After searching for a long time at the place where she fell into, Xiao Xiao finally did not find the mechanism, but found a keyhole.Only then did I understand why Master Virtue gave him so much, but he didn't write the most critical way to get out.At first I thought it was just a matter of forgetting, but now it seems that Master Dezhi knew that he could not get out by himself and could only be rescued by outsiders.

"Then there's no other way," Xiao Xiao said to herself somewhat dejectedly, "but it's fortunate that I'm with Liu Ziming, otherwise I might starve to death here."

Xiao Xiao had nothing to do, but she was afraid that she would think about something scary, so she focused on the dead Taoist Bag.Speaking of which, the two of them had a bad relationship, after all, he was Yuyi's master, and secretly instructed Yuyi how to harm Xiao Xiao's master.But Xiao Xiao never expected that the two of them would see each other like this, and Taoist Budai died in the dark room of the palace for no apparent reason.But thinking about it carefully, the queen of this chapter should be Yuyi, otherwise he wouldn't have died here.It's just that I don't know who will kill him, is it Yuyi or Concubine Lan Gui who appeared here before according to Qingqiu?

Xiao Xiao frowned and stayed here for a while, but he seemed to have gotten used to the stench.But she still didn't have the courage to look over to Taoist Budai, so Xiao Xiao hugged herself tightly while thinking about the murderer, praying that sleepiness would come soon.However, until a ray of light appeared, Xiao Xiao didn't dare to close her eyes.

Liu Ziming asked the guards to split open the rockery.

Since Liu Ziming knew that the mechanism could not be opened, he asked the guards to dig into the rockery with various tools.After half a night of hard work, the mechanism door in the seven or eight-meter-high rockery was completely revealed, and then Liu Ziming asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to play, and after an hour, he successfully pried open the door.After knowing that Xiao Xiao was still safe and sound, Liu Ziming kept urging everyone to speed up to save people, and finally rescued Xiao Xiao at dawn.

As soon as Xiao Xiao came out, she was hugged tightly by Liu Ziming.Xiao Xiao, who finally relaxed, patted him on the back amusedly, feeling the tense muscles under his hands, and only then did he know how much Liu Ziming was worried about him.His heart was full of emotion, he put on a nonchalant expression and said, "Actually, it's nothing, there's nothing inside except a dead body."

Liu Ziming didn't speak, until Xiao Xiao struggled a little before letting go.Then he sighed deeply, and Xiao Xiao, who knew Liu Ziming well, could tell at a glance that he must have said some words of self-blame and apology, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, do you know who the corpse inside is? It's actually a cloth bag Taoist!"

Liu Ziming naturally knew who the Bag Taoist was.He who originally wanted to say sorry was stunned, just as puzzled as Xiao Xiao. "Why is he here?"

Xiao Xiao, who pondered for a long time, guessed uncertainly: "I think he followed Yuyi to the palace."

Xiao Xiao was already sure that Empress Zhang was Yuyi.After all, there may be two people who look exactly the same in the world, but it is impossible to have such a coincidence that they have such a similar temperament, and both of them are hostile to themselves, right?Liu Kaize also said that Empress Zhang was originally a big fat man of two hundred catties, but she suddenly became so thin not long before the draft. Xiao Xiao doubted whether it was Yuyi who took her place at that time.Later, after entering the palace, she let Taoist Budai also sneak in to provide herself with some secret medicine.Now that the emperor listens to her so much, maybe he got some kind of medicine from the bag Taoist, and then Yuyi murdered her to silence her.

Liu Ziming and Xiao Xiao thought about the same thing, so he called the people from the Ministry of Punishment and asked Wu Zuo to check the condition of the corpse here.It's a pity that the corpse was too decomposed, and the people from the criminal department went in to look at it for a long time, and finally they could only come up with a relatively high possibility, that is, this person should have been poisoned to death.The people in the Ministry of Punishment didn't know that Bag Taoist's legs were broken, and seeing the drag marks on the ground and the strange smell emitted by this person, it was easy to infer such a conclusion.But Liu Ziming didn't think that a drug player would be poisoned to death, so he walked in to see if there were any clues about being left behind.

At first he thought it was a secret passage, but after entering, Liu Ziming found that it was just a small dark room with a bed, a table and chairs inside.The body of the Bag Taoist was in the middle of the dark room, and now it was a lump of disgusting sticky stuff, with all the bones exposed.Behind him was a trail that seemed to be dragged to the edge of the bed, as if someone had pulled him off the bed and killed him in the middle.It's just that there is no blood anywhere in the dark room, so the Judiciary's deduction does not seem to be wrong. This situation is like the bag Taoist who was dying after being poisoned and wanted to ask for help but died after struggling to get out of bed.However, Liu Ziming found that the clothes on the "spread" corpse were not simple, and after a closer look, he found that there should be interlayers.

"It's normal if you don't know about this sewing technique, because His Highness only discovered it after reading some foreign historical facts." Liu Ziming waved his hand to let the officials of the Ministry of Punishment who came to plead guilty retreat, "But this should be a technique that only the royal family knows. Could it be that Taoist Taoist Bag is a descendant of the royal family?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head, then curiously opened a piece of thin cloth that she took out from the interlayer. Unexpectedly, it wrote the formula and antidote of a kind of medicine called "addiction".

Arousing the same emotions as the Chinese medicine practitioners and controlling the consciousness of others, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but widen her eyes.Liu Ziming also let out a cold snort, finally confirming what method the Queen Zhang used against her father.Seeing that the above poisons are invulnerable and can not die from serious injuries, it is no wonder that Queen Zhang was able to recover from a coma for a few months after being stabbed. It turned out that it was because of absorbing the vitality of his father!Liu Ziming wished he could take the sword and thrust it into the woman's chest right now, so that she couldn't be a blood-sucking insect.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, at this time the emperor rushed over with Queen Zhang, wanting to know what happened early in the morning, but Liu Ziming didn't even go to court.Knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been busy all night in the cold palace, the emperor went to accompany Empress Zhang to have breakfast first, and then wanted to come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

"I see you don't want to be the prince anymore!" The emperor's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward to give Liu Ziming a heavy slap in the face, "Last time someone persuaded me to give up because of this, this time I cut off all those who stopped me, and I fell Let's see who else dares to stop the deposed prince!"

Liu Ziming lowered his eyes. If he didn't know about the Chinese medicine, he would hate his father to death.But he already knew the truth, only in his heart was his disgust towards Queen Zhang, and hesitant to do it now.To be honest, it is really a good choice to fight now, because it is easy to succeed in such a surprise; but although Liu Ziming also practiced martial arts, how could he beat the hidden guards around the emperor?There is still an emperor between the two, so the so-called easy success is only a little bit better than zero possibility.If he did it now, he might be seriously injured by the hidden guard's conditioned reflex, and what awaited him was the punishment from the father of traditional Chinese medicine and the notoriety of unfilial piety.

Liu Ziming, who was deep in thought, was not thinking about the abolished prince that the emperor said at all.

To be honest, don't say that the ministers couldn't agree, after all, Baiyu is the only prince now; if he agreed, he still has half of his power in the court, so why should Liu Ziming be afraid?Empress Zhang is also a fool, she only wanted to pave the way for the child in her stomach, but she forgot that when her child grows up, the real power of the court will no longer be in the hands of the old emperor. Will be forced to abdicate by myself.Now you should think about letting the emperor take back the power that was released, how can you make things difficult for yourself?Make enemies from the beginning, this kind of person can't survive in the officialdom...

Liu Ziming was thinking to himself, the emperor saw that he had ignored him for a long time, and deeply felt that Liu Ziming was taking himself less and less seriously.The evil fire in his heart was burning more and more, he thought that this time the prince must be abolished, otherwise he is not dead yet, maybe this Liu Ziming will bring people to force him to abdicate.So the emperor flicked his sleeves, and didn't want to know why he demolished the rockery, so he turned and left.It's just that he put down a cruel sentence, saying that tomorrow Liu Ziming will not be the prince.Empress Zhang glanced at the two of them triumphantly, then tried to keep up with the emperor's pace, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Let him make trouble." Liu Ziming shook his head at Xiao Xiao who was worried, "It's just a waste, I am also the only prince of this white jade."

Seeing Liu Ziming's composed expression, Xiao Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.He originally thought that the prince would not be as big as the emperor, but now the emperor has obviously tossed away a lot of power under him, so it would be better for Liu Ziming to get up.That's why Liu Ziming had the confidence to say these words to appease Xiao Xiao who didn't know the truth, and then took Xiao Xiao back to the East Palace.

The news that there is a secret room hidden in the rockery will be reported to the emperor by the secret guards, so Liu Ziming doesn't care about abolishing the prince, but he cares a lot about how to assassinate Queen Zhang.If Empress Zhang was the murderer who killed the Taoist priest, she would definitely guard against them now, for fear of being exposed.In this way, the assassination will be even more difficult, it might as well just do it.But Xiao Xiao objected, because he had been observing Queen Zhang.

"I don't think it was Empress Zhang who killed Taoist Budai, because I have been watching her all the time, especially when she first arrived." Xiao Xiao shook her head, "If Queen Zhang killed Taoist Bag, then after we found out that we opened the secret room After that, she should be panicked, even if it was only for a moment. But I didn't find her flustered expression from the beginning to the end, but she always revealed complacency and some contempt."
