He was thinking who would go to such great lengths to kill Liu Cuilian.
What’s there to kill about Liu Cuilian?
Lu Bai believed that as long as he could determine the motive of the murder, the case would be almost half solved.
Liu Cuilian was an ordinary palace maid. Even if she gained the emperor's favor, she would just be thrown away like a piece of rags. She would die and no one would care.
People in the past wouldn't care, and Lu Bai and the others wouldn't care now.
However, the reason why anyone cares now is because the Supreme Emperor had an idea and threw the dragon spirit into her belly.
Liu Cuilian was pregnant, and then someone started to care.
In other words, this prince was the cause of Liu Cuilian's death.
If we take this as the starting point.
There is no doubt that the current Queen Mother is the biggest suspect, but Lu Bai knows that the Queen Mother does not need to take action at all.
This child was originally fostered in the name of the Queen Mother, and Liu Cuilian was not even qualified to raise it. Regardless of whether Liu Cuilian died or not, the Queen Mother would eventually be the Queen Mother.
So who will it be?
Who will be the biggest winner after Liu Cuilian's death?
Lu Bai was puzzled.
So much so that he was still thinking hard after returning home, but he could never find the source.
Gu Qinghuan couldn't care about him at the moment.
She is trying to get all walks of life to return to normal. Even if it cannot return to normal, the situation in the capital must be alleviated.
Bamboo Shadow Hall is amazing.
But no matter how powerful they are, they are not engaged in production.
Those merchants who burn charcoal, fishermen who catch fish, and herders who raise pigs, they all have to live after all.
The reason why these charcoal, pigs, and fish have not been sent to the capital now is because the middleman Zhuyingtang has cut off the connection between the capital and them.
As long as Gu Qinghuan connects these connections, Lu Bai's pressure will be much less.
However, with Gu Qinghuan's IQ, it is still okay to give Lu Bai some guidance when dealing with these matters.
When she went to the study room after dinner, she reminded Lu Bai, "Maybe you can change your mind."
The Emperor's sons are not too many but not too few, and his mother's sons are even more numerous from famous families.
If it weren't for the efforts of the Gu family behind the Queen Mother, and the incident in Shuobei City that made the Lu family reach a deal with the Gu family and push for the current emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to take the throne.
In this case, as an inconspicuous prince, how could he attract people's attention at a young age, so much so that someone wanted to kill his mother.
"There are many maidens in the palace who have children, why don't they see their sons dead?" Gu Qinghuan asked Lu Bai.
After that, Gu Qinghuan went to work in the study.
Lu Bai felt enlightened.
yes!
His previous thinking had put the cart before the horse.
He thought that the prince would become the emperor in the future, so someone killed his mother, but in fact no one knew that the child would become the emperor in the future, not even the Queen Mother.
Because this prince could become the emperor because of the drastic changes in Shuobei City and the rise of Yiqiu Villa.
In this case, what reason was there to kill Liu Cuilian at that time?
The Queen Mother no longer had any reason to kill Liu Cuilian.
Lu Bai suddenly remembered that when Liu Cuilian died, she was wearing a dress embroidered with a phoenix.
This dress was considered inappropriate in the palace.
Wearing this kind of clothes under the eyes of noble people is like a mouse that can't find the toilet under the eyes of a cat and doesn't know how to die.
Then again.
This outfit is not easy to dress.
I heard the fat eunuch consulted the files and said that the phoenix was embroidered on Liu Cuilian's original clothes. Could it be that Liu Cuilian embroidered it herself? But in any case, there must be some meaning for Liu Cuilian to wear this outfit before she died.
No matter how the clothes are put on, it indicates that her son will become the emperor.
So how could the person who put Liu Cuilian in this outfit be so sure that Liu Cuilian's son would become the emperor?
"wrong."
Lu Bai pondered and said, "I'm not sure, but I will try my best to facilitate it."
If Liu Cuilian put on these clothes herself.
This proves that Liu Cuilian deliberately lured the emperor to plant a dragon seed on her body, and then she thought extravagantly or fantasized that she wanted her son to be the emperor.
If Liu Cuilian didn't put on these clothes herself.
In Lu Bai's view, this man's unnecessary move was telling Liu Cuilian that he would try his best to help her son become emperor, and let her put on a phoenix robe before she rests in peace. Whether it's fun or enjoying the honor in advance, it's the same principle.
"So, who is trying hard to promote Liu Cuilian's son to become emperor?" Lu Bai tapped his fingers on the table.
He seemed to be walking through a maze, and the answer was at the end of the road, so he just had to choose carefully.
"Gu family?"
Lu Bai shook his head.
Again, there was no reason for the Gu family to kill Liu Cuilian.
Liu Cuilian has no roots and foundation. If the Gu family does not kill her and promote her son to the throne, the Queen Mother will still belong to the Gu family.
What's more, the Gu family didn't mean it at that time.
As for Yiqiu Villa, it is even more impossible.
"Inner study hall!"
Lu Bai sat up suddenly and thought of the answer that had never appeared in his guess, "Yes, it is the inner study hall."
The inner study hall was very important in the royal family.
It is almost the royal family's confidence to speak among the eight major sects.
If the Nei Shu Tang does not support an emperor, then this person will definitely not become the emperor.
If the inner study hall supports an emperor, even if he is very unpopular, this person is enough to become the emperor's popular choice.
Although the Nei Shu Tang has never been famous on the way to the throne of God, it must have exerted great efforts. It is just because of a series of changes brought about by Shuobei City that the Nei Shu Tang did not use much effort to hide it.
That's all.
Lu Bai clasped his hands together and fell into a maze again.
He didn't know who promised the benefits to Nei Shutang if Nei Shutang helped. Could it be that the person who poisoned Liu Cuilian had a very important position in Nei Shutang and had been planning the plan when the emperor was still a child?
Even if the inner study hall wanted to elect an emperor of its own, it would not kill Liu Cuilian.
In the final analysis, there is still one sentence: Why kill Liu Cuilian!
"Yes, why did you kill Liu Cuilian?"
Lu Bai didn't understand.
Liu Cuilian is not a stumbling block for anyone to push her son to become emperor, unless her existence hinders her son from ascending the throne.
"If Liu Cuilian can prevent her son from ascending to the throne——"
Lu Bai scratched his head anxiously, "How could Liu Cuilian not let his son become the emperor? As long as her son belongs to the Supreme Emperor, no matter whether the Gu family, the Lu family or the inner study hall wants him to be, her son will become the emperor. She is a palace maid.
What’s there to stumbling over? Unless—”
It's summer time.
Lu Bai shuddered, "Unless Liu Cuilian's son is not the son of the Supreme Emperor!"
As for whether he is the son of the Supreme Emperor, Liu Cuilian must know!
Lu Baimao suddenly became enlightened, as if he suddenly had diarrhea after being constipated for three days, his thoughts became more open and fast.
He stood up in shock and excitement, and walked around the room, "If Liu Cuilian is not pregnant with the emperor's child, then the fewer people who know the news, the better. And Liu Cuilian undoubtedly knows best about who the child is.
.”
By killing Liu Cuilian, this person was silencing her.
So, who would have known that this child was not the King's son, killed Liu Cuilian to silence him, and planned to help him ascend to the throne?
Only the biological father of Liu Cuilian’s son!
He killed Liu Cuilian so that no one would know the secret, and then made up his mind to push Liu Cuilian's son to the throne and usurp the country.
Due to the changes in Shuobei City, Lu Yiqiu's ascension and other matters were beyond human control, so the Lu family and the Gu family jointly promoted Liu Cuilian's son was not part of this person's plan.
His plan is probably to use the Gu family and then take the path of the inner study hall.
The aristocratic family has a relationship of checks and balances. With the inner study hall pushing behind, the Gu family can push Liu Cuilian's son to the throne - this person probably never thought that the ascension of the Sword Immortal would break the balance of the family, so that he would be the inner scholar.
Don't need to make this move.
In order to achieve the goal that this person had planned, first of all, the Queen of the Gu family, who is now the Queen Mother Gu, cannot have children; secondly, he has to penetrate into the inner study hall and gain enough voice to tilt the inner study hall towards Liu Cuilian's son.
.
The pregnancy of Liu Cuilian was not discovered in the deep palace compound.
This requires some skill.
Thinking again that this person still has to hang out in the inner study hall, his identity is about to be revealed.
——Eunuch!
A fake eunuch like Lao Ai.
Not only that, this eunuch has been active around the emperor.
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes: "Baihe Township, Eunuch Bai!"
Baihe Township!
Lu Bai then thought of a person from this name - Mrs. He.
