Empress Wu is Empress Wu. She can control a dynasty and the Tai Chi Palace.
But she couldn't control the man beside her. Empress Wu would never forget the way Li Zhi looked at her when the incident happened today.
It was unfamiliarity, suspicion, and...a hint of hostility.
The Queen and her mother are respected by the world, but in front of the Emperor, she is still as small as an ant.
For an ant like her, her man had easily crushed one before her.
Empress Wu did not want to be the second one. She must hold on to the position of empress. Once she lost it, she would die.
Sitting alone in the palace, Empress Wu composed herself, then walked out of the palace door and conveyed the order to move to Anren Palace.
Outside the gate of Anren Hall, Wang Changfu, Li Zhi's personal chamberlain, stood motionless in the corridor with his waist bent.
Seeing the Queen arriving, Wang Changfu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and saluted.
Empress Wu nodded calmly and walked towards the palace. Unexpectedly, Wang Changfu stopped at the door of the palace calmly.
Empress Wu frowned, her eyes getting colder.
Wang Changfu had sweat on his forehead, but he still tried his best to smile and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty said that I will not see anyone today because I am ill."
Empress Wu said coldly: "Are you missing me too?"
Wang Changfu's body trembled, but he still said bravely: "Your Majesty said... you don't see 'anyone', the queen forgives me."
Empress Wu was furious, and murderous intent suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"What if I must break into the palace?" Empress Wu stared at him and asked.
However, Wang Changfu quickly moved his body a few feet laterally, gave way to the palace door, and said with a smile: "If the Queen insists on seeing you, of course I will not dare to stop you. Queen, please come."
Empress Wu remained motionless, standing outside the palace door, staring intently at a glazed palace lantern inside the palace.
After an unknown period of time, Empress Wu suddenly turned around and ordered her to return to the palace.
The moment she turned around, a gust of breeze blew through the corridor. Empress Wu shivered inexplicably, and her eyes were full of panic before she knew it.
…………
The new house of the Li family.
After returning from interrogating the prisoners at Dali Temple, Li Qinzai did not go out again. He was busy visiting his new residence.
It was his own mansion, and he felt confident walking in any corner of the mansion. If he hadn't been too shameless, he would have wanted to strip naked and run naked like the madmen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
After shopping around, Li Qinzai felt very satisfied. The only shortcoming was that many electrical appliances that facilitate life were not available, such as air conditioners and televisions.
It is basically impossible to invent these electrical appliances. In his previous life, he was a graduate produced by an assembly line. Li Qinzai has not yet reached this level. If ordinary graduates can do it, he may not be able to do it. If ordinary graduates cannot, he will definitely not be able to do it.
Won't.
There was a new atmosphere everywhere in the new house. Li Qinzai squatted by the rockery in the backyard, hesitating whether to bring Cui Jie and Qiao'er to live in Chang'an for a while.
He is only in his early twenties, which is the age when he is in full swing. Is it reasonable for him to want a mother-in-law at such an age?
After thinking about it, if you still have some courage left, you might as well change your attitude and think about Teacher Mikami, and... the Lord of Jinxiang County who is temporarily living in his new house.
Thinking of the head of Jinxiang County, Li Qinzai felt a little helpless. She actually moved in. This girl might not be able to distinguish between truth and polite words...
Butler Wu hurried from the front yard to report that Song Sen was here.
Song Sen appeared in front of Li Qinzai with a tired look on his face and dark circles under his eyes, like a scum who had just finished being absorbed by Ren Woxing's star-absorbing technique.
Li Qinzai looked at him and said, "Although I don't know what Manager Song did last night, the dark circles under your eyes are full of stories."
Song Sen smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoguan has been busy all night, and everyone in Baiqisi is checking the background of Guo and Fan."
"What did you find?"
Song Sen sighed: "If nothing else, Fan Yunxian has a lot of grievances in the Taiji Palace. He used his status as the queen's chamberlain to bully the palace people. Guo Xingzhen is not an easy man. In the past, he was domineering when entering and leaving the palace, and he was also criticized by many.
The palace people secretly criticized him."
"If Li County Bo wants to find out from them the mastermind who framed them, he may have to wait for a while for Baiqisi to investigate them one by one."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "No, His Majesty's violent temper cannot wait. If you wait one more day, countless palace people will die."
Song Sen said helplessly: "Then what should we do? This problem is a mystery, and it will take time to solve it."
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "Then let's slowly move forward from the recent ones. The people they have offended recently are most likely the masterminds. In the face of hatred, most people will choose to retaliate immediately and will not tolerate it for too long.
old."
Song Sen arrived: "Guo Xingzhen's latest grudge happened not long ago, and everyone in the palace knows it..."
Li Qinzai suddenly became energetic: "Tell me, who has he had a grudge against recently? I feel like this big fish is about to surface!"
Song Sen glanced at him awkwardly and weakly pointed at Li Qinzai's chest: "The person who has recently had a grudge against Guo Xingzhen is you, County Uncle Li."
Li Qinzai opened his eyes wide: "..."
"A few days ago, you and Guo Xingzhen had a conflict at the Chengtianmen Jinshui Bridge. You even kicked an eunuch into the water. Guo Xingzhen had to submit to you. Has County Uncle Li forgotten?"
Li Qinzai took a deep breath and said with a MMP smile: "Master Song, you have been busy all night and this is what happened? Is this it?"
Song Sen hurriedly said: "Of course it's more than that. Moreover, the official knows that Li County Bo Duan cannot be suspected. You are a foreign minister, how could you frame him in the palace."
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched a few times and said, "Keep talking."
"Guo Xingzhen hasn't done much recently, but Fan Yunxian has offended a lot of people. This guy has always been domineering in the palace. He doesn't take other palace people seriously, and often gathers a group of accomplices to bully the palace people. The palace people dare to be angry with him.
I dare not say anything, but as for the mastermind of the frame-up, I think it is most likely Fan Yunxian’s enemy."
As he spoke, Song Sen handed over a piece of paper with names written on it and said: "These people have been bullied by Fan Yunxian recently, and three of them were seriously injured by Fan Yunxian and his accomplices."
Li Qinzai took it and scanned it hastily, then his expression fell into confusion.
In fact, this list is of little significance to Li Qinzai. There are too many names on it. Bai Qisiruo checks them one by one, and the waiting time is long. Li Zhi is anxious to get the truth and cannot wait that long.
What's more, the mastermind who framed Guo and Fan is their enemy. This is just Li Qinzai's guess, and maybe he is not an enemy. A friend can stab someone in the back more cruelly than an enemy.
What to do next?
Li Qinzai thought hard for a long time and came up with a way.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If I move, the enemy will move.
"Master Song, please try to spread a rumor among the palace people, saying that we have locked the direction of the crime. The mastermind behind the scenes must be the enemies of Guo and Fan. Baiqisi is investigating one by one. Let this news out.
, it quickly spread among the palace people."
"Then Baiqisi will observe secretly to see if anyone can lose his composure and reveal any flaws first."
