Quick Time Travel: The Loyal Dog and the Male God Contract Order

Chapter 520 This Killer Is Not So Cold ([-])

Concubine Li's palace was crowded with concubines from the harem.

With the sound of "The Emperor has arrived," everyone saluted and shouted Long live His Majesty, Long live Long live His Majesty.

The emperor frowned: "Have you found out about this matter?"

A eunuch below said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li was murdered and her throat was sealed with a sword. No one in the palace happened to be in the palace at that time. The assassin had escaped and the blood stains disappeared at the palace door."

The killer broke into such a huge palace, and let him kill a concubine with impunity.

Concubine Li's death itself is not the point of everyone's attention. She was once favored, but then she fell out of favor and became a dispensable part of the harem. What everyone cares about is how she died, Who killed her, how the killer could cover up people's eyes and ears to kill in the harem, and what was his purpose for killing her.

All this is like a mystery, stirring up a thousand waves.

Xiao Qi dragged Fu Xin to join in the fun, only daring to watch from a distance.

The eunuch bowed his body and said: "Your Majesty, I have obeyed your Majesty's wishes and asked the Royal Guards to block all roads in the palace and conduct door-to-door inspections in the capital. According to the judgment of the imperial doctor, the death time of Concubine Li was no more than half an hour. The assassin must have killed her." Didn’t go far.”

The emperor sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow.

The empress walked up to the emperor, and it took only half an hour to say something, the assassin is destined not to escape from the palace, so His Majesty need not worry too much.

After the crowd dispersed, Fu Xin still stood there and did not leave.

Xiao Qi pulled her and said: "Huang, Huangjie, she is dead, it's too scary, do you think she will become a ghost and refuse to leave because of her unjust death?"

Fu Xin was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, she pulled Xiao Qi up and walked away: "No, if you become a ghost, you will only haunt that assassin, Xiao Qi, don't mention it again, lest you do it again." nightmare."

Xiao Qi's body trembled for a while, and he gradually calmed down when he was far away from Concubine Li's palace.

Fu Xin sent Xiao Qi back to his palace, told the palace people to take good care of him, and then turned around to go back to his palace.

It happened that she met Zhao Xuyang on the way.

"Hey, you're back. Shouldn't this princess be calling you Little General Zhao?"

Hearing her voice from afar, Zhao Xuyang turned his head and pursed his lips with a smile: "I've met Her Royal Highness. What a coincidence, I just came back today and ran into you."

Fu Xin's mind was still on Concubine Li's affairs, so she couldn't help but approach him, and said in a low voice: "Have you heard that Concubine Li was assassinated?"

She paused and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

"I heard." Zhao Xuyang's expression was calm, and he said after a while, "It's not a strange thing, it's expected."

Fu Xin was taken aback: "How to say?"

Zhao Xuyang also lowered his voice, and seeing no one around, he said, "Do you know that Concubine Li is the prime minister's niece?"

This is the first time Fu Xin has heard of it. Maybe she has heard of it before, but she just didn't care. There are so many concubines in the harem, which of them has no background. They are all sent by civil and military courtiers, so it's not surprising.

She frowned: "You mean, the assassin killed Concubine Li not for money or sex, but because she belonged to the prime minister? Why?"

The word coup flashed in her mind.

The coup, who is going to change, is it the result of the prime minister's ulterior motives and other people's secret contests, or is it that the estranged party suddenly launched a coup and dealt with the prime minister's power?
Or maybe, both.

Fu Xin didn't know whether the prime minister had his own schemes or whether he was loyal to the royal family, so she couldn't judge anything.
