Chu Qing learned that Poria cost her own life and asked the emperor to give her three days to thoroughly investigate the loss of the national treasure, feeling a little anxious.
Let's not talk about what the emperor thought about the Gong family. Let's just say that what the emperor did to the Gong family during this period made Chu Qing feel a little uncomfortable. If the truth cannot be found within three days, the emperor will certainly not be merciful to Poria.
Chu Qing and Fuling began to conduct a thorough investigation into the loss of the national treasure. From the escort team to everyone who might have contact with the national treasure, they investigated one by one, but found nothing.
After a series of rigorous investigations, Fuling felt a little disappointed, while Chu Qing had other doubts. For example, was the national treasure in the escort team at the beginning? Thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but feel a little frightened. If this was really the case, it would mean that letting the Gong family protect the treasure was a conspiracy.
With this guess, Chu Qing found Huaiyu and told him about the loss of the national treasure and what they had investigated in the past two days, and also revealed some of his own thoughts.
After hearing what Chu Qing said, Huaiyu felt doubtful, but after thinking about it carefully, Chu Qing's guess was not unreasonable. The emperor originally intended to weaken the Gong family, so she had this motive to frame the Gong family for this matter.
Chu Qing looked at Huaiyu with a serious face and said: "Listen to me, this matter is of great importance. Although I guessed this, it is just a guess. We must first find out the matter secretly before we can do anything. One step plan.”
Huaiyu nodded and said, "Just wait for my news."
Chu Qing frowned and said, "Hurry, the three-day period is coming soon. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will..."
"I know, don't worry, leave this matter to me." Huaiyu nodded solemnly, then turned and left.
It has to be said that Huaiyu's work efficiency was really fast, and Chu Qing received her message the next day.
Huaiyu learned from the emperor's close ministers that it turned out that the emperor never handed over the national treasure to the Gong family at all. What he gave to the Gong family was just an empty box. The emperor just wanted to use this matter to get rid of the Gong family.
After hearing what Huai Yu said about the cause and effect, Chu Qing felt very angry. He never expected that a dignified emperor would do such slanderous things.
"What do you think we should do?" Huaiyu said helplessly, "Since Your Majesty is determined to frame the Gong family and put them to death, he will not let the Gong family go easily."
Chu Qing nodded, and although they knew it was the emperor who framed the case, they couldn't go directly to the emperor to negotiate. First, the emperor will definitely not admit it; second, if it damages the emperor's face, the consequences will be more serious.
Huaiyu looked at Chu Qing and asked, "Do you want to tell Fu Ling about this and hear what she has to say?"
Chu Qing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, let me handle this matter."
Huaiyu sighed and said helplessly: "It's up to you. Anyway, I don't have any good countermeasures."
The three-day period came quickly. At noon that day, Chu Qing followed Fu Ling to the palace with a box in her arms. Although Fuling didn't know what Chu Qing was doing with the wooden box, she knew he wouldn't harm her, so she let him go.
When the emperor saw Chu Qing next to Fu Ling, he narrowed his eyes, looked at Fu Ling and said, "How is it? Have you found out?"
Fu Ling glanced at Chu Qing, who nodded to her. Fu Ling looked at the emperor, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have found out everything."
"Oh." The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Qing, and said, "Then tell me, what did you find out?"
"It's better for me to tell His Majesty." Chu Qing suddenly stepped forward holding the box and said.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "You..."
Chu Qing smiled and handed the box in his arms forward. The emperor squinted and said, "What is this?"
"national treasure."
The emperor's heart skipped a beat as he watched Chu Qing open the box, and then became furious instantly.
The box in Chu Qing's hand was empty.
