Concubine Jia said, "You are just quibbling! Aunt, she must have used some seductive tricks, otherwise the Emperor wouldn't have stayed in Guanju Palace for a whole day and night, and even missed the morning court session!"
Empress Duan stopped her, saying, "Concubine Jia, please don't talk nonsense without evidence. Concubine Chen has always been an upright person, and I trust her."
Liangpin said, "Aunt, if Concubine Chen really used an aphrodisiac, then we can search the palace!"
Concubine Shu agreed, "Sister Liangpin is absolutely right."
Liangpin glared at her fiercely and said, "Don't try to get close to me. I will come out of seclusion this time to seek revenge. Just wait!"
The Empress Dowager ordered, "Come here, search Guanju Palace immediately."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The head nanny led her people to Guanju Palace.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Sheng Xiyan coldly, but she was calm and there was no sign of nervousness on her face.
Concubine Jia walked over with a cup of tea in her hand, opened the lid, and poured it over Sheng Xiyan's head.
Sheng Xiyan quickly dodged, and the water didn't get poured on her head, but instead poured onto her neck and all over her body.
"Empress!"
Coral ran over, knelt down and wiped the tea with a handkerchief.
Liangpin sneered, "Sister Luan'er, what are you going to do now that you've ruined my delicate skin?"
Concubine Jia laughed proudly and said, "It's not hot tea. I just want her to wake up and know who she is!"
The Queen Mother said, "Well, it's all useless."
Empress Duan asked Qingdai to bring her handkerchief over and said, "Sister Sheng, wipe it quickly."
At this time, in Guanju Palace, Xiao Zhuozi couldn't stop them. A group of seven or eight palace servants ran in and started searching without saying a word.
Jiang jumped off the swing and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
Three pets followed behind, woof, meow!
Hua Xia ran over and softly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, young master. They are here to catch mice and will leave soon."
She felt scared, but fortunately when Sheng Xiyan was taken away, she was hinted to destroy the Chunxiao Baimeixiang. Now she was not afraid of anything.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Eunuch Fu reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's already very late. Would you like to have some dinner first before discussing state affairs?"
Xuan Ling put down the flood map and gently stroked his temple.
"Prepare dinner for you, my dear ministers. I will discuss this with them while we eat."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With this gap, Eunuch Fu hurried to report:
"Your Majesty, half an hour ago, the Empress Dowager asked Consort Zhaoyi to go to the Cining Palace. I don't know why."
Xuan Ling became nervous when he heard this.
He didn't even bother to eat the dinner that had just been served. "Let's go to the Cining Palace and ask the adults to wait first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The imperial carriage was rushed to the Cining Palace without stopping.
"The Emperor has arrived!" Before the voice had even finished, Xuan Ling had already hurried into the hall.
"Emperor, why are you here?"
The Empress Dowager sat up, and Empress Duan and the others quickly stood up and knelt, "Welcome to the Emperor."
Xuan Ling picked up Sheng Xiyan and examined her from head to toe to see if she was injured.
Seeing that the clothes from the collar to the chest were wet, he asked, "How did this happen?"
Sheng Xiyan frowned, tears streaming down her face, and said in a delicate voice:
"Oh, oh, oh, it was my fault that I spilled the tea by accident. It has nothing to do with Concubine Jia."
A double entendre that says everything.
Xuan Ling's eyes were sinister as he led her to sit on a soft chair.
Walking towards Concubine Jia, the Empress Dowager guessed what he was going to do from his expression and hurriedly stopped him: "Emperor, don't be impulsive!"
Concubine Jia knelt and moved backwards, trying to get up and hide with the Empress Dowager. As soon as she stood up, Xuan Ling grabbed her clothes by the back.
Before he could react, he was slapped several times on both sides.
The beating made Concubine Jia's head buzzing, dizzy, and she felt like she was struck by lightning.
"Emperor, this is the Cining Palace, you are going too far!"
The beating of her daughter was a pain in the heart of the mother, and the Empress Dowager was heartbroken beyond words.
Empress Duan tried to smooth things over by saying, "Mother, the Emperor is teaching his younger sister, Concubine Jia."
Concubine Jia came to her senses, ran to the empress dowager, covered her face and burst into tears.
Xuan Ling said angrily, "Jia Fei dared to touch my people. She is so audacious. I only punished her slightly for the sake of my mother.
"Mother, I wonder what mistake Chen Zhaoyi made?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Jia's red and swollen face and said angrily, "Concubine Chen used aphrodisiacs to disturb the emperor's body and delayed the morning court. Shouldn't she be punished?"
Xuan Ling looked at Sheng Xiyan and asked, "Did you tell me everything?"
Sheng Xiyan stared at him and said, "Don't worry, you drugged yourself, I drugged myself, and I didn't say anything."
"Mother, this is absolutely not the case. Neither I nor Consort Chen would ever do such a despicable act."
I won't tell anyone else if I do it, it's just a pleasure in the boudoir.
The palace maid who had been searching Guanju Palace came in, and the Empress Dowager asked, "Tell me, did you find anything?"
The palace maid bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no aphrodisiac was found in Guanju Palace."
Xuan Ling and Sheng Xiyan looked at each other tacitly.
My Yanyan is very smart.
Xuan Ling covered his lips and pretended to cough.
"Mother, I was ill last night. It was Consort Chen who took care of me day and night without taking off her clothes. It was only then that I recovered. In theory, she is not only innocent, but also meritorious."
this........
The Empress Dowager, Empress Duan and several other concubines were all stunned.
Xuan Ling said again:
"Since entering the palace, Concubine Chen has saved lives numerous times, demonstrating her noble character. I am deeply moved. I hope your Majesty can be more tolerant of her. I still have government affairs to attend to."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Xuan Ling went over and took Sheng Xiyan's hand, his eyes full of love.
