Chapter 495
The emperor frowned slightly, this holy spirit well is not an ordinary well, if something happened here, it would be terrible.

While anxious, a eunuch's voice came: "The Empress Dowager has arrived—"

The emperor greeted her and said, "My respects to the Queen Mother."

"Excuse me," said the Queen Mother, who was still dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but her face was full of worry, "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, we must investigate it!"

"My son knows."

The Queen said: "This well was named by the Empress Dowager Taizu. It is a thousand-year-old spiritual spring. There has never been such a phenomenon. It must be strictly investigated."

The queen mother nodded and said: "Thirty years ago, this well also spewed out water. Not long after, King Ding rebelled, and the people were devastated. After several suppressions, this disaster was finally put to rest."

Thirty years later, when the Queen Mother mentioned the cruelty of that war, she still had lingering fears in her heart.

Fortunately, King Ding was shot to death by random arrows during the war 30 years ago, otherwise, the Queen Mother might have trouble sleeping and eating again.

The emperor said sternly: "When the queen mother mentioned this matter, the minister also remembered it. It seems that there must be something hidden in it."

The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not a good omen. You must be cautious and don't be careless."

From her eyes, the emperor faintly sensed that the empress dowager meant that he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.

"My son knows."

The Queen said: "Your Majesty, this well is the Holy Spirit Well in the harem. The concubines cannot absolve themselves of the responsibility for this matter, so they are willing to invite Ying."

"Queen," the emperor said flatly, "This matter is related to the country and the country, and the harem does not need to intervene."

Concubine Rou said: "Your Majesty, my concubine believes that the harem cannot intervene in court affairs, but the empress can investigate in the harem. The empress dowager also said that this matter is too important to take lightly."

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, the empress said to the empress dowager again: "Empress mother, the concubines also feel that the harem should also be thoroughly investigated."

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this is a major matter, and we must not take it lightly."

The emperor saw that the queen mother had spoken, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

The queen said: "The concubine is willing to take on this great task."

The emperor said: "Yes."

The queen hurriedly thanked her, with a gloomy smile in the corner of her eyes.

Concubine Rou looked at the queen, and couldn't help showing a treacherous smile on her face, it seemed that everything was under their control.

The next day, in the morning, Lin Qinghe and Huang Zhiyuan packed up and saluted, and were about to return to the Lin residence. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw the general guarding the palace gate saying, "Your Highness, County Lord Lin, the Empress has an order that no one is allowed to leave." Palace."

Huang Zhiyuan frowned, and said, "Isn't this king not allowing it?"

"Yes."

Lin Qinghe said lightly: "Understood."

Then they returned to Fengling Palace together with Huang Zhiyuan, Lin Qinghe's complexion was a little heavy, and he said: "It seems that things are not that simple this time, hehe, Zhiyuan, I'm afraid we have encountered a problem."

Huang Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and said, "He'er, do you think that the incident of the bloody Holy Spirit Spring is caused by someone plotting it?"

Lin Qinghe nodded, and said: "That's right, I didn't notice it at first, but now that the queen has given such an order, I can feel it. I'm afraid this matter will implicate us."

Huang Zhiyuan said: "What does this spring water have to do with us?"

"I have already inquired about it. Thirty years ago, this spring also gushed out. Then, when King Ding committed crimes, the civil strife in the dynasty began. It took a full year of war before the court quelled the dispute."

"He'er, are you worried that someone will use this incident to frame us again?"

Lin Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, I've already noticed it."
