It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 145

Looking at Qian Xiyao's panicked but unusually serious eyes, the emperor pondered for a while before saying, "Yesterday morning nobleman Fang died, and last night Mrs. Xiaobai died."

"How could it be?" Qian Xiyao was shocked and couldn't believe it.

The emperor patted Qian Xiyao's back comfortingly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard an announcement from a guard outside, saying, "Your Majesty, Mr. Deng has something to report."

"Take a good rest. Today... you can go to the garden to relax, and you will leave tomorrow." The emperor went out without looking back after finishing speaking.

In the study, the emperor looked deeply at Deng Qiquan, who was walking lightly, and said, "Is everything done?"

Deng Qiquan nodded and said, "A total of six people were arrested and kept, all of them are masters of one against ten. They said they set off from the capital and started to follow them. It's just that they have been unable to find a chance. Later, I saw Fang Guiren's court lady go out. To buy chickens... the guards were fed the Yiwei Jiuxian Pill by the drug tyrants in the Jianghu, which is a kind of overbearing poison that can make people lose consciousness immediately."

The emperor listened quietly, his eyes cold.

Deng Qiquan added, "The drug tyrants almost broke up because of the withering of their disciples. Later, they were funded by others, but after a few years they became a murderous sect in the Jianghu. As long as they take money, they will follow orders."

Wu Quan on the side said with lingering fear, "If it hadn't been for the preparation, these people would have almost entered into Concubine Zhen's room, but I don't understand, why did they kill Concubine Zhen?"

The emperor didn't speak, but with a vague and ruthless look on his face, he waved his hands and said, "Go and investigate, I must find out."

It turned out that when Deng Qiquan came out of the capital, he felt that someone was following behind him intentionally or unintentionally, so he became vigilant, but who knew that the target of these people was not the emperor but the precious concubine who had just been favored.

After Deng Qiquan went out, Wu Quan asked, "Your Majesty, that Xiaobai's corpse..."

The emperor frowned, and said, "As I wish, Xiaobai will be conferred the title of Concubine Hui, and the body will be sent back to the capital for a proper burial."

Wu Quan thought of the cause of Xiao Bai's death, and said more solemnly, "I obey the order."

Not knowing whether it was because of the emperor's visit, or because she was too tired, Qian Xiyao just fell asleep again, and did not open her eyes until noon.

While helping Qian Xiyao to clean up, Xiang'er told Qian Xiyao the news she found out, "It is said that Liu Guiren was in the same room with Tong Cairen at the time, so she was spared, but at the moment, she is out of her mind. Cleared up, the words will not come out, Tong Cairen can feel better, just keep crying."

Qian Xiyao sighed and said, "It's so pitiful." She never thought that death was so close to her, and although she didn't necessarily like Fang Guiren and Xiao Bai's family, but knowing that they died just like that, she still felt a little unspeakable. Desolate and sad.

Xiang'er continued, "The assassin wore a human skin mask and pretended to be Fang Guiren's court lady, and lured his accomplices in. When he got up at night, Fang Guiren discovered him and killed Fang Guiren. Later, he was arrested by Mr. Wu The one was upright, but the other accomplices ran away and hid in the well mouth in the yard. Ma'am, you know that well, it's dark, and a few people soaked it all day with wooden boards, and they dared not move at night. Mr. Wu and Deng My lord has been prepared for a long time, so how can I let them succeed? I just couldn't find a hiding place during the day, but in the end I was about to catch them all. Who knew that Xiao Bai suddenly appeared in the yard and was caught by those assassins. As a hostage, Xiao Bai insisted that His Majesty the Emperor be called over."

Qian Xiyao was shocked, "And then?" This process sounds very strange even now, it can be seen that she was shocked at that time.

"Your Majesty, do you know why Xiao Bai appeared there?"

"why?"
