It's a short time to leave Lingbao Temple (13:35).

Xu Qi'an went into the palace, asked the bodyguard to pass on the news, and waited for a quarter of an hour at the gate of the palace. At the end of the fourth quarter, he waited for the little eunuch.

"Lord Xu, how can we find out next?" Asked the little eunuch.

"Go to the Phoenix Palace to find the queen... You don't need to inform your Majesty in advance to see the queen, do you?" Xu Qian Road.

The little eunuch waved his hand, "Your Majesty said that in the harem, you can go wherever you want. Of course, the premise is to have a slave to accompany, especially to see the princess and queen

Xu Qi'an nodded.

Women who want to see the emperor, of course, can't see them in private.

The full name of the Phoenix Palace is Fengqi palace, which is the largest and most luxurious palace in the back palace, excluding the emperor's bedroom.

When I came to Fengqi palace, I learned that the empress was taking a nap. Xu Qi'an and the little eunuch had been waiting for half an hour in the corridor outside. A beautiful palace maid came to pass a message:

"the empress is awake, please go over."

Xu Qi'an then entered the hall and met the empress of Mu Yi in the luxurious front hall. She was wearing a dark Phoenix robe embroidered with gold silk and a gorgeous wind crown.

Dai Mei is picturesque and her mouth is plump. She is no longer young, but her face is full of collagen, and she is not old at all. This makes her flawless beauty of flourishing age add the charm of a mature woman.

Among the beauties I've met, she can rank in the top two, and Luo Yuheng ranks first. But the national master has his own charm and buff bonus, while the queen relies on her own hardware... When such a woman is a queen, no one in the harem can fight.

Some of them should keep the same etiquette as foreign ministers.

"Sure enough, young talents."

Obviously, the empress is also a Yan Kong. She looks at Xu Qi'an and nods with satisfaction: "Huaiqing often mentions you in front of our palace and appreciates you. I've also heard of your stories of solving strange cases in Beijing. "

The first impression on both sides was good.

I don't know if Xu Qi'an feels good about himself. He thinks that the queen appreciates him very much and doesn't notice him at all.

"Wei Yuan is very lucky to have such an excellent subordinate as you." The empress said softly, "show Mr. Xu tea."

The maid of honor offered the hot tea. Xu Qi'an took it with both hands, but did not drink it. He asked straightforwardly, "I'm here for the Fu Fei case. I have a few questions to ask the empress."

"Mr. Xu, please."

"Do you know Huang xiaorou

"I don't know." The queen shook her head.

"Is there a maid named he'er in the empress's palace?"

"Yes." The queen was silent for a few seconds and nodded slowly.

"Mammy Rong of crab Pavilion said that four years ago, Huang xiaorou committed suicide for no reason. At that time, the palace maid who lived in the same room with her saved her. The palace maid was the lotus in the empress's palace."

"He Er has never been to crab Pavilion." The queen denied it directly.

Xu Qi'an continued: "after the humble post-mortem examination, it was found that Huang xiaorou, the maid in waiting, was fatally injured. It was not a maid in waiting or a doctor in the imperial medical department. It must have been a panacea. "

The empress stares at Xu Qi'an, light way: "Xu adult this words, can have evidence?"

"The body is the proof."

"What about pills?"

"... No." Xu Qi'an shook his head.

Is the queen tearing up the revenue and expenditure records of the imperial pharmacy?

The queen nodded and said in a soft voice, "I'm tired of this palace. Please send Mr. Xu out of the palace."

Xu Fengmu just got up and left the palace.

...

Xu Qi'an looked at the sun and said, "little father-in-law, have you finished the list you asked you to collect?"

The little eunuch took out a folded rice paper from his arms and said, "I'm going to give it to Lord Xu."

It's true. It's very efficient. It's really trained in the imperial palace.

Xu Qi'an opened the list and glanced at it, which listed a dozen maids, servants and bodyguards.

"Let's check one by one according to the list above." Xu Qian said.

"On the Queen's side..."

"naturally, it can't be found out."

Xu Qi'an sighed. Although emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty gave him great privileges, he would check who he wanted, but the empress didn't cooperate when she was killed. Xu Qi'an couldn't do it.

But one thing is certain, that is, the queen has a ghost in her heart.

It can't really be the queen. Isn't Huaiqing very pitiful. Shouldn't I check it out. But if you don't check, isn't mounting very pitiful? Come, come, choose one of the two Shura field... Xu Qi'an sighed silently in his heart.

But then again, the queen is really beautiful. Old age has such charm, young how beautiful, no wonder to become a queen.

There are some similarities between Huaiqing and the empress."In comparison, I think Luo Yuheng is better, because she can satisfy my various tastes... Oh, so can Su Su."

Xu Qi'an can't help but think of what Taoist priest Jinlian said just now. Luo Yuheng has the appearance of all living beings, and can let men see the one he likes. What he sees is a young woman in her twenties, a young woman in her thirties, a mature woman in her forties...

"I really don't want to admit that I am lustful."

In the next hour, Xu Qi'an checked the people on the list. Because of the limited time, he had to leave the palace before the palace closed, so he had only one-third time to check.

In the loud bell, he left the palace smoothly, took his own little mare from the hands of Yu Lin Wei, took back the black gold sword from the prison, and left the palace slowly.

At this time, the sunset is only the afterglow.

When the curfew began, the pedestrians on the street had already disappeared. Xu Qi'an was wearing a watchman uniform and had a gold medal beside him. Except for the inside of the palace, the rest of the place was unobstructed.

"Daddada......"

the little mare is walking slowly in the deserted street, and Xu Qi'an is thinking about the context of the Fu Fei case.

In the whole case, the victim who has been trapped by Princess Huang is xiaorou.

Huang xiaorou had been seriously injured, but she was cured by the queen. Therefore, the queen was very kind to her.

The fourth Prince of the queen is her own son. Today, the crown prince is a commoner. The queen is not willing to leave the crown prince alone, so she set up a trick to capture the crown prince and take back the east palace.

The motive is clear, and the whole case is reasonable, but there is no evidence.

Yes, there is no evidence to convict the queen.

"Mammy Rong is right. There are too many secrets that can't be told in this deep palace. If you fall into it, you can't pull it out. I thought this case would take some time, but I didn't expect that it would progress so fast. Now I don't even have the chance to delay. The king of yuan, who is in dog day, hasn't issued an imperial edict yet. I will ask for leave tomorrow. "

At this time, Xu Qian had a picture in his mind: behind the roof on the left, there was a man in black lying on his stomach, and behind the roof on the right, there was also a man in black lying in ambush.

In the lane ahead, there stood a man in black with a knife.

By virtue of the special nature of the alchemist, he immediately realized the danger.

I was ambushed... The idea rose in my heart, the next moment, the sharp sound of breaking the air came.

...

dusk.

After dinner, Emperor Yuanjing planned to go to Lingbao temple to find Luo Yuheng, meditate with her and listen to Taoist classics.

The eunuch, who was outside, suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, Princess Chen is out to see you."

At this time point, what did she come to do?... emperor Yuanjing frowned, thought a little, and said, "pass her in."

Chen Guifei came to her bedroom at this time. If it was a few years earlier, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty would have thought that she was offering a pillow to serve her bedroom.

In the first ten years of his cultivation, the imperial concubines in the harem begged for a bed. Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty ignored him and was stubborn. He knelt outside for a night.

Later, when he saw that his heart was as iron as iron, and he knew that he could not recover his heart, the concubines stopped thinking and lived in peace.

Up to now, it is very Buddhist.

Everyone has their own time, and occasionally they can get together to talk.

The harem of emperor Yuanjing is probably the most harmonious one in the five hundred years of Dafeng.

After the eunuch retreated, Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty sat on his bed and closed his eyes. Before long, Princess Chen rushed in crying and said: "Your Majesty, you should make the decision for your concubine and the crown prince."

It turned out to be for the crown prince. The result was not unexpected or unexpected.

The king of Yuan Dynasty, who was born with black hair, opened his eyes and looked at Chen Guifei indifferently. "The prince's affair is still under investigation. Please come back, princess. There will be a verdict."

"Still investigating? Isn't the case settled, your majesty? I've heard from Lin'an. " Holding the silk handkerchief, while wiping her tears, Princess Chen said sadly:

"the prince was wronged, the prince was wronged."

Huh? Yuan Jingdi frowned and said, "what did Lin'an say to you?"

"Mr. Xu has found out the truth for a long time..."

emperor yuan Jing was stunned. He knew that a drowned body was picked up from crab Pavilion today, and it was the maiden who had been missing for many days. But he never thought that Xu Qi'an would find out the truth so soon?

While crying, Princess Chen said what she knew.

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing turned to his big companion and said, "call the person who supervises Xu Qi'an."

The boa Pao eunuch left in a quarter of an hour and came in with the little eunuch.

Yu Guang, the little eunuch, glanced at him. Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty was sitting in the cave. She did not look happy or angry. Princess Chen knelt by the bed and sobbed.

Yuan Jingdi said faintly, "what's the progress of today's case?"The little eunuch had already made the draft in his heart. After hearing the speech, he replied without a pause: "after entering the palace, Mr. Xu immediately went to examine the body, and came to the conclusion that Huang xiaorou, the maid of the palace, was first drowned in the water and then thrown into the well."

Then the autopsy process was added to prove this conclusion.

"In addition, Lord Xu also found out that Huang xiaorou, the maid of honor, had been fatally injured. She should have died a few years ago, but she was saved by a panacea... Then she went to crab Pavilion and asked mammy Rong..."

this time, the little eunuch was very experienced. He only talked about the process, did not add anyone's feelings, and did not talk about the interaction between Xu Qi'an and the two princesses.

He figured out that it would add trouble to Mr. Xu if he said these things, but I'm afraid his majesty didn't like his way of making a small report about the two princesses.

Why harm others and yourself.

What's more, Mr. Xu is very good and concerned about him. Although he is a little grumpy, it's not bad to be embarrassed.

"Confirm that part of the revenue and expenditure account book of the Royal pharmacy has been torn up?" Yuanjing emperor's proof.

"That's what Lord Xu said." The little eunuch still did not express his personal opinion.

Emperor Yuanjing nodded slowly: "inform Wuzuo to go to the palace all night and re examine the body of Huang xiaorou. I want to know the answer immediately."

Half an hour later, Da Pang brought back the result of the autopsy, which was confirmed by Xu Qi'an.

Emperor yuan Jingdi suddenly lost his mind and didn't speak for a long time. The huge palace is silent.

Until imperial concubine Chen fell on the ground and cried, "Lord Xu doesn't dare to investigate the empress. Only your majesty can do this in person. I beg your majesty to be the prince and the concubine. "
