After going to court the next day, Zhou Xing was called into the Qiankun Palace by Emperor Chengde.
"It was you who drugged Gu Xiyan yesterday?" Emperor Cheng De didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
A flash of sharpness flashed in Zhou Xing's eyes, and he lowered his eyes and was about to deny it, when Emperor Cheng De said again: "Think carefully before replying. If you lie, you will be deceiving the emperor."
His heart trembled, "Yes, I drank too much and made a mistake while on an errand. Please forgive me, father!"
The next moment, Emperor Chengde swung a piece of snuff at him and barely hit him on the forehead. He didn't dare to hide or dodge, and he endured the blow all his life.
"Did you drink too much? Did you make a mistake in your trip? King Qin, you were the one who canceled the marriage, and now you have the nerve to drug her? You are my son, don't you feel ashamed to do such a thing? I am not ashamed of it.
I'm so ashamed for you!" Emperor Cheng De hated that iron could not become steel.
Zhou Xing climbed up and kowtowed several times: "I don't dare to do it anymore. Father, please don't be angry. It's all my fault!"
"I told you last time you raised a foreign wife. How did you agree? You have just finished raising a foreign wife. Yesterday you had the idea of the eldest daughter of Wanqing Hou Mansion. You let me down so much!"
Emperor Chengde rushed to Zhou Xing and kicked him over.
Zhou Xing did not dare to dodge, and after being kicked over by Emperor Cheng De, he knelt down in the corner again.
He felt that he was really useless as a prince, but his father was in his prime, and he didn't know when it would be his turn to sit on the throne.
At this time, he suddenly felt that he didn't want to wait, he desperately wanted to become the king of Jin.
After being severely punished by Emperor Cheng De, Zhou Xing left the Qiankun Palace in embarrassment.
After leaving the palace and returning to Prince Qin's Mansion, he called Zhao De to him: "Let me investigate carefully and find out who leaked my secrets. I will chop that person up with my own hands!"
Seeing that Zhou Xing was in a rage, Zhao De complained endlessly: "They are all trustworthy people, and they have dealt with everything cleanly, but I don't know how the news got out. I will go check it out now."
"Yesterday the King of Japan saw Xi Yan being helped out, and then Xi Yan was transferred. He must have connections in the palace, so that he could be unaware of the gods and ghosts." Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "Since Xi Yan
It would have been inappropriate for her to leave the palace early and in that state to be seen by the guards guarding the Xihua Gate. I suspect that she left the palace in a carriage. Go check and find out who is the person who rescued Xi Yan!
”
Zhao De is a good person and knew that Zhou Xing asked him to start the investigation from the guards of Xihua Gate.
He slipped out of the palace and went to investigate the matter.
Zhou Xing waited patiently at the palace.
Until Zhao De hurriedly returned home, he stepped forward and asked: "Have you found out?"
Zhao De wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I asked carefully and found out the guards on duty, but the guards only saw the exit sign and did not see who was in the carriage."
"I wonder which nobleman's carriage belongs to the palace?" Zhou Xing felt that this was illogical.
"Yes, it is the carriage of Qiankun Palace, and the jade medal for leaving the palace is also given by His Majesty. Seeing this jade medal is like seeing His Majesty in person, and you can freely enter and exit the palace without checking the carriage." Zhao De replied cautiously.
Zhou Xing did not expect such a survey result.
So his actions are always under the control of his father?
No, my father was at the banquet at the time, and he showed up later. In other words, this person can only be a favorite whom my father trusted.
How could he not know that his father had such a favorite beside him?
"Who is my father's most favored minister?!" Zhou Xing thought thoughtfully.
This stopped Zhao De.
His Majesty, King Qin, should know better who your Majesty trusts the most. How does he know which minister your Majesty trusts the most?
"I don't know." Zhao De couldn't answer.
Zhou Xing couldn’t answer it himself.
He thought that the person his father trusted most was himself, and one of the most trusted ministers must be Wan Qinghou, who happened to be Liu Chaoyan's future husband. Maybe Wan Qinghou would know who this person was?
But is it possible?
Wan Qinghou knew who that person was, but he didn’t?
After having this idea, Zhou Xing couldn't sit still and planned to go to Wanqinghou's Mansion in person to find out what happened to Wanqinghou.
It's a pity that Liu Shuzheng is not Wan Qinghou, otherwise the Liu family will definitely stand on their side unconditionally.
Wan Qinghou is more difficult to deal with than Liu Shuzheng, he is a slippery man.
Liu Junyan is the legitimate daughter of Wan Qinghou. She is aloof and arrogant. He does not like Liu Junyan, otherwise the person he proposed to marry in the first place should be Liu Junyan.
Marquis Wan Qing did not expect that Zhou Xinghui would suddenly come to visit him at his house and ask him a fatal question.
"What did His Majesty King Qin say?" Regarding His Majesty's eldest son, Wan Qinghou could only act stupid.
As soon as His Highness King Qin asked this question, he knew it was Zhou Mu who was asking.
Only Zhou Mu can get the jade medal for entering and exiting the palace given by His Majesty. No one else but Zhou Mu can think of it.
Zhou Xing patiently asked again: "Who is the one who can get the palace jade tablet from the father? The Marquis is a favorite of the father and may know the truth?"
He kept staring at Wan Qinghou's expression, but did not see the change in Wan Qinghou's expression. Either Wan Qinghou really didn't know, or Wan Qinghou was pretending to be stupid.
"No matter how I say that I and Marquis Wan Qing are my own family members, there is no need for the Marquis to hide it from me." Zhou Xing also intended to win over Marquis Wan Qing.
Wan Qinghou took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "The last time I went into the palace to see His Majesty alone was two months ago. I didn't know that there was such a person in the palace."
He didn't lie. It's just that His Majesty came to the Marquis Mansion not long ago, and it was indeed two months ago that His Majesty met with him alone in the palace.
Zhou Xingjian couldn't get an answer, so he couldn't continue to pester him.
After leaving the study, he looked in the direction of Xiyuan.
Gu Xiyan was hit by medicine yesterday, who helped her cure it? Gu Xiyan must know who her savior is.
The medicine that Zhao De prescribed was very potent, and the person who took it was confused and turned into a slut. Even a chaste and fierce woman would turn into a slut. With a woman as pretty as Xi Yan, what man could resist seeing her take the initiative?
Could it be that Xiyan's body has been defiled by other men?
He must be a man to receive the jade medal given by his father to leave the palace, right?
Thinking of this, he ignored Emperor Chengde's warning and went to Xiyuan, insisting on asking questions clearly.
Zhao De chased after Zhou Xing, trying to stop him: "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace, we can't let anything happen again!"
Zhou Xing didn't listen, he just wanted an answer.
Gu Xiyan almost lost her innocence in the palace yesterday. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to go out. She never thought that Zhou Xing would have the nerve to break into her villa.
Her mind went blank for a moment when Zhou Xing barged in. When she regained her senses, she whispered to Shen's mother: "Go and ask the old lady to come over."
The gloom in Zhou Xing's eyes at this moment reminded her of Zhou Xing's appearance in his previous life when he went crazy. Once Zhou Xing went crazy, he could do anything.
The next moment, Zhou Xing came to Gu Xiyan, grabbed her by the skirt of her clothes, and ordered evilly: "Xiyan, let me see your body!"
