The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Fengxiang Palace.

After lunch, Tian Shang's personal eunuch Shi Xiaofu came to invite the princess and her husband to the imperial study.

Before leaving, Zhao Xuan hugged Empress Dowager Nie.

"Mother, if there is a chance in the future, we will come to see you again."

The Queen Mother stroked Zhao Xuan's hair and thought of her daughter who died in the womb. She felt a little reluctant to let Zhao Xuan go.

"His Majesty told me that he wants to keep you here to celebrate the New Year. There are still more than ten days left, so there's plenty of opportunity!"

When Empress Dowager Nie said this, her heart moved and she was filled with joy.

"How about I tell His Majesty that you two shouldn't live in the Honglu Temple anymore and just move in with me! Let's have a good talk!"

"This……"

It would be great to have the protection of Empress Dowager Nie, but I don’t know what will happen when I get to the imperial study.

Tian Shang knew that she was not Tian Shiliu when he saw her for the first time. Her sinister eyes and sweet words showed him that he had murderous intentions.

Tian Shang was right. She was lucky to have temporarily avoided the crisis of the former dynasty and the harem, but when she faced Tian Shang alone, she was not so lucky.

When Zhao Xuan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel an unconcealable bitterness in her heart.

She held Empress Dowager Nie's hand tightly. She thought that this was her first time, and perhaps the last time, to get along with this old lady in her sixties.

Zhao Xuan concealed her sadness and said to Empress Dowager Nie with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, mother. We will come to see you again if we have the chance!"

Empress Dowager Nie looked at Zhao Xuan's face carefully, as if she wanted to imprint her appearance deeply in her heart, and spoke after a moment.

"Okay, okay, then go and catch up with His Majesty. He must have been waiting for a long time."

Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua bid farewell to Empress Dowager Nie and walked towards the imperial study under the guidance of Shi Xiaofu.

Halfway through, Zhao Xuan turned around and still saw Empress Dowager Nie, supported by Nanny Feng, looking at her figure from afar. When she saw her turn around, she waved to her.

Zhao Xuan also waved to Queen Mother Nie. She felt sad for Tian Shiliu, but also happy for her. After all, there were still people in this world who truly loved her.

Nanny Feng supported Empress Dowager Nie as she walked back to Fengxiang Palace. As Zhao Xuan and her group left, the hall returned to silence, filled with laughter and joy.

"The princess seems like a completely different person this time. She's no longer as timid as before, but cheerful and outgoing. She's also very affectionate towards you."

Nanny Feng said with some emotion.

Empress Dowager Nie's cloudy eyes gradually became clear and profound.

"A princess is a princess. There's nothing that changes. She's just a princess. If everyone thinks she's good, then she's good."

Nanny Feng looked at Empress Dowager Nie in confusion.

"Empress Dowager, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"I hope the world is at peace."

Empress Dowager Nie did not explain and smiled faintly.

"Help me back to the bedroom. It's time for a nap."

?

Zhao Xuan and her group walked through a long corridor.

The Little Medical Fairy followed behind Zhao Xuan and spoke in a very low voice to Hao Xiong who was walking beside her.

"It's a bit hard to bear. Let's be honest, the people who escorted the bride to the wedding party must have suffered."

Hao Xiong looked disdainful, covered his mouth with his hands and whispered.

"Why can't you bear it? In order to cover up the identity of the fake princess, they killed so many innocent people. They deserved to die!"

"There's such a thing? That's too cruel!"

"I reminded them that they could pay hush money to anyone who had seen the real princess, or just threaten them, but they just killed them. What a jerk!"

Gu Zhanghua turned around and gave the two of them instructions.

"Say less."

Xiao Yixiang and Hao Xiong quickly shut up and followed behind obediently.

In the imperial study, Tian Shang, who was pacing back and forth, stopped in front of Wang Huai.

"You mean, the chief envoys who escorted Shi Liu to the Xia Kingdom for marriage were all certain that it was Tian Shi Liu herself who was to marry the virtuous king?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only the chief envoy, but I have also asked the other four deputy envoys, and they are indeed true."

Tian Shang's face was gloomy. He slammed the desk with his palm, and the inkstone jumped.

"The problem must have occurred after Shi Liu and the virtuous king got married!"

Wang Huai put his hands in his sleeve pockets, squinting his eyes and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

“This wise king doesn’t look simple!

If he had known earlier that the pomegranates in this field were not the same as those in that field, instead of avoiding them as much as possible, he would have fallen in love with this fake princess and accompanied her to Yue State. Is there some conspiracy behind this?"

Tian Shang frowned and sneered.

"Conspiracy? He's just a brat. I don't believe he can stir up any trouble on my territory!

Once I find out the truth, if Shi Liu is truly no longer in this world, I will definitely avenge her!"

Wang Huai took a step forward and reminded Tian Shang in time.

"I'm afraid they've already figured out a countermeasure and are just trying to make excuses. Your Majesty, please don't believe their one-sided story."

Tian Shang looked sad, and said nothing more, just nodded.

?

As they were about to reach the imperial study, Zhao Xuan saw two teams of armed imperial guards on both sides of the road.

She glanced at Gu Zhanghua beside her and was about to say something when Gu Zhanghua shook his head.

"It's useless for you to say anything now. I will definitely go in with you."

Zhao Xuan slowed down her pace. She still wanted to take the biggest blame on herself and whispered to Gu Zhanghua.

"I was just thinking, if Tian Shang wants to harm us, you can say that you always thought I was Tian Shiliu and knew nothing else. Then..."

"Hold on! Do you want me to be like that idiot who flies away first when disaster strikes, like a married couple?"

Gu Zhanghua's face turned red in anger and his voice was a little loud, which made Shi Xiaofu, who was leading the way, look back.

Shi Xiaofu thought to himself, what's wrong with the prince consort? Why is he calling me a bastard?

I really don't understand it at all.

Zhao Xuan was amused by Gu Zhanghua's words, but then she turned around worriedly and looked at Hao Xiong and Xiao Yixiang who were following behind her.

"You two wait at the door."

Xiao Yixiang and Hao Xiong turned their heads away, obviously not wanting to listen to Zhao Xuan's nonsense at all. Zhao Xuan sighed.

"Okay, let's go meet this Yue Emperor together!"

Shi Xiaofu came to the door of the imperial study and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty, the princess and her husband have been brought here!"

"come in."

There was no emotion in Tian Shang's voice. Zhao Xuan and the other three were brought into the imperial study by Shi Xiaofu.

Tian Shang ordered Shi Xiaofu.

"Go out and guard it. Close the door."

"Yes!"

Shi Xiaofu responded, his calves trembling. The last time he closed the door and guarded, he saw with his own eyes that the former Emperor of Yue was killed by the current Majesty.

Now His Majesty asked him to close the door. Does this mean that the princess and her husband will be in danger?

Shi Xiaofu didn't dare to think any further, and hurriedly ran out of the imperial study and closed the door tightly.

Zhao Xuan originally wanted to salute Tian Shang, but after hearing what Tian Shang said, she immediately thought of the phrase "closing the door and beating the dog"?

Do you think that if you lock them up in the small imperial study, Tian Shang will be able to control them?

She won't buy it!

Zhao Xuanli was also exhausted, so she just stood there in front of Tian Shang.

Gu Zhanghua glanced at an old Confucian scholar standing behind Tian Shang, thinking that this man must be Tian Shang's confidant.

Tian Shang stood up and walked to Zhao Xuan, looking at her face carefully.

"Don't be afraid. To be honest, maybe I can let you go."

Zhao Xuan remained calm, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked up at Tian Shang.

"I am indeed not Tian Shiliu."

Tian Shang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked Zhao Xuan viciously.

"Where is Tian Shiliu?!"

Zhao Xuan spread her hands and answered directly.

"She's dead."

Tian Shang laughed out loud, but his laughter was mixed with sadness. Suddenly, Tian Shang's laughter stopped abruptly. He raised his hand and quickly strangled Zhao Xuan's neck with a ferocious look on his face.

"You killed her! Didn't you!"

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Tian Shang to be so ruthless and use a killing move right from the start!

"no!"

Zhao Xuan faced Tian Shang's rage calmly and spoke calmly word by word.

She could have dodged it, which was very easy for her, but in a split second, she thought of a better solution. She couldn't dodge!

The person in front of her was her enemy, who had sent assassins to kill her master, the Crown Prince, and so many members of the diplomatic corps, as well as the wronged souls of Guze Town!

If he dares to pinch her neck, she will slap him!

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuan slapped Tian Shang hard in the face!

There was a crisp sound of "pop"!

happy!!!

Zhao Xuan looked at Tian Shang with a sneer. She didn't kill Tian Shang with one palm, which was already giving him face!

If he was not the emperor of Yue, she would have ended his life in a minute!
