Gao Xiyue rubbed her forehead helplessly.

Row.

It's not over, right?

Then I'll play with you!

"Is Empress Xian determined to take up the Emperor's sleeping time?" Gao Xiyue asked.

"I just want to clear Hai Changzai's name." Ruyi replied.

"Okay. Then let's not sleep tonight. Your Majesty, please judge me. My red radish charcoal was lost, but I found the used red radish charcoal ash in Hai Changzai's room. Even her maid Xiangyun admitted that it was Hai Changzai who stole the charcoal. But Hai Changzai said she had never stolen it. This is what happened. I wonder where your Majesty wants to start?"

Hongli also got angry and refused to sleep!

"Someone, send Xiangyun to the Shenxing Division. I want to hear the truth from her!"

Xiangyun was taken away crying.

Gao Xiyue was not afraid of Xiangyun confessing anything, because when she came here, she had already bought the Loyalty Pill from the system mall, and quietly made everyone in Xianfu Palace, except Ye Xin, including Xiangyun, take it.

Even if she had gone through 72 tortures of the Shenxingsi, Xiangyun would not bite her out.

While Xiangyun was entering the Shenxingsi, Hongli continued to ask: "My Lady, you said your red radish charcoal was lost, do you have any evidence?"

Gao Xiyue just gave up and said, "I have no evidence. Your Majesty, please go check it yourself."

Hongli: "...Wang Qin, go check!"

Wang Qin looked at the queen cautiously, and seeing that she was as confused as he was, he had to step back and go check.

Ruyi and Hailan had been kneeling from the beginning, and they were still kneeling now. Seeing this, Hongli said, "We can't convict Hai Changzai of any crime until the cause of the matter is fully investigated. You all stand up first."

Ruyi pouted and she and Hailan supported each other to stand up.

They were just standing there. Hongli didn't even offer to bring a stool for them, and Gao Xiyue was even less likely to say anything.

Anyway, they were investigating and Gao Xiyue had nothing to do, so she simply supported her chin with her hands, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Hongli and the Queen, who were trying hard to stay awake, said: "..."

About half an hour later, Shen Xingsi and Wang Qin came over to report.

Mo Xin gently pushed Gao Xiyue. Gao Xiyue was not sleeping well to begin with, so she woke up after being pushed.

She yawned, stretched, and looked at Nanny Shenxingsi who was kneeling on the ground and Wang Qin beside her.

Then the maid of the Shenxing Division said, "Your Majesty, we have used all the means we can, but Xiangyun's confession has not changed. She still insists that it was Hai Changzai who stole the charcoal. At this moment, Xiangyun has fainted. We are afraid that if we continue the trial, she will lose her life, so we come to report this to Your Majesty."

Wang Qin followed up, "Your Majesty, everyone in Xianfu Palace has been questioned, and it is clear that the Imperial Concubine did lose the red charcoal."

After they finished speaking, even Hongli and the Queen, who had originally suspected that Gao Xiyue had deliberately framed Hai Lan, began to doubt the truth of the matter.

Then Ruyi said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to check Xiangyun's family. Xiangyun can frame Hai Changzai without caring about her life. It is definitely not something that can be bribed with a little gold and silver. Maybe her family was captured, so she had to frame Hai Changzai."

"Empress Xian means that I sent people to arrest Xiangyun's family just to frame Hai Changzai for stealing charcoal?"

Ruyi didn't say anything, but her look and attitude had already given everyone the answer.

Gao Xiyue chuckled and said, "If you tell this to a dog, it won't believe it. But I didn't expect Concubine Xian to believe it."

Ruyi was scolded like a dog by Gao Xiyue and was so angry that she wanted to explain herself, but unfortunately Gao Xiyue did not give her the chance.

"Well, since Concubine Xian thinks that I have arrested Xiangyun's family to threaten Xiangyun and frame Hai Changzai, then please ask the emperor to send someone out of the palace to investigate."

So Wang Qin took the order and left the palace again.

It's late at night and it's winter again.

Wang Qin covered his frozen ears and cursed as he walked, swearing that he and Ruyi would never reconcile!

The guards and eunuchs following behind Wang Qin didn't say anything, but they all thought the same thing in their hearts.

It's really fucking annoying!

Another hour passed.

Gao Xiyue woke up from her sleep again.

"Your Majesty, Xiangyun's family is all well at home. I asked their neighbors, and they also said that there is nothing unusual in their family."

Hongli, who was so sleepy that his head was dizzy, said: "..."

When people feel sleepy, they feel bad.

If you are in a bad mood, you need to vent your anger and cool down.

Thinking that he had been tormented for the entire night because of a little concubine named Hai, Hongli said directly: "Koriyete, the daughter of a guilty minister, has no moral integrity and no character. She is really unworthy of the position of concubine. She should be demoted to an official lady."

Hailan said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Your Majesty!" Ruyi shouted, "Hai Lan definitely didn't do this!"

Hongli could no longer hold back his temper, and for the first time he yelled at Ruyi, "Empress Xian, the evidence is here, and I have investigated as you requested. What else do you want from me?"

Gao Xiyue took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, I really don't want to live in the same palace with a seaman's daughter. I heard that the Yanqing Palace where the former Imperial Noble Consort lived is still empty. Since an Imperial Noble Consort was born there, it must be a good place of wealth and prosperity. Why not let the seaman's daughter move there and let her share in the blessings of the Imperial Noble Consort."

Seeing that the time for court session was approaching, Hongli did not want to delay any longer, so he said, "Okay."

Then he left without looking back.

The queen had a pair of big dark circles under her eyes. She looked at Gao Xiyue in confusion and followed Hongli out. She still had to help Hongli change into court clothes.

Gao Xiyue stood up and walked to Ruyi with a swagger, "Empress Xian, you are not welcome in my Xianfu Palace. If you come uninvited in the future, I don't mind teaching you the rules."

Ruyi looked unconvinced, "My Lady, you and I know the truth of today. Although I don't know why Xiangyun obeys you so much, I believe that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet! I am waiting for that day!"

Gao Xiyue smiled, "What a great saying, good is rewarded with good, evil is punished with evil. Unfortunately, you may not be able to wait for the day when I come. I calculated with my fingers, and you will not live longer than I do."

After saying that, his eyes turned cold, "Shuangxi, show me the guest!"

The chubby Shuangxi said "Eh", and took people to drive Ruyi, Hailan and others out.

"I'm exhausted after a night of hard work. Xing Xuan, go back to Changchun Palace and tell the Queen that I'm sick. I'm going to sleep all day today! No one is allowed to disturb me!"

"Yes!"
