end of days

When Zhuo Ran was running around with the case in hand, Xuanyuanhen's life was not very leisurely. He had to plan every detail on the battlefield, and he had to think carefully about every movement in the court. The Xuanyuan Dynasty was like a It is a huge machine, the gear chain has been stretched to the extreme at this moment, and the net will be harmed if it is not careful.

But at this juncture, something happened in the harem as if deliberately causing trouble, but this time it was not a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master of your concubine—" Xuanyuanhen just went back to the imperial study and was about to take a rest when he heard Concubine Yu crying outside the hall, frowning, Xuanyuanhen was a little displeased, these Day and night he was busy working on government affairs, and yesterday he was so busy that he didn't go to bed until late at night. At this moment, he was extremely tired and even felt dizzy, but these people picked this time to bother him. He really didn't know the severity!

"Tell her, we'll talk about it another day, I don't have time to see her now!" Turning around and commanding De Yu, who stood by, Xuanyuanhen concentrated on the matter in front of him and ignored the noise outside.

Deyu looked at Xuanyuanhen like this, with a worried expression on his face. The emperor put all his energy into government affairs. Maybe he didn't want to, let alone spare time to think about Zhuoran. Although the border war is tight, it has not yet At the critical moment, Xuanyuanhen didn't need to work so hard at all. His current behavior is clearly suppressing his negative emotions forcibly, and forcing himself like this is not the solution at all. Who could it be!

"What's the matter?" Seeing De Yu's thoughtful look, Xuanyuanhen couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing..." De Yu quickly waved his hand. The low pressure around Xuanyuanhen's body has not dissipated since Zhuoran left, and some words are still hidden in his heart, not to provoke this angry emperor who has nowhere to go. Better.

"Go out and send that woman away if you have nothing to do!" Seeing De Yu's hesitation, Xuanyuanhen was a little annoyed, at least De Yu had followed him for many years, what was going on in his mind that he didn't know? !Deyu's worry and concern were clearly seen in his eyes, but for some reason, apart from being grateful, he also became inexplicably angry and spoke a lot.

"The slave knows." De Yu had no choice but to send Concubine Yu away first according to Xuanyuanhen's order. Seeing him go out, Xuanyuanhen put down the unturned page in his hand and stared blankly at the empty front , his eyes became more and more erratic.

For a while, although he did not take any action in the open, he secretly sent out batches of people who just wanted to find Zhuo Ran's trace as soon as possible, but Zhuo Ran seemed to have figured out his own temperament. I was so excited that I asked people to search for it, but they were all in vain.Disappointment again and again made him irritable, and he could only concentrate all his energy on government affairs. Coincidentally, there were surprisingly many things during this period, and he deliberately increased the burden on his shoulders. Xuanyuanhen was so busy with the task that he barely had time to catch his breath.

Thinking about it, Xuanyuanhen couldn't help but bury his face in his palms, trying to calm himself down with the warmth of his palms, but the increasingly noisy sounds outside made him feel irritable.

Concubine Yu's noisy voice became louder and louder. To Xuanyuanhen's ears, it was like a saw sawing his nerves non-stop. The chirping kept rushing into his brain, and the dull pain in his head began to linger. become sharper.

"Enough! What are you arguing about!!" As soon as the door of the imperial study room was opened, Xuanyuanhen's long-suppressed anger burst out, frightening the concubine Yu to tremble. Although indifferent and ruthless, she had never been so angry before, and Concubine Yu began to wonder if she had made a mistake in choosing this time to make trouble.

But once some things start, there is no chance of turning back. Although Concubine Yu is not familiar with court struggles, she still understands this truth.Therefore, even though she was terrified to the extreme, she could only squeeze out a few tears and cry: "Your Majesty must make the decision for my concubine. A maid in the concubine's palace suddenly disappeared, and this concubine is really worried..."

Xuanyuanhen's eyes froze when he heard the words, and he immediately recalled the incident where Concubine Yu was assassinated. Although he didn't know what this woman was planning, if someone was making trouble in the dark, he was not sure what would happen next , as an emperor who needs an heir, Xuanyuanhen still values ​​the child in this woman's womb very much!

"Check!" The word was almost squeezed out between the teeth, but it made everyone present feel like falling into the ice cave. Anyone can feel that the emperor's temper this time is really the biggest in history. one time.

"..." Concubine Yu looked at Xuanyuanhen like this, and couldn't help clenching her hands hidden in her sleeves. She didn't calm down until the sharp nails pierced into her flesh. Could it be because of that? man? !Concubine Yu secretly guessed that Xuanyuanhen had never been in a better mood since he never stepped out of Quehua Palace. How could this emperor who ruled the world bet against a man of unknown origin for so long!The more she guessed for no reason, the more resentment and resentment in Concubine Yu's heart rose, and her anger towards Zhuo Ran also increased a bit, and what Concubine Xiao Shu said in her ear before came back to her mind.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" Concubine Yu cursed Zhuo Ran with the most vicious words in her heart, but she didn't know that the person her words touched was no longer in the palace.

The maidservant in Yufei Palace was found in the dry well in the imperial garden. Her clothes were disheveled, her eyes were wide open, her lower body was in a mess, and her whole body was full of traces of being abused by men.

In this way, the matter became much more serious than originally thought. The death of the court lady was obviously not as simple as being murdered by someone. From anyone's point of view, she had suffered inhuman treatment before she died. Every plant and tree in the palace They all belonged to the emperor, and even the most inferior maidservants in the palace belonged to the emperor alone. This made Xuanyuanhen clearly have a green hat on his head, even though Xuanyuanhen and the dead maid were plain I don't know each other, but this matter is related to the order of the harem and the majesty of the emperor, and those who come and go have to be thoroughly investigated.

What Xuanyuanhen didn't expect was that with the deepening of the investigation, the spearhead of the whole incident would be pointed at Que Hua Palace bit by bit.When the palace lady disappeared, all the guards in the palace were guarding their posts. As a result, there was only one man left in the palace except Xuanyuanhen—Zhuo Ran. Coupled with the fact that the servants of the Quehua Palace hesitated one by one, unable to tell the master's whereabouts that day, most of them believed that Zhuo Ran was the culprit.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Within a few days, the courtiers knew that there was a man in the harem hidden in the Quehua Palace. Xuanyuanhen looked at the letters written by the ministers on the desk, and suddenly felt that all this was like a farce. I told this important minister in the palace that the people they attended left the palace more than a month ago, I don't know what kind of expression they should have!

"Continue to investigate this matter, I still want an answer this time!" Xuanyuanhen sneered endlessly, watching De Yu also felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, it seemed that the emperor was quite angry this time, but to put it bluntly That's right, which emperor would allow others to play tricks in front of his eyes, and it would be considered unlucky for the people behind the scenes. If Zhuo Ran was in the palace, no one would be able to protect him, but he deviates from Gong Yueyu, this is really a coincidence.

The emperor was really angry, and the people under him didn't dare to neglect. The imperial doctors were reluctantly sent to examine the corpses one by one. They didn't dare to say anything, but they were very unhappy in their hearts. It's unlucky, and no one would want to do it, let alone a doctor who thinks highly of himself, but after checking it, they found something tricky.

At first glance, the bruises on the court lady's body were caused by the brutal sex before she died, but if you look closely at the bruises, it is clear that someone deliberately put them on after her death, and it must have used a lot of force It took all the strength to leave that trace on the body of the deceased. If it was just to vent his desire, why bother, it was clearly someone who deliberately framed him.

As for the yang essence remaining in the body, the imperial doctor scraped off some of it, and he knew it was not the "genuine product" just by smell. After inspection, it was indeed a "fake" made by breaking up egg whites and adding water starch.

After careful investigation, everything was actually framed maliciously by others.

After Xuanyuanhen listened to the imperial physician's judgment with a cold face, there was no movement on his face, but he squeezed the pen in his hand into two sections from the middle, watching the imperial physician tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty..." The imperial doctor stood aside blankly, the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to just leave, but he stayed and had nothing to do, so he could only look at Xuanyuanhen who didn't say a word in panic. It was fear, trepidation, and a hint of confusion.

"It's really turned upside down!!" Xuanyuanhen gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence. He threw away the brush that had been pinched in two and left the imperial study room towards the harem. The neglected imperial physician shook his hands After tidying up all the things, he walked out of the imperial study tremblingly, lamenting that the passing years are unlucky, how could it be his turn to suffer from the emperor's full belly of evil fire!

Xuanyuanhen went to Ziyang Palace unexpectedly. Concubine De, who was playing chess with the maid, saw Xuanyuanhen abandoning government affairs and came to her. She couldn't help being startled. The sound of "crackling" made De Fei's heart beat uneasy.

Ever since she helped Zhuoran leave the palace, she has been worried that the emperor will come to her. Although the emperor is relieved of Pei's family now, if he knows that it is her and his right-hand man Suzaku who let Zhuoran go without permission, she will do it again. He reacted, but Concubine De didn't know that Xuanyuanhen believed that Suzaku was the one who let Zhuo Ran go at the very beginning, but he ignored Concubine De's side.

"You are at leisure. I don't see you come out to take care of things in the palace. After all, she is the highest-ranking concubine." Xuanyuanhen opened his mouth, and the stone hanging in Concubine De's heart finally fell. It seems that the emperor is not here. Find fault.

"The concubine knows something about this matter in the palace...but this is not something that the concubine can intervene in." Concubine De concubine said, what happened in the past few days has already caused a big wave in the palace, even if she has lived in seclusion these days, she can't go out. I heard about it, but this time the matter has long been beyond the scope of the harem's jurisdiction, but it is not her turn to ask, and I don't know what the emperor said before.
