A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

The search inside the Changle Palace was fruitless.

Xiang Guiren shouted, "I have already said that there is nothing suspicious in Changle Palace. You did not believe me. Now the facts are before your eyes. What else do you have to say?"

The servants looked at each other, waiting for Xia Lu's next instructions.

Xia Lu said, "Since there is nothing in the palace, then go search the courtyard. Even the storeroom and the maid's room must be checked one by one!"

Everyone said "Yes!"

When Xiang Guiren heard Xia Lu talking about the warehouse, her heart skipped a beat. There were some "contraband items" in the warehouse. When she first entered the palace, she relied on these things to become the favorite in the harem.

Concubine Xiang and the palace maid Xing'er looked at each other.

Xing Er volunteered, "I'll take you there. Since you're going to check the maids' room, check my room first. If the noble lady really has something dirty, it must be in my hands. If I don't have it here, there's no place else for it!"

Xia Lu pointed at two people casually and said, "You two, follow her!"

Seeing that Xia Lu only sent two people to go with her, Xing'er couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had wanted to lure more people over.

Xing'er gritted her teeth and took the two men to her room, leaving only Xiang Guiren and Xia Lu in the room.

Seeing that no one was around, Xiang Guiren lowered her status and asked, "Master Xia, can you tell me what suspicious things the emperor is investigating?"

Xia Lu said expressionlessly, "After you find out, you will know."

Seeing that Xia Lu didn't dare to reveal a single extra word, Concubine Xiang walked to the dressing table, opened the box, and took out a pair of emerald green bracelets. The bracelets were crystal clear and obviously worth a lot of money.

Xiang Guiren handed it to Xia Lu and said, "Master Xia, please be kind. We won't find anything if we continue searching like this. Why waste time? Just go back and report back!"

"What do you think? After all, I just had a miscarriage and I need to rest and recuperate. You are disturbing my meditation and causing trouble for yourself. Why do you do this?"

After saying that, he took the jade bracelet forward again.

Xiang Guiren's fawning manner showed that she was trying to cover up her guilt. Xia Lu pushed the jade bracelet away and said, "I work tirelessly for the Emperor, and I will not accept rewards without merit. You should keep this thing yourself, Xiang Guiren!"

Seeing that Xia Lu refused to give in, Concubine Xiang simply put the bracelet back into the box.

After a while, Xiang Guiren couldn't hold back her temper and said, "I need to go to the bathroom, please get out!"

Xia Lu said, "Someone will bring it to your room. You can finish it in your room."

Xiang Guiren ordered, "Then get out!"

Xia Lu bowed and took his leave.

When the toilet was brought in, Concubine Xiang had no intention of using it. Instead, she prepared to jump out of the window when no one was around. No matter what, she couldn't let the aphrodisiac be discovered by anyone.

As soon as she opened the window, she saw Xia Lu's face!

Xia Lu asked, "Didn't Lady Xiang want to go to the bathroom? What does this mean?"

Xiang Guiren said casually, "Can't I open the window to get some fresh air? Do you have to care about this?"

Xia Lu said, "I dare not."

Seeing that nothing would work no matter what she did, Xiang Guiren became more and more anxious.

She was so anxious that she paced back and forth. If the emperor found out that she was using the aphrodisiac, it would be a serious crime! If she was not careful, her father, mother, and brother would all be in trouble! But how could the emperor find out?

Yes! And the Queen, how could she forget the Queen as a bargaining chip? As long as the Queen is there, the Emperor will be more or less considerate of the Queen's face and will not do anything to the Wang family...

A voice said, "Master Xia, we found something suspicious!"

The sound of "found it" completely disrupted all of Xiang Guiren's thoughts. She bit her lower lip and her fingernails nervously dug into the flesh.

Xiang Guiren walked to the window and wanted to see what they had found. It didn't matter if she didn't look. As soon as she looked, she saw that it was the box where she had placed the aphrodisiac incense. The box was extremely exquisite and she recognized it from a distance.

"Smash the box open and see what's inside?" Xia Lu ordered.

The box was very sturdy, and the servant had to smash it hard before a crack appeared. After opening the box, they found some incense inside!

The servant picked up the incense, took a deep puff, and said, "Master Xia, this seems to be what we are looking for!"

Xia Lu's gloomy face suddenly brightened up and said, "Okay, pack up the things and bring them to the Yangxin Palace."

Then, Xia Lu walked to the door and said

"Mr. Xiang, please follow me!"

Xiang Guiren's heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom. How should she explain when she arrived at the Yangxin Palace? She couldn't admit that she had been relying on contraband items to gain favor...

The servant who had just inhaled the aphrodisiac incense now had a slightly red face, was confused and stared at Xia Lu's profile in a daze.

"What's going on? I've been a eunuch for so long that I find all the men I see to be good-looking..."
