"What were you doing before Shaoyao's accident?" Nan Xi asked.

Hanjue: "My master ordered us to guard Xia Rui's room, Shaoyao for the first half of the night, and the servant for the second half of the night. Lan Jue said that he saw Shaoyao when he went back to rest."

Nan Xi looked at Lan Jue.

Lan Jue nodded: "Yes, my subordinate even said a few words to Shaoyao at that time, asking her to call me if she needed help. But when I heard Hanlian's voice and rushed over, Shaoyao was no longer breathing. "

Nan Xi felt depressed.

From the first day she entered the Regent's Palace, peony and lotus seeds were by her side.

A few days ago, Shaoyao was smiling and dreaming about what kind of person she would marry in the future.

Hanlian also laughed at her for being shameless.

She also thought about bringing them together when Xia Rui gets better. If it works, they will be a good couple.

But I didn't expect that now the yin and yang are separated, and it is difficult to see each other again.

Li Qingmo's hand touched her cheek, wiping away the tears with his fingertips.

"Cry if you want. After you cry, we will avenge Shaoyao together."

Nan Xi lay in Li Qingmo's arms, grabbed his collar, and cried loudly.

Han He and Lan Jue's eyes also turned red.

Shaoyao's funeral was held according to the specifications of the regent's lady, and the memorial tablet was written by Li Qingmo himself.

In the name of Nan Xi.

Recognize Peony as your adopted sister.

Everyone knew that someone had died in the Regent's Palace.

He is still a close confidant around Nan Xi.

The regent had just returned to the palace when something happened. This was a deliberate provocation.

The atmosphere in the entire capital became condensed. Jing Zhaoyin's yamen were constantly patrolling the streets, and the guards at the city gate strictly scrutinized everyone entering and leaving the city.

When he went to court, someone came to the table and said: "The regent is too high-profile this time. He has made people in the capital panic because of a maid. It is really inappropriate."

Li Qingmo rarely came to court in the morning, and unexpectedly he met someone who dared to confront him.

He turned around leisurely and looked at the newly promoted imperial censor.

"What's your last name?"

Oh yes, the regent doesn't know this person yet.

This censor was a noble person, but he did not forget the etiquette. He cupped his fists and said, "Weak minister Shen Su."

"Oh."

Li Qingmo nodded: "Master Shen, do you think this king is disturbing the people?"

Shen Su: "Exactly."

"Hehehe..."

Li Qingmo smiled, and everyone's hearts trembled.

Someone gave Shen Su a wink.

Mr. Shen, why do you think you are provoking this living king of hell?

It's over!

The censor has to be replaced again.

The emperor finally had the opportunity to support his own people, but the regent returned to his original shape. If the queen mother knew about it, she might be in trouble.

Li Qingmo walked up to Shen Su and asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Shen Sudao: "Wei Chen was fortunate enough to be promoted by our emperor and appointed as a censor. He wants to say something that others cannot or dare not say. If he offends the regent, it is fate. Wei Chen has no complaints or regrets."

After saying that, he lifted up the hem of his court uniform and knelt on the ground, as if he was waiting for Li Qingmo to show off.

At this time, Qinzheng Palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone thought Shen Su was dead.

The regent passed by!

The Regent reached out!

It's over, it's over, it seems that the regent is so angry that he is about to take action himself. However, the next moment, they saw Li Qingmo helping Shen Su up with his own hands.

help! Got it! rise! Come!

what's the situation?

Are they collectively suffering from eye disease?

Or did the regent change his temper after marrying Feng Lin?

Shen Su was originally determined to die, but he didn't expect that things would take a shocking turn.

Li Qingmo helped Shen Su up and patted his shoulder.

"Master Shen's courage is commendable. I admire him very much. I will be a good student and assist the emperor in the future. Don't forget your original intention."

Everyone suddenly felt a little envious of Shen Su.

This was the first time in so many years that the regent had openly praised an official.

It seems that Shen Su has a promising career in the future.

Well, I have to talk to him after the morning meeting and keep in touch in the future.

Li Qingmo continued what he had just said: "On the surface, everyone thinks that it is just a maid who died in my palace, so there is no need to make such a big fight, but in fact, Shaoyao is the adopted sister of Queen Fenglin, and this person can lurk Someone who kills people secretly in the Regent's Palace may come to the palace next. If this person is not eliminated, Dongyue will be in trouble."

Only then did Shen Su look enlightened and bow deeply towards Li Qingmo.

"What the prince said is absolutely true, but this humble minister is just ignorant."

Li Qingmo looked at everyone present with a scrutinizing gaze.

Said: "Once this king finds out that this matter is related to one of you, or if he fails to report the matter, you should also understand my temper. I will not care about whether you are high or low, and I will kill you regardless."

The two junior officers in the last row looked at each other, pursed their lips, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak.

Li Qingmo happened to catch a glimpse of this scene.

Normally, he might not care.

It's normal for the officials who are in charge of the government to have small actions and thoughts with each other.

This was originally a place for playing tricks.

But at this time, he always felt that something was fishy.

So, after going to court, Li Qingmo called Wen Ying over.

The two of them stood on the high watchtower, just watching the backs of the officials leaving the palace.

"Are you familiar with those two people?" Li Qingmo asked.

Wen Ying nodded, "Yang Fang and Jia Jing, what's wrong?"

Li Qingmo: "Let your people follow them."

Wen Ying was a little curious: "Does the Regent trust me too much?"

Li Qingmo intuitively felt that Wen Ying was trustworthy, so he would trust her to the end.

"It is not convenient for my people to show up now, and it is the same for Zishun's people. After thinking about it, you are the only one I can use now."

Wen Ying did not refuse and asked: "Aren't you afraid that if I know too much, it will be detrimental to you? I am with the emperor every day now. What if I have murderous intentions? Your little emperor of Dongyue will not be safe. .”

"You Dongyue?"

Li Qingmo became more certain about his guess, "You are indeed not from Dongyue."

Wen Ying did not deny it, "Does the prince still dare to believe me now?"

Li Qingmo said: "The people in Jianghu Village should have no interest in the affairs of the courts of various countries. You are the real outsider. I naturally trust you."

Wen Ying raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "You know that I am from Jianghu Village, and you still want me to interfere in this matter? Our rules do not concern the court."

Li Qingmo: "It concerns Nan'er and Zishun. You will not refuse."

Wen Ying said nothing more, turned and left.

It's towards the outside of the palace.

She has to arrange for people to do things.

The people in Shuanghuayuan dared to take action in the Prince Regent's Mansion. They were very brave. She wanted to see how many heads the person behind this had.

After she walked away, Li Qingmo said in a deep voice: "Come out."

Not long after he paused, Li Beimu walked out from behind a pillar not far away.

"Uncle Emperor, when did you discover me?"
