"All I know is that he said he was the eunuch of the Jiangxi Palace and asked you to come! He said that if I did this, his master would help me become the queen."
Aunt Qi said something vaguely.
[This eunuch is really good at drawing cakes, but this doesn't seem to be a simple matter! How come this is like nesting dolls, one after another, it's endless, and this eunuch is not easy to investigate, because according to the usual routine, this eunuch is estimated to be dead. If that's the case, it will be troublesome to investigate! I hope he's not dead yet! ]
Li Xiaochen had already sent someone to look for the eunuch friend.
"When did the eunuch give it to you? Where is it?"
Lin Yuxin thought for a while and asked.
"In the back garden, on the day the prince plotted rebellion!"
Qi said.
After hearing this, everyone present understood that it was indeed the easiest person to sneak in that day, but they didn't expect that it was for the queen!
Later, Lin Yuxin asked some questions, but did not get any useful information as expected, so this clue is probably really broken!
Lin Yuxin snapped her fingers, and Qipin came back to her senses, slowed down, and looked at Lin Yuxin with a little fear in her eyes. This woman must know witchcraft! ! Witchcraft!
Aunt Qi couldn't help but step back, wanting to stay away from Lin Yuxin!
Lin Yuxin ignored her and looked at the emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, if the eunuch is not found or is dead, then these clues will be gone!"
Lin Yuxin was helpless. After working for a long time, she found nothing and found two scapegoats! She also found a person behind the scenes who had no clues. She felt that she had worked in vain.
After a while, Li Xiaochen sent someone back to report:
"Your Majesty, I did not find a eunuch named Youlai in the Xianxi Palace. The palace manager said that there was no such person! However, I found a corpse in the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden, wearing eunuch's clothes."
Everyone present had an extremely grim look on their faces; this clue was really broken.
"I know. We will investigate this slowly. Since we know there are other people involved, they will reveal their true colors sooner or later! This person will be dealt with according to my previous charges, and his official position in Hezhou City will be taken away. All of the five clans will be exiled to the border! Take him away!"
The emperor gave the order with a dark face. He knew that he could not find out anything for the time being and was very upset, but he did not waste any more time and ordered people to drag out the people kneeling on the ground. Those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned.
And Hezhou City is Qi's father, a fourth-rank official!
"yes!"
Soon the man who poisoned the woman was taken away, crying and begging for mercy along the way, echoing throughout the entire Kunning Palace.
The emperor frowned and shouted coldly:
"Shut them up."
The soldiers moved quickly. Each of them pulled out a piece of something from his body and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
The whole palace fell silent in an instant, and the emperor began to become impatient. You all should leave. I will stay with the queen.
"yes!"
This time the concubines really bowed and left. After watching the show for so long, one of the concubines was deposed, and there was one less competitor among them. The concubines were still somewhat happy.
But thinking that there are spies in this palace, everyone began to panic. It seems that they should stay out of their own palaces in the future. Otherwise, if they meet spies and cannot use them, if they are found out, even the gods cannot save them, and their entire clan may be exterminated!
Lin Yuxin and Li Xiaochen bowed and left, leaving Kunning Palace. In the end, only the Queen Mother was left, while the Emperor and Cheng Tinghao were guarding the Queen.
The Queen Mother chatted with the Emperor for a while, then she felt exhausted, told the Emperor to take care of himself, and left.
The emperor and Cheng Tinghao didn't say anything for a long while, they just stared at each other.
In the end, it was the emperor who spoke first. He was afraid that if he didn't speak, the brat would really not say a word to him.
"How's your homework these days?"
The emperor looked at his son sitting on the couch beside the bed and asked openly.
"Very good, Master, I have learned all the lessons you have given me!"
Cheng Tinghao looked at his unconscious mother and answered indifferently.
His emotions are only for Lin Yuxin. Maybe he will be gentle to his mother, the Queen Mother, but that doesn't mean he can be gentle to his father.
The emperor looked at him with such a cold expression, he thought he was exactly the same as that brat Li Xiaochen. He thought that after his son came back, he would slowly build up a family relationship with them, but with such a cold expression, it was hard to tell that this boy had any feelings for them!
If there was no blood relationship, he estimated that this boy would have to leave the palace and live directly in Lin Yuxin's house.
He once doubted whether it was right to let Lin Yuxin help him take care of the child. He learned to be eloquent from Lin Yuxin and was specifically used to irritate him. He also learned to be cold-faced from that brat Li Xiaochen. How could he still be a six-year-old child?
If he had taken the child back when he knew that he and the queen had the child, would he have been closer to them?
The emperor was wronging Li Xiaochen by thinking this way. Cheng Tinghao was so cold not only because of his personality, but also because Lin Yuxin was secretly guarding the Xueying Sect!
In addition to teaching him martial arts, Xueying also taught him to keep a low profile. No matter what happened, he must not show it on his face, lest others find him vulnerable!
Over time, Cheng Tinghao really developed this cold and icy look.
"That's good, but have you seen anything special about Lin Yuxin in the past six months? For example, the hypnosis technique just now! Have you seen it?"
The emperor nodded and was silent for a moment before trying to speak.
Cheng Tinghao's cold face finally showed some expression. He turned his head abruptly and looked at the emperor, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a maturity and vigilance that was not suitable for a child.
He looked at the emperor for a while before speaking:
"Father, what misunderstanding do you have about Sister Lin?"
"No, I'm just curious about where this girl gets all these weird ideas and abilities! So I'm asking you!"
The emperor's tone was full of curiosity, but he obviously noticed the change in his son's expression, and he couldn't help cursing his mother.
This stinky son was raised in vain. I just want to ask him, why is he looking at him with caution? He was the one who attacked Lin Yuxin, could this kid possibly rebel against him?
"I only know that Sister Lin is very skilled in medicine. Not only can she make medicine and treat diseases, she can also make poisons. As for her skills, I don't know where she learned them from."
"I don't think Sister Lin will harm me."
Cheng Tinghao looked at the emperor for a while, let down his guard, then looked at the emperor seriously and said.
One is his father, and the other is his sister, who he has chosen. He knows that his sister is good to him, and if his father has a misunderstanding about his sister, it will be very disadvantageous to her.
All he could do was to dispel his father's suspicion of his sister, but if his father really reached the point where he couldn't tolerate his sister.
Then he will work hard to get to the highest position, so that the two of them won't have the chance to turn against each other under his nose!
The emperor didn't know that during this time, his son had already figured out how to take the throne and then let him retire.
