Empress, she wins by eating melons and laying down in the harem

Chapter 271
"I've been sending people to keep an eye on him. He recently got in touch with the shopkeeper of Zhiwei Bookstore, and even secretly met with Du Yue," the prince said.

Liu Qiqi thought about the scene she saw that day, and then looked at the confidence of the man in front of her. She used the system's words, "Can you help Yan Ling'er?"

"No!" The prince directly refused.

Liu Qiqi didn't insist, she thought it was touching the man's bottom line, and when the maid brought the food, she ate it directly, and she didn't say anything about the rejection of the proposal not long ago.

Seeing that the woman was not angry, the prince was really relieved.

Xu Shangshu was killed by him. How could he let Xu Shangshu's son become an official?

If he hadn't been concerned about the relationship between his daughter and Yan Ling'er at that time, Xu Lei might not have survived until now!

As for Mrs. Xu, he still has other plans, and it's not yet time to tell the woman clearly!
The prince had another idea today.

He planned to come up with the question himself, and there would be no leaking of the question.

And because of the script, I thought of the case of that investigation.

Pan Yu's is really unusual. What if Li Shangshu was the one who wrote the question?

Thinking about it, the prince was looking forward to that scene.

With a plan in mind, I feel that the grapes in front of me have a sour taste, but they don't feel sour anymore.

Liu Qiqi saw his behavior.

Thinking that the grapes might have been grown by Li Jiaxuan, and seeing him eating with such relish, my heart was bubbling with sourness.

"Grapes are delicious?"

"En." The prince said, picked another one and put it in his mouth.

"You don't feel sour?" Liu Qiqi asked.

"A little bit, but the acidity is just right, and it tastes better."

When Liu Qiqi heard this, she didn't want to talk at all.

Not long after, Chunbi and the others brought food and two jars of wine.

Liu Qiqi was about to drink, so she ate and drank.

Today's wine feels a bit bitter, and she knows in her heart that it's all because of the grapes.

She controlled her thoughts very well and didn't show it on her face.

It's just that the more she drank the wine, the worse it became, so she stopped drinking it altogether.

Holding the wine glass, the prince asked, "What's the matter?" Looking in a bad mood?

Liu Qiqi glanced at the wine jar, "The taste of the wine today is a bit strange."

"Is there?" The prince sniffed the wine in the glass carefully, "It's the same!"

Liu Qiqi pushed the wine jar in front of her to the man, "I drink from this jar."

The prince didn't notice, but after being reminded by the woman, he simply took the woman's wine glass and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

This smell, the smell is different.

The prince put the wine glass aside calmly, "Forget it, drinking alone is no fun, let's go watch the moon!"

The prince wanted to enjoy the night view, but God didn't cooperate, the outside was cloudy, and there would be a heavy rain at any time.

Seeing this, Liu Qiqi laughed unceremoniously.

The prince's face was not very good, he took the woman back to the house, and when he came into the house, he saw Chunbi, Yu Dai, and Zhou Yan were cleaning up the table, but Qingdai and the wine jar were gone.

As if nothing happened, he came to the inner hall with the woman, and Liu Qiqi picked up the scripture book and looked at it.

The prince walked over, "Is this what that person wrote?"

"En." Liu Qiqi sent the script book in her hand to the prince.

The prince held it and looked carefully.

After looking for a while, he saw the topic about the scientific examination.

In the past, he did not participate in the scientific examination, because he wanted to come up with his own questions this year, and do some research on this aspect.

After reading it, I found that the most popular scientific examination questions in the past are all on this, and some of them are my recent attention.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at it, I find that it is in the same direction as I thought.

Thinking of this, the prince's hand holding the storybook tightened slightly.

Damn!

There are eyes that shouldn't appear beside him!
Who?
who is it?

The people who can be close to him are all selected after thousands of selections. Which link has the problem?
Thinking of the problem with the woman's drinking just now, he felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart. For the sake of the woman, he tried hard to control himself and stay by her side.

Not long after, Qingdai brought tea.

The prince looked over, Qing Dai nodded, Liu Qiqi didn't notice this movement, and took a sip from the teacup.

"It smells a little weird?"

Qing Dai said, "This is scented tea."

Liu Qiqi took a sip carefully, the taste was a bit strange, she didn't like it very much, because the prince was around, she was worried that if she didn't drink it, Qingdai would be punished by the prince, so she drank it slowly.

Qing Dai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, and quickly left with her teacup.

After a while, Liu Qiqi felt a little tired and dozed off frequently.

"Sleepy?" the prince asked.

Liu Qiqi nodded, got up and walked to the bed, took off her coat, went to bed, and quickly fell asleep.

The prince was sure that the woman was asleep, so he came to check.

Make sure that the woman will not wake up for a short time, and carefully cover the woman with a quilt.

When the prince came to the courtyard, Zhao Kai and Sun Shuo were already waiting.

Before the prince left, he glanced at Yu Dai and the others. Yu Dai, Zhou Yan, and Chunbi had already known the general situation from Qing Dai, and they knelt on the ground one by one, respectfully sending the prince away.

The prince came to the study room, and there was a dark group of people kneeling inside.

The prince looked at the crowd on the ground and said, "Go!"

Everyone kneeling on the ground left as quickly as possible after hearing this.

After all the men in black left, Zhao Kai and Sun Shuo came to the prince.

The prince stared at the two of them, trusting them, who is his eyes?
The matter has been explained, he can only wait.

The faces of everyone around him flashed in his mind, but he didn't find any clues, so he turned his attention to the dignitaries in the capital.

After thinking for a while, I have no idea.

Not long after, there was movement outside the imperial study room.

Zhao Kai went to open the door, saw Qing Dai standing at the door, and let it go directly.

When Qing Dai arrived, she knelt down to carry her luggage, "Prince, it's Madam Wu, the head maid."

"Mother Wu?" The prince thought of the maid who was taken away by Mother Wu and died on the way.

If it was anything else, the prince knew that he would not be too angry. No one in the palace was clean, as long as he did not offend him, he would not be angry. Today is different, if he dares to put his hand on Liu Qiqi, he will be damned!

When the prince came outside the imperial study room, he saw several people kneeling on the ground headed by Madam Wu.

The prince just took a look, turned and left.

Following his movement, Nanny Wu and others who were kneeling on the ground fell to the ground one by one.

The smell of blood has not dissipated, and it has been cleaned up.

Zhao Kai has been waiting at the door, and seeing that everything was back to normal, he turned and walked into the imperial study.

At this time, Sun Shuo had already taken orders to leave.

Zhao Kai stood by, waiting for the prince's order.

This wait is one night.

the next day.

The prince attended the early court.

Many people did not come this morning, the prince had a gloomy face, and all the people present were guilty and afraid.

In these years of being an official, who hasn't done one or two bad things, suddenly so many people didn't show up, everyone thought of Xu Shangshu who had been missing for several days and died after being found.

We have been colleagues of each other for many years, so we know a little bit.

Looking at these people who have never participated in the early court, I am afraid that it is all bad luck!
The prince didn't talk nonsense, after going for a long time in the early morning, when they went home one by one, on the way back, they saw a few familiar colleagues being taken away by people from Dali Temple.

One by one just glanced at each other, no one said anything, and they all left quickly.

On this day, many people died in the capital.

However, the business of various restaurants in the capital has improved again.

Seeing this astonishing scene, everyone couldn't understand.

So many people died strangely, everyone should be quiet, why are so many people happy like a festival?
