The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 125 Everything is revealed?
Seeing that her master didn't even worry about business because of Su Youning, Ze Lan could only sigh helplessly, bowed her hands and then quietly exited the inner room.

Wan Guiquan of the East Factory was ordered to thoroughly investigate the mishap of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Su Youning and Concubine Zhe were grounded because of the testimony of the palace maid Xiaodie, and they seemed to be suspects, but unexpectedly, after Xiaodie was taken down from the Palace of Qinzheng, she hanged herself in the prison that night.

Xiaodie's death was strange, but even if she died, it did not change the confinement of Yanxi Palace and Caiyue Pavilion, and she was strictly guarded by guards.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if they want to thoroughly investigate the leak, they need to take someone to the Caiyue Pavilion to search for objects that could cause a fire or to find new witnesses.

Caiyue Pavilion is now like an airtight iron barrel, and it would be delusional to try to install witnesses.

The Hall of Yanxi Palace has Chu Yu in charge, and it is even more difficult to do something in the Hall of Yanxi Palace.

Fortunately, before Caiyue Pavilion was banned, Empress Lu had already made arrangements, and she was waiting for the people from Dongchang to go to search with the palace guards.

To everyone's surprise, Wan Guiquan took Dongchang and the palace guards to Caiyue Pavilion but returned empty-handed.

Caiyue Pavilion was as clean as white paper, not to mention the saltpeter that started the fire, not even a little alcohol.

Just when Wan Guiquan was at a loss and was about to discuss countermeasures with Queen Lu at night.

A timid eunuch was caught by a group of people on the way back to Qinzheng Hall to return to their orders.

The eunuchs would naturally complain at the beginning, but who were the Dongchang and the palace guards? Since they caught people with wretched behavior, they couldn't let them go.

After returning to Qinzheng Palace, the emperor ordered that this person be interrogated thoroughly.

The eunuch was taken to Dongchang, where Wan Guiquan and the emperor's guards were interrogated together.

But what was surprising was that the eunuch refused to speak after suffering countless punishments, and the trial continued until late at night. Wan Gui was tired and prepared to retry tomorrow.

But as soon as Wan Guiquan left Dongchang Prison, someone chased him to report.

"Duke, that man has recruited!"

Wan Guiquan's thin and long voice resounded in the dark night.

"What did you recruit?"

The person who caught up with the report trembled, looked up at Wan Guiquan, then lowered his head and quickly said a place.

Suddenly, Wan Guiquan let out a terrifying laugh, which seemed extraordinarily strange in this densely lit Dongchang.

"Okay, okay, our family really didn't expect that someone would dare to tamper with the land of Dongchang."

Immediately afterwards, the emperor's guards who accompanied Wan Guiquan to interrogate the eunuchs also came out. When they saw Wan Guiquan, they suddenly laughed.

"Wan Dugong, it seems that we have to go to the Broken Jade Palace overnight!"

late at night.

Everywhere in the palace has been resettled, only the glazed lamps in various places are still burning.

Dongchang and the guards in the palace held torches, and their footsteps sounded heavily on the palace road.

Everyone in the palace panicked when they heard this voice!

The matter of searching the palace was so intense that Wan Gui couldn't cover the sky with one hand, and the two parties led people to the Broken Jade Hall.

The imperial concubine Ling has already been settled, and she was very surprised to hear that the people from Dongchang came from Madam Su, and she was even more arrogant when she saw that the people who came were from the search for the palace.

"Ridiculous, is this palace where you can search if you want?"

Wan Guiquan knew that this matter could not be avoided, and since the people behind it planned it perfectly, even if they did not search the palace at this time, there would still be other "evidence" tomorrow.

"Imperial concubine, my servant was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case of the misuse of the palace banquet, please forgive me, if I harass my empress today, the slave will be sent before the emperor to ask for punishment in another day."

Seeing what Wan Guiquan said, Imperial Concubine Ling knew that she couldn't escape, but she still waved her hand to make way for other people in the hall despite her annoyance.

But she was not very anxious, the person who defected to her clearly said that she would match Wan Guiquan for her, and the two joined forces to re-establish the crown prince, but what is going on now!

I thought that this matter should bring Su Youning or Concubine Zhe down from the horse, but she never expected that she, who was so focused on watching the theater, would be involved in this matter unknowingly.

Surprisingly, the people of Dongchang actually found saltpeter, arsenic and other things that caused the fire in the eunuch's room in the Suiyu Temple.

Compared with the confession of the eunuch in Dongchang Prison, some things have been confirmed.

"Wan Dugong, who is the eunuch you are talking about? Why doesn't this Palace know anything about it?"

"How could these things be in the servant's room of this palace? Someone must have deliberately framed them."

Wan Guiquan frowned.

"Imperial Concubine, this matter is not as simple as you think. The eunuch captured by the servant is the eunuch on duty in the Suiyu Palace. I will wait for the servant to report to the emperor first."

That night, no one in the entire Broken Jade Palace slept well.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor, who had left the early court, announced to the Hall of Qinzheng all the people related to the mishap of the palace banquet.

Empress Lu, Concubine Ling, Su Youning, Chu Yu, Concubine Zhe, and Wan Gui who thoroughly investigated the case were all on the call.

Wan Guiquan first made a summary of the case investigation in the past two days.

After hearing this, the emperor put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the hall.

Only then did Concubine Ling know that the eunuch in her palace had admitted to setting fire to the palace banquet last night.

"Your Majesty, even if this matter was done by someone in the palace of the courtiers, it has nothing to do with the courtesans!"

As she spoke, she began to wipe the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, she was really wronged!

The matter at the palace banquet had nothing to do with her. As early as the night when she walked away, someone reminded her that she should prepare in advance to avoid being framed. A letter from Dongchang Wan Dugong sent Su Youning and Concubine Zhe to regret this matter. pot, and she only needs to help Queen Lu from the side.

Such a good deed made the imperial concubine naturally happy. Although she was dissatisfied with Queen Lu's actions, but now facing the enemy, it is also necessary to share the same hatred.

Unexpectedly, after many investigations, this case fell on the head of Suiyudian.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is really wronged."

Duke Wan listened to Concubine Ling's grievances, but felt helpless in his heart. The people who plotted against Concubine Ling naturally also plotted against him.

"Your Majesty, this servant also feels that something is wrong. If it is really what the imperial concubine did, why did the eunuch shrink back and appear in front of this servant? Doesn't this just hit the servant's hands?"

Empress Lu changed from her warm and gentle smile in the past, but today she always has a cold face.

But she was extremely flustered, she didn't know who had dug out the eunuch of Suiyudian, and she would voluntarily surrender to Dongchang.

Her two-handed preparation seemed to be seen through by others. At this moment, Empress Lu still does not believe that someone in the palace can cover the sky with one hand and dismantle all the things she has planned one by one.

Chu Yu on the side kept his head down, turning the white jade finger in his hand, and suddenly said in a cold voice after hearing Wan Guiquan's words.

"Why don't you bring the eunuch up so we can find out who is behind him?"

The emperor felt that what Chu Yu said was reasonable, and the eunuch was already waiting at the door.

With an order, the palace servants dragged the wounded eunuch into the hall.

At this moment, Wan Guiquan also understood that the person behind him was Chu Yu, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart that he really underestimated this cripple before.

Chu Yu supported his knees with his hands, and looked at the eunuch who was tortured on the ground with cold eyes.

"Who is the person behind you? Is it the imperial concubine or someone else?"

The mention of the word noble concubine made the noble concubine tremble, she was really wronged!

The eunuch looked into Chu Yu's eyes and suddenly opened his mouth.

"It's the queen, a slave ordered by the queen."

Empress Lu's cold face just now suddenly became solemn.

"Bold slave, you don't even care about the safety of your parents and brothers, and want to slander me?"
