Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

In the middle of the night, the moonlight shines through the curtains onto the ground.

Chuqi held a stack of confessions in his hand and knocked softly on the door of King Xuan and Shen Jingyi.

Three "knock, knock, knock" sounds seemed to break the silence of the night.

When King Xuan heard the knock on the door, he immediately opened his eyes without a trace of sleepiness in them.

He stood up quietly, afraid of waking up Shen Jingyi beside him.

However, Shen Jingyi still rubbed his eyes and sat up, mumbling: "Is Chuqi back?"

King Xuan replied gently, "It should be. You continue to sleep! I will go and take a look."

Shen Jingyi shook her head: "No, I've always been thinking about those children and want to know the results first."

King Xuan knew that she was a bit stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade her. He just said distressedly: "Then wear more clothes, don't catch a cold."

Shen Jingyi nodded obediently and quickly put on a coat.

King Xuan waited until she had put on her clothes before opening the door.

The door opened gently, and faint candlelight shone through the room. Chuqi respectfully handed over a few pieces of paper.

"Your Majesty, these are the confessions of those men."

King Xuan took the paper and read it one by one before looking up and asking, "How are those children doing now?"

Chuqi replied: "The children are fine, just a little frightened. They have been rescued safely and are currently being placed in the inn."

After hearing this, King Xuan turned to look at Shen Jingyi and said with a smile: "You can rest assured this time."

Shen Jingyi smiled back and nodded, "Well, I'm relieved."

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Then, Shen Jingyi thought of the culprit again, so she asked again: "How should we deal with Xiong Tianchen?"

King Xuan chuckled, but his eyes revealed coldness.

"With these confessions, of course we have to arrest him and interrogate him first."

As he spoke, he shook the paper in his hand.

Chuqi was also a smart guy. After hearing King Xuan's words, he immediately understood and said, "Then I will go and quietly capture Xiong Tianchen first?"

King Xuan nodded slightly to show his agreement, and at the same time reminded: "Go, but be careful."

Chu Qi grinned and replied, "Okay, I understand."

Then he turned around and strode out of the room.

With just a few jumps, he disappeared into the distance. His speed was amazing.

Shen Jingyi was once again attracted by the scene in front of her and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

King Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her cute appearance: "Okay, stop looking and let's go to sleep, otherwise the child will be dissatisfied."

After saying that, he gently closed the door, took Shen Jingyi's hand, and slowly walked to the bed.

"Don't worry, he won't dare do anything to me. If he really irritates me, I'll spank him after he's born."

Shen Jingyi said very proudly.

King Xuan laughed disapprovingly: "Haha, are you trying to scare him now?

But how do you know he will be afraid? Maybe he is more powerful than you! "

"Humph, he dares! If he dares to disobey, I will definitely teach him a lesson when he comes out."

Shen Jingyi pouted and said in an angry tone.

Seeing this, King Xuan patted her shoulder gently and said gently: "Okay, don't be angry. The child hasn't been born yet. If you are so harsh, it will scare him."

Shen Jingyi thought so too, so she said, "Okay! Then I won't scare him, let's go to sleep!"

King Xuan took off Shen Jingyi's coat and helped her lie down on the bed carefully.

Now King Xuan is very adept at serving Shen Jingyi.

To be honest, if someone had told him before that he would be careful in serving a woman in the future, she would definitely have sneered.

Who could have thought that he would end up like this!

next morning

Shen Jingyi and King Xuan were having breakfast.

Chuwu hurried in with a complicated expression on his face.

As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I discovered some secrets while investigating the county magistrate's mansion last night."

When Shen Jingyi heard this, she immediately became interested and even put down the chopsticks in her hand, eager to hear what was to come.

Unexpectedly, King Xuan refused and personally served her a bowl of porridge and asked her to continue eating.

There was nothing I could do but lower my head silently, pick up my chopsticks again, and eat slowly.

But her ears were perked up, waiting attentively for Chuwu's story.

"Speak!" King Xuan said lightly.

"I have found out that there was a secret between the county magistrate's concubine and her teacher.

Moreover, the county magistrate’s youngest son is most likely her illegitimate child with her teacher.”

"Master?" Shen Jingyi opened his mouth in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face.

But soon, she realized her gaffe, and quickly restrained her expression and became serious.

Chuwu nodded, "Yes."

Then he continued, "Back then, Xiong Haibo was just a scholar, and in order to curry favor with the county magistrate, he offered his cousin to the magistrate.

The county magistrate also loved his cousin very much and even doted on her for a time.

Later she became pregnant and the child was born eight months later.

It was announced to the public that it was a premature birth, and that the baby was pushed by an unpopular concubine at the time.

Later, the concubine was beaten with twenty boards and caught a cold. She died a few days later.

Before she died, she was still shouting that she was wronged and that her child was premature and had problems.

After listening to this, Shen Jingyi concluded: "She created the illusion of a premature birth due to a fall, causing everyone to think that the child was a premature baby, but in fact, she was born at full term."

King Xuan glanced at Chuwu and said, "Where's the evidence? Words alone won't do."

Chuwu continued confidently: "My Lord, this is just a coincidence.

When Zhou was framing the concubine, there happened to be a young maid who had just entered the mansion picking flowers in the bushes and saw the whole process.

She hid among the flowers and dared not make a sound.

I witnessed with my own eyes that Zhou deliberately bumped the concubine with her shoulder, then pretended to fall to the ground and shouted loudly that her stomach hurt.

Later, after the concubine died, the little maid was afraid and asked her family to redeem her.

It was a coincidence that when Chunliu and I sent the little boy home, we wanted to ask his family about the matters between the county government and the lawyer's family.

Unexpectedly, the little boy's mother told us that there was an aunt living next door to their house who once worked in the prefect's house.

So we invited this lady over to ask her.

At first she didn't dare to say it until her subordinates promised to give her five taels of silver if the information was useful.

She then told this story, and she also said that she dared to go out from the flowers only after everyone had left, and then she saw a puddle of water on the ground.

Later, after she got married and had children, she realized that it was amniotic fluid. "

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi said thoughtfully: "It seems that she came out to find a scapegoat. Whoever she met would be the unlucky one."

Then he thought of something and said gloatingly, "It seems that this is almost certain. Miss Gao is also unlucky. Not only did she marry a bastard, but this time she married a child born out of wedlock. Who knows what will happen in the future!"
