The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 66

"Little lady, where are you going!" Li Ye, who came into the palace early in the morning to chat with Li Longji, saw Chang Xi walking past the imperial garden worriedly, rubbing his chin and teasing him, like a little pervert.

Chang Xi said dejectedly: "I don't have time to talk to you!"

"You!" Li Ye stared angrily, then put on the airs of a prince, and said indifferently: "You little palace maid, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Chang Xi knew that he was scaring herself again, and hurriedly said: "I really don't have time to talk to you this morning! Your Majesty was assassinated last night, and this morning he will call all the ladies of the palace to the Qinzheng Building to find out. How many people have been implicated, you are still talking nonsense with me!"

Li Ye was taken aback, and quickly asked, "How is third brother?"

Chang Xi said: "There is no danger!"

Li Ye said: "The assassin caught it! Who is so bold, dare to assassinate His Majesty in Xingqing Palace!"

Chang Xi frowned, and said, "It looks like they are two maids of honor!"

"Two maids?!" Li Ye said in surprise, "Why did they assassinate the third brother!"

Chang Xi said: "I don't know either, but His Majesty thinks that this is caused by the concubine's competition for favor in the harem, so this morning, the key criminals will be interrogated in the Qinzheng Building to find out the facts of the case!"

Li Ye murmured in confusion: "How could the struggle for favor in the harem affect the third brother?"

Chang Xi remained silent, remembering that a few days ago, she strongly advocated getting rid of Concubine Li's think tank, Beauty Wang. This time, Li Longji was assassinated by Beauty Wang. He designed it by himself, and since the servant Gong'e has been dismissed, if he really wants to kill Li Longji, he can kill Li Longji directly with a dagger, and use a rope to strangle him, wouldn't it be superfluous!It can be seen that the purpose of the assassin is not to kill Li Longji at all, but most likely to frame Wang Meiren!

Seeing that she was silent, Li Ye patted her on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking! Where are you going now?"

Chang Xi said: "I am ordered by the empress to go to the Shang Palace Bureau to invite Qu Shanggong, who is a perfumer, to let her go to Qinzheng Palace together."

Li Ye said: "It's a big deal, it's worth your trip, just send a servant to pass it on!"

"The empress personally ordered that Qu Shanggong is going to testify about this matter today, just in case, please ask me to invite him in person!" Chang Xi and Li Ye said as they walked side by side.

Li Ye said: "This king will accompany you there, and then go to the Qinzheng Building with you!"

The two first came to Qushang Palace, and then went to Qinzheng Building together. As soon as they reached the wooden steps from the first floor to the second floor, they heard Li Longji shout angrily: "Say it quickly! Who told you not to keep watch tonight?" !"

Li Ye brought Chang Xi and others into the palace, and saw that including Wang Meiren and a dozen maids in her palace, all kneeling on the ground, the little maid who was reprimanded by Li Longji was kneeling at the front for trial. His face was covered with tears.

Seeing Li Ye coming in, Li Longji nodded and said, "Fifth Brother, you are here!"

Li Ye said: "Third brother, did you have nothing to do last night?"

Li Longji gave a sigh of relief, and said to Gao Lishi: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb the three kings and ministers about my assassination!"

Just as Gao Lishi wanted to explain, Li Ye hurriedly said: "The younger brother came to the palace this morning to talk to the third brother and only then did he know, it has nothing to do with Eunuch Gao!"

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Ye gratefully.

Li Longji didn't pursue the matter anymore, but just looked at the shivering court ladies on the ground. The two court ladies who participated in the assassination of him last night, and a little court lady frightened to death in the inner prison last night!The other lady in black was very recalcitrant, she just bit her lips tightly and did not speak.The one being interrogated now is Ke'er, the court lady who was supposed to keep watch that night.

The night guard maid named Ke'er stammered and said: "Sister Mengyao, the maid in charge of the Palace of Beauty, told the servants not to keep watch tonight!"

"Oh?!" Li Longji said, "Identify it yourself, which one is it!"

The maid raised her hand tremblingly, pointing to the maid in black whose hands were cut behind her back.

The maid in black said proudly: "It's me! You don't need to interrogate anymore?! Emperor dog, you killed my whole family, I wish I could bite you to pieces!!" She spat hard.

"Bold!" With a loud slap in the face, Gao Lishi rushed forward and gave the woman a slap in the face.There was a palm print on Mengyao's delicate and tender skin, and traces of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

Chang Xi looked at the unparalleled beauty of the black-clothed maid in front of her, and her heart moved. She remembered the conversation between Wang Meiren and the mysterious man that she heard at the Longchi that day. This bright and charming woman was the mysterious man who wanted to be placed beside Wang Meiren. Maid of honor!So, his master was the mastermind of the whole thing?Then who is this person!

Originally, she guessed that Li Longji was assassinated by the queen in order to get rid of Wang Meiren. Then she thought, this kind of idea is too risky, and being caught is a serious crime of killing everyone. The queen should not be so stupid!So who is it?This time, Chang Xi's head grew into two!
Li Longji dismissed her cursing, and said with a sneer, "How did I kill your whole family?"

The woman's eyes were broken and she said: "I was originally the daughter of a peasant family in the outskirts of the capital, and my parents were farmers who worked in peace of mind, but I was killed by the remnants of your party who frantically treated you as a princess of Taiping! I entered the palace at the age of 12 and was in the palace bureau After five years as a little palace maid, she finally had the opportunity to be transferred to Wang Meiren's bedroom, where she was in charge and wanted to kill you, but it was a pity that all her achievements fell short in the end!!"

Li Longji snorted coldly, this woman hated herself so much, she couldn't find out what was behind the scenes.

Sure enough, the woman looked up to the sky and yelled haha, cursing: "I, Lu Mengyao, even if I am a ghost, I can't spare you, you stupid king! Pfft!" Half of her tongue spit out from her mouth, her mouth was full of blood, she fell on her back to the ground, her body convulsed After a few pumps, he died.

Li Longji looked at her body and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Drag it!"

Chang Xi saw such a bloody scene early in the morning, and felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to look at the mottled blood on the ground, so she subconsciously hid behind Li Ye, so happy that Li Ye's mouth opened a beautiful arc, and the corners of his eyes also hung up. smiled.

Li Longji said: "Beauty Wang, what's your explanation?"

Wang Meiren's hairpins were scattered, and she walked to Li Longji's case on her knees, weeping for a few lines, crying: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my concubines!"

Li Longji said: "Isn't she your maid in charge!"

Wang Mei said humanely: "Although she is the concubine's maid in charge, she was only distributed to the concubine by the Shang Palace Bureau yesterday. The concubine really doesn't know that she has such evil intentions and uses her body as a concubine to approach His Majesty with the intention of assassinating her. It's really unfair!"

Li Longji was suspicious, could it be that Wang Meiren really invited him to the bedroom on purpose yesterday, all this was just a coincidence, and this court lady was eager to take revenge and took advantage of this opportunity!
Seeing that Li Longji was moved by her, Wang Meiren turned her head and asked Cui Shanggong of Shanggong Bureau, "What did you do! How dare you assign such an unknown female assassin to my palace! What should you do!"
