Her clear eyes swept over the crowd calmly. Qingyun's face was so quiet that no emotion could be seen, and her dark eyes were as deep as the bottomless ocean.

The reason why she wanted to interrogate in front of everyone was to see their reactions. To be precise, she wanted to see who would be involved with Juechen Palace.

"Where is the current location of Juechen Palace's old nest?"

"I have been in the palace all this time. I really don't know where the Juechen Palace is now. However, I overheard Protector Zuo telling Tong An, the guard of Xihua Gate, that if anything happens, just go to Jinxiu Square in the city and leave a message. , she will know." Yuan Dong glanced at the woman next to him, which meant that she was the Zuo Protector.

Jinxiufang?

Qingyun raised her eyebrows almost invisible. She remembered that when she first returned to the palace, Lan Jue reported that the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion went to Jinxiufang twice, and the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang had a complicated background. If Jinxiufang was the site of Juechen Palace in the capital, A stronghold, what does the housekeeper do? What is the connection between the Prime Minister and Juechen Palace?

Also, the left and right guardians appeared in the world at the same time. The left guardian led people to break into the palace at night, so where is the right guardian? What is the mission of that person?

Then he glanced at Zhuyue and Situ Jingyu. Zhuiyue immediately led a group of secret guards and quietly rushed to Jinxiufang, while Situ Jingyu went to Xihuamen.

"Besides Jinxiufang, where else are the secrets of Juechen Palace?"

"My servant is only responsible for monitoring and collecting information in the palace, and then handing it over to Tong An who will pass it on to the Zuo Guardian. I know nothing about other things."

"Then who is this Palace Master of Juechen Palace? What is his appearance and age? And what is his identity?"

"Originally, one of the two saints, 'Morning Frost and Late Snow', was supposed to succeed the palace master. But twenty years ago, both saints suddenly disappeared without a trace, so the old palace master took over. The slaves only knew that the old palace master was the successor. The palace owner's name is Feng Qingshang, who is about sixty years old. He is a handsome man. The old palace owner joined Juechen Palace halfway. As for his previous identity, no one except the late old palace owner knows. "

Everyone was focused on the interrogation of the Ninth Princess, and no one noticed that Emperor Huiwen and Leng Yi's expressions suddenly turned calm and sad after hearing the words "morning frost and late snow".

"Didn't women always take over the position of palace lord of Juechen Palace?"

"No." Yuan Dong's trembling tone could not conceal a hint of pride and admiration: "Successive palace masters will select two to four people with the best martial arts and talents among the younger generation of subordinates to be the 'Saints' and 'Saints'. The 'saint' and the 'saint' are then carefully cultivated, and only the 'saint' and 'saint' who pass various tests are qualified to take over the position of palace master."

After hearing this, Qingyun nodded slightly: "This method is good, and it is worth learning from." He turned to look at Emperor Huiwen: "What do you think, Father?"

Seeing the profound look in his beloved daughter's eyes, Emperor Huiwen instantly understood and nodded and said: "It's not bad. But the specific implementation plan needs to be carefully considered."

He knew that his beloved daughter wanted to learn from the method of Juechen Palace where both men and women could serve. However, since ancient times, there was no precedent for women to serve in the imperial court. If he wanted to set a precedent, he should not do it, but... .

Some thoughtful courtiers obviously understood the profound meaning of the Ninth Princess's words and couldn't help but think deeply.

Those women like Li Feixue and Xu Yanran, who have various talents but are not willing to waste their lives in the small backyard, were all excited after hearing this. They hoped that the ninth princess could really convince the emperor. In this way, wouldn't they be able to... ...

"Then who are the saint and the saint now?"

"After the two saints disappeared, the old palace master stopped choosing the saint and the saint. I heard that the old palace master wanted to choose one of the two guardians and the eight hall masters to succeed the palace master. Except for the left guardian, I have never seen the Right Protector and the Eighth Hall Master."

Qingyun frowned slightly after hearing this. It seemed that Yuan Dong's status in Juechen Palace was not high, and the information he said was not very useful.

"How many people have Juechen Palace arranged to lurk in the capital and the palace? Who are they specifically?"

"Unless there are special circumstances, the palace master will not personally arrange the hidden stakes. Generally, the guardian and the hall master make the decision themselves."

Looking at the terrible situation around him, but still scratching his left guardian, Yuan Dong looked ashen: "I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know who is outside the palace. I just know that In addition to the servants and Tong An, there are also the mistress of the imperial kitchen, Shi Ming of the Imperial Guard, Deng Conghuai of the imperial hospital, and Ye Shao, the doctor of the household department. In addition, a few days ago, the guardian Zuo leaked the news in anger, saying that it was There are two noble people in the palace who are also from Juechen Palace. They are..."

Yuan Dong suddenly fell sideways to the ground, his lips were purple and black, and dark red blood gradually overflowed from the corners of his mouth. His wide-open eyes were staring at a certain place, as if there was some fear and resentment, and he also had such an understanding.

Guardian Zuo beside him also suddenly stopped wailing in pain and scratching, and lay straight on the ground, with his lips also purple and black.

Mo Xuanfei stepped forward to check carefully, and after a while he took out a mosquito needle from each of them. The needle body was about the length of a man's knuckle, and the whole body was black and shiny. Mo Xuan put the mosquito needle under his nose and smelled it. , Chao Qingyun shook his head: "'Drunk in the Past Life', blood seals throat, there is no cure!"

"How dare you kill people and silence them in front of your father and me? Come here and let me investigate carefully. I want to see who is so daring?"

Qingyun's face suddenly became as cold as frost, and her clear eyes moved among the people whose expressions changed, and there was a biting coldness in her eyes.

"Judging from the wounds on the two of them, the poisonous needle should have come from that direction. There must be a leaking fish!" Mo Xuan pointed to a certain location behind him.

Seeing Mo Xuan's cryptic gaze, Qingyun thought about it and immediately ordered Chang Le, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, to lead his people to chase the murderer in the direction pointed by Mo Xuan. However, his eyes followed Mo Xuan's gaze and looked to the right side of him. at.

There were several family members of the courtiers there, as well as Sima Chun, the unconscious Zhang Lianwu, and the two imperial doctors who had treated Zhang Lianwu.

Which one of them killed and silenced them?

Qingyun glanced at Lan Jue, and Lan Jue, who understood deeply, then calmly made a gesture to several specially trained secret guards, and they each locked their targets.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Yuan Dong say those names: Unexpectedly, not only was Juechen Palace so bold as to dare to murder the emperor and the Ninth Princess, but its power also penetrated into almost every corner, which was simply jaw-dropping!

I don't know if there is a Juechen Palace in my own house. It seems that I need to go back and conduct a thorough investigation.

Now that Yuan Dong has been murdered and silenced, and the Ninth Princess's expression and eyes are so deep and cold, everyone can't help but panic, for fear of being implicated.

Looking at Emperor Huiwen and seeing him nodding, Qingyun turned to look around at everyone and said majestically: "The Protector of the Country, Sima Yue, stepped forward to listen to the order: immediately lead people to arrest Deng Conghuai, Ye Shao, and their family members. He will be placed in the Heavenly Prison under strict supervision, and I will personally interrogate him on a certain day. Anyone who disobeys will not be punished without mercy!"

"Old minister (I) obey the order!" The two people quickly left.

"Sima Rui and Sima Qi came forward to listen to the order: to lead the imperial guards to apprehend Shi Ming and his mistress, and to assist Tian Dutong to thoroughly track down the traitors in the palace!"

"I obey the decree!"

"Come here, throw all the traitors from Juechen Palace to the graveyard to feed the dogs! As for Yuan Dong"

Looking at Yuan Dong with a dead look, Qingyun's face was as majestic as frost. Unfortunately, he could not find out who instigated him to have a drunken relationship with his father: "Since he confessed his crime, I will Fulfill the promise and keep his body intact! However, his crime of poisoning and murdering his father is unpardonable. His body is hung at the city gate and announced to the world as a warning to those with ulterior motives! Those who dare to shake the foundation of the country will be killed without mercy!"

The secret guards immediately stepped forward to carry out Qingyun's will.

"I've surprised you all tonight. I will entertain you all on the Lantern Festival night. Now go back and have a good rest. The night is cold and windy. If you have nothing to do, you'd better go out less! Let's all disperse."

Looking at the cold-faced Ninth Princess, illuminated by candlelight and stars and moon, a pair of ink-colored pupils shone with dazzling edge. Occasionally, there was a hint of dark light, as if light and darkness were intertwined. There was a different kind of magic in the majesty. For a moment, , everyone felt trembling with fear: the momentum of the Ninth Princess was a hundred times more impressive than the Emperor!

After kneeling down and saluting, everyone left the palace with their families.

Zhang Zishan and his wife looked at their beloved daughter who was still unconscious. Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth to take her daughter home for recuperation, but Zhang Zishan quietly stopped her.

Wu'er has married into Prince Chun's palace, how can they just take her back if they want? Even if Wu'er goes home to recuperate, if word spreads that her reputation will not be good, it will also cause dissatisfaction among the royal family.

Gong Yuanhao, who was leaving with the flow, suddenly turned back and took a deep look at Qingyun, with an unknown light shining in his eyes.

"Where is Princess Yongle going?" The Prime Minister, who had been silent all this time, realized that Zhi Lan was missing.

Lin Tao, who had always been domineering, had long been frightened by the bloody killings tonight. He had been hiding behind his grandfather, not caring about others. When his grandfather asked, he subconsciously replied: "How do I know? She falls in love wherever she goes. Wherever you go, it’s best to be killed by the traitor, it will save trouble!”

"Bastard!" The Prime Minister was furious when he heard this: "How can you say these words?"

He knew that his daughter-in-law resented his daughter for ruining his granddaughter, and he was also very sad to lose such a good chess piece like Meier, so he usually ignored how his daughter-in-law and grandson beat and scolded Princess Yongle, but the situation tonight was extraordinary. If anything happens to Princess Yongle, how will the Prime Minister's Office explain it to the royal family?

"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you send someone to look for her immediately? If you can't find Princess Yongle, let's see how I deal with you!"

Hearing his grandfather's severe rebuke, Lin Tao just came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed to leave. He kept cursing Zhi Lan in his heart that he was a disaster star!

Looking at the backs of the prime minister, grandfather and grandson who were whispering, Qingyun's eyes were as dark as the sea, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
