When the young lady saw that His Majesty was looking at her intently, her face flushed with shyness, and she said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report this bracelet, which was given to me by my late mother. I cannot bear to damage it..."

Nangong Qinghe said coldly: "Yinjiu."

Yin Jiu, who was standing solemnly behind him, stepped forward and moved as fast as lightning. With a "click", the bracelet broke into two pieces and fell into his palm.

The concubine screamed and her face turned pale in an instant.

"Since the Queen has given her order, you should obey it."

Nangong Qinghe's face was indifferent, "Go and check how this thing was smuggled into the palace."

The concubines entering the palace were strictly checked. How did she sneak in with a bracelet clearly visible on her wrist?

"Yes!" Yin Jiu responded.

Nangong Qinghe led Yuanbao and the others and turned to leave. The ladies looked terrified and prostrated themselves on the ground, saying, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Yin Jiu turned to the young lady sitting on the ground and said coldly, "Young lady, please come with us."

The concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale and she trembled all over. She cried out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I, I cannot live without this bracelet..."

Yin Jiu waved his hand, and two secret guards suddenly appeared, blocked the girl's mouth, and dragged her away.

The concubines were trembling with fear.

They saw that this emperor was gentle and polite, but they didn't expect that he could be so ruthless and decisive!

The elders in my family are right. In this harem, one is like walking on thin ice and cannot take even a single wrong step!

Nangong Qinghe had a stern face and went straight to Fengyi Palace.

Zhang Wanwan came out and saw that he looked unhappy. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Nangong Qinghe dismissed his attendants and told her everything that had just happened in Chuxiu Palace.

Zhang Wanwan said angrily: "Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed!"

It's obvious that he doesn't take her, the Empress Dowager, seriously!

Empress Dowager Zhang and Duke Zhenguo died one after another, the Zhang family declined, and she had no children, so the Imperial Household Department gradually looked down on her.

"I asked Yin Jiu to give them a good beating."

Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of the beauty's eyes that looked exactly like Jiang Li's.

Naturally, he also heard the rumor. Many families who had daughters to choose from secretly sought out the portrait of Prince Jing'an and asked their daughters to imitate her every move, smile, word and action.

In his heart, Ahri is like the snow in the sky and the moon in the clouds. Even if he can't get her, he won't find a substitute!

This is a blasphemy against A-li!

"Among all the girls, if there are any who look like Prince Jing'an, or who deliberately imitate Prince Jing'an, they will all be dismissed!"

"I obey your command!" Zhang Wanwan smiled.

Nangong Qinghe is so clear-headed that she doesn't have to worry about anyone seducing her master.

Yinjiu quickly found out the background of the beautiful girl. Ms. Yun was sixteen years old and was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Her father was the co-magistrate of Jiaxing Prefecture and her mother died early.

When he interrogated the eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was in charge of checking the concubines, he confessed that the woman's words were pitiful. She said that she couldn't take off the bracelet, and it was the only thought left to her by her deceased mother, so she couldn't bear to damage it.

He saw that this girl was somewhat similar to Prince Jing'an, and thought that she would be favored in the future, so he wanted to do her a favor.

After reading the confession, Nangong Qinghe was so angry that he laughed. Did these people think that Ah Li was his weakness? They actually wanted to use this to control him!

No, A'li will not only not become his weak point, but will also be his strongest backing!

Zhang Wanwan issued an imperial decree, depriving Yun of her qualification to be a candidate for a concubine and expelling her from the palace.

The eunuch from the Imperial Household Department was also taken to the Eastern Depot by Yin Jiu to be dealt with.

Unexpectedly, something happened.

The next day, Jiang Li had just gotten up and was having breakfast with the twins when Mingyue came to announce, "Eunuch Nine is here!"

Jiang Li was a little surprised. Why did Yin Jiu come to look for her so early in the morning?

"Please come quickly!"

Yinjiu strode in.

"Brother Yinjiu, let's have dinner together." Jiang Li said with a smile.

He also told the twins, "Stay with me and say hello to Uncle Yinjiu."

Xie Buli and Xie Buqi climbed down from the chair and bowed to Yin Jiu obediently: "Hello, Uncle Yin Jiu!"

When Yin Jiu saw this pair of beautiful twins, who were so well-behaved and lovely, his heart melted and he beamed with joy: "Little county lady, little prince, you are so kind to us!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Yinjiu, you deserve this gift."

If it weren't for Yinjiu, she and Xie Changan wouldn't have been so successful back then. It was all thanks to Yinjiu who always kept them safe!

When Yinjiu thought about the past, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, but he didn't come here to reminisce about the past today.

"Xiao Shiliu, something happened!"

Jiang Li was shocked and asked Zhen'er and Zhu'er to serve the twins while she took Yinjiu to the study.

Yin Jiu frowned: "A concubine died!"

It was the Yun whose eyes looked exactly like Jiang Li!

After she was expelled from the palace, she returned to the inn crying.

In the early hours of the morning, the personal nanny and the maid discovered that Yun was dead in the room!

"Yun secretly brought a gold and jade bracelet into the palace, so the Queen Mother disqualified her from being a candidate for the imperial concubine and expelled her from the palace."

Jiang Li was surprised: "Didn't the eunuchs check me carefully when I entered the palace?"

Yin Jiu looked puzzled: "The eunuch confessed that he saw that Yun looked a bit like you, so he sold her out as a favor."

Jiang Li's face darkened, and he asked again: "What was the cause of death?"

Yin Jiu had a strange expression on his face: "There is not a drop of blood left in the body! What's weird is that there is not even a trace of blood at the scene, it's as if he was sucked to death by some ghost!"

Jiang Li was startled: "Mammy and maid, did you hear anything?"

"I heard nothing. They only said that Yun cried for half the night and went to bed after being comforted by them. In the early morning, a maid got up and found Yun half exposed outside the bed. She was already dead!"

Jiang Li frowned and said, "Where is the body? I'll go check it out."

Yin Jiu said: "It was transported to the East Factory."

Jiang Li stood up: "Let's go and take a look."

She then ordered, "Mingyue, take my warrant and go to Longmen Medical Bureau to get a female doctor."

For some private parts, it is better to let the female doctor check them carefully.

Mingyue took the order and left.

Jiang Li changed into official uniform and went to the East Factory with Yin Jiu.

The female doctor from Longmen Medical Bureau has also arrived.

They came to the room where Yun's body was placed.

The woman had a pretty face, but her face was pale, and her exposed hands were completely bloodless.

"Brother Yinjiu, you go out first."

Yin Jiu followed instructions and walked out, closing the door.

Jiang Li asked the female doctor to remove Yun's clothes and carefully check for any external injuries.

After carefully examining the man from head to toe, the female doctor finally found a small red dot on the back of his neck, which was suspected to be a bug bite.

"Bugs?" Jiang Li asked curiously, "What kind of bug can suck all the blood in the body?"

She suddenly remembered something, "Love Gu!"

Back then, Chu Feixue wanted to plant the "love poison" in Xie Changan, but as soon as the poison entered his body, it was killed by the Heart Contract.

The love Gu was fed by Chu Feixue using her blood. This was a low-level Gu technique that would kill one thousand enemies but injure eight hundred of its own. One day, the Gu would suck all of her blood.

It is very likely that Yun had all his blood sucked out by this "love poison", which is why he died silently!
