You Kouyi looked at Dongling Yuanyong. She opened her trembling lips and was about to say something. Eunuch Cao walked in and saluted Dongling Yuanyong briefly and said:
"Your Majesty, Prince Hao sent someone to report that they couldn't find anything useful from the two crooks at the Imperial Medical Clinic and the Procurement Department, so Prince Hao decided to clean them up."
"If you can't pry it out, you can't pry it out! However, the reason why the "Yuanmen" arranged for Xiazhuo to be in the "Procurement Department" is to spread the news about leaving the palace, but why did they place Xiazhuo in the Imperial Medical Center? Is there any panacea in the Imperial Medical Center that they are rare?
?”
Dongling Yuanyong asked without getting angry or annoyed, as if he already disdained the trouble caused by the "enemies" in the palace.
Eunuch Cao replied:
"The point your Majesty was puzzled about was revealed. It was said that the spy was lurking in the Imperial Medical Center in order to investigate the condition of the Queen's body."
"Oh~" Dongling Yuanyong said in a long "sudden" voice: "Forget it they are monitoring the queen in Lengyue Palace, what can they find out by going to the Imperial Medical Clinic?"
"The Queen Empress has been taking medicine frequently to check her pulse recently, and the imperial medical office has kept records of it. People who want to check the Queen's body probably suspect that there are some secrets in the Queen's body that can be used, so they go to the Imperial Medical Office to wait for a secret.
There is no secret in the Queen's body, and they are really powerless."
The speaker who spoke Eunuch Cao was intentional, and the listener was even more attentive! You Kouyi now fully understood why Dongling Yuanyong wasted so much time to let her see so much and listen to so much.
He had only one purpose, he was warning her that she only had one chance to be safe and sound.
Ximen Yourong always thought that You Kouyi just arranged for Qiaoer to monitor her, but she really didn't know that You Kouyi had made other arrangements.
From Eunuch Cao's words, she also heard other meanings, that is, You Kouyi began to notice something strange about her body, so You Kouyi wanted to find out what was wrong with her body.
In fact, it is not so absolute that she is suffering from cold poison and cannot be made public. If she is just an ordinary person and can make it public, then what is the fear?
However, she is a queen now, and her position is too extraordinary. Especially after she falls in love with Dongling Yuanyong, she has to consider more than just herself. Her physical defects will become a problem if she is not careful.
A handle that others can use!
If Dongling Yuanyong wants to depend on her, he will inevitably have to confront some forces, but he must also consider the balance of the forces.
This is also the reason why he can't punish You Kouyi directly even though he knows he made a mistake.
Dongling Yuanyong felt Ximen Yourong's depressed aura, and he knew that she was probably tired.
So, he didn't want to waste time anymore and said to Eunuch Cao:
"Since it doesn't matter, and the matter has come to an end, those who want to cause trouble must also know that they should restrain themselves. Here's the order, if such evil things happen again in the palace in the future, no matter what the cost, they must be investigated thoroughly until the investigation is completed.
Once the person behind the scenes is found out, no matter whether he is a gangster or a member of the royal family, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, I obey the order!"
After Eunuch Cao finished speaking, Dongling Emperor Yuan Yong looked at You Kouyi again and said quietly:
"Okay, that's it for today. The imperial concubine seems to be in bad condition. It's better to go back and rest early!"
At this point, he gave instructions to Eunuch Cao:
"Tell Dr. Ai to go to Xiangyun Palace and wait there. When the concubine returns, let him take her pulse to see if she is okay!"
"Concubine...thank you, Your Majesty!"
You Kouyi stood up with a pale face and bowed to Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong. But when she reached the entrance, You Kouyi paused, as if he was hesitating for something.
Then, she slowly turned around and walked back to them, knelt down on the ground and said as if she was dead:
"Your Majesty, the Queen, I, my concubine... have something to say!"
Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong looked at each other, then looked at You Kouyi and said:
"Your Majesty, feel free to say what you want, why do you have to kneel down so seriously?"
You Kouyi slowly straightened up and said calmly:
"My concubine has done something worthy of death, please Your Majesty and the Queen to punish her!"
Dongling Yuanyong's eyebrows flashed:
"Concubine You, what do you mean?"
"I was the one who had the audacity to rent a shadow person from the "Enemy Gate" to sneak into the palace and try to monitor the Queen's every move. It was also because I thought I had some leverage on the Queen's body, so I committed a capital crime!"
As You Kouyi spoke, she lay on the ground again. Her body in gorgeous clothes looked so frightened, as if she would die in the next moment.
Dongling Yuanyong didn't say anything immediately. He picked up the tea cup and looked at the light-colored tea in the cup and was silent for a while. Then he looked at Ximen Yourong who was also silent and asked with a smile:
"What did the Queen think after hearing what Concubine You said?"
Ximen Yourong's calm face showed no hint of what she was thinking, which was why Dongling Yuanyong deliberately asked her.
However, Ximen Yourong poured himself a cup of tea without haste, took a sip and then said quietly:
"Concubine You, please get up first!"
No one could see You Kouyi's face lying down, so her frowning expression was well hidden. But when she raised her head and straightened up, she regained her calm look as if she was waiting to be punished.
Ximen Yourong saw that You Kouyi was still kneeling, and she no longer insisted on letting her stand up. Anyway, You Kouyi might not get up if she screamed. She looked at You Kouyi and asked:
"Concubine You thinks that I am not qualified to be the queen, so she wants to see how virtuous I am and enter the harem?"
"That's right in the beginning! I heard that your Majesty placed the Queen in an abandoned palace when he first brought the Queen into the palace. I thought that Your Majesty hated the Queen, because the Queen was just a helpless person to Your Majesty.
Choice, I was only thinking about relieving His Majesty's worries, so I thought I was right and did some wrong things in an attempt to damage the image of the Queen."
"Are you just relieving people's worries?" There was a faint sneer on Dongling Yuanyong's lips!
"Not only! There is also my selfishness. I once thought too highly of myself, thinking that I was more qualified to accompany His Majesty! I thought that since the Queen is a problem to His Majesty, I might as well make the Queen lose the qualification to be the Queen.
, I can also have a greater chance of standing together with Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty and the Queen have been in love with each other since their wedding. Only then did I realize that I had made a mistake in my judgment. However, I had made a mistake earlier.
Before the arrangement could be completed, Your Majesty has already discovered the existence of the shadow person of the "Enemy Sect", which makes me feel anxious and uneasy every day. Today, Your Majesty is still thinking about me wholeheartedly, and I feel even more guilty!"
You Kouyi lay on the ground, her whole body looked so weak that I felt pity for her!
"Although I have known about the existence of the "Enemy Sect" shadow person for a long time, I have not found out that you are the person behind the scenes, and I do not intend to pursue it. As long as the noble concubine does not admit it, the matter is actually over. How can the noble concubine?
And you took the initiative to admit this crime?"
Dongling Yuanyong had to admit that You Kouyi's sudden reversal was actually beyond his expectation.
He originally thought that even if she knew he was warning her, she would step on the steps he gave You Kouyi.
However, I didn't expect that You Kouyi would put himself to death like this, which inadvertently put him in a passive role!
You Kouyi looked at Dongling Yuanyong. She lowered her head and replied to his question with a face full of regret:
"The reason why I want to confess my sins is because I see that Your Majesty and the Queen have a heart-to-heart relationship, and they are no longer forced as I thought. Therefore, I sincerely repent and sincerely wish Emperor Dacheng to live forever."
We are of the same mind. As for whether Your Majesty and the Queen can forgive my sins, it is entirely up to the Emperor and the Queen to decide!"
As You Kouyi said, she lay down on the ground again and waited for punishment. However, Dongling Yuanyong was too lazy to act at this time, but he didn't say anything to You Kouyi, and asked Ximen Yourong:
"Rong'er, since Concubine You is the one who offended you, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, do you want me to make a decision?"
"You are the master of the harem, so naturally you have the final say in the affairs of the harem!"
Dongling Yuanyong's tone of "passing the blame" made Ximen Yourong glance at him, he was planning to make her a bad guy again.
But today is different from the past. Ximen Yourong will not be cautious and afraid of offending him. She looked at You Kouyi and said:
"What Concubine You confessed really surprised me. However, if I go by Concubine You's explanation, I don't think Concubine You is guilty of much. And since Concubine You confessed frankly and repented, I think this matter can be reduced to a minor matter.
"
"No punishment?" Dongling Yuan Yongqu raised his eyebrows.
"This matter is entirely Concubine You's fault. Your Majesty is the one who should be responsible!"
"How did this become my fault?" Dongling Yuanyong was a little unhappy.
"His Majesty indeed threw me into the abandoned palace as soon as he took me into the palace. Not to mention that no one could handle me at first. As a queen, the food and clothing expenses were not as good as those of ordinary palace people. If I were Concubine You, I would definitely think that your Majesty has nothing to do with it.
I don't want to see the queen chosen by my ancestors for your majesty. Since I am not taken seriously by your majesty, Concubine You, who is the most noble daughter in Dacheng, will certainly think that I, a sinner's daughter who is not outstanding in everything, is not qualified to be your majesty's queen.
Therefore, Your Majesty is responsible for the mistakes made by Concubine You."
Ximen Yourong seemed to state the facts impartially, but in fact she took the opportunity to ridicule Dongling Yuanyong.
Her sarcasm also made Dongling Yuanyong narrow his eyes. Of course he understood that she was not talking about You Kouyi, but that she was settling old scores with him.
However, he did abuse her. No, he never abused her. At most, he treated her badly for a period of time. But this is not the focus of the discussion now. He groaned uncomfortably and glanced at Ximen Yourong and said:
"You said you're off topic... first tell me how you want to make things as big as possible and make things as small as possible?"
Ximen Yourong received his dissatisfied and aggrieved look. She smiled faintly and pretended not to see his annoyance. She looked at You Kouyi and ordered:
"Concubine You, although you made a mistake, you were sincere in your regrets, and the mistake you made did not cause much harm. Considering that your original intention was to consider His Majesty, you will be exempted from heavy punishment. But it is a mistake.
Well, I’ll punish you by shutting yourself up and thinking about it for a month!”
After Ximen Yourong handed down the punishment to You Kouyi, before You Kouyi could reply, she ordered several palace people in the room:
"What you saw and heard in this room today, your Majesty and I don't want to hear any comments outside!"
The palace people responded "yes" in unison to show that they understood her order!
