The three points have become six points, and the rest still need to be verified.
Your Majesty, let me see if you are truly as she says.
"What do you think, my beloved consort?" the Emperor asked the Consort beside him, his expression unusually gentle.
"Heh, then search. If we don't search tonight, Her Majesty the Empress will probably be unwilling to give up." The Consort was very grateful for the Emperor's trust in her. Since she had already broken ties with the Empress, there was no need to pretend anymore.
"How could you speak to me like that, sister? I was just..." The Empress was a little uneasy, not expecting the Consort to contradict her today.
"Alright, since we're going to search, let's search everything. Xu Hai, have the guards lead a search party through all the palaces in the inner palace. Also, send another team to Xuanhua Palace. I will personally lead the search."
The Emperor made the final decision and immediately ordered the chief eunuch to make the arrangements.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Xu received the order and quickly left.
[Oh ho, that unjustly accused father of mine is quite imposing, and he treats the people well; he's a good emperor.]
Your Majesty: That's right, I aspire to be an emperor for all ages.
Soon, Eunuch Xu arrived at Xuanhua Palace with a group of guards. The Emperor and his men searched the palace thoroughly but found nothing suspicious. However, they did find the Third Prince and Jing Le.
Jing Le's fair face is very cute, and her eyes reveal innocence.
He had met Jing Le before; she was Master Liao Wu's disciple, and he had asked her to look after him for a few days. He just hadn't expected her to be in Xuan Hua Palace. Could the voice he heard just now be her inner thoughts?
When the Empress saw the Third Prince, her pupils contracted sharply.
What happened?
Didn't the third brother die from poisoning?
Why are you here?
Is Jia Yue lying?
A series of questions lingered in her mind, but she concealed them well and quickly recovered.
But the old nanny Wu behind her was indeed terrified, trembling all over: "Third Prince..."
He shut his mouth at the last word under the stern gaze of the Empress.
It's her... Jing Le also saw the old nanny.
"Your Majesty, the investigation is complete, and there is nothing there," the head guard informed the others.
"Impossible... How could this be..." The Empress was incredulous, her usual composure long gone.
She hadn't expected that the Third Prince's side would fail, and Xuanhua Palace would also fail, as if someone was secretly working against her.
"Since it hasn't been found, the Empress can go back now. Guards, escort the Empress back to the palace." The Emperor ordered the guards to escort the Empress away, which was almost like a formality.
When he stepped into the Consort's palace, he could clearly see the excitement in the Empress's eyes, and he could also clearly see the disbelief in the Empress's eyes when he finally took nothing away.
And that whispered "Impossible" just now.
The Empress walked out of Xuanhua Palace in a daze, looking back at the brightly lit palace, her eyes burning with jealousy.
Her once gentle face became ferocious.
Why?
On what grounds?
In what way am I inferior to Gong Peishan? I am clearly your lawfully wedded wife.
No matter what, Gong Peishan was still a concubine.
When my son succeeds, I will be the most honored person in this Great Yong Dynasty.
"Heh, just wait and see. You'll all have to make way for my son. If we can't have him, then let's destroy him."
