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

In the imperial study room.

The emperor sat at the desk, looking at the Prince Xuan who was standing respectfully below him, and asked, "Did the maid say anything when she died?"

King Xuan raised his head and glanced at both sides of the hall.

The emperor understood and waved his hand gently, signaling the eunuchs in the hall to leave.

After the eunuchs left, King Xuan spoke up, "When she died, she pointed to the southeast and said the word 'wisdom'."

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy. He slammed the table and smashed the teacup that the eunuch had just served him.

Southeast, Huifei's Yuehua Palace?

Do you think that I won't dare touch her because of her father and brother's military achievements?

She thought that because of her father and brother's military achievements, I wouldn't do anything to her, right?

Upon seeing this, King Xuan stepped forward and said, "Father, I think this matter is by no means simple.

It is impossible for them to send assassins to silence a palace maid just because they failed in their attempt to harm a concubine.

The maid must have known something, and they were worried that the secret would be leaked, so they carried out this assassination."

The emperor nodded and said in agreement: "You make sense. Do you have any direction for investigation?"

King Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "I think we can start with the pair of earrings."

The emperor nodded slightly, and then said: "Then I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes." King Xuan accepted the order.

This matter was part of his plan. Since anyone dared to hurt his wife and children, he would never let it go easily.

Now that my father has spoken, it is even more legitimate.

At this time, Zhang Desheng walked in and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xue Yang wants to see you."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Let him in."

Zhang Desheng responded and turned to leave.

Not long after, a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, tall and with a tough look, walked in.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

The emperor did not ask him to stand up, but asked directly: "Do you know why I want you to come?"

"Your Majesty, I have been informed. The eunuch who just delivered the decree has informed me of the situation."

The emperor's face darkened and he reprimanded, "How did you, the Imperial Guards, patrol? The assassin was already at home, and you didn't notice him."

Xue Yang muttered to himself: "Who made your house so big?"

But he remained respectful on the surface and replied, "I have failed in my duty. Your Majesty, please punish me. I will investigate the matter immediately."

The emperor had a cold face, his eyes flashing with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still investigating? Seal off the palace immediately and search the entire palace.

I'd like to see what else I can find out." His voice was low and stern, and he was obviously angry.

Xue Yang quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, I will do it right away."

After saying this, he quickly turned around and left the imperial study in a hurry.

King Xuan saw this and took the opportunity to say, "I will go back there too."

His tone was respectful yet a little cautious, as if he was afraid of angering the emperor.

The emperor nodded slightly and responded coldly: "Go."

Afterwards, King Xuan quietly left the palace, leaving the emperor sitting alone on the dragon throne with a frighteningly gloomy face.

When King Xuan returned to Concubine Shu's palace, it was already tidy and spotless.

The Concubine Shu sat at the top with a faint smile on her face, looking particularly gentle.

Chu Mengyao was standing behind Concubine Shu, gently kneading her shoulders with gentle and skillful movements.

Obviously, they were waiting for him to come back.

"You're back," Concubine Shu raised her head slightly, looked at King Xuan with gentle eyes as he strode in, and asked softly.

"Yes, mother," King Xuan replied with a nod.

Then he asked with concern: "The children haven't come back yet?"

"No, they are still playing in the Imperial Garden!"

Concubine Shu had a smile on her face and her eyes were full of doting.

"A few days ago, the emperor sent people to release a few peacocks there. Tingting loves them very much and plays there for a long time every day."

King Xuan nodded, then looked at Chu Mengyao and said, "Princess, go and bring the children back. It's getting late, and we should leave the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Mengyao responded obediently. She knew in her heart that King Xuan had something to say to Concubine Shu, so he deliberately sent her away!

So, she was tactful and took Mingwei with her when she left.

"Aunt Mingwei, I don't know where Peacock is. Can you show me the way?"

Ming smiled and agreed.

She smiled and followed Chu Mengyao out of the palace and went to the imperial garden to look for the children.
