Chapter 419： News (three shifts)

The corpse that I saw earlier is still hanging in the air, but it is empty below!

There were some traces of fighting in the courtyard, as well as the bodies of several imperial guards.

The barrier of Qijiao Alley had also been broken, and it was apparently forced to break into it.

Chu Liuyue immediately searched the courtyard, but did not find any useful clues.

The only thing that can be determined is that the time of death of these people should not exceed one day.

Whether it was on the outside or inside, these dead guards didn't have too many wounds on their bodies. They were all wiped directly on their necks, killing them with one blow.

This is obviously a unilateral massacre!

Chu Liuyue carefully checked their corpses, frowning gradually.

It seems that the people of the Janissaries did not have time to resist.

Although these people can’t be regarded as top powerhouses, they are all well-trained, able to solve so many people at the same time, and they didn’t even leave the opportunity to pass on the message. Either the other party has a large number of people, or... it is extremely powerful. Strong!

Chu Liuyue prefers the latter.

Recently, the imperial capital has been heavily guarded. If so many people really came, the news of the fight between the two sides would have been spread long ago, instead of being like now, there are corpses everywhere, but no one knows.

If she hadn't just arrived today, I don't know when the situation here will be discovered.

Chu Liuyue thought for a moment, and then went straight to the palace.

...

The palace is heavily guarded, but fortunately, Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu have a marriage contract now. As the future princess, the palace people naturally let them go.

Chu Liuyue didn't find Emperor Jiawen, but went straight to the queen's palace.

Walking on the road, she keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was very cold and strange, and everyone became cautious.

Obviously, the Queen and Rong Jin's affairs made them all arrogant.

Halfway through, Chu Liuyue ran into a group of people head on.

The current one is Chu Ning!

Not seeing him for a few days, he looked haggard and tired, which shows that he didn't worry less during this time.

"Daddy!"

Chu Liuyue stepped forward quickly.

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Ning immediately raised her head and saw Chu Liuyue at a glance.

A surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he frowned.

"Yue'er, why are you here!?"

Chu Liuyue walked to him:

"Daddy, I have an important matter to tell you."

Looking at her expression, Chu Ning suddenly felt a sense of anxiety in her heart.

Yue'er has always been very sensible, if it weren't for urgent matters, she would never go to the palace to find him at this time.

He whispered a few words to the person behind him, and walked aside with Chu Liuyue.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Liuyue pursed her lips.

"Daddy, the guards responsible for guarding in Qijiao Alley were all killed! And the bronze cauldron in Qijiao Alley has also been stolen and is missing!"

"What, what!?"

Chu Ning looked horrified.

He anticipated that something bad should have happened, but he didn't expect to actually—

"When did it happen!?"

Chu Liuyue said the matter briefly.

Chu Ning's face became increasingly ugly.

"...In other words, I don't know who it is yet? And there are no clues?"

Chu Liuyue nodded lightly.

"I know that your Majesty attaches great importance to the affairs of Qijiao Alley, and recently you happened to be in charge of these, so after the incident, he rushed over."

Chu Ning's face seemed to have condensed a layer of frost.

He has been busy dealing with the queen's affairs in the palace these days, so he temporarily put the affairs on Qijiao Alley on hold and handed them over to his subordinates.

But I didn't expect such a thing to happen!

Even if his Majesty ordered him to stay in the palace and solve the problems here first, he could not shirk the blame!

"Okay, I see. I'll go and report to your Majesty."

Chu Ning quickly made a decision.

This matter will be known to His Majesty sooner or later, even if he will be punished, he must take the initiative to face it.

"Yue'er, you go back first—"

Chu Liuyue shook his head.

"I will go with Dad. I am the first person to find out about this, there is no reason not to go."

Chu Ning hesitated.

"This matter involves a lot, and Daddy doesn't want you to be dragged in..."

According to his various investigations in the past few days, he has faintly felt that the Queen should have played a very big game during her lifetime.

Although she is dead now, the matter is far from over.

Especially... now the bronze cylinder in Qijiaoxiang has disappeared inexplicably!

No matter how it looked at it, he hoped that Yue'er could stay out of it.

The corners of Chu Liuyue's lips bend.

"From the moment I went to Qijiao Alley, I couldn't get out easily. But dad rest assured, Yue'er knew what to do and what not to do, Yue'er knew very well."

Chu Ning looked at her deeply.

He didn't know that this was actually her rhetoric?

The real reason is...If she can come forward, to a large extent, it will be able to reduce his majesty's punishment.

Chu Ning felt relieved for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay. Follow me to see your Majesty."

...

Chu Liuyue walked by Chu Ning's side, and the guards behind them kept a distance from the two with a wink.

Originally Chu Liuyue wanted to ask the queen about the situation there, but after thinking about it, she suppressed the words.

After about a quarter of an hour, the group finally arrived at Zhaoyang Hall.

Strangely, it was daylight at this time, but Zhaoyang Hall was closed.

And the number of guards outside the hall was doubled than usual, and they looked like they were waiting.

Chu Ning stopped knowingly.

Grandpa Min, who was guarding the gate outside the hall, saw Chu Ning and knew that he had come to report to His Majesty, but immediately afterwards, he saw Chu Liuyue standing next to Chu Ning.

Min Gong Gong's heart jumped.

Why is this guy here at this time! ?

He quickly walked over in small steps.

"Master Chu Ning, Your Majesty is dealing with important matters at this time, please wait."

After speaking, she looked at Chu Liuyue again: "Miss Liuyue, why are you here today?"

Chu Liuyue said concisely:

"I have something important to report to your majesty with my father. Grandpa Min doesn't have to worry about it, we just wait here."

Grandpa Min is a personal spirit. Seeing the expressions of Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't ask any questions immediately. He agreed with a few sentences and then returned.

However, as soon as he walked back, the door was suddenly opened from inside!

boom!

A middle-aged man wearing a black brocade came out of it!

His face was very gloomy, and he carried a majestic aura that no strangers should enter.

When Grandpa Min saw him coming out, he took a step back respectfully.

But the man didn't pay any attention at all, just strode toward the outside with a meteor!

Looking at that face, Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

This look...a bit familiar...

Suddenly, her eyes lit up!

This man is five points similar to Situ Xingchen!
