Chapter 166

In the following days, in order to prevent Long Tianche from worrying about him and to concentrate on investigating the case of Concubine De's murder, Qian Mantian worked hard to cheer himself up and get out of the sadness.

Accompanied and comforted by Long Tianche, Qian Mantian finally came out from the shadow of Concubine De's death, and became that cheerful and optimistic money-grubbing girl again, running around the palace shopping mall every day to keep herself busy, so that Don't think about sad things anymore.

Long Tianche was still investigating Concubine De's death, but after a few days there was no result, because there was no way to start, it seemed that except Concubine Hui had something to do with this matter, no one else was suspected at all.

Long Tianche put his hands behind his back, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I see the emperor." Long Yucai's voice came.

Long Tianche turned around, looked at Long Yucai who was saluting respectfully, and said indifferently: "The emperor's uncle is free. Is the emperor's uncle going to the palace at this time?" Long Tianche was a little surprised by Long Yucai's sudden visit.

Long Yucai looked at Long Tianche with a foolish expression, and said, "I mean the emperor's nephew! Don't say that uncle sees money and cares about it, but you... are you a little too forgetful? Come on, your queen." You were injured this time, and you asked your minister to help you act as an agent of the government. This... No matter how you say it, you have to give some hard work to comfort and comfort! Although my uncle is not ashamed to speak, why don’t you mention it! After so many days, it will delay uncle’s earning a lot of money Yes!"

After Long Tianche heard Long Yucai's words, he felt a large flock of crows flying by, quacking non-stop.But he didn't bother to talk to him, and said perfunctorily: "I'm busy these days, I forgot, and I will send someone to send it to the emperor later. Uncle emperor, just put your heart in your stomach!" He really convinced this uncle, the palace With so many things happening in the past, not only did he, as an uncle, not help him share his worries, but instead came to collect debts at this time, he really took advantage of the fire!

Long Yu nodded in satisfaction: "That's good! By the way, the emperor said he was very busy, so he was busy investigating the death of Concubine De! But is there any progress?" Long Yu said that it was none of his business , casually asked in a casual tone.

Long Tianche rolled his eyes at him and said coldly: "Ask knowingly."

Long Yu shrugged needlessly, and said casually: "Since this is the case, let's investigate carefully! But... As a bystander, Uncle Huang, I still want to remind you by the way that Concubine Hui will never be the murderer."

"Why did the emperor say that?" Long Tianche asked calmly.He has always known that this uncle is definitely not as loose and incompetent as he appears on the outside. In fact, he is deeply hidden. It's just that he doesn't like government affairs, so he hides his edge.

Long Yu tidied up her clothes and continued to say with a careless face: "Who would use such an obvious method to harm someone? Unless it is because of wanting to die, but even so, you should always think about your family! Concubine Hui is a big family Hundreds of people! Even if she wanted to die, she couldn’t drag her family members to make amends together! Poisoning the queen and killing the noble concubine is a serious crime that affects the entire family! If it was her, why would she take the risk of delivering the poison herself? "Long Yucai looked at Long Tianche with a puzzled expression.

Long Tianche rolled his eyes at him angrily and said: "Then according to the emperor, who else is suspected except Concubine Hui, don't forget the relationship between Concubine Hui and King Ming." Long Tianche said.

Long Yu shrugged disapprovingly: "Perhaps this is the cleverness of the murderer. Otherwise, there are so many people in the harem, why did Concubine Hui choose to be the scapegoat! As for who the murderer is, Uncle Huang dare not jump to conclusions, because even the emperor The evidence has not yet been found, so the emperor's uncle guesses arbitrarily, isn't it just talking about harming others? But... the emperor wants the emperor to have his own opinion."

"Who?" Long Tianche asked with a vigilant face, is there anyone else that he didn't suspect?
"The woman named Mochou in Lanxiangyuan." Long Yucai said bluntly.

"What?" Long Tianche was shocked: "Could it be that the emperor suspects Mo Chou? How can she be connected with this matter?" Long Tianche looked disbelieving.No, it's because he didn't dare to think about it on her. He didn't believe it. If it was really her, he really didn't know how he should face it?

Long Yu shook his head: "This is not a suspicion, but a reminder. Everyone in the harem is suspicious, isn't it?"

"Mo Chou does not belong to the harem." Long Tianche explained.

Long Yu smiled inscrutablely: "Your Majesty, don't forget her identity and the past between her and the Emperor. If she is not counted as a member of the harem, then Concubine Hui can also be counted. After all...she has never loved Since he passed the emperor, there is no suspicion of competing for favor, so it is impossible to harm the empress and concubine De."

Long Tianche argued disapprovingly: "Uncle Huang can't suspect Mochou just because she is the daughter of a rebellious minister. How could the fault of the father implicate the daughter? How can Uncle Huang exclude her just because he knows Yi'er well?" What about the suspicion! It is because he has never loved the emperor, and she has something to do with King Ming, that is the biggest suspicion. Disturb my harem and create enough opportunities and time for brother Minghuang." Long Tianche said firmly.

Long Yu insisted on her own opinion: "It's not because I knew Concubine Hui since I was a child that I offended her, because she is really not that kind of woman."

"Everything must be based on evidence, and I never believe that Mo Chou would do this. She doesn't know martial arts. She had evidence that she was no longer there. She was in the queen's bedroom, and the queen can testify." Long Tianche said .

Long Yucai asked back: "Then do you really think you know her well? You and Concubine Hui have known each other since childhood, but you still don't know what she thinks. You and that Mochou have only met a few times and spent a while together. Knowing that she does not know martial arts, how can you be sure that this is not her deliberate arrangement? As the saying goes: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! Maybe...she will follow in the footsteps of her father! Besides love, she has hatred with you? Enmity can be forgotten, but jealousy caused by love is the most terrifying hidden weapon in the harem." Long Yucai said with emotion.As a member of the royal family, he understands the insidiousness and horror of the harem.The more favored a person is, the more dangerous he is.

"That's because the emperor's uncle has a prejudice against Mo Chou. It's true that her father is a traitor, but she will never be a vicious person, and she will never be a jealous woman. She told me personally that she likes Empress, accept the empress." Long Tianche didn't dare to let himself doubt Mo Chou, she was such a beautiful woman in his heart, even if he has no love now, he can't doubt her because of it!If she knew, she would be very sad.He believed that the woman he once loved was by no means a vicious person.

Long Yu smiled faintly: "This is just a reminder from the uncle of the emperor, and it cannot be used as evidence for investigation. The emperor will not listen to it, but for Concubine Hui, I hope the emperor can see clearly and don't wrong her." Although he is a few years older than them , but he often played around together when he was young, and he believed in Concubine Hui [-]%.He hoped that Long Tianche could find out the person who poisoned Qian Mantian as soon as possible, so that he could help her eliminate the danger, and he would not have to worry about her all the time.As an uncle, he can't care too much about her niece, otherwise people will gossip, but for her, if he doesn't find out the murderer, he can't rest assured. These days, he has been sending his personal bodyguard Qingfeng , secretly protecting her.You can ignore your own safety, but you can't ignore her safety.

"The emperor still wants to make money, so I won't bother the emperor's nephew to investigate the case. Let's go." Long Yu walked away carelessly.

Looking at the back of Long Yucai leaving, Long Tianche sighed secretly, and murmured in his heart: I know you care about the queen. When you enter the palace today, asking for debts is an excuse, and the result of wanting to investigate the case is the truth, because one day If you can't find out the murderer, you won't feel at ease about the Queen's safety for a day.I can understand that you doubt Mo Chou because of the Empress, but how can I doubt Mo Chou?But Mochou, are you really worthy of my trust?I hope you don't let me down.

As for Concubine Hui, I certainly know that she is wronged, and I also know that she is innocent.But through the matter of Concubine De, before the murderer is found out, I can't show my trust in her. Beating her into the cold palace is just a cover-up, just to let the real murderer relax her vigilance so that she will stop killing innocent people Concubine Hui, do you understand?Although the quiet palace is cold, it's better than losing your life!We have known each other since childhood, and in my heart, you are like a younger sister. I really don't want you to be in danger again, so... I can only wrong you for the time being.

"Your majesty, the last general!" When Long Tianche was in a daze, General Xiao hurried in and knelt down to salute.

"Xiao Aiqing is not polite. How is the investigation going?" Long Tianche slightly raised his hand, walked to the dragon case and sat down.The investigation of the poisoning of the empress and the murder of the concubine De have been handed over to General Xiao by Long Tianche.

"Back to the emperor! The general has not been found yet, but the general has another matter to report to the emperor." General Xiao said with a serious face.

"What's the matter?" Long Tianche asked calmly.Recently, things have always happened one after another. At this time, he must keep himself calm.

"Back to the emperor! There is a lot of fake money on the market." General Xiao truthfully reported the news he got to Long Tianche.

"Fake money? The specific situation?" Intuition told Long Tianche that someone was about to act.

"The general speculates that someone exchanged fake money for real money. They want to hoard money, and their intentions are not right, and they want to disturb the hearts of the people and cause chaos among the people." General Xiao said his guess.

Long Tianche nodded in agreement: "Then who did it?"

General Xiao clasped his fists and blamed himself, "Your Majesty forgive me, but the final general has not been found out yet."

Long Tianche waved his hand: "Aiqing, don't blame yourself. I have ordered all the counties to investigate this matter strictly. We must not let a suspicious person go, and we must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and we must severely punish the behind-the-scenes instigators." By."

"Yes! The last general takes orders." General Xiao said forcefully.

"Okay! Xiao Aiqing, let's get busy!"

"Yes!" General Xiao led the order to retreat.

A cold light flashed in Long Tianche's eyes.

"Haha, that's great, today I got a lot of money from the emperor again, hahaha..." In Fengning Palace, Qian Mantian's laughter could be heard from a distance.
