Chapter 720

"Your Majesty, it has been dealt with."

The shadows returned to Xiao Yichen's side, the handsome man did not speak, but his face still had a somewhat dangerous expression.

He doesn't have any sympathy for such a person who doesn't eat a toast and eats fine wine.Actually pretending to be noble in front of him, yes, it must be pretending.

Xiao Yichen always felt that the picture of affection was lingering. He didn't believe that someone could really abandon their glory and wealth just to be with their wretched wife. It was like saying that he was wrong and selfish in the past .He felt that everyone in the world should be like him, so he wouldn't have so many regrets.

Rural people with rough tea and light meals?Huh, stupid!That is the life that the powerless are forced to choose.

Xiao Yichen suddenly found that he was still holding the dry food that the hunter gave him just now, his eyes darkened, and he threw it on the grass beside him mercilessly. "Remember this road." When he goes back to get rid of the poison, he will come back and compete with the maze of the lotus kingdom!
……

In the Lotus Palace.

A black-robed man appeared silently in the quiet palace. The queen glanced at him lazily, but she didn't speak. This attitude is enough to explain her displeasure.

"The old man sees the empress, this is the blood ointment this time, the effect is better than before, and it can protect the skin of the empress better than the girl."

An exquisite small box appeared in the elder's hand, he gently opened it, and the bright red lychee-like and crystal clear ointment was presented in front of him.The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, "What is this made of?"

The elder raised his eyes, and a flash of light flashed across his cloudy but shrewd eyes, and the queen immediately guessed what it was.

"That girl, in the end, it's kind of useful."

The nurse behind her immediately stepped forward to take the blood ointment, and the queen tapped her index finger lightly, and slowly spread it on the back of her hand, which was so cold that it made people feel a bit biting.

The blood of Shangguan Meng can not only be used to make poison, but also be used to make a holy product for beauty and skin care, and the effect is amazing.The elder knew that Shangguan Meng had angered the empress and made the empress dissatisfied with him, and now he used such a terrifying but precious thing to please the empress, the two of them knew it well.

"Gongsun Mansion is heavily guarded, but I didn't expect you to be able to come and go freely."

The elder chuckled, with undisguised contempt. "The hard work of this old man cannot be given to others for nothing."

The queen smiled meaningfully, "I want to see how General Gongsun will explain this time."

In General Gongsun's mansion, Shangguan Meng's body has been well preserved, but General Gongsun has always been worried about it. Now the entire mansion is more heavily guarded, and the guards guarding Shangguan Meng at that time were also severely punished.

"Report to the emperor, the queen empress asks to see you."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Lian raised his eyes faintly, empress?If there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, what is the reason for this time.

After a while, the noble woman stepped in respectfully, with a sad expression on her face, "Concubine, see Your Majesty."

"Could it be that the empress came this time because of Shangguan Meng's affairs." To intercede for Shangguan Meng?She should know that she will not take back her golden mouth once it is released. Since it has been handed over to the Gongsun Mansion, she should not think about making any more troubles.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my concubine had a very bad nightmare last night. I dreamed that Meng'er came to see my concubine, saying that she was wronged, and asked my concubine to make decisions for her."

"Oh? It's just a dream, the queen must have made a fuss."

The queen lowered her eyes and said in a sad tone, "But I always feel uneasy in my heart, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to let my concubine see Meng'er. This child is weak, how can he stand up to the cold dungeon? If General Gongsun is not willing, he can You can ask the general to stand by, and the concubine just needs to ensure that Meng'er is safe."

Lian Guohuang just looked at the woman in front of him, and the other party earnestly asked for reasonableness, and he seemed to have no reason to refuse.It's just... Could it be that something happened to General Gongsun?Everyone knew that Shangguan Meng was just a pawn of the queen, how could she suddenly be so concerned about the other party's life and death, then there was only one possibility, Shangguan Meng must have been fatal.

If even General Gongsun's mansion is not safe, then the Queen does have some skills.

"Don't worry, the emperor, this matter is handed over to General Gongsun for investigation, and the concubine has no objection, but this heart is always up and down. Maybe Meng'er can tell the truth when the concubine is by her side. Doesn't your majesty want to soon Do you know the truth? Or...Your Majesty also doubts General Gongsun's ability to handle affairs?" The queen meant that Emperor Lian was protecting General Gongsun.

"If even General Gongsun can't believe it, then no one in my Lian Kingdom can believe it. Queen, go back and wait. I will order someone to announce him into the palace after a while."

Go back and wait?Your Majesty is trying to delay the time.Forget it, he was dead anyway, so she didn't believe that General Gongsun could conjure up a Shangguan Meng to explain to herself if he failed. "The concubine resigns."

And the other end.

"Shu'er?"

General Gongsun's voice came from outside, Yun Shu responded lightly, the door opened with a creak, and he saw the bottles and cans on the table at a glance.

"Shu'er, you are..."

"Shangguan Meng's blood sample may be able to discover the secrets of the Wu family."

General Gongsun frowned when he heard Shangguan Meng's name, and then sighed softly.Yun Shu guessed what he was thinking at a glance, "Father is not to blame for this matter. The Wu family's behavior is secretive and vicious. Presumably the elders of Wu's family were also afraid of father's strength, so they did not expect it. If the general's mansion was not heavily guarded, It’s not just a guard who is afraid of death.”

What Yun Shu meant was that with the Wu family's style, if they didn't pay attention to the general's mansion, batches of people would have died long ago, so how could they come and go so quickly.

"Shu'er is comforting father." General Gongsun said so, but he was no longer so entangled in his heart. His daughter can still speak. You must know that General Gongsun is very confident in the ability of his subordinates. One failure was like a slap on his face, which made him lose face in front of His Royal Highness and Yun Shu.

"However, the empress will not let go of Shangguan Meng's matter. Now that the man is dead, even if we know that the empress instigated it, there is no proof. It seems that it is time to find a way." Yun Shu thinks that the man died in the general's mansion Here, the responsibility cannot be shirked, if the queen wants to make use of the problem, it is really unavoidable, and she should think of a way to start well and end well.

"Hmph, everyone has been silenced, how dare she..."

At this time, the old butler came in from outside with a nervous expression on his face, "Master, miss, there are people coming from the palace."

After a while, the Grand Duke who was in front of the emperor appeared in front of them with an oral order. "General Gongsun, the emperor has ordered that General Xuan and Miss Shangguan enter the palace together, and His Majesty and Empress will personally interrogate them."

Blatantly so!General Gongsun subconsciously looked at Yun Shu, his daughter really knew everything well, but the queen was really so shameful, she killed her and now she still has the face to demand someone from their general's mansion!
General Gongsun frowned, he didn't know what to say at the moment, he knew that he would never tell his father-in-law that Shangguan Meng was dead, but everyone was dead, so why should he bring a headless corpse into the palace?
"Please ask my father-in-law to call back. Miss Shangguan is unconscious now. When she wakes up, we will definitely take her into the palace. Please take care of me." The dream is really a coma.

In fact, Yunshu has already heard the meaning of the father-in-law's words, it was His Majesty who announced them to enter the palace, but he did not mention today, presumably because he wanted to arrange a time for them, just find a reason to shirk.People are already in a coma, and they can't find anything if they are brought into the palace for interrogation. Naturally, they have to wait until they wake up before they can face the saint.

The father-in-law really smiled, "In that case, the miscellaneous family will go back to face the saint, and ask the general and miss to bring Shangguan Meng into the palace earlier."

"Congratulations to the father-in-law."

Seeing the leaving back, General Gongsun breathed a sigh of relief, "Shu'er, everyone is dead, who do we want to bring into the palace?"

Yun Shu thought for a while, "If it's a homicide, our General's Mansion will naturally have to bear the responsibility. If it's a suicide..."

General Gongsun immediately understood what she meant. There are thousands of ways to commit suicide in this world. If Shangguan Meng wants to die, no one can stop him.

"For my father, let's find a corpse that looks like her..." This kind of thing will not trouble General Gongsun, find a body that matches Shangguan Meng's age, and then destroy the appearance to replace it. They have a thousand ways It is possible to switch positions so that people can't find any mistakes or omissions.

Yun Shu nodded slightly, and besides, she still had Shangguan Meng's blood sample in her hand, so it was very easy to create a false impression.The so-called policies above have countermeasures, and the Queen must use this to embarrass them, and it must be more than this.

However, Yun Shu had already thought of a way to deal with it, which could catch the Queen by surprise.

"I wonder if father can find Shangguan Meng's pen and ink?" Liu Yunhua lived in Lianguo as Shangguan Meng, so I wonder if she has changed her original handwriting.

"It's a simple matter. For my father, I will order someone to search for it."

In the early morning of the next day, an exclamation came from Gongsun's residence, "It's not good, Shangguan Meng committed suicide..."

The news spread like wildfire, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the face of the queen who was already waiting in the palace.Unexpectedly, they actually resorted to such a stupid method, presumably they found a substitute, right?I really overestimated them, Shangguan Meng was a poison cultivated by the elders, and it would not be so easy to find someone to replace them.

This General Gongsun is really too arrogant. Once he brings counterfeit goods into the palace, it is tantamount to committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.Forget it, there is no reason why he should not accept the prey that came to his door.

The queen seems to have met the imminent catastrophe in General Gongsun's mansion, and she is very happy.
