"You mean Li Jifeng?" After Xianyue nodded, he thought: "I also know this person. Logically speaking, he has been in the palace for many years and should not be able to do such an assassination. He should be a victim of
He was instigated by someone, or he joined an anti-thief organization like the Heaven and Earth Society."
Xianyue nodded and said: "I think so too. In addition... there is another thing that I still can't figure out. The Yongshou Palace is not close to the palace wall, and I didn't tell the Yangxin Palace. Why did Li Jifeng choose to hide here?
He is still in the palace of your concubine. Logically speaking, even if he wants to hide, he should choose a place where no one is around to hide."
Hongli also felt a little strange when she mentioned it like this. He thought about it carefully for a while and said: "This matter is indeed a little strange, but it is also possible that he went to the wrong place for a while."
Xianyue immediately shook her head and said: "Others may go astray, but Li Jifeng will definitely not. Your Majesty, please don't forget that this person was once ordered to guard the concubine. He must have had many opportunities to enter and leave the Yongshou Palace. How could he go astray?
Where is the road?"
Hongli's eyelids twitched, he stared at Xianyue and said, "You mean...Li Jifeng went to your concubine's palace on purpose?"
Hearing this, Xianyue knew that she had successfully planted a suspicion in Hongli's heart. She didn't say anything more at the moment and just said: "I am not sure, but it is indeed possible; in short, Li Jifeng and him are behind the scenes."
Everyone must find out, otherwise even though we have avoided it this time, there is no telling when the next time will happen. If the emperor is hurt, it will be too late."
"I know, I will let the spies investigate carefully and not miss any clue." As he said this, Hongli said with a hint of fear: "Fortunately, you only suffered flesh and blood injuries this time, otherwise... I
I really don’t know what to do. Promise me, no matter what you do next time, you have to be more careful. Even if it’s not for me, you have to think about Yongxing.”
"I know that I will pay attention to it in the future. This time... I really didn't expect that there would be an assassin, and he would be so vicious!"
Seeing Xianyue's agreement, Hongli smiled and said, "Okay, it's very late. Close your eyes and go to sleep. If you fall asleep earlier, I can leave earlier."
Xianyue was indeed tired, so she closed her eyes as she was told. After a while, her breathing became long and even, her expression relaxed, and she had obviously fallen asleep.
Hongli fanned for a while, and then left quietly. Xiao Wu and Huang Ying, who were waiting outside, saw him coming out, and they both bowed and slapped each other.
Hongli glanced at the two of them and said, "Have you finished explaining everything?"
Xiao Wu took the lead and said: "If we return to the emperor, I have handed Li Jifeng over to Kang Wei. He will interrogate Li Jifeng and send people to guard him day and night to ensure that Li Jifeng cannot commit suicide."
After he finished speaking, Huang Ying said: "The secret agents over there have also passed the order according to the emperor's wishes. They will conduct interrogations all night long!"
Hongli responded and said: "Let them check everyone in the Li family carefully. No one is allowed to be missed. If necessary, even the three generations of the ancestors should be checked clearly for me!"
Huang Ying didn't dare to be negligent and quickly agreed. He knew that Hongli was really angry this time. Everyone knew that Hongli cared most about the queen, but Li Jifeng had hurt the queen. If he hadn't asked
The person who emerged from behind the scenes, Li Jifeng, is probably dead now.
When he walked to the door of Kunning Palace, Hongli remembered something and said with a hint of hesitation: "In addition, let the secret agent investigate the affairs of the concubine and the Wei family."
Huang Ying raised her head in shock, "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to investigate the concubines and the others?"
Hongli frowned and said, "Don't ask too much, just follow my instructions."
Huang Ying heard this and did not dare to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and said, "I obey the order."
Although it was already late at night, the commotion in Yongshou Palace was so loud. In addition, Hongli, Hu, and Xia Qing rushed all night, and it had already spread throughout the harem before dawn.
In Jingren Palace, as soon as Xiao Huazi and Xiuzhu got the news, they immediately knocked on the door of the palace. After hearing Xin Bin's relaxed voice, they opened the door and walked in.
Xin Bin yawned and opened the curtain, glanced at the dark sky outside the window, and said displeasedly: "Why did you wake me up so early?"
Xiao Huazi said respectfully: "Master, something happened in Yongshou Palace."
As soon as she heard this, Xin Bin's sleepiness disappeared immediately. She stared at Xiao Huazi and said, "But we found evidence that the Wei family had an affair with Li Jifeng."
Xiao Huazi shook his head and said: "That's not true, but the Queen found an assassin in Yongshou Palace."
"Assassin?" Xin Bin said in surprise: "Who is so bold as to sneak into the palace to assassinate."
Xiuzhu said at the side: "Returning to the master, I heard that the assassin was Li Jifeng. They said that the queen asked Qi Kuan to search, but when he opened a cabinet, he was stabbed in the chest by someone hiding inside.
Then he went to assassinate the Queen, but fortunately there were guards around at the time, and the Queen only suffered some flesh wounds."
"The assassin is Li Jifeng?" Xin Bin asked in surprise. No matter how ingenious she thought, she couldn't figure out why Li Jifeng suddenly became an assassin and was caught by Xia Yue so coincidentally. She thought for a moment
, she said: "What's the situation now?"
"The emperor has taken Li Jifeng to the Department of Punishment and tortured him severely." At this point, Xiao Huazi smiled slightly and said, "Although I don't know how he became an assassin, under severe torture, he will definitely confess and order."
When the time comes, the master’s goal will be achieved.”
Concubine Xin signaled Xiuzhu to help her up and said, "Has the emperor sent someone to check the details of Li Jifeng?"
Xiao Huazi thought about it and said, "This servant hasn't heard about it, but he should have gone to check it out." As he said that, he chuckled and said, "We can find out about Li Jifeng's contacts with the Wei family, and naturally the emperor can too.
After being found, and the person was found from the palace of the concubine, I am afraid that even if the concubine jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to clean it up."
Xiuzhu pursed her lips and smiled and said, "That's wrong. Your concubine is already so dirty. How can she be cleansed?"
Concubine Xin looked at the ice that was about to melt in the copper basin and said slowly: "To be able to catch Li Jifeng in the Yongshou Palace, it seems that the queen and the others have put in a lot of effort; I am just waiting to see the good show, but Qian Qian
Wan…don’t let me down!”
The next day, as soon as it dawned, the ladies in the palace went to Kunning Palace one after another. They wanted to say hello, but in fact they wanted to see if Xianyue was really injured. When they got there, they saw Xianyue half lying on the bed, with a thick bandage wrapped around her arm.
Thick gauze.
After the girls learned that what happened last night was indeed true, they all showed annoyance. Concubine Wan Chen reprimanded her: "I didn't expect that this Li Jifeng, who has been favored by the emperor for many years, would do such a treasonous thing now. It's really true."
