Empress Cao is not favored.

But she's the queen, and that's not going to change anyway.

In the harem, one has to depend on the queen to live a comfortable life.

In the evening, perhaps because of Princess Fukang's relationship with the Qingshou Palace, several people had a happy meal.

Miao Zhaorong took Zhao Yongyi back to Ciyuan Hall.

Zhao Zhen wanted to tell Empress Cao what happened in court today, but he thought of what she said last time and decided not to.

He didn't want to have a good atmosphere, because of the government, they broke up again because of the turmoil.

The two of them were about to go to bed when the palace maid Forsythia came in and reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Renming Palace has sent someone over to say that the Eighth Princess is ill and would like to ask Your Majesty to come over and take a look."

Forsythia really wants to scold people.

But she is a little maid, and she dare not make decisions without authorization. There is a ready-made excuse of the eighth princess in the Hall of Renming, and she has repeatedly called the officials away from the Qingshou Palace.

However, the official family has few heirs, so they love the eighth princess very much.

As a court lady, she dared not stop her from reporting.

Just as Zhao Zhen was about to take off his clothes, he hurried out when he heard Lianqiao's report.

Cao Yuyan's face gradually turned cold.

After entering the palace for ten years, she thought that she was a queen, and even if she could not get his heart from the official, she could still get his people.

It seems she was wrong.

With that beauty Zhang around, the officials would never see her contribution.

She is the majestic mother of a country, living such a miserable life.

"I'm going to see if the eighth princess is really sick."

It was still at the Hall of Renming, who used the eighth princess as a cover to openly rob people from her, the queen.

However, just when Cao Yuyan couldn't hold back anymore, Mother Rong held her back and shook her head: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Mother Rong, I can't take it anymore."

Mother Rong asked Lianqiao to go out first, and after the door was closed, she said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you are the master of the harem, and even if you spoil the heavens at the Hall of Renming, she can't surpass you. Why bother to lower your status, Go argue with her."

Cao Yuyan felt pain in her heart.

Does she care about status?She just wants to be loved by the officials!

But ten years later, I still can't get it.

"Your Majesty, embroidery needles are not as sharp as both ends, and sugar cane is not as sweet as both ends. When you enter the palace, don't expect to be favored by all the officials. As long as he respects you and prevents you, your empress, from coming to power, it will be fine."

Cao Yuyan burst into tears.

These reasons, her mother had already told her before entering the palace, she was young at the time, she felt that her family background and talents were impeccable, and she would definitely be loved by the officials after entering the palace.

Therefore, this huge psychological gap needs her to digest year after year.

She thought that after ten years of digestion, she could treat it calmly, but she found that she couldn't be calm.

After crying, Cao Yuyan's complexion gradually turned cold.

"Mother Rong, is there any way to get rid of her?"

"My lady..."

Mother Rong exclaimed in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't have such thoughts, there are so many women in the harem, without Zhang Meiren, there will be others."

"No, mother Rong, you don't know the official family. He really likes Zhang Wanqing."

Even if this liking is not worth his Jiangshan Sheji, it is the only existence in the harem.

Mother Rong was silent for a while, and said slowly: "That can't be done directly, the old slave has a way, it's slower, but you don't need your mother to do it, and you don't need to get dirty."

Su House.

When Gu Qingjue returned to the mansion, his buttocks hadn't warmed up yet, so Li Duanyuan came to have dinner in his official residence.

"Ziyuan, I heard Master Wu say that you assisted Kaifeng Mansion to solve the recent hanging case, is it true?"

"Ah."

Li Duanyuan patted Gu Qingjue on the shoulder: "That's great, I feel like I've lost my leg in the past ten days."

"Your leg is not broken."

When Li Duanyuan heard it, he called Gu Ziyuan ruthless.

In Kaifeng Mansion, there are left and right halls, and each hall has one official, and they take turns adjudicating cases on a daily basis. The hanging and beheading cases happened when he was on duty, so naturally he investigated them.

After the meal was finished, the two sat in the courtyard and talked about the case of hanging and beheading.

Su Yixin brought over the refreshments, sat next to Gu Qingjue and listened quietly.

The two cases, one involving hanging and the other involving decapitation, were not related in terms of modus operandi.

But after Li Duanyuan's investigation, it was found that there was a relationship between the two deceased.

So the case was merged together.

After Su Yixin finished listening, she asked, "What is the relationship between the two deceased?"

Li Duanyuan said mysteriously: "You would never have imagined that the one whose head was cut off had a daughter who died three years ago. It just so happened that the family who hanged herself was three years ago, to be precise, that Three days before my daughter died, she also died."

"After visiting the relatives and friends of these two families, I found that although the two deceased's homes were separated by more than ten miles, they seemed to be quite familiar. The daughter went to the grave."

"Just say it's strange or not."

Gu Qingjue's brows didn't move: "It's quite strange, you didn't ask Mr. Wu, why did you combine these two murder cases into one investigation?"

"Of course I did."

Li Duanyuan hummed twice: "But Mr. Wu just won't tell me, even if I ask him."

Su Yixin said: "I just heard from you that Mr. Wu wanted to dig that girl's grave, but the girl's father disagreed, right?"

"Yes, the person has been dead for three years, and it is human nature to disagree with the person's grave now. But what does this have to do with the death of the girl's grandmother?"

Why can the person whose head was cut off be quickly identified? One is that the deceased was wearing the clothes that the girl’s grandmother usually wears, and the other is that there is a mole on her calf.

As for the head of the girl's grandmother, it has not been found yet.

I don't know where it was thrown by the murderer.

The head was not found, and the girl's grave was not dug.

Wu Yu himself didn't have conclusive evidence, so how could he tell Li Duanyuan.

He just relied on his years of experience and intuition in handling cases and believed that the two cases were involved.

Su Yixin laughed lightly.

Li Duanyuan pointed at Su Yixin: "Sister and sister, you are hurting people's self-esteem. If you know anything, just tell me."

"I guess Mr. Wu not only asked to dig the girl's grave, but hanged the family. It was the man's mother who died. Did Mr. Wu also ask to dig the grave?"

"Yes, yes, how do you know this?"

Su Yixin spread her hands together: "I guess."

"No, you must know something, otherwise how would you guess what I didn't say. Ziyuan, brother and sister, you two treat me as an outsider and refuse to tell me."

Tut tut...

Li Duan wished that this word was invincible.

"Gongjin, you learned this grueling kung fu from your sister, right?"

As expected of two siblings!
