Li Yunjiao asked about the life of Tao'er, the maids and nuns around the empress dowager. According to the maids, Tao'er was a very cautious court lady, otherwise she would not have become the maid in charge of the empress dowager's palace at a young age.

He is usually kind and has almost never had a problem with anyone.

This is strange, a palace lady who is always cautious and cautious is suddenly killed, apart from seeking revenge, what else is there?

Li Yunjiao also learned that Tao'er went to the imperial garden because she wanted to collect morning dew for the queen mother, who used to drink scented tea, and the water used to make tea was the dew on the petals at the beginning.

Taoer went to the Imperial Garden on purpose, but was killed suddenly??

"I guess it's possible that Tao'er accidentally saw or discovered something, so she was silenced."

As for why she was framed?Undoubtedly because she and Gao Dashan have neither power nor backer, and it is the safest thing in the whole palace to plant them on their heads.

Gao Dashan's face changed: "According to this, the mastermind behind the scenes can't do anything, and I'm afraid they will do so secretly."

At that time, if there is no proof of death, they will be dead in vain. They are not familiar with Bai Yu's life and place, so no one will stand up for them.

This makes sense.

"That's why I asked Bai Luochen to investigate the case with great fanfare. If the estimation is correct, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely start at this time. Be careful in what you do in the next few days, and don't separate."

Gao Dashan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will watch over you all the time and never leave you."

Li Yunjiao smiled lightly.

"Don't be so nervous, isn't there still Bai Luochen's Ouchi bodyguard here, he is also a leader in the forbidden army, Ji Qing is still the commander of the guards, isn't he commander Ji?"

Ji Qing watched his nose, nose and heart and didn't answer. He was just following orders to protect the safety of the two of them, and the rest was not within his scope of duties.

Li Yunjiao pursed her lips, another piece of wood, she was puzzled, why no emperor would always have one or two wooden stakes around him.

"Okay. It's getting late, let's go, Ji Qing, I'll trouble you to keep watch for the next two days, oh, just squat on the roof, if there is any trouble, you can act urgently."

Ji Qing didn't change his face, and disappeared with a whoosh, and so did the others.

"Msister, I think that's the only saving grace in ancient times, flying over eaves and walls, without any special effects and hanging wires at all." She was still quite envious.If it weren't for being too old to come to university, Li Yunjiao would definitely find a master to learn art from.

Gao Dashan was dissatisfied and said: "What's so good about flying over eaves and walls, don't you know that you are also very good at being a husband?"

Li Yunjiao was puzzled, and subconsciously asked: "What?"

"Of course it's kung fu in bed..." Gao Dashan clasped Li Yunjiao's waist and whispered behind her ear.

Li Yunjiao paused, and the suspicious honey red gradually rose from behind the ears.

Gao Dashan is becoming more and more dishonest.

"And one more thing, you are amazing."

"What?"

"It's so thick-skinned." It's like a city wall!

Gao Dashan: ?? He was speechless.

"Daughter-in-law, you are especially rare when you blush."

It's really thick!This is the common aspiration of all the guards on the roof.

??

That night.

The night is as cool as water, the willows are caressed gently by the majestic wind, and the shadows of the trees are dancing.

A gust of wind passed by, and the Ouchi guards who were a little sleepy suddenly opened their eyes.

Ji Qing gestured to his subordinates who were hiding in the dark. They were all Bai Yu's top imperial guards, with sharp eyes and ears.Ye can see things, looked at each other's hiding place, and gently touched his waist with his fingers.

A black shadow rushed past, swiftly pried open the bedroom door of Li Yunjiao and Gao Dashan, and tiptoed in.

Under the moonlight, the black-clothed thief slashed at the bed, feeling something wrong with his hand, subconsciously opened the bedding, it was empty!

The man in black knew that he was not good, and was eager to retreat, but was blocked by Ji Qing who suddenly appeared.

The lights in the room were lit, and Li Yunjiao sat at the table beside the screen and drank tea: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It turned out to be a trap, the man in black said in secret, turned his head and collided with Ji Qing's sword, trying to break out of the encirclement.

It was originally planned to catch a turtle in a urn, how could Li Yunjiao let him do what he wanted.

"Not yet."

So many people invited you into the urn, if she still can't catch a single person, she will suspect that these big inner guards are trash or they are with the enemy.

After no less than three hundred rounds, the man in black was laid down and pinned to the ground by two guards.Ji Qing stepped forward and pulled off the man's face scarf, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and his eyebrows frowned: "Ling Zhi?"

It turned out to be him!

"You know him?" Li Yunjiao glanced at Ji Qing, and Ji Qing withdrew his surprised expression and returned to his usual indifference.

"It's King Li's personal bodyguard."

Li Wang?Bai Luochen's younger brother, Bai Luoli?This is embarrassing, brother reading wall drama?

"I don't care whose bodyguard it is, tie it up and look after it, and hand it over to your emperor tomorrow morning."

Ji Qing didn't say a word, and took him down, Li Yunjiao went back to the mountain and rested again, and they lived together peacefully all night.

Early the next morning, Gao Dashan Li Yunjiao was invited to the imperial study.

In addition to Dijun Bai Luochen, there was another person present, with a face like peaches and plums, red lips and white teeth, and streamers in his eyes. He was looking sideways at Li Yunjiao at this matter, his fox eyes were full of smiles, and his eyebrows were expressive.

Li Yunjiao's heart trembled, this is Li Wang?A look that has always been accepted for thousands of years?

"I've seen Dijun, this is His Royal Highness Li Wang?"

Prince Li smiled foolishly and said, "I've heard the princess's name for a long time, and this king is exactly Bai Luoli."

Li Yunjiao let out a groan, and immediately said seriously: "Then ask His Highness Li Wang, your bodyguard broke into the princess's room last night, intending to assassinate him, but was caught on the spot, what explanation does Li Wang have?"

Both Emperor Baiyu and Li Wang didn't expect that Li Yunjiao would ask such a direct question without any detours.Li Wang was caught off guard for a moment, he smiled awkwardly and said: "The princess may have misunderstood."

"It's true that Ling Zhi is the king's guard, but what happened last night was indeed not ordered by the king. As for why he sneaked into the palace to assassinate the princess, I'm afraid he has to ask himself."

Li Yunjiao can't do anything to Li Wang's sophistry, after all, it's on his territory.

"The emperor's words are justified. Although Ling Zhi is the bodyguard of the emperor's brother, he can't explain anything. However, Princess Pingyang is a guest from afar, and now he was almost assassinated in Baiyu Palace. I can't give an explanation. My face is also dull. Ling Zhi actually rebelled, how about handing him over to the princess if he is the emperor's younger brother, and the matter of the palace maid Taoer has not yet been investigated, and she will continue to work on the princess, what does the princess think?"

Bai Luochen's words let Li Yunjiao see the clues, it seems that he has not a good relationship with this Li Wang, and he is suspected of suppressing him openly and secretly, and he even borrowed her hand.

Although she was being used by Bai Luochen, Li Yunjiao had no other choice right now. She was now on the same front as Bai Luochen. As for Bai Luoli, she could only be the one she had to be wary of.

"What the emperor said is true."

Bai Luo looked at Li Yunjiao meaningfully in parting, and resigned, agreeing to keep Ling Zhi.

Bai Luochen glanced at Li Yunjiao: "What can we find out about Tao'er?"

Li Yunjiao shook her head: "Not yet."

"Oh? That's right, then you have to hurry up, time is running out."

Li Yunjiao shuddered, what did Bai Luochen mean?What time is running out.

Could it be??

Forget it, one sentence can make people guess for a long time, and it's really tiring to stay with this kind of person.

"Don't worry, Dijun, I will find out the truth as soon as possible, and clear myself up." Bai Luochen recited that that's the best, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Li Yunjiao interrogated Ling Zhi while the iron was hot.

"King Li just entered the palace..." Li Yunjiao said casually, causing Ling Zhi to pause and then said: "But he said that he didn't know about your assassination last night, and he specifically ordered you to stay here for inspection. Leaving the palace."

Ling Zhi's eyes dimmed, and Li Yunjiao asked again: "You and I seem to be strangers, why did you break into the palace late at night to assassinate? Tao'er, is it related to you?"

Ling Zhi smiled coldly: "Don't ask, I won't say anything, so there's no need to waste effort."

Li Yunjiao knew very well how to deal with such a smelly and tough person.Violence is far from being able to solve it, and we must focus on attacking the heart, so since he was arrested, he has not been sentenced to any punishment, but Ji Qing is only asked to check his background.

According to the investigation, Ling Zhi was an orphan since he was a child. Later, he was picked up by King Li on the street and brought into the palace.

Li Yunjiao knocked on the table, crossed her legs and sat opposite Ling Zhi.

"Do you know Taoer?"

Ling Zhi didn't raise his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Yunjiao narrowed her eyes and said sharply: "You are lying. Tao'er is the maid in charge of the Empress Dowager's Palace, and you are Prince Li's chief follower. As far as I know, you often follow King Li into the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. How could you not know Tao'er. "

"Not only do I know each other, but I'm also very familiar with it. I know that Tao'er is willing to have a private meeting in the middle of the night for you on the pretext of dew the Queen Mother's dishes?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Ling Zhi was inexplicably excited, struggling all over, but being tied up didn't help, Li Yunjiao clicked his tongue twice.

"Don't get excited, we haven't finished yet."

"I didn't kill Tao'er, you're looking for the wrong person for revenge."

Gao Dashan on the side was completely baffled, where did this come from?

"Yunjiao, you said he came to assassinate you to avenge Tao'er? Not to silence? How do you know?"

Can't help Gao Dashan, Ji Qing and several inner guards who were listening to the trial all secretly pricked up their ears.

"It's very simple. When Li Wang learned that Ling Zhi was arrested, he rushed into the palace early in the morning, but he left him without saying anything. This shows that Li Wang knew very well that Ling Zhi was not a murderer, so he was not worried. As for him and Regarding Tao'er, I found a purse exactly like this one on Tao'er."

That's why she asked Ji Qing to check Ling Zhi's life, and learned that Ling Zhi was an orphan, so she inferred from this.It is impossible for him and Tao'er to be brother and sister, they are lovers, and they are the kind of ulterior motives.

One is a maid of the Forbidden Palace, and the other is a guard of the palace. Let's not talk about how they got together, but it must have violated the palace rules.

That's why they met in secret. Tao'er appeared in the Royal Garden in the middle of the night on the pretext of collecting dew, just waiting for Lexus.

Then infer from this.

Tao'er was waiting for someone in the imperial garden late at night, and she must find a place to betray her, so she would be silenced if she inadvertently broke something.

Lexus, who came late, found Tao'er's body and deliberately alarmed the patrolling guards, which led to Tao'er's body being discovered in the middle of the night instead of early the next morning.

And because of the hairpin given by the queen mother in Taoer's hand, Li Yunjiao became the biggest suspect, and Ling Zhi was eager to take revenge for a while, which led to the following things.

"But what did Tao'er discover to be silenced?"

Li Yunjiao continued to deduce.

Such a complicated rhetoric made everyone surprised, but Lexus was extremely calm.

"It's no wonder that the emperor tied you here. He really has a keen mind." At this time, Ling Zhi had to admire Li Yunjiao's reasoning ability. With only two purses, he deduced the matter in close proximity, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

As far as Ling Zhi's words mean, do you admit what Li Yunjiao said?

"Up to now, I have nothing to hide. That night I did sneak into the palace to meet Tao'er privately. Tao'er and I have been in love for a long time. Shan Feng Tao'er left the palace at the age of [-], and I married her ."

Who knew that such an incident would happen, Ling Zhi mistakenly thought that Li Yunjiao was the murderer, so...

"You really didn't cause Tao'er?"

Li Yunjiao nodded: "No, I also took the blame for others, so I want to find the murderer, Ling Zhi, if you want to avenge Taoer, you must help me."

Ling Zhi was startled, help her?how to help

"Let me ask you a question. When is the exact time you agreed to meet Tao'er?"

Ling Zhi replied: "The moment of the child."

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjiao said: "According to the ladies in the palace, Tao'er left the door at three o'clock in Haishi. At that time, someone happened to see it at night and asked about it. Tao'er said that she was collecting dew for the queen mother. Being killed, within the time agreed with you, there is only two quarters of an hour."

"To be able to kill Tao'er in such a short period of time, clean up the scene perfectly, and even have a chance to frame me, this person is absolutely extraordinary, and he is in the Forbidden Palace. During that time period, who else appeared besides the guards on duty? In the palace? Why is it in the palace? It’s still such a secret place.”

Li Yunjiao felt that she was becoming more and more truthful, and the others listened attentively, even when the prison came, no one noticed.

"Wonderful, really wonderful." Li Wang clapped his hands and appeared behind the emperor, praising Li Yunjiao's reasoning.

The guards headed by Ji Qing knelt down to salute, Gao Dashan stood behind Li Yunjiao motionlessly, staring at Li Wang, with a pretty face, he must keep his wife away.

Instead, Bai Luochen pursed his lips and urged, "Continue talking."

Li Yunjiao pursed her lips.

"I have interrupted my train of thought, so what do I say? I don't know that inspiration can't be interrupted!"

Bai Luochen was in a panic: "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the room to wash and sleep, why, I want to go to bed with my husband, the emperor is interested in observing?"

After Li Yunjiao and the others left, Bai Luochen was still angry, staring at the cell door and grinding his teeth.

Li Wang covered his mouth and snickered. In his lifetime, he could still see someone annoyed the emperor into such a state, but he couldn't do anything to the other party. This woman is really unique!

The Baiyu Emperor, who is known for his smiling face, can also break his kung fu, so Bai Luoli felt that today's visit was not in vain.

"According to the emperor's opinion, this matter??"

"Wait." Bai Luochen gritted his teeth, he wanted to wait and see, to see what Li Yunjiao could do, to see how she could find out the murderer.

Bai Luoli touched his nose and remained silent.

The next day.

Li Yunjiao asked Wu Zuo again, it was summer now, the sky was dry, and Tao'er's body had begun to rot and smell, no matter how tough Li Yunjiao was, she couldn't accept to personally inspect the body.

According to Wu Zuo, Tao'er was strangled to death, and there were purple and blue finger marks on her neck. The fingerprints were thick, and the force was so strong that she almost pinched her neck. From this, it can be guessed that the murderer was most likely a man.

Among all the imperial guards who were on duty in the Royal Garden that night, two of them disappeared during the changing of the guard. They claimed to go to the toilet.

One of them was named Jin Lan, whose bodyguard clothes were different from the others. Li Yunjiao noticed that the clothes of the other bodyguards were half-new and half-old. Only Jin Lan's clothes were brand new.

When Li Yunjiao asked this point on purpose, the guard named Jin Lan shied away and said that the old clothes had a hole accidentally, so they changed into new ones.

Li Yunjiao didn't say anything, she waved people to leave, and called Ji Qing afterwards: "Spy on this person."

Ji Qing nodded.

night of the third day.Li Yunjiao asked Ji Qing to take her to hide behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden. At first Ji Qing was puzzled, until midnight, when two furtive figures appeared outside the rockery, and the voices were a man and a woman.

"That Li Yunjiao has already suspected me." The man's voice was full of tension and uneasiness.

The woman on the opposite side comforted: "It's okay, that woman is just the emperor's hostage, what kind of troubles can she cause, she will not be able to protect herself after a while, not to mention that this matter was done cleanly without leaving any clues, she is Even if you poke through the sky, you won't be able to find out about Bengong's head, as long as you act carefully recently, don't show your feet, and don't come to me in the near future, because a little unbearable will lead to chaos."

The woman's voice, Li Yunjiao, sounded familiar, she should have seen it before, but unfortunately it was too dark, and she was hiding in the shadow behind the rockery, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but Li Yunjiao could hear the man's voice, it was Jinlan who was suspicious during the interrogation that day .

"I know, I know everything, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if that woman finds out, you and I will be finished, Shuang'er, why don't we run away!"

The woman paused and said, "Escape? Where can we escape? If Bai Luochen knows, he won't let us go. There is no king in the world who can't escape."

"That?"

"If you don't do anything and keep going, if you don't just kill Li Yunjiao to silence your words, then there will be no evidence for this matter. It's best to make it look like she committed suicide in fear of crime."

Li Yunjiao had a stalk in her heart, she was indeed the most poisonous woman, so let her take the blame.Still want her life.

It's a pity, it's a pity that it was Li Yunjiao who met her, so I can only say sorry, because she doesn't want to die yet.

After the secret meeting of a man and a woman, they left in a hurry. Li Yunjiao and Ji Qing waited for a while before coming out from behind the rockery.

Before dawn on the second day, Li Yunjiao was woken up, and someone told the legend: "His Royal Highness, the emperor please go over now."

After Li Yunjiao got dressed, she followed the maid to Bai Luochen's imperial study room. There was a young eunuch waiting outside the door early on. Seeing Li Yunjiao's arrival, she didn't open the door directly to invite you in. Presumably, she had already explained.

Sure enough, Bai Luochen was sitting on the dragon table, Ji Qing was standing on the lower head, and Jin Lan was kneeling in the center, and the other one was Bai Luochen's concubine Wanxian.

is her?

Li Yunjiao suddenly remembered that she had seen her in the Empress Dowager's Palace before.

Looking at the situation, Ji Qing must have already said that, Bai Luochen's expression was not good, and his face, which had always been pretending, was gloomy.

"Let me be clear."

Jinlan and Concubine Wanxian were startled and couldn't help but flinch. Jinlan broke out in a cold sweat, but Concubine Wanxian preempted her just as she was about to stretch her head.

"Emperor, the concubine didn't know when it happened, and the concubine didn't do anything. What did the emperor misunderstand? The concubine was wronged."

Li Yunjiao immediately recognized that this voice was the female voice in the imperial garden last night.

As expected of Gongdou's material, even at this time, the psychological quality is still so good, it's really brilliant.

"Wronged?" Bai Luochen sneered, "Li Yunjiao, tell me."

Li Yunjiao lay on the gun and couldn't help cursing secretly, white fox!Don't forget to drag her into the water at this time, wasn't Ji Qing there last night?And he knew so quickly, presumably because of Ji Qing's eyeliner, but he insisted on her, obviously to set her up as a stick.

Li Yunjiao gritted her teeth.

Harm others and disadvantage yourself!

"Back to Dijun, at midnight last night, I suddenly wanted to eat grilled fish, so I took Ji Shiwei to the Imperial Garden, and suddenly heard something, so I hid behind the rockery, and happened to hear a conversation between a man and a woman, and then I went back to sleep, and before I woke up early in the morning, you sent someone to come to the imperial study."

Li Yunjiao's words were shocking, she seemed to have said nothing, but she actually said everything.

Concubine Wanxian, who was kneeling straight, closed her eyes and slumped to the ground, with big drops dripping from Jinlan's forehead.

The little eunuch outside the imperial study reported this matter: "I want to report to the emperor, Gao Junma asks to see you."

Bai Luochen's eyelids twitched, Gao Dashan's dog-skin plaster, wherever a woman went, he would follow him, and it was rare for her to be deflated occasionally, Gao Dashan would jump out immediately.

I can't see what's so good about Li Yunjiao, let him protect her so wholeheartedly.

"pass."

What can Bai Luochen do, the name of the county horse has been brought out, and he can deliberately block the door?Without losing his demeanor of the Baiyu Dynasty, Bai Luochen would never do this.

"Yunjiao, why are they looking for you so early in the morning? Is Bai Luochen trying to make things difficult for you again?"

Bai Luochen: ??

Ji Qing, who deliberately pretended to be watching his heart with his eyes and nose: ??

Is it really good to talk about people in front of people?Bai Luochen had a forbearing face, now is not the time to be entangled with the tall mountains.

"Jin Lan, you're as graceful as the moon, you're not telling the truth!" Bai Luochen shouted coldly, and both of them trembled in fright.

"The subordinate is guilty, please punish the emperor. If you want to kill or cut, the subordinate will never resist. I only ask the emperor to spare the concubine Xian. It is the fault of the subordinate. Concubine Xian... She was coerced by the subordinate!"

Seeing this, Concubine Wanxian bit her lip, knelt down and kowtowed fiercely to Bai Luochen.

"That's right, yes, this is the emperor. The emperor spared the concubines. It was this person. She threatened the concubines. The concubines were forced to do nothing. I beg the emperor to forgive the concubines, the emperor!"

Jin Lan, whose head was hanging on the ground, trembled all over without raising her head. She gritted her teeth and pleaded guilty, taking all the responsibility on herself.

Concubine Wanxian begged for mercy, saying that she was forced to do so and was coerced by Jinlan.

Anyone with a discerning eye can't see that Jinlan is just a serious person who takes the blame alone, but Concubine Wanxian??

It can only be said that the rabbit is dead.

"Come here, put Jinlan in the dungeon, and choose a day to ask to be executed. Concubine Wanxian lives in seclusion in the cold palace. Without my edict, she will not be allowed to step out of the cold palace for the rest of her life."

The reason why Bai Luochen did this was not because he was concerned about his relationship with Concubine Wanxian, but for the last bit of face, he acquiesced that Concubine Wanxian was being coerced.

If Jinlan hadn't been the only one to take the blame just now, and Concubine Wanxian hadn't called out for injustice, except for the two of them who would have died, the whole family would have been implicated in Bai Luochen's anger.

Both of them are intelligent people, and after weighing this decision, Bai Luochen would not make a big deal even for the sake of face. After all, the king of a country wears a cuckold, and it would not sound good to say it, Bai Luochen didn't know what to do. How many people are implicated in anger.

But in front of Li Yunjiao, Bai Luochen's green hat was very secure.
