And the next day, Concubine Zhang also learned another news: all the people who secretly monitored the Eighty-sixth Palace were killed inexplicably, without leaving any traces or clues, and they didn’t even know how they died.
Know.
But everyone knows that there is no one other than Eighty-six Du Xueqing who did it.
So what methods did Du Xueqing use to achieve this?
If she had such means, could she sneak into the harem secretly, block Concubine Zhang's perception, and then kill people one by one, silently?
Even the Zhang family cannot answer these questions.
Although there are contradictions between both parties, and there are no clues or evidence, at least one thing is certain. The Eighty-Sixth Princess Du Xueqing has a huge secret. Even if there is no evidence or clues, she cannot escape the relationship.
Concubine Zhang discussed with the elders of the Zhang family and wanted to take revenge.
But after careful discussion, I found that it would be difficult to take revenge.
Because even late-stage Void Refining dead warriors like Zuo Yan have failed, if they want to successfully retaliate against Du Xueqing, they can only send out Fusion-stage monks.
The monks in the integration stage are not cabbage, they can be sent as they please.
The Zhang family is considered a powerful family, but the monks in the integration period are already talkers or elders in the Zhang family. Is it necessary for such a big shot to personally carry out the task of assassinating a royal family?
It's like the leader of a faction personally dispatched.
Although there is a high probability that Du Xueqing can be killed if the monks in the integration stage are sent out, don't forget that this is in the palace, and the monks in the integration stage are doing it. If they can't do it absolutely, as long as they leave some clues, they will be traced by the court.
As for the monks in the integration stage of the Zhang family, the imperial court has long registered and noted them, and there are various countermeasures in place. Once traced, not only the perpetrator himself, but also the Zhang family will be implicated.
Although the Zhang family is powerful, it is just a family. How can it withstand the wrath of the imperial court?
Therefore, even though there are people involved, if you don't have enough confidence to move the whole body, it is equivalent to ruining the family.
But facing someone like Du Xueqing, who has no clear idea of the depth of his strength and is suspected of having special hiding abilities, even a monk in the integration stage would not dare to brag about it, as he is guaranteed to succeed and will not leave any traces or clues.
Of course, Concubine Zhang's harem was completely slaughtered, which was a great shame and humiliation. She couldn't bear it, so naturally she wanted to send someone to take revenge.
But the Zhang family always disagreed, thinking that it was not worth taking such a big risk just to let out a sigh of relief.
What's more, Concubine Zhang sent people to assassinate Du Xueqing first, and the Zhang family didn't know about it beforehand.
Although Concubine Zhang is the head of the Zhang family, she is not the head of the family. If the elders of the family disagree, she cannot force the order.
As a result, the two parties did not reach an agreement and broke up unhappy.
Concubine Zhang had no choice but to give up, so she became cruel and decided to accuse Du Xueqing to Emperor Xuanqing in the court.
Anyway, what happened in the harem will spread out sooner or later. Instead of becoming the laughing stock of others in the future, it is better to speak out yourself.
Even if there is no evidence or clues and there is no way to take revenge on Du Xueqing, we still need to let everyone know what Du Xueqing is capable of and how to deal with her better in the future.
After everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded and extremely surprised.
Unexpectedly, such a ridiculous thing actually happened in Concubine Zhang's harem.
Unbelievable.
Let’s not talk about how audacious the perpetrator was. Let’s just talk about how he sneaked into the harem where the formation prohibited the armed guards, and then killed people under the eyes of Concubine Zhang, a powerful person in the middle stage of the integration. How was this done?
All the royal families are geniuses who are only one in a thousand. Although most of them are in the palace and have not yet gone out, they are practicing the most advanced skills and supernatural powers in the world and enjoying the best cultivation resources. They are also well-informed, but they have never
I have seen, but never heard of, any magical powers and secret techniques that can ignore the palace's formation restrictions and come and go freely, as if entering a deserted land! Even the emperor himself has traces to follow where he wants to go.
Bar?
"Your Majesty, this happened to me. As a monk in the middle stage of integration, I didn't know anything about it. Not to mention the face of the murderer, I didn't even find any clues or traces. It's really a great shame for me!"
Concubine Zhang said angrily: "I know very well that the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics, so it is not my wish to come to the court and expose my shame. However, I have no choice. I really can't wait for your Majesty to come to the harem to tolerate this matter again, so I do it myself."
I advocate that you come to the court and tell your grievances to your majesty in person, and ask your majesty to make the decision for my concubine, catch the murderer, and uphold justice for my concubine."
She wanted to squeeze out some tears and pretend to be weak to win the emperor's sympathy, but as a big shot, she was used to being strong, so she couldn't shed tears even if she wanted to. She could only cover her face with her hands and pretend to cry.
Emperor Xuanqing looked serious: "I know, this happened, I am very angry, a bold maniac, dare to start killing in my harem, so outrageous and evil, I will never give mercy, Zhang Aifei, don't worry
, I will ask the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to jointly investigate this matter, and we will definitely investigate to the bottom of the matter, find the murderer, and give you justice."
Concubine Zhang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but there is no need for a special investigation, because I have already investigated in advance, and the perpetrator did not leave any traces or clues, otherwise I would not be helpless."
She added: "Your Majesty is aware of my concubine's cultivation. Moreover, after this incident, I also summoned the elderly from my parents' family to the palace to investigate, but still found nothing. Although the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are more professional, I am afraid that the investigation will not last until the end."
, but also returned without success.”
Emperor Xuanqing thought: "Concubine Zhang Ai, it's not that I can't trust you, but if you don't investigate in detail, how can you find the murderer?
I have a lot of things to do, and I can’t go to the scene myself to investigate.”
Concubine Zhang said: "How dare I dare to work for His Majesty? The reason why I said there is no need to investigate is because I already have a suspect in my mind. Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is basically her."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Oh, who do you suspect?"
Concubine Zhang said: "I suspect that Princess Du Xueqing, the Eighty-Sixth Princess, is the murderer. Please check it out, Your Majesty."
Everyone was surprised.
I really didn’t expect that it was Du Xueqing that Concubine Zhang suspected! How is this possible?
Emperor Xuanqing was also stunned.
Immediately, Emperor Xuan Qing shook his head and said: "My beloved concubine, are you kidding me?"
Concubine Zhang said: "I am not joking. The person I suspect is the Eighty-sixth Princess Du Xueqing."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Why do you doubt Eighty-Six?
What evidence is there?”
Concubine Zhang said: "I have no evidence, but I do not frame others randomly. I do have a reason. Princess Eighty-Six is the murderer."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Oh, what's the reason?
Come and listen."
Concubine Zhang said: "The reason for my concubine is that those monks died inexplicably around the Eighty-Sixth Palace yesterday."
Upon hearing this, many royal family members' expressions suddenly changed.
