Rao was puzzled, but Xia Lishuang still smiled and replied.

"It's good."

Empress Tao laughed, with a bit of teasing.

"Hurry up! The queen mother is still waiting to hold her little grandson! With a child, it is easier for her to straighten up. ”

Xia Lishuang touched her nose, a little embarrassed, and could only nod yes.

After not sitting for a while, a eunuch came to report that the emperor invited Xia Lishuang to go to the imperial study.

Xia Lishuang didn't know why, so she still followed.

……

Inside the Imperial Study.

Xia Lishuang lowered her head and looked at the bright yellow in front of her.

"Is there something wrong with my father calling his sons?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Xia Lishuang and said in a deep voice.

"The eldest princess is dead, you should also know the news, what do you think?"

Xia Lishuang was not shocked.

Although it is said that Xia Yanyan has done a lot of evil, she has died innocently, and she has countless enemies, there are not too many people who want to put her to death.

However, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and if everything is done according to the regulations, Xia Yanyan will at least wait until the autumn to ask for beheading.

Suddenly dying in prison is obviously unreasonable and unruly.

Before Xia Lishuang could answer, the emperor had already spoken again.

"Hanged himself...... But I think it's not that simple, you take my edict and go to the secret investigation...... Let's see who's behind it, so eager to kill people! ”

The emperor pinched his eyebrows and handed the bright yellow cloth on the table to Xia Lishuang.

Xia Lishuang took it cautiously.

At the moment, apart from his father and the crown prince, he can't think of a third person to attack.

Since I let myself check, it means that it is not the hand of my father.

Could it be that the prince is really bold?

"Before the eldest princess died, she met with me, and she told me that she had lost a gold collar, and the gold collar was taken by your concubine......"

The emperor looked at Xia Lishuang, and the tentative meaning in his words was very obvious.

"In that collar, there was once the edict of the first emperor to pass on the throne!"

"Edict? Is there an edict in it? ”

Xia Lishuang's body stiffened, and she showed a shocked expression very cooperatively.

He knelt down in his robe, his face frightened.

"I hope my father will forgive me. At that time, Ran Ran was also in a hurry to get the evidence, so she got it by chance, besides, she didn't know the secret! ”

The emperor looked at Xia Lishuang, who hurriedly explained, and laughed.

"I don't want to ask more, what are you nervous about?"

Xia Lishuang pursed her lips secretly.

I, the emperor's father, have nothing else, and the food I have eaten for so many years has grown in my heart.

"Erchen immediately returned to the house and presented this thing to his father!"

Seeing Xia Lishuang so good, the emperor finally put his mind at ease.

"Old Seven, you are a good boy!"

……

Wen Ranran trotted all the way back to the palace, and saw Qiu He helping her clean up the room.

"The side concubine is back?"

"Hmm!" Wen Ranran got the white ointment, "Go and get me a basin of water!" ”

Qiu He answered.

Wen Ranran washed her face and was about to apply the white paste to herself, when she saw Qiu He walking out with the quilt in her arms.

"Huh? Qiuhe, what are you doing? ”

Wen Ranran looked at the head of the bed, and her heart tightened.

Qiuhe turned back inexplicably, "It was raining heavily a few days ago, and the quilt was damp, I'll help you dry it!" ”

"Oh! Oh good! ”

Wen Ranran agreed on the surface, Qiu He went out with the quilt in his arms, and hurriedly touched the dark grid at the head of the bed.

The space between her fingers was empty, Wen Ranran's body stiffened, and a chill jumped up behind her.

The gold collar is gone!
