Nan Shaotian helped her up and said, "This is not your fault. You are tired today, go back and have a good rest."
"I'll take my leave." Bei Yutang said nothing more.
As soon as Bei Yutang left, Nan Shaotian summoned the secret guards and said, "I want to know the truth."
"Yes." He came and went without a trace.
As soon as Bei Yutang came back, Jin Chai and Jin Zhuo hurried forward to greet her.
"Empress, are you okay?" Both Jin Chai and Jin Zhuo were worried that the emperor would blame their master, but in this matter, their master was innocent.
Bei Yutang saw the two girls frowning and said with a smile, "Is your queen made of paper? Is she so easily framed? Don't worry, the emperor will soon find out the truth."
The secret guards around the emperor are not there to do nothing. Besides, she has found a lot of witnesses for them. If the secret guards can't even find these witnesses, then the Southern Kingdom will be no match for them.
Of course, those witnesses weren't bribed to give false testimony, but rather they had 'accidentally' witnessed someone committing a crime. Those living in the harem knew how to protect themselves, and if they saw something like this, they would keep it secret.
When the secret guards find them, they will think they have stumbled upon the truth. Such witnesses are the best witnesses.
Coming to the hunting ground, knowing that someone would plot against you, if you don't prepare early, you deserve to die.
Seeing that their master's face was devoid of worry, the gold hairpin and the gold bracelet felt relieved. Just as their master had said, they had been in the harem for so many years, encountering countless frame-ups, but they had always escaped unscathed. They believed they could escape unscathed this time, too.
After all, the emperor still dotes on her master.
The two of them comforted themselves with this mentality.
When everyone was waiting to see Bei Yutang's joke, the secret guard placed a confession on Nan Shaotian's desk. When he finished reading it, his eyes narrowed.
"Defei!" A dangerous light flashed across Nan Shaotian's eyes.
San Dezi lowered his head. When the emperor called out the name of Consort De, he felt a sudden chill that made him shiver. Although he didn't know what was written on it, he could guess.
The danger that Concubine Liang encountered must have been caused by Concubine De.
Defei's father was the prime minister, the head of the civil service, so the emperor would probably have to take the previous dynasty into consideration when punishing her. The harem and the previous dynasty had always been complementary.
"How's it going with Concubine Liang?"
San Dezi's heart trembled, and he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang is fine now, she just needs more rest."
Nan Shaotian stood up and went straight to Concubine Liang's tent.
Just as Xia Yuwei finished drinking the medicine, Nan Shaotian arrived. He picked up a piece of candied fruit from the plate and fed it to her personally. Xia Yuwei snuggled into his arms.
"Shao Tian, maybe the prince and I are not destined to be together, so he left me. Regardless of whether the imperial concubine did it or not, I don't want you to hold her accountable. Her father is Marquis Zhongwu, the patron saint of our southern country. If Marquis Zhongwu becomes unhappy with you because of me, I, I will be uneasy." Xia Yuwei said pitifully, her eyes full of hidden grievances, and every word she said was to protect him and think about him.
Such touching words made Nan Shaotian feel even more guilty towards her. At the same time, he calmly praised the Bei family. Guardian God, what king would want a minister who cares more about the people than him?
