Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 262 Seeing the Empress Dowager ([-]) Second Watch
"The living can't do anything to you, I have other ways."

"Are you using those ghosts? I told them before I came that I would cause you some trouble. When they saw that they felt more comfortable, they left as soon as possible. I figured it would be a good thing for you to keep them. If you don't leave now, maybe what I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

As soon as Wu Chen finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door of the West House. This person was wearing very bloated clothes and his hair was loose. In the darkness, he could see that this person was walking in a very strange posture. His upper body was motionless, while his lower body was twisting towards the throne Walk slowly.

"For many years, no one dared to talk to me like that."

"Isn't the Queen Mother serving like Nanny Rong? It's a bit too much for the Queen Mother to go by herself."

The Empress Dowager naturally didn't know who Nanny Rong was, and thought Wu Chen was asking about the Nanny who served her personally, so she replied:
"I don't like people getting close." The queen mother said and sat on the throne.

"What about the late emperor? If you don't let the late emperor get close, you won't have the current majesty..."

"presumptuous!"

Wu Chen only felt buzzing in his ears.

"Your Majesty asked you to clean up the wronged souls in the palace?" The Queen Mother asked again in a lukewarm tone.

"In this palace, only the ghost left by the Queen Mother is still there..."

"When reporting back to His Majesty, don't say that."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why should I listen to you?"

"If you don't listen, you won't be able to leave here alive." The queen mother said unhurriedly.

"Then I want to try!"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and left the palace. He raised his hand and waved his sleeves again. Not far away, the ghosts waiting to watch the excitement in mid-air were slapped away by him, and the palace maids and eunuchs who suddenly appeared in the courtyard were also slapped by him. Then, Wu Chen strode out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Gao Er, Xu Da and several guards were waiting outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning. They were relieved to see Wu Chen come out. Gao Er hurriedly said, "The little eunuch is going to report to His Majesty..."

"Stay farther away." Wu Chen stood still and said to the sophomores, then raised his head and shouted to the air, "Leave now, if you are later caught by the Queen Mother, if you want to leave, you won't be able to leave. She will keep you She has no good intentions, before she uses other methods to imprison you, you go away quickly, and I will avenge you..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Chen fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Apparently, all these ghosts heard the conversation between Wu Chen and the Queen Mother just now.

The sophomore hurriedly explained to the guards: "It's nothing, he just rested for a while."

The guards were a little confused. No one touched Wu Chen. After Wu Chen finished talking to the air, he collapsed. This was not what they couldn't figure out the most. What they couldn't figure out was how Wu Chen could get out so quickly and easily. The Compassion Palace?And the people from Compassion Ning Palace did not chase him out.

Just as the guards were thinking, Wu Chen stood up and said, "I have to go back, the elder brother and the second elder brother should report to His Majesty quickly and lock Concubine Su up! If someone from here comes to tell you to go in, just say what I said, don't go!"

"What did you say?" a guard couldn't help asking.

"Yes, just tell me what I said, I will explain it to Your Majesty, but don't go, I don't know the way."

After finishing speaking, Wu Chen turned around and entered the Compassion Palace again.

The Empress Dowager was still sitting on the throne, but the candles in the hall were lit, and there were kneeling palace maids and eunuchs who had just been slapped down by Wu Chen.

"If you kill them again, there is really no one around. Just now I went out and let those souls leave. They are quite obedient. Of course, I also want to show you that I want to come to this Palace of Compassion and Peace." Come and leave as you want, you can't keep me."

Wu Chen stood in the hall, looking at the Queen Mother carefully while talking.

The hair on the top of the empress dowager's head is already white, and the hair hanging down is black, but the whole face is frighteningly pale, even the lips are white, but some shadows of beauty can still be vaguely seen. Dominating the country and the city is also a first-class appearance of the Qingfu and the county.

Wu Chen shook his head and said:

"The original family has a great influence on children. What do you and Er Niangzi's family do? She refuses to leave after she dies. You live as if you are dead. Is there no threshold for royal selection of concubines? I remember the emperors of all dynasties. You are very concerned about tricks, these sorcerers, how did the two of you sisters break into the royal family?"

The queen mother was shocked, and she asked in a trembling voice: "You, have you seen her?"

Wu Chen pointed to the people on the ground and said, "Let them all go down first."

The queen mother waved her hand, and the people kneeling on the ground scrambled to get out.

"Not only did I see her, but I also spent a few days with her day and night, and I can say that I have nothing to say..."

"Why didn't her soul fly away?!" The queen mother leaned forward, her eyes were instantly scarlet.

"How much hatred? To the point? You answer my question first, and I'll tell you what she told me. Your family must have something to do with magic. Why did the late emperor choose you to enter the palace? This is not the same as leading a wolf into a house." Who can beat you in a harem fight?"

The Queen Mother chuckled and asked, "You are so trusted by His Majesty, why didn't he tell you?"

"There is only one explanation. When you entered the palace, you were still a kind person. The second lady was jealous of you, and she also wanted to have everything you had, so she began to use some insidious methods..."

Wu Chen paid attention to the Empress Dowager's expression while talking. The Empress Dowager's pale face did not show any signs of disturbance, she just looked at Wu Chen sullenly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Wu Chen knew that his deduction was wrong, he waved his hand and said, "Whatever, these are your family affairs, now His Majesty ordered me to clean up the ghosts in the palace, because I became suspicious of the Queen Mother, I should do what I should do That's all, the Queen Mother will rest early, and I will report to His Majesty."

"You said you sent all those ghosts away?" the Queen Mother asked.

Wu Chen had already turned around, but turned around and said:
"Three of them died because of Concubine Su, but in the end it was also because of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Su are relatives. I don't know what the two of you conspired about, but the three maids who have seen the mother in front of the Empress Dowager went to Concubine Su's place. , but they were executed by sticks because of trivial matters. After they died, they harbored resentment and did not leave. I heard with my own ears that Concubine Su said that she was ordered by the Queen Mother to kill the three people. I said before that it is not easy for others to see the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Su can see it if she wants to. Really, what is the important matter, why do you need to ask the nanny to discuss with Concubine Su? Finding a reason to die with a cane? This doesn’t make sense.”

The Queen Mother's eyes returned to normal again, she looked straight at Wu Chen and muttered, "You can really see ghosts."

"So the three maids in Concubine Su's Palace were killed not because of what they saw or heard, but because of what they secretly ate!"
