   Chapter 624 One Leaf (One)

  There are some things that you can't think of when you don't think about it.

   Once thought of, the least likely guesses are the most probable.

   Queen Qiao was silent for a long time, and her face became more and more ugly.

  Lu Mingyu didn't say a word. After a long time, he let out a sullen breath: "This is just speculation. In order to cure Li Hao's crime, there must be conclusive evidence."

   "Li Hao and Li Chang were imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion together. In the past ten days, they have not seen each other. If Li Chang was tricked and instigated by Li Haomeng, it must be before entering the Zongren Mansion."

   "Li Chang died of poisoning, not because someone poisoned his food. It was because he took the poison that he had prepared a long time ago."

   Although Lu Mingyu was guessing, his tone was very determined.

   Queen Qiao's mind was shaking and her thoughts were confused, and she blurted out: "Why are you so sure that Li Hao's evil hand?"

  Because, only she knows Li Hao's heart knot for Li Chang.

   Only she knew that Li Hao was not as fraternal as it appeared on the surface.

Lu Mingyu took a deep look at Queen Qiao: "Now this is all suspicion. We must find evidence, and the sooner the better. If my expectations are correct, the evidence must be on Li Chang. When he was searched, he couldn't carry the poison openly. The poison must be hidden somewhere on his body."

   Queen Qiao was in a panic, and she had no idea: "Then what should I do now?"

   "I'm going to see the emperor now." Lu Mingyu said solemnly: "General Liang is in charge of this case. I will tell him all this speculation and let him have Li Chang's corpse carefully examined."

   "As long as the evidence can be found, at least the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness can prove their innocence."

   Queen Qiao reluctantly calmed down and whispered: "The emperor can't believe anyone now, everyone in the palace is grounded. The only one who can leave the palace is the queen mother."

   "If you go to Wenhua Hall alone, you may not be able to see the emperor."

  Lu Mingyu said, "It doesn't matter if you can't see the emperor, and it's the same when you can see General Liang."

  Empress Qiao couldn't beat Lu Mingyu, so she nodded her head and instructed again and again: "Please put away your temper, don't conflict with General Liang at this time. Don't anger your father and emperor!"

   After so many things, Emperor Yongjia has a dark and irritable temperament, and he will definitely suffer a loss when confronted.

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, mother, I know the severity."

  …

   After a while, Lu Mingyu stepped out of Jiaofang Hall and went to Wenhua Hall.

   Having seen the three children and Queen Qiao, and making sure they are all right, Lu Mingyu's anxious heart calmed down a little. Slowed down, less aggressive.

  Arrived outside the Wenhua Hall, as expected, General Liang Da was already standing outside the hall.

   She had been in the palace for more than half an hour. The news should have reached General Liang's ears long ago.

   "I have seen the Crown Princess." General Liang bowed his hands in salute, his voice was solemn, and his sharp eyes fell on Lu Mingyu's face.

  Lu Mingyu said indifferently: "General Liang, please forgive me. I have returned from a long way from Jiangnan, and I have something important to report to the emperor. General Liang please pass the message in person."

  General Liang was well prepared, and answered without hesitation: "The emperor's dragon body is weak, and he needs to rest on a couch to rest in peace. No one is to be seen. The crown prince and concubine, please go back to the East Palace."

"That's all for today. The Empress the Crown Prince suddenly returned to the palace, eager to see the three little highnesses and the Empress, which is understandable. From now on, without the emperor's will, please stay in the East Palace, please do not arbitrarily. out of the East Palace."

   Such remarks had long been expected by Lu Mingyu.

   Hearing it with his own ears, Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel anger in his heart.

Flames flashed in her eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "General Liang said that no one was there, and he passed the decree on behalf of the father. If General Liang had a different opinion, and ordered the ministers under the emperor's orders, and disturbed the court, who would pay? Can you stop it?"

  General Liang: "..."

  The loyal and loyal General Liang was almost not so angry that he vomited blood. Flames also burst out of his eyes, and his voice was full of uncontrollable anger: "Prince Concubine, please be careful!"

   General Liang was extremely tall, and Lu Mingyu was considered tall among women. Compared with General Liang, he was a head shorter. General Liang is not only tall but also exceptionally strong. At this time, he is still wearing silver soft armor, with a long knife slung around his waist, holding the handle of the knife, and his face is expressionless, like a killing god.

  Lu Mingyu was not afraid at all, raised his head slightly, and glanced at General Liang: "What I said just now is not cautious? I am worried about the safety of the father and the emperor, and I must see it with my own eyes before I can rest assured."

   "You blocked me from meeting my father and emperor, and covered the sky with only one hand in the palace. What is your intention?"

   General Liang was not good at words. He blushed at Lu Mingyu's remarks, and the hand holding the hilt tightened again and again. A few words were squeezed out of the teeth: "I go in and pass the message, please wait for the princess."

  Lu Mingyu nodded in a leisurely manner: "I'm here waiting."

  General Liang swallowed the old blood in his throat, turned around with a sullen face, and walked quickly to the emperor's bedroom.

  Emperor Yongjia couldn't move, but his thoughts were clear and his speech was smooth. Seeing General Liang coming in with a dark face, Emperor Yongjia guessed what was going on: "Ms. Lu insists on seeing me, can't you stop me?"

   General Liang's eyes flashed with shame and anger, and he learned what Lu Mingyu had said: "...Prince Concubine's words are like swords, and this minister can't resist."

  If he didn't let Lu Mingyu come in to face the Holy Spirit, he would become a traitorous villain who took advantage of the emperor to gain power.

   With such a big hat down, who can afford it?

   is that people have weaknesses. General Liang did not love money or beauty, and he attached great importance to the reputation of loyalty. He couldn't swallow such humiliation at all.

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes turned cold, he was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Well, I will see her and see what she has to say."

   General Liang gave Eunuch Liu a look.

   Eunuch Liu immediately withdrew, slandering inwardly.

  Prince Concubine's concern is actually somewhat justified. The emperor trusts General Liang too much! In case General Liang had a disagreement, there would be no one to control General Liang!

  Prince Concubine Empress came back just in time!

   Eunuch Liu bowed and saluted: "The servant has seen the princess, the princess, please come into the bedroom to meet the emperor."

  Lu Mingyu responded and followed Eunuch Liu into the bedroom.

   As a daughter-in-law, it is obviously not appropriate to enter the father-in-law's bedroom.

   However, at the moment, Emperor Yongjia can only lie on the dragon couch. Lu Mingyu entered the emperor's dormitory, and would not cause any rumors. A strong and bitter medicinal smell, mixed with an indescribable stuffiness and a faint stench, hit him.

  Lu Mingyu frowned, quickly returned to normal, and stopped nine feet in front of the dragon's couch: "Daughter-in-law Lu, please pay my respects to the royal father."

  Emperor Yongjia turned his body sideways, his eyes fell on Lu Mingyu's face: "Lu Shi, what do you want to say?"
