As he spoke, he helped Li Qingcha open the door.

The two entered the hall together.

Zhonghe Hall was usually used by the emperor for temporary rest. He would occasionally meet with court officials and handle government affairs here.

The emperor did not change back into his regular clothes. When he saw Li Qingcha coming in, he nodded.

"Come forward, no need to salute."

"Yes."

Li Qingcha stepped forward.

The emperor said, "I asked you to come here this time because I want to talk to you about the demon tribe. I am going to send you there."

Li Qingcha:  ̄□ ̄||

What are you afraid of?

She said: "If I were to deliver the letter, I'm afraid there is someone more suitable than me."

The emperor was stunned.

"What do you mean by sending it to the country... Um... You don't think I want you to send the head of the demon spy and the letter of credence? How is that possible... This matter is so dangerous, I will not send anyone. At most, I will hand it over at the border and let the demon officials pass it on."

It seems that the emperor also knew that this job carried the risk of losing his head.

Li Qingcha was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, where do you want me to go?"

"Of course, we're going to Yanzhou."

"This……"

"You handled a major case of a demon clan spy in the capital, and you are strong enough against the demon clan. Moreover, you and Old Seven have led troops in Bozhou, and you are not like ordinary civil servants who have never seen bloodshed... Don't rush to deny it. I know how Gu She was destroyed."

Li Qingcha was not prepared to deny it.

She said: "Your Majesty, we have fought back and forth with the demon tribe on the border. Can't we find someone who has as many military achievements as He Xingfa?"

The emperor said: "Of course we can, but do you know what rank they are?"

"what?"

"Didn't you just mention the principle of equality? Asking Daxia's senior generals to fight with a guerrilla fighter from the demon tribe is like exchanging chariots, horses, and cannons for pawns in an elephant show."

Li Qingcha didn't expect that he had screwed himself.

Ugh……

I have to go on a business trip.

Thanks to Mengka for the generous reward.

When it comes to sending envoys, Li Qingcha is definitely not the best candidate.

This boy is too tough...

But if it comes to dealing with He Xingfa, Li Qingcha must be a good sword that has been sharpened and can definitely make him vomit blood.

The emperor said, "Mr. Li, after much thought, I think you are the most suitable."

Li Qingcha bowed,

"I accept your order."

"Well, when we go to Yanzhou, we must promote the prestige of our Great Xia nation."

"..."

This may be a bit difficult.

He Xingfa was the main general in the Battle of Yanzhou. It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to deal with him.

Moreover, the contents of the demon clan's national book were unclear. We only knew that He Xingfa brought a group of wolf demon soldiers, but we didn't know exactly how many there were.

If a large army were to station itself on the border, things would be very difficult to handle.

There is a term called "under siege".

The peace talks do not affect the military confrontation between the warring parties.

Li Qingcha was a little scratching his head.

"Uh...yes."

When the emperor saw Li Qingcha's reaction, he knew that he was going to steal his salary and fool around again like he did in the Daoluo Division, but he had no way to deal with Li Qingcha.

He said: "You are fully responsible for this matter, I will not ask any more questions."

Li Qingcha bowed,

"Then, I will take my leave first?"

"Wait a minute."

The emperor called Li Qingcha to stop.

"I have one more thing to ask you, it's about the White Bone Case."

Li Qingcha was stunned.

She was extremely cautious, stood up straight, and waited quietly for the other party's next words.

The emperor seemed to be still undecided.

a long time,

"Who do you think did this?"

Li Qingcha: “…”

She didn't dare to say anything, so she could only pretend to be confused.

"Your Majesty, Chen Wujiu committed suicide. After much thought, I think only 'committing suicide out of fear of punishment' can explain his behavior. I think he must have been the one who left the bones."

The emperor raised his head and glanced at Li Qingcha.

"Humph!"

"..."

"..."

An eerie silence.

There was silence for a while, and then the emperor spoke again.

"I guess you already know the true identity of the skeleton. If that's the case, there's no need to deceive yourself. You might as well speak frankly. This matter is indeed related to Chen Wujiu."

Li Qingcha did not respond.

Since the emperor was ready to speak, she had to listen even if she didn't want to.

The emperor continued, "Four and a half years ago during the Spring Festival, if I remember correctly, it should be the second day of the Lunar New Year. The deceased was beaten to death in Yongshou Palace. People cannot die in obscurity. At least a coroner or doctor needs to issue a document, and it was Chen Wujiu who did it."

Li Qingcha nodded.

Chen Wujiu was indeed used as a pawn.

This guy must think that this time is no different from the one four and a half years ago. Isn't it just helping to produce a document?

Anyway, the Queen Mother is protecting me.

Unexpectedly, this brought him fatal disaster.

The emperor said, "Li Qingcha, if you were to investigate this matter thoroughly, where would you start?"

Li Qingcha understood.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

The emperor needs the truth, but this truth must be in his own hands and cannot be known by the outside court.

This can also be considered a means to prevent power from getting out of control.

Li Qingcha said: "If I were to investigate this matter thoroughly, I would probably define the scope first. After all, the white bone case is most likely a frame-up of Concubine Lin, and the person behind it should have some power in the harem."

The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously.

He must have had a list of suspects in his mind.

"continue."

"After defining the scope, I will thoroughly investigate who sent the message to Chen Wujiu."

"how to say?"

"The emperor's stone-throwing tactic was used to trick out the portrait, and the woman in the portrait was from the Xianfu Palace. This was the clue."

The emperor nodded slowly, his eyes twinkling.

The solution provided by Li Qingcha was similar to what he thought.

He said slowly: "Well, I have already made a decision about this matter."

The implication was that Li Qingcha should stop asking questions.

Li Qingcha shut up at the right time.

The emperor's mouth curled up.

"After all, this is my family affair, and you are the one who is implicated. You are clearly doing my job, but some people in the palace hold a grudge against you. This is really an unprovoked disaster."

He sighed,

"Forget it, you go first. We must pay attention to the ones in Yanzhou."

"My minister retire."

Li Qingcha walked backwards out of the Zhonghe Hall.

She believed that the Imperial City was the emperor's territory after all.

The Queen Mother, the Empress, the Consort De...

No matter who it is, no matter how powerful he is, he is not greater than the emperor. Therefore, when the emperor finds out about this matter, he may not necessarily deal with it in a high-profile manner, but he will definitely have some thoughts in his mind.

Whether it is the crown prince or the second prince, one of them will become alienated from the emperor and gradually become estranged in the future.

It seems that someone is about to withdraw from the competition for the throne.

Li Qingcha looked back at the direction of Zhonghe Palace again, and after hesitating for a while, he did not choose to leave the palace, but walked towards the direction of Weiyang Palace.

The little palace maid welcomed her into the palace.

Sirou didn't go to class today.

It was almost noon, and the room was a little stuffy.

The girl was a little lazy, not caring about her manners. She sat in front of the mirror with her eyes a little hazy. She lay there like a cat, half resting her head on her arms, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Charming and charming,

Emmm...

It must be very popular with men.

Of course, women like Li Qingcha can't escape either.

Just then, she heard Li Qingcha entering the hall. A hint of joy flashed across her eyes. She stretched and walked out of the room.

Li Qingcha was looking at a calligraphy piece Sirou had recently written.

She looked up.

"Hey~ Who is this? Why would he write 'To carry on the lost knowledge of the ancient sages and to bring peace to the world for all eternity'?"

Arrogant guy!

Sirou rolled her eyes at him.
