The sudden change shocked everyone!
The death of an emperor is a devastating event in any dynasty!
What's more, the emperor died at this critical moment!
The prince is under house arrest, the fourth prince is also under house arrest, and the one who holds the power is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Although Zhao Feiyue is the most trusted and beloved princess of Emperor Zhao Bairen, she is a woman after all!
How will the current situation evolve? Everyone looked at each other in confusion and panic!
Even the older ones, recalling what they had heard from their predecessors about the horrific and bloody history of the changes in imperial power in the past dynasties, immediately made their legs tremble and their whole bodies tremble.
Concubine Ming's eyes also widened, and she had an extremely strange look on her face. Li Chengfeng was even startled, unable to believe that such a beautiful woman's face suddenly showed such complex emotions.
Her face was distorted, as if she was suppressing some accumulated emotion, and then she made a sizzling sound from her throat, making it impossible to tell whether she was laughing or crying.
Immediately afterwards, she let out a very strange cry, and howled in a suppressed voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Why... why did you leave me?"
Concubine Ming immediately covered her face with her hands and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!! How could you have the heart to abandon me like this!!"
Concubine Ming cried bitterly, with tears streaming down her face. Her previous beauty was instantly gone. At this time, she cried so loudly that she broke into tears. She lay trembling on the ground, her hairpin shaking.
Li Chengfeng observed Concubine Ming with a calm expression and said, "Concubine Ming, Your Majesty wants you to die, but you don't hate him?"
Concubine Ming's crying gradually stopped. She looked at Li Chengfeng with tearful eyes and said, "Everything I have is given to you by your majesty. Your majesty wants me to go down and accompany him..."
Concubine Ming raised her head and looked towards the roof of the palace, as if she could see straight through the roof and saw Zhao Bairen in the sky. She shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am here to accompany you!"
After saying that, Concubine Ming jumped up and ran towards the stone pillar next to her. She lowered her head and hit the stone pillar head-on!
This time, it was fast and hard, and her head hit the stone pillar hard. If she hit it this time, her head would burst instantly and her vagina would fly!
However, when Concubine Ming closed her eyes and waited for death, she suddenly found that her body went limp. When she opened her eyes again, she actually saw Li Chengfeng standing in front of her, holding her with both hands and smiling. looked at her.
Concubine Ming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around, only to see that the eunuchs and maids around her had their heads lowered, looking at their noses and hearts, pretending not to see anything.
Even the fat white eunuch next to him looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.
Concubine Ming looked confused and said, "I am not dead?"
Li Chengfeng said in astonishment: "Why is Concubine Ming seeking death?"
Concubine Ming's face was full of sadness, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has passed away, so what's the use of leaving me alone? I might as well accompany Your Majesty to the west... "
After that, she lowered her head and hit the stone pillar again.
Li Chengfeng on the side had quick eyes and quick hands to stop her. Liu Sumei on the side gently pressed her shoulder, and Concubine Ming felt that she couldn't move.
Li Chengfeng grimaced and said to Concubine Ming seriously and sternly: "Your Majesty is in good health and everything is fine. Concubine Ming, even if you gain His Majesty's favor again, you must not arbitrarily criticize His Majesty's safety! If these words reach His Majesty's ears, Inside, I’m afraid someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of me!”
Concubine Ming was stunned, as if she couldn't believe her ears, her face became distorted again: "Your Majesty, he is not dead?"
Li Chengfeng said with a tigerish face: "I have said that Your Majesty is in good health, so why does Concubine Ming curse Your Majesty again and again?"
Concubine Ming quickly waved her hand and said: "I, I just heard forty-five sounds in the palace..."
At this time, the fat white eunuch beside him immediately said: "Concubine Ming, be careful what you say! Your Majesty is in good health, don't make any false statements!"
Concubine Ming froze on the spot. She said in a daze, "Eunuch Lu, just now...didn't you hear anything at all? Just now, just now, I heard it very clearly!"
The fat white eunuch named Eunuch Lu immediately said: "This slave didn't hear anything. It was just when she saw Concubine Ming that she suddenly became crazy, talked nonsense, and even wanted to commit suicide by hitting a pillar..."
Concubine Ming stayed where she was, unable to react for a moment, with a confused face: "Why, how could this happen? Obviously... I obviously heard it..."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I think Concubine Ming missed Your Majesty so much that she had hallucinations, so she became dazed. Eunuch Lu, do you mean to die?"
When Eunuch Lu saw Li Chengfeng excusing Concubine Ming, he immediately nodded and said, "That's what I thought."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said to Concubine Ming: "Concubine Ming is not in good health, so take a good rest and I won't bother you anymore."
Concubine Ming said blankly: "No more investigating the case?"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "I've finished asking." After that, he said to Mr. Lu, "Eunuch Lu, could you please lead the way?"
Eunuch Lu glanced at the eunuch who was writing case records and daily records, then nodded and left Shuiyue Palace with Li Chengfeng, Liu Sumei and others.
Before leaving, Li Chengfeng looked back at Concubine Ming and saw her standing there blankly, motionless, as if she was possessed, with her eyes straight.
Li Chengfeng withdrew his gaze. After he left Shuiyue Palace and said goodbye to Mr. Lu, the little bell on the side said in a strange tone: "Don't look, be careful. There is a villain accusing you of an indecent crime. You, a great master, It’s a bad reputation!”
Li Chengfeng laughed dumbly. He didn't care about it like a small bell. Instead, he looked at Liu Sumei and said, "What do you think?"
Liu Sumei pondered for a while and said: "Judging from her reaction after being hit by the illusion, it seems that she was not cheating."
It turns out that everything Concubine Ming saw and heard just now was an illusion arranged by Liu Sumei when she secretly used illusions. This illusion was only for Concubine Ming, causing her to hallucinate, allowing Li Chengfeng to observe what happened after the emperor's death. , what was Concubine Ming’s reaction
In fact, this is Li Chengfeng's method of handling cases. After all, he is not a professional public servant. Compared with investigating and solving cases, the number one arrester Zheng Qiuyun is definitely a few steps ahead of Li Chengfeng.
Therefore, if the case were to be solved seriously, Li Chengfeng would probably spend his whole life investigating and not be able to find out the truth.
Therefore, he could only use his ability and identity as a cultivator to find another way to do something.
After Liu Sumei finished speaking, she looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Can Concubine Ming's suspicion be eliminated now?"
Li Chengfeng smiled, shook his head and said, "No, on the contrary! I actually think it's bigger!"
Liu Sumei and others were all surprised. They had seen Concubine Ming's reaction after learning that Zhao Bairen had died. She immediately committed suicide and died in love. This move instantly cleared Concubine Ming's suspicion in their minds, but why did Li Chengfeng say that she More suspicion
Little Lingdang wondered: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Ming has several doubts: First, when I asked her when she entered the palace, she obviously had swallowing, narrowed pupils, and subconsciously pinched her fingers nervously. This should have been the case. It’s the simplest question, why is she so nervous?”
"Second, when I asked her what kind of clothes she likes to wear the most, why did she suddenly talk too much, as if she was deliberately trying to attract attention to this piece of clothing?"
"Third, when I talked about the seven smells I smelled, I deliberately said the wrong one, but Concubine Ming didn't notice. Did she forget? Or did she ignore it intentionally? If she forgot? Why did she forget it? She remembers the three flavors so clearly?"
"Fourth, one of the three spices she mentioned was wrong!"
Little Lingdang wondered: "How did you know?"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "When I was in Baixi Square, I once put this kind of powder on the body of Nan Yunluo, the number one immortal in the gambling world. I had never smelled this kind of powder at that time, so I didn't say anything about it. Instead, I privately found the most famous powder shop in Beijing, and after asking around, I found out that such powder existed. And I just happened to inquire about its ingredients. The shopkeeper knew that the ingredients are difficult to find, and ordinary people don’t know the proportions. , so he generously told me their respective raw materials."
Xiao Lingdang clapped her hands: "So, Concubine Ming really has a problem? What is the ingredient she made a mistake about? It's poison, right!!"
Little Bell's eyes widened with excitement!
Li Chengfeng smiled, shook his head and said, "No, that medicine is a thousand-year-old lust found in underground caves. Its effects are aphrodisiac and mild hallucination."
Little Lingdang wondered: "Then why did she hide her mistake?"
Li Chengfeng said cheerfully: "So, there are many suspicious things about Concubine Ming, but it is not appropriate to pursue her too closely now. Let her go for a while and let her relax. Let's go visit our Fourth Highness first."
