Contract Prince

Chapter 180 Clues

Xiao Zhan nodded, but then hesitated for a moment, very puzzled: "Then we should start with the ingredients of the dim sum. Son-in-law, you know that the royal chef and maids are innocent, why did you send them to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Gu Yunjing smiled: "Your Highness, I asked you to assist me in investigating the case for the purpose of training you. Naturally, you have to observe many things carefully. Your Highness believes in me, and I will never wrong any good person."

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood the good intentions of the son-in-law. He patted his forehead and apologized a little: "My son-in-law, I'm sorry..."

Gu Yunjing said: "Your Highness is right, why do you need to apologize? The ingredients and snacks I mentioned just now are a clue. You send someone to investigate and investigate. I will take care of other aspects."

After all, she squinted her eyes, as if thinking about countermeasures against the enemy.

Depin arranged eyeliner in the palace, and this eyeliner told her everything that happened in the palace.The seductive woman sipped tea, scratched her long fingernails across the teacup, and slowly spit out a sentence from her mouth: "Oh? Xiao Zhan sent the relevant people to jail before he found out the name? It doesn't seem like his style."

The maid beside her whispered, "I don't know the details, but this is what the spies found."

Concubine Li Gui said: "Sending the royal chef and maids to Dali Temple for interrogation will waste a lot of time. It seems that I have to add oil and vinegar."

The maid next to her asked, "What does the empress want to do?"

Debi smiled, a little creepy: "Throw this poisoned cat out. Xiao Zhan's brain is not too stupid. Seeing this poisoned cat, he should be able to think of something."

"The slaves obey."

"Since Concubine Li's people are looking for cats everywhere, we will return this cat to her. I believe she will be very happy to receive this great gift."

The maid instantly understood what Depin meant, and after she left, Depin began to drink tea leisurely again.She was in a good mood, and she kept imagining in her mind the scene where Concubine Li Gui was imprisoned, and Xiao Zhan and Xiao Cong were completely torn apart.

Before Gu Yunjing had time to go to Dali Temple to listen to the case, he discovered a major clue. The clue came from a poisoned and comatose cat. The symptoms of this cat were exactly the same as those of the empress.

This cat is raised by Concubine Li. It is a precious breed, lively and well-behaved. The relationship between Concubine Li and it is very good.The cat disappeared for two days without reason, and Concubine Li sent palace people to search everywhere, but to no avail.Concubine Li was extremely anxious, wishing to dig every inch of the palace three feet into the ground.

Concubine Li has a violent temper. After losing her beloved cat, she was in a particularly bad mood, and from time to time she abused and punished the court ladies and eunuchs.

On this day, she asked the maids and eunuchs to look for the cat in the palace, and said bitterly that if the cat was not found, the maids and eunuchs would not have to come back to see her again.

This is clearly the rhythm to kill people.

The maids and eunuchs had no choice but to look for it. Just when they thought there was no hope, the bad situation suddenly turned around because they found Concubine Li's pet cat.

Before the big guys had time to laugh, a moment later, each of them was crying again, as if they were mourning.The expression is more sad than when he didn't find the cat before.

Because the cat they found was a dead cat, lying motionless in a corner, cold all over.

The maids were all trembling, but it was impossible to hide the matter at this point, they had to tell Concubine Li the truth.

Concubine Li Gui came here impatiently, seeing her beloved cat motionless, she was deeply saddened.I can't wait to kill these court ladies and eunuchs now, if they didn't find them in time, my pets wouldn't end up like this.

Concubine Li Gui and Xiao Chongzhen are worthy of being mother and son. Their temperaments seem to be carved out of the same mold. Xiao Cong is irritable. As long as any unpleasant things happen to him, he will blame all these responsibilities on his family and even his subordinates on the head.

The same is true for Concubine Li. This time the court ladies and eunuchs are bound to suffer.She squatted down, picked up the pet cat curled up in the corner, and looked at it with infinite love and compassion.

"Death is all your fault. You didn't find it in time! Go and bury it with it one by one!" Concubine Li's voice was full of anger and hatred.

All the maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting uncontrollably: "My lady, please forgive me, my lady, please forgive me..."

Concubine Li didn't pay any attention to the pleadings of the palace people, her eyes and thoughts were all locked on this little cat.He picked up the little cat and walked to his bedroom.

After Xiao Zhan and Gu Yunjing heard a mournful sound, they followed the sound.

After seeing Xiao Zhan, the palace people around him quickly saluted him.

Xiao Zhan asked: "What's going on here? What are you doing kneeling on the ground and crying?"

A palace talent tremblingly said: "His Royal Highness King An, one of Concubine Li's cats died unexpectedly, and she insisted on putting all the responsibility on the slaves. I hope that His Highness King An will be merciful and merciful, and save the lives of slaves..."

Another person said: "Yes, the accidental death of the imperial concubine's cat has nothing to do with us."

"I beseech His Highness Wang An to be the master..."

Xiao Zhan knew Concubine Li's temper, so he asked, "How does Concubine Li plan to punish you?"

Although he knew Concubine Li's temperament, King An still underestimated the viciousness of this woman.He originally thought that Concubine Li Gui would punish these palace servants at most, and if she was more ruthless, she would directly drag them down, and each of them would hit forty slaps.

But when he learned from the court ladies that Concubine Li Gui had already made the decision to execute them, Xiao Zhan was shocked. It was just a dead cat, so how could people's lives be so reckless?

The benevolent His Royal Highness King An was instantly furious.What Concubine Li had done in the harem these years was something that Xiao Zhan could not understand.It's just that his father, Emperor Xiao Guan, defended him back then, no matter how much Xiao Zhan hated the imperial concubine, he didn't dare to do anything to her.

But now the situation has changed drastically, and Xiao Zhan's status is no longer what it was before. He is now the ruler of the Xiao Kingdom, and he is qualified to question Concubine Li.

"You guys get up first, this king will make the decision for you. So let people summon Concubine Li Gui to come and question her."

When Concubine Li Gui returned to her bedroom, she was very sad. She didn't want to see anyone, she didn't want to talk to anyone, she just wanted to be with her pet cat.So when Xiao Zhan sent someone to pass on the message, the palace servant was directly blocked outside Concubine Li's bedroom.

"Concubine Li, His Royal Highness King An has an urgent matter to summon you. I hope you will cooperate and don't make things difficult for the servants."

"Go back, our lady is not feeling well and doesn't want to see anyone."

The attendants stationed outside Li Guifei's bedroom replied casually, although they knew that Xiao Zhan is not what he used to be, but the most powerful person in their hearts is still King Zhao Xiao Cong.These people believed that Xiao Zhan took over the power by virtue of his status as the eldest son. If it was true in terms of power, he was obviously far behind King Zhao.

Because of her master's bossy orders, her subordinates were also arrogant and arrogant, and they didn't have the slightest respect for the people sent by His Royal Highness King An.

"His Royal Highness An ordered that Concubine Li must go!" Xiao Zhan's followers directly confronted the people stationed in Concubine Li's bedroom.

"Hehe, you are quite loud. If our lord finds out that you are persecuting the concubine and empress, do you know what the consequences will be?" The people in the first palace smiled fiercely, "If you are sensible, go, where are you going back and forth? Don't disturb me. Our mother."
