The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 136 Cold Palace

At 5 p.m. in the evening, Gu Junshen learned the results of the investigation into Xu Ziang's identity and background from Liu Sheng.

He couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry about the result, but he just felt a little sentimental and even a little regretful.

Xu Ziang had indeed successfully become a sword-bearing guard through normal channels, and he was the fastest one, among the first batch recruited this year.

These results also show that this incident was not a problem with the military, but rather it happened with Xu Ziang.

Xu Ziang did not fulfill his duties as a sword-bearing guard. In addition to being absent from his duties, he also violated the palace's ban and even disobeyed the emperor's orders...

His performance in the military and his achievements in various aspects were all in Gu Junshen's hands. Each item was top-notch, even better than the contestants who joined the army in previous periods.

"How could such an excellent person be so stubborn?"

Gu Junshen shook his head slightly. Besides feeling sorry for the loss of such a talent in the imperial palace, he also felt inexplicably fortunate.

If this happened to Song Nanxiang, he would never let him go no matter what.

Fortunately, these thugs who were about to commit evil deeds against the palace were discovered in time, and the palace was cleared of a group of scum.

"Your Majesty. I have checked the records of the Imperial Hospital. The day when Yu Fu Palace exchanged the medicinal materials was the day when the imperial doctors developed a prescription for treating typhoid fever."

Liu Sheng bowed and replied, with some surprise and uncertainty in his tone.

When he went to the Imperial Hospital to check the medicinal material exchange records today, he thought he had seen it wrong at first glance.

I was really scared when I took a second look at it.

He even dug up the records of Yu Fu Palace's previous exchange of medicinal herbs. Although the herbs recorded were different, each herb had an important therapeutic effect on the treatment of typhoid fever.

Liu Sheng was confused for a moment. Why did Xu Ziang's exchange of medicinal materials for treating typhoid fever appear earlier than the Imperial Hospital?

Didn’t the Imperial Medical Bureau say that they developed a prescription for treating typhoid fever?

"Oh? Is it such a coincidence?" Gu Junshen was slightly surprised after hearing this and began to guess the connection.

"That means someone in Yufu Palace knows how to treat typhoid fever, so they exchanged for the corresponding medicinal materials?"

"That's right. And the Imperial Hospital may have used the prescription of the person from Yu Fu Palace."

Liu Sheng spoke softly about his analysis.

"Xuan Tai Hospital!"

After hearing this, Gu Junshen's face immediately became a little gloomy. It was not their thing, but they claimed that it was researched by them.

When did this Imperial Hospital become so immoral?

Looks like it needs some repair.

Soon, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Seeing the emperor sitting on the dragon throne with an unhappy face and a sense of coldness and alienation, the chief of the Imperial Hospital immediately knelt down and whispered, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"I wonder why the emperor summoned me here?"

The Imperial Hospital official's heart was in his throat and hot sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hmph. Who developed the recipe for treating typhoid fever?"

Gu Junshen's eyebrows were cold, and there was some questioning and anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty... this prescription was developed by Doctor Xu. We are also..."

"Alright. Take ten lashes of the cane yourself. Summon the imperial physician."

The chief imperial physician wanted to say something but was interrupted by Gu Junshen's cold voice, which was full of anger and helplessness.

"Yes!"

The chief imperial physician felt like crying when he heard this. How could such a disaster happen while he was sitting in the Imperial Hospital?

Is there something wrong with this prescription?

Why is the emperor so angry?

With a puzzled look and a sad expression, he slowly walked out of the Yangxin Palace under Liu Sheng's sympathetic gaze and went to be beaten.

Afterwards, Xu Kun was also called to the Imperial Hospital.

Compared to the panic-stricken chief imperial physician, Xu Kun seemed much calmer.

When facing Gu Junshen, he was able to answer questions fluently without being humble or arrogant.

"I have already prepared all the herbs for treating typhoid fever, and only some auxiliary medicines are left. The prescription was brought by a eunuch."

Xu Kun said this with his hands clasped, his face showing no signs of nervousness or panic, which made Gu Junshen unable to help but look at him with admiration.

"Although this matter has nothing to do with you, you did not explain the relationship in advance. I will fine you half a month's salary."

Gu Jun thought about it for a moment and finally decided to punish him.

After all, the Imperial Hospital has a heavy responsibility in this matter, and Xu Kun, as the key figure in it, must also be held accountable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Compared to the ten lashes from the steward, Xu Kun felt that he was much luckier.

"Your Majesty! I have interrogated the maids of Yufu Palace and they said that Guard Xu has been sending medicinal herbs to Ru Ying in the name of Your Majesty. This prescription may have something to do with him."

After Xu Kun left, Liu Sheng spoke softly again.

"It seems that this Guard Xu is really not a simple character. He is actually involved in so many things."

Gu Jun said in a deep voice, and suddenly felt in his heart that he could not stay.

"Your Majesty! I have something else to report."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Junshen put down the memorial irritably and asked with a gloomy face.

"The Queen has just sent word that Ru Ying has been stripped of her formal attire and banished to the cold palace."

"It's up to the Queen to decide on this matter. If this person agrees to enter the palace without telling her that she was engaged, the impact will be too serious. She will be beaten with 20 sticks and thrown into the cold palace."

At this time, in the Liuyun Palace, which was very far away from the Yangxin Palace and the Yufu Palace, miserable cries were heard.

what----

what----

The person shouting was Song Wanru who was dragged into the cold palace.

She was lying on a red table, with two tall eunuchs with cold faces standing on both sides, taking turns to hit her buttocks hard.

"My dear lady, please speak softly. Otherwise, you won't even have the energy to eat later."

One of the eunuchs said in a cold tone.

After hearing this, Song Wanru immediately closed her mouth and bit her lips tightly, which turned red and white.

It looked extremely painful.

After being dragged into this deserted palace, a eunuch arrived with an imperial decree, demoting her status to the lowest level of an official lady.

Her status was even lower than that of some palace maids and eunuchs.

Liuyun Palace is located in a corner of the huge imperial palace, where the sun often does not shine. There are dark clouds above the palace, the air is extremely hot and stuffy, and there is a fishy smell in the air.

After a while, a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The rain hit Song Wanru's broken buttocks, causing her to feel extremely painful instantly.

It was hard to tell whether the water flowing from the corners of my eyes was tears or rain.

……

Wangyueju.

"Your Majesty! The maids outside are saying that Ru Ying from Yufu Palace has been demoted to a court lady. She has been banished to the cold palace."

Kikuhei walked up to Nanxiang with light lotus steps and held his body upright.

"It must be the Queen's order."

Nanxiang still bent her thin lips, and her gestures as she flipped through the storybook were elegant and casual, as if she had no worries on her mind.

"Your Majesty is smart!"

After all, Song Wanru used to work under the Queen. It is hard to say whether the Queen will be responsible if something happens to her. Getting rid of her as soon as possible will also save trouble for yourself.
