Speaking of the Lichun Palace, it took Wang Chonghai a moment to realize that there lived a Goryeo princess of no rank or status.
But it is hard to imagine why this princess had the courage and ability to curse Concubine Heng, who was heavily protected by Emperor Qin Huan.
Wang Chonghai did not dare to delay for a moment, nor did he bother to apologize to the wronged Concubine Rong. He hurried to Lichun Palace to check the evidence.
Rong Fei's palace was halfway searched. Those who came to search only obeyed the orders of Emperor Qin Huan and did not care at all about how the Guanju Palace would be disturbed. Therefore, the Guanju Palace was now in a mess, and many boxes and chests were turned upside down.
"Zixing," Rong Fei was furious. She had been a princess since her childhood. After her country was destroyed and her family was ruined, she had never suffered any hardship and was secretly adopted by the Duke of Jin. After she came of age, she entered the palace and became Rong Fei, favored by the Empress Dowager and favored by the Emperor. She had never experienced such a great humiliation before. "Go, follow Wang Chonghai and the others, and see what happened."
Rong Fei guessed that this matter was related to the quality of the white jade.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Zixing took the order and went forward, and Wang Chonghai and others also quickened their pace and arrived at Lichun Palace.
In Lichun Palace, Jin Xiumin had been firmly controlled by the guards, and the only palace maid beside her, named Yuyan, was also suppressed. When Wang Chonghai arrived, he happened to see a young eunuch presenting evidence.
Wang Chonghai took a closer look and was immediately shocked!
"What a jerk! How could this thing appear in the palace?"
After saying that, he kicked the young eunuch and quickly ordered people to cover the evidence, which was the witchcraft doll that Bai Yuzhi saw in his dream, with cloth.
"I will report this to the Emperor. I'll trouble you, Commander, to keep an eye on them and make sure these two don't die."
At this time, there is no need to worry about Jin Xiumin and the palace maid Yuyan running away. With so many guards guarding these two weak women, they can't escape at all. The only thing to be afraid of is that these two people are afraid of Emperor Qin Huan's methods and commit suicide out of fear of punishment.
When Wang Chonghai came back to report, Bai Yuzhi was drinking water. Now, only water, which had no taste, could be swallowed smoothly without spitting it out.
"Your Majesty, we found it. The item is in Lichun Palace."
Emperor Qin Huan frowned and held the empty white jade teacup in his palm. He had no idea who lived in Lichun Palace. The only impression he had of Princess Goryeo was that this audacious woman had once said that his child was born out of wedlock and was of low status.
Bai Yuzhi struggled to her feet and said, "I want to go too. I want to ask why Princess Jin Xiumin did such a thing."
Emperor Qin Huan and the Empress Dowager tried to dissuade Bai Yuzhi but failed to change his mind and finally let him ride in the emperor's sedan chair to the Lichun Palace.
At this moment, the queen, as the master of the harem, also happened to arrive at the scene.
Emperor Qin Huan got off the imperial carriage and picked up Bai Yuzhi and carried her down. Now that her belly was big, she could no longer be carried like a princess, so he had to carry her. The Queen happened to see this scene.
The queen lowered her brows and said: "Greetings to Your Majesty. I heard the noise over here..." so I came to take a look.
Before she could finish her words, Emperor Qin Huan had already walked in on his own, without giving the empress any face at all.
The queen could only bow to the empress dowager awkwardly, but the empress dowager was holding Bai Yuzhi herself for fear that she would fall.
Bai Yuzhi said, "Empress Dowager, as an elder, how can I allow you to help me personally?"
The Queen Mother had a kind face: "Silly child, didn't I tell you to call me Queen Mother? Now that you are carrying my precious grandson, it is only natural for me to serve you in any way I can."
The two of them were having a great time and didn't even notice the queen.
The Queen's teeth were about to break, but she could only pretend that nothing had happened and entered the Lichun Palace. She did hear the noise, but it was not because the search was too loud, but because the Queen always asked Baoqin to pay attention to the news of the Lichun Palace.
Seeing that the matter was probably exposed now, the Queen, as the mastermind behind it, was naturally worried and came to take a look.
Inside the inner hall, Emperor Qin Huan had already looked at the political objects presented by Wang Chonghai. The moment he saw the tattered witchcraft doll, he was furious. He overturned the only table in the hall that was still acceptable, and all the teacups and other items on it fell on Jin Xiumin who was kneeling on the ground.
The servants were very observant. Seeing Emperor Qin Huan like this, they hurriedly grabbed Jin Xiumin, who was lying on the ground motionless as if dead. She was now bleeding profusely from being hit by the ceramic fragments, but she still stared at Emperor Qin Huan miserably.
"Your Majesty, I, your concubine, am innocent."
Jin Xiumin had already started to feel scared when someone came in to search the palace. She and the queen had planned everything well at the beginning, and they thought that no one would notice this remote Lichun Palace. But who could have thought that it would be discovered and the people would be caught red-handed.
She was determined to keep her word and only say that she was wronged, hoping that Emperor Qin Huan would spare her life.
If Bai Yuzhi knew what she was thinking, he would laugh at her for being so stupid.
This stupidity comes from what is known as "information isolation" in the modern sense.
Jin Xiumin was born in Goryeo. She didn't know what Bai Yuzhi and her son represented to Emperor Qin Huan. She stubbornly believed that Emperor Qin Huan would definitely pay attention to evidence. However, the current situation was that once this madman Qin Huandi was involved in the matter of Bai Yuzhi and her son, he would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let any one go.
So no matter whether Jin Xiumin admitted it or not, the voodoo doll was found in her possession. In the eyes of Emperor Qin Huan, she was guilty and would definitely not have a chance of survival.
Sure enough, Emperor Qin Huan kicked Jin Xiumin in the stomach without mercy. The force of the kick kicked Jin Xiumin, whose arms were still in the hands of the eunuch, out and hit the wall.
It's completely intended to kill people.
Only this time did Jin Xiumin feel scared, her mouth was full of blood from her ruptured internal organs. The Queen Mother covered her white jade eyes considerately to prevent her from seeing this unlucky thing.
Emperor Qin Huan looked at Jin Xiumin, who was lying on the ground spitting blood, as if he were looking at a dead body. "If you tell me who is behind this, I will give you a cup of poisoned wine. If you don't, you will be torn into pieces by five horses."
Jin Xiumin had inserted so many silver needles into the voodoo doll, and Emperor Qin Huan also noticed that she had pulled the limbs of the voodoo doll with the white jade birth date loose. In this case, sentencing her to be torn into pieces by five horses was very appropriate.
How could she, a princess who had lived in the deep palace of Goryeo for a long time, bear the threat of such a cruel punishment as being torn apart by five horses? Her limbs became limp and uncontrollable liquid flowed out from under her body.
"I tell you! I tell you!"
The queen looked unhappy and wanted to make Jin Xiumin shut up, but she was powerless.
"It's the Queen! It was the Queen who ordered me to do it! Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
