I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Su Minglang was secretly delighted in her heart. Such changes did not occur in her previous life. She thought that it was because she asked someone to bring a message back that the Su family went to see His Majesty and that this change occurred.

As for meeting his parents? Su Minglang didn't care about that at all.

"Father will also bring his younger brother with him. I haven't seen him for a long time since the last time I left him."

"I guess Lord Wen will bring his wife with him?" Su Minglang joked, but she was really happy for the Queen. She knew very well that although the Queen seemed to be second only to the Queen in the harem, she was actually just a poor person who was neglected.

If she had given up on that man as early as Su Minglang had, perhaps she could have lived a happier life.

In the previous life, the Queen's illness was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and she became seriously ill earlier than Xiao Heng expected. Perhaps it was because she was depressed all day long.

"Yes, my mother and I also..."

The sound of Liu An knocking on the door interrupted their conversation, "Your Majesty, Lord Li wants to see you."

"Lord Li?" The queen didn't react for a moment.

"But is it Lord Li Zhao from the Dali Temple?" Su Minglang frowned and asked.

The good mood just now was instantly shattered by the arrival of this uninvited guest.

"Reporting to Her Majesty Zhaoyi, it is indeed that Lord Li."

"Let him in!" The queen was obviously a little unhappy.

"Since you have official business to attend to, I will take my leave first." Su Minglang knew that Li Zhao came to see the Queen for official business assigned by the Emperor, so she stood up and wanted to leave to avoid suspicion.

"No hurry, wait until he tells you why." The Queen waved her hand to stop Su Minglang's actions, "This Lord Li is well-known, and I am really tired of dealing with him."

"Then I will stay for now. But if it is really urgent, I will leave immediately."

"I know, I know!" The Queen looked at her with amusement, "I knew that you would run away the fastest when you saw trouble."

"Your humble servant greets the Empress." Li Zhao stopped three feet away, his eyes narrowed and then shone brightly, "Su Zhaoyi, we meet again."

"Huh? Have you met him already?" The Queen looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Yes, I happened to meet Lord Li on the way here." Su Minglang replied frankly.

"No wonder when Liu An mentioned Lord Li just now, you immediately realized that he was talking about the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. It turns out that you have met him before." The Queen looked suddenly enlightened.

"Yes! If Lord Li hadn't blocked the way, I wouldn't have come so late." Su Minglang unceremoniously threw the pot that had made the Queen wait for so long onto Li Zhao.

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but did not refute her words, "It's my fault."

The Queen Mother naturally did not delve into the matter. She put away her smile and said seriously, "I wonder why Lord Li came here?"

Li Zhao did not answer the Queen's question, but instead asked, "Have you heard about the death of a palace maid in Taiji Palace a few days ago?"

"Hmm?" The Queen frowned instantly. "Isn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigating this matter? Why did it also alert the Dali Temple?"

"I am not here to investigate this matter. I am here to investigate the identity of that palace maid."

"Identity?" The queen was even more confused when she heard that.

"Originally, when a maid died in the palace, her belongings would usually be sent back home by someone she knew. If there were no friends, they would be buried together. That girl was a poor person and didn't have many friends around her, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked a maid from her hometown to send her back. But the maid insisted that there was no such family in that place at all."

"Coincidentally, the maid from the same hometown happened to live next to the deceased's registered residence."

"Master Li, is this what you want?" The Queen's frown did not relax. "Perhaps the maid felt that dead people's things were unlucky, so she lied?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs did think so, but the maid was stubborn and said no, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs realized something was wrong and reported it to His Majesty."

"What I want to investigate this time is the falsification of the palace maid's household registration."

"Has it been confirmed to be a fake? Perhaps the maid has been away from home for so long that she can't remember it clearly?"

"As soon as I received the news, I sent someone to investigate as quickly as possible. The news I received confirmed that what the palace maid said was true."

Hearing that the matter was finalized, the queen instantly flew into a rage and slammed the table, "Nonsense! How dare you fake such an important matter? Are you really not afraid of losing your life!"

"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Su Minglang felt that she could not stay any longer. Although she was the one who passed the information about the household registration to Li Zhao, her status made it impossible for her to get involved in this matter.

What's more, she had no right to speak on such a major matter.

The queen pondered for a moment and felt that it was indeed against the rules to let Su Minglang stay any longer. Moreover, such a scandal should be known to as few people as possible. Fortunately, she was not a gossipy person.

"Okay, then you just..."

"Wait!" Li Zhao interrupted the Queen, "Your Majesty, this matter involves a wide range of palaces. It is impossible to keep it secret. If the news spreads and we still try to cover it up, people with ulterior motives will think too much."

"Su Zhaoyi's popularity in the palace isn't very good," Li Zhao suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Why not let her listen? If there are any clues, I don't think she would protect her just for the sake of friendship."

"Well, what Lord Li said makes sense." The Queen nodded. She was already weak, and her anger had just overwhelmed her, making her already weak body even more short of breath. It would be better if she had someone around to give her advice on this matter.

"Just stay here. Don't worry. I will take care of this matter for you. If anyone blames you, just say it was my intention."

"This..." Although Su Minglang was extremely reluctant, she could not offend the Queen at this time. Moreover, she could see that the Queen's already pale face became even more miserable. It seemed that she was really angry.

"Then I will stay for the time being." Su Minglang nodded helplessly and sat back down. When she looked up, she saw Li Zhao raising his eyebrows at her with a smile.

Su Minglang gritted his teeth secretly and glared at him without hesitation.

"Master Li, please continue. What else did the Dali Temple find out?"

"Reporting to the queen." Li Zhao didn't care about the cruelty in Su Minglang's eyes at all. He retracted his gaze and said seriously: "In fact, the Dali Temple has already found clues. It will take a long time to catch those villains in one fell swoop."

"The difficulty lies with the maids who were sent to the palace. They have been here for a long time, and we don't even know which palace they were sent to. If we compare them one by one according to their household registration, the number will be endless."

"That is why I have the guts to ask Your Majesty for help."
