Fengqi Palace.

Gu Fei brought a eunuch with great martial arts skills to visit Qin Xin.

When passing by the locust tree in front of the palace, he saw a young eunuch, bending over and doing something stealthily.

He took a closer look and signaled the eunuch Suifeng to check the situation.

Suifeng walked silently, and in a few breaths, he came behind the young eunuch, and captured him with a touch of his hand.

The young eunuch was startled, turned around trembling, and his face turned pale.

"What's hidden?"

Especially when he saw Gu Fei behind Suifeng, the little eunuch's face became even uglier.

It was like seeing a ghost.

There's something fishy about it at first glance.

"Greetings, hello, Your Majesty! I, I have nothing to hide..."

Gu Fei didn't say anything, but just winked, indicating Suifeng to search him.

Suifeng quickly found a medicine paper bag from the little eunuch's sleeve.

I opened it and saw it was empty.

Looking at the medicine pot next to the eunuch, Gu Fei's expression darkened.

Suifeng knew something about pharmacology. He took a quick sniff and nodded to Gu Fei, who already suspected it was poison.

Gu Fei stared fiercely at the little eunuch who was about to faint from fright.

"Take him away, and have all the servants of Fengqi Palace come to the front of the palace to obey your orders."

As Gu Fei spoke, he ordered Huan'er and Shuang'er to guard Qin Xin and ensure her safety.

There weren’t many palace maids in Fengqi Palace, and most of them were assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs - of course, no one knew whether anyone else had tampered with the arrangement.

Although Qin Xin only allowed Huan'er and Shuang'er to serve her, it was impossible to guard against every corner of such a huge palace.

Well, she was seriously injured, and her trusted palace maid was only concerned with taking care of her personally, so naturally she couldn't take care of all other aspects of her affairs.

Gu Fei beat the young eunuch with a stick in front of the palace maids of Fengqi Palace. After a few strokes, the young eunuch confessed and said that it was Concubine Xin who ordered it.

He wanted to mix a slow-acting poison into the queen's medicine, so that the burns on her body would heal slowly until she died silently from skin ulcers.

Gu Fei tightened his cheeks, facing the bloody scene of caning, but this time he was not at all moved.

Being kind to bad paper people is like stabbing yourself with a sharp knife.

They may have their own reasons, but they showed no mercy when poisoning.

It's not easy for everyone, so why should he forgive others for doing evil?

What's more, this medicine was prepared two days ago. What does that mean?

He had prepared a series of plans long ago. If one move failed to kill him, he would come up with another one.

"Bring Xinpin."

Gu Fei ordered coldly.

Concubine Xin was brought to the front of the palace and refused to admit it. Before she started to make a fuss, she was frightened by the little eunuch who was lying on a bench in front of her and looked like he was about to die.

"It's better to tell the truth, otherwise, you will be like him."

Gu Fei looked down at this strange concubine of Prince Chen. She was a stranger in Prince Chen's memory.

But her last name is not unfamiliar.

This is the daughter of Minister Xing of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xinpin, who wanted to argue, was stunned and hesitated.

"You don't have the guts to poison me. If you tell the truth, I will give you a lighter sentence."

If he was not the mastermind, he would naturally be given a lighter sentence - all the blame would be put on the mastermind.

I’m afraid this person will be punished.

Xinpin's face turned pale and she knelt down quickly.

"I really didn't do that. Your Majesty, please understand! This eunuch is not my man. I have no idea why he poisoned the queen..."

She didn't tell the truth.

"Okay, keep him locked up for now, and we'll talk about it when you figure it out."

The young eunuch said it very clearly. Gu Fei also got the evidence that Xinpin bribed the young eunuch. Xinpin must have known about it, but with her courage, how could she poison Qin Xin?

She just wanted to win favor, but before Qin Xin entered the palace, she was not favored either. On the contrary, Gu Fei found out that Concubine Xin had been relying on pleasing Concubine Shu to get by in the palace.

Such a person would flatter whoever was favored, so naturally he would not dare to touch Qin Xin.

She doesn't have such a background.

So she's just a knife.

As for the person holding the knife, whether it was Liu Yanran, the one in Shoukang Palace, or Liu Qing, Xinpin needs to answer.

Concubine Xin was taken away crying and screaming, and the palace maids around her were also locked up and interrogated.

After this incident, Gu Fei felt heavy-hearted.

Then he glanced at the little eunuch and said to Suifeng.

"Let this serve as a warning to others."

His heart seemed to have been hardened by the continuous threats to his life.

He needs to make a choice between what is more important and what is not.

As a result, the palace servants in Fengqi Palace were severely shocked.

His Majesty beat to death the eunuch who tried to poison the queen in public, and also arrested Concubine Xin...

Qin Xin woke up and slept frequently. It was in the afternoon when she was dazed and heard Huan'er and Shuang'er chatting in a low voice while fanning her that she found out about this.

After this incident, Gu Fei directly assigned a group of imperial guards to patrol outside her bedroom and wait for orders. Her medicine was personally prepared and tested by the imperial physician, handled by Shuang'er, and then put into her mouth.

The entire Fengqi Palace was like an iron wall, and not even a fly could fly in.

Not to mention who was behind this.

Qin Xin was a little surprised when she heard that Gu Fei ordered the eunuch to be beaten to death.

To be honest, after coming into this world, under her master's devilish training, she actually gained a deep understanding of how fragile human life is in feudal society.

Where there is power, there will be bullying and death.

What she needs to do is to stick to her original intention of not bullying the weak.

But Gu Fei seemed unable to accept the rules of this world. He didn't have her adaptability or her adaptation process, but now...

"What about Your Majesty?"

Qin Xin asked Huan'er in a whisper.

Huan'er shook her head: "His Majesty was very busy. He came to see you once, but when he saw you were asleep, he left again."

So busy...

It must be about the arson incident at Wangyue Tower.

Qin Xin sighed.

That night.

Gu Fei rubbed his sore temples and breathed heavily.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, that palace maid committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Suifeng came over with a frown on his brow and passed the message.

At the same time, the person Gu Fei sent to summon Zhang Guanshi also came back, saying that Zhang Guanshi accidentally fell into the lotus pond and drowned. When he was summoned, he had been dead for several hours.

The palace maids in the laundry department and the new manager of the Imperial Household Department were actually traps.

The purpose was to lure Qin Xin to Wangyue Tower and let her die there.

"anything else."

Gu Fei's expression was gloomy. The person behind the scenes was so ruthless. The rest of the clues and witnesses must be in danger.

"His Majesty."

Chen Wu came over breathlessly, his face extremely solemn.

"I am incompetent. I found a guard of the Imperial Guard who was away from his post at the time, and I found kerosene in his room... But when I caught him, he had already bitten his tongue and committed suicide."

Another one died.

Gu Fei closed his eyes and held his forehead.

In the palace, he has such omnipotent connections that he even made these people commit suicide. You can see how deeply buried he is.

This time, I guess we should be cautious.

"Keep investigating. I don't believe they can kill all the people in the palace."

Whatever you do leaves traces.

Whether they bribe people or place spies, as long as they know the person downstream, they can always follow the clues to catch the person who set up the plan upstream.

"Yes!"

When Gu Fei finished his work, it was already late at night.

He couldn't sleep, so he decided to go to Fengqi Palace to guard Qin Xin.

If I have to die, I'd rather die together than have to worry about this person.

Qin Xin slept too much during the day, so he feels energetic now.

The black and white eyes stared at the man over there who was full of thoughts.

"what's going on?"

"The enemy can't sit still anymore."

"That's a good thing."

Qin Xin's voice made it difficult for Gu Fei to be deep.

He sat up and looked at her in the dim light of the hall.

"But, we will investigate each clue and break it."

"It's okay. We'll keep investigating. If things get interrupted, the boss will have to step in himself."

"..."

Gu Fei suddenly admired Qin Xin's psychological quality. Was there never a time when her defenses collapsed?

After thinking about it, he said wickedly——

"I'm afraid that we'll be the first to die. We'll have to start this game again in our next life, and you...

Continue to be a book person who cannot play with mobile phones. "

The corners of Qin Xin's mouth twitched, and she performed a "scared to death" show for him on the spot, including "stretching legs, staring, and cramping".

Thank you, he will divert the sadness.

Seeing Qin Xin's mischievous act, Gu Fei laughed softly.

Well, her way of comforting is really special.

Very useful.
