The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Inside Zhengyang Palace, the confrontation between the emperor and the empress reached a stalemate.

The room full of hundreds of people was completely silent.

Chu He glanced at Mu Rong, who nodded his chin casually.

So Chu He stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, when I was searching Xiao Wei's room just now, I found another thing."

"Speak." The emperor said in a hoarse voice.

A palace maid was brought up by the imperial guards.

"This girl is a maid in the Queen's palace. She works in the outer courtyard with Xiao Wei every day. When I was searching and inspecting, I found that she seemed to be familiar with Xiao Wei, so I asked her one more question..."

"go on."

"According to this woman, Xiao Wei was indeed not on duty today, but he was not sleeping in the room as he said, but...his whereabouts are unknown." Chu He said in a deep voice and stepped aside.

The emperor sneered and glanced at the eunuch beside the queen: "Look, she is from the queen's palace?"

Eunuch Wang shuddered upon hearing this, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Your Majesty, this person is indeed a maid working in the outer courtyard."

When the emperor saw that he had acknowledged her, he looked at the maid and said, "Tell me what you saw and heard in the Queen's palace today!"

The maid knelt down and kowtowed, and reported politely: "Your Majesty... Xiao Wei and I are from the same hometown, and we get along better than others. Today, someone from the hometown sent some things to the palace, including clothes of Eunuch Xiao Wei... I took the things and delivered them to him during the afternoon break, but he was not in the room, so I had to put the things on his bed and left."

Chu He continued, "When I led the imperial guards to search just now, there were indeed clothes sent from outside the palace on Xiao Wei's bed. They were neatly folded and there was no sign that anyone had touched them..."

"Humph!" Wang Chulong snorted when she heard this, "Didn't Master Xiaowei keep saying that he was sleeping in his room? Then why didn't others see it?"

"I clearly put the clothes into the box, how is it possible..." The young eunuch's face was covered with sweat, and he looked up at the queen in despair.

The queen had no choice at this moment.

after all……

In the afternoon, the Queen ordered Xiao Wei to go to the palace wall to deliver the secret medicine to Wu Tianqi! Of course, he couldn't be in the house at that time.

No! Everything is wrong. It's obvious that someone has arranged everything in advance!

How could the secret medicine that had already been given away appear in Xiao Wei's sachet again? ! What a coincidence that it was exposed at this moment?

Who is it? Who is it?!

The queen looked around, and everyone in Zhengyang Palace seemed very suspicious to her at this moment!

But who could weave such a big net in front of her, the master of the harem? She was trapped and unable to move!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty and I have been married for more than twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" The Queen's eyes were filled with tears.

The emperor did not answer because the palace maid had already taken the next step.

She pulled out a hairpin from her sleeve and held it high above her head. "Your Majesty, two months ago, I saw Eunuch Xiao Wei entering and leaving the inner courtyard. I was curious so I asked him a few more questions. Eunuch Xiao Wei said that he was doing errands for the Empress and asked me to keep it a secret. He gave me this hairpin and said... he said that the Empress praised him for doing a good job and gave it to me as a reward."

It was a silver peach and green leaf silk hairpin, and it was exquisite at first glance.

Eunuch Yao glanced at the emperor and seeing that he did not stop her, he stepped forward and took the hairpin from the palace maid.

Every item in the palace had a record, and the emperor valued the empress, so every reward Yao Gong knew by heart: "Your Majesty, this item was tributed from Jiangnan during the Flower Festival this year. Your Majesty thought it was small and cute, so he gave it directly to the empress... This item is indeed owned by the empress."

The Queen used the new tribute as a reward, which clearly showed how much she valued the eunuch Xiao Wei.

The emperor glanced at the queen's pale face calmly: "Wen Fei, do you have anything else to say?"

A tear fell from the queen's cheek. In the past, the emperor would have been reluctant to ask further questions, but today...

All the officials and their wives in the court looked at him.

"Inspect!" The emperor waved his hand to the imperial physician, "Go and examine the Fourth Prince's wife's face carefully to see if there is anything strange about the way she restored her appearance."

This time, no one spoke out to stop it.

"Yes."

The imperial physician's examination was quick. Lin Jiaoyue's face had recovered in less than a month and a half. Using such a heavy medicine would definitely leave traces...

Soon, he knelt before the emperor again, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Say!"

The Imperial Physician said, "According to my testimony, the Fourth Prince's wife's facial injuries were healed by the secret medicine I just found... and she used no less than two boxes."

"Ugh!" Lin Jiaoyue couldn't help but vomit...

She had never thought that Wu Tianqi would use human blood to heal her wounds and remove her scars! She turned her head and looked at Wu Tianqi in disbelief.

The latter had already closed his eyes in despair.

The emperor ignored them and just looked at the queen: "Wen Fei, I didn't expect you would actually do such a thing..."

The queen forced herself to remain calm. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then slowly knelt down and said, "I have never done this. Your Majesty, don't you think that what happened today is too coincidental?"

"At this point, you still don't admit it?"

"Chu He, search the palace!"

"Yes!" Chu He replied.

"Your Majesty!" the Queen screamed at the top of her lungs, "Is this really what's going to happen between you and me?"

The emperor closed his eyes and said, "I also hope that this palace search will yield nothing..."

Chu He glanced at the emperor's sad face, then turned and left with the imperial guards.

……

That night, no one left Zhengyang Palace.

Half an hour later, several imperial guards carried a bloody female corpse into Zhengyang Palace amidst the panic of the crowd.

The strong smell of blood mixed with a faint smell of medicine made people feel nauseous.

"What...is this?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this person was found in the secret room of the Queen's palace! I don't know who leaked the news. When I and Deputy Commander Chu arrived, this person had already been killed by the people in the Queen's palace. Fortunately, when I broke into the secret room, her body had not been destroyed...but her face had been destroyed. Deputy Commander Chu is interrogating the maids in the Queen's palace to find out the identity of this person."

After hearing the report from the imperial guards, the emperor seemed to have lost all his strength and fell back into his seat dejectedly.

He raised his hand weakly and pointed at the imperial physician: "Go and have a look."

The imperial physician endured the discomfort in his heart, carefully moved forward, checked the marks on the body, and sniffed the blood.

"Your Majesty, I only heard about the 'medicine man' from books, and I have never seen a real person! But this woman does have the scent of several precious medicinal herbs, and there are three or four new and old scars on her wrists, and the blood has not dried yet. She has indeed been bled..."

His words were as good as set in stone.

The Zhengyang Palace was silent and the emperor lowered his head dejectedly: "You all have accompanied me all night... Go back, I want to be alone and quiet."
