Seeing Bai Yutian's arrival, Concubine Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and rushed to Bai Yutian's side, sobbing softly.
"My beloved, please don't cry." Bai Yutian patted Concubine Yun on her back and comforted her softly.
In the Tai Chi Hall, a wooden token was quietly placed on the ground, with the six characters "Gu Lianxi's Spiritual Position" written on it.
The color of the words was maroon, and it looked like they were written with blood.
In the Zhou Dynasty, it was taboo to write the spiritual status of a living person with blood, as it meant that the person was being cursed for bad luck and early death, which was a very vicious method.
Once upon a time, a cult appeared in Dazhou and used this method.
Because it was so effective and vicious, it was explicitly banned by the Zhou royal family, and an order was issued that if any person or organization showed up to such a thing, their home would be confiscated and beheaded immediately, and they would not be tolerated.
Thinking of this, Bai Yutian felt that his mind went blank and his movements froze.
At this moment, Gu Lianxi's clothes were messy, her face was stained with tears, and she looked pitiful.
According to her, she came to visit Concubine Yun Gui today and accidentally discovered this spiritual tablet on Concubine Yun's bed. At that time, many people could prove that this spiritual tablet was found under Concubine Yun's pillow, and Concubine Yun could not argue.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yun is now suspected of using such vicious means and should be questioned immediately."
A man in armor walked forward, cupped his fists and said to Bai Yutian.
"Go away, how to deal with it, it's not your turn to deal with it." Bai Yutian shouted and drove this person out.
He knew that Concubine Yun was definitely wronged. Bai Yutian could trust Concubine Yun's character and humanity.
Moreover, Bai Yutian had stayed in Tai Chi Hall for several days. If there was something strange, it was impossible for Bai Yutian not to notice it.
At this moment, there were many people inside and outside the Tai Chi Hall, and they all knew about today's incident.
This matter is neither a big deal nor a small matter, but as a noble concubine, Yun Qing not only cursed Gu Lianxi, but also used such vicious methods. If she really followed the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, she would not be able to escape the punishment of beheading.
Even if Bai Yutian wanted to protect Concubine Yun, there were so many people here, and he couldn't possibly kill them all. The matter would have to be leaked sooner or later.
By that time, even if he did not punish Concubine Yun, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty and the royal family and nobles would not be able to tolerate her.
Moreover, if he does not deal with this matter, it will only affect the royal family's face and make people embarrassed.
"Tell me, what happened?" Bai Yutian looked at Gu Lianxi coldly. As the first witness, she naturally knew the whole story.
"Your Majesty makes the decision for me!" Gu Lianxi leaned over like a little bird and said softly.
Next, Gu Lianxi told the general story, which was basically consistent with what he saw at the scene. However, Bai Yutian's face was gloomy. This was all a coincidence. It happened that Gu Lianxi discovered this spiritual position as soon as he came.
"Gu Guifei, please go back to Suyue Palace first. I will naturally give you justice for this matter." After understanding what happened, Bai Yutian waved his hand and said to Gu Lianxi.
Now that the matter has come to this, he can only stabilize the situation first and prevent it from spreading.
"As for Concubine Yun Gui, she is temporarily detained in Tai Chi Hall. She is not allowed to go anywhere except Tai Chi Hall."
Compared with being thrown into the cold palace, being grounded can be regarded as the lightest punishment, and the grounding is only temporary. When the matter is found out, Concubine Yun will naturally be in peace.
Bai Yutian's punishment naturally made many people dissatisfied, especially Gu Lianxi. She cried and hugged Bai Yutian, and her weak and boneless body took advantage of the situation to wrap around Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian felt the jade body so close at hand, and couldn't help but feel evil fire rising in his heart.
This woman is simply too evil, her whole body is full of charm.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Lianxi's adoptive father was Gu Taizhong, I'm afraid Bai Yutian wouldn't be able to resist this woman's temptation.
"Don't worry, my beloved, I will definitely find out the truth and won't let any bad guys go. You can go to Suyue Palace and wait for the news for the time being." Bai Yutian said with his forehead in hand, just wanting to get rid of Gu Lianxi as soon as possible.
Gu Lianxi kept sobbing, hugging Bai Yutian and refusing to let go, "Your Majesty, I can go back to Suyue Palace, but can Your Majesty come to Suyue Palace to stay with me tonight? I am scared to be alone."
After what happened today, Bai Yutian couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. After all, Gu Lianxi had plenty of reasons.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian was very helpless. Even though he was reluctant, he could only nod his head, "I will go to Suyue Palace tonight."
Hearing what Bai Yutian said, Gu Lianxi let go of her arms that were tightly holding Bai Yutian. There were tears on her face. With this beautiful face, people couldn't help but rush over to protect her.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished, but this matter has nothing to do with Yuncheng and the Yun family, so I would like to ask your Majesty to tell you clearly." Concubine Yun had a complicated face and walked over slowly.
She had a clear conscience and knew that she had never done it.
But, after all, the spirit tablet was found in her palace, and everyone in the harem knew that she and Gu Lianxi were at odds.
There is both motive and ability, so any excuse is pale.
"Don't worry, I will find out."
At this moment, Bai Yutian only felt a headache.
Although Yun Qing's matter has nothing to do with the Yun family, it does not mean that it will not affect the Yun family.
Yuncheng had just been promoted to the third rank and was appointed Prime Minister, and other members of the Yun family had also benefited more or less, and now they were all prosperous.
It is conceivable that someone will definitely use this matter to make a fuss and impeach everyone in the Yun family.
In fact, Yunchengdu may not be able to keep this position.
Bai Yutian felt so depressed that he ordered the Taiji Palace to be sealed, and then controlled all the eunuchs and maids who knew the news.
At the same time, Bai Yutian mobilized everyone from the Criminal Department and the Law Enforcement Department to quickly investigate the matter and thoroughly investigate all suspicious persons who entered and exited Tai Chi Hall within half a month.
However, how could such a huge move be concealed for so long? The news was eventually revealed.
"Within three days, the investigation results must be obtained, otherwise, you will take off this black gauze hat yourself." Bai Yutian's anger was rising at this moment, and he wanted to vent his anger.
In front of him, kneeling were Chen Hong, Cao Shan and others, including Qiao Che, the Minister of Punishment.
Qiao Che wanted to cry but had no tears. He had just completely stood in Bai Yutian's camp, and he encountered such a difficult matter. God knows what happened to the spiritual position in Taiji Hall.
"Your Majesty, calm down. This matter is too strange. Why didn't you discover it sooner or later? But Concubine Gu discovered it when she came to Tai Chi Hall." Chen Hong calmed down and said cautiously.
"Hmph, of course I have thought of it, but now, with all the witnesses and physical evidence, there is no way to prove that Yun Qing did not place the soul in the place." Bai Yutian said distressedly.
Several people looked at each other and then said at the same time: "I will do my best to investigate and find the real culprit."
Bai Yutian was feeling depressed, so he waved his hand and asked them to leave the imperial study room.
