Wearing a book, hooking him up

Qianqing Palace.

Jun Zechen leaned on the couch with one leg slightly bent. His posture seemed casual but revealed an indescribable majesty.

His body was half turned sideways, and he was flipping through a memorial in his hand carelessly.

"How's the investigation going?"

His voice was low and magnetic. Although he was asking questions, his eyes did not move away from the memorials.

Anshun stood aside respectfully and reported with his head down.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan has always been in secret contact with Canglang. According to your instructions, I did not stop Concubine Lan from passing on the message."

"That's why the guards were more lax with Concubine Lan, and that's why the snake was brought into the palace."

When Anshun said this, he felt very panicked. It was because of his carelessness.

An Shun knelt down immediately with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is all my fault. I did not realize that Concubine Lan brought such a poisonous snake into the palace."

"That's what led to the Queen's accident."

Jun Zechen's face instantly turned gloomy. He sat up abruptly, a flash of anger in his eyes, and kicked Anshun on the shoulder.

His eyes were filled with chilling coldness.

"Even such a poisonous snake could enter my palace and almost hurt the queen. You are becoming more and more incompetent."

Jun Zechen's voice was filled with anger and rebuke.

Anshun also looked miserable, but fortunately, His Majesty's kick was not very hard and did not break his shoulder.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me and allow me to thoroughly investigate this matter and make up for my crime with merit." He knocked his head heavily to the ground.

Jun Zechen glanced at him and continued to lie down.

"continue."

Anshun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The reason why the people I arranged in Concubine Lan's palace didn't find it was because the snake was sent to the cold palace after entering the palace. The cold palace is remote and has many empty rooms, so it will not attract attention."

"I remember that there are guards in the cold palace. What do they do?"

Jun Zechen's voice was not loud, but it revealed an invisible pressure. The chill in his tone made An Shun sweat for the guards in the cold palace.

The Queen gave birth prematurely this time, and it almost resulted in the death of three people. Your Majesty will not let anyone involved in this matter off easily.

"Your Majesty, I just found out during this investigation that the Canglang Nation actually prepared three human skin masks for Concubine Lan, and one of them was given to Ling, so that Ling could be released from the cold palace."

"I guess the reason why the snake was taken to the cold palace was because of this human skin mask. It was disguised."

The reason why Anshun knew there were three was that he spent a large sum of money to buy the information through secret guards in various parts of the kingdom.

After all, the human skin masks from the Canglang Kingdom were bought at a huge price. As long as one has money, there is news that can be leaked.

Jun Zechen frowned, and a deep groove formed between his eyebrows.

Muttered: "Why did Concubine Kelan want to harm Yaoyao......"

As Canglang's spy, Concubine Lan has always behaved non-competitively since entering the palace, and has tried her best to reduce her presence in the harem.

I just don't want him to doubt Shang Canglang.

What good does it do her to do such a thing?

unless......

"I am also very confused about this. Concubine Lan has no reason to murder the Queen."

"The only people in the palace who hated the queen the most were Concubines Lin and Ye, but they are both dead."

"But when I thought about Concubine Lan's human skin mask, I suddenly had another guess."

"Ye may not be dead. Although the Ye family has fallen apart, its foundation is still there. Only Ye has the bargaining chip to trade with Concubine Lan."

"After that, I sent people to keep an eye on Concubine Lan's people. I found that a close maid beside Concubine Lan was very suspicious. She had a hoarse voice and a strange face. She was suspected to be wearing a human skin mask."

When Anshun said this, he raised his eyes slightly and observed His Majesty's expression.

When Jun Zechen heard this, his guess was basically confirmed.

But he had never expected that Canglang had prepared a human skin mask. It seemed that he had made sufficient preparations in order to pass the message out of the palace.

But since Concubine Lan dared to hurt Yaoyao, she should be prepared to be doomed.

The depths of Jun Zechen's eyes seemed like an endless cold pond, instantly tinged with a chilling coldness.

He turned the ring on his hand, Canglang, sooner or later, will belong to the king.

Anshun couldn't tell what expression His Majesty had.

He continued, "Now the criminal Ling has been locked up in the secret room of Kunning Palace. I am unable to interrogate Ling, and my speculation about Ye is difficult to verify."

Anshun's face was full of embarrassment and he lowered his head.

"Then dig the grave." Jun Zechen said coldly.

Anshun's eyes lit up instantly. Yes, as long as he checked whether Ye was dead, everything would be clear.

"Yes, I will arrange someone to do it later." Anshun responded quickly.

Anshun was about to retreat.

Jun Zechen suddenly said: "Wait."

"How has the Queen been investigating these days?"

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an elusive and complex emotion.

Although he promised Yaoyao not to investigate the matter, Yaoyao did not know that this matter involved Canglang and his future arrangements to attack other countries.

Therefore, both for public and private reasons, Jun Zechen must get to the bottom of this.

On the day Yaoyao gave birth, Ling was taken to the palace. She obviously thought her father was dead, so she made a desperate attempt to kill Yaoyao.

But Ling was in the cold palace, how could she know?

When Yaoyao heard this, she immediately stopped interrogating him.

Jun Zechen realized at that time that she was hiding something from him, but she had just given birth and Jun Zechen didn't want her to worry.

I didn't ask any more questions.

"Your Majesty, the Queen found the human skin mask that Ling brought with her when she left the cold palace in the peach forest. She should have some guesses in her mind."

Anshun lowered his head, his tone respectful and cautious.

He didn't say much, and he didn't dare to mention too much about the queen's plans.

His Majesty himself is happy to be kept in the dark. If he says too much, and the Queen tries to coax His Majesty into submission, he would be in a dilemma.

Therefore, regarding matters concerning the Queen, Anshun would only answer whatever His Majesty asked.

Jun Zechen sighed in his heart. He had always known how smart Yaoyao was.

In the past, Jun Zechen could still deceive himself into thinking that she was smart but not scheming.

But recently, she has been showing a different side to him.

Since he stopped entering the harem, Yaoyao seemed to become more real in front of him, and Jun Zechen was happy about it.

However, her meticulousness in calculating others even frightened Jun Zechen.

If he were to speculate about her with suspicion, he would recall everything that had happened in the past, and the more he thought about it, the more flustered Jun Zechen would feel.

He would rather leave it as it is, not to delve into it further or to suspect anything.

Kunning Palace.

Every period of confinement is the most difficult time for Su Jingyao.

He was trapped in Kunning Palace for almost a whole month and never stepped out of the palace.

However, teasing the princess and the prince every day is quite fun.

At the princess and prince's baptism ceremony, Jun Zechen gave them names.

The princess was named Jiayue. "Jia" means beautiful, kind and outstanding; "Yue" actually means a magic pearl, indicating that the princess treasures it like a rare treasure.

Jun Zechen hopes that the princess will be able to possess all the good things in the world and have a life as bright as a pearl in the future.

And directly granted the eldest princess the title Ruixi, so she was called Princess Ruixi.

At present, Jun Zechen has not appointed a crown prince, and Princess Ruixi can almost be regarded as the most noble among all the royal heirs.

Su Jingyao gave the princess the nickname "Ning'an", wishing her a peaceful and healthy life.

Both the name and title that Jun Zechen gave to the princess were extremely precious, so the nickname that Su Jingyao chose was more about the meaning of peace.

The fifth prince was named Jun Moyan. "Mo" means erudition and outstanding talent; "Yan" means enthusiasm and vigorous vitality.

Jun Zechen hopes that the prince will be well-read, talented, and at the same time have an upward attitude and a passionate nature, so that he can become a pillar of the country in the future.

Su Jingyao gave the prince the nickname "Yi Chen", hoping that he would be free and easy, not bound by the world.

Jun Zechen had already chosen the names of the princess and the prince when Su Jingyao was pregnant.

The gender of the fetus was not known at the time, so several names for both boys and girls were prepared.

Now that they have a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, they happened to choose these two from the many prepared names.

Jun Zechen only gave names to the third and fourth princes when they were one year old.

There were rumors in the palace that the heir born to the queen was truly noble.

His Majesty dotes on the Queen, and all of her royal heirs are listed in the royal edict at birth.

After Su Jingyao finished her confinement, she was finally able to move around freely and her mood improved a lot.

"Let's go, I'm going to go check on Ling family."

Su Jingyao changed into an extremely gorgeous palace dress, the silk and satin sparkling with brilliant luster.

Her hair was piled up high, and above the carefully combed bun, a gorgeous phoenix crown was dazzling and shining.

She wore a dazzling jewel necklace on her slender neck, and the oriental pearl earrings on her ears swayed slightly with her movements, adding a touch of lively beauty.

Her makeup is also extremely gorgeous, especially her eye makeup. The carefully drawn lines and colors make her eyes deep and mysterious.

When she looks at others expressionlessly, her gaze seems to penetrate people's hearts. It is extremely intimidating and captivating.

After Miaoxia finished dressing up her master, she could not help but stand there in amazement.

The master has given birth to the eldest prince, and now she has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. She is only eighteen years old, at the prime of her youth and beauty.

Because of her pregnancy and childbirth, she has become more mature and charming.

Coupled with the queen's unique and noble palace dress, she could easily grab everyone's attention just by standing there quietly.

Su Jingyao chuckled, her laughter as clear as a bell.

"Have you seen enough?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Miaoxia suddenly came back to her senses and a blush instantly appeared on her face.

"My Lord is so beautiful."

"Did Daddy bring the things in?" Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, then asked lightly.

Miaoxia immediately became serious and replied, "It was delivered yesterday."

"Well, let's go."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, and moved with graceful steps.
