The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Leng Feng and Lie Feng were ready to apologize, and just as they were about to kneel down, they heard Gu Beihuai's cold command.

"This matter is far from being as simple as it seems. You should cooperate with the people from the Dali Temple and search the cold palace again. Make sure you find out the whole story."

"Yes."

Finally, Gu Beihuai reminded Su Peichang again not to let the Queen know about this matter.

Su Peichang hurried to make arrangements.

As the chief eunuch, he was busy all day long, but he wanted to do everything himself, firstly because he was worried, and secondly because he wanted to save face in front of Gu Beihuai.

So he specially led a few young eunuchs to visit each palace to give instructions.

On the way, the young eunuchs talked about

"Eunuch Su, that arrogant little maid has finally died. She was punished for her rude words to you before."

"Yes, Eunuch Su, you are a favorite of the Emperor. She is just a wild girl without any status. How dare she provoke you? Isn't that courting death?"

"That's right. This is the fate of provoking the eunuch. She thought she could do whatever she wanted by relying on the Queen's favor. Now she has lost her life."

"I heard that those crazy concubines in the cold palace even ate their own children, biting each one. Not to mention one wild girl, even ten wild girls would be sent to death. Even God can't stand her being so arrogant. Eunuch Su, don't you agree?"

Su Peichang was flattered and felt a little proud. He stroked his beardless chin and said loudly, "Before, we didn't bother with her because she was a little girl. Who knew she would dare to provoke those people in the cold palace? She fell into the tiger's mouth and lost her life. She can't blame others. You are right. The wicked will be punished by God."

He felt happy and had a sense of revenge.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an anxious female voice suddenly came from behind them.

"What did you just say?"

Su Peichang and others turned around and saw Qingmei standing behind them with a lunch box.

Su Peichang immediately felt something was wrong, but after all, he was an old hand in the palace, so he immediately said with a smile: "So it's Aunt Qingmei from Zhaohua Palace, you guys, hurry up and say hello."

After hearing his instructions, the young eunuchs immediately put on fawning smiles and came forward to greet him.

However, Qingmei didn't buy it at all, and continued to ask in a cold voice.

"Eunuch Su, I heard everything you just said. Is the wild girl you are talking about Hua Yan?"

Meeting her cold yet angry look, Su Peichang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly tried to make amends.

"Qingmei, I think you misunderstood. We were just joking just now, but we didn't say anything about Huayan."

"Yes, yes." The other eunuchs echoed, "We were just joking just now, we didn't say anything."

How could Qingmei believe it? She was sure that Su Peichang was talking about Hua Yan.

And Hua Yan had a feud with Su Peichang before...

Therefore, Qingmei directly blocked their way and said coldly: "No matter who Eunuch Su is talking about, it is really suspicious to say such alarmist words in the palace. Maybe Hua Yan's disappearance is related to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Peichang's expression changed immediately.

The other young eunuchs were also a little nervous. They were just trying to please people by licking their faces. What did it have to do with them?

In fact, Qingmei said this on purpose, just to see what explanation Su Peichang would give.

However, Su Peichang was not a pushover. Since the emperor had said that the matter could not be disclosed, what could he do if he refused to admit it?

So he straightened his back, raised his head, and said in a shrill voice: "Qingmei, what do you mean by this? We know that you have a good relationship with that girl named Hua Yan, but you can't just throw dirty water on her."

Qingmei was naturally very angry, and just as she was about to argue, she was choked back by Su Peichang's words.

"We have important matters to deal with. This is an order from the Emperor. I wonder if you can afford to delay important matters?"

Su Peichang brought up the emperor, and Qingmei was speechless. She could only watch Su Peichang leave with a group of young eunuchs.

When Qingmei returned to Zhaohua Palace, it was almost an incense stick of time later than usual.

Shen Qingyan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her, but this time Qingmei told her what had happened without waiting for her to ask.

Qingmei has always had a good temper, but this time she was so angry that her eyes were red.

Shen Qingyan's face darkened after hearing what happened.

She knew that Hua Yan and Su Peichang had a grudge against each other, and the wild girl that Su Peichang and several young eunuchs openly discussed did look a lot like Hua Yan.

Combined with Qingmei's previous guess, Shen Qingyan couldn't help but doubt.

Qingmei tried hard to hold back her tears and said bitterly, "My Queen, would you like me to call Su Peichang to ask him about this?"

"No." Shen Qingyan said coldly, "Since he doesn't tell you the truth and instead tries to cover it up, it means that the emperor has instructed that this matter should not be spread. Just go and grab any one of the eunuchs who follow him, and that will be enough to tell you the truth."

Qingmei thought it made sense and immediately took people to catch the man.

Lingyun Pavilion.

In the two days since Gu Chenan came back from the cold palace, Yu Hongyan has been very attentive to him.

"Shun'an, are you tired? Can I give you a shoulder massage?"

Yu Hongyan's eyes were charming and she gently placed her hands on Gu Chenan's shoulders.

However, Gu Chenan brushed her hand away, rubbed his brows and said, "I'm a little tired and want to rest first. There is food on the table that I brought back for you. Eat it quickly, otherwise it will get cold soon."

Yu Hongyan looked at the delicious dishes on the table, knowing that they must have been stolen by Gu Chenan from the imperial kitchen for her, and she felt even more cherished.

"Shun'an, would you like to eat with me?"

"I am very tired."

Gu Chenan emphasized it again impatiently, and then went to fetch water to wash up.

Yu Hongyan noticed that there were obvious traces of mud on the soles of his shoes, and she thought of a way to help him solve his problem.

Little did he know that the reason for Gu Chen'an's irritability was not because of Yu Hongyan, but because the cold palace was searched extensively by the imperial guards, and Fuling was arrested as a crazy concubine because she did not hide in the secret room in time.

If she was smart enough, she would probably be able to dodge it. But if she told him everything... then he would have to find somewhere else to stay.

Soon, Qingmei and Guiren worked together to capture a little eunuch.

After some questioning, the truth of the matter was revealed.

Shen Qingyan stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.

If she had asked the Royal Guards to search carefully for Hua Yan's whereabouts instead of just letting a few guards search in order to avoid alerting the enemy, would the result be different?

Then Hua Yan would not have died, nor would she have died in such a miserable way.

It was her fault. She didn't let anyone find Hua Yan in time.

Shen Qingyan felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She covered her heart and slowly bent down.

"Empress, what's wrong with you? Empress!"

"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
