The Imperial Palace of Wu Dynasty launched an unprecedented purge campaign.

From the Yongle Palace of Emperor Wu to the Yeting where the palace maids lived, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Guard were all present.

"This is the queen's palace, how dare you break in without permission?"

Ginkgo stood at the door of the Queen's Jiaofang Palace, stopping the eunuchs and imperial guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who wanted to break in.

"Aunt Ginkgo, we can't blame the young ones for being abrupt. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the three palaces and six courtyards in the harem must strictly investigate the assassin's whereabouts. I also ask Aunt Ginkgo to be accommodating and not make things difficult for the young ones."

When Li Yunxing was mentioned, Ginkgo felt dissatisfied.

He had been so cruel to King Zhaoyang, and now he had found his way to them again.

"Our palace is full of maids and eunuchs. We don't have the assassin you are looking for. Get out of here!"

Ginkgo stretched out her hand and was about to close the palace door, but unexpectedly she was stopped by the imperial guards.

Today, they witnessed with their own eyes the tragic situation in Zhenmaochang. They said it was twenty big boards, but in fact, they were extremely heavy-handed, and half of their lives were wasted even if they were not dead.

Exiled to the frontier, I'm afraid I'll die if I don't even make it through the middle.

They don't want to be like Zhen Maochang, so they must find out the truth today.

"Miss Ginkgo, our Imperial Guard is different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We will discuss it carefully with you. If the Imperial Guard wants to investigate, no one can stop it!"

Ginkgo's eyes suddenly widened, "The queen's palace is a women's boudoir, how can you allow a vulgar warrior like you to run wild here?"

The armored captain of the guard frowned: "So you are not going to cooperate?"

Ginkgo sneered: "What? You have all become the prince's lackeys, and you can even ignore the queen?"

The Praetorian Guards had no intention of engaging in too many verbal disputes with her.

After all, there are thousands of rooms in these three palaces and six courtyards that need to be checked one by one.

If they keep spending time with this yellow-haired girl, they will only waste their own time.

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

The Imperial Guards pushed Ginkgo to one side, and more than ten Imperial Guards rushed in from both sides of the door and lined up in the corridors on the left and right sides of Jiaofang Hall.

Many maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they screamed.

The leading imperial guard also marched directly into Jiaofang Hall. No matter how Gingko cursed, they turned a deaf ear.

The movement in the front yard disturbed the queen.

The queen wore a phoenix robe and was supported by several personal nuns to the front hall.

After seeing the situation clearly, her eyebrows suddenly stood up, and she was furious: "It's the opposite! I'm not dead yet! How dare these people attack my palace! Do you really think that I am a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others?"

"I am very sorry for disturbing the queen. But this is not what I mean, but the prince's order..."

"Pah——"

Before the captain of the imperial army could finish speaking, the queen raised her hand and slapped him.

"The prince asks you to search, and you will obey the order. Are all your imperial troops under the control of the prince? I am the master of the harem, who is the prince?"

The Imperial Guard felt his face burning, but he did not dare to refute.

He could only lower his head and continue, "Today, the imperial doctor ordered Xia, the imperial physician, to poison the prince. On the way to the prison, he was assassinated. None of the six members of the escort team survived. This matter is related to the safety of the entire harem.

, please also ask the queen to take a closer look!"

The queen was shocked: "The imperial doctor's order? Poison?"

The captain of the Imperial Guard nodded: "Yes, Imperial Doctor Xia was killed on the way to Tianlao. According to the Crown Prince's inference, the murderer was most likely hiding in the harem, so he sent a low-ranking official to lead the Imperial Army in the search. Because Aunt Ginkgo had been blocking her, she was able to

I made the decision to break in by force, I hope you will forgive me!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruxu was shocked.

This was different from the strategy she discussed with Xia Jueming. Her original plan was to poison the prince on his birthday. Why did Xia Jueming suddenly act privately?

Could it be that his father was causing trouble?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruxu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She slowly raised her head, stared at the captain of the Imperial Guard with sharp eyes, and asked word for word: "Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops to search? Or do you think the murderer is in the Jiaofang Hall of this palace?!"

The queen's face darkened.

She has been weak and mentally weak recently. She finally slept for a while and was woken up by the guards. Now she is even more angry.

"I am very curious, who ordered you to search me?"

The Praetorian Guard's scalp was numb.

He was very familiar with the Queen's temperament. If he gave the wrong answer and offended the Queen, he might be in trouble!

"I ordered it." Li Yunxing's voice sounded at the right time.

Liu Ruxu was slightly startled, and when she saw Li Yunxing striding over, her face became more serious than ever before.

"The Empress, someone is causing trouble in the palace. I am conducting a thorough investigation of the harem for the safety of the Emperor and all the empresses. I believe the Empress will not stop it, right?"

She took a deep breath.

"But entering and exiting the Jiaofang Palace at will would not violate the rules of the harem. This has no precedent even in front of the emperor!"

"Rules are dead, people are alive." Li Yunxing said, "As long as the Queen is willing to cooperate, the process of searching the harem will naturally not be affected in the slightest."

Li Yunxing smiled faintly, but his attitude was particularly insistent.

Liu Ruxu pursed her lips and clenched her fists quietly.

Li Yunxing's persistence in pursuing the case may have confirmed that Xia Jueming did indeed die in the harem.

If she refuses the search, she will inevitably go before the emperor, and she will definitely become the target of public criticism.

"Empress, I am not patient enough." Li Yunxing spoke calmly, but his words were full of threats.

"In that case, let's search!" Liu Ruxu said indifferently, turning around, "But I will say the ugly things first. The prince's move is against ethics. Once the emperor finds out, he will be furious."

Li Yunxing curled his lips and smiled, "The Empress does not need to worry about my affairs."

Then, the captain of the imperial army next to him waved to the imperial guard behind him.

In an instant, dozens of imperial guards rushed up and ran rampant in the huge Jiaofang Hall, searching every corner where people could hide.

However, there was still no harvest.

"Why is there no one? Isn't that assassin hiding in Jiaofang Palace at all?" Li Yunxing's eyebrows slightly condensed, as if he was talking to himself.

Liu Ruxu sneered and said mockingly: "Your Highness, you can't catch the assassin, so you want to come to Jiaofang Palace to deal with the problem?"

"You——" Li Yunxing's face darkened.

Liu Ruxu didn't bother to pay attention and left directly.

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes. He clearly received the news that after he injured Queen Zhaoyang, it was Xia Jueming who diagnosed and treated King Zhaoyang.

If he hadn't reached some kind of deal with the queen, how could he risk poisoning himself?

Damn it! Li Yunxing returned to the East Palace with a dark face and a group of guards.

At this time, the entire palace was under intense search, but unfortunately, there was still no result.
Chapter completed!
