Lu Wanyi ran back to the bedroom in a panic. Xiaoying was wiping the tables and chairs. Seeing this, she put down the cloth in her hand, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Wanyi looked nervous, she didn't have much time, so she had time to say: "Xiaoying, I usually treat you well, right?"

Xiaoying felt that her chance had come, and she said sincerely, "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, just tell me."

"It's like this... When the Huide Guild comes to arrest me, I will enter a state of suspended animation." Lu Wanyi stuffed the bracelet in her hand, "Remember, no matter where I am buried, you will be buried in three days. Remember to dig me out."

Xiaoying was taken aback, she didn't expect such a life-threatening event, so she hesitated for a while.Lu Wanyi shook her and said, "As long as you dig me out in three days, I will thank you very much."

The benefits really made her take the risk.

Xiaoying nodded, "I see."

"Okay...Okay, you go out first."

Xiaoying closed the door.

Lu Wanyi was always restless, she was afraid that she would be trapped in three days, but now she is only Xiaoying who can be trusted.

Lu Wanyi looked at the fake death pill in her hand, she hesitated because there was too little time, as soon as the father-in-law came, she would definitely get rid of her with an excuse.

Lu Wanyi took the medicine immediately, and after a while, her mind became blurred, the medicine dropped from her hand, fell to the ground and fell to pieces, and she fell slowly to the ground.

Gradually, Lu Wanyi's heart stopped heaving.

Eunuch De led the Imperial Guards to come quickly, Xiaoying pretended not to know, and was sweeping the floor silently, "Greetings, Eunuch, Niangniang is resting inside, I don't know what's the matter with Eunuch coming here?"

Eunuch De glanced at him and smiled, "It's none of your business, just be honest."

"Yes!" Xiaoying withdrew.

Eunuch De pushed open the door and saw Lu Wanyi lying on the cold ground, he kicked her, then reached out to check her pulse, "Huh?"

"There's no reason to die so simply!" Eunuch De was a little puzzled, he picked up the broken bottle on the ground, put it in his nose and sniffed it.

"I see!"

Father-in-law raised his eyebrows. I have to say that Lu Wanyi is quite capable, but it's a pity that she underestimates herself, and doing so is just asking for her own death.

"Lu Wanyi hanged herself in fear of crime. You guys prepare the coffin. Although you are a sinner, you are a master after all, so you can bury it in the cemetery." Eunuch De glanced at Xiaoying outside, "You tell the saint about Lu Wanyi's death... oh ...No, it's the new king and princess He of He country."

"Yes!" Xiaoying immediately left the courtyard.

Eunuch De smiled, "Remember, the coffin is sealed with nails. It is better to be buried in the imperial tomb. Let Lu Wanyi accompany the late emperor."

"Yes!" The imperial guards looked at each other in blank dismay, but they could only obey.

……

Li Zixu's body was finally taken back by Li Zizhong, because Shangguan Yue was the new heir apparent, so she had to live in the palace for a few days and gradually accepted Shangguan Ling's position.

As for Mu Jin, she naturally became the empress's concubine, and she had to accompany Shangguan Yue when she ascended the throne, so the embroidery room also had to make new clothes for Mu Jin.

When Mu Jin sent Li Zixu out of the palace, she couldn't calm down for a long time, and she couldn't understand why Shangguan Ru was not the one who ascended the throne if the fourth prince was behind the scenes.

On the contrary, it was Shangguan Yue, who was opposed to the enthronement of a woman.

Mu Jin turned back to the palace, and the general maids followed closely, she was slightly disgusted: "Don't follow, I want to be quiet by myself."

The court ladies were obsequious, fearing that they would offend the future imperial husband, they were too frightened to speak out.

Mu Jin sighed, "I didn't mean to kill you, so stop following me."

Mu Jin walked alone to the Zhengqing Palace, which had become Shangguan Yue's bedroom. Even though there were brilliant flowers around the palace, she couldn't appreciate it.

On the contrary, I find it ironic that the outside of the palace is obviously better, but they have to be kept inside this red wall. They obviously yearn for the colorful world outside, but they want to plant their heads here.

"Jin'er... Lu Wanyi hanged herself."

When Mu Jin stepped into the threshold, he was not surprised by this kind of answer, "Has Lu Wanyi been in contact with anyone before?"

"Eunuch De, but when Mr. De went, he was already dead, and there was no evidence left behind."

Mu Jin stared at Shangguan Yue carefully, "Then... what do you think about the Prince Chu?"

Shangguan Yue pulled Mu Jin and put her hand on her heart, "Jin'er... I am also at a loss about the matter of the prince, you have to trust me."

Sincere eyes do not seem to be fake.Mu Jin chose to believe her, "Don't worry, I won't suspect that you did it. Since you will succeed to the throne, then take this position well."

Shangguan Yue's face was bitter, and he hugged her in his arms and buried him on Mu Jin's neck, "I don't want to be an empress."

Mu Jin was taken aback, seeing Shangguan Yue who was like a child for the first time.I couldn't help but pat her on the back in fear and said, "Don't make trouble, the imperial decree has been issued, and you will be the first empress of the country of He!

"kindness!"

A young eunuch entered the door and said timidly, "Your Highness, Fade Chen of the Privy Council is asking to see you outside the hall."

"Xuan!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness for inheriting the Great Tradition and becoming the first female emperor of He Kingdom." As soon as Chen Fei entered the door, he saluted with a "hehe" smile.

Shangguan Yue is used to Chen Fei's attitude, but it doesn't mean that the other party can be big or small, "Chen Fei, when you meet me in the future, pay attention to etiquette."

Fade Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he stopped laughing, "It's the official who overstepped. The official came this time to report on the investigation of the Ancient Dao City."

"Speak!"

Chen Fei cupped his hands, "According to the suggestion of the eldest son-in-law, the magistrate of Gudao City secretly asked the county magistrate to investigate outside the city. A large number of corpses were found in a deserted village. Most of these corpses were seriously decomposed, and..."

Shangguan Yue frowned, "Don't hesitate."

"Your Majesty can't tell for a while, please move to the Privy Council to see for yourself."

Mu Jin immediately pulled Shangguan Yue, "Let's go."

Fade Chen smiled, "Oh!"

The Privy Council is surrounded by flat land, and the residences of ordinary people are far away. Only the members of the Privy Council walk around from time to time, and they are dressed in black.

The inner door is also heavy black, which makes people feel austere as soon as they enter the door, like a cold knife hanging high in the sky.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Shangguan Yue became the future prince, and the members of the Privy Council were naturally at her disposal.They gave way one by one, but Fade Chen walked ahead with high spirits.

"Your Highness, there are too many corpses in the Ancient Dao City, and I can only order someone to bring two of them over." Fade Chen led the way to an empty room, where there were many beds and some corpses were parked.

"Look." Fade Chen pointed at the corpse, "This is already the freshest corpse, and the rest have basically turned into bones."

The corpse was indeed severely decomposed, the flesh and blood mixed with mud, covered with moss and young leaves, and a bright red flower emerged from the chest of the corpse.

The flowers have no leaves, only small, slender petals, and the corpse is odorless, but exudes a faint floral fragrance.

"This...does it look like the corpse of the Lin family in Huaishui County?" Although Mu Jin's tone was doubtful, he was sure in his heart.

"kindness!"

Shangguan Yue bent down and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers gently, "It is indeed fragrant, what kind of flower is this?"

Fade Chen shook his head, "I asked the imperial doctor to see it too, but unfortunately I have never seen this kind of flower."

It would be great if Li Zixu was there, with his dog nose, maybe he could know what to write.

and many more……

"Li Zixu once said that the medicine powder given by the national teacher has a faint floral fragrance. He has never smelled this fragrance before, and even Lin Tianxi doesn't know it." Mu Jin connected the clues in his mind, "You said... the medicine from the national teacher Yin, could it be this flower?"

Shangguan Yue frowned, "Where is the national teacher now?"

Fade Chen: "In death row in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Death row in the Ministry of Punishment?" Could it be raising flowers with death row prisoners?Mu Jin rubbed his chin, "Since you want to succeed, would you take the pills that Tai Jieer practiced?"

"What do you say?"

"Since you don't need this person, it's better to drive him away as soon as possible, so as not to be stabbed in the back in the future."

Shangguan Yue nodded, "Fade Chen, bring someone with you."

Fade Chen was delighted, and he cupped his hands respectfully, "Yes."

……

In the death cell of the Ministry of Punishment, it was dark and damp, and there were wailing sounds like purgatory on earth, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

A man in the depths of the cell was hung on a cross with a brazier beside him. There was a wound on his hand, and blood was dripping into the brazier "tick tock".

There was a bed in front of the man, and a woman was lying on the bed. The blood had been drained from the woman's body, and her chest had been cut open. Taijie was inspecting the seedlings inside.

"Please... kill me... I will never... dare to rape... a civilian girl... again!"

Taijieer walked towards the man. He picked up the brazier and returned to the corpse without hearing anything.He dabbed some blood with his hands, and carefully sprinkled it on the seedlings.

Then he lowered his head and sniffed again, and then nodded in satisfaction, "The color is good...the smell is good enough, and it really is more suitable to use a woman as a carrier."

Outside the death cell, Shangguan Yue brought hundreds of imperial guards with him. Seeing this, the soldiers outside the cell saw that it was not good to stop them, or not to stop them.

"Your Highness..." the soldier tried to stop him, "Your Highness... the Holy One has ordered that no one shall..."

Seeing Shangguan Yue's anger, Mu Jin stopped in front of her immediately, "Don't you know that one emperor and one courtier? Just pretend you can't see and get out of the way."

The soldiers looked at each other and had to get out of the way.

A group of people entered the prison, and they were quite normal at first, but the more they went inside, the death row prisoners begged desperately for mercy, "I beg you...just kill me!"

"This place is too scary... I don't want to stay here... I don't want to stay even if I die..."

"There are ghosts... There are ghosts here... I can hear people crying... There are ghosts..."

Mu Jin frowned, feeling more and more that Tai Jieer couldn't keep this person, "When did Tai Jieer take charge of the death cell?"

Fade Chen bowed, "Three days ago."

From a distance, Tai Jieer heard the movement outside, he wiped his hands calmly, "Alas... It seems that today is my destiny."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as you get rid of Mu Jin." Tai Jieer's eyes showed a cruel smile.

A group of people surrounded the cell.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone gasped.Mu Jin ordered, "Take it."

"Yes!"
