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

Xiao Kangzi was suddenly touched by Song Qingwan, and was so frightened that he almost lost his balance, and his legs went weak...

Concubine Qing stepped forward and said, "Sister, you came early. Hasn't Xiao Kangzi been interrogated yet?"

Now that their relationship has fallen out, Song Qingwan is no longer willing to maintain the superficial false affection with Concubine Qing.

With a sneer, she said, "I came early? If I had come later, I would have to collect Yingcan's body!"

Concubine Qing frowned and said, "Hey~ what are you talking about, sister?"

Rupin also stepped forward and said, "Exactly, Yupin, how did you talk to Concubine Qing? Is it wrong for Concubine Qing to be fair?"

Song Qingwan looked at Rupin and asked, "May I ask if Rupin knows what is fair?"

"There are so many people in this room, big and small, including eunuchs and palace maids, some of whom went to the Imperial Household Department earlier than Yingcan, and some of whom have been there longer than her. Why is she the only one being punished?"

Concubine Qing and Concubine Ru were speechless, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a moment.

Concubine Qing said, "Sister, you are overthinking. Everyone needs to be tried. Although I have some friendship with you in private, and I also know Miss Yingcan, the emperor has given me full authority to handle this matter. I must enforce the law impartially, so I have not been partial."

"I never thought that I would make my sister angry."

Song Qingwan looked at the woman in front of her who had a hypocritical heart and a sweet mouth, and she hated herself for being so stupid and not seeing her true face earlier.

Song Qingwan said coldly, "Your Majesty, your words are too serious. How can I be angry? Since Your Majesty said that you will enforce the law impartially, then we will handle the matter impartially."

"Yingcan was also beaten, but he didn't confess anything. Should Xiaokangzi, who was in contact with Yingcan at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also be tortured and tried?"

Concubine Qing said, "Of course I want it."

Rupin was shocked. “Ah!”

Song Qingwan sat down on the chair and said slowly, "Let's start! I also want to see what Xiao Kangzi will confess after being punished one by one~"

Rupin hurriedly tried to stop him, for she was afraid that Xiaokangzi would not be able to bear the torture and would tell what she had instructed him to do.

"Wait, no!"

Song Qingwan tilted her head and looked at Concubine Ru, her fair and innocent face full of murderous intent.

"Why did Concubine Ru react so strongly? Could it be that she was afraid that Xiao Kangzi would not be able to bear the torture and say something he shouldn't say?"

Rupin stammered, "How... How is it possible! What I mean is that Xiaokangzi has already checked. When he received Yingcan that day, he was not with Yingcan the whole time. He also went to get things for other people in the palace."

Song Qingwan asked back, "Oh? What does this mean?"

"Xiao Kangzi is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He knows exactly where everything is. He can commit crimes at any time of the day. Is he just waiting to be discovered when he catches someone?"

Concubine Ru was speechless after being rebuked by Song Qingwan.

Song Qingwan turned to look at Concubine Qing again, "Are you right, Madam?"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Concubine Qing said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, yes."

Song Qingwan said with every word being a pearl of wisdom, "Why not check Xiao Kangzi more thoroughly? It will always be reassuring if we check him. Check if he is clean, if the room he is in is clean, who he has contacted with, and the rooms of those people. We should check them one by one."

After hearing this, Rupin looked at Song Qingwan with wide eyes. How come all the words she had said were coming back to her?

"Princess Yu, stop messing around!"

Song Qingwan asked, "Why? Xiao Kangzi has been transferred to Jiahe Palace. Your Majesty is afraid that Xiao Kangzi will do something dishonest and bring trouble to you? So you dare not check."

Rupin gnashed her teeth and said, "Yupin, please stop exaggerating. There is nothing I dare not do. Just go and check it out!"

"But if you can't find out, I'll make you pay!"

Concubine Ru was confident that those people would not be able to find out, because Xiaokangzi had already framed Yingcan for the night pearl. As for where the night pearl was, it must be in Song Qingwan's Jingyang Palace!

Song Qingwan said calmly, "Did you hear what Concubine Ru said? Why don't you go check on Xiao Kangzi?"

After hearing this, the palace servants from the Ministry of Punishment brought Xiao Kangzi out from the crowd and searched him, but found nothing.

Xiao Kangzi was glad that he had carefully hidden the night pearl before going out and did not carry it with him.

"He doesn't have it on him," the palace servant replied.

Song Qingwan turned to Concubine Qing and said, "Then let's send someone to search Jiahe Palace. What do you think? Concubine Qing, we've been to Jingyang Palace. Since we want to enforce the law impartially, we have to search Jiahe Palace as well."

"I'm just afraid... Concubine Ru won't agree." After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Concubine Ru.

Seeing Song Qingwan's contemptuous look, Rupin immediately said, "What does Yupin mean by this look? Why am I unwilling to do this? Are you trying to frame me?"

Song Qingwan smiled after hearing this and said to Concubine Qing, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ru has no objection. Send someone to search!"

Concubine Qing couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. This Song Qingwan came with ill intentions and was probably already fully prepared. This situation was likely to be reversed.

The one who is more restless than others is Xiao Kangzi!

Although Xiao Kangzi hid himself very well, he still felt uneasy when he thought about so many people searching for him. If he was really found out, he would be finished.

"Empress Ru!" Xiao Kangzi called out, looking embarrassed.

Rupin looked at Xiaokangzi in confusion and said, "Why? After these people have searched, they can clear your name and Jiahe Palace's name, and shut up Youyou and some people!"

Song Qingwan knew that Rupin was referring to her, so she lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

The guards who were searching were sent out, and the remaining people in the Ministry of Punishment were all staring at each other in confusion.

Song Qingwan held her chin and said, "It's pointless for your Majesty to wait like this. Why don't we...try Xiao Kangzi first? I think this punishment is good. Why not torture him severely? If Xiao Kangzi confesses, the guards won't have to work so hard to find him."

Xiao Kangzi looked at the whip in front of him and looked at Concubine Ru in fear.

Rupin naturally knew that Xiaokangzi was afraid, so she retorted, "Under severe punishment, there must be injustice. Let's wait until the guards who searched come back."

Song Qingwan pulled Yingcan's hand beside her with heartache.

With murderous eyes, she said, "It turns out that Rupin also knows that there must be injustice under severe punishment!"

"This Xiaokangzi has fair skin and fair flesh. Maybe a few whips will make him spit it out. What do you think, Concubine Qing?"

"Since we have to handle this matter impartially, Xiao Kangzi must also suffer what Ying Can has suffered. We cannot just bully a girl and we cannot be partial."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Concubine Qing.
