The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Gu Junshen only heard the voice but did not see the person, and the elegant and otherworldly figure emerged in his mind.

But when he tried to recall the woman's appearance that day, it was only a blur.

His eyes followed the rustling sounds outside the door.

Then a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful figure appeared in front of him.

The person who came was wearing light blue clothes and a white fur cloak, and the only ornaments on his head were a few decent butterfly pearl hairpins and jewel hairpins.

There was no rouge or powder on her face, but it was so white and translucent that his heart couldn't help but tremble and he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Why are you here so late, my beloved concubine?" Gu Junshen coughed lightly, shook his sleeves, and spoke in a dignified manner with an indifferent tone.

When she arrived in front of the emperor, Song Nanxiang squatted down and said the words she had prepared on the way.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Song Nanxiang's eyes were filled with tears and her face was sad, making her already fair skin look a little pitiful.

Seeing this, Gu Junshen couldn't help but tremble in his heart and felt distressed.

"But what happened?" Gu Junshen frowned slightly and asked softly, as if he had already forgotten the interrogation of Xiang and others.

"Your Majesty. Ever since I caught a cold last time, I have been following the instructions of the imperial physician and taking some medicine to recuperate. Unexpectedly, when I took the medicine today, I felt that something was particularly wrong with it. Finally, I took a silver needle to test it and found that it was poisoned." Song Nanxiang said in a deep voice, and glanced at Wang halfway through.

At this time, Wang's face no longer had the beauty and elegance that she had when she first met her. Instead, she looked more dejected and her spirits did not seem good.

Song Nanxiang guessed that Wang must be worried about the princess.

Although she didn't know the princess's condition at the moment, she could still guess that it should be stable, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people here, interrogating a prisoner like an execution.

"Later, I began to interrogate the servants, and sure enough, I found evidence against them." Song Nanxiang continued.

"Oh? Who is it? How could he do such a wrong thing under the master's nose?" Gu Junshen frowned when he heard this. Thinking about what happened to the princess, the anger in his heart grew even more.

Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but look at Nanxiang, with an indescribable complicated feeling in her heart.

The princess was poisoned, and Song Changzai was almost poisoned as well? Was he trying to kill two birds with one stone? This person's mind was so vicious.

After listening to Nanxiang's story, Queen Chen's eyes darkened, and she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the handkerchief.

"Xiao Benzi, Xiao Chunzi, bring the person up." Nan Xiang gave the order casually.

I saw a young eunuch with delicate features, tied up and brought in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, it was this servant. He actually added extra seasonings while I was decocting medicine for me." Nanxiang spoke again.

"Great. Someone is so mean as to come before me." Gu Junshen looked at Xiao Linzi fiercely and made a gesture to Eunuch Liu.

Looking at the eunuchs coming over, the tied Xiao Linzi's eyes were full of panic. After a while, his body was loosened and the white cloth on his mouth was pulled out.

As soon as he was untied, Xiao Linzi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I know I was wrong! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Tell me, who ordered you to poison the master?" Gu Junshen scolded with a slightly angry tone.

"Slave... No one instructed me!" Xiao Linzi's whole body was shaking, and he said hurriedly and panickily.

"Liu Sheng." Gu Jun said in a deep voice, and the look he gave Xiao Linzi was enough to sentence him to death.

"Someone, come and get on the splint." Eunuch Liu ordered several eunuchs.

After a while, a eunuch came over with a splint.

Xiao Linzi was about to weaken completely, but the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't utter them.

Seeing the splint already on his hand, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please do not torture me. I will tell you everything I know." Xiao Linzi knelt down step by step and came to the emperor.

Song Nanxiang smiled faintly upon seeing this. This Xiao Linzi's acting was a bit fake.

He was still stubborn a moment ago, with determination in his eyes, but he admitted it the next moment.

Liu Sheng waved his hand gloomily and sent away the eunuch who was carrying out the torture.

"Tell me? Who is it?" Gu Junshen asked.

"It's Mr. Xiang!"

Xiao Linzi said this and then looked at Xiang who was kneeling on the ground looking extremely miserable.

His words made everyone present stunned.

Nanxiang also looked at Xiaolinzi with a puzzled look.

"Is this person really from the Xiang family?" Nan Xiang couldn't help but wonder.

But reason told her that it couldn't be the Xiang family.

She seriously suspected that it was one of the emperor's three high-ranking concubines, but the other party was hiding too well among the three.

Nanxiang has basically ruled out Wang, because the imperial concubine would not be stupid enough to poison her own child, which is her reliance for winning favor. Now she cannot be sure whether it is the queen or the virtuous concubine.

Her eyes glanced faintly at the virtuous concubine and the queen standing behind the emperor.

The virtuous concubine was dressed elegantly, and she looked extremely graceful standing under the moonlight and the snow. Her eyes were calm and she kept looking at the emperor.

There is a certain emotion and love in his eyes.

The queen's eyes were indifferent, with a few flashes of light in them, like a passerby watching a play, with no extra changes in her expression.

"To you, my lord?" Gu Junshen said angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little dog?" Xiang Yihan pointed at Xiao Linzi with a look of horror.

Looking at Gu Junshen’s extremely gloomy face, she knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, I am innocent! Someone must have framed me!”

Gu Junshen ignored her and looked at Song Nanxiang, "Do you know what kind of poison that is?"

"I don't know, but I have asked my servant to bring some remaining medicine. Please trouble the imperial physician to help." Nanxiang said lightly.

Even if she knew, she couldn't say it, she couldn't reveal any of her cards.

But at this time, Nanxiang had some guesses in her mind.

The mastermind behind this must have wanted to poison her, so that her plan would kill three birds with one stone: she was poisoned, the princess was poisoned, Xiang was falsely accused, and the person behind the scenes reaped the benefits.

However, the other party did not expect Nanxiang to find out, and almost disrupted his plan.

The imperial physician found out the result after a while.

He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this poison is the same as the one the princess was poisoned with. Both are poisons contained in aconite. Although I have prescribed some medicine for Concubine Song, these medicines are all tonics and nourishing medicines. They do not contain aconite at all."

"Liu Sheng, ask someone to check the medicinal material records of the Imperial Medical Clinic." Gu Jun thought for a moment and said.

"The slave obeys the order!"

"Okay. It turned out to be you, bitch! You actually sent someone to poison and murder someone. You have such a vicious heart!" Wang pointed at Xiang Yihan and cursed him viciously.

Gu Junshen's gaze towards Xiang Yihan also became a little colder.

At this moment, Xiang Yihan no longer had the arrogance she had before. Her makeup was smudged and her hair was a little messy, making her look like a pitiful and shabby puppy in the wind and snow.

She kept repeating, "Your Majesty, it's not me! I didn't do it!"

She never thought that entering the palace would be the beginning of her nightmare.
