The villain who dressed as a woman

Chapter 159 Linger Why Are You Peeping at Me?
That's all.
Also worthy of seducing the emperor?

The emperor can only belong to this palace.

Anyone who wants to snatch the emperor away from Bengong will have to see if they have the ability to survive from Bengong's hands.

Shen Ling lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes covered by long eyelashes were full of coldness.

She has always known that the Minister of War has been out of the emperor's eyes since the famine in the south of the Yangtze River, and the empress dowager was on the wrong team again for the coup d'état.

Afterwards, although the emperor spared his life, he also emptied his power little by little.

Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, now he is just a good name.

So Shen Ling knew that if he gave the emperor a step up and gave him a reason to execute Minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor would most likely accept the knife she handed him.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't pick it up, she has a way to pick herself up.

In addition to taking Lu Xiaoyao down and imprisoning him, and having someone search him, everyone in the hall, except the emperor and empress, was searched, but no trace of poison was found.

So the biggest suspicion still fell on Lu Xiaoyao and the minister of the Ministry of War who claimed to be Lu Xiaoyao's surface.

That night,

Eunuch Cheng brought news.

Since the banquet ended and the Minister of the Ministry of War left the palace, he hanged himself in the mansion.

Holding the memorial in his hand, Gu Mu raised his eyes slightly from the candlelight.

"Hang yourself? Are you sure you hanged yourself?" He asked coldly.

Eunuch Cheng lowered his head and stopped talking.

Gu Mu sighed, now that criminal investigation technology is not yet developed, many cases will become unsolved cases.

If the murderer did it cleverly, he would coerce or intimidate the Minister of War.

It is impossible to tell whether Shangshu of the Ministry of War hanged himself, committed suicide, or was coerced to death.

"Check thoroughly. Has anyone contacted the Minister of War that night?" Gu Mu ordered coldly to Eunuch Cheng.

"Yes, the slave accepts the order."

After Eunuch Cheng left, Gu Mu was the only one left in the study.

There were many maidservants standing outside the door, always listening to Gu Mu's orders, but Gu Mu didn't like being disturbed.

"How could this big fish give up the chess piece of Minister of War so simply and neatly?" Gu Mu sneered.

"But it's not surprising. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of War is now emptied by me and has no real power."

"However, do you think that if you sacrificed the Minister of the Ministry of War, I won't be able to find out about you?"

And Kunning Palace,

Shen Ling was anxiously looking outside the door, and asked Youyou like a young girl Huaichun: "Yoyou, why don't you think His Majesty is here yet?"

"Usually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor spends the night in the queen's palace."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has no other concubines. If he wants to come, he can only come to my bedroom!"

"But it's been so long, why can't I see His Majesty's shadow?"

Yoyo glanced at her own queen, and thought to herself: Queen, can you be more reserved.

But what he said was indeed: "Niang Niang, don't worry, maybe the emperor is on his way, maybe it's because of something, so he was delayed for a while."

"Really, then I will wait and see."

For some reason, looking at the full moon in the sky and remembering the scene in her previous life, at this moment, Shen Ling especially wanted to see His Majesty.

Only when she sees His Majesty will she not recall the pain of being divided by five horses.

But after waiting for a long time, the whole night was almost over, and there was still no sign of His Majesty.

Shen Ling finally said: "I'll go and have a look."

Yoyo was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't trespass into the emperor's room at night, you will be questioned!"

Yoyo's face was full of anxiety.

The palace is no different from the original palace, and there are many more rules in the palace.

Shen Ling turned her head back, gave Yoyo a relieved expression, and said, "Don't worry—"

"—I'll go quietly, and I won't be found."

"."YoYo.

There are too many political affairs, and the southern country is in a stage of rapid development and prosperity, and all of these are arranged by Gu Mu.

Therefore, Gu Mu has to do many things by himself, macro-control, and use the experience of his previous life to build this country.

Naturally, the memorial will be carefully reviewed.

But watching and watching, Gu Mu felt drowsy, and gradually lay down on the table and dozed off.

He had just dreamed that he and Shen Ling were embracing each other. He put his hand on Shen Ling's belt, and seeing Shen Ling's shy expression, he was about to tear it apart.

There was a sound coming from the roof.

Gu Mu, who was very alert, opened his eyes all at once.

But because he was lying on the table, he couldn't see the roof. Intuitively, he could feel someone on the roof peeping at him.

who can that be?

Gu Mu turned his vigilance to the highest level. Although he was pretending to sleep, he would react quickly if he felt anything was wrong.

Too many things happened tonight, such as someone poisoning, although he was [-]% sure that it was Shen Ling who did it, but Shen Ling did not admit it after all, so there is still a possibility of guessing wrong.

Secondly, after the banquet, Minister of the Ministry of War died in the mansion.

Could it be that the big fish couldn't wait, so it sent someone to assassinate itself.

Gu Mu quietly waited for that person's move, as soon as he made a move, Gu Mu would be the first to subdue him.

So at this moment, he still pretended to sleep, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

But after waiting for a long time, the enemy did not take any action.

Gu Mu could feel someone breathing above his head, but he seemed to just stop there quietly, looking at the back of Gu Mu's head.

Could it be that the back of his head was so pretty that the killer couldn't do it?
For a moment, Gu Mu, who was numb from waiting, unexpectedly had this absurd idea in his mind.

Finally saw His Majesty.

A happy smile appeared on Shen Ling's face.

Overhead, is the bright moonlight.

And under the tile crack is the back of Gu Mu's round head.

She sat quietly on the roof, pulled away a tile, lowered her eyes, and looked down.

The bright moonlight shone on her body, and the whole portrait was coated with a layer of silver light.

In the past, Shen Ling was very afraid of the night of the full moon. The day she died happened to be a full moon.

That shadow lingered in her heart.

But she knew she had to face her fears, so she always looked up at the moon.

But watching and watching, the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

"It turns out that some fear will eventually dissipate with time." Shen Ling looked up and sighed.

It's just that when she lowered her head again, the person who was lying in the study and sleeping quietly disappeared.

A voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile sounded from behind: "Ling'er, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you came here to spy on me, what do you mean?"

Shen Ling turned her head abruptly, and saw Gu Mu standing under the moonlight, just behind her, looking a little sacred at first glance.

However, Gu Mu's half-smiling tone and playful expression made Shen Ling's ears turn red: "I didn't spy on you, I just came out to let the air out!"

She held her head up and said firmly.

"Kunning Palace is such a big place, isn't it enough for you to get wind? Do you have to come to Zhen's Imperial Study?"

Gu Mu pointed to the tiles that had been pulled away: "I even pulled the tiles off my study."
