Chapter 270 Investigation Incident
When Lin Xiaorou woke up, two court ladies were standing beside her and saw her open her eyes, they were so happy that they almost cried with joy.

"Your Majesty, you've finally woken up, and you're really worried about the death of your servant."

Lin Xiaorou pretended to be stupid and confused, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, you were attacked yesterday. Ling'er and Hua'er were both knocked out at the door, and your Majesty, you were kidnapped and found by a garden."

That kid Tuobu is really good at doing things, Lin Xiaorou appreciates it very much.

"How could this happen?" Lin Xiaorou pretended to be very scared, and said angrily, "Who the hell is murdering me, did you tell the emperor?"

"Niang Niang, the emperor has already moved to Qingfeng Palace to take care of his body. Someone has already reported this matter to the emperor, and the emperor only said one word."

"What word!"

"check!"

"Your Majesty, I also heard that there was a fire in the Hall of Supreme Purity yesterday, and the people in Dali Temple wondered if it was the person who attacked Your Majesty."

"Where is Dali Temple?"

This Dali Temple is a place dedicated to investigating various cases that occurred in the palace. Their rights can be great or small, and they can even interrogate the emperor, but they are all very skillful interrogators through the curtain. After all, the emperor is the ultimate those in power.

Before Lin Xiaorou was ready mentally, the people from Dali Temple came.

The person in charge of the investigation was a young man with single eyelids, thin lips, and sharp eyes, as if his heart would jump if he just looked at it.

"Xiaguan Haotian was ordered to investigate the case of the attack on the empress, and asked the empress to know everything to help Xiaguan solve the case as soon as possible."

Lin Xiaorou talked to Haotian through the bamboo curtain,
"I will tell you what I know."

"Okay, sir, thank you for your cooperation."

Lin Xiaorou's heart turned several times, and she lay on the soft couch calmly and looked at Haotian, whose eyebrows were still clear. The bamboo curtain was very thin and not densely woven, so it didn't prevent the two of them from seeing each other's expressions clearly. .

"The lower official would like to ask if the empress woke up when she was kidnapped last night, or did she see or hear anything in the blur?"

"No, I went to bed yesterday and slept until noon before waking up. In my dream, I felt like someone hit the back of my head. I thought it was a dream at the time, but I didn't expect it to be real!"

"Have you encountered any strange things in the past few days?"

Lin Xiaorou frowned and thought for a while, then quietly said: "There are no strange things, but there are things that don't go well?"

"Something that doesn't go well? Can I ask the empress to repeat it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Huan'er had some conflicts with me yesterday. The emperor was poisoned. At that time, she suspected that I poisoned the emperor's lunch. I was so angry that I really wanted to stomp my feet." .”

Lin Xiaorou deliberately said this to show that she was very angry.

When Haotian saw her like this, he just thought it was jealousy among women, and he was also a little embarrassed to hear her call the harem concubine by name: "The lower official knows, the case of the attack on the empress will be thoroughly investigated, then the lower official Don't disturb your mother's rest."

Lin Xiaorou rubbed her temples with a headache, closed her eyes and said, "If you have any clues, you can tell me."

That Haotian didn't leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went to investigate the maid who was on duty for Lin Xiaorou last night, but still found nothing, because the two maids were also confused, and they felt that they were hit on the back of the head and passed out. Woke up with no memory of what happened.

It can be seen that Haotian was a little depressed when he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But in the afternoon, Lin Xiaorou couldn't be happier, because according to the investigation, the guys who found her in the Taiqing Palace yesterday provided important clues, that is, they confirmed that the arsonist was a woman, and they remembered her voice.

When Lin Xiaorou heard the news, her heart skipped a beat, but when she heard that Haotian had gone to find Huan'er, she jumped for joy again, this is what she wanted.

The fire was set on fire yesterday, Concubine Rou was attacked for no reason, a female suspect, Cha Cha Huan'er had a little conflict with her yesterday.

So Lin Xiaorou lay down and rested and let them torment.

He yawned lazily, thinking of passing by the clan's mansion yesterday, and remembered the deathbed entrustment of the innocent maid who died tragically in his mind, so he opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

"Call me Cailan."

Soon Cailan came over, looking very comfortable with lowered eyebrows: "Cailan, do something for me!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me, the servants will definitely do it."

Lin Xiaorou waved to Cai Lan, told her the address of Brother A Niu, then pulled out a few gold hairpins from his head and said, "Give some of my hairpins to A Niu and tell him that this is Lian Er For her, if he asks about Lian Er's whereabouts, he will say that she is married, and these things should be regarded as compensation for the years he has waited for."

"Yes." Cailan went down quickly.

Lin Xiaorou asked her to do this, firstly because she was familiar with Cailan and knew that her character was not bad, secondly because Prince Jing had more trust in Cailan, she was more reassuring than others going out of the city, not to mention that this matter was also It's not impossible to let King Jing know.

Looking at the time, it's time to put on a show and go see King Jing.

Lin Xiaorou drove Qingfeng Palace, a group of palace people knelt at the door to welcome her, and the accompanying maids carefully helped her get off the soft sedan chair.

"How is the emperor today?"

Lin Xiaorou was very curious about how the bastard King Jing suppressed the turmoil that day when she was canonized. The whole palace seemed to be ignorant of what happened that day, and they were very respectful to her.

"Go back to your mother, the emperor is able to eat a small amount today, and he is more energetic."

Lin Xiaorou was a little disappointed that he recovered so quickly, that bastard should lie down for another ten and a half months.

"I'm going to have a look."

Walking into the bedroom of Qingfeng Palace, one can see King Jing sleeping peacefully on the bed at a glance. King Jing's complexion is indeed much better than yesterday. At this time, he closed his eyes and didn't know whether he was asleep or awake.

Walking in, a court lady closed the door tactfully, the room was very quiet, there was no other person except the two of them, probably Huan'er was haunted by people from Dali Temple and couldn't come, and Liuying dragged her body so it was inconvenient to move around .

Lin Xiaorou held her breath and slowly approached the bed curtain, tiptoeing like a thief.

"Are you a thief?"

Suddenly, a voice exploded.

Lin Xiaorou was taken aback for a moment, then angrily looked at the person on the bed who had opened his eyes and said, "If you're not dead, don't pretend to be dead for me, people scare people to death."

King Jing glanced at her contemptuously, and said lightly, "Are you in a hurry to be buried with me?"

It's okay if you don't mention it, but Lin Xiaorou will explode in anger if you mention it.

"I came to see you with good intentions, but you are so wolf-hearted and thinking of ways to kill me! Keep saying you like me, is this the way you like me? This is overbearing and unreasonable!"

The more Lin Xiaorou talked, the angrier she became, she wished she could go straight to grab King Jing's neck and make him kneel down to apologize and obediently deliver that terrible edict to her.

"Did you set the fire yesterday?"

Lin Xiaorou was taken aback for a moment, then said firmly, "No."

"Who else has the guts to burn down my house?"

King Jing's tone was weak, but his words were sharp, and his eyes were as sharp as ever.

Lin Xiaorou didn't speak, but suddenly grinned and said faintly: "Your Majesty, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."

The corner of King Jing's mouth was slightly curved, and he said: "It's better that you think the same way. I'm tired, so let's go. You'd better be quiet these few days."

This sentence is a warning and a reminder.

Lin Xiaorou glanced at him, turned around and left angrily, anyway, he's just a paper tiger who can only lie on the bed now.

When the door was closed and the room returned to calm, King Jing slowly got up, lifted the quilt and walked a few steps down the ground. Except for a few personal doctors, no one knew his real recovery status. Although the poison of arsenic was difficult to cure, after all It's not that it can't be solved, it's just that the body will leave some sequelae that cannot be completely eradicated. Fortunately, his physical foundation is good, so his recovery is not bad, but in order to see how much Lin Xiaorou wants to toss, he decided to pretend to be sick.

Because he had to attack the little woman when she was exhausted from tossing and tossing, after all, the enemy is best captured only when it is weak.

Back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lin Xiaorou felt more and more unwilling. Why should she be trapped here because of an imperial decree? If she hides her name and lives in a remote place with a different face like before, she doesn't believe that she can be found.

Lin Xiaorou was ready to leave as soon as she said it. She hid some valuables in her sleeves and waited for the night to fall. As far as she knew, there was a side door in the palace every night, someone would come to collect all kinds of garbage and then transport it outside the city for disposal. And there are quite a few people here, at least four or five, otherwise the daily household garbage of the entire palace would not be able to be collected.

Lin Xiaorou ate and drank quietly, and at night, she was just about to find an excuse to go out for a stroll, when Haotian from Dali Temple suddenly came and blocked her progress.

"Your Majesty, I have a few questions for you to answer."

Seeing Haotian's slightly menacing eyes, Lin Xiaorou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he really found some clues?
"Ask, but I have to emphasize that I don't remember anything that day." Lin Xiaorou forced herself to calm down.

"Don't worry, ma'am, the few questions I want to ask are very simple."

"It's like this. After two days of investigation by the lower officials, a palace official who saw the female thief in the Taiqing Palace said that he had heard the female thief talking, so he remembered the female thief's voice, and asked the empress to tell her The palace maids who were not on duty that night in the harem gathered together so that the palace man could identify them."

"Why do you want me to command! I am not a queen and have such great power."

"Because the emperor said that if you need to make up your mind about this matter, you can just ask your empress."

Damn it, Lin Xiaorou thinks that bastard King Jing must have done it on purpose.

"How about this, you call me the man from the palace, and I will come and talk to him first to see if there is any merit."

"Yes."

Soon the palace man was brought in. He was a thin little father-in-law with small eyes that opened like a slit. He looked exactly like a groundhog.
