When Murong Hao heard this, he frowned and squeezed Tian Mo's little hand.

"Child, tell me who killed the queen." He looked at Tianmo expectantly. For several days, Heiying and the others had not found the hiding place of the killers, and he was still anxious about this matter.

"It's Prime Minister Ye and several officials. Husband, please bring over the picture album of the officials in the court and the map of the capital. I'll tell you slowly." Tian Mo repeated Lin Yunxi's original words.

Lin Yunxi saw Murong Hao looking at an official's picture album in the imperial study. She only needed to read the picture album to know that besides Ye Xiang, several officials were involved in the assassination.

"Xiang Ye?" Murong Hao's eyes immediately showed murderous intent. In the past few days, he had guessed that some people would assassinate Xi'er, but it was not the assassination of the highly respected Prime Minister Ye in the cabinet.

"Zhao De, go to the imperial study and get the list of officials and the map of the capital. Hurry." Murong Hao called out.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao De heard the order outside the door and immediately ran to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, Murong Yuan was reviewing memorials on behalf of Murong Hao, when he saw Zhao De entering the palace and asked.

"The emperor sent you to get the list of officials in the court?"

"Back to the Emperor, yes, in addition to the list of officials in the court, the Emperor also wants to see the map of the capital." Zhao De said respectfully.

"Do you know what the emperor wants these two things for?" Murong Yuan asked in confusion.

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, I don't know about this servant." Zhao De confessed honestly.

"Eunuch Li, go get it for Zhao De." Murong Yuan ordered Eunuch Li who was standing aside to get it from the shelf next to the book wall. While waiting, he continued to ask Zhao De.

"How is the Queen's condition?"

Yesterday, a servant came to report that his wife was still unconscious as before. Today, no one came to report. It was rare for people from Longxi Palace to come over, so he asked.

"Back to the Supreme Emperor, the Queen still hasn't woken up." Zhao De said respectfully.

"Where is the Emperor, how have you been these past two days?" Murong Yuan was very concerned about his son, and was really afraid that his son would collapse because of the illness of his wife there.

"Back to the Emperor, the Emperor asked the eldest prince, the second prince and the third princess to move to the Longxi Palace yesterday. Yesterday, they started eating normally. Today, they started checking the list of ministers in the court. I think I feel a lot better." Zhao De said truthfully. answer.

In the past few days, he had been waiting outside the Ambergris Palace, and he could see that the emperor's mood gradually improved from the lowest point.

"Well, that's good. Serve the Emperor and Queen well and step back if you have nothing to do."

Murong Yuan said nothing and watched Eunuch Li hand two things to Zhao De and asked him to step back.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao De left the imperial study and hurried to the Ambergris Palace with two things in his hands.

Just a few feet away from the imperial study, he saw Prime Minister Ye walking towards him.

Prime Minister Ye saw Zhao De next to the emperor and saw that he was holding a thick book. He frowned and stepped forward to stop him.

"Eunuch Zhao, you are in such a hurry, be careful not to fall."

Ye Wenxuan blocked Zhao De's way and looked at the book in his hand, which was the list of court officials.

"I have met Ye Xiang." Zhao De bowed his head and saluted.

"Who wants to see the official list in your hand?" Ye Wenxuan asked while stroking his beard with a smile.

"This... this is what the emperor wants to see." Zhao De knew that he could not lie in front of the old minister, so he told the truth.

"Isn't the Emperor taking care of the Queen in the Ambergris Palace? Why is he looking at the list of officials at this moment?" Ye Wenxuan asked warmly.

"I don't know about this young one. This is the emperor's business." Zhao De held the list of officials in his hand tightly.

"That's right, that's right, how is the Queen doing now?" Ye Wenxuan asked pretending to be concerned.

"I don't know very well, I am always waiting outside the palace." The emperor asked all the servants in Longxi Palace to hide the queen's condition, but Zhao De did not dare to reveal even a single word.

"Okay, I'm going to bother Eunuch Zhao to deliver the roster. I have something to do with the Emperor, so you should go ahead." Ye Wenxuan made way for Eunuch Zhao to leave the imperial study.

Ye Wenxuan pondered for a moment. He originally planned to enter the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters with the Supreme Emperor. When he thought of the official list in Zhao De's hand, he immediately turned around and walked out of the palace. Did the Emperor discover something? Why did he want to look through the official list at this time? The roster was too strange. Today, he had to discuss with the officials how to take the killers out of the city as soon as possible.

Zhao De returned to the Dragon Saliva Palace and placed the two things he brought on the table.

"Your Majesty, when my servant came out of the royal study just now, I met Ye Xiang. He seemed to be very interested in the roster in my hand, and asked how the Queen was doing." Zhao De said, looking up at the Queen on the dragon bed.

In the past few days, the Emperor has personally taken care of the Queen, eating, drinking, and having diarrhea. It can be seen that the Emperor really loves the sleeping Queen wholeheartedly. He has never heard of the fact that the Queen will be close to serve the Queen when she is sick. In this life I saw it with my own eyes.

"Oh? You didn't tell Ye Xiang about the queen's situation, did you?" Murong Hao looked at Zhao De seriously and asked.

"Of course I won't say it. I said that I was waiting outside the palace and didn't know the Queen's condition." Zhao De quickly clarified that he didn't say anything.

"That's good, please step back first." Murong Hao opened the map and put it on the table to check.

Zhao De looked at Tian Er and Tian San with a little beggar in confusion. The little beggar was really dirty and had some smell on his body. He asked Murong Hao respectfully.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to take this child down to have a bath?"

"No, I will inform you later, please leave." Murong Hao was in a hurry and looked up at Zhao De.

When Zhao De saw the driving message in the emperor's eyes, he immediately left the hall in despair, closed the door of the hall wisely, and guarded the outside of the hall with his cavalry.

After the palace door closed, Murong Hao quickly pulled Tian Mo to his side.

"Xi'er, I'm responsible for opening the roster. You ask Tian Mo to point out who it is. We are going to hurry. Ye Xiang should have discovered something."

Murong Hao knew Ye Wenxuan well. Ye Wenxuan had been an official for many years and was able to sit in the position of prime minister. He was a scheming minister. Just now Zhao De said that he was curious about this list and he would definitely take action.

"Your Majesty, please do it. Sister Queen said she is ready." Tian Mo sent a message.

Murong Hao opened the list of hundreds of officials page by page. Lin Yunxi has an excellent memory. She clearly remembers the appearance of the officials she met that day, and the portraits of the officials in this list were all painted by the palace painter. Each stroke was carefully drawn, and the painter's skills were excellent. The officials were painted vividly and easily identifiable.

Lin Yunxi asked Tian Mo to point out the names of all the officials she saw on the roster, and then looked at Murong Hao.

Murong Hao picked up the list of officials he had recorded and looked at them. They were all officials from the pro-Ye Xiang faction. He frowned, wondering why Ye Xiang wanted to deal with the queen.

"Husband, those killers are from a killer organization called Fengying Pavilion. The person who escaped that day was hiding in a house on the corner of West Street and lived in the main room of the house. Don't forget it when you go to investigate. Have someone check the cellar under the bed in the main house." Tian Mo repeated Lin Yunxi's original words.

Murong Hao pointed to several locations on the map and asked Lin Yunxi which courtyard it was. After pointing three times, he finally pointed to the house where the killer was hidden.

"Yes, this is the house. Let people surround it immediately. They are trying to find a way out of the city." Tian Mo sent a message.

"Tian Er, tell Huang Yi about the house here and ask him to lead people to capture those killers alive. Remember that they must be captured alive. Also, find the black shadow and ask him to find the generals of the southeast, northwest, and southeast imperial guards with my token. Troops have been deployed to surround the residences of these dozen officials, so move quickly."

Murong Hao said, handing the golden belt around his waist to Tian Er.

"Yes, Tianer takes the order."

Tian Er exited the hall with the gold medal.
