Zhao Ji looked out the window thoughtfully: "In this case, Chunlan Xuan will not be tortured first, just bring me her confession."

Two thin pieces of paper, which record Chunlan's crimes.

Concubine Shu never expected that Zhao Ji would come back.

"Why is the palm print back again? Didn't I just get someone away from me?"

Madam Shufei frowned slightly, and her pretty face showed a hint of impatience.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything, but just handed the paper in his hand over.

"The reasons why I came back again are all written here, please take a closer look, Madam."

Concubine Shu took the paper impatiently with her nails dyed red.

It clearly stated Chunlan's theft.

"No wonder I kept saying I had run out of rubbing ink when I was drawing my eyebrows recently. Did this girl steal it?"

When Concubine Shu saw this thing, she said angrily.

Zhao Ji sat beside him and drank tea leisurely: "If it was just such a simple matter, I'm afraid I wouldn't bother you again."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned: "What else could it be? You should just deal with this kind of dirty people."

"That's right. How could a little maid like Chunlan have the guts to steal Luozidai? Moreover, this thing was not found in Chunlan's bedroom, which means she has an accomplice, and this accomplice can transport the thing for her!"

Zhao Ji spoke slowly.

Concubine Shu waved her hand impatiently: "Go, who are her accomplices? Can't you just go and check it out?"

"Why are you telling me this?"

Zhao Ji put down the teacup and dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids: "Madam Shufei, it seems that there is a prince behind Chunlan. If I remember correctly, the madam does not seem to have a prince."

"That's really strange. Could it be that the Queen was involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty?"

As soon as Zhao Ji said this, Concubine Shu's face changed: "How dare you! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't throw dirty water on me..."

Now that the emperor has woken up, the harem still has to rely on him.

Moreover, no matter what period it is, collusion between concubines in the harem and princes is a serious crime.

Shufei cannot bear the charge of disturbing the previous dynasty.

Concubine Shu asked the maids around her to retreat, and then rushed to Zhao Ji with gritted teeth: "How dare you talk nonsense, how could I be in collusion with the prince!"

Zhao Ji looked at Concubine Shu's beautiful face full of anger, suddenly reached out and pulled Concubine Shu's arm, and pressed her down on the table with his backhand.

"Ouch..." Concubine Shu cried out in pain and felt that her arm no longer belonged to her.

Zhao Ji also took advantage of this action to hear Concubine Shu's thoughts.

[This damn eunuch is so rude, it hurts me so much. When the emperor summons me, I will definitely complain. It would be best if I can make this damn eunuch empty the chamber pot...]

Zhao Ji said slowly: "My Lady Shufei, this is a little abrupt, but for the safety of the harem, I hope you can tell the truth about what happened between you and Chunlan!"

Concubine Shu felt more and more pain, and she was about to cry. She shouted at the same time in her mouth and heart: "I have nothing to do with that bitch, I don't know the power behind her!"

Zhao Ji then loosened his grip slightly, but still pressed Concubine Shu against the table: "But even if the queen has nothing to do with the forces behind Chunlan, the queen's brother is a member of the Imperial Guards!"

"How can you guarantee that they are not related?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Shu was shocked.

[What does this have to do with my brother? Could it be that my brother has been in contact with someone else behind my back? ]

[This shouldn’t be the case. My brother has always only contacted me. I am the one who passed on any news or developments of the previous dynasty to him…]

[Is there such a complicated story behind Chunlan? Why don't I know? ]

Concubine Shu had something to hide, so she wasn't as loud as before.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that this concubine had actually passed the message out.

"Hasn't your Majesty ever exchanged letters with your brother?"

"After all, one is a concubine in the harem, and the other is the deputy leader of the Imperial Guard. It must be easier to contact them, right?"

Zhao Ji's voice reached Shufei's ears, making her tremble uncontrollably.

[How could this eunuch be so perceptive... I just passed on information about the emperor's health a few times, so it shouldn't be a big deal...]

[On weekdays, my brother doesn’t ask anything. At most, he gives me some money and asks me to manage some relationships in the palace…]

[After all, when I was favored, I also had some power, otherwise my brother would not have been able to sit in the position of deputy leader. ]

Zhao Ji didn't expect that just a simple explosion would reveal so much information.

It seems that this Concubine Shu has a lot of financial dealings with the deputy leader of the Imperial Guards on a daily basis.

The deputy leader must have spent a lot of money to be promoted to this position.

Zhao Ji loosened his hand slightly and let Concubine Shu go.

As soon as Concubine Shu was freed, she wanted to shout for help, but was stopped by a look from Zhao Ji.

"If you want everyone else to know that you are in contact with your brother, the deputy leader of the Royal Guards, then just shout it out!"

Zhao Ji's words made Concubine Shu wilt like an eggplant hit by frost.

In fact, many people in the harem are not aware of the relationship between Concubine Shu and Qian Duo, the deputy leader of the Imperial Guard.

From the name Qian Duo, we can tell that this person should be from an ordinary family.

At first, Shufei was just a little palace maid who was favored. Because of her delicate figure and good looks, the emperor suddenly gave her the title of Shufei.

She used to be very glorious, but later on the Queen repeatedly suppressed her. I'm afraid now the Emperor has forgotten that there is such a beauty as Concubine Shu in the harem.

After all, Concubine Shu now lives the farthest away from the Emperor, and the Empress blocks her from passing on messages on weekdays. It is not much different from being banished to the cold palace now.

In such a difficult situation, fortunately, Concubine Shu had arranged for her brother to become the deputy leader of the Imperial Guard.

Otherwise, Concubine Shu's life would be even more difficult.

As her brother was promoted to deputy leader, Concubine Shu gradually became unclear about what her brother was doing.

But she knew her brother. Qian Duo himself was not a very promising person, and he probably wouldn't do anything excessive.

Zhao Ji looked confident, and Concubine Shu was a little unsure.

"Since the palm seal said so, is there something I am still unclear about?"

Shufei's voice softened, and she moved closer to Zhao Ji and looked at him pitifully with her watery eyes.

It is obvious that Concubine Shu knows how to use her advantages very well. Compared with the Queen's dominance, Concubine Shu has always won by being gentle.

Zhao Ji looked at the woman in front of him, his heart moved, and he moved forward and lifted Concubine Shu's chin.

Slowly press forward.
