The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 329 What happened back then! (three)
When I stepped out of the Chaoyang Palace, the sky was already dark. Looking up, the sky was like a big black net, swallowing up all the brilliance of the day, even the moonlight was so thin, shedding a little light in the gloom.

Nie Feng led the way with a lantern, Chu Yunhe moved forward hesitantly, the mottled tree shadows were reflected on the snow-white brocade shirt, leaving clusters of black shadows, his gloomy eyes stared at the bluestone slab under his feet, his lips Pressing her lips together tightly, there is ice-breaking cold in her eyes, and even her whole body exudes a frightening haze!
Nie Xuan followed behind, walking cautiously, guessing what was on his master's mind, and at the same time not forgetting to prick up his ears to listen vigilantly to the movement around him.

"Go to the lotus pond."

A cold voice wafted into his ears, Nie Feng was startled, he stopped and turned his head, wondering: "Master, it's getting late..."

"Go home later!" Chu Yunhe dropped his words indifferently, passed Nie Feng and walked forward, turned out of the tree-lined road after a few steps, and headed towards Lenggong.

There are countless lotus ponds in the palace, but there is only one special place where the master can move - the place where the empress was killed!
Nie Feng and Nie Xuan were stunned for a while, and hurriedly followed, not daring to say anything, but silently followed, accompanying Chu Yunhe on the way.

At this time, the season of lotus blooming has already passed, and in the dark night, there is a scene of frustration. There is no lotus blooming that day, and there is no reed taller than a person. It is just a cool place, standing here, Looking at the ice on the lake surface, under the thin moonlight, reflecting the transparent cold air, stepping on the frozen ground under his feet, Chu Yunhe slowly squatted down, turned his back to Nie Feng and Nie Xuan, and shed hot tears.

Caotou... Concubine Xuan, it turns out that it is really... Concubine Xuan!
What surged in his heart was bone-biting hatred, what was recalled in his mind, and what appeared in front of his eyes were all that scene, even thinking about it until now, the scene that made his heart shattered, when he closed his eyes, it seemed that the long-lost song sounded in his ears again. With a cordial smile, "He'er, don't be so naughty anymore, I'll punish you for wearing hairpin flowers for my concubine today..."

Concubine mother, concubine mother... I think so much, I want to wear hairpins for you again, you said that the ones worn by my ministers look better than those worn by court ladies...

"Master, Director Lu is coming this way!"

Nie Feng's voice sounded behind him, Chu Yunhe raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his long eyelashes, stood up and looked back, and saw Lu Kaiming coming in a hurry, his expression tightened, and he stepped forward a few steps, before Lu Kaiming was about to kneel down and salute Stopped, "Excuse me! What do you want to see this king?"

"Eighth Prince, this servant suddenly remembered something, it's just speculation, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Lu Kaiming cupped his hands and said.

Chu Yunhe was startled, and immediately said: "Is there anything you can't say? Say it quickly!"

"Yes. When I sent Concubine Xuan's files to Qin Tianjian just now, I suddenly thought of someone, and that is Xiao Chuzi! Xiao Chuzi's surname is Duan, and she and Concubine Xuan are probably mother and daughter. The assassin took her away back then. , that assassin and Concubine Xuan are familiar, she must be raised by that assassin, and Concubine Xuan’s file is Wang’s name, the emperor’s surname is Chu, why Xiao Chuzi’s surname is Duan? Assuming that Xiao Chuzi is really the tenth princess, she was really raised by an assassin Yes, that Xiao Chuzi is the adoptive daughter of Feng Nantian, the chief rudder in Tianying Society, after some reasoning, the assassin becomes Feng Nantian, and that has nothing to do with Duan's surname, how did Xiao Chuzi get his surname?" Lu Kaiming Speaking of this, there was a pause, Chu Yunhe nodded to signal him to continue, and he said again: "This servant has been thinking about people with the surname Duan, and then suddenly thought of a person, that is Yingzong's 11th year, Xingbu Report a major case to the emperor, the mastermind of the case is Duan Ziyao!"

"Duan Ziyao? Who is that?" Chu Yunhe froze and asked with a frown.

Lu Kaiming said: "Duan Ziyao is a native of Nanwu County, Guangping Prefecture. The local gentry has outstanding talents, but he claims to be noble and dissatisfied with the local rule. He once had a drink with his friends in a restaurant and talked nonsense when he was drunk. , wrote a ten-foot-long denunciation letter on the spot, in which he lashed out at the emperor, insulted and belittled, the magistrate of Nanwu County immediately led his troops to arrest him and put him in prison. The Nanwu county magistrate was asked to release them. In a rage, the county magistrate ordered people to arrest thirteen members of Duan's family, and wrote a letter overnight on the charge of Duan Ziyao's intention to rebel, and sent someone to send the letter of condemnation to the capital. Your Majesty, His Majesty Longyan was furious, and issued an imperial edict ordering the magistrate of Nanwu County to escort Duan Ziyao and his family to Beijing. The county magistrate also reported that when Duan's family was raided, a book was copied out. Duan Ziyao still had a daughter who was not included in the copying. When he was only five years old, he was taken away by a group of people from Fang Jianghu to study art, and the Duan family moved to Nanwu County only three years later, therefore, one person was missed!"

"The emperor was furious, and ordered Xingbu to issue a document to arrest Duan Xue'er, but there was no result. Concubine Xuan entered the palace after a draft in the following year, the 12th year of Emperor Yingzong, and was born in Lizhou, Jiangnan. It was selected under the name of Queen Xuan of the royal family, Xuan and Xue have the same pronunciation, and the assassin also called Concubine Xuan as Xueer, so is Concubine Xuan just Duan Xueer?"

Hearing this, the doubts in Chu Yunhe's heart were suddenly resolved, and excitement flashed in his eyes, "Lu Kaiming, are you sure? If what you said is true, then it is very likely to be so. If so, Concubine Xuan There is a motive and a reason for why she poisoned and murdered her father, and she wants to avenge the thirteen members of the Duan family!"

"My lord, this matter is absolutely true. The Xing Department keeps the files of every case, especially for a big case like the Duan family. The bottom of each trial file will be kept. The lord will go to the Xing Department tomorrow to retrieve the files and check them." The reason why I remember this case clearly is because I was just transferred to the emperor's side at that time, and I remember everything carefully, and this case is extremely special. It is still impressive!" Lu Kaiming said affirmatively.

"You don't have to wait until tomorrow, Lu Kaiming, you and Nie Feng take the jade pendant of this king, and go to Xingbu now, and the king returns to Chaoyang Hall to wait." Chu Yunhe took off the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Lu Kaiming, His face was serious.

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Lu Kaiming and Nie Feng cupped their hands together and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

The night wind blew, and the hair fluttered in a mess. Chu Yunhe's face was tense, his lines were as sharp as a knife, and it was cold and cold. He stood with his hands behind his back for a while, and then walked towards the Chaoyang Palace.

What is right and wrong about all this?

And how innocent is his mother and concubine?To die in vain like this...

This period of grievances has continued to this day, and it has developed into a disaster for the people of the world. The struggle between the country and the mountains will never stop, the flames of war are everywhere, and the corpses are everywhere. Only the north of the capital is only temporarily safe...

........................

Eight Princes Mansion.

Lying in front of the window, looking out time and time again, Duan Jinchu felt drowsy, but still stubbornly refused to go to bed first, in order to resist the sleepiness, he rubbed his eyes and called out: "Xinlanyiren, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll make a cup of tea!"

"Ma'am, you are too polite! I don't dare to be servants!" Xin Lan stepped forward and said with a hint of fear.

Duan Jinchu frowned, "Oh, I've told you many times, don't be so humble to me, I used to call you sister!"

"It's different today. Now you are the wife of the master, and the position of princess is also the wife. How dare the servants be as presumptuous as before?" Yi Ren followed Fushen and replied.

"Oh my god, you two are so old-fashioned! You can just treat me as the little first child from before. Look at the two sisters, Jin'er and Huier, they are more open than you!" Duan Jinchu broke down and hugged his head , sighed speechlessly.

Hearing this, Xinlan and Yiren didn't know what to do. When they were struggling, Jin'er walked in and said with a smile: "Ma'am, they didn't know you were a girl before, so this is...hehe, I will get used to it after a while." That's it!"

"Yes, ma'am, let the servants get used to it for a while!" The Xinlanyi nodded immediately.

"Okay, get me some tea first." Duan Jinchu sat back on the chair, leaned on his back and rubbed his temples, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "I don't want tea, I want a bowl of jujube porridge! "Drinking tea is not good for children, why did she forget it?
"Yes, ma'am!"

The door opened and closed again, Duan Jinchu leaned on his back, feeling a little drowsy, Jin'er went to make the bed, Hui'er saw this, and couldn't bear to say: "Madam, you should go to bed first, the master will call you when the servant comes back. How are you?"

"Hmm..." After murmuring in a daze, Duan Jinchu suddenly woke up again, patted his head twice to force himself to wake up, and said: "No need, I'll just wait here for my husband, he will probably be back soon !"

"Madam..." Hui'er had no choice but to frown and turned back to pour a glass of white water, "Madam, why don't you drink some water first, do you want to eat some fruit? Can I peel an apple for you?"

"Well, okay." Duan Jinchu took the water glass and took a sip lightly. Just as the second sip was in his mouth, Xiao Shuanzi's joyful greeting came from the outside, "The servant welcomes the master back home!"

"Cough...cough..."

Being choked, Duan Jinchu coughed violently, the horrified Jin'er and Hui'er rushed over to give her a quilt and a brocade handkerchief, extremely nervous!

Chu Yunhe stepped in a few steps from the outside, frowned and scolded: "What's going on?"

Jin'er Huier knelt down in shock, "Return to master, slave..."

"It's none of their business!" Duan Jinchu waved his hand, gasped and said, "I blame myself for choking on water, don't be angry with them!"

"Okay, I want to take a bath, let's go get ready." Chu Yunhe's expression softened a little, but his tone was still somewhat displeased.

"Yes, master!" The two maids replied timidly, bowed and retreated to the outside room.

Chu Yunhe stretched out his hand to hold Duan Jinchu, frowned and said, "The wind is blowing in front of the window, why are you sitting here? What if you catch a cold?"
