The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

On the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month, the news of the Northern Dynasty's enthronement of the Crown Prince spread almost everywhere in the Northern Dynasty.

The people were all surprised to hear this, because the current emperor has been on the throne for less than ten years and is just thirty years old.

It can be said that he is young and strong, and he still has decades to abdicate. The sudden enthronement of the crown prince has made the people start to imagine.

Everyone was speculating whether something serious had happened to the current emperor and that he had to appoint a crown prince early just in case.

However, Gu Junshen had anticipated this, and soon the news of a great victory in the war in the Northern Territory spread like wildfire among the people, moving the common people and dispelling their previous suspicions about Gu Junshen. They all began to support him.

Originally, in order to consolidate the country's power and boost the morale of the troops fighting in the far north, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty appointed the prince to stabilize the country and also to consolidate the military's determination to fight the war.

This move was a necessary one for the sake of the world, and it is truly touching.

For a time, Gu Junshen's status among the people gradually improved, and the border towns that had originally been dissatisfied with him also loved him very much at this time.

The most enthusiastic among them were the people in the towns and cities who were treated by Gu Junshen's imperial physicians and many medical resources. They all praised Gu Junshen as a wise ruler of the time.

……

Anyang City, Turin Town.

It is surrounded by mountains, green trees and flowing rivers. What is more surprising is that this place is as developed as the towns near the imperial palace.

On both sides of the street, shops are lined up with their roofs connected to each other, arranged in an orderly manner, showing a unique kind of order and prosperity.

There was a hustle and bustle of traffic, with all kinds of vehicles shuttling back and forth, carrying goods or passengers, raising clouds of dust but also bringing the scent of life.

At this time, Lord Li, who was dressed in ordinary merchant's clothes, was hesitating and pacing back and forth in front of a courtyard.

In order to come in person and not attract attention, he took off the crimson official uniform which he rarely took off on weekdays.

It is a symbol of his career and a portrayal of his life.

The clothes he wore now were for the purpose of advancing his career further and with a clear conscience.

"Have you confirmed that this family is the one that General Qin bullied women with?"

Lord Li once again asked his subordinate who was bending over with a respectful look on his face and specialized in private investigations.

The man said confidently, "Don't worry, sir. I have confirmed it several times. That person is the one General Qin bullied. No, it's the woman and her family who wrongly accused General Qin."

"But is there any proof?"

When Lord Li first heard that the woman and her family had been found, he was extremely skeptical. After all, with Qin Chenyang going to prison, no news about their family had been heard since then. If he hadn't found some words in the archives of previous years, they would have disappeared.

I'm afraid I don't know when I'll find it.

Maybe Qin Chenyang was not destined to die. After all, General Qin fought bravely for the people and the army. He was unstoppable and had made many great achievements. Unfortunately, the results he achieved in the end were very small and it seemed that all his fame was taken away.

At that time, he was just an official who had just entered the official career for a few years and knew relatively little about such matters.

Thinking about it now, perhaps Qin Chenyang’s being framed and imprisoned was far more than just bullying women and tarnishing the reputation of the army.

It seemed as if all his military merits and achievements were suppressed inexplicably, becoming a stepping stone for others...

A week ago, his subordinates, whom he had sent to investigate for several months, suddenly came to him and vowed that they had found the family.

After hearing this, he was overjoyed. He finally got a response to the current imperial concubine's instructions.

Just to avoid alerting the enemy, he planned to report it only after he actually found the person. If that family was not the woman's family, he would be lying to the imperial concubine.

This is a serious sin.

However, the place where this family lived was very interesting. They were actually located in the opposite direction of the Northern Dynasty's imperial palace, as if it was done intentionally.

How strange.

"Proof? I wonder if the names of all the Madam's family members are proof?"

The subordinate smiled and answered casually.

"Are you saying that the lives of all the people in this family are exactly the same as those of that family back then?"

After hearing this, Lord Li's eyes showed some joy. If that was the case, there was an 80% chance that it was that family. After all, the place where this family lived had some obscure guidance.

There should be no two families in the world whose entire family has the same name.

Then Lord Li and his subordinates walked to the house and knocked gently on the door.

This family undoubtedly lives better than the Zhou people. They all live in single-family courtyards, but they are not big. Only one courtyard is relatively large. The building inside is two-story and made entirely of wood, with an antique style.

Seeing that no one came to open the door, he knocked several more times.

Still no one responded.

"Sir, this shouldn't be the case. A few days ago, I pretended to pass by and asked for water. Their whole family was there. Perhaps they are all out today."

After hearing this, Lord Li's expression did not look very good and gradually became gloomy.

He would not believe that his subordinates would lie to him. The only possibility was that the family already knew someone was coming, so they ran away in advance.

"Next time don't alert the enemy. You'll scare them away."

Lord Li was speechless. Why did you go into someone's yard to ask for water to drink and find out the situation?

It was very strange. Among so many families around, he chose the most remote and smallest one, and even wore beautiful clothes.

It can be seen that the other person deliberately entertained you in order to find out the situation.

"How were you dressed?"

"This is how I dress today."

Lord Li took a glance and immediately felt dizzy, as he felt that his subordinate's clothes were more luxurious than his current merchant family.

He felt like he was going to die of anger.

Just when he thought he would return empty-handed today, he saw a woman walking out from the backyard path. She was wearing a light blue gauze skirt and a white gauze scarf on her face, but her eyes were particularly beautiful. Lord Li looked at her from a distance and estimated that she was a stunning beauty.

A white hairpin holds the bun on her head, leaving only the hair at the back of her head hanging down naturally, and tied with a white cloth strip.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew off the veil on the woman's face, revealing a face with three conspicuous white scars. The wounds had already scabbed over, leaving obvious knife marks.

"What kind of madman could be so cruel as to make such a beautiful woman look so mutilated?"

Lord Li beat his chest and stamped his feet. The subordinates beside him also changed from being full of surprise to full of disgust.

"How ugly! She's actually an ugly woman!"

The subordinate's voice was not loud, but Lord Li heard it particularly clearly, which made him feel a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his subordinate was such a rude person.

It's really hateful.

"Who are you!"
