Amidst the maid's begging for mercy, a voice broke through the sky: "The Holy One has arrived!"
All the people in the hall knelt down, and the Holy One waved his hand in disgrace. He said with a cold face: "I wonder if those who are engaged in conspiracy and conspiracy can't sleep, and people can't live in peace late at night!"
No one dared to answer.
The Holy Emperor walked directly towards the Queen. When he saw Qi Yan and Ling Yutong, his eyes stopped for a moment.
Ling Yutong tasted it, with a look that said "Why are you everywhere?"
She saw the Holy Emperor comforting the Queen softly, but the scene in front of her always had some indescribable weirdness, as if it was just a show and not half real.
The candlelight in the hall was added again, and the light lasted until dawn this night.
The Holy Lord Long Wei directly interrogated people on the spot and bluntly stated that he wanted to punish the evildoers for the queen. The palace maid did it, and was dragged out and beaten to death. Coincidentally, this palace maid happened to be the one who led Ling Yutong into the palace when she first arrived outside.
She was let in directly without asking her identity.
It was like the Holy Sage was going through a process. After the trial, the person would pass on the person who confessed, and if he couldn't confess, he would be beaten to death.
In the end, the crime was placed on a concubine in the harem, and the Holy Emperor ordered on the spot that she be demoted to a commoner and thrown into the cold palace, never to be seen again in this life.
She should have applauded such a drastic measure, but Ling Yutong caught a glimpse of the queen's face, and the suspicion in her heart was gradually confirmed, and it was coming true before her eyes.
The arrival of the Holy One tonight sounds nice, but in fact, he is just here to give this matter a result.
In other words, it was a acceptable scapegoat for this matter.
Otherwise, at some point, even an idle concubine with no family to rely on would be able to harm the queen.
Did the palace maid really find someone to give some money to and get the fine powder for making the secret poison? Did the person who switched places with the dead guard really have something wrong overnight?
No matter which one, it is the most obvious perfunctory of the Holy One.
When the sky turned pale, Ling Yutong lowered his eyes, and together with Qi Yan, he wanted to leave as this matter came to an end.
The queen called her softly: "Miss Ling, if you have nothing to do, you can come and chat with me for a few words. This palace is deserted, and the more people there are, the more popular it will be."
Ling Yutong agreed and thought to herself that she had finally gained something this night.
…
The Holy Emperor also left the Queen's palace. No matter whether he came or left, he never paid much attention to the Queen's health.
He looked calmly and asked Xifu: "I asked you to check Chen Qiushui, how did it go?"
Eunuch Xifu immediately bowed: "Go back to your Majesty. That night, Chen Qiushui, the censor of Zuodu, was indeed in the prison. I also found the guard who detained the person that day, and asked someone to take the portraits of the eldest lady of the Qi family and the leading girl.
People recognize.”
"All the slaves acted cautiously and did not let Zuodu Yushi know about it."
The Holy Lord's eyes turned cold: "I want to know the result."
Eunuch Xifu immediately said: "The person identified by the guard as being escorted... is the eldest lady of the Qi family, not Miss Ling."
In other words, what Ling Yutong said that day that she was mistakenly taken to prison by the guards was a lie!
After Eunuch Xifu finished speaking, he felt worried for Ling Yutong. Qi Yan and Ling Yutong hadn't gone far yet. If the Holy One asked him to send someone to capture the two of them, then...
A hint of darkness flashed across the Holy Lord's eyes.
During the interrogation just now, the Queen told him that Qi Songjin had been poisoned by a secret poison from Northern Xinjiang. Over the years, he and the Queen had been a superficial couple, and every word they said to each other must have a meaning behind it.
And how could he not understand what the Queen meant when she said this?
It was almost like telling him clearly that he owed Qi Songjin this time because he was the one who shouldn't have fought that battle...
The Holy Master sneered, rolled up his sleeves and left without issuing any arrest warrant.
Eunuch Xi Luck lowered his head and waited for the instructions for a long time, but did not hear a word. When he raised his head, he met the cold eyes of the Holy Master in shock.
"Why, are you still waiting for me to wait for you?"
Father Xifu felt a sudden change in his heart and hurriedly said he didn't dare. However, in his hurried steps, he couldn't help but curse in his heart:
Your Majesty is really a hard-to-serve person with a weird temper!
The sky was getting brighter, and Ling Yutong and Qi Yan were walking side by side. Because of being on the road, they couldn't even say the words they had been holding back in the Queen's Palace.
Qi Yan turned his head and caught a glimpse of her face. She had a beautiful face with bulging cheeks, which was quite funny.
His calm mind just now suddenly disappeared.
Qi Yan couldn't help but raise his lips and tease: "Why, your cheeks are bulging like an ugly fish. You want to go to the chopping board because you think your life is too long?"
Ling Yutong raised his eyes in disbelief: "Ugly Fish?" Are you still the Fourth Young Master Qi who puts etiquette first?
She pursed her lips, and of course she heard the hidden meaning in Qi Yan's words.
However, she had a way to get around that problem, so why did she insist on asking him to come...
The way she walked with her head drooped made Qi Yan couldn't help but whisper: "You look more like you are hopeless..."
Facing Ling Yutong's burning gaze, the words in Qi Yan's throat rolled down and he said: "It's more like seven seconds of memory..."
His tactical pause made Ling Yutong take a deep breath and start arguing with him.
Her eyes were filled with vitality, and her calm and meditative air just now was completely gone.
Qi Yan curled her lips, this is what a girl should look like. If nothing happened to the Qi family, she would have been like this.
Ling Yutong shook her head, feeling that after a while, all the depression in her mind had been cleared away.
We are almost reaching their palace.
In the distance, Ling Yutong heard the sound of a beating that was ripping apart flesh and blood. Her pupils shrank, and she subconsciously turned to look at Qi Yan, lowering her voice: "Oh no, you and I have forgotten Song Yue and Lai Che! We shouldn't have been in such a turmoil last night.
If they participate, it will be disadvantageous for them to defend their master, and they may..."
"Get on the board." Qi Yan added her words in a deep voice.
Without further ado, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and quickly walked around the front, where they saw a scene dripping with blood.
Sure enough, Song Yue and Lai Che were punished, and even Lu He, who was injured, was not spared and was slapped on the palm again.
Ling Yutong pursed her lips and looked extremely depressed.
"Who told you to do it! Stop!"
The guard who was playing the board didn't stop at all, as if he didn't hear it.
Ling Yutong's suppressed anger was suddenly aroused. She stepped forward and held the board held by the guard, and said coldly: "Song Yue and Lai Che are people given to us by the Holy Spirit. As masters, Qi Yan and I have no
Agreed, who gave you the right to hit someone?"
At this time, the guard turned to look at her: "I have been ordered by Concubine Wan Gui to punish the servants who do not perform their duties for the girl and the master. The concubine has said that the servants who do not perform their duties will be brought back to be trained, and she will give you
Then arrange for responsible servants."
Ling Yutong almost laughed angrily after hearing this!
