Qingwen handed out the bloody nvhong with both hands. Before Zhu Zhirui could catch it, she was grabbed by Su Xuan with one hand and snatched it away.
Zhu Zhirui just glanced briefly and didn't think Su Xuan was so abrupt. She just frowned and continued to ask: "When did it happen?"
Qingwen sobbed and explained: "It was late last night that the slave saw that the door to the master's room was not closed, and wanted to go in and take a look. As soon as he entered the door, he found the master sitting on the wooden table beside the bed, embroidered with female red, and there was a corpse under his feet. , the room was full of people, and the leader wanted the slave's life, but for some reason, he just knocked me out. When I came up this morning, I found that the master was gone!"
As she spoke, Qingwen recalled the scene last night. Her heart was filled with indescribable bitterness. She was so sad for a moment that she couldn't straighten out the logic behind it. She could only cry and plead: "Your Majesty, please forgive me." Find these villains!"
From the corner of her eye, Zhu Zhirui looked at the nühong spread out in Su Xuan's hands. The bottom corner was embroidered with a simple word "Su" with cyan needlework. A strange emotion emerged in her heart. At the same time, she helped Qingwen up with both hands. , comforted softly: "In the harem, my concubine was kidnapped. It is not a trivial matter. Don't worry! Qingwen, I will let Jin Yiwei investigate this matter properly. You go back first. It's not good to cry outside."
After comforting Qingwen, Zhu Zhirui waved to a guard not far away.
"Someone, escort Miss Qingwen back to Yonghe Palace!"
Zhu Zhirui was naturally tall, a head taller than the malnourished Qingwen, and only a little shorter than Su Xuan. The former rubbed Qingwen's head dotingly with one hand, guarding He also followed. At this time, Su Xuan still didn't speak, but simply rubbed the unfinished nvhong, the word 'Su' in the inconspicuous corner.
Su Xuan didn't even remember when he had such a need. Maybe he just said it inadvertently and was suddenly remembered by Rong Gui and took action... The expression on Su Xuan's face was only indifference. Not for the Rong nobles, but for those who have kidnapped their sister Rong.
When Qingwen was far away, Zhu Zhirui gently reminded Su Xuan, who was immersed in some unknown emotion, and said, "Master Su, why don't you go to the court with me?"
Su Xuan nodded and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Simple stone paths, most of which are found in the entire palace. Except for the trimmed garden next to it, which must be a cobblestone path, the rest are all made of this kind of cyan stone. Whenever it is a rainy season, , There will always be some small water accumulation on the bluestone pavement, and the road surface will also be slippery.
Su Xuan lowered his head and followed the empress Zhu Zhirui. In fact, in his heart, he had no doubt that all the actions were done by the monarch in front of him, who was more than ten thousand people. However, he did not expect the reason. There is an intuition that the empress in front must know something, otherwise even if she is a concubine who has been relegated to the cold palace, at least in terms of title, she is still the emperor's concubine. Even if she is an ordinary family, her own concubine is bullied. , would not act so indifferently at all, but for the empress, there seemed to be no ups and downs in her emotions. This was the strangest thing about Su Xuan.
"Master Su?"
Zhu Zhirui's cold voice came, and Su Xuan responded: "Wei Chen is here."
"What do you think about this matter?"
Su Xuan pondered for a while, then hid the female red hair in his sleeve without leaving any trace.
"Weichen's thoughts... This matter is not a trivial matter. What Qingwen said is that there were many people in the room and a corpse, which means something happened in the middle. This matter needs to be investigated carefully!"
Zhu Zhirui nodded and said slowly: "Mr. Su, your analysis is good, but the most important thing is that the time of this incident is too strange. The tragedy of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet has just passed, and the rebellion in the palace has just passed." We have just finished dealing with it, and the remnants of the Jin Yiwei have not yet been eliminated. This series of events has just come to an end, and now such an incident occurs again. Mr. Su, do you understand what I mean..."
Su Xuan followed the empress in small steps. He did not answer in a hurry, but paused slightly.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that these series of incidents are not individual, but someone is controlling the situation from behind?" Su Xuan didn't really think so, he just followed Zhu Zhirui's words. After all, the tragedy of the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet From what I heard from Guanchao Lake, it was just a play directed and performed by the woman in front of me. As for the actions of King Xun in the palace, as well as the remnants of the remnants of the royal guards, they were also from the King Xun faction.
Now that King Xun is apparently dead, he will naturally not extend his minions to the Ronggui people. So at least Su Xuan's consideration now is not to combine all things together, but to think about each thing individually. to consider.
I thought Zhu Zhirui would take over what Su Xuan said as deception, but the former just shook his head.
"Master Su, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that now the reputation of the imperial palace has been affected, and the reputation of the Great Xia Dynasty has also been affected. The barbarians outside the border and the sects in the Central Plains are all ready to make moves. So... what I mean is that there is no need to search for information and clues about this matter."
Su Xuan was silent and did not answer.
"Master Su, this matter is not a trivial matter, but at this time, it cannot be investigated openly. Now I order you to be responsible for this incident! Find my concubine!"
"I obey!" Su Xuan knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists with his hands, and placed them in front of his forehead.
Zhu Zhirui helped Su Xuan up with both hands.
"Master Su, I have great faith in your ability, but what I want in this matter is to keep it a secret. Do it secretly. Don't let people with bad intentions know about it. Use this matter to publicize it and affect the reputation inside and outside the palace. Moreover, I can't match you with some good players. If Mr. Su has a suitable candidate, just tell me directly. Later, I will ask someone to send you a Jinyiwei token, which can mobilize the Jinyiwei internal elimination command. personnel other than envoys.”
"Wei Chen understands!" Su Xuan still simply agreed and did not make too many demands. After all, judging from what the empress said, she was not too concerned, but gave full authority to herself with responsibility and power.
"Master Su, I still have to remind you that that token can mobilize no more than three people."
