The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 124 Strange Things
Cheng Huai also retreated from consciousness upset, thinking clearly why he was so upset inside. This was not a good sign.

He stood up and went to the bookshelf on the right to find the deeply hidden portrait of Queen Wen.

Her appearance is of aggressive beauty, but her temperament is contrary to her flamboyant appearance. She is an extremely gentle person.

The late emperor was a man who spoke softly to everyone and everything. She fell in love with him at the first sight. The Wen family used to be powerful, but the late emperor was just a down-and-out prince. She resolutely married him and devoted all her family members to him. Efforts were made to support the late emperor's ascension to the throne.

She devoted her whole life to love, but in the end she ended up with the whole family about to be destroyed. She used her own flames to try to warm that person, but she didn't know that the late emperor's love and philandering were playing tricks on her.

After gaining power, he abandoned her, but she was still like a moth flying to a flame. She always felt that she had done something wrong, so she aroused the late emperor's disgust. She desperately wanted to change herself, but there was a person who really liked her. A person is reluctant to let that person get hurt.

The late emperor never had her in his heart, and she died because she blocked the way of the woman he loved most.

Once a person has feelings, it is a sharp knife. If he is not careful, he will be pierced with blood.

He closed his eyes slightly, and his memory returned to that thunderstorm night. He had never heard such loud thunder, which made his body numb. He listened to the sound of the Queen's shrill screams coming from the dark room one after another. shouting.

His blood froze. In the end, he rushed in without hearing the queen's words. Queen Wen was lying in a pool of blood, looking at him pleadingly.

The perpetrator was his father. He was holding a knife and wanted to dig out Queen Wen's entire heart.

What happened next was too bloody and cruel. Not only did he fail to save his mother, he was almost strangled to death by his father. He was tortured to the point of dying and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

And the reason for all this absurdity is that Xu Kangwen wanted a beautiful heart.

Cheng Huai also held the scroll a little tighter with his fingertips. The end result was that he returned all the injuries suffered by his mother to his father, dug out his heart and fed it to the dogs in front of all the courtiers.

The extremely bloody methods were used to suppress them so that they did not dare to criticize.

But there is also Xu Kangwen, and his current abilities are not enough to touch his foundation.

Cheng Huai also pinched his brows and thought, forget it, there is no way he would take the initiative to find Xu Anan anyway!

Jingzhao

Yao Zhuoyu carried a pearwood chair for Xu An to sit on. The legendary master who was favored by the saints was in front of him, and he was a little nervous.

The yamen servants in Jingzhao Mansion secretly looked at Xu Anan's beautiful face with bated breath. They heard that the superiors had sent them a concubine to accompany them to investigate the case.

But, let's just listen to this "accompanying the investigation". It can't be taken seriously. The main reason is that this favored empress was bored in the palace and wanted to go out to play, so their emperor allowed her to come out in a cowardly way. !

This was their first time. While they were nervous, they could not help but be amazed by Xu Anan's appearance. They had only heard of the name of the most beautiful woman in Qijing before, but they had never seen her in person. It didn't matter at this glance. The entire Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen I can't wait to bring out all the best things here to recruit her.

A government servant brought a pot of fragrant hot tea to Xu Anan: "Ming Fei, drink some tea. The one you just brewed is the best Longjing." After saying that, he poured it for Xu Anan diligently. An An glanced at him and smiled at him: "Thank you."

The yamen servant was shocked by her "thank you". He was so virtuous and capable that he could bear the word "thank you" from a beloved concubine.

Then he waved his hands nervously: "This is what I should do, my Majesty, there is no need to thank you."

After he retreated, he began to praise An'an to his companions with tears in his eyes.

Concubine Ming is kind-hearted, not arrogant, gentle and courteous, and there is no rumor at all that she is a hindrance and burden.

If you must say it is a burden, please give them a dozen of such burdens!
Xu Anan has been in Jingzhao Mansion for one morning and has already become familiar with the government officials in the mansion. Her temperament that she can get along with everyone is really popular.

No, four or five people gathered together to tell Xu Anan about the recent cases they encountered.

"This happened a month ago. There is a very secluded mountain outside Beijing, dozens of miles away from here. A strange incident happened there." The person who spoke was the head of the Yamen in Jingzhao Mansion, named His name is Wang Lai, and his nickname is Lai Zi.

Jingzhao Mansion is equivalent to the Criminal Investigation Office. As long as cases occur in the surrounding area, they will be transferred to Jingzhao Mansion for investigation.

And Wang Lai is an old man from Jingzhao Mansion. He has stayed here for decades and knows the cases in Jingzhao Mansion very well. He just told Xu Anan for fun.

"Speaking of this matter, I have some impression that because of the murder case in Beijing, Mr. Yao said that this case will not be investigated for now." The other person who spoke was named Jia Ying, who was from Jingzhao Mansion three years ago. Everyone is a person who handles cases everywhere, and there are all kinds of cases in Beijing every day, such as someone's cow was stolen, someone got into a fight with someone, someone from someone's family disappeared mysteriously, or died mysteriously.

As long as it occurs within a hundred miles of the surrounding area and the local area cannot solve the case, it will be reported to Beijing, and Yao Zhuoyu will send people to verify. After confirming that the situation is correct, he will send personnel to that place to investigate the case.

Wang Lai saw that Xu Anan's eyes were full of curiosity, and he coughed lightly: "This incident was reported by a villager at that time. He was talking about the mysterious death of a chicken at home, and he could see him every morning. The neck of the chicken was bitten off, and there was blood all over the yard. The most terrifying thing is that the person who did it sucked all the blood out of the chicken."

"I thought it was a weasel at first, but I didn't expect that the old man bumped into a shadow one night. The shadow just disappeared when the old man noticed it."

"He was so frightened that he quickly reported the case. The local magistrate stayed on guard for several days and found out nothing about it. However, because of the incident in Beijing, the matter was shelved for now."

Jia Ying quickly pushed Wang Lai: "Don't say such scary things to your Majesty. Can you bear to frighten your Majesty?"

Only then did Wang Lai realize that Xu An'an was just a weak woman. Girls raised in boudoirs generally stayed away from blood and murder. They felt sick hearing about sucking chicken blood, let alone Xu An'an.

His face turned pale with fright, and he quickly looked at Xu An'an, only to see her taking a sip of tea with a very leisurely expression, and she let out a long sigh of relief after she finished.

"Huh? Why didn't you say anything? What happened to those chickens in the end?"
