This letter was sent by Zhang Dehai. Different from the past, this time the letter contained only one thing.
But just this incident made Liu Qi's mood suddenly agitated, just because it was written on the letter.
While investigating the information about the Queen and Empress Lu, I accidentally heard from the palace maid that there was a crazy old palace maid in a courtyard in the harem.
The old palace maid was named Xizhu. She was originally serving Concubine Shun, but after Concubine Shun passed away, there was no news in the palace.
After Zhang Dehai learned about this, he wanted to take care of him. Liu Qi knew that this was just to create a good impression in front of him.
But when he met this Xi Zhu, he learned something extremely shocking.
At the beginning, when Zhang Dehai saw her, he heard her mumbling constantly.
"Someone! Someone!"
I heard from other palace maids that she has always been like this, saying something like "someone" crazily and no one knew what it meant.
In addition to this most uttered sentence, she also giggled or panicked from time to time.
It is understood that after Concubine Shun died, she became like this. Because she could not take care of herself, she would not be able to survive if she was released from the palace.
Thinking that he had served Concubine Shun well for many years, he stayed in the courtyard and did the job of wiping toilets.
Seeing that she was pitiful, Zhang Dehai thought that relying on the power he could still exercise, he arranged for her to be in a relatively better environment.
Washing fruits and vegetables, such a simple task, is better than cleaning the toilet, at least you don't have to stay in a dirty environment.
But Zhang Dehai never expected it.
On the first day I took Xizhu to the place where fruits and vegetables are washed, something happened.
When they were on a rockery on the path, Xizhu became very excited for some reason and started shouting.
They kept shouting.
"Someone! Someone!"
Zhang Dehai thought that she was sick again, and it was more serious, so he wanted to find a doctor in the palace to take a look at her, at least to find a way to stabilize her condition first.
However, when they were alone with her, the crazy Xizhu suddenly pointed at the door.
"Someone!"
"Empress Shun Fei was killed!"
Zhang Dehai was frightened when he said these words.
Even if she is crazy, she can't say such things casually.
The keen Zhang Dehai felt that since she said this, there must be something fishy in it.
But after asking a few more times, Crazy Xizhu never said anything like this again.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Dehai didn't show her a doctor, nor did he arrange for her to clean fruits and vegetables. Once again, he sent her back to her original place.
Probably because he got used to it, Xizhu became much more normal after returning, and the so-called normal was just not so crazy.
The matter was so serious that Zhang Dehai felt that there must be something going on here, so he wrote a letter and asked a reliable person to send it to Pingcheng...
It can be said that part of the reason for Liu Qi's excitement comes from the memory of his predecessor.
Although his biological mother passed away when he was young and didn't have much memory of her, he could hear from other people that she was a very, very good person.
Both the palace and the ministers in the court respected her very much.
Concubine Shun was killed?
Liu Qi felt as if his heart was being pulled.
Regardless of whether what the crazy palace maid said was true, there must be something unknown about the death of her biological mother.
But after a moment of silence, Liu Qi couldn't help but think to himself.
Concubine Shun was the concubine that the emperor loved most, and the one he really wanted to make his queen.
If the mother died unexpectedly, this incident would definitely cause a great sensation, and there might not be any record in the palace. It's impossible that no one knows.
Moreover, the father loves his mother so much, so he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly at all costs.
is fake? Is the palace maid just talking nonsense?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
But if it was really an accident, why didn't my father say anything? Why is there no news about this in the palace?
Why is it that according to everyone's oral accounts, the mother and queen died of illness?
Many questions filled Liu Qi's mind.
At this time, Liu Qi's expression was very serious, and he immediately asked Zhao Wenhui to find banknotes, and then wrote a reply to Zhang Dehai.
The mission is very simple, that is, he must keep an eye on the Crazy Xizhu, and there must be no accidents before he goes back.
Secondly, don’t pay too much attention to her. If someone notices something, she may be in danger...
"Qin Lieutenant, take this letter immediately and pass it to Zhang Dehai in Qingdu."
Seeing Liu Qi's solemn expression, Qin Wei immediately followed the order without asking any questions.
As soon as he left, Liu Qi leaned on his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.
No matter what, he must investigate this matter thoroughly!
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Even if what the palace maid said is false, it must be confirmed.
If it's true...then this is a big deal.
Liu Qi couldn't imagine what happened that could make his father unmoved. Moreover, there was no news in the palace.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Liu Qi was not in a good mood, Zhao Wenhui walked behind him and gently squeezed his shoulders.
Liu Qi smiled slightly.
"It's okay, it's just that there are a lot of trivial matters in the palace, so this article is a little annoying."
He did not tell the truth. After all, this matter was of great importance. Even the closest people knew the less the better.
After enjoying Zhao Wenhui's massage for a while, Liu Qi finally calmed down.
Now, the contents of the three letters can be said to show that the palace is extremely unstable and there are great changes at any time.
I am outside, even if I get this news, I can't control anything.
It would be a lie to say there is no rush, but right now, the most important thing is to solve the Xiongnu problem as soon as possible.
Only by defeating the Xiongnu and relying on this achievement can we be able to deal with the chaotic situation in the palace.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly became firm.
He walked slowly to the window.
Wow!
As soon as the window was opened, a gust of cold wind came in, which made people feel very alert.
"Your Highness, you are wearing very little and we are so close to each other. I will go find you some clothes right now."
But just as Zhao Wenhui was about to leave, Liu Qi said something incomprehensible.
"I just hope that this year's snow will be heavier."
Zhao Wenhui thought about it again and again, but didn't understand what Liu Qi meant, so she turned around and left to get the prince some thicker clothes.
But at this moment, Liu Qi pulled her over and took her into his arms.
Zhao Wenhui lowered her head shyly.
"Your Highness, there are people outside. I...I'll get you some clothes."
But instead of letting go, Liu Qi grabbed Zhao Wenhui harder and directly pulled Zhao Wenhui into his arms.
"It doesn't matter. If we stick closer together, it will naturally get warmer."
