The Golden Imperial Concubine

Chapter 249 of which the deep meaning

Time is like a white horse. I thought that the case that happened in Xie Yuan would gradually not be forgotten over time. In addition, the royal family of Xia itself seemed to pay attention to the case unexpectedly, so all the relevant personnel put away their curiosity. However, with the issue of an imperial edict, this case, which should have been forgotten, has gradually become the focus of everyone's concern in Linyun. Because it is clearly stated on the imperial edict that Murong Linyue, the president of the Supervision Institute, will solve the case within ten days, otherwise it will be severely punished. What's more surprising is that the day after the imperial edict was issued, Emperor Xia issued another imperial edict, asking all officials to cooperate with the investigation of the supervisory court. In addition, once a suspicious person is found, even if there is no evidence, he can do it first. If people just listened to the previous edict as a spectator, the second edict made the whole court officials panic.

Cut first and then play, what does it mean by cutting first and then playing? The implication is that it doesn't matter if you kill it wrongly. The man with intention began to speculate whether the emperor wanted to clean the whole court with the hand of the supervisory court. Among them, the most uneasy is Li Jinglue. Although Li Jinglue has now restrained a lot and is not as private as before, he still holds most of the imperial power in his hands. Not only that, Emperor Chu has secretly made some Jiangnan forces for him, but this is also something that has only begun recently. Could it be that this has been known by Emperor Xia, so he is so eager to use the hand of the Supervision Institute to eradicate himself?

Wu naturally understood Li Jinglue's worries, but she could not give much advice on this incident, because it was beyond her ability: "Sir, relax. Maybe the emperor just wants to find out the murderer this time."

"No, no." Li Jing said in a low tone and shook his head, "It is impossible for the emperor to do such an unreasonable thing. If the death of the ninth princess really made the emperor angry, why wait until today to settle accounts after autumn? This is obviously unreasonable. Not only that, the emperor also allowed the supervisory court to be cut first and then play. What does it mean to be cut first and then play? It is clear that the emperor wants to clean up the whole court by the death of the ninth princess.

Wu frowned and said, "Sir, I always feel that the death of Princess Nine this time is extremely strange. Why did she die in Xie Yuan? And I heard a little news. It is said that the ninth princess asked the queen to do something a few days ago.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Jingluo immediately asked.

I heard that the ninth princess liked Ouyang Wan, the imperial guard, so she went to ask the empress to let the queen talk to the emperor, and this matter was over later. Now that I think about it, will it have anything to do with this incident?"

"Madam, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" There is obviously some blame in Li Jinglue's tone.

"I think this is just the thought of an ordinary daughter's family. If you want to listen to it, you don't need to tell the master in particular."

"The thoughts of an ordinary daughter's family?" Li Jing sneered and said, "She is the ninth princess of the emperor. Can she make an ordinary daughter's house, Jiuxuan agate, hehe, it seems that it's really not simple. To tell the truth, the ninth princess once gave me a string of nine agates and asked me to protect the sixth prince in the court. At that time, I felt strange. Now it seems that she is really not simple. Perhaps, even the completely unidentical body is just fake.

"How come? Hasn't the imperial mausoleum been buried?"

"Burial of the Imperial Mausoleum? The whole royal family didn't say anything. It used to be like a mute, but now it's a big deal to find the murderer. Li Jing sighed slightly and said, "I just hope that the supervisory institute won't let mad dogs bite people."

"Sir, why don't we try the attitude of the Supervision Institute?"

"No, I think it's better to deal less with Murong Lingyue."

When Wu heard Li Jinglue's words, she had to nod. At present, the situation was changing rapidly and uncertain. She could only wait quietly and do nothing.

In addition to Li Jinglue's court officials who are already in danger, Ling Yue, who is in the center of the whirlpool, is also confused. Compared with the second edict that people care about, she is more concerned about what is said in the first edict that if the case cannot be solved within ten days, it will be severely punished. Severe punishment, how can it be severely punished? In the eyes of others, it seems to be just talking casually, but the more inconclusive it is, the more frightening it is. What's more, when the second imperial edict is issued, all court officials are afraid of the supervisory court, which has no intention to cause great resistance to the investigation of the case. This is not helping themselves investigate, but it is clear that Want to destroy. From this point of view, Ling Yue felt that Emperor Xia was clearly targeting her this time. On the other hand, although she already knows what the murderer used, she can't know who the murderer is. Jiang Mozhu was also suspected before, but the intelligence showed that Jiang Mozhu had returned to the State of Jin. If it was done by someone, it would be another matter.

Speaking of which, Xia Chen's reaction was too calm. Although he has narcolepsy, there is always a time to wake up, but he doesn't see anything when he wakes up. And the whole royal family is also extremely quiet without any movement. It can be seen that there must be some hidden situation in it.

"Ten days, even if Holmes is alive, it is impossible to find the murderer." Ling Yue closed the account book and looked at Liu Xi coldly, "Prince Liu, why do I think the emperor seems to be deliberately targeting the Supervision Institute this time? Oh, no, it should be deliberately targeting me, Murong Lingyue. The father-in-law said, didn't he?"

Liu Xi bent down and said in a respectful tone, "Dean, where are you? The emperor is also too sad because of the death of the ninth princess. Besides, if you find the murderer ten days later, it will be a great achievement, and the emperor said that he asked all the court officials to assist you. You are more It is the power to be killed first and then play later.

"Yes, why did I forget that there is also a power to kill first and play later? In this case, I am quite suspicious when I see Grandpa Liu. Liu Ye, kill him." Ling Yue said casually, but from her expression, she didn't seem to be joking.

The night was like frost, approaching Liu Xi step by step. Even if Liu Xi doesn't know martial arts, he can feel the murderous spirit emanating from Liu Ye's body, so he involuntarily stepped back a few steps: "Dean, you, you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. How can I be a murderer? Dean, you must have made a mistake."

"The emperor said that I can cut first and then play." Ling Yue said, "So, I will kill your father-in-law first, and then report to the emperor. Even if the emperor blames him, I will pay for my life. What's wrong? You should feel honored to have this princess pay for your father-in-law's life. I think the emperor would agree if he knew it.

Seeing that Liu Ye had come to him, Liu Xi became more and more frightened. He did not doubt that Liu Ye would kill him without hesitation, nor did he doubt it. Ling Yue just joked, "Dean, why do you have to get along with such a humble slave as me?"

"Yes, why can't I get along with such a lowly slave like you? It's not because your master and I can't get along, but if you know something, maybe I'm in a good mood and just think nothing has happened. Ling Yue said harshly, "This is the last chance, Eunuch Liu, please think about it. Don't say that I killed you. Even if I kill the emperor, as long as Liu Ye is here, the president of the supervisory court will not do it, but Mr. Liu, you only have one life, and you will die. Do you understand what this princess means?"
