When the Emperor Junyin stood up and left Fengyi Tower, Concubine Hua followed him carefully and walked to the door. After the Emperor's figure disappeared, Xi Yun asked in a low voice in confusion.
"Your Majesty, if the emperor doesn't mean that, won't Li Chunxiang be in trouble?"
"Why would the emperor care so much about a palace maid playing with a slingshot if there wasn't a special reason? I believe this is definitely a good thing for Li Chunxiang."
With a slight smile, Concubine Hua turned around and returned to Fengyi Tower. Next, she was going to see how the show would unfold.
In the Yangxin Hall, Junyin pinched his forehead and sat still for a long time. The little eunuch who was keeping watch tonight was a little blessing to the prince. He was standing at the door, looking around, what happened to the emperor? He came back from Chonghua Palace.
He didn't go to the dragon couch to rest, nor did he talk. He just sat there, as if he was troubled by something.
"Come here, let Wu Xun come to see me."
"yes……"
Little Fortune sent someone to summon Wu Xun, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and soon Wu Xun arrived, trembling with fear, as if he didn't know why the emperor summoned him to the Yangxin Hall late at night.
After entering the Yangxin Hall, all the other people were kicked out by the emperor, leaving only the emperor and Commander Wu.
Xiao Fu was naturally kicked out. He stood outside the door. The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, what happened to the emperor today? There was not even a maid left in the Yangxin Palace. I don’t know what made the emperor so careful.
Cautiously, he hesitated for a while and wanted to call the prince over. However, he thought that his father-in-law might be happy now. If he was disturbed, he would inevitably be scolded, so he held back and stayed outside the Nourishing Heart Hall.
In the Yangxin Hall, Junyin's face was ashen.
"Commander Wu, what happened last time I asked you to thoroughly investigate Liao Pengju?"
"Liao Pengju relied on his military power to collect bribes from courtiers. Didn't the emperor say that he would not pursue the case? Recently... it seems that he has been more cautious. He just has close contacts with some ministers, and the ministers have been watching carefully." Wu Xun found it strange that the emperor was because of Liao Pengju.
He has military power, so he is not held accountable for accepting bribes. Why did he suddenly ask about it tonight?
"His son Liao Zhuoyi, didn't I ask you to follow him too? What did you tell me last time? He often appeared near the Guanyin Temple a month ago?"
This is the key point that Emperor Junyin wants to mention. Today in Chonghua Palace, he overheard Concubine Hua saying that Concubine Hui often left the palace more than a month ago and went to Guanyin Temple to pray. Only then did he remember that Commander Wu had a
The police reported that Liao Zhuoyi was acting suspiciously and sneakily, and had visited the Guanyin Temple many times.
Logically speaking, only female relatives go in and out there in order to have children, but why did Liao Zhuoyi go to the Guanyin Temple?
Wu Xun recalled and nodded.
"That's true. At that time, Wei Chen wondered what he was doing at the Guanyin Temple. Later, people offering incense at the temple said that he only stayed in the Guanyin Temple for half an hour and then left. This lasted for a week, probably.
It was a prayer or something, so I ignored it."
"hateful!"
Junyin was not a fool. He had always suspected something. That night he was pestered by Concubine Hui in tears, so he stayed at the Yiying House. Concubine Hui became pregnant just once. At that time, Junyin thought he was full of energy, so he stayed at Yiying Tower.
Having a concubine, now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"You should leave the palace immediately and investigate thoroughly what Liao Zhuoyi did during that time and who he met. You must investigate carefully."
Although Junyin mentioned Concubine Hui's name, he hoped that the matter would not be spread without conclusive evidence, but if Concubine Hui really had an affair with Liao Zhuoyi, this would be the best way to deprive the Liao family of military power.
opportunity.
Immediately after Wu Xun took the order, Junyin still pinched his forehead and gasped slightly. Although he had always wanted to weaken Liao Pengju's military power, he never thought it would be in this way. Thinking that Concubine Hui and Liao Zhuoyi might really have an affair, he became extremely angry.
"Pah! Pah!"
Junyin flicked his sleeves, and the teapot and teacup fell to the ground, making a series of noises. Outside the door, Xiao Fuqi and a palace maid were trembling with fear. They didn't know why the emperor was so angry.
No one dared to enter the Yangxin Hall without the emperor's order. The eunuchs and maids stood there timidly one by one. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't dare to express their dignity.
At this moment, Junyin still had another worry, and that was Li Chunxiang. He had just agreed to An Ge, and then he learned from Concubine Hua that Li Chunxiang was the maid who shot the slingshot. This fact made Junyin angry and added a bit of worry.
hurt.
A long time passed, but no sound came from the Yangxin Hall. Xiao Fuqi poked his neck and wondered if the emperor had fallen asleep. If so, he would have to ask someone to clean up the debris on the ground.
Just when he put his ear close to the door and wanted to listen, the door suddenly opened...
"Ah? Your Majesty..." When Xiao Fuqing saw this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud. All the eunuchs and maids behind him were half shorter.
None of them knew when the emperor walked to the door. When he opened the door and came out, they were all frightened to death.
"Bring Li Chunxiang from Taiyuan Hospital to see me?"
"ah?"
Xiao Fu was stupid again. He asked Li Chunxiang to come to Yangxin Hall at this time? Did he hear wrongly?
"I asked you to bring Li Chunxiang to see me, and you go in person!"
Emperor Junyin's voice was a little unhappy, but his face was still ashen. How dare you neglect such a small blessing, and he got up in a hurry.
"Slave, I'll go right away."
After nodding his head repeatedly, Xiao Fuqi ran to Tai Hospital crawling on the ground.
In the hospital, Chu Qiao hid in the room. Because she was afraid, she pushed the tables and chairs to the door and blocked the door. Then she lay on the bed with peace of mind, with a quilt covering her head. Maybe she was too frightened before she fell asleep.
After a while, I had nightmares again and again. After struggling for a long time, I finally fell asleep, but there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Li Chunxiang, Li Chunxiang, open the door. It's me. Open the door quickly."
who?
Chu Qiao suddenly revealed her head from the quilt and listened intently, wondering if it was a dream or real. After listening for a while, the knocking on the door became louder.
"Li Chunxiang, I am Xiao Luck. The Emperor has ordered you to go to the Yangxin Hall immediately. If you don't open the door, I will have someone bump into you."
This is not a dream, there is really someone knocking on the door, or it is a small blessing, someone from a prince.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath, put on her clothes quickly, and walked to the door cautiously, but she didn't dare to say a word. She was worried that someone was cheating her? Why did the emperor ask Li Chunxiang for nothing in the middle of the night?
After pursing her lips, Chu Qiao used her arms to hold down the table and chair tightly, and even if she beat her to death, she would not open the door.
