The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 135 Investigation

As soon as Song Wanru raised her head slightly, she met the cold and fierce eyes of Queen Chen.

She was more unfamiliar than any queen she had known before.

Then the tension in her heart became more and more intense, as if she was being pressed down by a huge mountain, and she was a little breathless.

"You still don't admit it now?"

The corners of the queen's mouth twitched slightly, and her tone became more displeased.

"I am innocent! I have never done anything wrong. Please, Queen, please look into this matter."

Song Wanru's lips turned a little pale, but she couldn't admit it. If she admitted it, there would be only one outcome.

"Do you dare to say that you have no connection with Guard Xu?"

The queen sneered and suddenly felt that Song Wanru in the center of the hall was extremely ridiculous.

The emperor has found Guard Xu, and he has confessed.

A quarter after the morning, she learned some results from Liu Sheng.

Although Guard Xu did not say much, his eyes, tone, and words were full of protection and affection for Song Wanru.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between the two is not simple.

So Liu Sheng informed the emperor of the result, together with the evidence, the jade comb and the letters in Xu Ziang's room.

The whole thing was already clear, but Liu Sheng discovered something wrong during the conversation between the emperor and the imperial physician.

According to the imperial physician, during the time when the imperial palace's Ministry of Punishment was hit by a sudden epidemic, they were completely focused on studying epidemics and typhoid fever, and paid little attention to Yu Fu Palace's Ru Ying.

However, Ru Da Ying from Yu Fu Palace was one of the first people to be accepted.

How did Ru Ying know that the Imperial Hospital already had the medicine for treatment, and how did the medicine reach Yufu Palace?

You must know that the emperor had already issued an order at that time that no one was allowed to approach the Yufu Palace.

In addition to the eunuchs who delivered meals every day, there were also the sword-carrying guards who patrolled...

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng felt that he had discovered something extraordinary.

After the imperial physician left, Liu Sheng came to the emperor respectfully, bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I have handed over the results of the interrogation to the Empress?"

"Well! Did the Queen start to interrogate Ru and agree?"

Gu Junshen asked softly and began to deal with today's government affairs.

During the morning court session, many local officials reported the results of the epidemic, and with the help of medicine, the epidemic was well resolved.

The number of casualties decreased for a time, and even the area of ​​infection was much smaller.

After hearing this, Gu Junshen immediately smiled. This is a good thing, and it is a great thing that concerns the people's livelihood.

This shows that the instructions he issued regarding epidemics were accurate, and this will inevitably be recorded in the history books.

However, he was not happy for long, because Liu Sheng's next words made him look even more serious, and he even fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty! I have discovered something incredible. When Ruyi was imprisoned, someone sent him medicine. It might have been Guard Xu."

As Liu Sheng spoke, his voice was low and deep, and some sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"In that case, you will go to the Imperial Hospital and Yufu Palace to investigate. Make sure you check the records of Yufu Palace thoroughly! You have today to do so."

Although there was no need to pay too much attention to a concubine he had never slept with, the guards with swords involved the most important layer of protection in the palace.

The fact that Xu Ziang was able to do such a thing out of his own selfish desires shows that the military must have made a big mistake when selecting talents.

If this problem is not solved, there may be many Xu Ziangs, which would undoubtedly be fatal to the imperial palace.

Perhaps he also needs to conduct a new round of inspections on this group of sword-carrying guards.

"The slave obeys the order"

……

Wangyueju.

Nanxiang sat in the middle of the pavilion in the courtyard.

The sun was not very strong today, and the wild chrysanthemums were blooming on both sides of the pavilion. She always felt happy every time she saw them.

She was holding a storybook in her hand, which was recently sent to her by Gu Junshen.

Ever since Gu Junshen heard that she liked to read storybooks, he specially ordered people to collect storybooks of all kinds from outside the palace.

Nanxiang was not picky. After all, it was very boring in the palace. She preferred to read quietly rather than listen to noisy opera.

"My queen! The pregnancy-preserving medicine is ready."

Kikuhei came to Nanxiang with the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that he had asked Haruyue to prepare in the morning.

"What's going on at Jingren Palace?"

Nanxiang personally checked the main ingredients of the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and only drank it in small sips after confirming that there was no problem.

"The queen and her concubines are interrogating Ru Ying-yu."

"We still need a trial when the evidence is so conclusive?"

Nanxiang sneered and drank the remaining medicine in one gulp.

Although Nan Xiang did not go to pay her respects, she had heard that Song Wanru was dragged away by the Queen's men last night.

After all, Yufu Palace and Wangyue Residence are separated by just an outer corridor.

Some sound had already been heard.

However, even without this noise, it is possible to infer based on the process that Song Wanru had been taken away.

It is certain that Song Wanru will be affected, but it is not certain to what extent Xu Ziang's punishment will be.

In the ancient imperial palace, if such a thing happened, the person would usually be executed.

Although Xu Ziang is a sword-bearing guard in the Northern Dynasty palace, whether there is any truth in this official position can be seen from the last time Xu Ziang was caught trying to meet with the concubine in private.

"But with the honey? It tastes sweet."

Nanxiang then pursed her lips lightly, turned her eyes slightly and asked.

"Your Highness can't hide anything from you. Caiyun was afraid that the medicine would taste bitter, so she added some honey."

Juping smiled and put the medicine bowl on the plate.

"Caiyun is becoming more and more sensible."

……

Jingren Palace.

Song Wanru was stared at by the Queen with eagle-like eyes, as if she would see through her in the next second.

"It doesn't matter!"

She replied without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, a eunuch came to report that..."

Caizhi walked out from behind the screen, lowered her head and whispered in the queen's ear. The queen's eyes immediately widened.

Then she looked at Song Wanru with some shock and solemnity.

"Okay! You're still lying here! Didn't you say you had no relationship with Guard Xu? Why did the people sent by the emperor to investigate find out that Guard Xu was once engaged to you? You are so shameless, it really brings shame to the royal family!"

"Someone! Drag her away, take off her concubine's clothes, and banish her to the cold palace!"

Song Wanru never expected that the emperor would actually go to the Song Mansion to investigate in order to find out the relationship between her and Xu Ziang.

When has the emperor ever been so attentive to her?

What she didn't know was that Gu Junshen did this just to investigate Xu Ziang, not for her.

If Xu Ziang had not been caught and went to Yufu Palace to see her, she might not have been able to enter the emperor's sight.

After hearing what the queen said, she turned pale and thought she was completely finished.

"Your Majesty! I cancelled my engagement with him before I entered the palace. I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Song Wanru was about to cry, with two lines of tears at the corners of her eyes. She didn't know whether it was regret or pain.

But she had not yet gained the emperor's favor and had not yet truly become a concubine.

Seeing the eunuch dragging her away, she became more and more panicked and kowtowed to the queen continuously.

When the concubines saw this, their expressions varied.
