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

Yangxindian

Haitang reported everything Song Qingwan had taught her to the emperor, hoping to ask for justice.

After hearing this, Xiao Rui put down his pen and asked, "Yingcan in your palace? Is she suspected of stealing the Night Pearl?"

Haitang quickly explained, "No, Your Majesty, Yingcan is definitely not that kind of person. It was just that day that she happened to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up something, and that's why she was considered a suspect."

Xiao Rui said calmly, "I know about the Night Pearl matter. I have given it to Concubine Qing to handle. Concubine Qing is a person who can distinguish right from wrong. She will make the final decision."

Haitang saw that the emperor didn't seem to care about Yingcan's affairs. Yes, perhaps in the emperor's heart, Concubine Qing must be the kind of person who is upright and can distinguish right from wrong.

"Your Majesty! Please come over and take a look!"

Haitang said anxiously, because she knew that without the emperor, Yingcan would inevitably suffer physical pain.

Xiao Rui looked at Haitang coldly. "You mean, for a mere palace maid, should I bother to go to the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate her in person? Or do you not trust Concubine Qing and my ability to employ people?"

After hearing this, Haitang felt disappointed.

It was my own negligence. I absurdly thought that, relying on the emperor's favor for my own queen, I could give orders to the almighty emperor at will.

Haitang knelt on the ground hurriedly and said in panic, "Your servant, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... you can send someone to bring them here for interrogation. There is no need for the emperor to come in person..."

Xiao Rui slammed the table.

"Nonsense! The Yangxin Palace is a place for work, not a place to interrogate criminals!"

Haitang buried her head in the ground, too scared to speak. She didn't know what was wrong with the emperor today. It was as if he had eaten gunpowder. The more anxious she became, the more he overstepped the line.

"Get out." Xiao Rui said coldly

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Haitang didn't dare to look at the emperor again. She had to leave here first and think of other solutions when she returned.

Then Haitang propped herself up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Rui raised his eyes and saw Haitang's departing back. He thought of Song Qingwan. Perhaps it was Song Qingwan who asked her to come this time. If she went back to report like this, it would probably make Song Qingwan sad.

"Wait a moment."

When Haitang heard the emperor calling her, she turned around.

"I will ask Xia Lu who is beside me to assist in the investigation. Please rest assured, Concubine Yu."

Haitang was so happy that she almost jumped up when she heard this! Although the emperor did not go in person, everyone knew that Xia Lu was the emperor's favorite. With Xia Lu around, it would be difficult for others to bend the law for personal gain.

"I thank the emperor very much! On behalf of Yingcan and the entire Jingyang Palace, I thank the emperor very much! "

Xiao Rui said, "Don't be too happy yet. If it wasn't Yingcan who did it, I would have asked Yingcan to go back to work immediately. If it was really her who did it, I would not let her off easily either."

Haitang nodded. "Yes, I understand! I understand!"

Xiao Rui waved his hand, "Well, leave now."

Haitang then left with satisfaction.

After Haitang left, Xiao Rui recalled what the Queen and the others said when they confronted each other a few days ago.

Bihu testified that the death of the eldest prince was closely related to the queen. Xiao Rui always thought that it was a natural disaster, that God was jealous of talented people, but he never thought it was a man-made disaster.

Over the past few days, I have sent Xia Lu to investigate the incident from many angles, and finally there is some clue.

It turned out that what Bihu said was true. It was the Queen who had her eyes on the eldest prince from the very beginning. He was the eldest son and the most outstanding one.

His food had been spiked with a slow-acting poison that wouldn't kill him at once, but would slowly fail various parts of his body, leaving no trace.

He punished all the palace maids who served the eldest prince that day to vent his anger, but the deceased could not be saved after all. The imperial doctors all said that it was difficult to fulfill ambitions and that talent was envied by God.

It was also from that time that Xiao Rui and Concubine Qing began to separate. Concubine Qing could not get over it at that time and demanded justice, but the war was at its peak at that time, so after the imperial doctors examined her body, she was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Concubine Qing always blamed herself for not getting to the bottom of the matter, but the truth was already there: the eldest prince was young and unlucky, and she once thought that Concubine Qing was unable to get over it and was making trouble unreasonably.

Yes, if I had checked more at that time it would have been better.

Maybe I don't dare to face it. As a father, I have indeed failed in my duty.

Therefore, a clear order was issued that no one was allowed to mention the eldest prince again, as if these things had never happened and to deceive themselves and others.

Jiahe Palace

When Xiao Kangzi went out to see Doctor Chen off, he saw a cloth bag fall out of his sleeve, so he secretly picked it up when no one was paying attention.

Although the work was less stressful after coming to work in Jiahe Palace, the salary did not increase much. However, it was different for Imperial Doctor Chen, as he was specially recruited into the palace.

He was also a palace servant serving the emperor, and many princes in the palace were under his care. The things he dropped must be of great value.

Even if it was just a sweat towel, I believe it could be taken out of the palace and sold for a good price.

So Xiao Kangzi picked up the thing without saying anything and secretly hid it under his pillow, intending to wait until everyone else was away, then he would secretly open it and take a look.

On this day, Concubine Ru received the news and went to the Ministry of Punishment, taking most of the people with her. After Concubine Ru left, the remaining palace servants gathered together lazily and started chatting.

Xiao Kangzi saw that everyone was chatting happily, so he returned to his room calmly.

When I took it out from under the pillow, it was a cloth bag.

There is a lot of this kind of cloth in the Imperial Household Department, so it's not rare. I just don't know what's inside it. Maybe the more luxurious the item, the more ordinary things are used to wrap it!

Xiao Kangzi closed the door and sat down again.

After opening the cloth bags layer by layer, I found paper bags inside.

"It's hidden so well, what kind of treasure is it?" Xiao Kangzi said excitedly.

But when he opened it, he was dumbfounded!

It was the Night Pearl! The Night Pearl actually grew legs and flew back!
