"My dear concubine, if he beats you, he can't be blamed on me.
Otherwise, how about I let him be executed in Lingchi and help you get rid of this bad breath?"
"Just cut his flesh one by one?"
"Well, yes."
"Okay then! Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Haha, okay, I'll call the imperial doctor for you to see the injury on your face."
Having said this, the emperor shouted to the door:
"Come here, call the imperial doctor."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
General Zhenyuan's Mansion.
Garden pavilion in the east wing.
Situ Xinghen, Sha Niu, and Li Haoran sat around the round table.
"Haoran, early tomorrow morning, I will take Sha Niu and set off to interrogate those officials."
"Why so urgent?"
"I thought about it for a moment. Concubine Han will never let it go when she is beaten.
Tomorrow, my father will definitely send someone to announce my entry into the palace. If I really say that silly girl contracted the epidemic and died, the consequences will be quite serious."
"Well, it will indeed be serious. If there is a plague in the capital, it will cause restlessness in the entire capital.
It would be unreasonable if she was the only one who contracted the plague."
Li Haoran nodded and said he should know.
"So, I want to leave General Zhenyuan's Mansion before my father sends someone to announce the decree.
More than a month later, when he returned to the capital, he said that the man who beat up the imperial concubine fell seriously ill and died on the way, so he could no longer investigate the matter."
"It seems that this is the only way to do it."
"I've thought about it. You and I will work separately. Each of us is responsible for investigating three people. I don't think the whole case will become clear in two months.
When I return to the capital, I can ask my father to convict Han Chutian, and I can also bring Silly Girl back to the palace and ask my father to marry her."
"Who said I wanted to marry you?"
As soon as Situ Xinghen finished speaking, Nangong Lan refuted directly.
"I have to agree even if I don't agree. After this case is over, I will definitely marry you. If my father doesn't agree, I will marry you without hesitation."
"Xinghen, have you really decided?"
Li Haoran asked worriedly.
After all, although Sha Niu said she disagreed, she had been thinking about this day in her heart for an unknown amount of time.
