Chapter 786

"I……"

Situ Xin glanced at Rufei.

I feel that there is no need to mention Xia Cao's death to her.

After all, Ru Fei is such a weak woman, why should she let these dirty things scare her?
"It's just that the queen has not recovered for a long time, and I am worried about her."

"Your Majesty is right. The empress's frail body is worrying. However, the empress is surrounded by a capable maid Xia Cao to take care of her. She will recover soon."

Concubine Ru contemplated for a long time, and finally brought the topic to Xia Cao in a logical manner.

Situ Xin gave her a strange look:
"Aifei is also very impressed with Xiacao?"

"Of course, Miss Xiacao is smart, capable, and loyal to the Queen. There are no concubines in the palace who don't know about her. However, I do remember..."

Rufei pursed her lips and smiled softly:
"Before Xia Cao, did you quarrel with Concubine Rui?"

"Arguing? What are you arguing about?"

Situ Xin frowned and stared at Concubine Ru even more.

Concubine Ru pretends not to notice:

"It seems to be, say... what, the dress was damaged by summer grass?"

Situ's confidence was greatly shaken, Ruo Lanlan never even mentioned the name Xia Cao when talking to him.

Xia Cao was found by Wang An.

There is no doubt about Wang An's loyalty to him, and there is no need for Wang An to tell Concubine Rui.

If she knew that the dress was damaged by Xia Cao, would Concubine Rui jump to Tai'an Palace early in the morning, or complain to him?

unless……

Concubine Ru is lying.

But at this juncture, why would she tell this lie?

Once Situ Xin thought deeply, he discovered many doubts, so he asked Concubine Ru with a half-smile:

"There is such a thing? Concubine Ri Rui did tell me about the dress, but she didn't mention Xia Cao."

Concubine Ru suddenly choked, she was counting thousands of times, but she didn't expect that the emperor already knew about it, so she could only say dryly:

"Is that so? Maybe it was Concubine Rui who guessed it was Xia Cao..."

Situ Xin's face darkened slightly, Rufei did it on purpose.

She intentionally brought up the conflict between Ruo Lanlan and Xia Cao, what is her intention?
"It doesn't matter, it's not important. Xia Cao has returned to Tai'an Palace today. I ordered her to take good care of the queen. Concubine Rui will definitely not cause trouble for her."

Situ Xin fixed his gaze on Rufei's reaction.

"Xia Cao has returned to the palace?!"

Rufei almost screamed.

But she immediately discovered her gaffe:
"If the emperor doesn't say anything, the concubine doesn't know that Xia Cao has left the palace."

She is lying again. How many days has Xia Cao been out of the palace? Who knows about the concubines in the palace?

Why is Ru Fei so aware of Xia Cao's movements?

Could it be that she already knew that Xia Cao was dead and was going to...

For a moment, a thread connected Situ Xin's previous questions together. He realized something and was shocked and angry:
"Concubine Ru, I still have some things to attend to, so I'll see you later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Concubine Ru saw Situ Xin leaving, her face was very ugly, she couldn't help but feel proud:
Did the emperor realize that Concubine Rui might be the one who murdered Xia Cao?

As long as the emperor continues to investigate in this direction, he will definitely be able to find out, when the time comes...

She didn't know that as soon as Situ Xin left Qingyi Palace, he immediately ordered people to surround Qingyi Palace heavily. Anyone who entered or left would be carefully monitored.

Situ Xin hurried back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and asked Wang An to check again, where Xia Cao had been these past few days, and Concubine Ru...

Is there anyone in the palace who has contact with the outside world at the same time?
