After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that he shuddered all over.

He hurriedly walked out of the crowd and knelt in front of Emperor Yuanwu: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am just a small eunuch. How can I have such great power and dare to take bribes in such a matter as the selection of the imperial concubines?"

Having said that, the queen no longer cared about anything else and directly stated her purpose.

"You naturally don't have that much power, but that doesn't mean your master doesn't have that much power either. Maybe he just wants to use your house outside the palace as a convenience, but in fact he wants to give the gold and silver to Concubine Shu."

The corners of Concubine Shu's lips curled up slightly without being noticed.

She knew this was odd.

Since Meng Wanying originally intended to marry her second brother.

Even if she were to participate in a talent show now, those who need connections to find a way out would naturally not find her.

It took a long time.

The queen is waiting for her here.

next second.

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground crying, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I only heard about this from Xiao Shunzi this morning. What Prime Minister Meng? I have been in the palace for many years, so how could I know this Prime Minister Meng?"

“Oh.” The Queen sneered, “Shu Guifei, of course you don’t know Prime Minister Meng, but when the Seventh Princess’ Hundred Days Banquet was held, Prime Minister Meng’s wife took Shu Guifei to the courtyard of Qiluan Garden and talked for a long time. Many people saw it at the time.”

After the empress finished speaking, she turned around and saluted Emperor Yuanwu: "Your Majesty, now that Imperial Concubine Shu is deliberately concealing her hypocritical relationship with Prime Minister Meng's family, Your Majesty must investigate the whole matter!"

The space between Emperor Yuanwu's eyebrows had twisted into the shape of a "川" character at this time.

He stared at the queen in silence for a few seconds, then turned to Noble Concubine Shu and asked, "Is this true?"

"It is true." Concubine Shu told the truth.

The corners of the queen's lips curled up proudly: "Your Majesty, since my sister has admitted it, I think there is nothing to interrogate. Come, arrest Xiao Shunzi."

Xiao Shunzi was so frightened that he trembled: "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

His voice didn't fall.

The sword-carrying guards arranged by the Queen to guard the palace gate had already stepped into Concubine Shu's palace.

"Who dares?" Concubine Shu turned her eyes and said coldly to the queen: "Since the queen knows that Madam Meng and I talked for a long time in the courtyard of Qiluan Garden that day, does the queen know what we talked about?"

The Queen's eyes trembled: "There were so many people in Qiluan Garden at that time, and the noise of people coming and going was constant. How could I know?"

"If I remember correctly, during the Seventh Princess's Hundred Days Banquet, the Queen was ill and did not come to Qiluan Garden. So how did the Queen know about my conversation with Madam Meng?" Concubine Shu's eyes were sharp, and she did not give in at all.

"Even if someone else told me, so what?" The Queen's eyes flashed with a trace of panic: "This matter is not important at all. Concubine Shu should explain in detail what your relationship with Prime Minister Meng's family is."

"Empress, as the mistress of the harem, how could you easily believe the gossips of idle people in the palace?" Concubine Shu asked back.

"Noble Concubine Shu, there is no need to waste time here with your grand talk. I think instead of wasting time on this, you'd better explain to the emperor your relationship with Prime Minister Meng's family, as well as the matter of the box of gold, silver and jewelry." The queen sneered.
