The Queen's Secret

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

It has been two days since the serial murder case ended, and Qi Yuxin was granted a holiday so that she could recover from her injuries, so now Lin Qingxuan and Meng Gan are the only two in the old case room, and Qi Yuxin is nowhere to be seen.

"Did you ever feel like something was missing?"

Lin Qingxuan felt a little depressed, always felt that something was missing in the old case room...

"Miss Yuxin is missing!"

Meng Gan said without thinking, Lin Qingxuan rolled his eyes at him, who doesn't know... Seeing this, Meng Gan immediately stopped talking.

"I always feel like something is missing..."

Lin Qingxuan turned her head to look at the door, and suddenly thought of something she felt was missing.

"I know what's missing!"

Lin Qingxuan pointed to the door of the old case room, and continued: "Didn't you realize that Miss Li'er from Fengxi Palace hasn't been here for a long time?"

Meng Gan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Sister Yuxin has been away for two months, and every time she comes, she always looks for Sister Yuxin. Isn't it normal that she hasn't come for a long time?"

Although Meng Gan didn't think it was very strange, it's just... After Lin Qingxuan said so, he really felt strange...

It has been two days since the case ended, and Qi Yuxin has been back for three days...

In the past, the person from Fengxi Palace always summoned Qi Yu's heart every three days, but now it has been three days, and there is no movement at all?

"Where's Sister Yuxin? Where did you go?"

Meng Gan found it strange that Qi Yuxin would come to sit and chat yesterday, but today he didn't see anyone all day?

"do not know…"

Lin Qingxuan didn't know either, that person was gone early in the morning, and she hadn't seen her today.

Southern Kingdom, Beijing Cemetery.

The capital cemetery is divided into two parts, one part is where officials and their families are buried, and the other part is where rich people in the capital are buried.

Qi Yuxin sat in front of a mausoleum, leaned against the mausoleum, looked up at the gray sky, it was cold, and the sky seemed not as blue as before, at least today... the sky is gray.

"Father... I knew it..."

The fist in Qi Yuxin's hand was clenched very tightly...

"Things are definitely not that simple... My daughter will definitely find out the real cause of your death..."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the name and date of death of Qi Dezheng engraved on the mausoleum. This was engraved by Tao Mingyi, and the six words "daughter Qi Yu Xinli" were engraved by herself. She still remembers that she was only eight years old at the time, and the handwriting was crooked, and her hands were already bleeding, but she still insisted on finishing the engraving.

At that time, Tao Mingyi said that he was as stubborn as a rock, and no one could persuade him. Now that he thinks about it, he is really so.

Qi Yuxin bought a lot of sacrificial things early in the morning and came here to accompany Qi Dezheng. Today is neither Qi Dezheng's life sacrifice nor death sacrifice, but she is depressed and wants to come here to see her father.

At this time, there was a sound of small footsteps, she looked up and saw a person hiding in the dark, seeing that she had noticed it, she immediately hid again, she immediately stood up, looked around, and found that there was only one person , and said: "Come out!"

Qi Yuxin didn't wear a flying fish robe, so she wouldn't carry a Yulong knife, but she hid a dagger in both of her boots, just in case something unexpected happened, and she at least had a weapon by her side.

The person who was hiding in the dark came out after a while. It was a woman, dressed in strong clothes, with an indescribable heroism between her brows.

"who are you?"

Qi Yu didn't want to let that woman get too close to him, so she asked. Now that she is being watched by the Eighth Emperor, she should be careful in everything, and this unknown woman, it is hard to guarantee that the Eighth Emperor sent her to watch her Or...he was looking for an opportunity to kill himself.

"I... will eventually be the empress's man."

The man clasped his fists, Qi Yu frowned lightly, why did Zhao Muyan send someone to follow him?

"What evidence?"

After Qi Yu finished speaking, the man showed the badge of Fengxi Palace, and he was indeed from Fengxi Palace...

Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Zhao Muyan, she felt an unbearable itch in her heart, wanting to see him but not daring to see him... Especially when she needed company like this, she really wanted to see Zhao Muyan...

"Why are you following me?"

As soon as these words came out, the personal guards would be in trouble. Could it be that the Empress wants to know your every move, and then report to her every day?

She dare not say.

"The last general dare not say it, the head of the Qi arrest department can go and ask the empress himself."

After hearing this, Qi Yu sighed...

Zhao Muyan...

Zhao Muyan...

Qi Yu recited the name silently many times. She missed Zhao Muyan... really wanted to...

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Fengxi Palace.

The guard brought Qi Yuxin into Fengxi Palace, when Li'er saw her, her heart froze, she immediately went to the guard and said, "Why did you bring her here, didn't your mother say that she will not see her these days?"

The personal guard scratched his head and said, "She said she wanted to see the Empress...I also..."

The personal guard and Li'er had some kind of friendship, and Li'er was not easy to reprimand her, she looked at Qi Yuxin still standing quietly at the door, she bit her lip, turned and entered the bedroom.

It was so cold outside that people were shivering, but the bedroom was warm, with a charcoal fire burning, which made it much warmer.

"Ma'am..."

Li'er opened her mouth softly, raised her eyes a few times to look at Zhao Muyan's expression, she was very calm...well, the mood is not bad...

"what's up?"

Zhao Muyan asked, looking up at Li'er's shy expression, he knew that she had something to say.

"Well... the director of Qi arrest is here, and she wants to see your mother."

When Zhao Muyan heard that Qi Yu's heart was coming, her heart was pounding at first, and then she calmed herself down very quickly, and said coldly, "No see."

"Yes…"

As if predicting this outcome, Li'er walked towards Qi Yuxin after leaving the bedroom.

"My lady doesn't want to see you."

Qi Yu listened intently, thinking that Zhao Muyan was angry at him for leaving again without saying goodbye, feeling a little guilty in his heart, and said: "Then... Miss Li'er, please report to the empress, I will wait until the empress sees me."

Qi Yuxin is a stubborn person, she said so, she will naturally wait, even if it is freezing cold, she will wait.

Li'er opened her mouth to say something, seeing that the man was standing firmly by the door, she sighed, turned around and entered the bedroom again.

"Ma'am..."

"what happened again?"

Zhao Muyan didn't look at Li'er, and his tone was a little cold. She hadn't forgiven Qi Yuxin yet, and didn't want to hear about her.

"The director of Qi arrest said...she will wait until the empress sees her..."

After Zhao Muyan heard this, his brows were sullen.

"If she wants to wait, let her wait!"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, he walked to the edge and fell asleep, like an angry child. Li'er had never seen Zhao Muyan like this before. In her eyes, Zhao Muyan was always strategizing, and she had never been so childish...

But as long as she encounters the matter of arresting the chief, she will always be like this...

"Your Majesty... Excuse me for being troublesome, the director of Qi arrest has injuries on his body, and it's freezing outside. If we continue to wait, I'm afraid we will get hurt even more..."

Li'er saw that the man's back stiffened, but there was no response. Li'er sighed, and when she turned around to leave, Zhao Muyan sat up and looked at Li'er resentfully.

"Call her in!"

When Li'er heard this, she was overjoyed, and immediately ran out and called Qi Yuxin in.

When Qi Yuxin heard Li'er say that Zhao Muyan was willing to see her, he was naturally happy in his heart, but at the same time he was afraid and didn't know how to face Zhao Muyan.

She stepped into the bedroom step by step, and saw the man sitting on the chair, looking down at the book, without leaving a single look to herself.

"See the Empress."

"Excuse me, I don't know what's the point of arresting the chief?"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, Qi Yu felt as if an awl had been pierced into his heart, and the pain was so painful...

Yeah... what is she here for?

She wanted to meet Zhao Muyan... She felt relieved after seeing him... But seeing the coldness on the man's brow, for some reason, she wanted to cry...

Qi Yu approached Zhao Muyan step by step, and Zhao Muyan couldn't help but look up now, the man walked towards him with red eyes, the panic in his heart spread uncontrollably throughout his body.

"Do what?"

Zhao Muyan stood up and wanted to back away, but was hugged by Qi Yuxin, probably because she had been standing outside for a long time, the clothes on her body were a little cold, but gradually, she could feel that under the clothes, belonged to Qi Yu. The warm body temperature of Yu's heart.

"Qi Yuxin, you are presumptuous!"

Zhao Muyan's voice was not loud, and he seemed a little weak. Qi Yu didn't feel a sense of intimidation, so naturally he didn't let go of his hand.

"Zhao Muyan...I miss you..."

Qi Yuxin suddenly felt too tired... The days of fighting against her own heart were too tiring, the days of avoiding Zhao Muyan were too tiring, and the days of uncovering layers of truth in the process of investigating the case were too tiring...

One sentence I miss you...

How exhausted Qi Yu's heart was exhausted...

"sorry Sorry…"

Qi Yu hugged Zhao Muyan tightly, as if she was afraid that she would run away, but she suddenly remembered that it was only herself who had been running away.

After Zhao Muyan heard this, her whole body softened, she was still no match for Qi Yuxin...

This person can soften her heart with just a few words. Sometimes she hates herself for not living up to expectations. She should teach this person more lessons, but...

But she is reluctant to...

"Aren't you trying to hide from me? Why do you still miss me?"

Zhao Muyan didn't realize that even his tone softened, he felt wronged in his heart, his eyes were also slightly reddened, and they were extraordinarily warm...

"I don't want to hide...but I dare not, Zhao Muyan, I dare not..."

I dare not love you, dare not approach you... I am afraid that you will be in danger, I am afraid that this deep palace will swallow you up...

They are capital crimes...

"Qi Yuxin...you don't believe me after all...with me here, what are you afraid of?"

After Zhao Muyan finished speaking, he bit Qi Yuxin on the neck, as if to punish this person for not listening to his repeated words.

Qi Yu's heart ached, but she didn't groan, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes...

"Zhao Muyan... This is a capital crime for us..."

It's a capital crime... How can I let you take this risk, and how can I be willing... The father's case has not yet been investigated...

I don't want you to have an accident, and I selfishly don't want to have an accident at this time...

"Qi Yuxin, you underestimate me..."

Zhao Muyan knows that the power of life and death is still in Tang Yuan's hands, but she can roll around in this deep palace for so long, and even make the emperor trust her very much, and the prince also respects herself as her sister and teacher, so she naturally has her own means...

But she can't let Qi Yuxin know this, it's not the time... Let Qi Yuxin continue to maintain a sense of awe, maybe she will be safer, but she wants Qi Yuxin to believe in herself, this entangled mood, It upset her a lot.

Zhao Muyan gently pushed Qi Yu's heart away, looked up at the face that made him think about it day and night, his heart trembled slightly...

"Qi Yuxin, kiss me..."
