Chapter 846

Although the imperial concubine seems to have accidentally destroyed the book, she has determined that it was the imperial concubine's intention!

She ruined the book on purpose!

Because of her guilty heart, she was afraid of being tempted, so she brought tea at that time.

After seeing off the other concubines, concubine Fei sat alone in the room and stared at the book in front of her, whose handwriting was already illegible.

She was almost sure that the imperial concubine and concubine Xiao were the same person.

But why?

Why did concubine Xiao suddenly leave?

After leaving, he returned to the emperor in a new identity?

There must be hidden secrets.

Concubine Lao tried to recall everything related to concubine Xiao.

She remembered that the last place where concubine Xiao stayed before she left was Weiyang palace.

Weiyang palace was the place where the emperor lived.

At that time, Emperor Sheng Yongdi was still alive. He left concubine Xiao in Weiyang palace.

But after emperor Sheng Yongdi died, concubine Xiao disappeared.

Some people in the Palace once suspected that there was a connection between the two.

However, because there was no evidence and concubine Xiao had disappeared, there was no place to investigate, so we had to stop the matter.

If concubine Xiao has a clear conscience, she can come back openly.

However, she chose to change her face and came back with a new identity.

In doing so, she proved one thing from the side——

She is guilty.

Because of my guilty heart, I dare not reveal my true body. I can only hide my identity.

A bold idea gradually appeared in Fei Fei's heart.

The death of emperor Sheng Yongdi may have something to do with concubine Xiao.

Assuming that emperor Sheng Yong's death was not a natural disease, but an artificial one, what role did concubine Xiao play in it?

Is she an insider? Or an accomplice?

Either way, it's enough for her to be doomed.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. At the same time, she also had a secret sense of excitement.

Her eyes lit up gradually, her fingers stroked gently from the wrinkled book, and the corners of her mouth raised a little.

"You're finished."

……

After returning to Yunxiu palace, Baoqin immediately asked people to get clean clothes and dress to serve the imperial concubine.

Xiao Xixi looked as usual. He didn't seem to take what he had just done in Yanyu palace to heart.

However, Baoqin felt uneasy.

When she changed her clothes, Baoqin asked everyone else to go out, leaving only her and the imperial concubine in the house.

Baoqin asked nervously, "madam, Princess Fei was deliberately testing you just now. Did she doubt your identity?"

Xiao Xixi: "she is not suspicious. She should be sure that there is something wrong with my identity."

Baoqin was more worried: "what should I do? If she runs out and talks nonsense, won't you be able to hide your identity soon?"

Xiao Xixi: "it would be better if she ran out and talked nonsense. Anyway, she has no real evidence. Everything is her guess. I can say that she was maliciously framed. I'm afraid she's bored and ready to hold her back."

Baoqin lowered her voice: "why don't we start first?"

Xiao Xixi: "I'd better discuss it with the emperor first."

She went out again and took a chariot to the imperial study.

Luo QingHan is discussing the tax reform with Li Qingyan in the imperial study.

After this period of continuous improvement and adjustment, the specific content of tax reform has been determined.

After all, tax reform is not a trivial matter. It is almost impossible to fully implement it in China in a short time, so they plan to choose a place as the pilot point of tax reform.

They thought about it and finally chose Fengyang County.

On the one hand, Fengyang county is not far from Shengjing City, so you can take care of anything. On the other hand, Fengyang County has just suffered a snow disaster, and the people need to recuperate. After the implementation of the tax reform, they can greatly reduce their burden, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

But Luo QingHan couldn't trust the local officials in Fengyang County. He was afraid that those officials would secretly collude with the local powerful aristocratic family and deliberately dig holes for the tax reform.

So he plans to send a trustworthy person to Fengyang County to supervise local officials in implementing tax reform.

Li Qingyan took the task on his own initiative.

He hasn't married yet. He is single. His parents are in good health and are taken care of by slaves. He doesn't need to worry about it. He can safely go on business abroad.

Most importantly, he can take this to avoid urging marriage.

Although the Empress Dowager has moved to the temple and won't put his mind on him for the time being, he is still afraid that the emperor will suddenly mention the marriage one day.

He really didn't meet the right person for the time being, and didn't want to be urged to get married. He just hid out and was clean!

In order to make it convenient for Li Qingyan to act, Luo QingHan temporarily added an official post of supervising the imperial censor to him, so that he could more honestly inspect the local officials of Fengyang County.

Hearing that the imperial concubine came, Luo QingHan said to Li softly.

"Let's stop here today. When you go back, clean up and start tomorrow."

Li whispered, "here."

He withdrew from the imperial study and met the imperial concubine at the door.

The imperial concubine is now wearing a water green large sleeved Ru skirt. The long skirt is dragged behind her. The golden step is shaking gently at the temples, which makes her neck more white and slender.

She spoke sharply and softly with a smile.

"Li Shilang."

Li whispered and bowed to her: "I'll pay a visit to the imperial concubine."

Xiao Xi's eyes stopped for a moment on his face and suddenly asked.

"Are you going to go away recently?"

Li Qingyan was quite surprised: "where did your mother know about it?"

He just decided to go to Fengyang County on business. No one knows except him and the emperor. How does the imperial concubine know? That's strange.

Xiao Xi didn't answer the question, but just smiled.

Just as father-in-law Chang came out to invite her in, she nodded with Li Qingyan, and then passed him.

Li Qingyan watched her enter the imperial study, and he still felt strange in his heart.

Although he only met a few times, he always felt that the imperial concubine was very similar to concubine Xiao, not only in appearance, but also in tone of speech and style of life.

If it hadn't been for the words Princess Xiao said to him before she left, he would have suspected that she was Princess Xiao.

Li whispered, shook his head, got rid of those unrealistic ideas in his head and strode down the steps.

In the imperial study.

Xiao Xi sat down beside the book case.

The book case is full of memorials. Although there are a lot of them, they are not disordered at all. They are all placed neatly.

Just like the feeling of Luo QingHan, he is upright and tidy all the time.

Luo QingHan still has an open memorial at hand.

But instead of reading the memorial, he looked at Xiao Xi and asked.

"Why did you come all of a sudden?"
