I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Your Majesty, Queen, I have learned from my investigation that there is a maid from the laundry department beside Concubine Su. She has been acting strangely in the past few days. Many maids have seen her frequently entering and leaving Linglong Palace."

"Who is it? Take him away!" Xiao Heng waved his hand, and two eunuchs came up holding Nan Xing. Nan Xing was lying on the ground with her clothes in disarray. The bloodstains on her body showed that she had been tortured long ago.

Su Minglang watched Nanxing being brought up like this, his fists clenched, anger rising, "Lord Li, who allowed you to torture my people like this!"

"Empress Zhaoyi," Li Zhao, the Minister of the Dali Temple, bowed without fear, "I am only following your majesty's orders to thoroughly investigate the poisoning. Since it is an investigation, it is inevitable that some means must be used. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"you!"

Su Minglang was about to get angry, but the Queen Mother grabbed his arm and pressed him down on the chair.

Seeing her unhappy expression, Xiao Heng slowly spoke: "Okay, I have specially authorized the Dali Temple to investigate the case, and it is normal to impose some punishment. I know that Su Zhaoyi has a kind heart, but what if this kindness is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

"Your Majesty, I believe Nanxing is definitely not such a person!" Su Minglang stood up angrily, but the blood rushed to his head suddenly, and his eyes went dark.

Su Minglang swayed unsteadily for a few times, and she stretched out her hands to grab the table before she could stand firmly. "Your Majesty, I…"

"Su Zhaoyi!" The Queen looked over with some concern, "Xiaoye, why don't you help your master sit down quickly."

"Are you okay?" Xiao Heng stood up and walked over with a worried look on his face. "How is it? Are you feeling better? Do you want to postpone the trial?"

"Zhao Guangwei! How do you do things? Why is Su Zhaoyi still in such poor health?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down!" Doctor Zhao rushed forward in panic. "Your Majesty's health is too poor, so it is difficult to see any effect. But it must be effective, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Your Majesty!" Su Minglang was shaken so hard that her mind was in a mess and her words became weak. "I understand my own body. Please don't blame the doctor."

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Doctor Zhao."

"I dare not!" Doctor Zhao hurriedly saluted, and when he saw that Xiao Heng seemed to have let him go, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Zhaoyi," the queen ordered someone to lay a few more layers of thick blankets around her, "if you are not feeling well, don't force yourself."

"I'm fine," Su Minglang slowly opened her eyes, and the shadow in front of her had disappeared. "I'm just a little weak, it's nothing serious."

"Please continue, Master Li."

Li Zhao looked at Xiao Heng as if to signal him to do so. Seeing Xiao Heng nod to him, he slowly spoke: "However, this palace maid is gritting her teeth and refuses to give in."

"She only said that she was seen by someone she had worked with before. The two of them were familiar with each other, so she frequently went in and out of Linglong Palace just to talk to acquaintances."

"I don't believe a word of this."

"Since Su Zhaoyi is willing to serve as my maid, why not come and ask her in person?"

Su Minglang walked towards Nanxing with Xiaoye's support and gently helped her up from the ground, "Are you okay?"

Su Minglang looked at Nan Xing's cheek injured by the whip with eyes full of heartache, "Does it hurt?"

Nan Xing looked at the person in front of him, and his cold heart slowly melted: "Master..."

"Tell me, Nanxing, who is your friend?"

"Master... I..." Nan Xing looked at her with guilt. His body was getting weaker and weaker due to the torture. Now that he was so excited, he felt dizzy.

"My queen, I lied." Nan Xing grabbed Su Minglang's clothes tightly and cried tremblingly, "My queen, please don't send me back."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Su Minglang patted her back soothingly. Her shoulder blades had become thin and protruding due to the torture, and her whole body looked thin.

"My lady, I did see a former colleague, but I did not go out to meet her privately. Instead, I just delivered a few messages for her."

"She was an acquaintance of mine. She also committed a crime and was driven out. However, she was lucky and was not sent to the laundry department. Instead, she stayed with you."

"I was very excited when I saw her, because most of the people I met before were now strangers. That's why I agreed when she asked me to deliver a letter for her."

"At first, she wrote to the palace before, and I thought she was just thinking about the past because her work here was not easy enough."

"I tried to persuade her, but she refused to listen. I softened my heart and agreed to his request."

"Could it be, could it be her? Madam, I was hurt by my weakness! Madam, I am dying!"

"Okay, I get it." Su Minglang nodded and patted her hand to comfort her. "Don't worry, you were just deceived. I won't blame you."

Li Zhao saw some progress and quickly interrupted and asked, "Nanxing, tell me, who is the maid who asked you to deliver the message?"

"Lord Li!" Su Minglang gave him a disapproving look. Li Zhao naturally knew that she was deeply favored by His Majesty, so he could only soften his tone and said, "Please tell Miss Nanxing."

"Yes, it's Jasmine." When Nan Xing saw him, she felt a chill seeping into her bones, "My queen, everything I said is true!"

"Someone, go get Jasmine!" Li Zhao had just finished speaking when Su Minglang asked in confusion, "Jasmine? Is she the maid I punished for being lazy a few days ago?"

"Yes, it's her, Madam." Nan Xing nodded, "She should still be being punished and imprisoned by you."

"Sir Li, thank you for your help." Su Minglang explained the situation and nodded to Sir Li.

Li Zhao bid farewell to the Queen and His Majesty and hurried towards Linglong Palace.

"Su Zhaoyi, how are you feeling?" As soon as Li Zhao left, the Queen Mother asked worriedly, "Are you still feeling weak? You should slowly recuperate and never do anything that will make you angry again."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Su Minglang staggered to her feet and bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Queen." Xiao Heng spoke for the first time, "Thank you for taking charge of the six palaces. You are not in good health to begin with, so don't force yourself. If you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!" The Queen was a little flattered by his concern. "It is my honor and duty to help Your Majesty solve his problems."

"With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?" Xiao Heng smiled gently, and stretched out his hand to gently put it on the queen. "Su Zhaoyi, have you seen how the mistress of the six palaces behaves? You must learn more from the queen in the future."

The queen smiled shyly and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Su's matter is more important. It would be better if the truth can be revealed as soon as possible."
