Song Dynasty female artist

"Lu Fuyin, how do you work as an errand?"

When Princess Qi died, Chun Ya was the first to discover that she was a key figure, and now she is dying in the cell without rest.

It is conceivable that once this news is known to Dali, how will it be widely publicized.

Maybe it is said that the Song Dynasty killed people and silenced them.

He is so angry!

"Your Majesty, I fulfill my duties every day and let the jailor inspect the prisoners every half an hour. But this prisoner was frightened to death. No one would have expected it!"

Bao Zheng said: "Master Lu, this is sophistry. Since you are the governor, you should bear the responsibility."

"Yes, yes, I'll take it! I wonder if Mr. Bao wants me to die as an apology or something?"

Su Yixin raised her eyebrows.

Lu Gongchuo's work style is quite similar to that of his father.

Oh, I forgot to introduce this Lu Fuyin.

His courtesy name is Zhongyu, and he is the eldest son of the late Prime Minister Lu Yijian.

During his official tenure in Lu Yijian, he compiled and compiled in the History Museum. Later, Prime Minister Lu died of illness. He had to observe mourning for three years. When the mourning period was over, he was promoted to be the co-judge of Taichang Temple and to repair sacrificial vessels.

This official position is not high, but he did not stay long before he was promoted by His Majesty to Zhizhigao and a direct bachelor of Jialongtuge.

From an official of the third rank!

Naturally, some people were dissatisfied with Lu Gongchuo's promotion so quickly.

He said that it was just because he had a father who was a prime minister. His father made great efforts when His Majesty wanted to depose Queen Guo when he was young. His Majesty always remembered Prime Minister Lu's love, and this was how Lu Gongchuo helped him rise.

Lu Gongchuo stamped his feet in anger.

But there was no swearing either.

This shows that Lu Gongchuo is cowardly and timid.

I don’t know what your majesty was thinking. Not long after, Lu Gongchuo was promoted to the governor of Kaifeng.

This is a real and powerful official!

Most of those who have been in this position have moved up, and becoming prime ministers is just around the corner.

What's this?

Your Majesty, are you beating them?

Therefore, he became even more disliked by Lu Gongchuo.

Bao Zheng is one of these undesirables.

From the first moment he saw Lu Gongchuo, he was submissive and thought he was a weakling. I didn't expect that.

There's a needle hidden in the cotton!

Bao Zheng is an upright person. When he meets someone like Lu Gongchuo, he can only roll his eyes and say, "It's not enough to apologize. A slap in the face is still needed."

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Zhao Zhen said to Fuji: "Let the queen come in."

Zhao Zhen glared at Lu Gongchuo and sat back on the chair. The Queen came in and bowed to His Majesty, then sat down next to him.

Everyone paid tribute to the queen.

Zhao Zhen said: "There are rumors outside that the death of Princess Qi is related to the concubine of King Qi. The concubine of King Qi is the queen's niece. She was raised in the palace since she was a child and was taught by the queen, so I asked the queen to come and listen together."

"I wonder if you found any clues?"

Bao Zheng: "Back to the Queen, no! Not only that, Chunya, an important prisoner who was detained in the dungeon of Kaifeng Mansion, was also found dead in prison half an hour ago."

Cao Yuyan was really angry this time.

But she is the queen. She only came here to hear the progress of the matter and could not question it.

So he looked at the emperor. Zhao Zhen was already angry, so how could he give Lu Gong a good look? Lu Gongchuo was seen frequently wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

Gu Qingjue said: "Your Majesty, is Mr. Pan here?"

"I asked Mr. Pan to keep an eye on the embassy in Dali to prevent them from causing trouble. If you have anything to ask him, I asked him to come back immediately."

The main reason for asking him to come back was to ask him if he had found any abnormalities in Prince Qi's Mansion.

This anomaly refers to whether there are cultivators involved in this matter. With Pan Gong's cultivation level, as long as there are cultivators involved, they will definitely be able to detect clues.

Mr. Pan came back quickly.

In fact, everything he said had been told to Mr. Bao, but there would always be omissions in the dictation. Gu Qingjue still wanted to hear with his own ears everything that Pan Gong discovered when he went to Prince Qi's Mansion.

"When I entered the door, I smelled an extremely rare fragrance, and the courtyard where Princess Qi lived had many more flowers than other places. But Princess Qi came from Dali, and the climate in the south is warmer than that in Kaifeng. It's much warmer, and there are lush flowers there all year round, and I asked the maids serving Princess Qi, and they all said that Princess Qi likes all kinds of flowers, so I didn't think anything of it."

Lu Gongchuo thought for a while and said: "This minister also discovered it and asked the servants of Prince Qi's Mansion. He said that they started planting flowers after Princess Qi moved into that courtyard. Most of these flowers were transplanted from Qionglin Garden. "

Pan Gong nodded and said: "In addition, I also checked the body of Princess Qi. When I went there, Princess Qi had been dead for nearly three hours. It is normal for her soul to leave the body."

Because of being separated from the body, it is not possible to determine whether the soul dissipates normally after death, or whether it was captured in advance.

That's all the clues we have so far.

All speculations now point to King Qi's concubine. Even if King Qi stayed in the concubine's courtyard that night, her suspicion could not be ruled out.

King Qi's preference for his concubine is obvious to all, and his testimony is not enough to prove it.

The night watchers in the courtyard were all confidants of the concubine, and their testimonies were naturally not counted.

Even if they are telling the truth.

Who can prove that the concubine did not take action in advance, create evidence of alibi, or simply instruct others to act?

Anyway, if Princess Qi dies, the beneficiary will be the concubine of Prince Qi.

"Where is Prince Qi's concubine now?"

Bao Zheng said: "At Zongzheng Temple."

The emperor initially disagreed with the idea of ​​imprisoning the person in Zongzheng Temple. Wouldn't locking the person there be equivalent to telling the world that the death of Princess Qi was related to the concubine of the King of Qi? Only in this way can the life of King Qi's concubine be ensured.

If Princess Qi really committed suicide.

The finger was directed at the concubine of King Qi. If the concubine died at this time, everyone would think that the concubine of King Qi committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Things will only get worse.

In this way, Zhao Zhencai agreed to temporarily imprison King Qi's concubine in Zongzheng Temple for protection.

Su Yixin and Gu Qingjue followed Master Bao and the others to Zongzheng Temple and met Gao Taotao, who had stayed at Zongzheng Temple for eight days.

"Master Bao, Master Gu, Princess Ruian!"

This is not the first time Su Yixin has seen Gao Taotao, but it is the first time she has seen him so close.

Gao Taotao is three years younger than Su Yixin, and is 21 years old this year.

But she looks a few years older than Su Yixin.

They looked very dignified and majestic. Even if they were imprisoned here, they did not panic at all. When they saw them, they even smiled.

Su Yixin thought that this Gao Taotao was indeed not an ordinary woman to be known as the female middle school Yao and Shun in the history books of later generations.

Most women can still calm down after being locked up for a day or two.

But for eight days in a row, who could be so calm and composed, and even smile.

"Concubine Gao, I and Lord Gu are here to ask you something."

Gao Taotao nodded: "If you ask, I will tell you everything I know." (End of Chapter)
