Chapter 1087: Checking One by One
When the emperor fell into a coma, the imperial doctors tried their best but failed to cure him. Finally, it was the imperial concubine who used a secret method to change his fate and finally woke him up.
However, changing your destiny comes at a price.
After Fang Wujiu came back, he learned that the emperor had woken up early and immediately guessed that it was Xixi who helped change the emperor's fate.
Fang Wujiu told the emperor bluntly that changing one's fate would come at a huge price.
In order to change the fate of King Nanyue, Xuanjizi gave up half of his lifespan.
The price Xixi paid was definitely not lower than Xuanjizi's.
When Luo Qinghan knew about this, he froze in place and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
That day, Luo Qinghan locked himself in the bedroom of Yunxiu Palace for a whole day and night.
All the food could not be delivered.
He was hungry for a whole day and a night.
The door was not opened until Fang Wujiu came to him and said he had news about Xixi.
Luo Qinghan, with a haggard face and red eyes, walked out of the dark room.
he asked in a hoarse, tired voice.
"Where is she?"
Fang Wujiu held up the heavy orange cat in his hand and motioned the other party to look at what was on the cat's neck.
Around the orange cat's neck hung a thin silver chain with a small and exquisite kitten seal hanging in the middle of the chain.
The moment Luo Qinghan saw the kitten seal, his pupils trembled slightly.
This was carved by him personally as a birthday gift for Xixi!
Xixi always carries it with her, how did it end up on Lao Wang's body?
Could it be that Lao Wang has met Xixi?
Fang Wujiu gave a positive answer: "Old Wang knows where Xixi is."
Luo Qinghan wanted Lao Wang to take him to find Xixi, but was persuaded by Fang Wujiu.
“Although the life-changing technique of the Tianmen Sect Master has failed, the rebellion in Youmen County has not ended yet, and the war in the Thousand Islands is still going on. Your Majesty must not leave Shengjing at this time. You must stay in the palace to take command.
Please let me take care of the search for Xixi. Once I have any news about Xixi, I will inform you as soon as possible."
After Luo Qinghan calmed down, he agreed to Fang Wujiu's proposal.
Fang Wujiu and Shang Kui led a team of Yulin Guards to Shengjing. Old Wang was responsible for guiding the way, while Luo Qinghan stayed in the palace to handle important government affairs sent in from various places.
Because he was worried about Xixi's safety, Luo Qinghan had a very torturous time during this period.
Whenever he thought about the fact that his life was saved by Xixi, he felt extremely sad.
At this moment, Eunuch Chang suddenly mentioned this matter, which made Luo Qinghan's hard-earned calm demeanor suddenly shattered.
He curled the corner of his mouth and laughed at himself.
"How useless am I that I have to let Xixi risk her life to save me?"
Eunuch Chang knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed, saying, "It was I who said the wrong thing. I deserve to die! I just wanted to persuade Your Majesty to cheer up and not let down the Imperial Concubine's love for you."
Luo Qinghan asked back: "I have been working so hard to handle government affairs, isn't it enough to cheer up?"
Eunuch Chang: "You worked too hard and you got sick. You need to rest well now."
Luo Qinghan didn't want to rest.
He had too many emotions accumulated in his heart and needed something else to distract himself.
If he were left lying quietly in bed alone, those heavy and chaotic emotions would completely overwhelm his sanity.
Eunuch Chang said so much just to make him take the medicine.
Luo Qinghan picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one breath.
Seeing that the emperor was finally willing to take the medicine, Eunuch Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Cao Nuo's voice was heard outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Xian, requests an audience."
Luo Qinghan: "Announce."
A moment later, Zhao Xian, dressed as a military general, strode in.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have found some clues to the matter you asked me to investigate."
Luo Qinghan: "Speak."
Zhao Xian said in a serious tone.
"I have checked all the records of entry and exit of each palace gate. Anyone who entered or exited the palace gate on the morning when the imperial concubine disappeared has been found by me.
After a thorough investigation, the suspect was finally pinned on a eunuch named Ronggui.
But when I sent people to find Ronggui, Ronggui had already hanged himself.
It was obvious that there was something wrong with him choosing to commit suicide at this time.
I will continue to investigate along this clue.
I found all the people who had contact with Ronggui and checked them one by one, and finally found some clues.
It is said that Ronggui is from the same hometown as a palace maid.
Although Ronggui never mentioned the matter of the palace maid's fellow villager in front of outsiders, according to the confession of the young eunuch who lived in the same room with Ronggui, Ronggui had once secretly met with a palace maid.
The young eunuch did not recognize the palace maid. Judging from the way she was dressed, she was probably not an ordinary palace maid.
In the past, Ronggui was punished for making a mistake and was severely beaten. He almost died, but later he miraculously recovered.
It is very likely that the palace maid secretly sent the medicine to Ronggui."
They are obviously from the same hometown and have a very good relationship, but they still pretend to be unfamiliar with each other. The more they try to cover up, the more obvious it becomes and the more problematic it seems.
Luo Qinghan asked coldly: "Have you found out who that palace maid is?"
Zhao Xian: "I am going to gather all the maids in the palaces and the female officials in the palace and interrogate them one by one. This requires your Majesty's order."
The senior palace maids and female officials were different from the ordinary palace maids and eunuchs.
They are either the confidants of a concubine or have certain power in their hands.
Even though Zhao Xian was the commander of the Imperial Guard, he couldn't just take them away for interrogation.
Luo Qinghan immediately wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting and gave it to Zhao Xian.
With this imperial edict, no one can stop the Guards from continuing to investigate the matter.
In the side hall of the Misty Rain Palace.
Baofu ran towards the piano room in panic.
Because she ran so fast, the pearl hairpin on her head was about to fall off.
But she didn't even have time to reach out and help.
When she rushed into the piano room, she immediately fell to her knees.
"Saito, please save me!"
Yan Cairen was playing the piano when she was suddenly interrupted. She couldn't help but frown and asked unhappily.
"Why are you so flustered?"
Baofu raised his head, revealing a little face that was pale with fear.
She pleaded tremblingly.
“The Emperor has issued an order allowing the Imperial Guards to take away the head maids and all the female officials from each palace for questioning.
Now General Zhao has led his men to capture people, and they will soon arrive at the Misty Rain Palace.
I will definitely be taken away by them!
Please, for the sake of my loyalty, save me! ?
After saying that, she began to kowtow hard, and her forehead made a thumping sound on the hard ground.
Soon her forehead was broken and blood oozed out.
Coupled with her panic-stricken look, she looked particularly embarrassed.
