After the virtuous concubine finished speaking, she hurried back to the bedroom through the secret passage. After closing the secret passage again, she quickly adjusted her state.
The one who came with the Imperial Guards was Eunuch Li. Just as they were about to come in, Dan Meng said that the virtuous concubine was changing clothes.
Eunuch Li did not dare to offend Concubine Xian too much, so he gave her some time.
When Concubine Xian came out, she looked at Eunuch Li with a calm expression.
"Eunuch Li, you have worked hard. I wonder who has angered His Majesty so much that he has resorted to such a large-scale war."
The virtuous concubine wanted to find out what happened, but Eunuch Li didn't know much about it, so he could only smile and say "forgiveness".
The virtuous concubine did not make things difficult for them. She just told them to be gentle and let the imperial guards go in to investigate.
Although Concubine Xian appeared calm on the surface, she was actually extremely panicked.
Although the secret passage was very hidden, these Royal Guards had all undergone special training, so she was not absolutely sure.
The virtuous concubine appeared calm as she allowed the imperial guards to inspect her. Soon, the guards came out with nothing.
When Concubine Xian saw this, a smile appeared on her face. Just when she thought she could safely escape this disaster, a noise suddenly came from the bedroom.
The virtuous concubine was startled and tried to cover up.
"Where did this wild cat come from? Dan Meng, hurry up and catch it."
Dan Meng hurriedly wanted to go in to check, but a man rushed out from the Royal Guards and ran straight towards the sound.
"My lady is offended."
These imperial guards were directly under the emperor, and Eunuch Li had no choice but to step forward and apologize.
The Royal Guards rushed straight to the place where the secret room was.
The virtuous concubine's heart was in her throat, so she had no mood to greet Eunuch Li.
Fortunately, there was no movement in the secret passage at this moment, and the royal guards were just touching the wall aimlessly.
In the secret passage, Wang Weimin's eyelids were twitching violently for some reason.
He listened closely to the sounds outside the secret passage and heard a lot of footsteps. He was so frightened that he dared not make a sound.
He was worried that the secret passage was not safe, so he wanted to see if the people outside the secret passage had left.
As a result, when he came to the exit door, he found that there were more than a dozen snakes lying there.
The sound he made was because he was frightened by the snakes and couldn't control himself.
Fortunately, the little snakes didn't chase him, so he was able to cover his lips.
However, before he could feel relieved, he saw some smoke suddenly coming in from the crack in the door outside.
He was afraid it might be poisonous, so he covered his mouth and nose tightly and didn't dare to let go.
But he didn't know that the smoke was not aimed at him, but at the group of snakes at the door.
After the smoke filled the air, the snakes were stimulated by the smell of the smoke and began to move.
When Wang Weimin saw this, his heart was in his throat. He no longer cared about anything else and went to the concubine's bedroom.
He was very fast and when he ran to the door of the bedroom, the snakes had not yet arrived.
He put down his hand and put his ear to the door of the secret passage to listen. When he heard that there seemed to be no movement outside, he felt relieved.
At this moment, the snakes had already caught up.
In order to avoid being bitten by the snakes, he had to grit his teeth and push open the door of the secret room.
The Royal Guards were listening quietly against the wall when the door of the secret room suddenly opened. The Royal Guardsman fell directly into the secret room.
When Wang Weimin saw the figure rushing towards him, he subconsciously reached out his hand, but ended up bumping into a surprised imperial guard.
The Royal Guards took a while to react and shouted coldly.
"Who is it? How dare you dig a secret passage and trespass into the harem?"
When Wang Weimin heard this, he wanted to run away immediately, but before he could turn around, he was grabbed by the collar by the Royal Guards.
Wang Weimin was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he thought to himself that it was all over. Just as the virtuous concubine behind him was about to speak, she saw a group of snakes rushing out of the secret passage.
"There's a snake."
The virtuous concubine was frightened and quickly hid behind the scenes. Others heard the noise and hurried over to check.
Soon, the few small snakes were killed by the royal guards.
Eunuch Li looked at Wang Weimin who appeared in Concubine Xian's palace in confusion.
"Master Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Weimin was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, unable to make a sound. Seeing this, Eunuch Li had no choice but to take him to Shangguandu.
Shangguan Du was suspecting that he was cursed, but he was surprised to see a man appear in his harem.
Looking at Wang Weimin kneeling on the ground, Shangguandu's face was filled with viciousness.
"Go check. I want to see where the secret passage of my harem concubine leads to."
The Royal Guards had already sent people to investigate when they discovered the secret passage, but they haven't come back to reply yet.
Shangguan Du looked at Wang Weimin and Concubine Xian who were trembling in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.
"My Lord, why are you in the virtuous concubine's bedroom?"
The virtuous concubine knew Shangguan Du's character best, and judging from his appearance at this moment, he must have had murderous intentions.
Without waiting for Wang Weimin to speak, Concubine Xian immediately took herself out.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I really didn't know there was a secret passage in the bedroom."
As she said this, Concubine Xian fell to the ground in front of Shangguan Du and started crying.
"Your Majesty, please believe me. I love you so much, how could I possibly do anything to let you down?"
"Besides, I still have Yu'er. Even if I am stupid, I will not joke about Yu'er's future."
Shangguan Du looked at Concubine Xian coldly without saying a word. When Wang Weimin saw Concubine Xian mentioned Prince Yu, he thought about it again and again and finally took all the charges.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I had someone secretly dig the secret passage. I deserve death. This has nothing to do with the Empress Xian and Prince Yu."
