Dressed like a madman to criticize the empress, she was forcibly favored by the ruthless officials

Chapter 5 She is the hero's childhood sweetheart
Moral aspects aside, this is indeed a good idea.

But she knew that life was precious.

Besides, Qi Chen has never done anything evil. In the original text, he spent his whole life working for the benefit of the people.

Qi Chen never deserved to die.

Thinking of this, Song Liang said in a deep voice: "Although I am an empress, I would never condemn people to death like this. He is indeed a threat to us, but it is not impossible to resolve."

"But."

Bai Cheng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Song Liang: "There is no need to talk about this matter, but you have to remember, don't throw dirty water on Qi Chen indiscriminately in the future, be careful that he will attack you."

"Are you afraid of him?" Bai Cheng asked in surprise.

Song Liang was exposed by him, and felt a little guilty, but he still insisted: "I am a dignified empress of a country, how can I be afraid of him?"

Bai Cheng nodded, "I also think you shouldn't be afraid of him, but if you don't deal with Qi Chen as soon as possible, we will surely die a miserable death."

"I'll think about it again. You go back and wait for my news."

After finishing speaking, Song Liang never gave Bai Cheng another chance to speak, and directly ordered Wang Ji to send him out of the palace.

After sending Bai Cheng away, Wang Ji returned to Song Liang, and while making tea for her, he told: "Your Majesty, the Commander just left the palace and went to the Imperial Prison, saying that he wanted to interrogate Liu Jin."

Song Liang frowned, paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup, and said in a deep voice, "I have personally interrogated, and Qi Chen is still going? Just go, why didn't he tell me?"

Wang Ji explained earnestly: "Today, the front line reported that the Empress Dowager of the Western Shu Kingdom has been ordering people to recruit troops wantonly, and seems to be sending troops. Commander Qi only found out about this after entering the palace, so he must be too eager to find the fire The map of the chariot, that's why I didn't have time to tell His Majesty."

Song Liang put down the teacup when he heard the words, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Who did Qi Chen meet before leaving the palace today, have you found out all of them?"

There was a change in the enemy country, but Qi Chen knew about it before she, the empress of a country, did so after entering the palace.

Could it be that there are still people from Qi Chen in this palace?
Now she really wants to know who told Qi Chen about this.There is someone in this deep palace who is so well-informed that he even knows about the affairs of Xishu Kingdom.

Wang Ji replied: "The minister has already checked for His Majesty. Commander Qi left the palace and went to the Shangshi Bureau. He met Si Hong and Lu Zhaolin, the daughter of General Lu."

Lu Zhaolin, a very familiar name.

Song Liang Mosuo held the Bodhi bead in his palm, carefully recalling where he had heard this name before.

At this time, Wang Ji reminded at the right moment: "Ms. Lu's family grew up with Commander Qi since she was a child, and the relationship between the two is very good."

After he reminded him like this, Song Liang remembered everything.

Lu Zhaolin is one of the heroines in the original text, the childhood sweetheart of the hero Qi Chen!
Song Liang smiled and said, "So, he went to the palace to see his old friend?"

It seems that the male protagonist is not so cold and ruthless.

Wang Ji explained: "It was Lu Sihong who heard that Commander Qi had entered the palace, and asked someone to send a message to Commander Qi, saying that he had something important to tell today, and asked him to go to the Shangshi Bureau to explain."

Song Liang was a little surprised, "You know all this?"

Everyone sees that such a secret matter of my old friend can be found out by Wang Ji?He even knew exactly what the entrusted person passed on.

He shouldn't be monitoring in the palace, right?
Wang Ji replied neither humble nor overbearing: "If I want to share the worries for Your Majesty, I naturally need to know these things."

Song Liang was moved for a moment.

Above the court hall and in the deep palace courtyard, there are all good ministers, and Dazhao will surely prosper for a long time.

Wang Ji had found out the matter so clearly that Song Liang could probably guess what was going on.

She drank tea and said, "So, General Lu brought the news back from the front line in Yecheng, but he didn't report it to the court for a long time. We didn't know about it until someone from the front line came back today.

If my guess is correct, Lu Sihong should have gone home yesterday and met General Lu. "

Those who work in the palace can only get information about state affairs through the family members who are in charge of state affairs.

And Lu Sihong happened to have a father who just came back from the front, Lu Yuncheng.

Wang Jidao: "Your Majesty is right. I checked it out. Yesterday Lu Sihong did go home on leave. He didn't return to the palace until early this morning. I think he must have seen General Lu."

Song Liang stood up, looked at the court ladies coming and going outside the window, and said: "It seems that the whole Lu family is very courageous, they dare to hide this kind of thing from the court and from me."

Wang Ji followed her gaze and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to order someone to watch General Lu's mansion?"

Song Liang smiled and said, "No need, someone will watch for me."

Beizhen Fusi, in the prison.

Qi Chen took the square handkerchief from his subordinate and wiped his bloody hands.

He had interrogated Liu Jin and was about to return home.

The commanding officer, Yan Qing, followed behind him and said in a low voice, "My lord, this Liu Jin has tasted our tricks, and what he said is no different from what he said during the interrogation by the stupid king. It shouldn't be."

Qi Chen responded, "That proves that Liu Jin's confession is true."

He didn't believe Song Liang's words from Liu Jin's mouth, but the confessions he obtained by his own means could only be true, never false.

Qi Chen has a hundred ways to make life worse than death, and he used a full ten of them on Liu Jin just now.

He was sure that Liu Jin would never dare to speak half a lie.

Yan Qing said: "But you know how General Lu is, he would never do such a thing."

Qi Chen stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice: "General Lu is loyal to the country and would not do such a foolish thing. There is only one possibility for this matter, and Liu Jin doesn't know who her real master is."

Yan Qing became interested when he heard the words, he folded his arms, looked at Qi Chen and asked: "So, someone deliberately framed General Lu?"

Qi Chen shook his head, "I don't know, I have to check General Lu's mansion first."

Yan Qing was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Lord Qi, are you really planning to investigate the Lu family? The lady of the Lu family has deep roots in you, and Wang Ji's eyeliner is everywhere in the palace. It's so dangerous. She dared to take such a risk to tell this today. You, if you turn around and check the Lu family, isn't it a little too unreasonable?"

Qi Chen replied: "It's just an investigation, what's the relationship? Besides, if this matter is found out, the Lu family can be cleared as soon as possible."

Yan Qing asked again: "If it was General Lu who did it, if you find out the matter, aren't you afraid that Ms. Lu will be sad?"

Qi Chen's tone was still cold: "Zhaolin and I are close friends, and we have no personal affair. The Fusi of Beizhen doesn't need to think so much when investigating the case. The state affairs should be the most important thing."

Now he just wanted to get back the blueprint of the fire chariot as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Western Shu Kingdom attacked, Dazhao would have no way to deal with it, and by then it would be too late.

And General Lu is Qi Chen's only clue so far, he must start the investigation from General Lu's mansion.
