In addition to beauty, she also has a mold

Zhao Wuling retorted lightly, "There may not be only one murderer."

There were so many footprints at the scene that it was difficult to tell who belonged to whom. Therefore, it was also difficult to determine how many murderers there were.

Li Yingyu rested her forehead wearily: "I haven't slept soundly these days, and I always have bad premonitions in my heart. I hope it's just that I'm thinking too much. Shi'an, this case is closed, and I will hand over the full power to Sun Gong." Qianqian to investigate, we have more important things to do."

Gao Wenliang died, and many ministers applauded. For him, it was time to abandon this pawn. Although His Majesty limited him to catch the real culprit within five days, if he couldn't find out by then, he could just arrest someone and deal with it. His Majesty will not go into it.

"The most urgent thing is to make peace with Rouran."

-

Outside Kunning Palace.

Lu Jingya stood from dawn to dusk, the queen didn't let her in, but later Wu Liangdi was invited in by the queen's maid, Qian Ling, Wu Liangdi went up the steps, and suddenly stopped and turned to look at her .

Lu Jingya also looked back, with a decent smile on her lips.

Even if Wu Liangdi stood tall, Lu Jingya was still the hostess of the East Palace, and she was also the future master of the harem.

Wu Liangdi pursed her lips and nodded slightly, then stepped into the palace door. Lu Jingya's raised corners of her mouth gradually dropped, her eyes full of indifference and disdain.

Half an hour later, Wu Liangdi walked out of the palace gate, and when she reached Lu Jingya's side, she bowed slightly and said softly: "Sister, sister will leave first."

Lu Jingya folded her hands on her abdomen, looked ahead, and replied calmly: "It's dark and the road is slippery, sister, walk slowly."

Wu Liangdi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I will definitely be careful where I step."

Just as Wu Liangdi left, Qian Ling appeared at the gate of the palace and said: "Crown Concubine, Empress, please enter the palace to talk."

The overlapping hands were clenched suddenly, Lu Jingya smiled, and wanted to lift her feet up the steps, suddenly, a numbness spread from the soles of her feet to her entire legs, and her legs became numb after standing for too long.

A dignified princess, how could she lose her composure in front of a maidservant?
Therefore, she held up the hem of her skirt and slowly climbed up the steps, enduring the discomfort in her legs, until she stepped into the palace door.

The general walked into the hall, and was about to raise his hand to salute, when something flew by beside her and hit her feet heavily, instantly torn apart, and when he raised his head in shock, he met the queen's angry expression.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Jingya lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, bent her legs and knelt down slowly.

People in ancient times had to kneel down at every turn. If it was before, she would not tire of it. But today is different. Her legs are numb after standing for a long time, and standing still is torture. It is better to kneel to relieve the pain.

Therefore, she knelt down willingly, which surprised the queen a lot.

The Queen couldn't help but asked, "Do you know your mistake?"

Lu Jingya responded with a humble attitude: "After returning to my mother, my daughter-in-law realizes her mistake."

"Ah!"

The queen sneered, and asked again: "Then tell me, where is your mistake?"

Knowing that she would ask this question, Lu Jingya calmly replied: "My daughter-in-law's fault was that she was not doing things right. She was not able to notice in time that someone was killed at the Peach Blossom Banquet. She disturbed the young masters and ladies of various families, and asked the mother to punish her."

The queen sneered endlessly: "Punishment? I don't dare to punish you, lest Your Majesty say that I don't understand you, and Qi Ze just died, so he is busy pushing the matter of the peach blossom banquet to you." Qi Ze
Lu Jingya pinched her palms secretly, with a sad face.

Her child, who was born in October of pregnancy, suddenly couldn't speak or laugh, let alone call her mother sweetly. He lay there quietly, lifeless.

His Majesty ordered an investigation into who was responsible for the murder. Several months passed, but there was no clue. She also secretly investigated, but it was still fruitless.

Her child just disappeared, quietly. Since then, His Majesty's attitude towards the East Palace has changed.

In order to consolidate the status of the East Palace, Li Yingyu went out early and came back late. He was no longer as close to her as before. On the contrary, Wu Liangdi, who had just joined the family, had a lot of communication with him. She didn't know what they said, but she couldn't hear it.

In the past, she liked the idiom of respecting each other as a guest, but now she realizes that if there is any estrangement, gains and losses and caressing heart, she has been completely submerged in the past, and now she is completely different.

Tears fell on the back of her hand, which was extremely hot. She knelt down on the ground: "Don't say that, the queen mother. If the queen mother didn't value her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't entrust such important things as the peach blossom banquet to her daughter-in-law. I'm sorry, it's the queen mother."

After hearing this, the queen's face became a little better.

"I'm sorry that the palace is small, but the prince is big. With so many people present, the whole capital must know after today. Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the prince? Over the years, he has been careful every step of the way. It's because I'm afraid that those courtiers who don't deal with him will catch him and test him in front of the emperor."

The Queen became more and more excited as she spoke. She slapped the table angrily and said: "Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. Now everyone knows that the Crown Princess is not doing well, and the East Palace is involved. Many courtiers have already submitted memorials. In order to calm down the matter, the Emperor will investigate the matter." The case was thrown onto the prince's head and he was ordered to find out the truth within three days. He is already very busy with the trivial matters in the palace, and another hot potato has been thrown into his head. You are going to tire him out, huh?"

Lu Jingya lowered her eyes irritably, and replied, "Please rest assured, mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is investigating this matter."

"You check?"

The empress looked at her with more and more disgust: "So much time in the day, have you found out anything? The prince just finished his work in the palace, and went to the Ministry of punishment without stopping. Wu Liangdi was considerate of the prince, so she came to visit Ben on his behalf. Gong, and you, as the crown princess, not only cannot share the burden for him, but also make the burden on his shoulders heavier, if I knew this, I should not have promised the crown prince to marry a merchant girl to be the crown princess."

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the lowest.

Lu Jingya's back was stiff, even though she was full of resentment, she could only endure it.

In a feudal society, money is also used by power, and those with power decide life and death, and if they make mistakes, it is a life-threatening crime, and it is even a serious crime that implicates the entire family.

Seeing that she was silent, the empress waved her hands annoyedly: "If you are not feeling well, go back and recuperate. During these days, let Wu Liangdi take care of the affairs of the Eastern Palace for you."

Lu Jingya suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth and hesitated to speak.

She wanted to readily agree and hand over everything to Wu Liangdi, while she herself would be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind, just like the heroine in the time-traveling novel, who cares nothing about everything, eats and drinks, Live a smart and unrestrained life.

But when faced with the invisible power struggle in the palace, she knew very well that if she didn't have power in her hands, she would sooner or later become a piece of meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.

In a patriarchal society, it is difficult for a woman to move forward. When she first crossed over, she spent a lot of effort to take back the business that belonged to the original owner from the brothers of the Lu family. She had gone through many hardships to get to this point.

How could she be willing to give up now?

But the queen has already said so, such an aggressive attitude, even if she doesn't agree, it won't help.

Wu Liangdi seems to be gentle, but in fact she has deep scheming, she has long wanted to replace her, but unfortunately this person's thoughts cannot be hidden, she is not afraid of such inferior methods.

So what about making concessions now, it depends on whether Wu Liangdi can bear it.
