Chapter 383： Counterfeit (three shifts)

Royal palace.

Yushufang.

Emperor Jiawen looked at the booklet in his hand, his brows frowned more tightly, and finally he threw the thing aside with a "pop".

"Chuning, I ask you to search Qijiaoxiang with all your strength, so you only find these useless things?"

Chu Ning, standing with hands down respectfully, immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the ministers have used all the relationships and methods that can be used, but it is true that only these can be found at the moment. Although there are hundreds of bones in Qijiaoxiang, apart from being able to recognize that they are all cultivators, other There is no information about their identities. Anything that can reveal their identity seems to have been specially processed by someone and can’t be found at all. Even...except for the corpse that is still hanging. There is not even a piece of clothing on the other bones."

Those who do these things are obviously very cautious.

Chu Ning has been sleepless these days, and even really dug Qijiaoxiang three feet into the ground, but apart from piles of bones, there really is no other breakthrough.

Emperor Jiawen rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

He knew that this matter was not that simple to find out, and it was useless to sit here in a hurry, but as long as he thought of the bronze cylinder stained with dry, dark red blood, he was full of worry.

Chu Ning glanced at Emperor Jiawen and continued:

"Refusal of the investigation, the Queen Empress will go to Qijiaoxiang once every two months on average. The movement is very hidden, and she only stays there for a short time each time. So for so long, she has not been discovered.

Emperor Jiawen's face was very gloomy.

In fact, he has personally interrogated the queen several times, but the queen’s mouth is very strict. From beginning to end, he only said that everything was done by her, but he never mentioned whether it was prepared for Rong Jin, let alone why it was necessary. in this way.

In the middle, with the acquiescence of Emperor Jiawen, the people below also tortured the queen, but still did not get any useful clues.

As long as he thought that the queen had deceived himself for so many years without realizing it, he felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead, making his whole person shudder.

"Tuk Tuk."

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness, please see me."

Grandpa Min said cautiously outside.

"Let him in."

Emperor Jiawen took a deep breath, looked at Rong Jiu who opened the door and asked:

"What news is there for you?"

As soon as Rong Jiu came in and saw Chu Ning kneeling on the ground, he realized that he should have found something out of tea.

He saluted respectfully at first, and then said slowly:

"Erchen personally interrogated the servants in the Empress Empress's palace, and got some news, which might be of some use."

Emperor Jiawen finally got some spirit:

"Say it!"

Rong Jiu said:

"According to the personal maid of the Empress Empress, the Empress Empress kept a box by herself and never allowed others to touch it. Every so often, the Empress Empress would shut herself in the sleeping hall. At first, the palace people didn’t care about it, but later An **** inadvertently broke in, only to find out that the empress was inside, seeming to be looking at the contents of the box."

Jarvandi thought for a moment:

"What kind of box is it that makes her value so much? Why do I never know?"

Rong Jiu sneered to himself.

There is no relationship between Emperor Jarvan and the queen, especially Emperor Jarvan. He is afraid that even one-tenth of his mind has not been placed on the queen.

If he ever cared about the queen, he wouldn't let the queen do so many messy things under his nose.

The queen frequently went in and out of Qijiao Alley, and even kept hunting down cultivators to accumulate strength for the bronze cylinder. Emperor Jiawen didn't know, let alone a small box?

It is too simple to hide from Emperor Jiawen.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It is precisely because of this that the queen silently killed his mother and concubine, but never received any due punishment!

Emperor Jiawen is not much better for his mother and concubine!

Rong Jiu suppressed the emotion in his heart, his face was calm.

"This child minister didn't ask about it. After all, the palace people didn't dare to ask about the empress and empress. But... the **** who accidentally discovered this incident soon fell into the lake and drowned. After that, the people in the empress’s palace were silent about this matter.

This time, he also used some means before finally asking this point.

"Erchen thinks that if you can find the box, many problems should be solved."

Emperor Jiawen had a solemn expression.

"You mean, that box has something to do with Qijiaoxiang?"

"This is just a guess of the son, and without other clues, this is the only feasible way."

Jiawendi thought for a moment, and felt that this statement made sense.

"In that case, Rong Jiu, you go to the queen and let her hand over the things!"

Rong Jiu hesitated:

"Father, since the empress is so important to the box, she shouldn't hand it over easily..."

"Tell her, if she honestly handed it over, I might still give Rong Jin a chance. If she is stubborn...let her do it herself!"

Rong Jiu's eyes flashed a cold light that was not easily noticeable.

"Children follow the order."

After speaking, he quickly retired.

Emperor Jiawen looked at Chu Ning helplessly.

"Chuning, you have to hurry up there too. It really can't, start from other aspects! Go and check all the people who have had close contacts with the queen and Rong Jin before!"

"Yes!"

When Chu Ning retreated, Emperor Jiawen relaxed his body and leaned in the chair.

Chu Ning is good at everything, but only one thing-the means are not enough.

In comparison, Rong Jiu's work efficiency is much higher.

After all, it was experienced in the Northwest Army...

Thinking of this, Emperor Jiawen vaguely felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He had never thought of leaving the position to Rong Jiu before, because he really didn't like this son, and the murderous aura on him was too heavy, sometimes even the Emperor Jiawen was a little jealous.

But now it seems...Rong Jin is absolutely incapable. Among the remaining princes, Rong Jiu turned out to be the most suitable.

Even ruthless killing is better than cowardice and incompetence.

unfortunately...

Emperor Jiawen sighed and seemed to be exhausted in his teens instantly.

If Rong Xiu's body is good...

...

Queen's bedroom.

The excitement and prosperity that had once disappeared in a blink of an eye, now a group of cold and lonely people is left with heavy guards trapping the queen here.

When Situ Xingchen arrived here, he couldn't help his heart beat.

Emperor Jarvan hated the queen so much...

A guard saw Situ Xingchen and immediately stepped forward:

"Princess Situ, please stop. Your Majesty has ordered that no one should come near here!"

Situ Xingchen took out a token from his sleeve, fulfilling the majestic posture of the princess:

"This princess is here by order."

The guard took a look, recognized that it was indeed your majesty's token, and quickly let go:

"Princess Situ, please!"

Situ Xingchen put away the token and walked into the queen's palace calmly.
