"His Majesty."
Lan Jiuyun took a step forward and then saluted respectfully.
Zhao Hongyin looked at Lan Jiuyun in the audience. This was the queen designated by his mother before her death.
Even though he couldn't get up now, looking at Lan Jiuyun who was overwhelmingly in front of him, the feeling of conquest in his heart once again emerged.
She then asked: "My beloved concubine, what's wrong?"
"Back to Your Majesty, today I, together with thousands of households from the Divine Catching Division, have come to see you."
Lan Jiuyun turned to look at Xue Mu and introduced: "This is Xue Mu, Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division."
Hearing the name Xue Mu, Zhao Hongyin started thinking.
He seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
When Xue Mu heard Lan Jiuyun introduce himself, he stepped forward and saluted: "The humble minister Xue Mu has met your majesty, long live my emperor."
"No courtesy." Zhao Hongyin glanced at Xue Mu and found that his eyes were invisible, so he asked, "Your eyes."
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen's eyes suffer from an eye disease, so he cannot see." Xue Mu explained.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongyin remembered the person Nangong Wei had talked about before.
It seems to be him.
[Is he the man Nangong Xue likes? 】
Zhao Hongyin looked up and down.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyin didn't speak, Xue Mu was also waiting.
After a while, he finally spoke: "I heard that Xue Qianhu solved major cases one after another before, and Commander Lu even praised you specially."
"Thanks to the kindness of Your Majesty and Commander Lu, these are what subordinates should do." Xue Mu, as a smooth-tongued first-rate person, naturally said these polite words flawlessly.
Zhao Hongyin listened, nodded and said, "Is there anything you want to report to me when you come today?"
Lan Jiuyun was worried that if Xue Mu revealed the cat demon case in the harem, His Majesty would probably be angry.
So she decided to tell the matter in advance.
She interrupted in advance: "Your Majesty, there was a case in the harem."
Zhao Hongyin knew it, but still pretended to ask: "Oh? What case?"
Lan Jiuyun saw that Zhao Hongyin didn't seem to know, so he quickly explained: "There was a cat monster case in the harem before. Every night there was always a scary cat meowing in one place, and then the next day there would be sounds outside other palaces. A body was found in the well."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Hongyin was not in a hurry and cooperated with Lan Jiuyun. He continued to ask: "Did you catch the murderer?"
"This case has been detected by Xue Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Department, and it was committed by the eunuch of Xin Zheku." Lan Jiuyun replied.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyin looked at Xue Mu: "How did you solve the case?"
"Judging from the locations of the murders by the mastermind behind the scenes, they form a line one by one, and the end of that line is Leng Palace." Xue Mu replied.
Zhao Hongyin was not surprised, but continued to ask: "You can't see, how do you know the bedroom where each murder is committed?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I can make up my mind."
"Not bad, he is quite a talent."
When Zhao Hongyin heard the word Leng Gong, he curiously asked: "What is the relationship between Leng Gong and this eunuch?"
Xue Mu explained: "According to our investigation, this eunuch from Xinzheku had served an empress in the cold palace before."
"Who is it?" Zhao Hongyin asked.
"Concubine Yu."
After hearing about Concubine Yu, Zhao Hongyin thought about it.
Feng Xi on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, this Concubine Yu pushed the eldest prince into the water in the back garden five years ago, so your Majesty sent her to the cold palace."
"Oh, I remembered it." Zhao Hongyin looked at Xue Mu: "Then what does this cat demon case have to do with Concubine Yu?"
"My subordinate learned from the man behind the scenes that when he was serving Concubine Yu, he believed that Concubine Yu would never do such a thing and she must have been framed."
Xue Mu replied: "That's why he did so many things to draw everyone's attention to this unjust case five years ago."
"Unjust case?"
When Zhao Hongyin heard these two words, he prolonged the sound.
Because, in his eyes.
There can be no injustice.
But on the one hand, he was also curious about how Xue Mu would continue, so he continued to ask: "Then what do you think?"
"Five years ago, I didn't know about this matter, so after comprehensive consideration, I can only boldly come to ask Your Majesty."
When Feng Xi heard this, he didn't dare to speak.
He looked at Zhao Hongyin's face and began to ponder his emotions.
And Xue Mu is also waiting, he knows.
There are two big figures on the stage now.
One is a son of a country in Daqing.
The other was a thin, inoffensive-looking eunuch.
But in fact, the eunuch in front of him was very powerful.
It was even so strong that Lu Jianghe and Murong Dai combined couldn't compare.
This made Xue Mu dare not act rashly.
certainly.
He never thought about what to do to Zhao Hongyin.
After all, he is now the Senhu of the Divine Catcher Division.
Take the salary from the court.
If he kills the emperor directly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he will succeed.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the palace alive.
The risk factor is too great.
It's not worth Xue Mu doing this at all.
He knew that Murong Dai wanted to kill this dog emperor all the time.
But Xue Mu couldn't exchange his life for hers.
After all, there are Leng Mei and Xu Ruyan at home.
Now he knew that there was a master beside the emperor.
He could also tell Murong Dai the news.
Tell her not to be impulsive.
Think more about the consequences of everything.
At this time, Zhao Hongyin finally spoke and asked Xue Mu: "Five years ago, I took the concubines from the harem to play in the back garden."
"The eldest prince and the second prince were also there. While everyone was having fun, the eldest prince fell into the water. Many people jumped into the water to save him."
"After being rescued ashore, the eldest prince pointed at Concubine Yu and told me that she was the one who pushed him into the water."
Zhao Hongyin was surprisingly cooperative this time.
This surprised Lan Jiuyun in the audience.
You know, this is the first time in three years that she has seen Zhao Hongyin be so patient.
When Lan Jiuyun thought that Zhao Hongyin also wanted to help Concubine Yu in the cold palace to overturn the case, Zhao Hongyin did not expect that Zhao Hongyin said directly: "The evidence for this matter is conclusive. The eldest prince Zhao Ji personally identified it. What else is there to say?"
Xue Mu knew that Zhao Hongyin would say this, so he quickly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, I have met the eldest prince before. He is tall and strong, and he is a strong young man."
"But five years ago, my subordinates didn't know what he looked like."
Zhao Hongyin explained: "Five years ago, he was as tall as me."
"Although I suffer from eye disease, your Majesty's words are very powerful. I believe that the eldest prince must have inherited your Majesty's unique temperament, while Concubine Yu is just a thin woman."
"If it were a sneak attack, it would still be possible to push the eldest prince into the water. But if it was a sneak attack, then why can the eldest prince be so sure that the person who pushed him into the water was Concubine Yu?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hongyin thought for a moment.
Indeed.
If it is a positive push.
With the eldest prince Zhao Ji's physique and reflexes, it was impossible for him to be pushed into the water.
And he naturally knew Concubine Yu's body shape.
After all, he directly put his hands on Concubine Yu's waist and lifted her up to move.
Although it is impossible for a horse to trample a flying swallow, it can still be described with this idiom.
And if it is a sneak attack.
How could Zhao Ji point at Concubine Yu as soon as he landed on the beach and say that she pushed him into the water?
Now that Xue Mu explained it like this, Zhao Hongyin felt that this incident back then was a little more strange.
So he asked: "Then have you found out some truth?"
"Currently, my subordinates have not found anything." Xue Mu explained.
"Then there's no need to check."
Hearing this, Lan Jiuyun was stunned for a moment.
But Xue Mu was not surprised.
He knew that it had been five years since this happened, and finding the truth was not easy.
and.
Does the truth really matter?
No, it's not important at all.
As long as the eldest prince is okay that year, this is the most important thing.
As for Concubine Yu, she was just wronged for five years.
Then Zhao Hongyin looked at Feng Xi: "Go, restore the title of Concubine Yu, and make arrangements to leave the cold palace from now on."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Xi nodded in response.
After hearing these words, Lan Jiuyun was also surprised.
She didn't expect that Zhao Hongyin would actually listen to Xue Mu's words.
"Xue Mu."
"Wei Chen is here."
"What reward do you want for your success in solving the case?" Zhao Hongyin asked with interest.
"It is your honor to share your Majesty's worries. I don't need any reward." Xue Mu replied.
So these are also official clichés.
But Xue Mu really felt that he did not need the reward.
Take too much.
Naturally, it will be returned one day.
Now, he just wants to keep his salary from the court.
Add in the money you earn from writing storybooks, and you'll gradually become rich, and that's it.
Zhao Hongyin thought he was pretending to refuse, so he asked, "I really don't want it."
"Your Majesty, your subordinates really just want to share your Majesty's worries and are not qualified to ask for rewards."
"Okay, let's keep this reward in mind for now. If you want something one day, just tell me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, step back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Lan Jiuyun saw this, he also saluted and said, "I, my concubine, will also retire first."
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hongyin looked at Feng Xi and said, "Go, remember to check what happened five years ago."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng Xi also left.
In the entire palace, except for the maids holding official fans on both sides, Zhao Hongyin was the only one sitting on the dragon chair, thinking about something.
Walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Lan Jiuyun looked at Xue Mu beside him and asked, "Weren't you scared just now?"
Xue Mu replied: "Reply to the empress, I am afraid."
"Then you still dare to say it."
"But Wei Chen feels that if there is an unjust case, he should try to solve it. Only in this way can he be worthy of his official uniform."
Xue Mu's words actually made Lan Jiuyun look twice.
Yes, these three years of palace life.
It made her feel more and more how hypocritical people's hearts were.
Each of the court officials did not think about how to benefit the people.
Instead, they engage in intrigues and develop their own power as much as possible.
They don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all.
After she became a famous general, if it weren't for His Majesty's mother, she had to force Zhao Hongyin to make her the queen.
It is estimated that she will not stay in this deep palace forever.
Thinking of this, she inevitably felt a little lonely.
Xue Mu seemed to feel Lan Jiuyun's mood.
Then he asked carefully: "Is the Queen worried?"
Lan Jiuyun came back to his senses and asked, "How did you know?"
"Feel."
"Feeling?" Lan Jiuyun laughed: "Your feeling is quite accurate."
"Queen, if you are in a bad mood, I have a solution."
"What method?"
"It's nothing."
"What does it mean to be idle?" Lan Jiuyun became curious.
"To float is to throw a smooth stone into the water and let it bounce up and down on the water."
Listening to what Xue Mu said, Lan Jiuyun suddenly felt incredible: "How is it possible? When a stone falls into the water, it sinks. How can it be bounced?"
Xue Mu knew that she didn't believe it, so he asked the maid next to him to take them to the lake not far away.
In the palace, the most abundant thing is the lake.
The beautiful scenery, there are even many concubines hanging out here.
When they saw Lan Jiuyun walking in this direction, they were all frightened and immediately stood up and waited.
"I've met the Queen."
"Get up."
Lan Jiuyun looked at them and knew that his arrival had made them more restrained.
But she didn't come here today to talk to them.
But I wanted to verify what Xue Mu said.
Xue Mu and the maid beside him said, "Sister, please help me find some smooth stones."
The maid looked at Lan Jiuyun.
Lan Jiuyun nodded.
The maid then started looking around.
When the concubines around them saw what Lan Jiuyun and the man wearing the clothes of the Chief Inspector were talking about, they became curious for a moment.
"What are they doing?"
"have no idea."
"What are you talking about?"
"I heard that the cat monster case has been solved."
"Really? That's great. I can't sleep every night these days."
"Isn't it the case that this detective has solved?"
"Have you noticed that this **** hunter seems to be blind."
"Yes, it's a pity, he looks so handsome."
"You dare to say this on such an occasion, in case you are..."
These whispers were discussions in a low voice.
I didn't dare to speak too loudly at all.
The maid found several smooth stones and handed them to Xue Mu.
Lan Jiuyun frowned and said, "You can't see, how can you float pebbles on the water?"
"Queen, it's up to you."
The next second, Xue Mu threw a pebble out.
Lan Jiuyun looked in the direction.
His eyes widened for a moment.
Small pebbles kept floating on the surface of the water until they reached the water dozens of meters away.
This scene also stunned the concubines around him.
What technology is this? !
Lan Jiuyun was also surprised.
I saw Xue Mu throwing another pebble out.
Same place, same floating on the water.
When the pebbles reached the back, they even caused ripples.
It looks very nice.
The concubines nearby all screamed excitedly.
"Ahhh! This is so awesome!"
"Yes! How did you do it!"
"That's awesome!"
Even Lan Jiuyun couldn't help but ask: "What kind of technique is this? How can it be so powerful?"
For a time, the Queen and the Empress began to worship him.
