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

"Concubine, I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Su Minglang knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live!", but his eyes were secretly scanning the situation in the room. Surprisingly, he did not see the person he was thinking of.

"My beloved concubine, please stand up!" Xiao Heng did not personally help her up as usual, but just waved his hand to signal Su Minglang to stand up, "I wonder what my beloved concubine wants to talk to me about?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Minglang thanked him softly, slowly straightened up, and walked to Xiao Heng to grind ink for him. "I heard that Your Majesty has been staying in the palace for several days to handle government affairs. I am worried about Your Majesty's health, so I dared to ask for an audience."

"I am afraid that if I delay your majesty's time, I will really deserve to die!"

"That's fine!" Xiao Heng reached out and held Su Minglang's hand that was covered with ink. "This kind of small matter will naturally be done by servants. How can I trouble my beloved concubine to do it herself?"

"Who used to stand here and grind ink for Your Majesty?" Su Minglang put down the ink stick as he held her hand, and leaned against him. "I feel so uncomfortable being so close to Your Majesty."

"Of course it's Li Peidong." Xiao Heng said as if it was a matter of course: "Otherwise, why would I keep him around?"

"Eunuch Li is so old, how can he stand here with His Majesty for so long?" Su Minglang seemed surprised as if he had guessed the wrong answer. "You can either replace him with a palace maid or a eunuch or something like that?"

"Isn't there a little eunuch following Eunuch Li? What's his name?" Su Minglang frowned in distress. "Oh, right! Xiao Xizi, he's called Xiao Xizi, right?"

"It's a festive name."

"Well, I have some impression of that boy, but he is too young." Li Peidong stretched out his hand and gently lifted Su Minglang's chin. "If my beloved concubine is reluctant to part with Li Peidong, why don't you grind ink for me in the future?"

"Your Majesty!" Su Minglang groaned coquettishly, and then gently pressed her cheek against his chest, "If I could be with Your Majesty every day, I would naturally be more than happy."

"How can I let you get away with it?" Xiao Heng tapped her forehead lightly, his previous annoyance long gone.

"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"

"Can't I just be thinking about Your Majesty?" Su Minglang asked with dissatisfaction.

"I don't know you yet? You don't come to me for no reason." Xiao Heng glared at her in dissatisfaction, "Didn't you come to me for something last time?"

"Then your majesty has wronged me this time!" Su Minglang's face was full of surprise and she stood up from Xiao Heng's arms. "I came here today to ask your majesty for some news."

"Ask for news? What news?"

"That's right, that's right..." Su Minglang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and asked, "It's the matter that Lord Li has been investigating these days!"

"Master Li?" Xiao Heng took a moment to realize who Su Minglang was referring to as Master Li. "Are you talking about Li Zhao?"

"You want to ask about the matter of buying and selling palace maids, right?" Xiao Heng asked puzzledly, "Why are you asking about this?"

"Actually, I didn't want to ask!" Su Minglang said anxiously, "I also know my identity and dare not ask about your majesty's affairs casually, but, but..."

"But what? Tell me honestly, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Xiao Heng frowned and looked at her suspiciously.

"No, no!" Su Minglang waved her hands hastily, "How could I do such a thing!"

"Besides, I have only been in the palace for a few days. How can I possibly send someone to the palace?"

"I just..." Su Minglang looked at Xiao Heng's expression tentatively, and when she saw that his expression had eased, she spoke up, "It was a few days ago that I went to the Queen Mother to discuss the pending items of praying for blessings, but I never expected to run into Lord Li who also came to the Queen Mother for help."

"When Lord Li mentioned this to the Empress, the Empress did not let me leave, so I got a rough idea of ​​what happened."

"I have been thinking about how this matter will be resolved in the past few days since I returned. I even went to Kunning Palace under the pretext of praying for blessings. I just didn't expect that the Queen..."

When Xiao Heng heard her mention Empress Wen, his tone instantly turned cold: "Are you here to plead for the Empress?"

"How could that be?" Su Minglang obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question. "Although I don't know what the Queen did wrong, but she is the Queen, and His Majesty would punish her like this, it must be that the Queen did something wrong. I think His Majesty has his own rules for doing things. Although I am terrified, I will never question His Majesty's decision!"

She cleverly used "wouldn't" instead of "dare not", which showed that she sincerely felt that she shouldn't question Xiao Heng's decision, rather than being afraid of his status and position and not daring to question him.

When Xiao Heng heard her say this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Su Minglang did not come for the queen, Xiao Heng seemed to be relieved. "I am very pleased that you think so."

"I am your majesty's concubine, so naturally I should put your majesty first." Su Minglang smiled softly and stroked his chest, "I only hope that no matter what happens, your majesty will not get angry and hurt himself."

"I understand." Xiao Heng held her hand, "Go on, what do you want to know?"

"In fact, I just want to know how this matter was finally handled." Su Minglang paused and said with some worry: "In fact, this matter is no longer a secret in the harem, and each palace has many speculations about it."

"But I don't want to listen to their speculations, and I'm really curious about the result. I can't get through to the Queen, so I have no other choice but to come to you with all my courage."

"You are so brave! You know that this matter is not your business, but you still dare to ask me!" Xiao Heng pretended to be angry and tapped her forehead, "But the outcome of this matter is hard to say at the moment."

"Li Zhao hasn't investigated the matter thoroughly yet. It seems that there are more than just a few commoners involved in this matter."

"You mean someone has reached into the harem?" Su Minglang asked suspiciously, "How could that be? Don't we have to do all kinds of investigations before entering the palace?"

"That's why I attach great importance to this matter." Xiao Heng nodded and said seriously, "If someone can really break through the layers of checkpoints and attack my harem, then I will have to pay attention to it."

"Then how will Your Majesty deal with those palace maids?" Su Minglang asked with some concern: "Could there be someone with evil intentions among them?"
