Sure enough, the man who can make the queen pay so much attention and be willing to be put in the cold palace to protect, as a daughter, Huaiqing will not have a clue.

If I were Sherlock Holmes, Huaiqing, you are Watson. Xu Qi'an nodded and asked, "who is it?"

Huaiqing's cold face, even more expressionless and indifferent, spits out two words: "uncle."

The word "Uncle" seems to be the key to solving the puzzle, which makes Xu Qian suddenly enlightened. He connects all the clues and finally clarifies the context of Fu Fei's case.

"This uncle is the brother or brother of the empress." Xu Qian gave a tut.

Only the brothers of the same father and mother can make the queen prefer to bear the charges to protect him.

Princess Huaiqing nodded slightly, "my uncle is my mother's younger brother. He is a dandy who indulges in beauty. The maids in Fengqi palace hate him very much, because every time he goes to visit his mother, he will do something to them in private. "

In his words, he seemed to be disgusted and loathed to his uncle.

"At this time, something came to my mind. My uncle used to visit my mother from time to time, but a few years ago, he stopped. Now we can see what's going on. "

In addition to the imperial clan, the queen, the imperial concubine and their families can also visit them in the palace. They only need to report to the palace in advance.

Xu Qi'an squatted on the ground, dipped his hands in the bucket, looked up at the sky at a 45 degree angle, and murmured: "Huang xiaorou, the maid of the palace, was raped by her uncle and was pregnant. So I can't help but commit suicide, but the people arranged by the queen found out in time and saved her... No, it's not like that. "

Huaiqing, on the contrary, looked down at her toes and said in a soft voice, "didn't you say that she had a baby, then miscarriage, does miscarriage also close the uterine orifice?

"It's impossible to hide the fact that the maid in waiting is pregnant, but since Huang xiaorou has survived to the present, it means that the child has not been born."

Xu Qi'an said, "in three or four months, there will be stria gravidarum. After abortion, the uterine orifice will be closed. I prefer the queen to let the baby go, because the baby can't be born, or my uncle will be dead. "

Huaiqing nodded: "so Huang xiaorou, the maid of honor, harbors a grudge and joins hands with the people behind the scenes to capture the crown prince on the surface, but actually implies the queen and the Duke of Wei?"

"If that's the case, Huang xiaorou hates the empress to the bone. Well, it's also the hatred of killing her son. But I don't think it's that simple. "

"What do you want to ask?"

"Your Highness is really smart... Why didn't the empress kill Huang xiaorou? It's over."

"My mother is really soft hearted." Huaiqing shakes her head regretfully. Looking at her expression, it seems that she is sad for her misfortune and angry.

In this way, it seems that the queen is a soft hearted woman... If Huaiqing were to be replaced, it would have killed Huang xiaorou at that time and suffered from it forever... Huaiqing is a woman who can achieve great things, I can confirm that. Xu Qi'an raised her hand to touch her chin, and half of it stopped. As she put her hand back into the bucket, she said:

"the case will be clear. The queen must also be paying attention to the case of Fu Fei. When she found out that Huang xiaorou was the one who killed Fu Fei, the official asked her that day, and she knew that the person behind the scenes was going to use her uncle to count her.

"It's a conspiracy, either at the expense of my uncle or at the expense of myself. But then again, the empress is really a devil to help her younger brother. "

Huaiqing frowned: "help... What's the solution."

"I'd rather be put in the cold for the sake of a useless brother. And once she was abolished, the fourth prince would not be his own son, and it would be really out of the throne. "

"What's the difference between the concubines and the imperial concubines

"So it is." Xu Qian greet Huai Qing's eyes. This is the first time his Highness has shown his dissatisfaction with Yuan Jing Di in front of him.

"The empress never cares about the affairs of the harem. She is not attached to the Queen's position. She must be very willing to exchange the Queen's position for her uncle's life. However, the fourth brother must have a grudge in his heart. "

"That's why your highness took away the fourth prince?"

Huaiqing nodded and asked, "what about the yellow silk?"

"In the spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing, it should be the time when Huang xiaorou, the maid of honor, lost her life... No, it's strange that Huang xiaorou committed suicide four years ago, and Yuanjing's 31st year was five years ago. The 37th year of Yuanjing is just the beginning. Let's not count it first. " Xu Qi'an's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

Princess Huaiqing understood what Xu Qi'an meant, and said in a pleasant voice, "according to the calculation of time, she committed suicide after forced abortion. After the mother knocked out Huang xiaorou's fetus, she arranged for lotus to take care of her. "

"It's true. It corresponds to the results of our investigation. But don't you think it's strange, your highness? As you said just now, pregnancy and childbirth can't be concealed in the harem. Huang xiaorou is a palace maid. Why dare she do this, unless she is bold and fearless. "

"It can't be the father." Huaiqing shook his head.

In this regard, Xu Qi'an agreed.With emperor Jingdi's desire for immortality and persistence in cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for him to be lucky to be a maid in waiting.

"Let's go and ask this uncle. It's meaningless to just guess here."

Xu Qi'an's proposal is approved by Princess Huaiqing, who seems to have this idea.

They left the ice cellar immediately and saw the figure of the little eunuch from a distance. He had not left yet.

The little eunuch is a little sincere... Xu Qi'an went over and said, "Princess Huaiqing and I are going out of the palace. You should have a rest first. Don't rush to report to your majesty what happened today."

The little eunuch looked at him and said nothing.

"If you have something to say, don't stammer."

"Lord Xu, I'm afraid."

Don't be afraid, I will be lighter... Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "don't worry, I shouldn't know, I won't let you know. Just be obedient. "

The little eunuch was relieved: "with your words, I feel at ease."

Xu Qian thought that he could ride with Huaiqing in a carriage, but he didn't expect that Huaiqing gave him a horse.

Sitting on horseback and following the princess's carriage, Xu Qi'an went to his uncle's house. He couldn't help thinking of his beloved little mare.

When he was assassinated yesterday, he drove the mare away. After killing three assassins, he went to Yamen to recuperate. Until now, he still doesn't know the whereabouts of the mare.

However, before entering the Palace this morning, he ordered his colleagues to look for the mare.

When the car window opened, Huaiqing leaned out of her face. Her facial features were flawless, her nose was straight, her red lips were bright, and her lips were delicate. Beautiful eyes are like a clear autumn water.

"Even if the mother really took the blame for her uncle, the person behind the scenes still hasn't been found out." She sighed.

Instead of answering, Xu Qian asked: "what I don't understand is why the people behind the scenes didn't fight the queen until now?"

The two were speechless.

...

uncle's house is in the imperial city. Xu Qi'an and the eldest princess arrive at uncle's house and ask the guards. Then they know that uncle is not in the Imperial City, but in the old house in the inner city.

"Ask, when did Uncle Guo move to the old house?" Huaiqing opens the window and orders the accompanying bodyguard.

The bodyguard asked and replied, "this morning."

This morning? Emperor yuan Jingdi put forward the idea of abolishing the empress this morning. Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at Huaiqing and found that his first wife was also looking at him.

"Go to Shangguan old house." Princess Huaiqing said coldly.

It took more than half an hour to arrive at Shangguan's ancestral home.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan's old house is just a three-way compound, which is not much better than the mansion Xu Qi'an bought. Of course, in terms of delicacy and luxury, we must hang Xu's house.

Besides, there are many guards here.

Taking advantage of the slow stop of the carriage, Xu Qi'an took out a piece of paper prepared on the road to ignite it.

The carriage stopped outside Shangguan's house. Huaiqing stepped down on his pony and went straight into the house. The guard at the door didn't dare to stop him.

On the way, Huaiqing and Xu Qi'an talked about Shangguan's family history. Shangguan's family was not zhongmingdingshi's family. His grandfather, Shangguan Qingguan, paid homage to Zuo Shilang of Hubu and Dongge's bachelor.

But it was all after the queen of Shangguan took charge of Fengqi palace.

Before that, shangguanjia was just a small family, and Huaiqing's grandfather shangguanqing was just the head of the household department.

"The Wei family and the Shangguan family are close friends. When Wei Gong was young, he was poor and studied in the Shangguan family. My grandfather is half of his teacher. " Said Princess Huaiqing.

Xu Qi'an nodded. It was only today that he realized that Wei Yuan and the empress were related.

"The Duke of Wei..." he paused, or asked: "how did you enter the palace?"

Princess Huaiqing shook her head.

Through the front yard, the sound of wind music comes.

In the distance, they saw the door of the back hall open, seven or eight dancers in gauze dancing, and the musicians playing music.

Xu Qi'an widened his eyes. To tell the truth, he was used to seeing such scenes in the Department of Jiaofang, but even the dancers in the Department of Jiaofang were not as bold as those women in the hall.

Those women did not wear belly pockets, nor did they wear profanity pants. They just put on a thin layer of gauze, revealing their private parts with the dancing posture, showing off their coquettishness.

In the hall, there is a middle-aged man with white skin and excellent skin. He has two moustaches and holds a beauty in his left hand and a beauty in his right hand.

The left hand tofu milk, the right hand teases the ratio, the color Mi Mi is appreciating the dancing dancer.

There are several diners sitting on both sides. They are very happy.

Xu Qi'an has a further understanding of this uncle's absurd lust. His sister is almost abandoned. He is still here to indulge in his lust. What's more ridiculous is that the queen is still carrying the pot.

Shiver cold, help younger brother demons when can stand up.

The princess stopped outside the hall and looked at Xu Qian.Understanding Xu Qi'an took off his sabre, went to the door, knocked on the door frame with the scabbard "bang bang bang", and cried: "rounds, men squat on the left, women squat on the right, hold the head, take out the ID card."

The addicted people were surprised, and then they noticed Xu Qian and Princess Huaiqing standing outside.

The dancers stopped dancing, the musicians stopped playing, and the two bearded uncle was stunned, then frowned.

Huaiqing crossed the threshold and entered the hall. He said coldly, "all people should leave the hall. They are not allowed to go near here for a hundred steps. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy."

Xu Qi'an said in a loud voice: "yes!"

The thumb flicked the handle of the knife, half an inch out of the sheath of the sabre, looked around the people in the hall, and said, "don't you get out of here."

The musicians, the dancers and the diners broke up.

"Don't go, don't go..."

uncle Guo shouts, but he can't stop the scattered crowd. He stomps angrily and points to Xu Qi'an to scold him: "where are you from? Come on, come on, come on..."

XU Qi'an frowns and says that no wonder Huaiqing is so disgusted with this uncle. No wonder she suspects uncle Guo for the first time.

This is 24K pure dandy.

After a few shouts, seeing that there was no one outside to support him, my uncle stopped shouting. He squinted and looked at Princess Huaiqing: "Huaiqing, you are not staying in the palace. What are you doing in my uncle's house?"

"My uncle knows what happened after the abolition of my father?"

Huaiqing's voice was like the wind and snow in the middle of winter, with a chill, "my father put forward to abolish the empress this morning, and my uncle, as a mother's younger brother, was still in the mood to drink and have fun in the house."

"Nature knows." But what can I do to get upset all of a sudden? I'm not Wei Yuan. If I say no, your majesty will agree? "

"Does my uncle know the reason for the abolition of my father?" Asked the princess.

"It's not the elder sister's attempt to make the fourth Prince the crown prince, but the one in the east palace." Uncle said aloud, and then he hissed, as if disdaining the queen.

Xu Qi'an carefully looked at Huaiqing, she was calm from beginning to end, or indifference.

when he was about to question Sunnie Huang, he suddenly saw Huai Qing waved his hand, and his royal highness sneered. "Uncle, this palace is the emperor's life to arrest you."

Uncle a Leng, "arrest me? Why

Huaiqing finally showed a sneer, "with the palace maid Huang xiaorou."

Smell speech, uncle such as lightning, the whole body is a shock, his eyes flashed the color of fear, strong support said: "what Huang xiaorou, Huaiqing, what nonsense are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about!"

He yelled at Princess Huaiqing.

"No tears without a coffin." Huaiqing stretched out his hand, and Xu Qi'an handed over the yellow silk with dim color.

She took it and threw it on her uncle's face. "In the spring of the 31st year of Yuanjing, you know best what you did to Huang xiaorou."

Uncle Guo was stunned.

The yellow silk material slipped from his face, as if it had taken away his last blood color. His uncle's pupils were lax and he looked frightened.

"Who told you, who told you about Huang xiaorou." My uncle murmured.

"The queen, of course." Xu Qi'an cooperates with a lie.

"Fart!"

Uncle Guo's reaction was surprisingly big, and the color of blood slowly poured into his face. He couldn't tell whether it was caused by excitement or anger. He said in a loud voice:

"I'm the only son of the upper official family. How can she betray me? How dare she betray me? What face will she have to see her father in the future? Don't cheat me."

Xu Qian said: "because Huang xiaorou is involved in the case of Fu Fei, her past has been found out. The queen has no choice but to confess. Gongrou has defiled you for 31 years. "

He said for sure.

"It's impossible. Huang xiaorou has already died. My sister promised that I would kill her." The uncle was shocked.

The fact is that the queen didn't kill her. She just killed the baby in Huang xiaorou's belly. Huaiqing was right. The queen was too soft hearted. Xu Qi'an looked at Princess Chang.

Huaiqing still has no expression, light way: "tell me the truth, with this palace said, better than in the dungeon of the watchman confessed.". Or does the uncle want to try to beat the taste of punishment in the dungeon

He sat down.

"Yes, Huang xiaorou did have an affair with me, but she was willing. Because she thought I was your majesty.

"I like beauty, but I'm tired of the brothels and the women in the brothel. To me, the concubine Ji in the mansion has long been nothing new. Gradually, I found that the women in the palace fascinated me more than the women outside.

"But I don't even want to touch her. Your majesty has been addicted to practicing Taoism for many years. I want one or two maids. What's the matter?

She is the head of the harem. As long as she agrees, who can stop her? I don't want your Majesty's concubines. The day I saw the empress of the palace, I went to visit her."Oh, she thought I was your majesty. She blushed and did not dare to refuse. She let me do it."

Huang xiaorou entered the palace in the 28th year of Yuanjing. At that time, his Majesty was addicted to practicing Taoism and did not go to the back palace any more. A little maid in waiting had never seen what emperor Yuanjing looked like. Xu Qi'an thought in his heart that the effect of Qi technique had not dissipated. He knew that his uncle had not lied.

"While there was no one around, I took her into the wing room and had a good time. The woman who breaks the precepts and makes her majesty think she is unique. Not to mention her, there are concubines and maids in the harem. No one has ever imagined that he can be different from others and be blessed by his majesty. "

He pretended to be the emperor's maid of honor..... No wonder the empress wanted to protect you, and these ten lives were not enough to kill you....

my uncle swallowed his saliva and said, "later, I ate marrow and knew how to taste. I often had a tryst with Huang xiaorou in the name of visiting the empress. I feel different in her, different from other women. But unexpectedly, she was pregnant......

"at that time, I was flustered and told the queen about it. She scolded me and ordered me not to step into the harem again. And promised me to kill Huang xiaorou and clean up the mess for me. "

"So Huang xiaorou always thought she was pregnant with a dragon seed, so she hated the queen who forced her to abort. When she later learned that she had been cheated, it turned out that the person who seduced her was not the emperor, but your uncle... But at that time, the fetus was gone, and it was a foregone conclusion. She could not provoke the queen, so she committed suicide in shame and anger.

"But the queen is too kind-hearted to feel guilty for what you have done, so she took a panacea from the imperial pharmacy and saved Huang xiaorou's life. But I didn't expect that today, four years later, there will be disaster. "

"It's all her fault. If she had killed Huang xiaorou, how could she be today?" My uncle was furious: "she did me harm. It's all her fault!"

"You lie!" Xu Qi'an suddenly interrupted him and said harshly, "if it's only Huang xiaorou, then the queen doesn't have to plead guilty. Huang xiaorou is dead, and there is no proof of her death. The queen doesn't recognize it.

"Now that she has recognized it, it means that in addition to Huang xiaorou, you still have a handle in other people's hands."
