RNP Chapter 370
Chapter 370
These words rang in Wu Zhao's heart like a sonic boom, causing her face to suddenly turn extremely cold, and at the same time, a terrifying murderous intent swept through her body!
Shangguan Wan'er was also shocked, and she said to Gao Yang with a serious face, "Mr. Gao, this is related to the death of the previous emperor, so you can't say this casually."
Wu Zhao also said to Gao Yang, "Who is it?"
Wu Zhao's body was filled with a terrifying murderous intent.
But Gao Yang shook his head and looked directly at Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to say this yet. I beg Your Majesty to give me a few more days."
"I have already started investigating, and it will only take a few days to get to the bottom of it, but Your Majesty, please take more precautions."
Li Long estimated that he was asking around, and he was not asking secretly. After all, Gao Changwen was set up, and this matter was too small to be investigated secretly at all.
In this way, if what Lin said was true and what Chen Qiang said was true, then the Queen Mother would definitely be alarmed!
Li Long personally inquired about it, and it involved Gao Changwen, the person behind it, so it was easy to guess him.
Gao Yang didn't know whether Lin was exposed or whether the Queen Mother knew that this person had a relationship with Chen Qiang.
But he started to investigate Chen Qiang for no reason. If the death of the previous emperor was really unusual, Queen Mother Xiao would definitely summon him, or even... assassinate him!
But it is conceivable how difficult it would be to assassinate him in Chang'an.
He Gao Yang still has some reputation. If he fails, he will surely face his crazy revenge, or even the counterattack of the entire Dingguo Mansion, so summoning is the best choice!
But as long as he summons, it will be confirmed from the side that this is true!
However, Queen Mother Xiao's identity is too shocking. Before there is actual evidence, Gao Yang can't speak out, but once these words come out, Wu Zetian is not a fool and will definitely guess it.
This means that the two sides have a deal.
If the story is true, Li Long was dragged into the water, and he had no choice. After all, this guy was too bold, and Gao Yang also made a great contribution. If the story is false, and Empress Xiao did not move, then Chen Qiang lied, and Lin lied!
In addition, there is no other possibility.
When a knife is placed on the neck, as time goes by, Empress Xiao cannot remain indifferent, this is certain.
So the first thing Gao Yang has to do is to make Wu Zhao more vigilant, be careful of the dog jumping over the wall, and directly coup.
Wu Zhao's face was livid, and her eyes were fixed on Gao Yang. After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "The death of my father is extremely important to me. I will leave this matter to Gao Qing to investigate."
"I give Gao Qing a token. From today on, you can enter the harem at will without a body search!"
Gao Yang's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this.
It is reasonable to enter the harem to investigate at will, so it is reasonable to accidentally break into the women's bathhouse, right?
Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang and added, "Except for the female bathhouse in the palace and the Longhua Pavilion where I bathe."
Gao Yang: "..."
"Oh!"
Gao Yang left disappointedly soon.
After he left, Wu Zhao's face returned to its extreme coldness, and she was full of murderous intent.
Shangguan Wan'er said, "Your Majesty, why don't you continue to ask?"
Wu Zhao glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and said coldly, "Gao Yang is a smart man. He seems to have said nothing, but he has said everything."
"In the entire court, with Gao Yang's status and relationship with me, who else can make him afraid?"
Shangguan Wan'er heard this and her eyes became solemn.
"In the court, only the heads of hundreds of officials and the second-rank officials are involved. In the harem, only the empress dowager and the concubines are involved. Father is weak. If there is a problem with his death, it must be poisoned. This matter must be related to the harem, or even connected to each other!"
Wu Zhao's eyes were cold, and endless murderous intent burst out of her eyes!
"..."
At the same time.
In the evening.
Li Long also found his confidant, and he slowly spoke to him.
"Investigate!"
"Investigate the palace guards and find a man named Chen Qiang. If he leaves the palace, find his whereabouts!"
"In a word, I want to see him alive or dead!"
The confidant of his subordinates said carefully, "Who is this person? He actually alarmed the commander!"
Li Long shook his hand, "He is just a small guard. Although you have to be careful when doing things in the palace, you don't have to be so careful. This person set a trap to trap one of my brothers. His identity is ordinary, just investigate!"
"I'll sleep for a while."
The confidant of his subordinates bowed and said, "Yes!"
"I'll go check it now!"
Li Long didn't think much about it, and fell directly on the dry bed and fell asleep sweetly.
Late at night.
"My lord, something is wrong!"
Li Long was sleeping when he heard this voice. He raised his sleepy eyes and looked at the person who came. It was his confidant.
He frowned subconsciously and asked, "What's wrong?”
“There is something wrong with Chen Qiang!”
This sentence instantly made Li Long sober up.
“What’s wrong?”
“What can be wrong with Chen Qiang, a mere palace guard?”
The confidant said solemnly, “Commander, I will follow your instructions and search immediately!”
“The palace guards all have a list of names, positions, and ancestral homes, but the strange thing is that the booklet where Chen Qiang is located has disappeared strangely!”
“Only that one book! This is a big doubt, but I didn’t care at the time, but continued to investigate, and ordered my brothers to find out carefully!”
“But this investigation found an amazing thing!”
Li Long’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition swept over him.
“What? "
"There is indeed a guard named Chen Qiang in the palace. His ancestral home is Qingzhou. He disappeared about five or six months ago. After that, the eleven people who were on duty with him were all transferred out of the palace and also disappeared!"
"Sir, is this Chen Qiang really okay?"
After saying this, Li Long's face was solemn, and a chill suddenly rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head.
It's normal for one person to be missing, but then all the eleven people on duty were transferred out and also disappeared. This is outrageous!
"It's bad. This official seems to have been dragged into a mess!"
"Brother Wenhe even betrayed his brothers? "
Li Long was not calm at all. He stood up and rushed to the Dingguo Mansion overnight.
The Queen Mother's bedroom.
Queen Mother Xiao was taking a nap. She was wearing a pure black silk nightgown that covered her perfect figure. Her two slender legs were crossed and exposed.
The maid was carefully massaging her temples. Queen Mother Xiao's eyes were closed and her slender fingers slowly tapped the bed beside her.
Suddenly, a maid hurriedly opened the door and walked forward quickly.
"Queen Mother!"
Queen Mother Xiao opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her.
She waved her hand and said, "All go down!"
After all the maids went down, Queen Mother Xiao sat up straight and said with an unhappy face, "Why are you so flustered?"
The maid said, "Queen Mother, something bad is going to happen. The commander of the imperial guards, Li Long, is investigating Chen Qiang's news in the whole palace!"
"Now I'm leaving the palace and going to the Dingguo Mansion! "
As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed.
"Oh no, my secret will not be discovered by that living devil, right?"
