The queen is alluring

Chapter 135

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside. According to Qin Tianjian, the weather will be repeated in the last one or two months, and the rain will not stop." Eunuch Zhao walked carefully to the emperor's side, raised his hand to hold the inkstone, and slowly polished it.But when he saw that the emperor didn't respond at all, he couldn't help but glanced up and then froze.

The emperor looked coldly at Zhezi in front of him, although his expression was calm, but his jaw was extremely tense, and his deep eyes were sharp and gloomy.On the nib of the pen, a huge drop of ink landed on the bright yellow paper with a bang, and slowly blurred into a pile of ink flowers, but his body was still unaware of his rigidity.

When Eunuch Zhao saw the emperor's appearance, his heart trembled, and he slowly looked at the copy, and then froze again.Because on that booklet was written Tanwei's secret reports and various speculations on the little queen's pursuit for more than half a year. Among them, the handwriting circled with red cinnabar said 'at the foot of Lishan Mountain'.

In fact, on the day the little queen disappeared, the emperor sent out all the black-clothed detectives to start a massive search, and even deliberately delayed the return of the Cold War to the court on the grounds that the Huns were rampant, but no one knew that all of this All these actions are actually to be able to track down the trail of the little queen.

Because the emperor knows that such a woman is very smart, and she knows that once she leaves the palace, she will definitely cause a great disturbance, so she will definitely follow Leng Zhantian's footsteps to Beichu.However, for half a year, he searched and investigated everywhere, and even laid a net in Beichu, but there was still no news.

Until a few days ago, the spies found clues at the foot of Lishan Mountain, where the little queen was least likely to appear.The waiter from the tea shed shop who has not yet moved out accidentally told Tan Wei who went to have a tea break that about half a year ago, when the mountain was covered by heavy snow, there was a boy in black with a handsome appearance and an extraordinary appearance. A pretty girl about six or seven years old with a cinnabar on her forehead passed by, but the little girl seemed to be sick at that time.

Seeing this, Eunuch Zhao couldn't help worrying about the emperor.In the past six months, the emperor has become more and more stern, and even gradually became reticent, and his methods of handling things are also extremely sharp.Regarding the disputes and incidents that recurred in the harem, the handling was even more ruthless. The most important thing was that the emperor never laughed again.

"Where is Pang Yan?" Just as Eunuch Zhao was thinking about it, the emperor's deep and quiet voice suddenly sounded.

Eunuch Zhao was shocked, and then hurriedly said: "Report to the emperor, the guard Pang is waiting outside the hall for the emperor's summons."

"Xuan" said the emperor with a gloomy expression.

"Yes" Eunuch Zhao quickly ran out of the study with small steps, chanted loudly, and let Pang Yan enter the hall.

Pang Yan, who was dressed in dust and dust, stepped quickly from the outside of the main hall, walked into the inner hall, kowtowed in front of the Minghuang case in the imperial study, and said: "My subordinates refer to the emperor—"

The emperor remained silent, and looked at Pang Yan with a pair of deep and deserted eyes. Pang Yan felt a chill all over his body, and lowered his head in fear.Seeing this, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly said: "Guard Pang, the emperor has already read the paper you submitted, so report the cause and effect of the matter quickly."

After hearing this, Pang Yan immediately reported: "My subordinates reported to the emperor that they have already inspected the entire Lishan Mountain and visited the Queen Mother in the palace. They asked if they had seen the little queen. Furious, he not only reprimanded his subordinates, but also sent Eunuch Zhang to blow them out of the palace. The subordinates had no choice but to sneak into the palace at night with the emperor's gold medal to inquire, and finally heard from the deputy leader of the patrol army that the A few strange things did happen in Huaqing Palace in one night."

The emperor's eyes sank, his handsome face was shrouded in cold mist, he slightly opened his thin lips, and said in a majestic and low voice: "Say"

"Yes, my subordinates heard from the deputy officer that in the middle of the night about half a year ago, there were strange noises from the eaves of Huaqing Palace, but the guards and archers searched around and found nothing unusual, because the Queen Mother The empress was afraid of the cold and was taking a bath, so all the soldiers did not dare to disturb her, but they did not expect that just after the fourth watch, a huge snowball suddenly fell from the top of the snow-covered eaves of Huaqing Palace and hit it on the ground. On the Pear Blossom Gate in the southeast corner, the archers assembled to attack, but still no one was seen." General Pang Yan reported the incident one by one, then paused, and then said: "The most strange thing is that the seven-fold palace gate With such a loud noise, the Empress Dowager did not come out of the hall to inquire, but on the second day, a man's body was found in the north corner of the palace. According to Mr. Zhang, it was the assassin who stole that night, but this man's The way of death is very strange."

When Eunuch Zhao heard what Pang Yan said, he felt terrified. Didn't he understand that the little queen had already gone to Mount Li?And at the foot of Mount Li, someone saw a girl who looked like the little queen, so...

"Continue to talk" The emperor's complexion became more and more gloomy, and the anger of the storm had accumulated in his eyes.

"The deputy leader said that the man was more than eight feet tall, dressed in blue and black, and had a strong body. When he was carried out, six guards were used. Originally, the leader wanted to report the matter to the court, but the Queen Mother The empress said that it was just a small thief who stole, and there was no need to alarm the emperor, so she concealed the matter. In order to find out the truth, the subordinate asked the sergeant to dig up the corpse. As a result, the subordinate found that the carotid artery of the corpse , there are scars pierced by a sharp weapon, but they are not fatal, but the spine behind him was broken. Judging from the marks on the bones, it should be caused by exerting force with fingers," Pang Yan said slowly.

However, although these words did not expressly speculate about the relationship between this man and the queen, they clearly pointed out that the death of this man was indeed related to the queen, because the so-called thief died in Chenqi Palace half a year ago. Like the murderer in the middle of the assassination, the carotid artery was stabbed and the spine was broken.

The emperor's face was serious, but anger had already appeared in his eyes. He clenched his long and slender hand holding the pen into a fist. In this silent palace, he remembered the sound of his joints in horror.Afterwards, he tore up the folds on the table, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"The emperor calms down." Pang Yan frowned when he saw Zhezi flying down from his head.

"The emperor calms down, the emperor calms down..." Eunuch Zhao was also taken aback, and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, and slowly picked up the papers.

"Why?" the emperor said suddenly, but it surprised the two kneeling on the ground, and they looked at each other for some confusion.The emperor, on the other hand, clenched his teeth, punched hard on the table, and then closed his eyes that were full of jealousy, almost spitting out flames, and said in a low and depressed voice: "Why haven't you found it until now? Half a year." , For half a year, you only found such a little clue."
