The Queen's Secret

Southern Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

"Have you considered it?"

Qianqing Palace is the study of Emperor Tang Yuan, and the one kneeling in front of Tang Yuan is Yuan Zhi.

"I have considered it, and I am willing to go to Yuzhou City for a trip."

"Okay, I sure didn't misread you."

Tang Yuan coughed a few times, summoned the eunuch, and said, "Send a hundred taels of gold to the family of Yuan Zusi, so I can take care of it."

Yuan Zhi heard it clearly, and immediately kowtowed to Tang Yuan to thank him.

"Secretary Yuan, you go and learn more about the situation with Master Tao, and the subsequent matters will be arranged by Master Tao."

"promise!"

After Yuan Zhi retreated, Tang Yuan asked the palace people to follow suit. Zhao Muyan, who was sitting upright at the side, immediately softened his body and leaned on the grand teacher's chair, propping his head with one hand, with a lazy and charming posture.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Father!"

Tang Qi stepped forward to help Tang Yuan, the bright yellow dragon robe was draped over his thin body, and it felt a bit heavy, as if his body could no longer support the weight that the dragon robe bestowed on him. Like destiny.

Zhao Muyan didn't go over, but watched all this quietly, not because she was ruthless, but because there were some things that she didn't want to make Tang Yuan misunderstand.

After Tang Yuan stabilized his breath, he said: "Qi'er, you step back first, I have something to say to your sister Zhao."

"Okay, father, take good care of the dragon body."

Tang Qi glanced at Zhao Muyan, and then left Qianqing Palace. Zhao Muyan was still in a lazy posture. She looked at Tang Yuan and asked, "What's the matter?"

"As you can see, my body can't last much longer."

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, Zhao Muyan remained silent. She had no feelings for this man at all, but this kind of feeling was more of a partner and a heartache.

Yes, she loves this man. He is not the best emperor, but he is a benevolent person and a gentleman, but he is born with a sick and weak body, and all dreams are killed in this fragile body. middle.

"What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Muyan asked, Tang Yuan coughed a few times, and said, "I want to summon An Shanglang and Prime Minister Zhao."

An Shanglang is An Yuan's father. He is an upright official and acts cleanly. He is Shanglang of the military department in the court and Tang Yuan's capable assistant.

Zhao Muyan didn't say a word. In the court, apart from Prime Minister Zhao and Marshal Lin who was far away at the border, An Shanglang was the most respected. It was obvious Tang Yuan's intention to summon these two people, he wanted to make a will.

"If I...you have to take good care of the crown prince, and get rid of Tang Zongyan and his remaining party."

As if Tang Yuan was saying his last words, Zhao Muyan looked at that extremely pale handsome face, and suddenly felt a little sad, which she didn't like at all.

"It's really a long way to go..."

Zhao Muyan still pretended to be indifferent, but Tang Yuan was familiar with this woman, and he knew that she had listened to his words.

"The prince is young, and there are many things that need you to take care of, as well as the court... You must cultivate more power for him."

Tang Yuan continued to speak, while Zhao Muyan listened quietly. This seemed to be a tacit understanding between them and an insurmountable boundary between them.

"There is also the matter of Yuan Zhi. If you want to keep in touch with Master Tao, you must always observe..."

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, Zhao Muyan finally stood up, walked to Tang Yuan's side and knelt down.

"Tang Yuan, hold on for a while, maybe you can watch those wolves subdue the law with your own eyes."

"...I wish I could."

If others look at it, the picture at this moment is like the love between the emperor and the empress, but only Tang Yuan and Zhao Muyan understand that there is a contractual relationship between them, but there is also a relationship of mutual sympathy.

After all, Tang Yuan felt sorry for this woman. Originally, she lived in the harem with only intrigues between women, but now...she has to bear the turmoil in the court, and even the infamy from the common people...

queen...

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"But... such sharp scissors can stab into the chest at once. In addition to being strong, the scissors also need to be sharp enough. It is impossible for ordinary people not to use such sharp scissors..."

After Meng Gan finished speaking, Qi Yuxin smiled at him with satisfaction, and continued, "Well, what profession or person would use such sharp scissors?"

"tailor!"

When Meng Gan thought of scissors, he thought of tailoring.

"The cook and the blacksmith may all be useful."

Lin Qingxuan added, while Qi Yu nodded heartily, and continued: "With such sharp scissors and such a knife skill, who else could it be?"

"The tailor and the cook."

Lin Qingxuan continued, the tailors in the capital are famous for their exquisite craftsmanship in the southern country, and the elite cooks also have such exquisite craftsmanship. On the other hand, the blacksmiths who were in the suspicious ranks just now have much rougher craftsmanship.

"Well... Let's start the investigation near the place where the victim was killed. Let's verify whether the wound on the chest was caused by scissors, and then go to the imperial arrest gate to apply for a search warrant. Meng Gan, you look after the house."

After Qi Yuxin finished speaking, Meng Gan was obviously a little disappointed. After all, he really wanted to participate in the investigation, but Meng Gan didn't dare not listen to Qi Yuxin's words, so he stayed in the old case room to watch the house.

Lin Qingxuan and Qi Yuxin came to the small kitchen and asked for a piece of pork, and pierced it with various knives. Qi Yuxin even wrote down the shapes made by various knives for future reference.

After some tests, the closest wound to Shen Linger's was indeed scissors.

It was not time for lunch, and the small kitchen was not too busy. The arrival of Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan seemed to inject a touch of freshness into the small kitchen, adding a little fun to the boring daily work. Everyone watched Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan do experiments.

After the experiment was finished, everyone enjoyed watching it, and then dispersed. Although they really wanted to know why Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan did this experiment, they didn't dare to delay their work.

At this time, Qi Yuxin found Chef Luo in the small kitchen, and asked, "Brother Luo, I would like to ask a question."

"You ask."

Chef Luo was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect that the current celebrity in the Huangzhumen would have something to ask himself.

"If you want to perfectly cut off a person's face, what kind of knife do you need to use, and do you know anyone in the capital who has such skills?"

When Chef Luo heard this, his face turned livid instantly, and he said, "Qi Arrest Director, your question is really scary..."

Cutting off the face... It's scary to think about it.

Only then did Qi Yuxin come to her senses, and Lin Qingxuan couldn't help smiling. It turned out that when Qi Yuxin was confused again, he just asked so bluntly, and didn't consider the chef's feelings, and he wanted to serve dinner. !

"Sorry... for a while..."

Qi Yu scratched her head in her heart, and didn't modify the sentence for a while...

"To be honest, to make such fine knife work, you must use a special small knife, which must be thin and sharp. In the capital..."

Chef Luo thought for a while, and said, "Except for the royal chefs in the palace, I think only the chefs in the Yellow Crane Tower and Guanxing Tower have such skills."

"Okay, thank you Brother Luo."

After Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan thanked Chef Luo, they left the small kitchen, and then left the imperial city.

When I went to Huangzhumen to apply for a search warrant, Huang Yu, the deputy head of the gate, handled it personally, and Tao Mingyi heard that he was discussing the matter with Yuanzhi.

Qi Yu suddenly thought that today was the day when Yuan Zhi would give an answer to the emperor. Tao Mingyi met Yuan Zhi in person and discussed it for so long, so he wanted to come...

Yuan Zhi has already agreed.

Although there is no new evidence, Qi Yuxin has now solved several cases. The emperor and queen attach great importance to her, and the application steps that originally required more complicated procedures were quickly skipped by Qi Yuxin.

"Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Huang."

Qi Yuxin received the search warrant, Huang Yu saw that Qi Yuxin and Lin Qingxuan seemed to have lost weight again, and said, "You two... just don't know how to take care of your body, so take it."

Huang Yu gave Qi Yuxin a money bag, Qi Yu didn't know why, so he didn't reach out to take it, but Huang Yu stuffed it directly into Qi Yuxin's hand, and continued: "Give me a good meal, And that kid Meng Gan, take him with you too."

"Pfft...then thank you, Vice Sect Leader Huang."

Lin Qingxuan wasn't too pretentious, he had money for nothing, how could he not take it? Hearing that Lin Qingxuan had agreed, Qi Yu couldn't bear to refuse Huang Yu's kindness, so he took the money and thanked Huang Yu.

While preparing, Qi Yuxin just saw Yuan Zhi come out.

The two looked at each other, and for some reason, there was a clear meaning in each other's eyes.

"Take care of yourself."

Qi Yuxin just said lightly, although he doesn't like Yuan Zhi, but this task is very difficult, and he will go and return at any time.

Take care, already is the best blessing.

Yuan Zhi didn't respond to Qi Yuxin, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he had accepted Qi Yuxin's blessing.

"what happened?"

Although Lin Qingxuan felt that the phrase 'take care' that Qi Yuxin had just said to Yuan Zhi was a bit abrupt, but he didn't ask at the moment, and only asked after he left the Emperor's Gate.

"Nothing, let's start the investigation!"

The less people know about the secret post, the better, and Lin Qingxuan doesn't have much contact with the Emperor's Clan, so it's better not to let her know.

Lin Qingxuan knew that there must be something hidden, but Qi Yu didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask. After all, she didn't pay much attention to Yuan Zhi's affairs, so she immediately turned her attention back to the case.

"Yu Xin, why don't we split up, I'll go to the nearby tailor shop, and you go to the Yellow Crane Tower and Guanxing Tower?"

"it is good."

"Let's meet at the Star Observatory in a while."

"it is good."

Qi Yuxin accepted Lin Qingxuan's proposal, and the two started to split up. Qi Yuxin walked all the way to the Yellow Crane Tower, but at this moment, she felt that someone was following her. She would be extra vigilant when walking around in the capital, but unexpectedly she found someone following her.

When she looked back, the man immediately hid in a corner, but was still captured by Qi Yuxin.

She walked to that corner and saw the woman she saw in the capital cemetery that day...

Zhao Muyan's personal guard...

"It's you?"

Qi Yu crossed her arms in her arms, not understanding why Zhao Muyan sent someone to follow her...

"It's...it's me..."

This is a bit embarrassing... As an elite bodyguard... to be discovered a second time... It's a bit embarrassing...
