The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

But... Concubine Sheng now doesn’t know whether this jade pendant is hers or not.

"Your Majesty, I don't recognize this jade pendant." Concubine Sheng stood up and said.

Regardless of whether this jade pendant is hers or not, she cannot recognize it now. This jade pendant must have nothing to do with her.

"Lady Ning, when did you see it?" Shangguan Yan asked.

"Replying to the Queen, it should be last month."

Fengyi Palace suddenly became quiet. Now that the person was dead, there was no evidence. The husband had his own reasons and the wife had her own reasons. It all depended on their mouths.

"Since you don't know, let me tell you." Lu Junze sneered, "Song Shi, bring the person in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Song Shi went out and soon brought another eunuch in.

When she saw this eunuch, Concubine Sheng was really panicked. No wonder she had been looking for him for so long but couldn’t find him. It turned out that he was controlled by the emperor.

"This person..." Lu Junze's eyes swept across the concubines, and finally stopped at Concubine Sheng, "Does Concubine Sheng know him?"

Concubine Sheng knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I know him. He is a eunuch in my palace."

"It's good that he knows her." Lu Junze nodded. "Since he knows her, then Concubine Sheng, can you tell me why he went to Ningyu Pavilion to drug Concubine Jin?"

"What?" Concubine Sheng looked up in surprise and looked at Lu Junze, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything."

"This eunuch hasn't come back in the past few days. I asked someone to look for him, but he hasn't been found yet."

"I have also told Lady Lan."

Concubine Lan was called to the back and nodded expressionlessly, saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng did tell me that a eunuch was missing from her palace."

"You say it yourself." Lu Junze looked at the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Sheng who asked me to deliver the ice to Ningyu Pavilion. I was just following orders. Please spare my life, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty," Concubine Sheng was so anxious that she began to reveal her true identity. "Your Majesty, I am just a concubine. How can I get first-class ice?"

Lu Junze smiled, and looked at Concubine Sheng with a cold gaze. He asked, "How did Concubine Sheng know it was ice? How did she know it was first-class ice?"

The fact that someone sent ice to Ningyu Pavilion to harm Gu Shijin was never told to the outside world, so it was normal for everyone not to know about it, not to mention that Concubine Sheng knew it so clearly.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Sheng's legs went limp and she sat down on the ground.

Lu Junze didn't even look at her, but turned his gaze to look at Concubine De.

"De Fei, you also know this little eunuch, right?"

"Your Majesty?" Defei's face was full of confusion, and it seemed like she really knew nothing.

"The Concubine De once saved this little eunuch's life. Have you forgotten it so quickly?"

Concubine De turned around and took a closer look at the young eunuch. "Your Majesty, I seem to have some impression of him."

"But I have no further contact with this person since then."

Defei was also shocked. It had been a long time since she saved the little eunuch, and she didn't expect that the emperor knew all this.

"What Concubine Sheng said just now makes sense. I would like to know too."

"Where did this eunuch get the first-class ice?"

The first-grade ice in the harem can only be used by concubines of the second rank and above unless the emperor grants special permission.

Concubine Sheng will definitely not be used.

Concubine De suddenly raised her head and looked at Lu Junze, her eyes full of disbelief, and said, "Your Majesty, you doubt me."

"You are worrying too much, Concubine De. I am just asking casually."

After Lu Junze said this, he no longer cared about Concubine De.

"Your Majesty, although Concubine Sheng is now suspected of harming Concubine Jin, no one knows where the strong liquor and first-grade ice came from. I'm afraid Concubine Sheng may have been wrongly accused." Shangguan Yan said.

"What the queen said makes sense." Lu Junze glanced at Song Shi, who understood and retreated. "We really can't wrongly accuse a good person."

This time Song Shi came back late and a small incident happened in the middle.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yang requests to see you." The eunuch outside came in to report.

"Talented Yang?" Lu Junze was a little confused. He really couldn't remember this person, but the person came in anyway.

"Your Majesty, Your ...

"Get up." Yang Cairen was wearing a pink palace dress and had delicate makeup on her face late at night. She looked like a real beauty.

This talented lady Yang lives next door to Ningyu Pavilion.

Gu Shijin once used the young eunuchs in her palace to do things for him.

Lu Junze didn't say anything, so Shangguan Yan asked, "Is there something wrong with Yang Cairen?"

"Your Majesty, I know where those liquors come from." Yang Cairen said shockingly, and all eyes were immediately shifted to her.

"Your Majesty, these strong liquors belong to Concubine Li."

There was no need for Lu Junze to ask, Yang Cairen just said it directly.

"Is there any evidence?"

"Have."

"Your Majesty, there are eunuchs in the palace who go outside the palace to buy things. Some time ago, my mother sent someone to bring me a letter, and I saw it with my own eyes when I went to get the letter."

"I have loved drinking since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the taste of wine."

"And I also know that eunuch, he is Xiao Liuzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Ever since Concubine Yang came, Li Guipin's eyelids have been twitching wildly. She never expected that it really had something to do with her in the end.

"Go and tell Xiao Liuzi."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Deyuan was also confused. How come this matter became more and more involved?

"Mother, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first." Lu Junze looked at the queen mother and said.

"That's fine, I'm fine here." The Queen Mother nodded and stood up.

"Yunhua, send the Queen Mother back for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Xiao Liuzi didn't know what happened before he came. After he arrived, he told Lu Junze everything when he asked him. He did bring four jars of strong liquor to Li Guipin.

He had a deep impression of this incident because there were originally five jars of wine, but an accident happened on the way and one of the jars was broken, leaving only four jars.

When he came back, he was very worried, afraid that Li Guipin would cause trouble for him. Fortunately, Li Guipin didn't say anything later.

"Concubine Li?" Shangguan Yan looked at Concubine Li.

"My concubine... My concubine..."

Li Guipin was speechless because the wine had been used long ago and the purpose was not proper. She didn't dare to say anything now.

"Your Majesty, I did have someone bring some wine from outside the palace, but I drank all of it. I definitely didn't use it to harm anyone. Ningyu Pavilion's strong liquor has nothing to do with me."

Lu Junze did not expect Yang Cairen to appear, but it was not a bad thing.

Li Guipin was Defei's person, and the result was similar.

At this time, Song Shi also came back, bringing someone no one expected.

Princess.

"Lan'er, why are you here?" Shangguan Yan stood up unexpectedly.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother." The eldest princess bowed politely.

"Lan'er, come here." Lu Junze smiled and waved to the princess.
