Chapter 354 (1/2)



354 Assassination (1)

When he left the spirit Treasure Temple, it was already 13:45.

Xu Qi ‘an entered the palace and asked the guard to inform him. He waited at the palace gate for 15 minutes. The young eunuch finally arrived at 15:45.

“Lord Xu, what should we do next?” The young eunuch asked.

“To the Feng Palace to find the Empress … You don’t need to inform His Majesty in advance to see the Empress, right?” Xu Qi ‘an said.

The young eunuch hurriedly waved his hands. His Majesty said that you can go wherever you want in the harem. Of course, the premise is that there is a servant accompanying you, especially to see the Imperial consort and the Empress.”

Xu Qi ‘an nodded.

If he wanted to see the emperor’s woman, of course he couldn’t see her in private.

The Feng Palace’s full name was Feng Qi Palace, and it was the largest and most luxurious palace in the harem, excluding the emperor’s bedroom.

When they arrived at Feng Qi Palace, they found out that the Empress was taking a nap. Xu Qi ‘an and the young eunuch waited in the corridor outside for an hour. A delicate Palace maid came to inform them, ”

“The Empress has awoken and has invited Lord Xu over.”

Xu Qi ‘an followed him into the palace. In the luxuriously decorated front hall, he saw the Empress, who was the mother of the world. She was wearing a Dark Phoenix robe embroidered with gold thread and a gorgeous crown on her head.

Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her lips were full. She was no longer young, but her face was full of collagen and did not look old at all. This added a mature woman’s charm to her flawless beauty.

she’s one of the top two beauties I’ve ever seen, and Luo Yuheng is the first. But the state preceptor has her own charm and buff, while the Queen has her own hardware … With such a woman as the Empress, there was no one in the harem who could fight.

Xu Qi ‘an quickly lowered his head, maintaining the etiquette and rules that a Foreign Minister should have.

“As expected of a young genius.”

The Empress was obviously also obsessed with looks. She examined Xu Qi ‘an and nodded in satisfaction.”Huaiqing often mentions you in front of bengong and praises you a lot. Bengong has also heard of your deeds of repeatedly solving strange cases in the capital.”

Both parties had a good first impression.

Perhaps Xu Qi ‘an was feeling good about himself, but he felt that the Empress appreciated him very much and did not regard him as an outsider at all.

“It is Wei Yuan’s good fortune to have such an outstanding subordinate like you.” “Serve some tea to Lord Xu,” the Empress said softly.

The palace maid served hot tea. Xu Qi ‘an took it with both hands, but he didn’t drink it. He asked directly, “”This humble servant has come for Consort Fu’s case and has a few questions to ask the Empress.”

“Lord Xu, please ask.”

“Do you know the palace maid, Huang xiaorou?”

“Bengong doesn’t know.” The Empress shook her head.

“Is there a Palace maid called he ‘er in the Empress Palace?”

“There are.” The Queen was silent for a few seconds and slowly nodded.

granny Rong from the crab Pavilion said that four years ago, Huang xiaorou had committed suicide for no reason. The palace maid who lived with her at that time saved her. That Palace maid was he ‘er from the Empress’ Palace.

“He ‘er has never been to crab restaurant.” The Empress denied it immediately.

Xu Qi ‘an continued, ” after examining the corpse, I found that the palace maid, Huang xiaorou, had suffered a fatal injury. It is not something that a Palace maid can save. It is also not something that the Imperial physicians of the imperial physician Department can save. He must have taken a spirit medicine that can bring the dead back to life.”

The Empress stared at Xu Qi ‘an and said, “”Does Lord Xu have any proof for your words?”

“The corpse is the proof.”

“What about the pill?”

“…… I don’t have any.” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

The Empress was the one who tore up the records of the Royal medicine Hall?

“I’m tired,” the Empress said softly, nodding her head.”I’ll see you out of the palace.”

Didn’t you just finish your afternoon nap … Xu Qi ‘an’s lips trembled a few times. He got up helplessly and left the Feng Qi Palace with the palace maid.

……..

Xu Qi ‘an looked up at the sun. eunuch, have you finished collecting the list? ”

The young eunuch took out a folded piece of rice paper from his pocket. I was just about to give it to Lord Xu.

Not bad, you’re very efficient. As expected of someone trained by the palace.

Xu Qi ‘an opened the name list and glanced at it. There were more than a dozen Palace maids, officers, and guards.

“Let’s check them one by one according to the list.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“Then the Empress …”

“Naturally, I can’t.”

Xu Qi ‘an sighed. Although Emperor Yuan jing had given him great privileges, allowing him to investigate whoever he wanted, the Empress would not cooperate even if she was beaten to death. Xu Qi’ an had no way to force himself on her.

It couldn’t really have been the Empress, right? then huaiqing would be very pitiful. Should I not continue to investigate? But if they didn’t check, wouldn’t it be very pitiful to have it framed? It’s here, it’s here, the Shuraba of two choices …

However, one thing was for sure, and that was that the Empress had a guilty conscience.

It couldn’t really have been the Empress, right? then huaiqing would be very pitiful. Should I not continue to investigate? But if they didn’t check, wouldn’t it be very pitiful to have it framed? It’s here, it’s here, the Shuraba of two choices … Xu Qian sighed in his heart.

But then again, the Empress was really beautiful. She still had such charm at such an old age. How beautiful must she have been when she was young? no wonder she could become the Empress.

Huaiqing’s and the Empress’s eyes were somewhat similar.

“In comparison, I still think Luo Yuheng is better because she can satisfy my various tastes … Oh, Su Su can do it too.”

Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t help but think of what the Golden Lotus Daoist priest had said just now. Luo Yuheng had the looks of all living beings and could let men see the type that they liked. However, he was looking at young women in their twenties, young women in their thirties, and mature women in their forties …

“I really don’t want to admit that I’m lecherous.”

In the next two hours, Xu Qi arranged to check the people on the list. Because time was limited, he had to leave the palace before the closing of the palace, so he only had time to check one-third of them.
