Gu Junshen looked at the suicide note left by Xiang in his hand, his hands trembling and his brows furrowed. Although he was very reluctant to believe it, the suicide note that represented all the evidence of the crime was right in front of him, so what doubts could he raise?

He gently folded the suicide note and put it back into the envelope, then fell into deep thought again.

"Is it really her fault that Su got pregnant? But why? Is it because of jealousy?"

Of course, at this time he would not be so foolish as to believe the whole truth of the matter just because of a letter.

However, the letters also show Xiang's deep love and longing for her father, which does not sound fake.

However, with this letter, when the prime minister learns in the future that his beloved daughter has committed suicide, he will not be able to express unreasonable resentment towards him.

Moreover, this suicide note connects everything that happened together.

Xiang was jealous of Su's unborn child, so he arranged a trap and had someone throw musk, which is extremely harmful to women, into the potted plant he gave to Su, which eventually caused Su to miscarry. Later, Xiang felt deeply guilty for what he had done and felt that he had committed a serious sin, so he finally hanged himself to atone for his sin.

Liu Sheng looked at Gu Junshen's gradually trembling hands and couldn't help but become curious about the letter.

Of course, it's just curiosity.

"Liu Sheng! Let's leave the matter of Xiang's suicide and Su's miscarriage here!" Gu Junshen put the letter into the lining and said to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng was very confused when he heard this. Why didn't the emperor start an investigation after reading Xiang's suicide note?

Could it be?

As Liu Sheng thought about this, he felt that he had discovered an incredible secret and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

He immediately squatted down and said, "I obey your order!"

"Also, find all of Xiang's letters and other things and bring them to me."

"Yes!"

After Gu Junshen finished speaking, he walked towards the Yangxin Palace with a worried look on his face.

He also had to go back and write a letter to posthumously confer the title on Xiang, as well as come up with a reasonable explanation that would be useful in the court tomorrow morning.

Otherwise, if there is turmoil in the court, he will be the one to suffer.

Moreover, he could not be sure that the letter in his hand would calm the prime minister's anger.

However, Xiang's suicide would certainly cause an uproar in the court and would surely be widely spread among the people, so he had to resolve all these issues one by one.

……

Listen to Xuetang.

Since Su's miscarriage, all the potted plants in the yard were moved away and destroyed, making the yard look much emptier.

"My lady! I heard from outside that the child in your belly was framed by Xiang from Zhongcui Palace."

Lily came to the side of Su who was in a depressed mood and said in an angry tone.

"What? It's her? Why?"

When Su heard about the murderer who framed her child, there was a reaction of surprise and anger in her originally lifeless eyes.

She grabbed Lily's hands in a panic and cried, "Lily! Take me to the emperor quickly. We must make sure Xiang gets punished!"

Su knew that Xiang was of high birth, had the huge Xiang family behind him, and had a father who was the prime minister, so the emperor would definitely not be cruel to him.

But she didn't want to let Xiang go so easily, so she thought about asking the emperor for help.

Lily couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her young mistress's crazy appearance.

"My lady! Xiang has hanged herself! The body has already been processed."

Su's eyes widened when he heard this, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"She would hang herself? Would someone as proud as her hang herself?"

Although she is a little stupid and foolish, she can still figure out many things.

She had no hatred against the Xiang family, and they didn't even have any intersection, except for the time when the Emperor returned the jade intact to Zhao and she was sneered at by the Xiang family.

She clearly remembered Xiang's eyes at that time, which were filled with disdain and contempt...

Lily began to worry when she saw that her mistress fell into a daze again after hearing that Xiang had committed suicide.

Although Su has no children now, she has already held a position as a maid and lives in the main hall of the huge Tingxue Hall.

If something happened at this moment, she wouldn't be able to enjoy such a nice place.

And maybe the emperor would compensate Su, after all, the baby in her belly was killed by Xiang.

"My lady! You have to cheer up. You must not collapse at this time. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by Concubine Shu next door." Lily comforted softly.

She couldn't think of any words to comfort Su at this moment.

The child was killed, and even the hated murderer hanged himself.

One can only bear the sadness alone.

"Lily, I'm fine!" Su said with a sneer.

She laughed at herself for not even knowing the real murderer of her child, and laughed at herself for not being able to protect her child.

"My lady!" Lily looked at Su who started laughing again and felt that she was almost going crazy.

……

Wangyueju.

It was after having dinner at the hour of You that Nanxiang heard from Caiyun that Xiang was the murderer of Su's unborn child.

As soon as she heard it, she knew it was fake, and extremely fake.

This was just someone the people behind the scenes found to take the blame. Poor Xiang had not yet truly experienced the true beauty of the harem, but had experienced two of the dirty things in the harem.

Nanxiang couldn't help but think of the words she muttered inadvertently on the day of the palace selection: Such a domineering person will not live long even if he enters the palace.

Just as she expected, Xiang died after only staying in the palace for a few days.

"My lady! You don't seem surprised at all?"

Caiyun said this with a look of emotion, thinking that Nanxiang would have a big reaction.

But Nan Xiang's expression didn't change at all after hearing the news.

"Let's not discuss the Caiyu matter anymore. You should also tell the other people in Wangyueju not to discuss this matter casually." Nanxiang took a sip of fragrant tea and instructed in a slightly serious tone.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Caiyun was a little confused.

……

Jingren Palace.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen! May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Song Wanru squatted in front of Chen and half-knelt politely, not daring to overstep the mark in any way.

At this moment, her face was pale and her spirits were not good. She no longer had the high spirits she had two days ago.

Yuehua's teachings over the past two days, coupled with the shock of Su's being framed and Xiang's suicide, have made her gradually realize that it is difficult to survive in the harem without a backer. She also understands Song Nanxiang's current status in the harem. Apart from the empress and the virtuous concubines, she is the most important one in the harem.

She also began to adjust her current position in the harem, a powerless and low-ranking concubine.

She accidentally learned from Xiangcao that the child in Su's belly was the one the Queen got for Su's favor.

Her heart was moved when she heard this, and she came to Jingren Palace with the idea of ​​gaining the emperor's favor and conceiving a royal heir like Su.

Yesterday in front of Wangyueju, she suffered a great insult and was rejected by the emperor on the spot. She had lost a lot of face.

If you want to gain the emperor's favor, you still have to rely on the queen.

"How are you learning the rules?"

Chen looked at Song Wanru, who was squatting in front of her obediently, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.

After all, you have to go through some things to grow up.

She had already heard about how Song Wanru was disliked by the emperor in front of the Wangyue Palace yesterday.

However, she was so busy with Su's miscarriage and Xiang's suicide that she had no time to take care of it.

I never thought that Song Wanru would come to my door on her own initiative. I guess she must have figured it out.

"I have almost learned all the rules!"
