READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 68 Gu Li’s plan
"Your Majesty, I am Gu Li, the mirror master of the Jingzhe Mirror Department of the Demon Suppression Department, and this is Lin Yiping, the master of the Qingming Mirror. The two of us have no ill intentions in coming here, and we do not dare to harm your majesty."
"I came here today to investigate the cause of death of the late Emperor Yaochi. Therefore, I have a few questions to ask Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please don't yell, okay? If you understand, please nod and I will let go immediately."
Qianrou nodded quickly in fear.
Seeing Empress Qianrou so panicked, Gu Li couldn't bear it, but now that the matter was over, he had no choice but to shoot.
He slowly released his hand covering Qianrou.
"This is an extraordinary time. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Qianrou asked timidly: "Since you want to see me, why don't you just do it openly? Why come here secretly in the middle of the night? I'm almost scared to death."
"The Prime Minister has placed people everywhere in Tianhuang Palace, and we really can't come in."
"Oh, the Prime Minister said that it was for my safety. He was afraid that some of Wei Qi's accomplices were planning to take action against me."
At the same time, Shen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly woke up.
Traces of the intruders were found in the restrictions placed in Tianhuang Palace.
Someone is looking for Qianrou!
At that moment, he quickly put on his ministerial robe and led people straight into the imperial city.
"Shen Jian, Shen Dao, someone breaks into the Empress's palace without permission, follow me to get him!"
In Tianhuang Palace, Gu Li stopped talking nonsense and quickly asked about the situation at that time.
"Your Majesty Qianrou, do you remember the details of the late emperor's death?"
Qianrou shook her head.
"I was brought to Jiahe Palace by Shen Jian. When I was brought, I no longer knew where my sister had gone. Wei Qi was also subdued by the Prime Minister."
"Then the Prime Minister made me the new emperor."
Gu Li asked: "Do you think the Prime Minister is a little strange?"
Qianrou thought for a long time and said slowly: "That's not true. The Prime Minister is very good to me. He often plays with me and tells me stories."
It seems that Princess Qianrou can't ask any questions here.
"Gu Li." Lin Yiping quickly patted him on the shoulder, "Someone is coming, let's evacuate quickly!"
"Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will not reveal the reason why the two of us are here tonight. Thank you very much!"
Gu Li also sensed someone approaching at this moment, so he immediately flew up into the sky, restored the roof to its original shape, and hurried away.
At this moment, Shen Yuan led everyone in and pushed the door open.
"The humble minister arrived too late to save me, and his crime deserves death!"
"Rescue?" Qianrou looked slightly flustered, "No... no one has been here."
Shen Yuan stepped forward, raised his head and looked around. No special clues were found.
Is it a step too late...
"Your Majesty, did anyone come here just now?"
"This..." Qianrou hesitated. She was hesitating whether to tell Shen Yuan about Gu Li and Lin Yiping.
Qianrou was not familiar with Gu Li and Lin Yiping, but she vaguely heard her sister mention them, and her sister seemed to admire them very much.
If not, Qianrou wouldn't have dropped her guard after hearing Gu Li announce his family status.
And Gu Li asked her not to reveal what happened tonight. Should she agree to Gu Li?
With the Thousand Fantasy Spirit Eyes open, Shen Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and planned to directly pry into Qianrou's soul.
The soul cannot lie.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't want to say anything, I naturally don't dare to ask any more questions. However, Your Majesty is frightened. I will give this candy to Your Majesty."
Handing a pill to Qianrou, Qianrou swallowed it without thinking.
"What kind of candy is this? Not at all..."
In an instant, Qianrou fell into a deep sleep.
When the Thousand Illusion Spiritual Eyes probe the soul, it will bring great pain to people. This kind of pain is difficult for ordinary monks to bear. And forget about Qianrou, a five-year-old child.
That's why Shen Yuan used pills to put Qianrou into a deep sleep.
Of course, this is not because Shen Yuan is showing mercy, but because he is afraid that Qianrou will be hurt to death.
There has been a precedent of this kind before. When peering into the soul, the other party ended up being deeply tortured by the pain until death.
It's actually not a big deal to die, but many times, the living are more valuable than the dead.
Just like Qianrou.
Therefore, Shen Yuan could only give her a calming pill, making her fall into a long sleep without feeling any pain.
Qian Huan Lingpu glanced past, and Shen Yuan immediately learned the information about the visitor.
Gu Li and Lin Yiping from the Demon Suppression Department.
It turned out to be these two guys...
In fact, Shen Yuan also received a letter from Pei Duan, but with his identity, Pei Duan was naturally not qualified to recognize Gu Li and Lin Yiping.
Therefore, Pei Duan's biography only mentioned that Pei Jianghai met two people. As for who these two people were, Pei Duan had no way of knowing.
But now, Shen Yuan can confirm the identities of these two people.
"Let's go."
After spying on the soul, he placed Qianrou on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Shen Yuan and others left Tianhuang Palace.
Outside Tianhuang Palace, a group of eunuchs and maids who kept vigil for Qianrou are still kneeling here, motionless.
They were all horrified. Under their noses, someone actually sneaked into the empress's palace!
If this comes to light, who can afford it?
"Get up. Keep a good watch."
Shen Yuan glanced at them and left on crutches.
It would be strange if these guys could sense experts of the level of Gu Li and Lin Yiping, so Shen Yuan would naturally not vent his anger on them.
Anyway, I have all the information I need.
"Thank you, Prime Minister! Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
Everyone was shocked as if they had been granted amnesty.
As for Gu Li and Lin Yiping, they naturally left the imperial city early through their superb cultivation.
"Gu Li, what should we do now? Your Majesty Qianrou doesn't know what happened that day."
"Shen Yuan is really having problems the more he looks at it!"
"Then what should we do now? We haven't been able to find out anything from His Majesty Qianrou."
"Who said he didn't ask anything? Didn't His Majesty Qianrou say that it was Shen Jian who took her to see Shen Yuan? He must know something." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gu Li's eyes, "I want to take these two He was arrested and tortured with the same torture methods used to torture monsters, but he didn’t believe that he couldn’t pry something out of his mouth!”
Lin Yiping also nodded slightly.
Shen Jian and Shen Dao will naturally not be noticed by these two half-step supreme masters.
"Let's choose the morning meeting tomorrow. Shen Yuan and his staff will still attend the morning meeting. While Shen Yuan is not here, you and I can quickly seize Shen Jian and Shen Dao."
"But the court meeting will end soon. Isn't it too late? If there is a slight mistake..."
Lin Yiping's worries are justified. After all, it is the territory of the Shen family. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
"Let Liu Qian restrain him in court for a while longer!" Gu Li seemed to have thought of something, "Although Wei Qi is dead, aren't there still Liu Qian and Shen Yuan who are difficult to deal with now?"
"If he learns that the two of us want to investigate Shen Yuan, there is no reason for Liu Gan not to help us."
"That makes sense. Let's go find Liu Qian quickly and explain the interests and consequences."
The two of them made up their minds, and their figures disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
