Yunxiao Palace.

Leng Yue, the governor of the Five Elements Division, and Luo Ping, the commander of the Duying Guards, knelt in the hall together, lowering their heads, never daring to look directly at the angry empress.

The two of them have truthfully reported all the information they know to the empress.

After the empress heard this, she became furious again.

"Your Majesty, since it is confirmed that Marquis Li'an was in the Jiuyou Realm yesterday, he must have done what happened last night!"

"He is Li Wuji!"

"Please give me your majesty's permission. I will take the Five Elements Division to Jiuyou Realm and arrest him personally!"

After a long silence, Leng Yue finally couldn't hold back anymore, bowed her hands and issued a military order.

Luo Ping on the side couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and mustered up the courage to look up at the empress.

Recently, he and Li Anhou have been getting closer and closer. If it is confirmed that Li Anhou is Li Wuji, then he will be the first to be unlucky!

However, after listening to Leng Yue's words, the empress just glanced at Leng Yue coldly, without rejecting or agreeing.

"Where are those baby boys now?"

After the empress thought for a long time, she finally calmed down the anger in her heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter has caused quite an uproar. Early in the morning, a large number of onlookers gathered outside the Imperial Guard Office. Weichen has taken in all the thirty male infants and is looking for their biological fathers and mothers."

"If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause a bigger disturbance. The best way is to settle the matter and make peace with it."

Luo Ping bowed his hands and replied seriously.

After what happened last night and the rumors that caused a storm in the city this morning, the matter of the empress sucking the blood of baby boys is no longer just a rumor.

Luo Ping and Leng Yue had only heard rumors before, but they didn't expect this to be true.

After hearing Luo Ping's answer, the empress couldn't help clenching her fists. Although she was unwilling to do so, there was nothing she could do about it.

It has to be said that placing thirty blood babies directly at the gate of the Imperial Guard Office and spreading a series of news wantonly did catch the empress off guard.

"Okay, then we have Mr. Luo Luo. In addition, we must find a way to quell the rumors in the capital and not make the matter worse!"

The empress paused and said slowly.

"yes!"

Luo Ping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly answered with his hands raised.

"Leng Yue, you are responsible for finding out Li Wuji's whereabouts as soon as possible to see if he is still in the capital. If you find any trace of him, you must kill him without mercy!"

Then, the empress looked at Leng Yue again and ordered in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Marquis of Li'an is..."

"That's enough! Just do whatever I ask you to do, don't say anything more!"

Leng Yue still wanted to insist that Marquis Li An was Li Wuji, but as soon as she was halfway through her words, she was interrupted sharply by the empress.

"yes."

Leng Yue had no choice but to agree respectfully, no matter how unwilling she felt.

Originally, after confirming that Li Wuji was in Wuji Tower last night, she was already secretly happy, thinking that she could completely eradicate Li Wuji this time to avenge her past.

But she didn't expect that after she reported back to the empress, she didn't get what she wanted.

"Okay, I'm tired."

The empress waved her hand, signaling the two of them to leave.

After the two left, the empress put herself on the couch weakly and gently pressed her forehead to calm her complicated mood.

At this time, footsteps sounded slowly, and the man in black robe slowly walked out of the corner again.

"What do you think?"

The empress didn't open her eyes, she just asked casually.

"It's so confusing that there's no way to argue."

"My subordinates have sent people to investigate secretly, but no valuable clues have been found."

The man in black robe hesitated for a moment and answered slowly.

"Isn't he really Li Wuji?!"

The empress sighed and murmured to herself.

After the incident was exposed, she was almost certain that Mr. Wuji was Li Wuji, but the fact that Mr. Wuji still stayed in Wuji Tower after the incident made her fall into doubt.

If Mr. Wuji is really Li Wuji, it is impossible or should not be possible for him to stay in the Jiuyou Realm. At least he must distance himself from what happened last night.

However, Master Wuji not only did not leave Jiuyou Realm, but also drove the Five Elements Division out of Wuji Tower with a tough attitude. He had no scruples at all, which was unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to find a way to quell the blood baby rumors. If we let it go, the news will spread all over the world very quickly, which will be very detrimental to your Majesty and Li Guo."

The man in black robe hesitated and said seriously.

"I have ordered the capital guards to find ways to curb the rumors, but this is not enough. It is best to let Xue Chi come forward secretly. Anyone who dares to discuss this matter will be shot everywhere!"

The empress frowned and said in a cold voice.

At this point, there is no better way and we can only resort to extreme measures.

"yes!"

The man in black robe paused, respectfully agreed, and slowly stepped back.

"Someone is coming!"

The empress frowned and thought for a moment, then shouted outside the palace.

"His Majesty?"

Soon, Ye Han, the commander of the Red Fish Guards, walked in quickly and bowed respectfully.

"Go to the East Palace quickly and ask Taiqing to come see me."

The empress said coldly.

Ye Han agreed and immediately went to the East Palace.

The empress sat on the couch, squinting her eyes, thoughtfully.

Although the clues were enough to prove that Marquis Li'an was not related to what happened last night, she still had suspicions and had to find a way to confirm.

…

Princess Yongan's Mansion.

Backyard side hall.

Ling Yuyan stood in front of the writing desk, carefully copying the calligraphy written by Li Wuji when he came to the mansion last time.

But no matter how much she imitated, she could never write the charm of Li Wuji.

"Princess, early this morning, the rumor that the empress drank blood to live longer has been spread throughout the capital. People are panicking. People are afraid to take their children to the streets. Some people have even secretly sent their children out of the city.

."

"It seems that Empress Xiaoyun has suffered a big setback this time. What is even more unexpected is that the grandson of the former emperor is actually still alive in the world."

Xia Qiu stood aside and said slowly, with a hint of gloating in his words.

"Things in the court should not be discussed in private, lest there be ears behind the walls!"

Ling Yuyan, who was practicing calligraphy, raised her head and glanced at Xia Qiu dissatisfied, and said with a serious face.

"What are you afraid of? This is the princess's mansion and there are no outsiders."

"What's more, news has come from the imperial capital, asking about the murder of the young prince. Princess, is this really the end of the matter? Now that there is civil strife in the capital, why not..."

"shut up!"

Before Xia Qiu finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by Ling Yuyan.

Seeing that Ling Yuyan was really angry, Xia Qiu shrank her neck and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

"How can this little rumor shake the Liguo Dynasty? Even if the rumors are true, I'm afraid it won't help."

"If you act rashly, it will only bring disaster to Ling Country!"

Ling Yuyan put down the pen in her hand and said seriously, inadvertently recalling the words Li Wuji said before leaving yesterday.

"This slave is too talkative."

Xia Qiu nodded and said timidly.

"Reply to the imperial capital immediately. Now is not the time. Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."

"Don't be too hasty in everything. Don't worry, this princess will take revenge sooner or later!"

Ling Yuyan clenched her fists and said decisively.

The hatred of her younger brother's death in vain, although the murderer is dead, the hatred has not been eliminated. The culprit of all this, she has long been classified as Li Guo Dynasty!
