Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

"But do you think he is the murderer?"

Although Yan Chu was waiting for further investigation, he had already made up his mind.

"Your father also said that if a person is linked to multiple murders, even if he is just a passerby or someone unrelated, he is highly suspected, let alone a suspect."

"So father also suspects him?"

That's probably it.

Shen Zhishu silently came to a conclusion in his heart.

Because she thought the monk was weird.

"How can such a dangerous person be a holy monk and pray for the royal family? If my father knew, I'm afraid he would be very angry."

A demon who kills people without a trace is doing the most sacred thing, which is an insult to someone who believes in God like the emperor.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will leave the palace, and father will never have the chance to see him again."

Yan Chu was silent for a moment before speaking.

So from what it means, the punishment will be after the Mid-Autumn Festival?

"But if he is the murderer, he is extremely dangerous."

This is a good idea.

How can there be peace where the devil is?

"I will send someone to keep a close eye on him and will not let him cause any trouble."

Yan Chu thought for a moment.

Everyone has entered the palace and the ceremony is halfway through.

Besides, there is no evidence at this time, how can he arrest someone?

Putting all this aside, there is one most important point.

The royal family's reputation and prestige must be maintained at all costs. If the people knew that the royal family invited a murderous demon to pray for the royal family and the world, how would they view the royal family?

After a while, the two finished their meal.

Bitao diligently served the emperor his favorite tea and snacks.

Even the white jade chess set that he had given as a reward was taken away.

It can be said that the preparations have been very thorough.

Shen Zhishu even wanted to praise her for being such a capable person.

"I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll go back first."

But Yan Chu stood up at this moment, with no intention of staying any longer.

Shen Zhishu was a little surprised.

Usually when he came, he would stay for at least half a day.

But now you want to leave after eating?

Before she could react, she had already sent Yan Chu to the entrance of the hall.

"Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have time."

He is out.

As if he remembered something, he turned around and said something again, his tone very gentle.

"Yes, I obey your command."

Shen Zhishu slowly came back to his senses.

Yan Chu had already gone far away.

"What could be the big deal? Why are you leaving so soon? Didn't the emperor love playing chess with the queen the most in the past?"

Bi Tao stood behind her and couldn't help but mutter.

Shen Zhishu also lowered his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment and worry.

The emperor has really changed.

What went wrong? When had he ever angered him? Or was she no longer fresh?

"Has Concubine Wan visited the Emperor recently?"

"You finally remembered to ask? Now the harem is saying that Wanpin has become the emperor's new favorite, and she is the one who enters and leaves the emperor's bedroom the most."

Bitao felt extremely complicated when she saw that her master finally paid attention to the key point.

"And she is the only one. Ever since the emperor named her Wanpin, he seems unwilling to see her."

Bitao's eyes were burning, as if she was silently reminding her master.

Some things really can no longer be ignored, otherwise the problem will only get bigger and bigger.

"It seems that the emperor really likes her."

It seemed that she underestimated the position of Concubine Wan in Yan Chu's heart.

"She looks very much like the Empress..."

"It's just a skin."

The Emperor wouldn't be interested in Concubine Wan just because of her appearance, right?

Shen Zhishu thought that statement was ridiculous.

"It's not the skin of an ordinary person. It's your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are a rare beauty in this world."

Bitao just has that ridiculous idea.

Shen Zhishu remained silent and turned back to the house.

"Your Majesty, we need to find someone we can trust to inquire about Concubine Wan's affairs?"

"Need not."

"Then let's go to the Shangshu Palace and see what the emperor is going to do when he returns."

"How dare you inquire about the emperor's movements? How many brains do you have to chop off?"

"So what do you think we should do?"

This is not allowed, that is not allowed, Bitao is already very impatient.

"Get some sleep first."

She was indeed feeling sleepy at the moment.

She had gotten used to taking naps recently, and as soon as Yan Chu left, she started to feel drowsy.

"My lady..."

"Taking good care of myself and my child is the most important thing. If the emperor wants to ignore me, I can't do anything about it for the time being, right?"

Shen Zhishu was indeed a little worried.

But if the emperor really ignored her at this moment, it would be beneficial to her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and she also needs some time to do what she needs to do.

evening.

After waking up from a nap, Shen Zhishu had some snacks and wanted to go out for a walk.

"Your Majesty, we're going somewhere for a walk anyway, so why don't we go to Taichen Palace and take a look? I wonder what the scene will be like when the Holy Monk Ran recites sutras for the Emperor today?"

When Xiaodie heard that they were going out, her mind immediately became active.

"Not today, but I can go with you tomorrow."

"Why?"

Xiaodie was immediately in a bad mood after being rejected.

"There is something important. We need to go to the cold palace."

She doesn't have much time left.

"That place is very peaceful now, you can go alone..."

Who would have thought that Xiaodie, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would mutter these words in dissatisfaction.

Shen Zhishu was a little surprised.

Look back at her.

Xiaodie also realized later that something was wrong.

Kneel down immediately.

"I deserve to die. I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"If you don't want to go, then go back and stay. Bi Tao, you must monitor her and not leave Kunning Palace."

Was it true that she was too lenient with her on weekdays, allowing her to be so presumptuous?

Shen Zhishu didn't expect Xiaodie to have such thoughts. For the sake of that monk, she even ignored her orders?

At this moment, she is completely brainless.

"My lady..."

"Go back to your room and think about it carefully. If you want to follow that monk, I can ask for permission to become a monk for you."

Xiaodie is smart and skilled in martial arts, and is indeed her right-hand man.

But if these people are not upright and are fickle, she will not keep them no matter how capable they are.

Feeling depressed, she went to the cold palace alone.

Nothing that happened today went smoothly.

She lowered her head and walked slowly, passing several corridors before reaching the cold palace.

She is considered a frequent visitor here.

Shen Zhishu entered the yard quietly, and then followed the path to where Goudan had lived before.

Just as Xiaodie said, the cold palace is very peaceful now. As long as there is no big noise, no one will show up.

I was busy for half an hour.

No one in the cold palace noticed her existence.

The sky was slightly dark, and the wind was cold and piercing.

If I don't go back quickly, it will be really scary to be in this cold palace later.

She groped her way back and prepared to leave quietly.

But just as I walked to the front yard, I suddenly saw two figures.

She subconsciously wanted to step back, but it was too late.

The palace maid fell into the well behind her with a plop.
