MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 14 no case

Li Zichou felt that it was necessary for him to investigate the case of Prime Minister Bai. After all, Yang Dejin had to rely on this unsolved case if he wanted to tie down Xie Zhi, and beside him was Bai Qingyang, an indeterminate time bomb, who knew something about the heroine. no harm.

Zhou Huaijin acted very quickly, he went out of the palace to look for talents, but took a few people back to the palace within half a month.

"Back, so soon?" Li Zichou put down the file in his hand.

"Going back to His Majesty, it could have been faster. There was a small incident on the road and I was followed." Zhou Huaijin was so busy that he didn't have time to go back to Wenqu Hall, so he came directly to see Li Zichou.

"Do you know who it is?" Li Zichou frowned slightly.

"Don't know, but it took Chen a while to shake them off."

"Well done, you've worked hard, go back and have a rest."

"Follow the order."

At the same time, Yuheng Palace.

"Lost it?" Bai Qingyang asked.

"My empress, forgive me. Zhou Huaijin was really too cunning that day. He drove away in the middle of the night and left us behind." The guard kneeling on one knee in the hall replied with his head bowed.

Bai Qingyang was not too surprised, she waved her hand to make the guard retreat, leaving only herself in the hall to think alone.

It seems that Zhou Huaijin is still a bit capable, the empress released him from the prison and gave him the right to enter and leave the palace freely, it can be seen that Li Chou wanted to train his own manpower.

Bai Qingyang also heard that a few days ago Li Chou dismissed the capitals of the other courtyards next to the Leng Palace, this really doesn't look like her...

Suddenly lost interest in male sex, began to employ people purposefully, and was no longer at the mercy of others in the court, and his words became sharper.

On the other hand, although she intentionally wanted to pretend to have the same personality as the former Li Chou, how could Bai Qingyang fail to see that under certain circumstances, her self-cultivation and character were very different from the Li Chou Bai Qingyang knew? do not.

She treats servants with courtesy, she has discerning eyes, and treats herself, always feeling a little indescribably flattering.

What's more important is the change in taste, it's almost like a different person...

Pretend?

If she could pretend to this extent, then Bai Qingyang had to admit that she was clever.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingyang couldn't help but frowned.

Xie Zhi also seemed to have mentioned Prince Yu's abnormality, did anything happen between the two of them?

"Eh…"

Or go find out for yourself.

//

Li Zichou transferred all the dossiers related to Prime Minister Bai's case from Dali Temple, and started to read them in the study after dinner.

Li Zichou learned that Prime Minister Bai's name was Bai Xun, and he had a high prestige among the people, and the late emperor also valued him very much.

But for some reason, Prime Minister Bai was finally charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the prime minister's mansion was wiped out.

Even Li Zichou found it weird to an outsider.

First of all, since it is "Miemen", why are Bai Qingyang and Mrs. Bai still alive?

If the person was really killed by the order of the first emperor, why did he go to great lengths to investigate the so-called murderer afterwards?

Where is the evidence of Bai Xun collaborating with the enemy and treason?

Where are the records of the crime scene?

…

Li Zichou felt a headache, and she understood why Xie Zhi hadn't found out the truth about Prime Minister Bai's murder for so many years.

Unlike modern times, in ancient times there were no tools capable of recording images and audio-visuals, nor were there such advanced criminal investigation techniques. Law enforcement personnel could only conduct investigations inefficiently.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here." A servant in plain palace uniform came in to announce, interrupting Li Zichou's thoughts.

Bai Qingyang actually came here?

Li Zichou was a little surprised, not knowing what her purpose of coming here was.

"Please come in."

"yes."

Bai Qingyang walked into the study room slowly. Today she was wearing a pair of bright red double-breasted long skirts, but she did have a bit of the luxurious temperament of a queen.

Li Zichou put down the file and stood up: "Queen, you... are you here to see me for something?"

Seeing her stand up nervously, Bai Qingyang asked him to sit down on the beauty couch beside him: "Did I bother you? This concubine just came to see His Majesty."

Li Zishou: ...I have to believe to be a ghost.

"It's okay, don't bother..."

"Your Majesty seems to be studying very hard recently." Bai Qingyang glanced at the pile of books and papers on the flat-topped desk.

"Oh, that's not it, that's just some files from Dali Temple."

"Dossier?" Bai Qingyang was puzzled, how did Li Chou start to be interested in criminal and prison proceedings.

Li Zichou felt that Bai Qingyang was also a party involved, so he told her directly: "To be honest, I was very concerned about the matter of Prime Minister Bai back then."

Bai Qingyang was stunned when she heard the words, her throat was a little choked, she said after a while: "Your Majesty should know that Prime Minister Bai is the father of the concubine."

Li Zichou: "Huh? Of course I know."

Bai Qingyang: "Then why..."

"Ah..." Li Zichou thought that this was a good opportunity to improve Bai Qingyang's favorability, so he continued, "I feel ashamed of the queen, and I always want to do something to make it up."

After finishing speaking, Li Zishou seemed very embarrassed, scratched the back of his ear, and continued: "But I'm too dull, I really don't see any tricks in these files."

Bai Qingyang didn't speak, and quietly watched the woman in the dark clothes in front of him.

"But I think that where there is a will, there is a way." Li Zichou said, "Prince Bai is loyal, and I want to return his innocence and give you justice."

Bai Qingyang lowered his eyes: "That's right, the concubine thanked Your Majesty."

Despite what she said, she didn't have much hope in her heart.

Not to mention that she didn't believe in Li Zishou, even in her previous life, Xie Zhi pursued him for decades, but still made little progress.

Her Aye's case is a case without a clue, there is no way to investigate, no way to start, she sees no hope of overturning the case.

Li Zishou could see her concerns and didn't point them out. He just sat down and continued to look through the case files.

"Can the empress tell me what happened that year?" Li Zichou began to find a topic, "If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. I won't force you."

Bai Qingyang was silent for a while, and just when Li Zichou thought that the two of them would keep silent like this forever, she spoke: "That day, Auntie and I were in Qinzhou's hometown, and we were going back to Qinzhou to sweep graves."

"Father was going to receive envoys from Shuobei, so he stayed in Linjing.

"I don't know what happened in the capital, but that day, as soon as the news of my father's treason came, people from the Qinzhou government came and arrested Auntie and me, saying that they would take us back to Linjing for punishment in the future."

From then on, she always dreamed of the prime minister's mansion being burned down.

It's so strange, even though he had never seen it with his own eyes, Bai Qingyang felt that it was the real situation.

Li Zichou's eyes were still on the paper, she asked suspiciously: "But you were not escorted back to Linjing to be punished?"

Otherwise, who is in front of her now.

Bai Qingyang: "Yes, my mother and I were not escorted back to Linjing, but we couldn't leave Qinzhou City either."

Li Zifu ordered someone to serve a pot of tea, and poured a cup himself and brought it to Bai Qingyang. Bai Qingyang raised her eyebrows a little flattered, but didn't say anything else, she continued:

"They released us from the Qinzhou dungeon, and we were able to move freely in Qinzhou city, but we were never allowed to leave Qinzhou city. No one could tell me the reason. Until..."

"Until?" Li Zichou repeated flatteringly.

"Until four years later, His Majesty issued an imperial decree to bring the courtiers and concubines into the harem." Bai Qingyang had a faint smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Ahem...cough!" Li Zichou smiled awkwardly, biting his tongue, "Haha...this tea is so hot..."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to force it. After all, the concubine is now a criminal, and it's not worth the trouble of being a criminal minister." Bai Qingyang didn't seem to want to say more, and got up to leave, "I won't bother Your Majesty anymore, my concubine will leave."

Seeing that Bai Qingyang turned around and was about to leave, Li Zichou hurriedly said to her: "The matter of Prime Minister Bai has not yet been settled, you are not some criminal queen.

"I will keep checking."

Bai Qingyang's back froze slightly, and after a while, he opened his mouth and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Qingyang walked out of the hall, and the palace servants waiting outside saluted her. Bai Qingyang walked out of Tianshu Palace. In front of him were two maids lighting up palace lanterns. She turned her head and glanced at the palace where Li Zichou was.

The court ladies and eunuchs around Li Chou have all changed, and at least two of them know martial arts.

She is still investigating her father's case and says she wants to make amends.

When did she start to change?

Even though he knew that this Li Fu had broken away from his original cognition, Bai Qingyang still couldn't easily trust her. With this brand new Li Fu, Bai Qingyang was not sure that he would be able to control the overall situation.

At the same time, she is also afraid, in the deep palace, she can't make a wrong move, she has already lost enough.

It's just...that thank you, Your Majesty, really came from her heart, and it was rare for her to pin her hopes on Li Chou.

Someone was walking towards him, but before Bai Qingyang could see who it was, he heard the phrase "I've seen the Empress."

It's Prince Yu.

Xie Zhi said that he was also very wrong.

"His Royal Highness, are you entering the palace so late?" Bai Qingyang looked at her, Yang Dejin was followed by only one servant, and that servant was still holding a box in his hand.

Yang Dejin didn't expect to meet Bai Qingyang on the palace road so late, so he didn't know what reason he could use to prevaricate, so he simply threw the pot at Li Zifu: "Exactly, the emperor Xuanben Wang entered the palace."

Bai Qingyang looked at her for a while, and what Xie Zhi said to him was in his mind.

She didn't keep him for too long, but said with a smile: "Then, His Royal Highness Prince Yu should go to Tianshu Palace quickly, and don't make His Majesty wait too long."

"What the Empress said is true, then Xiao Wang will go first." After Yang Dejin finished speaking, she brushed past Bai Qingyang.

Bai Qingyang watched her walk away, thought of something, and returned to Yuheng Palace.

//

Li Zichou greeted the court ladies and eunuchs whom Zhou Huaijin had brought, and said that there was no need to notify Prince Yu when he came.

So when Li Zichou saw her coming, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Just after he finished speaking, Li Zichou realized that Bai Qingyang had just left, and asked again: "You two won't bump into each other, will you?"

Yang Dejin nodded expressionlessly.

Li Zichou: ...This is an illusion that has been staged with great difficulty, how can it be so easy to reveal the truth.

Li Zichou: "Why did you enter the palace directly? Where's the secret door?"

Yang Dejin opened her innocent eyes and said, "It's too dark over there, I'm afraid."

Li Zishou: ...

The author has something to say:

Li Zichou: Consider setting up a task force.
