"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nan Xiang bit her lower lip tightly, looked at Gu Junshen with slightly red eyes and spoke softly.

When Gu Junshen saw Nan Xiang looking like she had been bullied, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

After all, he failed to protect her.

"I will arrange for an imperial physician to be on duty at Wangyueju from a chosen date. He will be able to respond if anything happens." Gu Junshen comforted him softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nanxiang slightly opened her red lips, with a delicate and pitiful look on her face.

Seeing this, Gu Junshen gently took Nan Xiang into his arms.

"Your Majesty! There are others!" Nan Xiang said softly.

"Turn around!" Gu Junshen said in a domineering tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around.

Then Nan Xiang said angrily, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

"Well! Tell me what happened?"

"This morning, the imperial kitchen suddenly sent me some newly developed pastries for me to taste, but I was not in the mood, so I asked the servants to handle it. Unexpectedly, the servants showed signs of poisoning after eating them, and even Aunt Ruolan, who tasted them, was poisoned. If I had eaten them at that time, the consequences would be disastrous!" A few strands of Nanxiang's hair were scattered in Gu Junshen's arms. Her face was as rosy as a peach, her lips were as red as blood, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"It's actually the imperial kitchen!" Gu Junshen's face changed from gloomy to bright, and there was a flash of disbelief in his eyes.

The imperial kitchen is responsible for the food of the harem. If something goes wrong here, it would be a big deal.

"Don't worry, my beloved, I will investigate it thoroughly!" Gu Junshen's eyes gradually became deep, and an unconcealable majesty and anger spread out.

"Liu Sheng! Gather all the people in the imperial kitchen. Interrogate them immediately to find out who developed the new cakes for Concubine Shu to taste today!"

"Yes!" Liu Sheng's face changed slightly when he heard that. He immediately walked out the door and called several eunuchs at the same time.

The emperor is angry.

It seems that there will be a major reshuffle in the imperial kitchen this time.

This imperial kitchen is really confused!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nan Xiang's face turned a little red when she saw this.

Gu Junshen finally did something, and it was worth it for her to get pregnant with his child.

"My beloved! Let's go back to the inner hall! It's windy outside, be careful not to catch a cold!" Gu Junshen said softly, and then he embraced Nanxiang and walked towards the inner hall.

It has been raining heavily since yesterday. Although the rain has stopped now, the ground is still wet.

The occasional breezes that blow are always a bit cool.

……

Jingren Palace.

When Queen Chen heard that two of Wangyueju's personal maids were poisoned in succession, her brows furrowed deeply.

No wonder the Queen Mother told her last time to be careful with every concubine in the harem, as they might be an extraordinary master.

The successive incidents of Su's miscarriage and someone in Wangyueju being poisoned made her believe the Queen Mother's words without a doubt.

In the end, she was too weak. There was such a ruthless character hidden in the harem.

"Caizhi! Send some supplements to Wangyueju." Chen said softly.

"Your Majesty! Aren't you going?" Caizhi asked.

"I won't go. After all, the emperor is already in Wangyueju. I won't go there to be just a decoration." Queen Chen waved her hand casually.

In the eyes of the emperor, she, the queen, is nothing but a figurehead. What difference does it make whether she goes or not?

As long as the intention is there, it's good enough.

"This slave knows it!"

……

Wangyueju.

Half an hour after taking the medicine, Ruolan and Caiyun woke up one after another.

The first thing that came to their mind when they opened their eyes was the safety of their queen Song Nanxiang.

After knowing that their queen was fine, the two of them finally rested and recovered from their illness.

"You! Didn't I tell you to deal with it?" Nanxiang said to Caiyun with a slightly angry look on her face.

Caiyun looked at the somewhat angry expression on Nanxiang's face and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"Empress! Caiyun was wrong! Caiyun will never be greedy again." Caiyun pouted, feeling a little scared.

If her mother had not rescued her in time, she might have lost her life.

"Oh, Your Majesty! Have you sent someone to arrest the people in the imperial kitchen? They must be trying to harm Your Majesty on purpose. They are jealous of Your Majesty's pregnancy." Caiyun said indignantly.

"The emperor has gone to interrogate on my behalf. But the roads were slippery due to the rain, and I was afraid something might happen so I didn't go with him." Nan Xiang said slowly.

A quarter of an hour ago, Liu Shengchuan said that he had gathered all the people in the imperial kitchen together, waiting for Gu Junshen to interrogate them. Nan Xiang wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Gu Junshen, who said that she believed him.

Nanxiang looked at the rainy day and the slippery ground, and nodded in agreement.

Now that she has lost two generals at once, she, as a general, should be cautious when leaving.

If a dog or a cat suddenly appeared from the alley, it would also be troublesome.

However, Nanxiang still ordered several eunuchs who had seen the imperial kitchen delivering food this morning to follow her.

As evidence.

……

An hour later, Gu Junshen arrived at Wangyueju with a few people behind him.

The people tied up behind him were the eunuchs who delivered cakes to Wangyueju this morning, and the eunuchs who made the cakes.

As he left, Nanxiang leaned over to his ear and told him to bring the people they had found to her.

Although Gu Junshen was confused, he still nodded in agreement.

As Liu Sheng went forward to report, Nanxiang walked out from the inner hall.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty!"

"My dear! I brought these people here for you." Gu Junshen said to Nan Xiang with a doting look in his eyes.

"I thank the emperor for doing justice for me!" Nan Xiang was delighted when she heard that.

"I wonder what my beloved concubine wants to do?" Gu Junshen asked with a puzzled look.

Nan Xiang looked calm and smiled at Gu Junshen, "Of course I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Your Majesty, please don't watch this kind of scene!"

Nan Xiang said as she pulled Gu Junshen to the inner hall, then glanced at the small notebook beside her.

Xiao Benzi understood what he meant, so he came to Liu Sheng and told him what Nan Xiang had said.

"Since it is the order of the Concubine Shu, I will definitely obey it!" Liu Sheng was surprised when he heard it, and nodded immediately.

Afterwards, these tied eunuchs from the imperial kitchen were taken by Xiao Benzi to the well in the backyard, where rewards had already been prepared by Nan Xiang.

Nan Xiang already knew who was behind this, and now she was just trying to show some signs to those people in the harem who were ready to make a move, otherwise she would appear too weak. By the way, she also let Xiao Benzi interrogate some things from these people.

Gu Junshen must have interrogated them, otherwise he would not have handed them over to Nanxiang.

However, Nanxiang still believed more what her people had learned from the interrogation.

She didn't know what she could get out of these people. After all, she had already been abandoned since they sent her the poisoned cakes.

After Xiao Benzi took these people to the well in the backyard, he asked someone to bring a bucket of pepper water and a splint torture device soaked in pepper water...

He first cut numerous wounds on these people, then poured pepper water on them and ordered people to wear splints.

Then I heard the painful screams from these people, but their mouths were blocked, and the wounds on their bodies and their eyes were irritated by the pepper spray, which made them feel very uncomfortable...

Then Xiaobenzi began the interrogation that Nanxiang had instructed...
