After leaving Furong Hall, Li Qingyi walked to Princess Yuanheng and asked, "Mother, is there anyone else in the palace?"
Princess Yuanheng nodded, "Qin Zeng has so many things to be busy with. He definitely doesn't have time to keep an eye on Liang Guiren's case. He also called people from Dali Temple, and the Empress sent her confidants to come. .”
Li Qingyi raised his head and looked towards the eldest princess.
The people from Dali Temple were talking to her.
Princess Deqing said: "The emperor's intention is for Dali Temple to find out the facts of the case within three days."
Cui Chun, the young minister of Dali Temple, had a sad face. He didn't even see the corpse, so how could he investigate the case?
"Master Qin..."
Qin Zeng's face was expressionless, "I don't have time, so I can only tell you the truth about what I just saw."
Cui Chun had a sore look on his face, and then Qin Zeng said, "However, the emperor has authorized Miss Li to participate in this case and help Dali Temple to find out the matter."
Li Qingyi was almost frightened by his words.
Qin Zeng waved to her in front of everyone's astonished eyes, "Come here."
Li Qingyi walked over with stiff steps and greeted Cui Chunfu, "Master Cui."
This is not the first time that the two have met. Last time at the Wei family, someone used poisonous spiders to frame Li Qingyi for killing the concubine of three wives, and it was Cui Chun who was responsible.
Cui Chun was deeply impressed by Li Qingyi and said with a smile, "Miss Li."
The eldest princess of Deqing had no doubts or doubts about the emperor's decision and said, "Since the emperor trusts Miss Li, it is up to you to worry about this matter."
Li Qingyi responded: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, is very polite. I will do my best."
In Yuntai Hall, the ladies and daughters who did not follow them to Furong Hall for fear of getting into trouble have been left alone for nearly an hour. When they saw that there were suddenly more guards everywhere, they inevitably started talking.
Everyone stretched their necks, almost impatient to wait, and Li Qingyi and others finally followed the eldest princess back to the crowd.
Wei Laner was with the others just now and did not go with him. When he saw Li Qingyi coming back, he immediately asked: "Why have you been gone so long? What happened to Mr. Liang?"
Li Qingyi shook his head and signaled her not to ask any more questions.
Wei Laner looked at the face of the eldest princess and saw that her expression was extremely poor and gloomy, so he knowingly gave up the idea of asking and sat back down in his seat.
Everyone present today, regardless of their identity, will be traced one by one.
Li Qingyi was silently calculating in his mind, wondering if there was anything strange about everyone's behavior tonight.
By the time everyone left the Fanghua Palace, it was already the zenith of the moon.
Everyone left one after another, and Mu Lan also boarded the carriage back home. She and Qi Shi, the eldest wife of the Mu family, were the only ones in the car.
It was getting late, and there was only the sound of rolling wheels. The hair of the two people in the car was ruffled by the cold wind that penetrated the car curtains, and they couldn't help but tighten their cloaks.
Qi leaned a little tiredly on the thick brocade cushions in the car, with a hint of worry between her brows.
Mu Lan picked up the beauty hammer on the side and gently lifted her legs, and asked softly: "Mother seems to have some doubts about today's events?"
Qi looked at her with cold eyes and said, "Just Qin Zeng, why did the emperor let Li Qingyi participate in the investigation of Liang Guiren's death?"
Mu Lan raised her eyes. The cold night made her face dark. She frowned and said, "My sister died in her hands. She is indeed a disaster. There are rumors that Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng have a close relationship, but we have not checked it yet." Find out why they met each other, and if they can't control things, they should get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to become a disaster in the future."
Hearing her mention Mu Ying, there was a sinister look on Qi's face for a moment, and there was some unexplainable ambiguity in her expression. After a while, she said, "Even so, how can she be blamed for Liang Guiren's death?" No? She’s just a little girl, so there’s no need to cause trouble for her. Besides, the imperial concubine loves Ying’er so much and hates Li Qingyi so much that she will kill her sooner or later.”
Mu Lan was silent for a moment, thinking about Li Qingyi's clear and striking eyes, she was secretly frightened for a while, and said: "Yes, female
I know. But if there is a chance, my daughter feels that she would rather kill by mistake than let it go. "
"That's natural. If you notice something, mother will naturally trust your judgment."
Then Qi Shi turned the topic to Liang Guiren and said, "Do you have any idea about Liang Guiren's death?"
Mu Lan's eyes flickered, lowered her eyes, and said cautiously: "I have no clue. My daughter can't figure out who would kill a good nobleman, and what is the benefit of killing her."
Qi Shi also looked puzzled and said: "Although she is somewhat favored at the moment, she is no different from other concubines. In comparison, her father is just a mere censor Zhongcheng. How can it hinder others? ?Even if she gives birth to a prince, he is just one of them. I really didn’t understand it.”
"Hmm..." Mu Lan said "hmm" thoughtfully, but there was no follow-up.
After a long time, Qi suddenly said: "I'm just afraid, because the death of a good nobleman will involve things that shouldn't be exposed to others..."
Mu Lan was shocked and a little confused, "What could be involved in the death of Mr. Liang?"
Qi Shi glanced at her and whispered to her the reason why the noble nobleman entered the palace...
At this time, Li Qingyi and his party also left Fanghua Palace, and the carriage was waiting not far away.
Also waiting not far away was Cui Chun, the young minister of Dali Temple.
When Cui Chun saw her and Qin Zeng coming out, he was overjoyed and hurriedly came over, "Oh... Mr. Qin, you see, this matter is really difficult to handle..."
Qin Zeng said: "Although this matter is strange, you can just investigate it step by step. However, under no circumstances should you treat the emperor just because you can't see the body. Otherwise, you are likely to be angered."
Cui Chun bowed his waist and lowered his head. After hearing this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He didn't know how to reply to Qin Zeng's words, but he heard him say: "You can trust Miss Li's vision. With her help, I think it will be better." Not bad."
Cui Chun didn't expect Qin Zeng to really ask Li Qingyi to help. He was a little suspicious and nodded hurriedly.
He looked at Princess Yuanheng and said, "Princess, you see, since it is something the Emperor promised, Miss Li will come to Dali Temple tomorrow to participate in the case."
Princess Yuanheng didn't know what the emperor meant by doing this, but she felt that the matter had something to do with Qin Zeng.
At this time, she looked at Qin Zeng like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, so she lost her previous scruples and said, "Master Qin, my daughter is still young, so I have Master Lao to take care of her all the time."
Qin Zeng was a little surprised at the change in Princess Yuanheng's attitude, but he didn't show it on his face and said, "That's natural, Princess, just don't worry."
Princess Yuanheng was very satisfied and took Li Qingyi and Wei Jiner into the carriage.
Wei Jin'er finally had a chance to speak, "Mother, why did you agree to let your sister really investigate Mr. Liang's matter? What if we get into trouble?"
Princess Yuanheng said: "The emperor only asked Qingyi to help with the investigation, but did not say that she must help find the real culprit. Besides, this matter is the emperor's order, and your sister cannot disobey the emperor's order. In addition, there are Mr. Qin will take care of you and everything will be fine."
But she thought for a while and then said: "Qingyi, having said that, if you really find something, you must act cautiously and know what you should say and what you should not say."
Li Qingyi nodded, "Yes, mother, I understand."
Several people were silent, the carriage became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Although Li Qingyi learned about his parents' past and resolved many misunderstandings about Princess Yuanheng, he still couldn't change his attitude and get close to her immediately. It would take time to relax.
And Wei Jin'er was even more embarrassed. She could neither treat Li Qingyi with a fake face like before, nor could she talk to him about everything like her sisters.
Li Qingyi sighed secretly.
If she had known earlier, she should have taken a carriage with Wei Laner. Anyway, Mu Yao had already left with the people from Mu Mansion.
Thinking of Mu Yao, she didn't finish her words today, and she didn't know what she saw in Mu Family Shiro's letter...
As she thought about it, sleepiness hit her, and she fell asleep leaning against the car wall, hazy.
Someone suddenly tightened her cloak to keep out the cold air.
On the second day, Li Qingyi woke up early before dawn.
Isatis came over to serve, "Why did the girl wake up so early?"
"Over and over again in my dream were scenes of noble people dying tragically, so I just got up."
She left the house and went to the yard to practice her martial arts skills. Qin Zeng's voice suddenly came from behind her, "You came home so late last night and you actually got up so early to practice martial arts?"
Li Qingyi turned around and stopped, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here, sir?"
Qin Zeng wondered why her little grappling skills were so consistent with what he was used to, even the subtle movements and habits were almost the same. However, he did not reveal it, but talked about the case last night.
"Let me tell you about Mr. Liang."
Li Qingyi originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Qin Zeng, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come to him and explain: "My lord, come at this hour, if I haven't gotten up yet, will you wait in my yard?"
"No." Qin Zeng's expression did not change at all and he said calmly, "I will wake you up."
Li Qingyi rolled his eyes in his heart. His tenderness when he was injured that day was like an illusion.
Qin Zeng seemed as if he had never said those words.
I don't know if he did it on purpose.
Li Qingyi looked at the injured area on Qin Zeng's shoulder, raised his hand to invite him into the room, and asked: "Why did the emperor ask me to help? Could it be the Lord's suggestion?"
Qin Zeng glanced at her and did not answer, but said: "My time is limited, please listen carefully. There are some things that you can find out, so I might as well tell you directly, so that you don't have to work hard to find out and waste time." .”
Li Qingyi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Qin Zeng was noncommittal and said: "Before Liang Gui entered the palace, there was a marriage that was planned. But after the news that the emperor intended to let Liang Gui enter the palace reached Pan's house, the marriage ended."
The description of "let it go" seems to be too simple for a marriage that takes place on the fingertips.
