"Let's go out for a walk!"

Ling Yu took Shui Ling around the palace. She has been away from the palace for more than a year and wants to see how the palace is now.

All the way, they were all in order, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace performed their duties.

Ling Yu inexplicably remembered the poisoning of Prince Cheng. At that time, even the old Marquis and Xiang Lu thought that Prince Cheng was old and weak, so he was on the verge of death.

If it weren't for the coincidence of returning to Xiqin by himself and Xiao Lintian, even if Prince Cheng died, no one would have suspected something was wrong.

So, could Madam Li die of poisoning?

Madam Li was taken to the palace to take care of Xiao Yue. If Madam Li was alive, would Xu Nianzhi still have the chance to get close to Xiao Yue like this?

Ling Yu shivered unconsciously as she thought about it. She shook her head, feeling that she was really petty.

She can’t look at Xu Nianzhi more and more dislike Xu Nianzhi just because Xu Nianzhi stole the opportunity to comb Xiao Yue’s hair!

But Ling Yu thought about it again, what if his suspicion was true?

Putting such a person next to Xiao Yue wouldn’t it be a time bomb for Xiao Yue?

The more Ling Yu thought about it, the more uneasy he became. To find out the real cause of Madam Li's death, she had to leave the palace. She casually ordered:

"Shui Ling, go and report to the emperor and say that I will go out to understand people's livelihood and will definitely come back before the palace banquet in the evening!"

Shui Ling took the order and left, and Ling Yu immediately returned to the palace and changed into men's clothes.

When Shui Ling came back, Ling Yu urged her to change into men's clothes, and the two of them left the palace.

"Empress, where do you want to start?"

Shui Ling asked.

"Go to Lu's mansion first!"

Xiao Lintian handed over the investigation of Prince Cheng's poisoning case to Lu Xiang, and Ling Yu felt that it was more convenient to investigate the case when he found Lu Xiang.

The two of them came to the prime minister's mansion. Shui Ling went forward to reveal his identity to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper quickly went in to report, but the one who came out to greet him was Lu Zhongze.

"Empress, why are you here? My father went to investigate the case and was not in the mansion!" Lu Zhongze explained.

Ling Yu thought about it, then turned to Shui Ling and said, "You go and buy some incense paper first, then pull a few feet of white cloth, a few feet of black cloth, and wait for us at the city gate after a stick of incense!"

Shui Ling was inexplicably surprised. What did Ling Yu want these things to do?

She couldn't figure it out, so she went to buy incense paper and cloth as Ling Yu told him.

Ling Yu said to Lu Zhongze: "Take a few trustworthy people, bring digging tools, prepare two carriages, and follow me!"

Lu Zhongze was also confused, but he thought that Ling Yu wanted to hire someone, so he must help.

He called a few confidants, brought tools, drove a carriage, and followed Ling Yu out of the city together.

The group came to the city gate and waited for a while, and then they saw Shui Ling running over with her bought things.

"Empress, where are we going?" Lu Zhongze asked in confusion.

Ling Yu looked at Shui Ling: "Shui Ling, lead the way and take us to the tomb of Madam Li!"

Shui Ling thought Ling Yu was going to take time to worship Madam Li, but she was not suspicious, so she pointed to the road and took the group to the mountain where Madam Li was buried.

Madam Li's grave was halfway up the mountain and she couldn't get on the carriage. The group moved their tools and walked up the mountain.

When Shui Ling saw the man in Lu Zhongze carrying a hoe, she smiled and said, "Is Empress trying to build a tomb for Madam Li? There's no need to do this!"

"The little prince asked Madam Li to repair the tomb on time. He said Madam Li treats him like his biological grandson. He must take good care of Madam Li's tomb so that Madam Li can live a stable life in the underworld!"

Ling Yu did not agree. What she wanted to do might make Xiao Yue angry, but she couldn't care. If she didn't verify the real cause of Madam Li's death, she wouldn't feel at ease when she returned to the divine realm.

When the group went up the mountain, they saw a tomb that was more magnificent than ordinary tombs.
