Li Jinchen thought that Concubine Lin Shu would be in danger, and it might be Hong's hand. The queen mother's leg was not healed, and she was frightened twice. It wasn't that she spent more time sleeping than awake, and there was no time to arrange these things.

And the child in Yuan Xiaoqi's stomach is very likely to be Hong's, after all the most trusted person around the Queen Mother is Hong.

The queen mother gave Hong a chance to let his child be the next emperor, then Hong's ambition would be magnified. Although the queen mother is dying now, Hong will never give up this opportunity to let his child be the emperor.

So Hong was the most suspected, but there was a reason why he wanted to get rid of Yuan Xiaoqi first.

Firstly, after Yuan Xiaoqi died, Hong had no hope, and secondly, he suspected that the failure of the previous treasure project had something to do with Yuan Xiaoqi.

Although I don't know how Yuan Xiaoqi knew about his plan, but the more he can't find out, the more it shows that this person is terrible.

In order to avoid the same danger in the future, he had to get rid of Yuan Xiaoqi.

But the other party disappeared as if he had discovered something.

A person as big as Yuan Xiaoqi disappeared in the palace, and the guards at the gate and the maids and eunuchs did not see how she disappeared. Li Jinchen suspected that Yuan Xiaoqi had been hidden in the palace.

This palace is so big, it is also possible that there are several secret passages that are not known to the public.

Li Jinchen has been guarded by the queen mother since he was born, and he doesn't know much about the palace, Ying and the others should know better, but now that Ying is sent by him to take care of Concubine Lin Shu, he can only find someone else.

Fortunately, there were seven secret guards, and he sent two of them to look for them in the palace, and after they found them, they got rid of Yuan Xiaoqi.

He also tried to ask someone to test Hong, Hong's martial arts is very strong, and there are many hidden guards around him, it is too difficult to kill Hong.

The court was barely going as he wanted, those courtiers who could win over had already drawn over to his side, and after getting the soldier talisman, he also drew the general over to his side.

He also tried another general, but the other party actually stood on Hong's side, and not only because the soldier talisman was in Hong's hands, but also because Hong saved his life, the two of them swore to become brothers.

Under such circumstances, Li Jinchen could not act rashly, could not forcibly win over that general, and could not kill Hong at will, otherwise the general would avenge his brother-in-law.

Li Jinchen rubbed his sore forehead, there was nothing that made him worry.

Ye Jiangyu found that Li Jinchen had been frowning during this time, and he couldn't help much. He wanted to ask the emperor, but the emperor would not hide it from him, and would tell him what happened.

But Ye Jiangyu would be confused by these intricate things as he listened. The more he listened, the more sleepy he became, and he fell asleep directly in the emperor's arms.

Li Jinchen looked at the little queen who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and raised his hand to stroke Ye Jiangyu's soft hair. Fortunately, his little queen has always been so pure and beautiful, and only if he keeps being so simple, will he be carefree .

And no matter how irritable Li Jinchen encountered, as long as he stayed with Ye Jiangyu, he would feel calm.

In the next period of time, Yuan Xiaoqi was still not found, and the queen mother also became crazy. She no longer relied on Taoist monks. Specifically, she no longer relied on anyone. She thought that everyone would harm her, and those two " "Ghost" is watching her and trying to kill her.

The empress dowager's temperament has changed drastically. In the past, even if the empress dowager killed someone, she would find a legitimate reason, and she would kill secretly without a reason, and shirk it on others.

But now it has become very cruel, and they are all done by themselves. Hearing that the maid combed her hair in the morning, she saw the maid smiling in the mirror, and said that the other party smiled very strangely, so she directly inserted the golden hairpin into the maid. neck, and the neck died instantly.

But the maid argued that she hadn't laughed, and the other palace people at the scene also said that the maid didn't smile, she just combed her hair properly as usual.

But the queen mother said that, and the palace people also hesitated. Could it be that what the queen mother saw in the mirror was not the maid, but someone else.

Later, I heard that the queen mother killed several maids who waited for her to take a bath, because the queen mother said that she saw the faces of those maids turned into grimaces in the reflection in the water.

This kind of thing happened almost every day. People in the Empress Dowager's palace were panic-stricken and they didn't dare to approach them, for fear that they would be the next person to be killed by the Empress Dowager.

And they were also wondering whether those two ghosts really existed, and those two dirty things would possess these palace people.

……

When this rumor spread to Ye Jiangyu, Ye Jiangyu was frightened, especially since Li Jinchen was still in court at this time, and he was alone at home, so he always felt that he was going to be suspicious.

He hurried out of the house, found a place with the most sunshine in the garden, and asked the palace people to move the table, brought Mingyue Caixia and an eunuch, and the four of them played mahjong together.

Still worried, he called a lot of eunuchs to watch them play mahjong. When there were more people, he finally felt better, and playing mahjong would distract his attention, so he was not afraid immediately.

When Li Jinchen came down to the court, he heard the eunuch who took care of the daily life around him report that Ye Jiangyu was frightened when he heard about the incident in the queen mother's palace.

When Li Jinchen heard this, he clenched his fists worriedly, walked back anxiously, and asked the eunuch blamingly, "Who told you to tell the queen about this? There will be similar things in the future... In the future, if there are any dead people, you are not allowed to tell the queen, and offenders will be severely punished."

The eunuch was so frightened that his legs were weak and he kept wiping his sweat, "Yes."

When Li Jinchen was walking back, all he could think about was Ye Jiangyu, his little queen was so timid, she must be shaking and crying under the quilt in fright.

His little queen is so fragile and needs him so much. If he is not around, she will definitely lose her courage, it is so pitiful.

But when he went back, it happened that Ye Jiangyu had grabbed a handful of good cards and was smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Li Jinchen: "???"

Seeing the emperor coming, Ye Jiangyu quickly waved to the emperor, "Your Majesty, hurry up and see how lucky I am!"

Li Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that he hadn't comforted Ye Jiangyu yet, why wasn't Ye Jiangyu afraid?Wouldn't it be strong and calm?

In fact, his little queen still cares about face. There must be too many palace people here. Ye Jiangyu didn't want to cry in front of them and let them watch jokes, so he pretended to be happy.

Li Jinchen sighed, walked to Ye Jiangyu and sat down, "Let them go first."

He didn't want Ye Jiangyu to be so tired, if he was afraid, he would lie in his arms and cry for a while, to vent.

Who knew that after saying this, Ye Jiangyu gave him a stare.

Ye Jiangyu was speechless, and wanted to push Li Jinchen aside, "I just caught a good hand, your majesty, let them all go, whose gang are you?"

Ye Jiangyu seemed afraid that they would all leave, so he hurriedly played cards, and then signaled Li Jinchen with his eyes not to speak, so as not to affect his luck.

Li Jinchen was even more puzzled. The way his little queen was playing cards so excitedly did not seem to be pretending, but was really serious about playing cards.

Ye Jiangyu's hand was so good that it became blurred after a while.

Ye Jiangyu stomped his feet happily, "I'm so lucky, maybe I've been lucky recently, hehe."

When he said this, he seemed to have completely forgotten why he moved the table here to play cards.

Li Jinchen actually asked him this question, "Why do you come here to play cards in this hot weather? How cool is it to go indoors?"

"Maybe this position attracts money, and I will be super lucky after I sit here!" Ye Jiangyu smiled as if thinking of something, "Oh, yes, I came here because I was afraid, so I moved I went to a sunny place to play cards, and I ended up playing high, hehe."

He giggled silly, making Li Jinchen feel helpless.

Li Jinchen sent the others away, and then asked Ye Jiangyu, "What about now? It seems that you are not afraid anymore?"

Ye Jiangyu nodded, "I'm not too scared anymore. When I heard the rumor, I thought the palace was really haunted, so I didn't dare to stay in the room. I always felt that the room was dark, and I was afraid that I would also be haunted." Will be recruited."

"Why are you not afraid now?" Li Jinchen casually grabbed a card on the table and asked Ye Jiangyu, "Is mahjong so powerful? Let you forget all your troubles? It seems that I will play cards with you every day in the future. , so that those annoying things won't stay in your mind all the time."

"No...that's sort of it." Ye Jiangyu scratched his head, "At first I was distracted by mahjong, but soon I figured it out. The first time that ghost was the Kongming lantern I put, the second The second time was painted by the emperor on the wall of the Empress Dowager’s Palace, and the third time was painted on the bed curtain of the Empress Dowager. We are the masterminds behind the scenes. How could it be a real ghost? I think the Empress Dowager might be scared sick Yeah, I got a mental illness like persecution paranoia."

Ye Jiangyu sighed, "It's just those people in his palace who are suffering. Those people want to stay with an aggressive mental patient, and they were killed by the Queen Mother for no reason. It's really pitiful."

Ye Jiangyu was talking and found that the emperor was listening to him seriously, so he changed his words to flatter the emperor: "But the main reason why I am not afraid is you, the emperor, because you are the only person in this palace who is full of yang, With the emperor here, which one of those monsters outside would dare to come in."
