Quick Wear: After the charming host got pregnant, the boss spoiled her like crazy

Chapter 267: Cold-blooded and Domineering Emperor Without Heir x Delicate and Pregnant Concubine 60

The next morning, Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Justice took his men to the outskirts of the city to find Zhao Cuzi.

When they arrived, Zhao Guizi was watering the flowers. Lord Zhang did not have the patience to wait for him to finish, so he grabbed the skinny old man and threw him on his horse.

"Let's go into the palace." Lord Zhang jumped on the horse, lifted the reins, and the horse immediately galloped forward.

Zhao Guizi was caught off guard by Lord Zhang's sudden action, but his face did not show much surprise.

He steadied his body and let Lord Zhang throw him onto the horse, but in his heart he was thinking about Lord Zhang's anxiety.

"Master Zhang, why is this happening?" Zhao Guizi asked on horseback, with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

Lord Zhang did not turn around, but replied coldly: "Mr. Zhao, the palace has urgently summoned you. The matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed."

Zhao Guizi's heart trembled, he realized that this visit to the palace might be related to Shen Nian's case.

He did not ask any more questions, but sat quietly on the horse, allowing the horse to gallop quickly towards the palace under the control of Lord Zhang.

The palace gate slowly opened, and Lord Zhang took Zhao Quezi straight to the imperial study.

Chen Jinxuan and Shen Nian had been waiting for a long time at Concubine An's residence. When Shen Nian saw Zhao Quezi being brought in by Lord Zhang, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Mr. Zhao, you are finally here." Shen Nian took a step forward, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Zhao Quezi nodded, he understood his mission at the moment. He turned to Lord Zhang and asked in a deep voice: "Lord Zhang, I wonder why the palace has urgently summoned you?"

Lord Zhang did not answer directly, but looked at Prime Minister Shen, indicating that he would explain the situation. Prime Minister Shen stepped forward and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Zhao, we suspect that the cause of death of the woman in the Ministry of Justice is related to the palace. We need your help in the investigation."

Zhao Quezi was shocked. He realized that the complexity of this investigation was far beyond his imagination. He took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand. I will do my best."

Shen Nian looked at Zhao Quezi, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. She knew that with Zhao Quezi's help, they were one step closer to the truth.

Zhao Quezi carefully examined the crime scene and found a trace of blood on the leg of a chair.

He remembered that the corpse had a slight scratch on its forehead, probably caused by the collision.

"Empress Qing, Qingle has been brought in."

Shen Nian and Chen Jinxuan were watching Zhao Quezi inspecting the scene when suddenly a young eunuch came in and reported to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian nodded slightly, signaling the eunuch to bring Qingle in. She knew that Qingle was the personal maid of the woman from the Ministry of Justice, and should be familiar with her daily whereabouts and habits.

When Qingle was brought in, she looked a little nervous and uneasy. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Shen Nian and Chen Jinxuan. Shen Nian spoke gently: "Qingle, you don't have to be afraid. We just want to understand your mother's daily life, maybe we can find some clues from it."

Qingle raised her head with a firm look in her eyes: "My queen, I am willing to do my best to help find the murderer who killed my queen."

Zhao Quezi was observing Qingle's reaction from the side. He noticed that when Qingle mentioned Anpin, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He had an idea that he might be able to get some key information from Qingle.

"Qingle, did your mother have any abnormal behavior or come into contact with any special people before the accident?" asked Zhao Guizi.

Qingle thought for a moment, then slowly said, "The queen was indeed a little uneasy a few days before the accident. She once mentioned that someone in the palace had ill intentions towards her, but she did not specify who it was."

Shen Nian and Chen Jinxuan looked at each other, they knew that this might be the key clue to the case.

Shen Nian turned to Zhao Quezi: "Mr. Zhao, do you think this bloodstain and Qingle's testimony can point to something?"

Zhao Quezi pondered for a moment, then replied: "This bloodstain and Qingle's testimony do provide us with new clues.

We need to investigate further to see if anyone had contact with the woman from the Ministry of Justice before and after the incident."
