After raising a cub, the prince's wife became famous all over the world

Chapter 26 What

Wei Chu's eyes fell on the unidentified object on the table in front of Emperor Qi, and he frowned.

"Your Majesty, I do not recognize this item."

Emperor Qi nodded slightly and said, "Wei Qing is investigating the case of the demon fox now. I shouldn't have asked you to come to the palace, but Prime Minister Pei and I have been studying it for an entire afternoon and still have no clue, so I asked you, a young man, to come and take a look."

Wei Chu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am terrified and have failed your trust."

Emperor Qi raised his eyes and looked at him, "What are you doing? Get up and answer!"

"Your Majesty, it has been over a month since I took over the case of the demon fox, but I have not yet arrested the murderer. This is because I am incompetent."

"Your Majesty! Today, while tracking down the suspect, I discovered something. This matter is of great importance. Although it is only my guess, I must tell Your Majesty about it."

"speak."

"Today, I seem to have seen a thread of connection."

The expression on Emperor Qi's face became solemn. He looked at Wei Chu. Wei Chu said, "Today, I led people to hunt down the suspect in the demon fox case. When we were about to capture him, he swallowed a pill."

"Although he took the medicine quickly, I still saw it clearly. The pill was red in color and had a strong fragrance."

"After that man took the elixir, his power increased greatly. I was no match for him and nearly lost my life at his hands."

"At the critical moment, fortunately, the goddess came to my aid, and I am now able to stand before His Majesty."

Emperor Qi pinched his brows and asked, "Are you sure it's a clue?" "After taking the medicine, the man's blood flowed backwards and he died. It's definitely a clue."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, Emperor Qi was silent for a long time.

"Wei Qing, Da Qi, undercurrents are surging." He said, "At this moment, the goddess descended from the sky may be a good opportunity for us."

Emperor Qi's eyes fell on the candies on the table. "These are gifts from the goddess to Wei Zhao and his teachers and peers in the academy."

"Say, it's candy."

"Things in the divine world are different from those in our mortal world."

Emperor Qi suddenly set his eyes on Wei Chu, his eyes were deep. "Wei Qing, your youngest son is very much loved by the goddess."

Wei Chu knelt down on his knees, "Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

Emperor Qi sighed, "I am tired, please leave."

Wei Chu bowed, and only when he left the palace did he realize that his palms were covered in sweat.

Chen Bing was waiting at the palace gate, and when he saw him coming out, he immediately stepped forward. "Sir."

"Walk."

After Wei Chu left, Emperor Qi stood in front of the window and stood there for a long time, with Eunuch Hong standing behind him to watch over him.

After a long while, Emperor Qi sighed, "The only achievement I can claim as my life achievement is probably defeating the incompetent Yuwen Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler of the time. Daqi is lucky to have you."

"I am old," Emperor Qi said, "Nowadays, undercurrents are surging in the great Qi. Hong Zhao, how long have you been following me?"

"I have been following Your Majesty for 28 years since His Majesty was the Grand General of the Guards."

"Yes, it has been twenty-eight years. We are all old..." Emperor Qi sighed, "It is because I am old that my good sons are fighting in the court. They all think that I am old and should abdicate and let others take over."

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Hong shouted, but he didn't know what to say.

"Well, I am not going to die yet. I will not die easily until those treacherous and evil people are brought to justice." Emperor Qi laughed, "Speaking of which, I am a little curious about what the goddess looks like."

"This, I don't know."

Emperor Qi stroked his beard and thought, "Tell me, if I ask someone to invite Wei Zhao, the little boy, into the palace, will Wei Chu turn against me?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Shaoqing has always been a cold and prudent person, so please stop trying to tease him."

"Alright, alright, I'm just saying, this kid is really not fun anymore when he grows up. He was so cute when he was little, but now, he either answers in a rigid manner or thinks about killing me all day long."

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Emperor Qi grabbed a candy from the table and threw it at Eunuch Hong, "Okay, take the candy and get out of here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

After Eunuch Hong left, Emperor Qi sat down and began to review the memorials. After reviewing for a while, Emperor Qi's eyes fell on the candies on the table and he reached out to peel one.

At Yingtian Academy, Xiao Changkong was so excited after getting the candy that he treasured it and hid it away without planning to eat it.

After nightfall, he hugged his little quilt and squeezed into Wei Zhao's room.

"Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao, let's sleep together tonight, okay?"

Meeting his sparkling eyes, Wei Zhao paused and did not refute immediately. As a result, Xiao Changkong climbed onto Wei Zhao's bed holding his quilt.

"Wei Zhao, come quickly."

"Wei Zhao, Wei Zhao, can you tell me about the fairy sister?" Xiao Changkong's tone was full of curiosity and admiration. "Wei Zhao, you must be amazing!"

Wei Zhao didn't know where he got this answer from, and tilted his head.

“Why do you say I’m so great?”

"Of course you are amazing!" Xiao Changkong said loudly, "Otherwise, why can't everyone see the Fairy Sister, but only you can see her!"

Xiao Changkong's voice was so loud that Wei Zhao immediately rushed forward and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Wei Zhao said, "Don't disturb others."

"Mmm." Xiao Changkong nodded, and Wei Zhao let go of his hand.

"Wei Zhao, can you tell me something?" "Fairy sister..."

Qin Chaoyan, who was on the roof, listened to the childish chatter of the two children below, and the smile on her face never stopped. After she put on the clothes in the gift bag, her five senses became much more sensitive.

Even though Xiao Changkong and Wei Zhao tried to lower their voices, Qin Chaoyan could still hear them clearly. Not only that, she could hear any sounds within a five-mile radius.

Looking at the moonlight, Qin Chaoyan bought a pot of wine in 425, admired the bright moon and drank the wine.

There are indeed undercurrents in Kyoto in the dark night.

A third-rank official who was sleeping soundly at home was killed in his sleep, and a white fox appeared in his yard.

Wei Chu and others received information from the spy, and when they arrived, the person had already been killed.

Chen Bing stretched out his hand and hit the wall. "It's really hateful. How come this murderer can always escape before we arrive?"

Wei Chu carefully examined the victim's body and found that the modus operandi was the same as the previous 18 bodies.

Within one month, eighteen officials in the capital of Daqi had been killed, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Chen Bing, do you smell a strange smell in this room?"

"Smell?" Chen Bing and the others sniffed hard, but could not smell anything special. "Sir, I can't smell anything special."

Wei Chu took a deep breath and walked around the house. Suddenly, he stopped at a place.
