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

"I am powerless to investigate this kind of case. Although I have always been in charge of the household affairs, most of these matters are handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those guys don't have any great skills except for torture and interrogation."

The Queen rubbed her forehead with a headache, "What does His Majesty mean?"

"Your Majesty..." When Xiao Heng was mentioned, even Li Zhao frowned. "Your Majesty was very angry when he heard this, but he didn't issue an official decree. That's why I came to ask the Queen if you have any solution."

"Lord Li means that His Majesty will punish the victim severely?" Su Minglang immediately understood the meaning of Li Zhao's words.

He said that Xiao Heng was very angry, so naturally the words he said would not be so nice. In addition, Li Zhao immediately exposed the fact that a palace maid had died in Taiji Palace. It was likely that Xiao Heng wanted to put the blame on those people who trafficked in women.

Su Minglang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Zhao, then set his sights in front of the queen, "Your Majesty, the New Year is not far away, and it is inappropriate to start a war in the palace at this time."

"Besides, we are about to pray for blessings, so I'm afraid it's not good to shed blood." Su Minglang paused and looked at Li Zhao again before speaking: "I guess this is why Lord Li came to you for help?"

"That's right!" Li Zhao glanced at Su Minglang with interest and said, "I also think this is a serious matter. After all, the affairs of the harem are managed by the queen, and I am an outsider. If I want to find clues from the harem, I have to rely on the queen's help."

"At present, the imperial decree has not been issued yet, so there is still room for maneuver." Li Zhao suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Su Minglang, "Perhaps as long as we can prove that the death of the palace maid has nothing to do with this matter, we may be able to get a good ending."

Hearing that he was going to investigate the palace maid, Su Minglang frowned obscurely, "Taiji Palace is the emperor's bedroom. If the death of the palace maid was not an accident, then all the palace maids, eunuchs, and even the guards and servants will be held accountable."

"Is everything that happened really what Lord Li wanted?" Su Minglang raised her eyes and asked back. She didn't want Li Zhao to delve into this matter too deeply. Although she had nothing to do with it, if Li Zhao really found out that this matter was related to Concubine Gu, and then involved Li's affairs, it would be even worse.

"I naturally do not want to implicate too many people. I wonder what your Majesty Zhaoyi has to say?"

"I am just a woman, what opinion can I have on this kind of thing?" Su Minglang smiled and said slowly, "I am just afraid that if Lord Li investigates rashly, he will find something that he shouldn't."

"What Su Zhaoyi said makes some sense." The queen nodded. After all, she had been in the harem for many years. She didn't believe that there were no dirty things in this place. But even if those things really happened, as long as they were buried and no one mentioned them, they would naturally be forgotten after three to five years.

What's more, among those dirty things there might really be some things that shouldn't and dare not be exposed to the water.

"It's not appropriate to investigate in a high-profile manner, and it's not realistic to investigate in secret." The Queen shook her head in pain and looked at Su Minglang helplessly, "But Your Majesty wants to get some results. Su Zhaoyi, can you give me some advice?"

"I really don't know anything about these things." Su Minglang waved her hand embarrassedly, "But if you talk about ideas, I do have an idea that is not an idea."

"Oh?" Before the Queen could speak, Li Zhao asked with interest, "Please enlighten me, Su Zhaoyi."

"If you ask me, it's really unfair to that girl, but it's the only way to prevent the matter from getting worse." Su Minglang sighed slightly, his eyes full of pity, "That girl's death was really untimely, but now, no matter whether her death was unjust or not, it must be right!"

"What do you mean?" The Queen frowned and looked at her disapprovingly. "If there is no hidden story, then it's fine. But if there is a real injustice, do you want her to die with hatred in her heart?"

"Your Majesty, the dead are gone, but the living must continue to live. If Your Majesty is really determined to remove those palace maids with shady backgrounds one by one, so many years have passed, and those guys have sent so many people every year. I'm afraid that if they really do that, the bluestone pavement in this palace will be stained with blood."

Su Minglang's eyes flashed with pity. "As long as the Dali Temple is certain that the girl died accidentally, and then finds some excuse to let the matter go, then more than one life can be saved."

"What's more, Queen." Su Minglang sighed slightly and said, "The death of that girl was tragic, but aren't those girls who were sold into the palace tragic?"

"But..." The Queen gritted her teeth but couldn't open her mouth. "Sir Li, it's really hard for me to help you. I'm afraid I've wasted your time."

"Liu An!" The Queen called out loudly, and Liu An quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Please send them away!" The queen waved her hand weakly, holding her forehead and unwilling to look at them anymore.

"Then I will take my leave first!" Li Zhao had no intention of forcing himself to get up and leave. Although he did not get any help from the Queen, he felt that he had gained something from today's trip. At least he now had a few more mysteries in his mind.

"Empress, are you feeling unwell again?" Su Minglang asked worriedly.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "I am a little tired, Su Zhaoyi, please go back."

Before she finished her words, Liu An was about to go up and chase them away.

"It's just the difference between saving one person and saving ten people." Su Minglang stood up and left. When she reached the door, she turned back and said comfortingly, "I know that Your Majesty is very uneasy about making a decision, but this kind of choice is not a strict question with an answer."

"Or in other words, every choice is an answer, the answer in your heart.

"Was Concubine Su also kicked out?" Su Minglang had just walked out of the inner hall door when he heard Li Zhao's mocking voice from afar.

"The Queen is weak, Lord Li, please don't mind." Su Minglang said with a steady and elegant smile: "I have already bothered the Queen for a long time earlier today. I am afraid that Lord Li's arrival today is not a coincidence."

"Not a coincidence? Is it?" Li Zhao smiled happily and stretched out his hand to signal Su Minglang to look at him. "I think it is a great coincidence that I can meet the Concubine Zhaoyi twice in one day."

"So, why did Lord Li block my way?" Su Minglang really didn't want to stay any longer, and didn't want to have anything to do with this madman.
