County's main favorite wife

Chengde Palace was closed, and people from Gong Zhengju had already entered to search for clues.The queen found Liu Gongzheng and quietly told her that Qin Qi, the lord of Feng'an County, was also missing.Ask her to look for it together when searching, and to look for Qin Qi first.

Liu Gongzheng was shocked when he heard this.She has been in the palace for so many years, so she doesn't understand the importance of Princess Feng'an to the emperor and queen.Even the disappearance of two consort princesses is not as important as a Princess Feng'an.This is a big deal for me now.If this matter is done well, I will definitely make a great contribution.But if something happened to Princess Feng'an, she might have finished her job.

The festive atmosphere in the palace was gone.All the female relatives stared at each other, afraid that they would be the next one to disappear.

Gu Li comforted the eldest princess, "Mother, don't worry, Qiqi will be fine."

The eldest princess nodded.So far, she has said nothing.I can only pray to God in my heart, don't let her daughter have an accident!

"Mother, I want to find Qiqi." Gu Li didn't trust anyone, she must go to find Qin Qi herself.

The eldest princess is such a smart person, she immediately understood the meaning of Gu Li's words.She took out a waist card from her body and handed it to Gu Li. "With this waist card, you can walk freely in the palace. Go, bring Qiqi back, don't let me down."

Gu Li took the waist badge and put it in his arms, waiting for the eldest princess to report to the queen.After all, she didn't want to cause a big commotion here.The Queen nodded to Gu Li after hearing what the Eldest Princess said.

Gu Li turned around and left. He showed his badge at the door, and the eunuch guarding the door really let him go.Gu Li came to the clean room and carefully searched for clues.She found a shining bead in the grass, walked in and saw that it was a crystal bead.The bead flower that Qin Qi is carrying today is strung with these six-faced crystal beads.This crystal bead was sent by Ling Guo, and Emperor Zhengyun only rewarded Qin Qi.

Soon, Gu Li saw several crystal beads rolling down on the grass.Apparently Qin Qi's bead flower was broken here.The bead flowers are all strung together with gold threads, so it is impossible for them to break for no reason.Thinking about it this way, Gu Li was even more worried.Qin Qi obviously struggled violently, but was still taken away.

"Qiqi..." Gu Li looked up and suddenly saw a purple cloth on the east palace wall.She flew up to the palace wall to take off the fabric, and at a glance she saw that it was on Qin Qi's clothes.It seems that people are taken from here.Just as Gu Li made a judgment in his heart, the person had already floated out along the palace wall.

After a few palaces, in front is the Chengde Palace of King Duan.

In Chengde Palace, Liu Gongzheng saw Gu Li, and said politely, "Master Sui'an is... looking for Princess Feng'an?"

Gu Li nodded. "Master Gong Zheng, if you have any clues, I hope you can enlighten me."

"Naturally." Liu Gongzheng bowed.

When Gu Li came to the dormitory, she dared to conclude that Jiang Nianwei had something to do with Qin Qi's disappearance.So if you find Jiang Nianwei, you will find Qin Qi.There will definitely be clues left behind when the three of them leave.

"The people below found something wrong with the tea in the teacup just now. It was checked by the imperial doctor, and it was added with Mongolian sweat medicine." Liu Gongzheng followed in and said.

"Sweat medicine?" Gu Li frowned as he stared at the teacup on the table. "Jiang Nianwei was taken away by a stun?"

Liu Gongzheng did not dare to call the concubine by her name like Gu Li. "Wei Chen thinks that there is a possibility."

"But why did you take away the two maids?" Gu Li couldn't figure it out.What's the use of those two maids from Ling country?Also the rice was missing.Whether it is taking Qin Qi or Jiang Nianwei, there is no need to take away the maids around him.There is only one purpose in this way, which is to prevent these people from leaking information.But with these extra people, the movement is bound to be limited.

At this time, a young eunuch came to report, and the party checked the number of people one by one, and found that Cheng Yun, the princess of Miaoshuang County, was missing.

Gu Li and Liu Gongzheng looked at each other, realizing that this matter was getting more and more complicated.

"If Miao Shuang has any plans, she will definitely not give up on her father." It was Princess Yuqian Cheng Yan who walked in from the door.The queen has expectations of her, so she is also asked to help at this time.After all, it is a harem, and it is not easy for princes to participate.Gu Li is an outsider, not familiar with the affairs of the palace.Liu Gongzheng is also a female official, facing so many masters, it is inevitable that he needs to ask for instructions, so it will take too much time. "I've already arranged for people to secure the place where my uncle is imprisoned. Only Miao Shuang will be able to catch him if he shows up."

"What if she doesn't show up?" Gu Li asked.

Cheng Yan shook her head, "That means she is also a victim."

Gu Li still frowned.This kind of scrambling to solve a case is really not suitable for her.It would be great if the elder sister Yi Jiachenxu was here.

"Senior Sister, what are you thinking?" Cheng Yan looked at Gu Li and just frowned and said nothing, obviously her thoughts had drifted away.

Gu Li sighed, "It's nothing, I was thinking about Elder Sister."

Cheng Yan pursed her lips, "You are not the only one from Feiyejin."

Gu Li looked at her, not knowing what she meant.

"I'm here. I'll help you find Feng'an this time, and you help me find Princess Xi Luo and Miao Shuang, how about it?" Since she accepted the Queen's dispatch, it means that she is going to be able to assist the future according to the Queen's wishes. The new king's princess.Then this time she will always have a result.

"As long as I can find Qiqi, I can do anything." After Gu Li finished speaking, he ignored Cheng Yan's obvious jealous expression, and his eyes fell on the bed.

The bed in the bedroom is full of red dates, peanuts and other things that herald the good intentions of having a baby early.There are also some fresh petals mixed in during the period.In addition, there is a needlework basket on the bed, which is full of ordinary needlework.This is a bit strange in the marriage bed, but it is also easy to understand.After all, needlework is commonly used by women.

Gu Li picked up the needlework basket, and carefully used a needle to pick out a little bit of mud-like things from the gaps in the basket. She put the things on a piece of paper, and observed them with Cheng Yan and Liu Gongzheng.

"What is this?" Gu Li asked.

Liu Gongzheng wiped a little with his hands, twisted it, and sniffed it. "Looks like oil stains. Smokey."

"Oil stains?" Cheng Yan repeated, "Imperial dining room?" When mentioning oil stains, one would naturally think of the cooking place, so the palace could only think of the imperial dining room.

"Imperial dining room?" Gu Li was not familiar with these places in the palace.

Cheng Yan is more clear-headed. "Brother Four is getting married today. People in the imperial dining room will not arouse suspicion no matter whether they come or go here or at the banquet. Also...the imperial dining room transports garbage out of the palace every day."

Speaking of which, there is still something I don't understand.The people in the imperial dining room can hide these missing people in the garbage truck and sneak out of the palace.

Gu Li thought so far, asked the direction of the imperial dining room, and rushed over immediately.

"Hey!" Cheng Yan worried that Gu Li would go alone.Turning to Liu Gong, he said: "Please, Liu Gongzheng, please inform the queen mother of our discovery here, and ask her to order the palace gates to be sealed, no matter whether it is people or things, not a single bit of them can be released from the palace."

"I obey." Liu Gongzheng said with a bow.When she raised her head, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, and Cheng Yan dodged to chase Gu Li.

Imperial Room.

Gu Li came in and was immediately questioned.She took out the waist card of the eldest princess, and these people stopped talking.Gu Li specifically looked for the place with the most oil stains to check.At the same time, he secretly watched the reactions of everyone in the imperial dining room.

It didn't take long for her to find a place with oil stains and scratches.She reached out to wipe a little oil stain off, put it on her nose and smelled it, and found that it was very similar to before.Her eyes raised slightly, and a court lady who had been secretly staring at her immediately turned her head away.

Gu Li ran towards her directly, and when she wanted to retreat, Gu Li had already grabbed her shoulder. "what do you know?"

"Princess... slaves don't know anything!" The palace maid shouted in horror.

"I'll ask you again, what do you know?" Gu Li's expression remained motionless, with a completely paralyzed expression.

The maid's body trembled violently. "Princess, spare your life! Princess, spare your life! The slaves really don't know anything."

The icy true energy in Gu Li's hand had already begun to gather.She was only worried about Qin Qi's safety now.In order to buy time, she doesn't mind using some cruel methods, she has never been a good person.

"Senior Sister!" Cheng Yan rushed over, seeing Gu Li's expression, she knew that Senior Sister was about to attack.She came over and took Gu Li's hand, "Leave it to me."

Gu Li glanced at her and withdrew his hand. "ASAP."

Cheng Yan pursed her lips, senior sister doesn't see herself as a princess at all, the tone of this order.

"Steward, what's the name of this court lady?" The steward of the imperial dining room followed Cheng Yan when he saw Cheng Yan coming in.Hearing this, she immediately said: "Princess Hui, this maid's name is Meng Ru. She is an old man in the imperial dining room."

"Go and find out the family of this court lady."

The steward of the imperial dining room quickly said yes, and went to investigate.

The palace maid Mengru's expression was even uglier than when she was caught by Gu Li just now. "Princess! Princess, please spare me! Even if the servant made a mistake, it has nothing to do with the servant's family!" She knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I won't talk nonsense with you. Tell me what you know, or I will attack your family." Cheng Yan narrowed her eyes.Gu Li doesn't understand the rules in the palace, but she understands them.If these court ladies dared to do something wrong, most of them would risk their lives.So it's useless to threaten her with life.Threatening with the life of the family will do.

Mengru just kowtowed to beg for mercy, the head of the kowtow was bleeding, it was still just begging for mercy and nothing else.Cheng Yan showed a compassionate expression. "It's because you don't want your family to live, and you can't blame others." At this time, her maid had already chased after her.She ordered: "Qingbo, go and report to the imperial father that this court lady participated in the murder of a member of the royal family. This is a crime of punishing the nine clans. Please order the imperial father to investigate and deal with it."

Maid Qingbo nodded, turned around and was about to leave when Mengru yelled sadly, "Princess, the slave has been recruited! Please spare me!" She raised her head, her head was covered in blood.Many court ladies and eunuchs around could not bear to lower their heads.Gu Li and Cheng Yan were completely unmoved.

"Speak." Cheng Yan said.

"Yes..." Before she could finish her words, a dart shot from behind her.With her back to the dart, there was no time to dodge it.Cheng Yan was also unprepared, and it was beyond her power to stop.Fortunately, there is another Gu Li.Gu Li was also unprepared.But she just took out the cangbo given by the queen in her hand.Seeing the dart attacking, she didn't even think about it, and threw Cang Bo in her hand, knocking down the dart directly.And her people had already flew into the crowd, and accurately caught a eunuch who was about to kill him.

When the eunuch saw that the matter was revealed, he knew that he couldn't run away, so he bit his tongue and killed himself without dodging or evading.Gu Li's attack was so fast that it was unimaginable, he grabbed the eunuch's mandible, and released the icy energy in his hands, the eunuch felt his whole head was frozen.His mouth was numb for an instant and he couldn't move.Gu Li was afraid that he might have some suicidal move, so he directly pressed the acupuncture point.

She was a little dumbfounded when the dream was like this, she didn't expect someone to kill her.At this moment, I also understand that this person is here to silence.So he stopped hesitating even more, "Princess, princess, servants are all recruited. It is the maid under Baohe Princess who asked the servants to take a needlework basket while delivering snacks to Chengde Palace."

"Baohe?" Cheng Yan frowned.Seeing that Gu Li came over and handed the Cangbo he picked up to her.

Gu Li took the dagger, but asked, "What else is there in the needlework basket besides needlework?"

Mengru didn't seem to have looked at it very carefully, but recalled it carefully now, "It seems that there is a key."

"Key?" Gu Li and Cheng Yan asked in unison.

Mengru only knew this, and couldn't ask more questions.Cheng Yan called people from Gongzheng Bureau to take her and the eunuch down and take her into custody.

"What does the key do?" Gu Li asked.

Cheng Yan frowned, "Maybe Baohe knows. But..." Seeing Gu Li looking at her, she sighed and said, "Baohe is my father's favorite princess. It's not that easy to ask her. It's okay if she is willing to tell , if you refuse... Frankly speaking, there is nothing I can do."

Gu Li thought for a while, "Go and ask Bao and the princess. I'll go back and ask the princess if she has any other clues."

The two acted separately at the moment.At this time, the eldest princess had already returned to Zhaoyang Palace with the queen.Gu Li asked for an interview outside the palace, but the palace maid didn't inform her, so she let her go.Obviously there was an order from the queen.

"Li'er, how's it going? Is there any news about Qiqi?" The eldest princess came over and asked Gu Li as soon as she saw Gu Li coming in.

"Mother, the disappearance of Qiqi is very likely to be related to Jiang Nianwei. Now that Baohe Princess was found out, a maid from the imperial dining room was sent to give Jiang Nianwei a key." Gu Li came to see the queen after saying this.

"Key?" The eldest princess looked at the queen.

The queen also showed a pensive expression.

Gu Li immediately knew what the two must have thought. "Empress, mother, what do you know?"

The Queen said: "Actually, there is a tunnel in Chengde Palace. I should have thought about it long ago. How can Princess Xiluo's master and servant three live people say that they are gone? Could it be that they entered the tunnel?"

Gu Li didn't care about that much, and he couldn't care about etiquette at this time. He interjected, "Could it be that the key is the key of the tunnel? Where does the tunnel lead to?" As for why there is a tunnel in the palace, she couldn't care less about curiosity. up.

"The tunnel has not been used for nearly 20 years. The key has been kept by the emperor himself." The queen suddenly realized something when she said this, "Could it be that Bao and her..."

"Empress, where is the entrance to the tunnel?" Gu Li asked again, interrupting the empress.

"Under the altar in the Buddhist hall in the apse." Just as the queen said the words, Gu Li had already left the hall.

The eldest princess looked at Gu Li's smoky figure and shook her head.Looking back at the queen, "Sister-in-law, should we ask Baohe?"

The queen asked the maid to invite the emperor, Bao and the princess over.At the same time, inform the head of the guards in the palace to strictly guard the gates of the palace, especially the west gate of the palace.

Let's talk about Gu Li, who came to Chengde Palace as quickly as possible.Along the way, some Ouchi guards were surprised when they saw her jumping across the house, because the speed was really too fast.Every guard thought to himself, if this is an assassin, can he stop it?Can you catch up?

Liu Gongzheng has already reported the situation to the queen and returned here.Seeing Gu Li fall directly from the roof, he was startled. "The princess is very skilled."

Gu Li just bowed his hand, and it was considered a return of the salute.In a flash, he went to the Buddhist hall in the back hall.Liu Gong felt that something was wrong, and immediately rushed to the apse with his maids.

Entering the Buddhist hall, I saw that Gu Li had already lifted the altar.Liu Gongzheng clasped his hands together in a hurry, thinking silently: "Don't blame the Buddha! Don't blame the Buddha!"

Sure enough, an iron plate was exposed under the altar, which was obviously an entrance.There is a catch on the iron plate, but the lock is gone.Gu Li reached out to lift the iron plate, but the iron plate did not move.She tried several times, but nothing worked.Gu Li's strength was not weak, but he couldn't shake it a bit, so it can be seen that there is still a latch inside.

"Hurry up and find the brazing hammer." Liu Gongzheng ordered.

As soon as the words fell, there was a flash of cold light, and Gu Li already had Qingyi sword in his hand.With a flick of her wrist, Qing Yi's sword went straight into the gap of the iron plate, only to hear a "click", the latch inside broke, and when Gu Li stretched out his hand, the iron plate had been lifted, revealing a dark entrance.

Liu Gongzheng and his subordinates were dumbfounded.Gu Li turned around and grabbed a candle from the messy altar, and jumped into the entrance.

"Hey! Princess!" Liu Gongzheng was completely unable to keep up with the thoughts and actions of the princess.Just jump down like this?If there is any mechanism next, isn't it going to die?Besides, how deep is it down here?

"Hurry up! Go and report the situation here to the empress, and ask for the guards to come over." This is not something that a group of court ladies can do.

After Gu Li jumped down, the Qingyi sword in her hand kept pointing down. When the tip of the sword touched the ground, she immediately used this strength to do a somersault forward, relieved the force of the fall, and landed safely. on the ground.

She took out the fire pocket she carried with her and lit the candle.Only then did I realize that the tunnel was not spacious.She just flipped forward a moment ago, if she flipped more, she would hit the wall.

The tunnel is very simple, there is only one way, Gu Li held a candle in one hand, and walked forward with Qing Yi sword in the other.

The road ahead was very narrow, but Gu Li still walked fast.Soon she came to the end of the tunnel, and there was a ladder going up.She blew out the candle and climbed up the ladder, which was also on an iron plate, but this time it was unlocked.She pushed it away.She didn't poke her head out in a hurry, but pushed the iron plate away completely, and after seeing that there was really nothing on it, she jumped out.

When she came up, she found that it was still a palace.After looking around for a few times, she recognized that this place was Zilan Palace, where the eldest princess lived before leaving the palace.

What exactly is going on?Gu Li was a little confused.But soon, she saw the crystal beads on Qin Qizhuhua again in the cracks between the stone bricks on the ground.This shows that the direction she has been pursuing is correct.Gu Li took a deep breath and continued to search.

Zilan Palace is the sleeping palace of the eldest princess.When the eldest princess mother and daughter are not in the palace, there is no one here.There was no one to ask at the moment.Gu Li didn't go far to reach the palace wall of Zilan Palace.Only now did she realize that Zilan Palace is next to the palace wall of the palace.This is a very remote place.She turned out of Zilan Palace and came under the palace wall.A guard from the palace saw her and came to question her.Gu Li reported his name and took out the waist badge of the eldest princess, and the guards immediately greeted him.

"How often do you patrol here?" Gu Li asked.

The guard said: "Go back to the princess, this is the inner garden of the palace. We usually patrol every half an hour. But today something happened in the palace, and we are all guarding at the gate of the palace. So here..."

"So there's no one patrolling here, right?" Gu Li didn't mean to ask the teacher for a crime.This matter is not in her control, she just wants to find out the real situation so that she can make a correct judgment.

The guard fell silent.

Gu Li looked at the high palace walls, she thought to herself that although it is possible to go up and down with lightness kung fu, it still requires some effort.She took a few steps back, then rushed forward suddenly, she had stepped onto the palace wall in a few steps, and with a vertical leap, she had already reached the top of the palace wall.

The guard just now looked up, his mouth opened wide.

Gu Li walked effortlessly on the palace wall.After walking for a while, she found that there were traces of rope wear on a wall.She jumped outside the palace wall, and sure enough, she found a piece of rope.It turned out to be up and down with a rope.Today, the patrolling guards are guarding the gate of the palace, which has created conditions for them to climb over the wall.

She was on the wall and over the top of the wall, and she had already attracted the attention of the palace guards.At this moment, a group of guards patrolling outside the palace walls also came to question.After finding out her identity, she was about to leave when Gu Li stopped her.

"Did you notice this rope here?"

The captain of the guard thought for a while, "No. There was no rope when we patrolled here last time."

"Sure?" Gu Li raised his eyebrows.

The team leader was not sure, and asked the team members to think together. In the end, everyone felt that they hadn't seen the rope last time.However, they always only pay attention to people when they patrol, and don't pay much attention to things on the ground.

What a waste of time!Gu Li couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"I remembered something." A guard said.

"Speak quickly." The captain urged.

"Before I changed shifts, I heard from Lao Du from the previous shift that they encountered suspicious people on the other side. After searching for a long time, they continued to patrol after finding nothing," said the team member.

"When did it happen?" Gu Li asked,

The team members thought about it, and named a time, Gu Li checked it in his mind, it was not long after Qin Qi and Jiang Nianwei disappeared. "Thank you." Gu Li cupped his hands and said, and he continued to search.

"Thank you... thank you..." The captain of the guard involuntarily followed suit.After thinking about it, how could the princess give such a salute?Isn't this the etiquette of the rivers and lakes?

The author has something to say: Thank you Sifan for the mine, I love you~~~~

The rabbit is lost, look at Gu Li jumping up and down, so tired~~~

Gu Li: I don’t have enough brain capacity, so I’m asking my teacher for help, over~~
