As he said that, a few people walked into the palace quickly. It had snowed before, but please scan the palace roads, so it was still very easy to walk.

In less than two quarters of an hour, several people had already arrived in front of the East Warehouse. A small eunuch saw it from afar and hurried in to report.

When they arrived at the door, the cotton curtain had been opened. The little eunuch smiled and reached out and said:

"Please, please, your Majesty is waiting inside."

Zhu Yunmo glanced at Zhou Heng, and then he realized that Zhou Heng was also wearing Huichuntang clothes and was not wearing official uniforms. This discovery made him stunned and asked in a low voice:

"Hey, why haven't you changed your official uniform?"

Zhou Heng lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunmo innocently with blinking eyes.

"I forgot in a hurry. This is not an official who has only been a day. Don't worry about these things and go in quickly."

Zhu Yunmo knew that nothing was useful to say now, so he stepped into the East Warehouse.

The emperor sat in front of the imperial desk and seemed to be watching the memorial, while Fang Jizhong stood aside and served. Several people quickly walked up to the front and bowed down to see him.

The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at him without screaming.

"I heard from Fang's partner that his man went to ask the apprentice of the Zhou Yuan to be sentenced to the Zhou Yuan and was blocked by the Zhou Yuan. I wonder if this is the case?"

Zhou Heng quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, this is true. The incident happened suddenly. Those people were just wearing strong clothes. I had never seen anyone dressed like this. I didn't know whether it was true or false for a moment. So I asked the prince to bring us into the palace at this moment. If we need to answer the question, we all happened to be here."

The emperor then raised his head, threw away the memorial in his hand, and looked at Zhou Heng who was kneeling below.

"What you mean is that if you check your apprentice, I will issue an order in person, right?"

Zhou Heng knew that this was when the factory guards went back and learned the original words, but they could say this when they blocked the factory guards, but if you really said this in front of the emperor, you would be seeking death.

He quickly bowed, his face full of shock.

"Your Majesty, I was unable to distinguish the authenticity at that time. This was just a silence at that time. If I really thought so, wouldn't it be a crime of great rebellion?

It was the first time that Chen and Chen's apprentice Xiu'er attended the palace banquet, so she went to the Empress Dowager's Palace and Baohe Hall. These were places with dense crowds. I was surprised to find someone to ask questions like this, so my first reaction was that this was a scam and that I could not confirm the identities of those people, so I said this."

The emperor snorted and looked at Zhu Yunmo.

"What are you doing with me? I'm afraid I'll eat Zhou Heng or Miss Liu?"

Zhu Yunmo looked aggrieved, "My nephew just wanted to know what happened. He thought what was wrong with the uncle. He was very worried and rushed to the scene after hearing the news."

The emperor's face looked a little better and waved his sleeves at the few people.

"Get up and talk back."

Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them stood up and stood down with their heads slightly lowered.

The emperor said to Fang Jizhong beside him:

"Didn't Fan Fang ask? There is no need to change places. Just ask here, I'll listen."

Fang Jizhong quickly bowed and said yes, turning around and looking at Liu Xiuer below.

"Miss Liu, our family wants to ask you, when I went to Concubine Shu's palace to return to Baohe Palace yesterday, did you stop on the road?"

Liu Xiu'er paused and leaned over and said:

"When I came out of the Imperial Concubine's bedroom and passed through the Imperial Garden, there seemed to be many people making noises, which led to the palace maids of the ministers and daughters saying that they would let the ministers and daughters follow them to see, but the ministers felt that this was the harem that they could not walk around at will, so they refused. She said that I asked me to wait for her. I stood by the roadside for a while. Soon after, she came back, and then she sent me back to Baohe Palace."

Fang Jizhong nodded, clapped his hands and walked over with his hands. One put down a square ink plate that was one foot square, and the other was a roll of white paper, with an arm around a meter long. Fang Jizhong said with a smile:

"Ms. Liu can you please stand on the ink cloth and then walk along the white paper a few steps forward?"

Liu Xiu'er didn't understand why, but she picked up her skirt and stood in the ink plate to dye the soles of her feet with ink. A palace maid walked over and helped Liu Xiu'er walk over on the white paper.

Zhou Heng looked at the things on the ground and narrowed his eyes. Why did he rub his shoes? Is this about comparing footprints?

Could it be that something theft happened in the palace, leaving only footprints and unable to tell who it was, so the women who entered the harem that day were compared?

At the end, the ink traces on Xiu'er's shoes were gone, so she quickly returned to Zhou Heng and stood behind him.

Eunuch Fang waved to the door, and a man with white hair and white eyebrows walked forward to pay homage to the emperor and Eunuch Fang.

Eunuch Fang ordered: "Compare it quickly."

The person said that he opened a scroll and there was a similar footprint inside. However, Zhou Heng knew at a glance that it was drawn, not a mark of trampling. From the size of the shoe to the gait, the white-browed man quickly knelt down and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty, these footprints are exactly the same."

As expected, as soon as this said, the emperor immediately looked at Liu Xiu'er with different eyes.

He raised his hand and waved the teacup on the Yushu desk to the ground. The tea water spilled all over the ground, and the pieces of porcelain splashed. Zhu Yunmo and the other two quickly knelt down.

"I haven't come to the real trick yet. You tell me what you did after the palace maid left?"

Liu Xiu'er was frightened, crawling on the ground, and said tremblingly:

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants to know. My Majesty waited for the palace maid on the road for about a quarter of an hour, and then we returned when she came."

Before Liu Xiu'er could finish speaking, the emperor waved his sleeves.

"Parent Fang, ask the palace maid to come."

Fang Jizhong quickly called a little eunuch to summon him, and the emperor looked at the three people kneeling on the ground.

Zhu Yunmo was a little anxious and kowtowed and asked:

"Please tell me what happened, I'm confused now."

"Fang accompanied you to speak!"

The emperor's face turned pale and he had no past calmness. It was obvious that something happened that made him extremely angry.

Zhou Heng looked at the two pieces of paper on the ground. The gait and footprints on it were indeed very similar, but what could this mean?

It can only mean that the man is a woman, the same size as Xiu'er's shoes.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the footprints carefully. Xiu'er's footprint pointed slightly inward, while the footprints drawn were some inward and some were facing outward. When normal people walked, they would not deliberately change their gaits. Such discovery made him a little confused.

Is this man still dancing while walking?

Or deliberately disturb others?

If it is the latter, this will be troublesome.

At the same time, Fang Jizhong walked up to the three of them and began to tell them.

"The Imperial Garden is divided into two parts: east and west. During the palace banquet, someone fell into the ice lake in the Dongyuan Garden, so many people gathered to watch. Several eunuchs who could do the water in the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked for help and rescued people.

On the other side, the Western Garden of Imperial Garden is a rockery. There were several pavilions during this period. In the afternoon, the eunuchs who were responsible for cleaning up the snow were found in the rockery behind Canglan Pavilion. "

Zhou Heng was stunned and quickly raised his head. Zhu Yunmo and Liu Xiu'er also raised their faces in shock and looked at him. Who is Sun Zhaoyi?

Who knows that if you die, it will depend on Liu Xiuer?

Fang Jizhong continued:

"Sun Zhaoyi's body was lying face down on the ground. When he found out, he was already exhausted and died. His body had not been stiff. Liu Yuanjue believed that he died of poisoning. This poison was poisonous. There was no poison in the harem. Only these footprints were left behind Sun Zhaoyi.

The eunuch who was cleaning said that Wu Shixue lived here and had patrolled here, but no abnormalities were found. After that, he was busy cleaning the snow on the road. He just came here to clean the Canglan Pavilion until the afternoon, and Sun Zhaoyi's body was found."

Zhu Yunmo widened his eyes and looked at the emperor.

"Uncle the emperor concludes that Liu Xiu'er is the murderer with such a series of footprints?"

The emperor's face was gloomy. It was obvious that Sun Zhaoyi had a different position in the emperor's heart. He slapped the imperial desk with force.

"Bold, how do you talk to me?"

Zhu Yunmo became depressed in an instant, and knelt honestly. The emperor raised his eyes and said:

"Of course it's more than that. It led Miss Liu back to the palace maids of Baohe Palace. Her confession was very different from what Miss Liu said."

After saying this, the eunuch who went to pass the message quickly stepped in and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Su'e, the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace, brought it."
