The guard did not dare to look up at Rong Jiu, but continued quickly:
"The Third Highness entered the palace and seemed to have a little dispute with the Queen, but I didn't dare to break in, so I kept waiting outside. And not long after the Third Highness left, the Queen..."
Emperor Jiawen looked at Rong Jiu with cold eyes.
Rong Jiu went to see the Queen today and found Mo Zhu. It was normal to have a fight with the Queen.
But why did the queen want to die so suddenly
Could it - is it really related to Rong Jiu
Rong Jiu's heart sank.
Emperor Jiawen really began to doubt him!
The words of the guard just now were so instructive!
He clearly did it on purpose!
Rong Jiu said in a deep voice:
"Father, I can swear that this matter has nothing to do with me! In addition to me, there is another person who also went to the Queen's Palace today!"
Emperor Jiawen immediately asked: "Who!?"
Rong Jiu took a deep breath:
"Situ Xingchen!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Emperor Jiawen's eyes.
Situ Xingchen
What is she here to do
Emperor Jiawen immediately looked at the guard: "Has Situ Xingchen been to the Queen's Palace today?"
The guard shook his head:
"Nothing."
He looked sincere and didn't look like he was lying at all.
The uneasy feeling in Rong Jiu's heart became stronger and stronger.
He raised his voice and his tone became much more stern, and shouted at the guard: "Do you know that deceiving the Holy One is a capital crime!"
The guard seemed to be startled and shrank back:
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty in my humble position! Everything I said before is true!"
Rong Jiu felt tight in her chest and abdomen.
When he entered the Queen's Palace, he did not ask if anyone else had been there.
At that time in the palace, he failed to discover Situ Xingchen in time.
Now that the queen is dead, I think Situ Xingchen must have left!
If this guard killed him - no, if all those guards were talking about the same thing, then he himself would not be able to produce any evidence to prove that Situ Xingchen had ever appeared there!
Suddenly, he thought of something:
"Father, you can send someone to investigate the records of entering and exiting the palace! Situ Xingchen must have been in the palace today!"
Emperor Jiawen looked at Eunuch Min:
"Send someone to check immediately!"
"yes!"
After speaking, Emperor Jiawen took a deep breath:
"Immediately impose martial law on the Queen's palace. No one is allowed to approach except me! Also, block the news! If this matter is leaked."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but the threat in his eyes was clear.
After saying that, Emperor Jiawen turned around and planned to continue to the imperial mausoleum.
Just after taking two steps, he staggered and almost fell.
Eunuch Min held on quickly with quick eyes and hands, and couldn't help but said:
"Your Majesty, why don't you rest in the palace for a while first? Your current body-"
Emperor Jiawen shook his head, gritted his teeth and walked forward.
Where is the Imperial Tomb
That is the burial place of the ancestors of Yaochen Kingdom!
If some irreversible trouble really happened, he would probably become a sinner for the ages!
Over the years, there had never been any abnormality in the Imperial Mausoleum, so the warning fireworks just now made him extremely frightened.
The death of the queen is also a big deal, especially when there are still many mysteries that have not been solved.
But that cannot be compared with the Imperial Tomb.
Rong Jiu took two steps forward and said:
"Father, why don't you, my son, come with you?"
Emperor Jiawen refused without looking back.
"No need! You go back and stay well now. Put the things in your hands aside for now. When I come back, I will deal with it myself!"
"Father—"
Rong Jiu wanted to defend herself, but Emperor Jiawen made it clear that he didn't want to hear it.
Eunuch Min winked at Rong Jiu, telling him not to anger His Majesty again at this time.
Helpless, Rong Jiu had to stop and watched the figure of Emperor Jiawen disappear before his eyes.
You can still vaguely hear the conversation between Emperor Jiawen and Eunuch Min.
"Have you informed Mr. Ye?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Mr. Ye has received the news and I believe he has gone to the imperial mausoleum by now. With Mr. Ye here, you don't have to worry too much."
The sound gradually decreases until it is no longer audible.
Rong Jiu slowly clenched her hands in her sleeves and turned to look at the guard.
A killing intent filled with strong blood energy enveloped the guard!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down!"
The guard obviously realized the danger and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Calm down?"
The corners of Rong Jiu's mouth curved into a mocking arc.
"You have framed this palace so much, and you dare to ask me to calm down my anger? Say! Who told you to say that!"
The guard refused: "Your Highness, I did not lie, let alone frame you! You really misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding? So Situ Xingchen's visit to the Queen's Palace today was also a misunderstanding?"
Seeing that the aura on Rong Jiu's body became more and more terrifying, the guard looked away guiltily, and then said in a very low voice:
"Your Highness, I have told you this several times. Except for you, no one else has entered the Queen's palace today. Why don't you believe it? Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation. If you don't want to believe it, you can go and ask in person. Just ask, look inside and outside the palace, has anyone ever seen Princess Situ entering the palace today? Don’t you understand everything? "
Hearing these words, Rong Jiu suddenly reacted!
wrong!
Since he dared to deny it in public, and even dared to ask someone to investigate, it must be because he was fully prepared!
Or maybe the other party has simply dug a hole and is waiting for him to jump out of it!
Rong Jiu felt a deep disgust and hatred in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Situ Xingchen’s thoughts and tricks were so terrifying!
Maybe even the queen's death was related to her!
Rong Jiu originally wanted to go to the Queen's Palace to see with his own eyes what was going on, but Emperor Jiawen had ordered him to go back, so naturally he couldn't do anything.
He leaned down, picked up the guard's collar, and said word by word:
"I will remember today's account!"
Leaving the palace.
After Rong Xiu got rid of Jian Fengchi, he planned to rush to the imperial mausoleum quickly!
Yu Mo followed closely behind, seeing that he was actually planning to go out like this, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Master, are you going like this?"
Have a meal.
If something happens to the imperial mausoleum, many people will definitely go there.
Especially Emperor Jiawen.
If they saw that King Li, who was supposed to be resting peacefully in his mansion, actually appeared in the imperial mausoleum, they didn't know what their reaction would be.
Rong Xiu closed his eyes.
He was so impatient that he forgot such a simple thing.
When he thought that Yue'er was in the imperial mausoleum, his heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, full of anxiety and suffering, and he wished he could run away immediately.
He looked back at Yu Mo:
"You go and inform Yan Ge, he will naturally know what to do."
"Yes! But...Master, on your side—"
"This king has his own sense of proportion."
".My subordinate understands!"
