Zhao Qian looked obviously nervous, "Did we just bump into him?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know what it is..." Zhao Jin cupped his hands and asked.
In fact, Zhao Jin knew that she should be Concubine Shu, Zhao Xingzhi's mother-in-law.
He originally thought that the two of them just looked similar, but he never imagined that they would be so similar that they were almost blatantly looking for a substitute.
No wonder Zhao Xingzhi was so suspicious that he couldn't help but tell him directly.
If it were him, and Zhao Xingzhi saw Concubine Shu before he saw Mrs. Ning, he would probably have the same doubts.
Although Zhao Jin knew it, he could never let Zhao Qian know it.
Zhao Qian was silent for a moment, "She is Concubine Shu, and she is also the mother-concubine of the fourth child."
He kept staring closely at Zhao Jin's expression, trying to discern something from it.
"That's it," Zhao Jin murmured in a low voice, then smiled and said, "Concubine Shu and my mother-in-law look somewhat similar. I was in a daze for a moment."
Zhao Gan clenched his hands into fists. He didn't know how to answer Zhao Jin's words for a moment, so he just reluctantly changed the subject, "Well, I have an audience with Marquis Xuanping, but what's the important matter?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jin slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about it."
"Yue Wanzhao."
Zhao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Recruited?"
He sat down slowly and said in a deep voice: "Bring the people up!"
"yes."
Zhao Jin went down first and, together with the minister of Dali Temple, took Yue Wan from Dali Temple to the royal study.
When the three of them returned to the imperial study, they saw the prince inside.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhao Jin bowed without changing his expression.
Zhao Xingyu smiled and said: "No need to be polite."
Behind Zhao Jin and the Minister of Dali Temple was Yue Wan, who was being escorted by two minor officials of Dali Temple.
At this time, Yue Wan still has the majesty of the eldest palace maid when she was in Concubine Shu's palace?
He was in a mess, with whip marks all over his body, his hair was messy, there were fingerprints on his cheeks and a lot of dirt.
"Slave, please see Your Majesty."
Yue Wan almost knelt on the ground and saluted, looking extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Qian stared at her with a gloomy face, "Tell me! Who instigated you to do this!"
"Yes, it's Concubine Lan." Yue Wan said with a trembling voice, obviously extremely frightened.
Zhao Jin's expression remained unchanged. Yue Wan had already done it in Dali Temple.
Concubine Lan?
Except for Zhao Jin and the Minister of Dali Temple, who already knew, everyone looked shocked.
Yue Wan is the eldest maid in Concubine Shu's palace. They originally thought that this matter should be related to Concubine Shu. How come the person the maid finally confessed to was Concubine Lan?
Zhao Qian suddenly slapped the dragon case and said angrily: "How dare you! As the eldest maid of Concubine Shu's palace, how can you do things for Concubine Lan?!"
"Being deceived and disrespectful is an additional crime! You'd better think clearly before you speak!"
Before Yue Wan confessed, Zhao Qian first suspected Concubine Shu.
That's why Zhao Qian was so angry when Concubine Shu came to plead for Yue Wan and apply eye drops to Dali Temple, and he didn't show any kindness to Concubine Shu.
Everyone is suspicious of the people Yue Wan confessed to.
Yue Wan kowtowed violently on the ground, "Your Majesty! Everything I said is true. I don't dare to deceive you at all!"
The voice was mournful and sharp, accompanied by the dull sound of kowtow, which made people feel a little unbearable.
"My servant used to work in Concubine Lan's palace. Later," Yue Wan added, "Although I was transferred to Concubine Shu's palace, I still worked for Concubine Lan."
After hearing this, everyone had different expressions.
Zhao Qian turned his head and winked at Shouquan.
Shouquan understood and left the imperial study room quietly.
"You said this was done by Concubine Lan. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Yue Wan said hurriedly: "There is a jade bracelet hidden in the slave's pillow. It was Concubine Lan who rewarded the slave for doing this."
"Come here! Go search!"
The guards immediately went to Yue Wan's residence to search.
Everyone was waiting for the search results, but no one said anything for a while.
Zhao Qian relaxed his body slightly, leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and half-closed his eyes. Only the violent rise and fall of his chest showed that he was not calm in his heart.
A matter involving evil spirits first involved the Imperial Master, and now it also involves Concubine Lan.
and……
Why did Concubine Lan bother to do this?
The various actions of the concubines in the harem were either to maintain their status or to win his favor.
But Li Gui's incident clearly put him in a dangerous situation. It was definitely not for his favor, so he had no choice but to keep his position.
As the only noble concubine in Zhao country, Concubine Lan is second only to the queen and has a respected status. She wants to keep her status...
Third child!
Zhao Qian's hand on the armrest tightened slightly and he firmly held the armrest of the dragon chair.
The anger of the emperor at the head was so obvious that everyone was silent and no one dared to speak out.
Even the prince stood aside silently and watched.
Zhao Jin, who brought Yue Wan, also stood aside without saying a word.
The subsequent interrogation will obviously be conducted by Zhao Qian himself, and he does not need to take action.
In this way, he only needs to watch the show from the side.
The first to come back were the guards. A tall guard directly handed the found items to Zhao Qian.
It was a jade bracelet, with a clear color and crystal clear jade. It was obviously a piece of fine jade.
Zhao Qian took the bracelet and played with the jade bracelet in his hand, his expression dark and unclear.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I found it inside the pillow."
Yue Wan said quickly: "Your Majesty! I dare not deceive Your Majesty. This bracelet was given to me by the imperial concubine after I made this."
"But because the imperial concubine had worn this jade bracelet before, the slave did not dare to take it out for fear of being discovered by someone interested, so she hid the jade bracelet in the pillow."
Everything Yue Wan said could fit in every sentence, not to mention that now she has found this jade bracelet.
Zhao Xingyu couldn't help but ask: "Father, is this jade bracelet really..."
Zhao Qian grabbed the jade bracelet, his face darkened, "It belongs to Concubine Lan."
A few days ago, he saw this bracelet when he went to Concubine Lan's palace.
At that time, he asked casually, and Concubine Lan said that it was sent by the Lan family.
Zhao Qian had not heard of any thefts in Concubine Lan's palace, but now that the bracelet was in Yue Wan's hands, it had to make people suspicious.
A burst of footsteps came from outside the hall, and soon after, Shou Quan appeared in front of everyone.
"How?" Zhao Qian stared at the jade bracelet in his hand, but the anger in his tone could hardly be suppressed.
Shou Quan bowed and saluted Zhao Qian, "Report to your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"Yue Wan was originally a maid serving in Concubine Lan's Palace, but was later transferred to Concubine Shu's Palace."
Shouguan paused, glanced at Yue Wan, and continued: "Moreover, Yue Wan has been to Concubine Lan's palace in private."
"The last, the latest time was five days ago."
Five days ago?
