Jing Ming just happened to lead someone out in a hurry at this time. There was still blood on the knife in his hand, and his face was not good——
"The leading female assassin was taken away by someone. They are very familiar with the terrain in the Queen's Luanfeng Palace. They disappeared after a few seconds. They are afraid that there is a secret passage in the palace."
Otherwise there is no reason why we can’t search for people!
Ming Lanruo frowned and actually ran away?!
Cang Qiao glanced at Xiao Qizi and said, "Take someone to search."
Xiao Qizi nodded: "Yes."
Cang Qiao directly carried Ming Lanruo to the Queen's Palace, found a clean room and put her down: "You rest for a while, I will have someone bring you hot water and clean clothes for purification."
He didn't like the sight of blood on her body. Even though the blood wasn't hers, it was dazzling to see.
Ming Lanruo nodded, she was dirty and tired now.
Not long after, Chunming led someone in with hot water to help her freshen up briefly.
Ming Lanruo changed out of her robe and looked at the gorgeous first-grade princess dress and gown decorated with many pearls. It was now tattered and stained with blood.
She squeaked softly. The reason why Empress Zhou sent this tampered skirt was actually just to divert her attention.
Even Qin's farce was just to let his guard down, leaving the real killer move at the end.
After all, Zhou was born as a beloved concubine. She fought for power and profit, and her hands were stained with blood. She was much more powerful than her useless niece, the former Qin Princess Zhou Changle.
only……
"What's going on with Zhou Xiangyun, go find out." Ming Lanruo suddenly said to Chunhe who was on the side.
Zhou Xiangyun will give her a message, and she understands that he doesn't want her to die now.
After all, she was so easy to talk to and willing to support Zhou Xiangyun. If another concubine had been appointed, Zhou Xiangyun's life would not have been easy.
But it is a bit strange that Zhou Xiangyun would kill the queen's aunt, who she relied on.
Chunhe looked slightly condensed and said: "Miss, I guess it may be because of the killer just now..."
At that time, she was closer to Zhou Xiangyun than the eldest lady. She was a martial arts practitioner and had better ears, so she naturally heard the conversation between them.
Chunhe simply told Minglanruo what he heard.
Ming Lanruo was stunned, and then sighed: "So that's it."
Zhou Hou deserved it, she fell into the hands of her own niece.
After cleaning up her body, Ming Lanruo simply put her hair on top of her head and walked out of the room.
Cang Qiao was listening to a report about the situation in the Queen's Palace. Some simple but exquisite meals were placed in front of her. He glanced at her lightly: "Eat something first. Next, there are still things to deal with."
Of course Ming Lanruo understood that so many people died in the Queen's Palace, and the so-called "Orphans of the Red Blood Legion" were involved, which was a complete blow to Emperor Ming's weakness.
How could the old man let her go so easily?
There was no point in being anxious, so she sat down to eat calmly.
After she finished eating and rinsed her mouth with tea, Cang Qiao had already arranged everything, waved away his men, and nodded his long legs: "Come here."
Ming Lanruo: "..."
How come calling him is like calling him a child?
Seeing that his lady was a little uncomfortable, Chunhe put away the dishes and quickly retreated.
Ming Lanruo then obediently walked over, sat on his lap, moved her buttocks, chose a comfortable and fleshy position, and sat down.
Looking at the honest look of the girl in his arms, Cang Qiao narrowed his dark eyes, hugged her slim waist tightly with his slender arms, and rubbed her ear with the tip of his tall nose: "I haven't seen you these days, but my heart is wild.
Already?"
Ming Lanruo felt that he was rubbing against the cat: "I don't dare to be wild, I don't dare to be wild..."
She hadn't seen her for a long time, so he just took her pills and left for six or seven days.
It's so itchy to be rubbed, well, bear it...
"Really? I see you are very wild, and you are playing more and more wildly." He chuckled, clasped the back of her head, and whispered in her ear.
Tired of smelling those roses, the fresh and slightly astringent smell of herbs on her body today is actually soothing.
He didn't do anything out of the ordinary, it just made her feel like she couldn't breathe in his arms.
He also kept playing with her waist, which made her feel stuffy and hot all over.
Ming Lanruo tried hard to grab his arm while changing the subject: "Why did the Lord Governor come back in such a hurry?"
She knew that the queen would do something at the banquet, but she really didn't expect that the queen would dare to do such a big thing——
Just to kill her and frame her, Queen Zhou caused a palace coup!
Cang Qiao paused slightly, but he really let go of her a little. He stopped playing with her waist and instead clasped her fair and delicate hands to play with her——
"There are not many things in the palace that can really be hidden from me. The Queen can still secretly stage such a big show today, which shows that the Zhou family and some people are quite capable."
But there is no airtight wall in the world. When he was camped on the outskirts of the city, he received clear news and immediately led his people back.
"There were some dogs rushing out and barking along the way, trying to delay my return to the palace. I knew that this matter was serious." Cang Qiao chuckled.
Ming Lanruo looked at him: "Do you know what's going on?"
Cang Qiao paused, then looked at her and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "I don't know if I know it in my heart, but it looks like I know it in my mind."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "It stands to reason that this killing was organized by Queen Zhou and the Zhou family. They have three purposes -"
"First, kill me and the Queen Mother; second, drag you into the water."
But Cang Qiao, the head of the Dongchang who was in charge of criminal edicts, detectives, and spies, didn't know that his niece was actually a traitor and killed the Queen Mother and so many people.
This is trampling the emperor's face on the ground. From now on, the emperor will definitely be alienated from him. Even if the emperor trusts Cang Qiao again, he will have a thorn in his heart.
Moreover, with so many official and female relatives dead, how could the court officials let Cang Qiao go? The public was so angry that they would definitely join forces to impeach Cang Qiao, and even remonstrate with death!
In the end, Cang Qiao was at least demoted and dismissed.
Cang Qiao is already in that position. Once he is no longer the governor of the East Factory, there will be too many people who want him dead.
"This week the Zhou family's abacus was ringing, but I didn't expect that in the end the assassin even killed Queen Zhou. Maybe some part of the Zhou family's killing spree got into the Zhou family's enemies?"
Ming Lanruo guessed.
Cang Qiao leaned against the small table, looking at her lucid analysis, and smiled meaningfully: "My dear lady, you are getting smarter and smarter, and you know more and more. Why don't you guess what I am thinking?"
Ming Lanruo thought for a while: "The governor must have thought of how to break the Zhou family's situation."
Now Zhou Xiangyun killed the queen. Although the Zhou family lost their support, it completely cleared the Zhou family of the suspicion of the mastermind.
As long as Shangguan Hongye, the King of Qin, is still there, without Queen Zhou, the Zhou family still has great hope!
So the Zhou family will definitely kill her if Minglan is the mastermind behind it!
Cang Qiao has been immersed in conspiracies for many years. He, the ancestor of conspirators, must have thought of how to break the situation!
Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows: "I didn't think of such a complicated and boring thing. I just thought of it very simply..."
He smiled: "I just want to know what the taste is in your mouth."
As he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her little mouth that had been kissing her just now.
Well, after a tough battle, the little woman's mouth is still very soft and warm.
Let him know that she is still alive and safe in his arms.
Instead of standing there covered in blood and filth, which is shocking to people at a glance.
