Hou Jun shook his head: "This is not something a guard should know."
Before Xia Shang could reply, Chunjiao beside him said: "Sir, I will go to the palace with you. By coincidence, I also have something I want to discuss with the Queen."
"What can happen to you?"
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been secretly seized power. The Queen wants to give an explanation. At least I want to know the Queen's attitude. What the adults can tolerate, the subordinates cannot tolerate."
Xia Shang understood Chunjiao's motives. It turned out that she was still thinking about the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Chunjiao wanted to use the queen's help to put pressure on the prince.
Although it doesn't have much use, it still has some use.
The behemoth of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was gradually coming to life under the management of Xia Shang, and it could not fall into the hands of others at this time.
Even if you want to be controlled by others, you cannot let others control you so comfortably.
It is a good thing that Chunjiao is still worried about this matter at the moment. Chunjiao will promote everything. At least it will not give people the feeling that Xia Shang is nostalgic for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it will save Xia Shang a lot of trouble.
.
But at the same time, if Chunjiao is too radical in this matter, she will also cause herself a lot of trouble.
Seeing Chunjiao's angry look, Xia Shang probably tried to persuade her not to be too aggressive, but she wouldn't listen.
"Isn't that good? Let's go to the palace together."
…
It was late at night when we arrived at the palace.
After the Black Tower incident, Xia Shang had an extra layer of gloom about the palace.
But thinking about it, the person who had always made Xia Shang worried about him had completely disappeared, and he felt much safer in his heart.
Entering the palace today, Xia Shang's mood was complicated.
But not long after entering the palace, Xia Shang felt that there were some changes in the palace today.
This is an inexplicable change. It doesn't look any different from before, but there are always some differences.
To describe it in terms of feelings, the previous palace was always different from the palace in Xia and Shang's memory. There was a kind of gloomy atmosphere in the palace.
The current palace is almost the same as the palace in Xia and Shang's memories. It lacks that weird feeling. Although it still has a majestic feel, it doesn't have that kind of feeling, but people are obviously much more relaxed and comfortable in it.
I don’t know if this subtle change is due to the disappearance of the old man.
Thinking about the total
There is also an indescribable emotion.
Not far ahead was the queen's bedroom, and Hou Jun seemed to have no intention of following her.
When Xia Shang and Hou Jun were about to separate, Xia Shang looked back at Hou Jun, and then asked: "Where is the black tower?"
Hou Jun was slightly startled: "It has disappeared forever in the thunder."
"Gone forever..."
Xia Shang repeated it, looking in the direction of the black tower, but there was no shadow of the black tower there, only a bright starry sky.
"call……"
Xia Shang took a deep breath and followed Chunjiao in front to the palace gate.
Before Xia Shang could stand still, the door was opened by a young palace maid, who looked at Xia Shang and Chunjiao with an indifferent expression: "The queen said that only Mr. Xia can go in."
Chunjiao frowned after hearing this, and was about to say something when Xia Shang interrupted: "Okay, I'll go in first to check the situation."
With that said, Xia Shang entered the palace alone.
There was only the queen in the palace.
Xia Shang was about to speak, but he found that there was something unusual in the palace at this time.
Why was the queen's palace turned into such a mess?
The furnishings of the entire palace have completely lost their previous orderliness. Tables, chairs, benches, beds and desks, none of the furniture is placed smoothly in its place.
Obviously, this place had been turned over before Xia and Shang came.
"What...what's going on?" Xia Shang looked at all this and asked the Queen in the depths of the palace.
At this moment, Qin Zheng was not as elegant and calm as before. Her hair was a little fluffy and her clothes were messy. After hearing Xia Shang's voice, she walked up to Xia Shang in two or two steps and spread her hands: "Hand over the things!"
"Something? What something!"
Qin Zheng's eyes were red and bloodshot, and she was not in a good mood: "Stop pretending, you thing!"
"Queen, what are you talking about?"
"Xia Shang! Do you think I don't know? You didn't believe what I said from the beginning! I want the general outline of the Heavenly Book! The general outline of the Heavenly Book! Hand it over!"
"The general outline of the Book of Heaven?" Xia Shang took a breath and felt that something was wrong, "You mean the small piece that the empress took from me?"
"that is!"
"Didn't you get burned by the empress?"
Hearing this, Qin Zheng became even more excited. He stepped forward to grab Xia Shang's sleeve and said loudly: "It's time.
Why are you pretending to me? That day you fell asleep while I was riding and secretly went through my things."
Xia Shang rubbed his nose and his voice gradually became deeper: "Now that we know everything, what else is there to say? But if the general outline of the Heavenly Book is lost, then this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Who else could it be but you?"
"The person who knows the whereabouts of the General Compendium of the Heavenly Book is also the Japanese man. Although on the surface he does not know that the remaining small piece of the General Compendium of the Heavenly Book is in the hands of the Queen, but with his ability, as long as he calmly investigates, he will always find some clues. And he
He is also capable enough to take away a small fragment from the palace."
"Impossible! Impossible... Except for you, no one will know that I have the outline of the Heavenly Book hidden in my hands!"
Hearing this, Xia Shang felt angry. He opened Qin Zheng's hand and said coldly: "Don't think that everyone is like you and can use feelings as a tool. I am an upright person and never lie in front of women. I do
If you do it, you have done it; if you have not done it, you have not done it. Believe it or not!"
Seeing Xia Shang's aggressive look, Qin Zheng felt a little relieved: "Really...it's really not you?"
"Of course not me!"
"But..." Qin Zheng paused, took a few steps back, and sat helplessly on the stool, "The general outline of the Book of Heaven was lost... lost without anyone noticing..."
"When did you discover it?"
"Just today."
"Where?"
"It's always been placed in the mezzanine of that dressing table."
Qin Zheng refers to the dressing table where Xia Shang found the fragments of that day's book. Qin Zheng did not put it anywhere else.
Xia Shang fell into deep thought.
Qin Zheng was still unwilling and said to herself: "I'll look for it again..."
"Well, you have turned the entire palace into this state. If it is not there, it must be lost."
"Why? Why is this happening? No one should know this news, Xia Shang, is it you? Did you accidentally leak the news, which led to someone boldly entering the palace..."
"Are you crazy? Are you blaming me for everything? Ever since I left the palace, the outline of the Heavenly Book has been rotten in my heart. Except for waiting for that Japanese man to appear, I have never mentioned it to anyone."
"But...but why did the General Outline of the Heavenly Book disappear? No one else has ever been here?"
