.

Judging from the Empress's appearance and the man's surname being Qi, it was clear that he had a close relationship with the Empress.

Earlier, His Majesty asked him to investigate the matter of the Empress's uncle. However, because there were many people in the army and no portrait, the family background of the person found did not match that of the Empress's mother at all, so the progress was slow.

Could it be that the Empress' uncle was actually right under her nose, and was, was...

Gao Bin felt a chill down his spine.

This is probably true.

Prince Jin is very cunning. His purpose is not to find evidence of His Majesty's matricide and present it to the Empress to cause the Emperor and Empress to turn against each other.

But through this incident, His Majesty killed the Queen's uncle...

This is their real purpose.

And this purpose will cause the emperor and empress to truly turn against each other!

Thinking of this, Gao Bin kneeled down unconsciously: "Your Majesty, if this is true, you must not be alienated from His Majesty, His Majesty has also fallen into the trap!

Prince Jin and his gang must have known about this beforehand, so they deliberately framed His Majesty. Prince Jin knew best what His Majesty cared about. His Majesty used to care about the Concubine Dowager, and his inner demons had never been resolved, so Prince Jin deliberately had people provoke this, causing His Majesty to have a brain attack and lose his composure. That's why, that's why...

His Majesty has also been looking for your uncle, but there are too many people in the army and they are too diverse, so there has been no progress for the time being.

You, please do not resent His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty will definitely not be able to bear it, Your Majesty."

Love nodded subconsciously, but couldn't say anything.

I sat there for a while, feeling flustered.

There was a sudden burst of cheers outside.

"His Majesty!"

Luo Fu raised her head and saw Murong Jin striding towards her.

His face looked bad, his lips were blue, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He walked in front of her but didn't dare to get close to her for a while.

Luo Fu opened her mouth and found her throat was very dry. She forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty also knows?"

Murong Jin responded, his voice also unusually hoarse: "I......"

Seeing the veins on his forehead bulging again, Love knew that his brain disease had relapsed, and subconsciously raised her hand to comfort him.

But he retracted it halfway after extending it.

Murong Jin grabbed her withdrawn hand and said through gritted teeth, "The matter has not been investigated yet, you are not allowed to blame me!"

Luo Fu's nose felt sore. After finding out the truth, would she blame him?

She said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. Wait a moment, let's wait a moment..."

"Okay, let's wait."

Murong Jin held her hand tightly and repeated it, as if if he waited a little longer, what happened that night would no longer exist, Qi Chuan would live well, and the gap between him and her would disappear on its own.

Two hours later, the two groups of people who were sent out to investigate returned one after another.

The investigation results are consistent with what Luo Zhen said.

Even the name of Qichuan's father was found to be exactly the same as that of Qijia's father during military investigation.

Qichuan is indeed Luo Fu's uncle.

There was complete silence in the Silijian Hall.

The person who reported back knelt on the ground, even breathing as lightly as possible.

Murong Jin's lips were completely black and blue, and his face was distorted and terrifying.

He endured the immense pain and just stared at Love.

Luo Fu was not surprised. Her expression remained unchanged, even a little dull. She looked at Gao Bin and asked, "Where is my uncle's body?"

She supported herself on the armrest of the chair with one hand and tried to stand up, but her body was too weak, her vision went dark, and she suddenly fell down.
