After Song Qi left, Cao Cao didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he went straight to the study.

"Meng De... are you blaming yourself?" Bu Nian followed Cao Cao, "Do you think that Empress Song's imprisonment has something to do with you?"

Although unwilling to admit it, Cao Cao nodded.

"In this confrontation, someone will always have to sacrifice. I'm afraid that I will be defeated in the end, and everyone in the Song and Cao families will suffer."

After all, the imperial power is supreme.

No matter what the starting point is, it is always the king who is in charge of judging in the end.

Whether he is wise or stupid.No one can outlaw his position.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, raised his hand and punched the wall beside him.

"Meng De!" Bu Nian exclaimed, and hurriedly looked at the back of Cao Cao's hand.

——It was the injured right hand.

Although the scarred back of the hand was wrapped with a brown cloth at this time, traces of blood seeping out could still be seen.

"Cao Mengde, you are sick!" Bu Nian couldn't help scolding: "Why are you making things difficult for yourself! This hand has been tossed like this by you back then, don't you know it hurts?!"

Cao Cao bowed his head and remained silent.

Bu Nian sighed helplessly: "It's not a matter of a day or two for Empress Song to fall out of favor. It's not necessarily all related to your investigation of Zhang Rang. Maybe it's just that the emperor intends to abolish the empress. Besides, the emperor has received so much from you." He has turned a deaf ear to Zhang Rang's crimes, and with Zhang Rang's character, why bother to curry favor with any nobleman? He has the emperor's backing, so what is he afraid of?"

Cao Cao froze slightly.

Yes.What is Zhang Rang afraid of?What are you worried about?

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Cao Cao raised his head with a swipe, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his dark eyes.

"The emperor will not depose the queen for no reason. After all, he wants to measure the power of the Song family. It must be Zhang Rang! What is he worried about, what is he afraid of!" Cao Cao excitedly pushed open the study door, and walked straight to the pile of bamboo tubes: "Everyone Almost all the evidence of the crime was presented to the emperor, but Zhang Rang still tried to win over the Cao Mansion several times. He was too soft, so he chose to join forces with He Guiren. I must have missed something crucial!"

Cao Cao looked at the bamboo tubes piled up like a hill over and over again, and he didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only stand quietly by the door.

The sky was gradually turning pale, and the piles of bamboo tubes were about to be turned over, but Cao Cao was still unable to find any useful evidence.

Cao Cao unfurled a bamboo tube again with some annoyance.

The record on this bamboo tube is very simple: the general Dou Wu rebelled and was killed by Zhang Rang.

Dou Wu.

Cao Cao is not very familiar with this person, he is from his father's generation.I just heard that he is very honest and close to the people.At the beginning, Dou Wu, who was a general, and Tai Fu Chen Fan's joint rebellion shocked the government and the public, but Cao Cao was in Dunqiu at that time, and these things were heard from Xiahou Dun and his family letter.

Was he killed by Zhang Rang when he rebelled...

"Meng De, it's dawn. You just want to go to court early, let's enter the palace together." Bu Nian yawned and said.

Cao Cao came back to his senses, only to realize that Bu Nian followed him all night without sleep.He nodded apologetically, followed Bu Nian out of the house, and stuffed the bamboo tube into his collar casually.After checking and checking, the only thing left with doubts is this matter.



Entering the palace this time, I don't want to meet palace maids or eunuchs who actively and attentively stepped forward to lead the way.

"It seems that the news that Empress Song was thrown into limbo is true..." Bu Nian let out a long sigh in frustration.

After entering the palace, she asked several maids, but as soon as Queen Song was mentioned, the maids all faltered and shoved away.

The three words Empress Song have become subjects that cannot be talked about.

Leng Gong ah... how to get out?

Before entering the palace, she never expected such a situation to happen.

"Hello." Behind him, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

Don't want to turn around, and unexpectedly found that it was Liu Xie.

"It's you, little prince." Bu Nian asked with a little worry: "Why are you here? You were bullied by the people in the palace again?

Liu Xie looked down at himself with dirty eyes, and said old-fashionedly: "You are looking for the cold palace? You want to see the queen who was thrown into the cold palace, right? Let's go, I will take you there."

After all, Liu Xie trotted a few steps to the front of Bu Nian.Seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, he waved his hand in dissatisfaction and urged: "Hurry up!"

Don't read it, I really don't understand Liu Xie's character.

When we first met, he hid under the rockery and cried miserably, and when he saw him, he called his mother.Later, he was punished by He Guiren together with the prince. Seeing that he was obviously very excited, but he insisted on pretending not to know each other.After that, I also looked for him a few times, but he was kicked out by calling him a "bad guy".

now……

But he took the initiative to lead the way.

Bu Nian hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in the direction of Liu Xie.It's just a five or six-year-old child, even if he has some bad intentions, he can't do anything to himself, right?Don't think about it secretly.

After walking for a while, one could see the desolate walls inside the magnificent palace. Not only the long pillars and vermilion paint had fallen off, but even the long corridors were somewhat dilapidated, and there was not a single person serving in the palace.

"It's right here. Come out quickly, don't let He Guiren's eyes and ears notice." Liu Xie pointed to the dilapidated hut in front of him with some twists and turns.

Nodding gratefully: "Thank you."

Without being suspicious, he walked towards the house without thinking.

Pushing open the door, a damp breath rushed in, and countless dust floated in the air.Bu Nian hurriedly covered her nose with her hand, but was still a step too late, inhaled a lot of dust, and coughed again and again.The house was too gloomy and cold, and it smelled of mildew. It was obvious at a glance that few people took care of it and lived in it.

As if hearing the movement, the woman on the bed in the room trembled slightly: "Your Majesty?"

Bu Nian recognized that it was Empress Song's voice, and happily took a few steps forward: "Empress."

Seeing that the visitor didn't want to read it, Empress Song's eyes were obviously dimmed, but then she showed a gratified smile: "No way. I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

Bu Nian walked to the bedside in disbelief.

Empress Song is not good-looking, but she is also considered pretty and pleasant.I can still vividly remember the appearance of wearing a phoenix crown to honor the world.

But in front of...

This is a very thin and disordered woman.

Is she really still Empress Song?

"Queen..." Bu Nian's voice couldn't help but choked up, he knelt down and said, "Queen, what's going on? Didn't you go well a few days ago?"

A wry smile emerged from the corner of Empress Song's mouth: "He Guiren had nightmares every night in the past few days. Zhang Rang joined forces with more than a dozen eunuchs favored by the emperor to say that someone had cast witchcraft on He Guiren. Finally, my palace was searched. In the midst of the investigation, the criminal evidence was found. The emperor said that I used witchcraft to curse He Guiren, and in a fit of anger..."
