Shang Yunlan looked at Chen Huang's changed expression several times, and figured out his thoughts clearly.

He secretly wondered in his heart—could such a fool really cover up the real cause of the death of Duke Zhen and his wife seamlessly?

There must be someone else.

Shang Yunlan lowered his eyes and turned the finger on his hand, chatting with Chen Huang, and then apologetic: "Your Majesty forgive me, I am worried about He Yang, and want to retire first, I hope Your Majesty will allow you."

Chen Huang nodded, agreeing, the dissatisfaction with Empress Li in his heart reached its peak—he became more and more arrogant, he finally found someone like Shang Aiqing who had a good chat with him, but because of her problem, he couldn't say it a few words.

……

Shang Shaoyan didn't dare to stay longer in Zhaoyang Palace. After all, she was still in the palace now. If Empress Li wanted to frame Concubine Zhao, it would be the best opportunity to attack her.

If it wasn't for the sake of embarrassing Empress Li, she would not have taken such a big risk to faint in front of the maids of Zhaoyang Palace.

So she held on to her "sick body" and wanted to leave; Concubine Zhao didn't know Shang Shaoyan's concerns, she just thought she was frightened and easy to talk, so she arranged the carriage by herself, and asked Liu Er to send Mao and Mao off. The imperial physician then returned home.

Shang Shaoyan left, and Concubine Shu felt bored staying there, so she resigned angrily.

Soon, only Qin Ye and Li Langjiao remained in Zhaoyang Palace.

"Your Majesty." Qin Ye prostrated himself on the ground with a pious tone, "How is your Majesty?"

Li Langjiao leaned against the window, looked at the orchids outside, and said casually: "Please trouble Mr. Qin for your concern, I am very good."

Just as Qin Ye was about to get up, he paused, and fell down on the ground again: "I can't be your lord, the servant is just the little leaf that my mother saved in the imperial garden."

Li Langjiao didn't know what came to mind, and suddenly smiled softly: "I saved you, but I did it casually, you don't have to keep it in mind... It is serious to work hard for His Majesty."

Qin Ye lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of undercurrents, but he didn't show it at all when he spoke: "The empress is kind, but the servants can't take it for granted."

Li Langjiao's voice was light and light, as if he was a little tired: "If those people think like you, how good would it be?"

Qin Ye knew that Li Langjiao wanted to return to the imperial study after he remembered the past and confessed his crime.

At the moment when he stepped out of Zhaoyang Palace, he looked back in a strange way, only to see the traces of tears on the ferocious left half of Li Langjiao's face.

Qin Ye couldn't help being stunned. He suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that Li Langjiao had closed his eyes.

Qin Ye knew that he should leave quickly, but he went back after all. He lowered the curtain of the window for Li Langjiao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have caught the wind and cold carefully."

Li Langjiao didn't respond, and he didn't feel anything, so he left in silence.

I hope the empress can smile more - Qin Ye thought.

His empress laughed, she should be the most beautiful girl in the world.

……

Shang Shaoyan was carried back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, looking so weak that he was about to faint at any moment, Bai Shuang and the three almost cried to death when they saw this.

Shang Yunlan arranged the residence of the magistrate Mao, rejected all the servants including Nanny Li, and asked, "How?"

Shang Shaoyan opened his eyes, the brilliance flowed in his pupils, there was no trace of sickness: "I met four very interesting people today."

Seeing that her sister was really fine, Shang Yunlan finally felt that a big rock had landed in her heart, took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

Shang Shaoyan frowned: "Empress Li is as stupid as the sisters of the Li family, but the maid next to her is a bit interesting, as if her name is Zhu Sha. I see that Empress Li trusts and reuses cinnabar, but..."

She paused, considered a few words, and then said cautiously: "But Zhu Sha doesn't seem to respect Queen Li."

She said it conservatively, how could Zhu Sha disrespect Queen Li?When Shang Shaoyan raised his eyes inadvertently, the indifference in Zhu Sha's eyes didn't look like the expression that a first-class court lady next to the queen should have when facing her master.

Then she cautiously made a conclusion: "She should be placed next to Empress Li by other concubines, but now the palace power is in the hands of Concubine Zhao, and nothing can be hidden from her, so no matter whether Concubine Zhao is the mastermind, Zhu Sha and her are the same. Can't get away with it."

While keeping this person in mind, Shang Yunlan asked, "How about three more?"

Shang Shaoyan twitched his lips: "Then there is Concubine Zhao, and Eunuch Qin who is serving the pen and ink in front of the imperial court... No, it should be Lord Qin."

She looked at Shang Yunlan with blazing eyes: "You should have met Mr. Qin, what do you think of him?"

Shang Yunlan sneered: "An eunuch is called an adult, which is enough to explain the problem. Since ancient times, all dynasties with eunuchs in power have short-lived lives. You only met once, but I observed carefully. Chen Huangtong When I was talking, Lord Qin was on the sidelines helping to approve the memorial, will we have to change the name to Nine Thousand Years the next time we meet?"

A hint of interest flashed in Shang Shaoyan's eyes: "This is strange, because I see that Lord Qin and Concubine Zhao seem to have a story."

Shang Yunlan was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I will carefully send someone to investigate."

But Shang Shaoyan persuaded him: "Don't worry, I look at Concubine Zhaogui and I have a plan in my heart. If she really has a connection with Eunuch Qin, it's just because she was the daughter of General Hushi, and Once you have been in command, you know that she will not mess around in government affairs. If you are impatient and can't eat hot tofu, if you investigate in a hurry, you may be exposed."

Shang Yunlan sighed: "That's right... You've already mentioned three people, and there's one more?"

Shang Shaoyan glanced at Shang Yunlan teasingly: "Naturally he is the one who regards you as Bai Yueguang."

Shang Yunlan: "..."

He was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said: "I met Chen Huang today and exchanged a few words with him, but that Master Qin is standing by, I dare not make it too obvious."

Shang Shaoyan didn't tell the truth, and followed Shang Yunlan's words: "Do you want to confirm the cause of death of your parents?"

Shang Yunlan nodded, and then had a headache: "After I got in touch with him, I found that he is not a person who can kill people and then try to cover up one or two, and the clothes are perfect, let alone if parents are really killed by him. , he at least felt a bit guilty when he saw me, but looking at it today, he is not like that."

Shang Shaoyan frowned, also very puzzled: "This shows that Chen Huang didn't know about it, or he was not the mastermind."

Shang Yunlan took out from his bosom the few pieces of paper that he had checked Su Xianxian earlier, with a cold face: "It seems that the identity of this doctor is not just as simple as Su Xianxian's dog licking."

After a pause, he smiled meaningfully: "Whoever wants Nan Chen to cause internal strife, he belongs to whom."

Shang Shaoyan thought about it, and then heaved a long sigh.
