Compared with the mothers of the three young princes, the demon concubine Yuan Zhimei is much more suspect.

Gu Zhao remembered the thoughts in Lao Bai's mind before he died. He said that he thought the woman was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and he felt that he was not worthy to touch her skirt;

He said that the woman just smiled at him, and he decided to give his life to her and was willing to die for her.

This description is more in line with the enchanting concubine's stunning appearance and charm that has made countless men fall in love at first sight.

As for whether there are capable people under Yuan Zhimei, Gu Zhao thinks there must be some.

For example, the boss of Yuxian Tower, Lang Ting, Gu Zhao speculated that the master he was loyal to was Yuan Zhimei.

As the most famous restaurant in Bei'an, Yuxian Tower has countless guests from all over the world every day. It is a perfect place to collect information.

In his previous life, Lang Ting died in battle in the palace, probably to protect Yuan Zhimei.

However, as the Crown Princess, Gu Zhao was only concerned with major government and logistical matters at that time, and did not pay attention to Yuan Zhimei, the late emperor's concubine who had gone silent.

Her heart suddenly shook, and she thought of something she had ignored in the past.

Why was it that just over a year after Lin Xuerong entered the East Palace, she was able to dismantle her long-established palace arrangements, causing her to be deceived at every turn, and finally ended up in a cold palace and died tragically?

It’s really hard to say whether Yuan Zhimei was involved in this!

After her death, Lin Xuerong killed Qin Youjin and wanted to govern from behind the curtain. If this was all Yuan Zhimei's plan, it is also doubtful whether Lin Xuerong could achieve his wish.

These speculations made Gu Zhao's face look a little ugly. If this was really the case, then the tragedy in her previous life would really be more like a joke.

Qin Youzhen saw Gu Zhao's face becoming more and more gloomy, and thought that Gu Zhao was angry at what happened to him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

He knew that although Gu Zhao had no romantic feelings for him, he was more reliable than anyone else in terms of loyalty.

This made his tone much softer when he spoke to Gu Zhao, "Gu Aiqing, I knew you had a way. It was indeed the right decision to transfer you to the palace this time."

Gu Zhao glanced at Qin Youzhen. It turned out that he had transferred her in for this purpose and arranged for her to live next to the side hall.

"After His Majesty moved to the Guangming Palace, how was the situation at night?"

Qin Youzhen shook his head with a grimace, "No improvement."

I was still haunted by nightmares at night. When I woke up, I even felt that I was still in the Qianyuan Palace. The surroundings had completely turned into a gloomy mourning hall. The name "Qin Youzhen" was written on the tablet in front of the coffin;

The paper figures of boys and girls lined up in two lines, making eerie and ethereal laughter at him. From time to time, you could hear someone calling his name from a distance...

Gu Zhao was shocked. If this was Yuan Zhimei's work, then she was too arrogant.

In this palace, it seems like she can cover the sky with one hand!

Qin Youzhen showed an expectant look, "Gu Aiqing, please think of a solution quickly. I haven't been able to sleep well every night since I moved into Qianyuan Palace."

He pointed to the black spots under his eyes and showed them to Gu Zhao, "If this continues, I will either have a mental breakdown and become a lunatic, or my body will not be able to bear it and I will collapse and become seriously ill."

"This is probably the ultimate goal of the demon concubine!"

"She killed my biological mother back then, and now she won't let me go!"

Gu Zhao thought for a while, "Please, Your Majesty, give me the privilege to allow me to inspect the palace and question the palace people at will."

Qin Youzhen quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, as long as Gu Aiqing can let me sleep well, I will give you all the power."

Saying that, Qin Youzhen clapped his hands, and the palace people filed in.

Qin Youzhen nodded to one of the palace maids, "Mingyu, please bring my gold medal of "I'm here in person" for Master Gu to use.

Mingyu is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and generous in manner.

She bowed and left, and soon held a golden token in both hands. It was surrounded by nine dragons on the front, with the word "安" engraved on it, and on the back were the words "I am here in person".

Gu Zhao felt that this gold medal was a bit exaggerated. It seemed that this kind of thing was often mentioned in folk operas. He did not expect that Qin Youzhen actually had it.

She tied the gold medal around her waist, saluted Qin Youzhen and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being disrespectful. These are all close to your Majesty. I would like to talk to them, okay?"

Qin Youzhen now only asks Gu Zhao to find the real murderer as soon as possible. No matter what Gu Zhao asks for, he agrees without hesitation.

"Of course." Qin Youzhen had already broken the rules in front of Gu Zhao, regardless of his image, but in front of these palace people, he was still the noble Emperor. His face sank, and he was full of majesty, "Mingyu, Hsinchu, you guys

Both of them obey Master Gu's arrangements, and no matter what Master Gu wants to do, they will do it according to her instructions, do you understand?"

The palace maid Mingyu and the eunuch Xinzhu both bowed to accept the order and respectfully followed Gu Zhao out of the side hall.

Gu Zhao had met Hsinchu, and last time he tried to get close to him, but was rejected expressionlessly. This time, he pretended he didn't know him and talked to Mingyu first.

"Miss Mingyu, I heard that my apartment was all decorated by my own hands. It's really troublesome."

Mingyu smiled and said openly, "What are you talking about, Mr. Gu? This is what I do. It is my duty."

"If there is anything that needs to be adjusted, Master Gu, just tell me to do it."

Gu Zhao waved his hand, "It's already very good, no need to adjust." She looked around, this was the outer court, there were no garden pavilions, it was a main hall with red walls and yellow tiles. If she wanted to talk, she could only go to the wing where she lived.
