mountains and seas

But the problem lies in the lost personnel. In the chaos, I didn't know how many people were lost, so I registered all the missing ones.

After Cao Zhiyu went back and settled down, he wrote a copy of the book and asked his servants to send it to the capital, saying it was to keep his old friend safe.

The next day, the Buddhist temple where the queen mother was located entered the assassin.

Shang Qi and the others were completely unaware of the above.

Knowing that the queen mother was assassinated, Shang Jun immediately ordered a strict investigation. The person who came back from the queen mother said that the assassin dropped a waist card when he escaped, with the word Miaoyin engraved on it.

Miaoyin read the imperial concubine's boudoir name, which shows that the assassin is very close to her, but Shang Jun has not concealed this detail.

Shang Qi and Shang Lan entered the palace, Qi Ling called Zhuang Zifu to go to Qiwu Palace, before leaving, Zhuang Zifu glanced at the corner, Qi Ling asked him: "What are you looking at?"

Zhuang Zifu said, "Well~ I lost my jade pendant, and I stayed there today without going anywhere. I wanted to look for it."

"Then I'll help you find it when you come back." Qi Ling took off the cloak and gave it to Zhuangzi: "It's getting cold, put it on."

While they were enjoying their meal in Qiwu Palace, the little eunuch next to Shang Jun delivered a decree, "Concubine Nian has a lack of character, she will lose her title and be demoted to Zhaoyi."

"What?" Shang Lan jumped: "Is the father crazy?"

Although Concubine Nian has lowered her status, when Shang Jun asked him to pass on the word of mouth, the helpless and struggling little father-in-law could see it. It must not be a few days. Concubine Nian is still a concubine, and his attitude is very respectful: " Cao Zhaoyi, please accept the order, it will be fine if the emperor is overwhelmed."

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Concubine Nian responded generously: "The concubine accepts the order, then father-in-law, where does the emperor want to live?"

"Mistress Zhaoyi still lives in Qiwu Palace." The little eunuch replied.

Shang Qi sent the bell to send some silver to the young father-in-law: "Father-in-law has worked hard, mother and concubine, let's eat quickly, cold is not good for your health."

The little eunuch bid farewell obediently: "Then the slave will not bother the masters."

After the little father-in-law left, Zhuang Zifu felt that he was restless here at the moment, Qi Ling was still calm, he should eat and drink, and from time to time put a few chopsticks for Shang Qi, and read the imperial concubine, oh no, Cao Zhaoyi taught the hairy man a lesson Shang Lan, everything is the same as before and nothing has changed, but something has changed.

Today Qi Ling unexpectedly didn't pester Shang Qi, but took Zhuang Zi back.

Zhuang Zifu asked in a low voice: "Near, Cao Zhaoyi has been demoted, why are they still so calm, as if it is an innocuous news."

Qi Ling said: "Because it doesn't matter, no matter whether the empress is Cao Zhaoyi or Concubine Nian, Shang Jun still loves her, and Shang Qi and Shang Lan are still the most favored princes in the palace."

"That's it, that's good, that's good." Zhuang Zifu suddenly realized.

The next day, when the other empresses and young masters in the palace were proud and prepared to win the favor of Shang Jun in the days when Cao Zhaoyi fell out of favor, the queen sent a lot of good things to Qiwu Palace, telling everyone that her relationship with Cao Zhaoyi was still good .

This makes people who are about to move dare not move.

Shang Qi didn't know where he knew the inside story of the Queen Mother's assassination, he was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he traveled to various places all day and night, Shang Lan and Zhuang Zifu went to the palace together every day, hoping to learn something from Shang Jun.

Only Qi Ling can't find anything to do.At this time, a little eunuch came to him: "Young Master Qi, the Seventh Prince entrusted this to be sent by a slave. He said it was for Cao Zhaoyi. I want you to send some over there every day for seven days."

The little eunuch sent something that looked like a tonic, milky white, like a flower, Qi Ling asked: "Why do you have to send it every day? Can't you send it together?"

"Cao Zhaoyi can't stop eating these delicious foods." The little eunuch replied obediently: "The seventh prince said that eating this in moderation is tonic, and if you eat too much, you will get angry, so you need to control it."

After finishing speaking, he added: "All the maids around the empress dote on the empress, if the empress wants to eat more, they will definitely let her."

Thinking about it, it was indeed so, whether it was Bique, Lingdang, or Xiaoya who went later, they were afraid that Cao Zhaoyi would eat less, if it wasn't unsightly, they would definitely bring them in a pot.

Apart from going to Shang Jun, Shang Lan ran to Cao Zhaoyi.

Unfortunately, today I ran into a few empresses who were at odds with Cao Zhaoyi, and they sneered for a while, but fortunately Qi Ling came and left with Shang Lan.

Shang Lan pouted and didn't speak, he was very angry just by looking at his expression.

Qi Ling patted his head like a brother: "Don't be angry, it will pass."

"Don't tell Concubine Mother later, I'm afraid she will fight those two people for me, now Concubine Mother is no longer a Concubine, but a Zhaoyi, anyone in the palace can bully her." Shang Lan seemed Careless, but he is always very careful in matters concerning Shang Qi and Cao Zhaoyi.

"understood."

When she saw Cao Zhaoyi, she was sitting in the room watching Xiaoya and Lingdang tell her the passages in the storybook. Bi Que was lying on the bed and smiling happily, but she didn't dare to let go of her laugh, for fear of tearing up her face. A wound on the back.

"Mother Concubine~" Shang Lan immediately turned into a coquettish big child after entering the door.

Cao Zhaoyi looked at him: "You, you are all about to marry a wife, why are you acting like a baby?"

Bique, Lingdang and Xiaoya: "Your Highness the Eleventh, Mr. Qi."

Shang Lan leaned against Cao Zhaoyi and sat down: "What kind of wife do you want to marry? If you don't marry, don't marry."

"If you don't marry a wife, where should Shang Qi and I hold the child?" Qi Ling put down the things in his hands, and sometimes he would make trouble with Shang Qi after getting along for a long time: "Shang Qi gave you this."

Shang Lan didn't kick Qi Ling, but turned her head miserably: "Mother Concubine, Qi Ling is bullying me because of the support of Seventh Brother."

Ignoring Shang Lan, Cao Zhaoyi asked, "Qi'er, is he still busy?"

"Well, if the real culprit cannot be found, I don't think he will give up." Qi Ling nodded.

Shang Lan also agreed: "I agree, I will dig such a shitty pot for you for no reason, and if it is found out, I will chop him up to vent his anger."

During the conversation, the tonic brought by Qi Ling was cooked, Cao Zhaoyi felt a little sleepy after drinking it, coaxed away Shang Lan, a noisy son, and went back to sleep by herself.

When Shang Qi interrogated the prisoner for the first time, he was a well-behaved person, but now he has become a dead body. The jailer was terrified: "The seventh prince, the little one, the little one doesn't know what's going on, he"

Opening his mouth, a smell of medicine came to his nostrils, and the word "Yin" was written in blood on the floor under his head, and Ying Xufei, who accompanied Shang Qi, said, "Oh, do you have to frame him once you die? "

"Give me his portrait, someone may be able to help us." Shang Qi ordered the jailer.

Walking out of the prison, Ying Xufei asked, "Who can help?"

"Bi Que, she has stayed in the Cao family for so long, if this person is from the Cao family, she will know him." Shang Qi handed the scroll to Xiao Yunzi to take away.

He borrowed Xiao Yunzi from Zhuang Zifu, and Shang Qi couldn't believe it.

Xiao Yunzi looked at Shang Qi and Ying Xufei, and couldn't figure out when these two were good enough to live in harmony and handle the case together.

It was rare for Cao Zhaoyi not to be in the palace today, and went to the queen, it was a good thing Cao Zhaoyi was willing to go out, Shang Qi asked Xiaoya not to call her, and went to Bique's house by himself.

Although Bique was much older than Shang Qi, there was a difference between men and women, and there was a screen between Shang Qi and her.

Shang Qi took out the portrait to Xiaoya: "Bi Que, take a look, this person is undeniable."

"I'm, a little, a little impressed." Bique seemed to be thinking.

However, Shang Qi heard a hint of excitement, a hint of shock and disbelief: "You, do you know each other?"

Bique shook her head: "No, I don't know."

"Aunt Bique." This is one of the rare times when Shang Qi called her aunt in such a serious manner: "The mother concubine angered the emperor's grandmother because of this person's relationship. Where are you going? As long as she makes another mistake, even if it is an extremely trivial mistake, believe it or not, the emperor's grandmother can put the mother and concubine into limbo, and even the emperor will have no choice."

I know, how could Bique not know that the queen mother never liked the empress, the only thing that made the queen mother's attitude towards the empress better was that the empress raised His Royal Highness the Eleventh as her own child, Bique choked up: "He is, the childhood sweetheart of the servant, he It is absolutely impossible to have an affair with the empress."

Bique asked again: "My lord, is he alright?"

"Dead." Shang Qi didn't intend to deceive Bi Que.

Bi Que looked out of the window and said, "It's good to die, it's good to die, and I don't have to worry about him anymore."

"He's also working in Cao's house?" Shang Qi thought about it, and really didn't know who else was going to frame his mother and concubine.

"Yes." Bique said: "Your maidservant must be instigated by the master of the Cao family. Your lord, you grew up in the palace and didn't know about the affairs of the Cao family. The empress and the wife have been targeted by the aunt all the time, that is, the lady has a good temper and doesn't care about her." , but this woman is still smacking her face, and she doesn't like her everywhere, so Cao Zhiyu is my aunt's seed, so how can she have a deep affection for her sister and brother, I'm afraid he thinks it's too late to do it now."

Shang Qi got up: "I see."

When Xiao Yunzi returned to the palace, Qi Ling knew that Shang Qi was back, immediately changed his clothes, took out the palace token, and left. Zhuangzi looked at his leaving back: "Are you ready?"

"Hmm." Someone in the dark replied.

Zhuangzi replied, "Go."

Seeing Qi Ling, Shang Qi was not surprised. Instead, he went up and hugged Qi Ling gently: "I'm exhausted, I'm really not suitable for investigating cases."

It is rare to see Shang Qi acting like a baby, and Qi Ling enjoys it very much: "Then how is the investigation going?"

"Cao Zhiyu." Shang Qi gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person: "But there is no evidence."

"There is no fox that doesn't show its tail, it just needs some patience." Qi Ling kissed Shang Qi, but he couldn't kiss enough.

When it was just dawn the next day, he solemnly woke up Shang Qi and Qi Ling who were still asleep, and regardless of whether Shang Qi liked it or not, he brought Miaomiao and a few maidservants in for a quick refreshment: "Prince, son Hurry up and pay tribute, something happened to Cao Zhaoyi."

When Shang Qi and Qi Ling arrived in a hurry, the entire Qiwu Palace was very dazzling in the slightly white night, and the servants were in a hurry.

Shang Lan was one step ahead of him, and now he and Shang Jun were anxiously walking around the courtyard.

"What happened to the concubine mother?" Shang Qi asked Shang Lan.

Shang Lan's eyes were slightly red: "Ling Dang said that the mother and concubine had unbearable abdominal pain at night, and she was helpless even after calling the imperial doctor, and now she fainted from the pain."

Zhuang Zifu pulled Qi Ling aside: "I just saw that Cao Zhaoyi vomited blood, which is scary."

"What did you say!" Shang Qi heard and grabbed Zhuang Zifu's wrist firmly: "Mother and concubine vomited blood! Why hasn't the imperial doctor diagnosed the cause yet?"

Zhuang Zifu was terrified, his wrist was pinched and hurt, but he didn't dare to struggle: "It hurts, it hurts, Shang Qi, please calm down, Empress Zhaoyi has her own auspiciousness, she will be fine."

Qi Ling broke Shang Qi's hand and saw that Zhuang Zifu's wrist was a lot red: "Your Highness Zifu, apply cold water on it. Shang Qi, don't worry, wait for the imperial doctor to come out and ask what's going on."

Ever since he knew who Zhuang Zifu's mother was, Shang Jun always took care of him intentionally or unintentionally, treating him as if he was his own child, even if he was the prince of Dongling Kingdom: "Zi Fu is also worried about your concubine mother."

"Sorry." Shang Qi said to Zhuang Zi.

Until everyone in the palace woke up, the atmosphere in Qiwu Palace was still tense. The news of Cao Zhaoyi's serious illness spread like wildfire in the palace. At this time, everyone except the queen must be gloating.

The empress came with Shang Li and the rejuvenating doctor that Shang Li brought from outside the palace. Shang Qi was moved: "Thank you, Empress Mother."

The doctor went in directly, and half an hour later, he came out and knelt down on the ground and said, "Caomin did his best."
