Even though she was confused, Xia Lishuang still smiled and replied.
"fine."
Queen Tao laughed, with a hint of teasing.
"Hold on tight! The queen is still waiting to hold her grandson! With a child, it will be easier for her to straighten herself."
Xia Lishuang touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed and could only nod in agreement.
After sitting for a while, a eunuch came to report that the emperor asked Xia Lishuang to go to the imperial study.
Xia Lishuang didn't know why, so she went along anyway.
…
Inside the royal study.
Xia Lishuang lowered her head and looked at the bright yellow in front of her.
"My father called me here, what's the matter?"
The emperor turned back, looked at Xia Lishuang and said solemnly.
"The eldest princess is dead. You should also know the news. What do you think?"
Xia Lishuang's face remained calm.
Although it is said that Xia Yanyan has done many evil things, died unjustly, and made countless enemies, there should not be too many people who want to kill her.
However, after all, this is at the feet of the emperor, and if everything is done according to the regulations, Xia Yanyan will at least have to wait until autumn before asking for execution.
To die suddenly in prison is obviously unreasonable and against the rules.
Before Xia Lishuang could answer, the emperor had spoken again.
"Hanged himself to death... But I think it's not that simple. You take my handwriting and go secretly to investigate... to find out who is behind it, so eager to kill and silence!"
The emperor pinched his eyebrows and handed the bright yellow cloth on the table to Xia Lishuang.
Xia Lishuang took it carefully.
At the moment, apart from his father and the prince, he can't think of a third person to take action.
Since I was asked to investigate, it meant that it was not the hand of my father.
Could it be that the prince is really audacious?
"Before the eldest princess died, she once met with me. She told me that she lost a gold collar, and that gold collar was taken away by your concubine..."
The emperor looked at Xia Lishuang, the temptation in his words was very obvious.
"In that necklace, there was a legacy of the late emperor's succession!"
"Is there a legacy? There is a legacy in it?"
Xia Lishuang froze and showed a shocked expression in a cooperative manner.
He lifted his robe and knelt down, with a look of fear on his face.
"I hope my father will forgive me. Ranran was also eager to get the evidence at that time, so she got it by chance. Besides, she didn't know the secret!"
The emperor looked at Xia Lishuang who was explaining hurriedly and laughed.
"I just want to ask, why are you nervous?"
Xia Lishuang curled her lips secretly.
I am an emperor father and nothing else. All the food I have eaten over the years has been in my heart.
"My son, I will return home immediately and present this thing to my father!"
Seeing Xia Lishuang being so righteous, the emperor finally felt relieved.
"Lao Qi, you are a good boy!"
…
Wen Ranran trotted all the way back to the palace and saw Qiu He helping her clean up the room.
"The concubine is back?"
"Well!" Wen Ranran got the Baibai ointment, "Go get me a basin of water!"
Qiu He responded and went.
Wen Ranran washed her face and was about to apply the white ointment on herself, when she saw Qiu He holding the quilt and walking out.
"Huh? Qiu He, what are you doing?"
Wen Ranran looked at the head of the bed and felt nervous.
Qiu He turned around inexplicably, "It's been raining heavily in the past few days, and the quilt is damp. I'll help you dry it out!"
"Oh! Oh okay!"
Wen Ranran agreed on the surface, Qiu He hugged the quilt and went out, and hurriedly touched the secret compartment at the head of the bed.
There was nothing between his fingers. Wen Ranran's body stiffened, and a chill came up from behind.
