[How can this be considered a vulgar work? ]
[Don’t you cyber robots have any sense of aesthetics? 】
Wu Qing screamed wildly in his heart, [This is clearly the excellent output of Meng Nu! It is a work of art! ]
The mechanical voice of No. 2321 was cold.
"Host, there are a total of 28 pieces of Suzhou embroidery hidden in the box, and each piece shows a handsome man rubbing his hands."
"Among them, eighteen are embroidered with Prince Ding, eight are of Fang Rong'an, and two are of Qin Lixue."
"Among these embroidery works, only a few have the main characters wearing clothes. Aren't these considered vulgar works?" questioned No. 2321.
The concubines covered their mouths: Wow!
Jiu agreed and his face turned slightly red: "..."
The concubines' eyes were so fiery that they seemed to burn through her face.
The palace is so boring, what's wrong with having a hobby?!
See what she does?
Do you dare to say that you don’t like looking at handsome guys?! Why are you pretending!
【I want to see! I want to see! I want to see! 】
Wu Qing was so anxious that he almost rolled on the ground.
She yelled: [Why did you see it but not show it to me? Are we still good friends fighting side by side? ]
"We have never been friends. We have just been ordinary colleagues, where you use me and I use you."
No. 2321 ruthlessly refused: "Want to see it? Just go get it yourself."
[Stingy guy, a little bit.] Wu Qing was so angry that he stuck out his tongue.
[You look down on me, don't you? I'll go and have a sneak peek tonight. ]
Jiu agreed and thought numbly, Noble Ji, I guess you can’t steal it.
She was afraid that as soon as she finished paying her respects, the Queen would go to her room and take the box away.
But Lady Ji's thoughts did not let her go and she wanted to make a few more comments.
Wu Qingle was so happy, [However, Jiu promised that none of the embroidery was based on the emperor. ]
[They are too lazy to even pretend to be nice, hahahaha. Are there more than one person in the palace who truly like the emperor? I don't think so. ]
Jiu promised that he couldn't bear it anymore.
She begged in her heart, begging the noble lady Ji to quickly take back her magical power! Say less!
Jiu agreed, covering her cheek, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness is right. In addition to Suzhou embroidery, I do have some accomplishments in Beijing embroidery."
"It is not difficult for me to achieve such a fine stitching."
After this statement was made, Concubine Ji was no longer the only one in the palace who was good at Beijing embroidery. Concubine Shang and Concubine Jiu were both likely to have sewed the doll.
Concubine Lin nodded, truly satisfied.
"It seems that Concubine Li needs to learn more about the affairs of the palace."
She joked, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be too hasty to jump to conclusions based on just some superficial clues?"
Concubine Li bit her lip unwillingly.
Damn it, the Imperial Concubine is really amazing. These two doubts that she carefully prepared for Concubine Ji were rejected by the Imperial Concubine.
"The last point is the appearance of the doll."
"The doll is modeled after me, that's for sure."
Concubine Lin used her armor to fiddle with the doll's face in disgust and continued:
"But Lady Ji once said that I am the most beautiful woman in the palace. If she was the one who made the doll, she couldn't have made my doll so ugly."
Concubine Lin said this very confidently and proudly.
Hearing this, the concubines clenched their fists silently: "..."
It’s so annoying. The imperial concubine is as narcissistic as ever.
But they couldn't refute her! Now they still had to rely on the imperial concubine to save the situation.
After the imperial concubine refuted her doubts one by one, Li Guiren was like a drowned rat and felt a little depressed.
In sharp contrast, Concubine Lin was calm and composed. She was smiling, and her demeanor revealed a calm and relaxed temperament.
Wu Qing's eyes were full of stars, and he praised: [My lord, you are my god! ]
No. 2321 in my mind was so disappointed: "Can you learn from them? This is the material for palace fighting!"
"And you just stand there and wait for a miracle to happen."
Wu Qing shook his head: [With my intelligence, how can I be compared with the imperial concubine? ]
[I might as well just cling to the imperial concubine and follow her around. ]
No. 2321 sighed: "I have no ambition."
Concubine Lin was slightly unhappy.
Why don't you have ambition? If you follow her, your future will be bright.
Li Guiren's face was pale, and she said softly: "Your Highness is right, I suspected the wrong person."
The Queen nodded slightly, turned her gaze to Concubine Lin, and asked, "According to Concubine Lin, who is the murderer behind this?"
Concubine Lin cleared her throat.
"In my opinion, this matter should be investigated from outside the palace."
"There are many doubts about what happened last night. Everyone has their own opinions and cannot reach a consensus. But what happened outside the palace is much easier to investigate."
"Who bribed Zhitao's family? This is the key."
She smiled and said, "After learning about what happened last night, I asked Qingfang to go out of the palace to investigate. Fortunately, there were some results."
At this time, Qingfang, who had been waiting outside, finally received instructions from Concubine Lin.
Under the guidance of Xiao Luzi, Qingfang walked into the hall with a man.
Harvest?
What's the catch?
Li Guiren was a little flustered, not knowing where she had given herself away.
No matter how much the Imperial Concubine values Lady Ji, she would not use the power of her mother's family to help her find clues, right?
No, that's absolutely impossible.
Concubine Li kept comforting herself in her heart, trying to calm the sudden panic.
Qingfang first bowed respectfully to everyone and introduced herself.
"My ladies and gentlemen, I am Qingfang, the maidservant of the Imperial Concubine."
"I am ordered by the Imperial Concubine to leave the palace to investigate Zhitao's family."
Qingfang's voice was very heavy. "However, when I arrived, I found that they had been killed, and no one was spared."
Zhitao, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, suddenly raised his head with red eyes.
"Fortunately, the perpetrators haven't gotten far. I sent someone to quietly follow them and found that they finally stopped in front of a small courtyard east of the capital."
"After all the assassins have left, I will have someone break into the courtyard and subdue everyone inside. The leader is this person!"
Qingfang suddenly grabbed the man on the ground by his braid, stared at him fiercely, and said sternly:
"The ladies are watching us now! Tell the truth! Who do you belong to?"
The man on the ground was frightened by Qing Fang's aura, tears and snot flowed down his face, and he trembled as he answered: "My ladies, please understand. I am just the second cousin of the gatekeeper of the Li Mansion."
"I am just a commoner who follows orders and is only responsible for paying the assassins."
He pleaded in a trembling voice, "Empress, please have mercy and spare my life! I really don't know anything!"
When Concubine Li heard these words, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed.
When everyone gathered, Concubine Lin said nothing, just sat aside drinking tea, as if it was none of her business.
But in fact, she had already sent Qingfang out of the palace to investigate.
The imperial concubine's quick reaction was beyond Li Guiren's expectations.
She had thought that even if the news leaked out, the imperial concubine would have to go through some twists and turns before taking any action. However, she had not expected that the imperial concubine would send Qingfang out of the palace as soon as she learned the news.
And Qingfang really caught the person.
Li Guiren's legs went limp and she didn't know whether she fainted or was kneeling. She only felt her head hitting the ground heavily and she felt a dull pain.
The direction in which she knelt was exactly facing Wu Qing.
[…Why is she kneeling before me? ]
Wu Qing was surprised.
No. 2321 calmly analyzed: "In my opinion, she may have just felt dizzy due to a sudden increase in blood pressure, and in a hurry she knelt down on the wrong person."
Wu Qing touched his chin: [Maybe he has a change of heart and is giving me a big gift to ask for my forgiveness? ]
No. 2321: "Absolutely not."
"But whether to choose to forgive her is up to you."
"Host, I would like to ask you a question, have you ever killed anyone?"
[You are crazy. I am a law-abiding citizen.]
"Then you have to face it now." No. 2321 asked mercilessly, "Do you want Concubine Li to die?"
