The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Although Lu Zhaoling and Yin Changxing did not mention the peach blossom calamity immediately, the expressions of both master and disciple were very wrong, and Zhou Shiyue naturally noticed it.

His expression was also stern.

"I just came out of the palace and didn't meet any strange people."

The way the master and disciple looked at him made him clearly feel that there was something wrong with him.

Lu Xiaoer's face turned green and he stared at him with an expression as if he was going to pounce on him and bite him.

what happened to him?

He was so busy these past two or three days that he had hardly any sleep, but he didn't do anything bad.

The affairs of the Qin family and Minister Feng of the Ministry of Works had already kept him so busy that he had no time to take care of anything else.

While he was busy with court affairs, he was still worried about when Lu Xiaoer would come back.

He would also be worried if she was in the underworld.

Now Minister Feng has had his official hat taken off.

Lord Qin has been promoted and is now Minister Qin.

He was also busy with the affairs of Aunt Yao and her two families who lived in the palace. They had already informed the barbarian tribe of the death of the barbarian envoy and were waiting for the high priest's response.

The emperor insisted on choosing the marriage partner as soon as possible, and then asked the court painter to paint her portrait and send it to the high priest as soon as possible.

It is said that if the high priest saw the portrait and was satisfied with the person she married, he might not pursue the matter of Buhanda's death in the capital.

Because of this incident, there was a huge uproar in the court this morning.

Some ministers felt that the barbarians were just a backward small tribe and could hardly be called a country.

For a great Zhou Dynasty, there is no need to be so humble and try to please them.

It is obvious that Buhanda’s death has nothing to do with their Great Zhou, and the cause of his death has not yet been determined, but no matter what, it has been ruled out that he was killed by people from the Great Zhou.

Buhanda's death was so strange that the Great Zhou could even question the barbarians about what happened.

But there was also a group of ministers who felt that although the barbarians were small and not a big or powerful country, they were too weird and their skills made it difficult to guard against them. If they gave them a beautiful daughter, they could have a better relationship with them. Why not do it?

It's better than offending some people with strange abilities.

And as for that high priest, who knows if he has the ability to harm the fate of the Great Zhou?

Therefore, there was a huge quarrel in the court.

Among these things, there is still the unresolved issue of the prince's poisoning.

Zhou Shiyue went to the palace and visited the Eastern Palace.

He didn't even go back to the palace to see Aunt Yao and others these two days.

Therefore, the way Lu Zhaoling and Yin Changxing looked at him made him frown and go over his itinerary of the past two days and the people he met carefully in his mind.

"Have you come into contact with any women in the palace?" Yin Changxing asked directly.

Zhou Shiyue's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked down at himself and raised his arms, wanting to see if there was anything bad on his body.

But it doesn't.

"No." He answered with certainty.

He walked up to Lu Zhaoling and slowly turned around in front of her.

"A Ling, you can take a closer look. I haven't touched any woman."

Qinglin and Qingfeng also followed. They looked at each other and felt a little strange.

"Miss, the prince really hasn't seen any woman." Qinglin thought Lu Zhaoling suspected that the prince had been fooling around, so she quickly helped to prove it, "The prince has at most been to the cold palace once..."

As soon as he mentioned the cold palace, Zhou Shiyue's expression suddenly changed.

Lu Zhaoling saw his expression.

"Remember what?"

Zhou Shiyue went to the cold palace because there lived a concubine who had been demoted by his father many years ago.

He went there because he wanted to ask Aunt Yao about what happened in the palace back then.

The deposed concubine's surname was Le.

Back then, there was always joy.

Le Changzai was once familiar with Aunt Yao.

However, because Le Changzai had never been favored by the retired emperor, she resorted to extraordinary means. As a result, the retired emperor was very fond of Concubine Long at that time and did not want to let her down. So when he found out that Le Changzai had used perfume on him, he was very angry and sent her to the cold palace.

After being banished to the cold palace, Le Changzai has not made any movement.

Zhou Shiyue didn’t know about this before, and it was only after Aunt Yao appeared that Nanny Qing remembered this person.

He went into the palace to discuss important matters with the prince, and met a young eunuch who was going to the cold palace to deliver food. Suddenly, he had the idea of ​​going to see Concubine Le, so he went to the cold palace.

Zhou Shiyue explained the incident and then looked at Lu Zhaoling. "I just asked her a few questions about Aunt Yao. I stayed a few steps away from her and never touched her."

He felt a little aggrieved when he said this, and his heart was a little heavy.

There were no other things or other people, so if there was anything wrong with him, it could only have been contracted in the cold palace.

Lu Zhaoling looked at him and was sure that she was not mistaken. He was indeed infected with the peach blossom calamity.

"You really didn't run into anyone from the cold palace?"

"You don't believe me?" Zhou Shiyue looked at her.

"It's not that I don't believe it," Lu Zhaoling said with a sigh, "but you have such a strong peach blossom on you."

Peach blossom!

When Zhou Shiyue heard these two words, his expression changed.

He originally thought that it was some bad luck, death, evil spirit or something, but he didn't expect it was actually peach blossom!

This is the most impossible thing, he got involved?

"Impossible," Qinglin was also incredulous, "That Le Changzai is already over 40 years old..."

Peach blossom? If the prince was said to have had a peach blossom after meeting Concubine Le, how can this be justified?

"That's the retired emperor's concubine, only in her forties?" Lu Zhaoling's focus was diverted.

"She was banished to the cold palace when she was only a teenager," said Zhou Shiyue.

"Father, where are you? Come out and explain!"

The emperor floated in from outside, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, he had just seen Zhou Shiyue entering Huaiyuan outside and followed him here. He didn't expect to hear about his past and felt a little embarrassed to show up.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly mention one of his former concubines.

"Grand Emperor, that Concubine Le..." When Lu Zhaoling saw him come in, she couldn't help but ask about what happened in the past.

The emperor remembered this matter.

"Back then, Concubine Le was still very young!" The retired emperor was a little embarrassed. "How could I possibly favor such a little girl?"

He didn't want that concubine to be stuffed into the harem. It was the queen at that time, now the empress dowager, who brought her into the palace. He was so upset that he couldn't just make her a concubine that he forgot about her.

At that time, he doted on Long'er, and the queen tried every means to divide Long'er's favor. She wanted to pick a few childish girls to enter the palace to see if they could divert some of his attention.

But how could he have such thoughts?

Yin Changxing also looked at Zhou Shiyue and asked, "How did you feel when you entered the cold palace?"

Hearing him ask this, Zhou Shiyue pursed his lips and thought carefully.

When entering the cold palace...
