The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

"Be quiet! Don't disturb the princess' sleep." Gu Junshen, perhaps unable to bear Wang and Xiang's yelling, immediately scolded them.

"Your Majesty!" Wang called out softly, somewhat aggrieved.

Xiang Yihan just closed his mouth, with some fear in his eyes.

At this point, all the existing evidence points to her. If she can't come up with something to prove herself, she's afraid she'll end up badly.

Song Nanxiang was lost in thought as she watched Gu Junshen thinking quietly.

It had been half a month since she entered the palace, but this was the first time she had seen the emperor, whom everyone admired, at such a close distance.

Under the candlelight at night, Gu Junshen's face exuded a faint halo, his eyes were a little cold, as if he was thinking about something, he had thin and long single phoenix eyes, and under his high nose bridge were two thin lips with pride.

If it was stunning when you first saw it, then when you see it again, it has an imperial edge.

Perhaps when people are doing things seriously, they always exude a kind of charm intentionally or unintentionally, making them particularly charming in the eyes of others.

Xiang Yihan was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. It was unclear whether he was tired or what, and he lowered his head with a dull look in his eyes.

"These few people stay, and the rest can go." Gu Junshen said to Eunuch Liu.

"I obey your command!" Eunuch Liu leaned over and responded.

"You palace maids and eunuchs who sweep the lotus pond can leave now."

After a while, Chengqian Palace became much quieter.

"You said that the noble lady ordered you to do so. Do you have any evidence? If you wrongly accuse any of my concubines, you will be sentenced to death." Gu Junshen threatened in a stern tone.

"I dare not lie. Here is the silver that Mr. Xiang gave to me. This purse must belong to Mr. Xiang." Xiao Linzi said while kneeling on the ground with certainty.

"Oh? Let's take a look."

Xiao Linzi took out an exquisite purse from the lining of his clothes. It was bulging and seemed to contain a lot of silver.

Gu Junshen's eyes darkened when he saw this. He weighed it carefully and found it was not light.

"Is this purse yours?" Gu Junshen held up the purse and turned to look at Xiang Yihan.

When Xiang Yihan saw the hebao, his face suddenly turned pale, and his head stood still in the air as if it had been struck by lightning.

"Your Majesty, it must be this slave who stole my purse and then framed me." Xiang Yihan seemed to understand something and pointed at Qingzhu and said viciously.

Song Nanxiang stood aside holding the heater and watched the show, thinking it was extremely exciting.

"It would be nice if we had another plate of melon seeds." She sighed inwardly.

It seems that Xiang is not stupid after all. She finally figured out that someone was trying to harm her.

But will it be too late?

Hearing this, Gu Junshen seemed to understand something and stopped asking questions. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Linzi again.

"Which palace maid or eunuch from Zhongcui Palace is the one you are in contact with?"

Xiao Linzi kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! It's Qingzhu!"

"Qingzhu, is that you?" Gu Junshen asked Qingzhu with a dignified look on his face.

"It's a slave!"

"Who ordered you to do that?"

Hearing this, Qingzhu knelt on the ground, her mouth sealed as if unable to utter a complete sentence, "Your servant... Your servant..."

"Speak!" Gu Junshen threatened.

"Liu Sheng!" Gu Junshen said angrily.

"Come here. Put up the splint." Eunuch Liu waved his hand and ordered.

"It's the master Xiang!" Qingzhu said with a trembling voice.

"You slut. You actually colluded with outsiders to murder your master. I have been very kind to you." Hearing this, Xiang Yihan felt more and more uneasy, and she was about to attack Qingzhu.

"Master! Just admit it. It was you who asked me to find out where the princess likes to play, and asked me to feed the princess with cakes made with aconite!" Qingzhu kowtowed quickly on the ground.

"What are you talking about?" Xiang Yihan shouted at Qingzhu.

"Just admit it to the noble lord. Are you afraid to admit what you did?" Wang said in a cold voice.

"I didn't do it, why should I admit it?" Xiang Yihan retorted subconsciously.

"Do you still want to quibble in front of the emperor?"

At this time, the person sent by the emperor to investigate the medicinal materials files of the Imperial Medical Institute also returned.

The man said, "Your Majesty, I checked the files of the Imperial Medical Office. I found that someone spent several taels of aconite the day before yesterday. The name on the file is Qingzhu from Zhongcui Palace."

Hearing this, Gu Junshen still frowned in some embarrassment.

All the evidence points to one person being too simplistic.

He had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple, but the evidence was right in front of him.

Song Nanxiang sneered in her heart, thinking that it would be too stupid to do the same thing as Xiang Yihan.

The person behind this probably has spies all over the palace, and he must be a concubine with high status and power.

A figure suddenly appeared in Nanxiang's mind.

"Could it be her?"

When Song Nanxiang was panicking, Gu Jun looked at her with deep eyes and said calmly, "My beloved, are you feeling better?"

Nan Xiang came back to her senses, bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I am almost fully recovered. I will be fully recovered in two days at most."

Hearing this, Gu Junshen nodded.

"Then you should go back first. Don't go out casually until you are well again."

"I obey your order." Nan Xiang said shyly with a slightly red face.

Wang, who was standing next to her, looked a little unhappy when she saw this.

"Liu Sheng. Concubine Xiang has misbehaved and lost his morals. He is imprisoned in Zhongcui Palace and demoted to a concubine." Gu Junshen said to Eunuch Liu.

Seeing the two slaves kneeling on the ground, he spoke again, "These two slaves are also traitors. Give them twenty strokes of the cane and send them to the Ministry of Punishment."

Xiang Yihan broke down upon hearing this and kept kowtowed to the floor. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Your Majesty!" Xiang Yihan was about to say something when she was pulled away by the eunuch.

Qingzhu and Xiaolinzi seemed to have anticipated the ending long ago, and they knelt on the ground and let the eunuchs take them away.

Seeing this, Nanxiang didn't want to stay any longer, so she bowed to the imperial concubine next to her and said, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, I have finished the rules for women and women's training that you asked me to copy. I will have the servants deliver it to you tomorrow. I will take my leave now."

"Oh? I didn't expect that Concubine Song still remembered this matter." Wang snorted and laughed.

"I dare not forget. After all, it was my fault. I offended the imperial concubine." Song Nanxiang said lightly, with neither joy nor anger in her tone, and she emphasized the word "offended".

"Hmph!" Wang glared at Song Nanxiang indifferently.

The emperor hasn't left yet, and she can't leave a bad impression on him.

"Your Majesty. I'll take my leave now." Nan Xiang said as she walked towards the door.

"It's dark and the road is slippery. Liu Sheng, send someone to escort Concubine Song." Upon hearing this, Gu Junshen said to Eunuch Liu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nan Xiang turned her head and smiled faintly, giving Gu Junshen a glance back.

Gu Junshen looked at Nanxiang's back as she walked away, and suddenly felt empty in his heart.
