While talking, Grandma Nian appeared, her face even uglier than last night, as if she had aged several years overnight.
Come to think of it, with so many things happening in a row, not even one person can get better.
"The Minister of Criminal Justice and the adults from Dali Temple will come over later. Everyone will go there one by one to ask questions. Please explain everything to you honestly. If you are found to have any problems,"
Aunt Nian said something and her mean and fierce face easily frightened the young maids standing below to the point where their faces turned pale.
Then she continued: "Once you go into the prison, it's not that easy to get out again..."
"Everyone has come to Dali Temple?"
Jiang Tang frowned slightly, and finally there was a little extra expression on his face. It seemed that the emperor really cared about "Fang Concubine".
Until Grandma Nian announced the disbandment, the legs of the little maids and eunuchs all became weak. There was no way back in the Shenxing Department!
It even involves Dali Temple. It’s really scary!
Jiang Tang was clearly thinking about the problem when he was disturbed by the sound of soft sobbing from the side. Just as he was about to raise his head to see who was crying, he heard the system prompt:
[Host, grandma is calling you!]
She paid attention and raised her head, and she saw Mother Nian not far away looking at her expressionlessly: "Haitang, come here, I'll see you if I need anything."
For a moment, the whole courtyard fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Tang.
She blinked lightly, nodded "yes", and then followed Nian out.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Go back to your room and rest. If you have nothing to do, don't come out. I will have lunch delivered to your room."
Who would have thought that grandma, who looked mean inside just now, would change her face as soon as she came out, and said to Jiang Tang in a flattering manner:
"Don't worry, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, and no one will bother you."
Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if nothing had happened: "Thank you for your kindness, grandma."
The voice is gentle and natural, which in the eyes of Grandma Nian is her confidence!
I am even more certain that this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Tang.
She wanted to say something else, but a little eunuch came running not far away: "Mommy, people are here!"
Aunt Nian's expression changed: "I know!"
Then he looked at Jiang Tang, as if he wanted her to leave quickly, along with the news that the Shenxing Division and Dali Temple were coming, and the order from above for Haitang to avoid it.
So in addition to making a good purchase, Nian would not let others keep an eye on Jiang Tang. Apart from anything else, just this eye-catching face... How could she hide it after being seen?
Jiang Tang immediately understood what the other party meant and bowed: "Haitang, please step back first."
Aunt Nian nodded quickly: "Hey, okay, you can go down."
Seeing the girl turn around and leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and resumed her look of not being able to offend anyone: "Ask the people inside to line up, and those whose names are called will come out one by one!"
[The grandma was thinking in her heart that luckily you, the host, were never on the list, so no one would notice you even if you were 'invisible'. 】
The system said with some gloating: [But who would have thought that they would eliminate the correct answers in the first place? 】
Jiang Tang didn't even pause, and a thin smile appeared on his lips: "It's just the emperor's arrogance."
He believed that "she" was just a weak woman who had lost her freedom and was imprisoned in the cold palace. She was also afraid that her despicable behavior would be exposed, so she immediately ordered someone to hide her.
The system said in agreement: "The host is right, men are all big pigs, no matter young or old!"
Jiang Tang stopped talking, turned the corner, and completely disappeared from sight.
From the first words Nian said, she knew that the emperor did not want her to be discovered.
So... if nothing else goes wrong, the trap that woman set up for her with her life can be considered broken.
Xiao Yinhan didn't care whether he killed her or not, the emperor directly excluded her.
As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, Jiang Tang can basically be sure that he will be fine.
But she was not very happy.
After calming down from last night's shock, she still felt that Fang's death was too weird.
In other words, it was too easy to die, as if it had been planned long ago, and even Xiao Yinhan would appear...
Jiang Tang thought of the faint ringing of wind chimes last night, and guessed that she heard someone coming in because of that sound.
But what if it’s not Xiao Yinhan who comes but someone else?
Also, she just wanted to provoke the other person, but she directly killed herself to silence him. No matter how you look at it...it's unreasonable.
Jiang Tang thought a lot, but due to limited conditions, she could only think about it. Before there was new "evidence", she could only believe that Fang Concubine was dead.
-
"Everyone is here?"
The young man with a serious expression looked at the nervous and bowed palace ladies below, his eyes as sharp as a razor.
When he saw this, even Nian Nian's heart skipped a beat: "There are still some people following Aunt Tan in other palaces..."
"Then call them all!" The man interrupted her unceremoniously: "There are people in the place I want!"
Grandma Nian felt her throat tighten, as if her neck was stuck by some invisible pressure.
This young commander of the Imperial Guard is really as hard to mess with as the legend says!
"Yes, yes, slave, go and call me right now."
Finally, Grandma Nian had no choice but to compromise and raise her hand to ask someone to call for her.
Below, Ming Lan nervously pulled Zhu Er's hand: "Where's Haitang? I was just called out by grandma, why haven't you come in yet?"
Zhuer frowned subconsciously when she heard Minglan's words: "There must be other things, I don't know."
She said this, but she was secretly worried in her heart. The commander of the Royal Guards was not from the same faction as the prince. If he discovered that the master...
Zhu'er's heart clenched and she buried her head even lower.

[Host, the interrogation has begun over there. Do you want to take a look? 】
The system was monitoring the interrogation scene while talking to Jiang Tang: [Don't mention it, there is a fierce one who looks a bit like the male protagonist. He is quite handsome.]
Jiang Tang paused in the act of pouring tea: "You are still in the mood to care about these things. It seems you are quite free."
The system immediately changed its mouth: [No, no, I will just take a look. Mainly because I am afraid that the host will be implicated.]
It is actually wrong to say that it is "implicated", because Jiang Tang was originally a person in the game.
After looking at it for a while: [No one mentioned the host, it seems everything is fine.]
Jiang Tang was not surprised by this. Since Aunt Nian let her go in advance, she must have had some backup plans.
But don’t be afraid even if you don’t have it.
She pointed her finger, and a flash of sarcasm flashed in her eyes. The worst case scenario was that we would die together.
I accidentally "heard" Jiang Tang's inner system and was shocked: [Host, what were you thinking just now?]
Why do I feel like I'm in danger?
Of course Jiang Tang would not tell it what he thought, but asked instead: "Look at Shengmei's side. Have you seen anyone interrogating? We still have to look at her for our card mission."
【Okay! Watch now!】
Jiang Tang diverted the system's attention with just one sentence. The biggest task in the world is the biggest, and other unimportant things can stay away!
【...Sheng Meiren, are you taking a bath?】
The system paused: [I am indeed taking a shower, but it is mosaic and the system cannot see clearly.]
Jiang Tang:……
There is no need to tell her this, thank you.
But soon, the voice of the system became excited again: [Coming! Coming! Someone is really going to interrogate her!]
While the system was broadcasting, it felt inexplicably proud: [So the host is the most powerful, so what if you are the last? It’s not like no one dares to ask you! Host yyds! 】
Jiang Tang:...I always feel like I have a mentally retarded system.
[Oh, that woman went crazy again. She raised the stool, smashed it, smashed it! Yo yo yo, the guard at the front was hit on the head and bled... What a violent woman. 】
There was a bit of panic in the system's tone: [Fortunately, the host exchanged the props when he went to see her, otherwise you would have been the injured one. That woman is really crazy and violent, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not good enough, Emperor
I don’t know what I’m thinking. Aren’t you afraid that she will kill you if you sleep until midnight?...]
The system complained while watching, until it saw the interrogating official being violently driven away by Shengmei people, and finally confirmed:
[The host is right, this Shengmei is really extraordinary, no wonder host you chose her to help. 】
If you dare to do this to the investigating officials, what else can you do if you don't feel confident?
But the system suddenly thought of something: [Host, didn’t you say before that Concubine Fang has a concubine? Why didn’t you see it last night? 】
Jiang Tang, who had been lazily listening to the system, paused when he heard the words, and something suddenly flashed in his mind...
-
"Mother, please take a rest. I have left."
The palace maid suppressed her fear and went over to take off the hairpin from Sheng Meiren's hand, fearing that she would hurt herself.
That person comes once a month. If the empress is injured in any way, all those who serve around her will die.
"Get away!"
Sheng Meiren's mood was not calm yet. When she saw the palace maid approaching, she raised her hand and waved it wildly, and the sharp hairpin tail drew a dangerous arc in the air.
Under her feet, many things had been smashed.
The palace maids did not dare to speak. They looked at each other and saw deep fear and helplessness in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, the master above him spoke, his voice still hoarse: "What is that woman doing?"
The little palace maid was stunned: Who? Which woman?
"Empress, who are you talking about?" the palace maid asked tremblingly.
Surprisingly, the woman didn't get angry: "That woman, that woman who dared to threaten me! What is she doing?"
But when he spoke, his tone could not hide the feeling of gritted teeth.
The little palace maid froze when she heard this, as if she had guessed who it was.
-
[Host, Sheng Meiren’s maid is here to see you. She wants to see you.]
The system couldn't help but say: [She is so crazy. At this time, when everyone in the cold palace was investigating, she smashed the investigation point without telling the officials, and she dared to find someone blatantly. This is too... The system suddenly believed that she had really been there before.
She is a beloved concubine.]
How could she do such an arrogant and outrageous thing if she was not a beloved concubine?
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Tang raised her hand to put the last touch on her face. Since the other party finally came to her door, she would not refuse.
After all, tomorrow is the last time.
Even she needs to be a little nervous.
Now that he decided to go see Sheng Meiren to settle the "matter", Jiang Tang put on makeup that made him look a little more ordinary.
When she stood up, she saw that although her face was still delicate and good-looking, it was inexplicably less attractive than usual. People clearly looked at her but couldn't remember her appearance.
"Button, button, button,"
There was a knock on the door, and a strange voice came from outside: "Haitang? Aunty asked you to help deliver lunch."
Jiang Tang remained silent and signaled to the system.
System: [They are from the Shengmei people. Host, do you want to go? 】
Jiang Tang lowered his eyes and looked at himself expressionless in the bronze mirror: "Go." Why not.
-
"Is that all these people?"
The Jin Yiwei cooperated with the officials of Dali Temple to interrogate the palace residents in the cold palace one by one. The most solemn man stood at the door. His tall and straight body was like a sharp weapon. Every time he glanced at it, it always made people feel that their skin was...
pain.
Nian wiped her sweat and said, "Everyone on the list is here. Even the sick ones have been called over. No one is missing."
Ming Lan, who was about to enter the door, subconsciously looked up when she heard this.
"Let's go quickly."
Pearl pulled her hand and she came back to her senses: "Yeah."
The man who was looking through the roster seemed to have noticed something. He paused and looked towards the silently marching team, his dark eyes filled with deep scrutiny.
-
"It seems that the queen has figured it out."
Jiang Tang looked at the snacks on the table in front of him, and then looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. Her cold and distant aura was completely different from the crazy woman in the system photo just now.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes...you wouldn't believe it.
"I can grant you whatever you want, I only want one answer."
Sheng Meiren raised her chin slightly and spoke proudly.
Jiang Tang's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but think about it: She has been relegated to the sidelines, but she can still claim to be "this palace". First of all, she can learn from this person's self-confidence.
"Since your Majesty said so, I won't beat around the bush,"
Jiang Tang raised his head, showed a soft smile, and said Wang Zha:
"The Emperor is about to leave for his summer resort. I want to go too. Can your Majesty help me?"
Almost as soon as she finished saying this, the woman who was cold and beautiful a second ago distorted her face: "What did you say?"
That fierce and ferocious look seemed like he was about to pounce on Jiang Tang and eat him up at the next moment:
"Get out! Get out! I don't want your help!"
The system couldn't hold it back: [Blessings, why are you messing with her if you have nothing to do...]
Jiang Tang's face didn't change: "Maybe she thinks a crazy look is more suitable for her. I'm afraid she'll be awkward, so help her."
System: Very helpful. Please don’t help me next time.
"Well, since the queen has said so, I won't force it."
Jiang Tang stood up: "It's a pity that you will never have the chance to know the truth you want in this life."
She said, showing a sweet smile to the woman, then turned and left without hesitation.
"one two three……"
When "Three" had just finished speaking, a woman's suppressed voice grinding her teeth came from behind:
"Stop! I promise you! But if you dare to lie to me, I will definitely kill you!"
Jiang Tang paused, then turned around and smiled unchanged:
"Since your Majesty is so cheerful, let me give you a hint."
