Madam let me die

The maid responsible for leading the way was a girl named Xiaolan, who was also one of the Empress Dowager's personal maids.

The girl has a delicate face and looks strange.

Seeing that the supervisor of the Xuanwu Department in the capital was actually a handsome young man, the girl of Huaichun age kept peeking at him, her beautiful eyes flashing with splendor.

Li Nanke noticed the girl's expression but didn't pay attention. He asked curiously in a low voice: "I heard that the Queen Mother has been ill since she returned to the palace."

As a maid, it is not convenient for her to tell outsiders about her master's situation.

But maybe Li Nanke was indeed too handsome, so the girl broke the rules and said crisply: "It's not really sick. The imperial doctor said that he was frightened and felt depressed. He just needs to rest for a while."

Li Nanke asked again: "Is it the same as usual after the Queen Mother returns this time?"

Xiaolan was startled, and her expression changed slightly.

The two of them turned around the corridor, and the girl sighed softly: "The Queen Mother has indeed changed a bit, no... not as lively as before."

Immediately afterwards, the girl explained: "Maybe it was due to excessive fright. After all, I was missing for so many days before I was found."

Li Nanke nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon the two came to the dormitory where the Empress Dowager lived. The maid Xiaolan went in and reported before letting Li Nanke enter the dormitory.

During this period, Li Nanke secretly drank a bottle of Red Rain.

The room is filled with a fragrance, elegant and distant, and the specious fragrance adds a sense of elegance than sandalwood.

The "Empress Dowager", dressed in luxurious palace attire, leaned lazily on a soft chair, holding an illustration book in her hands, and her eyebrows were furrowed, adding a bit of elegance.

"Li Nanke, Supervisor of the Xuanwu Department of the Night Patrol Department, has met the Empress Dowager."

Li Nanke cupped his fists in salute.

Between the salutes, he injected the red rain energy in his body into his eyes and turned on his clairvoyance ability to look at the woman opposite.

He wanted to see who dared to pretend to be his Xiaoxiao wife.

However, the other party's face did not change at all.

The most surprising thing is that Li Nanke's clairvoyance ability can't even penetrate a woman's clothes and cannot see her body.

"What happened? The perspective failed?"

Li Nanke was shocked and suspicious.

This is the first time this has happened.

Seeing that Li Nanke refused to kneel down and even stared directly at the Empress Dowager, the maids in the room, including Xiao Lan, were all surprised and confused.

Xiaolan glanced at her, but unfortunately Li Nanke didn't see it, so he had no choice but to worry secretly.

Fortunately, although the "Empress Dowager" looked displeased, she did not have an attack. She looked at Li Nanke and asked, "Why did Mr. Li come to the Ai family?"

Li Nanke came back to his senses, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am here this time because of the previous case of Cang Xiaoyue's nightmare."

As soon as these words came out, a gleam appeared in the eyes of the "Empress Dowager".

"Isn't this case already closed? Deputy Director General Jing personally investigated it at that time."

"The case has been closed. I'm just reviewing it."

"Audit?"

"Yes, the Xuanwu Department will review and check every case to prevent any mistakes. At the same time, it will also investigate whether there are any violations or other violations by the investigators during the case handling process."

"Even the cases handled by your deputy general manager need to be reviewed?"

"This is the process." Li Nanke said.

"understood."

The woman nodded slightly.

She put down the illustration book in her hand, took a sip of the sour plum soup handed by the maid, and asked, "I wonder how Mr. Li plans to review it?"

Li Nanke said: "The Queen Mother, please rest assured that your humble position will not disturb you for too long. You only need to interview the people who were interviewed by Deputy Director General Jing when handling the case that day, and conduct a second comparison of the case scene."

"Xiaolan, take Mr. Li to Xiaoyue's room." The woman ordered the maid.

"Yes."

Xiaolan responded and took Li Nanke out of the dormitory.

Looking at the man's leaving figure, the "Empress Dowager" slightly pursed her red lips, raising a vague arc.

The house where Cang Xiaoyue lives is in the innermost room of the west courtyard.

The door has been locked.Xiaolan asked the eunuch in charge for the key, opened the door and said to Li Nanke: "After sister Xiaoyue passed away, this room became empty. Even the other sisters no longer dare to live in the neighboring room."

Li Nanke was still thinking about pretending to be the Queen Mother. When he heard the girl's words, he smiled and said, "Are you still afraid of seeing ghosts?"

"Don't tell me, some sisters really saw ghosts."

Xiaolan lowered her voice.

The room was gloomy, filled with the smell of old mold that had not been lived in for a long time, and the tables and chairs were covered with a thin layer of dust.

"Did you see a ghost?"

Li Nanke raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Xiaolan shrank her neck after entering the house, feeling a little uncomfortable with the damp atmosphere here. She rubbed her arms and opened the window for ventilation.

Hearing Li Nanke's question, she whispered: "A few days after Sister Xiaoyue died, Sister Qiu, who used to live next door, saw someone in this room when she went out to use the toilet at night. She was frightened for the second time. God moved away.”

"Did anyone else see it?" Li Nanke asked.

"This does not."

Xiaolan shook her little head and smiled coquettishly, "Actually, everyone doesn't believe it. After all, Sister Qiu is sometimes suspicious. But after all, people have died in this house, so... I always feel a little scared."

"How does the Empress Dowager treat Cang Xiaoyue on weekdays?"

Li Nanke asked casually while looking around the room.

"Great."

Xiaolan said.

After a pause for two seconds, she added: "It used to be good."

"Why do you say before?"

"Because..." Miss Xiaolan looked complicated and sighed slightly, "The Empress Dowager was good to us all before she left the palace. She is like a child who has not grown up. She plays with us on weekdays and often listens to children's stories. Sister Yue tells stories.

Later, when the Empress Dowager disappeared and returned, she became depressed and depressed, and the smile disappeared from her face, as if she was a different person.

She doesn't talk or play with us either. She spends most of her time alone in a daze, or locks herself in a room by herself and doesn't let anyone in.

actually……"

Seeing that the girl hesitated to speak, Li Nanke asked: "What is it actually?"

"No... nothing."

After all, the girl didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Li Nanke spoke up for her, "Is there some rumor that the Empress Dowager was bullied outside and lost her innocence, which is why she is like this?"

"no no……"

The little girl shook her head quickly, looking extremely nervous.

Apparently Li Nanke was right.

After all, no matter how much a person grows, it is impossible to change his personality in a short period of time.Apparently he was severely assaulted during his disappearance, causing physical and mental trauma.

Not only in the palace, there were also rumors in Yuncheng.

However, Li Nanke believed that such rumors were actually spread deliberately by the fake Empress Dowager in order to disguise herself.

Let others deliberately speculate and find legitimate reasons for the change in the Queen Mother's personality.

Li Nanke smiled and asked, "Have you ever visited the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"

"I only saw it once, when the Empress Dowager just returned to the palace, and I haven't seen it since."

Xiaolan said.

"Where's the princess?"

"The Princess has come here several times, but the Empress Dowager has only met her twice. The rest of the time she was resting."

"That's it."

There was a hint of sarcasm on Li Nanke's lips.

This fake empress dowager is really good at disguising her appearance, but unfortunately her concealment of her identity is too immature and not sophisticated enough.

No wonder the Supreme Emperor was suspicious of him.
