The emperor's purpose of coming here was not to raise an army to question the culprits...
Originally, I wanted to appease the Queen Mother before she caused trouble and made things difficult for the Queen and her sons...
Who knew that his daughter's words would wake him up.
A confrontation ended abruptly.
The Queen Mother showed an unprecedented submissive attitude, admitting that she did not discipline her children strictly, but she still avoided the main issue and refused to admit the crime committed by Nanny Gui...
He admitted lightly that he had not considered carefully the matter of handling Aunt Gui's body...
The emperor could not hide his disappointment.
The emperor and empress left with their entourage. The empress asked Concubine Li to take Jun Baozhu back to rest first. She looked at the emperor's back and sighed silently.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Tenth Prince each left.
Jun Baozhu was cleaned and lay in her mother's arms, drinking milk comfortably and listening to Huo Feng's revelations.
[Father seems to have suffered a shock? Is mother accompanying him? ]
Because the emperor was struck by the voice in Jun Baozhu's heart...
Therefore, neither the system nor Jun Baozhu could hear it. Jun Baozhu only thought that the emperor was disappointed because of the queen mother's attitude towards the queen and the tenth prince.
Even though the Tenth Prince had spoken so frankly about the dangers of Nanny Gui, the Queen Mother still didn't take it seriously...
Jun Baozhu only thought that the emperor was disappointed and heartbroken because the empress dowager valued the evil slave so much and didn't care about the safety of herself, the prince and others at all...
He had no idea that what woke the emperor up was the buckets of cold water poured out from his own heart.
[The Queen Mother is so kind to the Emperor! ]
[Even if my father’s heart is cold at this moment, he can definitely feel the company and comfort of my mother...]
[Do you feel that you have made a mistake in the past? You have given all your tolerance and indulgence to the Queen Mother, but you have not been understanding and tolerant enough to your mother? ]
[Humph! I don’t want to see the Queen Mother anymore! ]
[If she hadn't returned to the palace, my mother and I wouldn't have been in danger so many times! ]
[By the way, is there still no trace of Aunt Gui's body? ]
Huo Feng answered truthfully, all clues were cut off and no one discussed the matter anymore. Therefore, the system could not capture information and the analysis results had no reference value.
But Huo Feng revealed a major event that had recently occurred in the suburbs of the city.
When Jun Baozhu heard this, she immediately stopped drinking milk.
【What? 】
[Five fresh bodies found in a mass grave on the outskirts of the city? ]
[Hmm? Is there anything special? ]
[They died in the afternoon. The number of people is consistent with the number of people who left with the excuse that the imperial kitchen had some mountain products but didn't take all of them, and took the handwritten letter from the chief eunuch of the imperial kitchen? ]
[Bleeding from all seven orifices too? ]
【What? No? 】
Jun Baozhu seemed to be lost in thought, muttering to herself:
[Then, they are most likely not Gui Mama’s accomplices...]
[If not the same party, then who could it be? ]
[What? Someone who shares the same goal as Aunt Gui and hopes that my mother and I will die?]
[But, I'm just a child, right? No matter what, the throne will never come to me. Why do they hate me so much? ]
Concubine Li listened carefully and knew the answer in her heart.
Jun Baozhu's childish voice continued to echo in the bedroom.
[The body was buried deep, was it discovered by accident? ]
[A drunk fell down on the outskirts of the city and dreamed that he was digging a house. He dug a three-foot-deep hole with his bare hands and touched something hard? ]
[Thinking that they had found a treasure, they dug deeper and deeper, and the wider they dug, but in the end, the night wind blew away the smell of alcohol, and when they opened their eyes, they saw five bodies lying together randomly...]
[Frightened to the point of losing half of your soul? ]
[Afraid of getting into trouble with the law, so you ran to the government to report the case? ]
[After the autopsy, the coroner confirmed that all five people were killed by a single sword, but there was no clue at the scene. Were the bodies left in the funeral home? ]
[Can you remind the Second Prince to arrange for someone to conduct a thorough investigation? ]
[What? The body has been burned? ]
Jun Baozhu's eyes widened. [Just as the body was brought into Yizhuang, less than half an hour later, someone reported a fire in Yizhuang...]
[When the police arrived, most of Yizhuang had been burned down, and there were still many unsolved cases of corpses left in Yizhuang...]
[By the time the surrounding villagers and police officers brought water to put out the fire, the bodies had been burned beyond recognition, and the five bodies that had just been moved in were burned to ashes.]
[What? The body of the drunk who reported the crime was found in the corner? ]
[The other bodies were all burned to ashes, so why could the drunkard be recognized? ]
[What? He was chained and was completely suffocated to death? His body is intact, with no other injuries?]
Thinking of the tragedy of living people being scalded to death or suffocated to death, Jun Baozhu couldn't help but gasp.
[The person behind the scenes is really too rampant! ]
[Don’t take human life seriously at all! ]
Jun Baozhu said angrily, and after hearing Huo Feng's next revelations, she was speechless for a long time.
