"That's right. Such an almost impossible thing happened, but it did. It happened right under His Majesty's nose. How inconceivable. "Xiahou Qing slowly said," His Majesty ordered all thirty people in the imperial astronomer to be arrested and interrogated overnight. They didn't get any useful information and didn't find any clues. Currently, he could only order for this matter to be sealed. No one is allowed to leak it to the outside world. And you are the only person I told. "
For such a small piece of paper, the Ministry of Justice's most experienced torture experts were sent out, but they didn't find any suspicious points. It was simply ridiculous.
"It seems that after arranging my marriage, that person has extended his hands to Your Highness. It's just that the fate of 'going mad and dying an unnatural death' is a little too cruel. " Ning Shu couldn't help but sigh. She thought for a moment and said, "Then could it be that the piece of paper was swapped on the way from the imperial astronomer to Fu Ning Palace?"
Logically speaking, after the imperial astronomer divined a heavenly secret, it shouldn't be spied on in advance. It should be immediately sealed and presented to the Emperor before being made public. Therefore, it was very possible that it was swapped on the way.
"After the piece of paper was divined, it was sealed in a brocade box and locked. It was escorted into the palace by eight eunuchs. The lock was divided into two halves, with two stewards each holding one half. When it reached Fu Ning Palace, the two of them opened it at the same time. Then, under everyone's eyes, it was placed on a tray and presented to His Majesty and Consort Ning. Being a ghost under the eyes of so many people is much harder than being an imperial astronomer. The only possibility is that these eight people conspired together. But do you know who these eight eunuchs are? " Xiahou Qing's finger lightly tapped on the brocade box, a mocking smile on his face, "Consort Qi's trusted aides."
Ning Shu understood after thinking about it. She had long known that Qi Zhanyu had admired Xiahou Qing for a long time, and as a blood relative, Consort Qi, in order to fulfill her most beloved niece, and in order to use this marriage to draw the South Pacifying Manor to her side, increasing the bargaining chip for her son Xiao Yunsu to seize the throne, she would never allow this matter to go wrong.
Therefore, even if the piece of paper was swapped, the original person could only be Qi Juanyu's piece of paper. And definitely not this one! However, such a mysterious and mysterious thing had happened. It was so unpredictable and treacherous.
After thinking it through, Ning Shu was inwardly speechless, "This matter has escaped the attention of so many pairs of eyes and seven orifices people. It seems like it was done flawlessly. They must have put in a lot of effort. However, I still have some doubts about this matter. Is Your Highness the target of this matter, or … "She stretched out her slender fingers and slowly wrote a word on the small table in front of her," Qi? "
"Although this matter revolves around Your Highness's marriage, Imperial Concubine Qi is also inexplicably involved. Her purpose is clear as day: She wants to betroth her niece, Qi Jueyu, to Your Highness. So I'm thinking, could there be another possibility: Someone was dissatisfied with Imperial Concubine Qi's domineering behavior and didn't want this matter to be as simple as she wanted it to be, so she set up a trap to make things go contrary to her wishes? "
Xiahou Qing laughed. He had always been an indifferent person. Even if he laughed, it was mostly a mocking smile, a smile that wasn't a smile. It was enough to slightly raise the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he unexpectedly revealed such a clear smile. It was like the spring breeze blowing on a pool of spring water, causing people's minds to involuntarily sway.
"Yes, I also want to know which one it is." He said.
Since the rain quietly stopped, the curtain of clouds gradually dispersed, and the treasured mirror became clear. The first ray of light poured out from the curtain of clouds, sprinkling down from the horizon, and penetrating through the window, scattering diagonally on the side of his face.
Half of it was light, half of it was dark.
And that line of light and darkness fell on his smiling lips at this moment.
After a short pause, Ning Shu moved her gaze away from that line of light and darkness, and continued, "So, Your Highness' idea is to immediately choose a concubine?"
