There was silence in the hall for a long time. I don't know how long I waited before a sneer came from the front.
On the long white jade steps, the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne. The candlelight on the agarwood candlestick beside him flickered with the sound.
The shadow of the candlelight fell on the jaw that was as sharp as a knife or an axe, making the sarcasm on his face even more obvious.
"A thorough investigation?!"
Xiao Yu pulled his collar with his fingers, and his long eyebrows frowned, making him look even more impatient: "I don't know, I have someone else to look for."
His Majesty's sarcasm was too obvious.
The look that fell on the ground was full of irony.
Zhou Shuyun knelt on the velvet carpet, her breath taken away by that look.
She looked at the ridicule and disdain on His Majesty's face. Even in those eyes, her own shadow was clearly reflected.
How could His Majesty say this?
Zhou Shuyun knelt on the ground, feeling dizzy from the shock of these words.
Could it be that His Majesty was wrong?
Or did she hear it wrong?
How come His Majesty doesn't want to look for someone? Isn't the person she is looking for Meng Siyao?
Otherwise, how could His Majesty mistake Chen Fu for someone else? Why did you let him pamper her for so long?
Zhou Shuyun knelt in the main hall, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
She knelt on the ground in silence, without saying a word for a long time.
But Xiao Yu obviously didn't have much patience.
He placed his fingertips on the dragon table and knocked on it upside down: "I have a question for you."
His Majesty raised his eyes, his impatience was clear: "I ask you, what do you mean by I have been looking for someone?"
"Also, what does Meng Siyao have to do with this matter?"
When Zhou Shuyun heard this, the blood in her body gradually returned.
She knelt on the ground, straightened up and looked at the Emperor in front of her.
His Majesty really doesn't understand. Still pretending?
Zhou Shuyun thought about her past life and felt that it all seemed like a dream.
But facing the Emperor, his gaze was directed at him viciously.
Zhou Shuyun still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"Your Majesty, didn't you recognize Meng Siyao before?" Zhou Shuyun asked hopefully while kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty and Miss Meng have known each other for a long time and they had a period of love." Zhou Shuyun knelt on the ground, racking her brains to think about what happened just now.
To be honest, she couldn't remember these things clearly.
The main reason was that His Majesty was too protective of Meng Siyao and hardly allowed anyone to touch her.
As concubines, they didn't know much.
But in his previous life, it was true that His Majesty doted on Meng Siyao.
She saw it with her own eyes, so naturally she wouldn't be so sure.
"You said that I had a love affair with Meng Siyao?" After hearing this, Xiao Yu lost his patience anymore.
He almost wanted to immediately order someone to throw the man in front of him out!
Is Zhou Shuyun suffering from hysteria? What kind of words are these?
If Chen Fu heard it, would he still have any hope of maintaining his innocence?
Xiao Yu completely lost his patience, and almost immediately stood up and looked at the person kneeling on the ground: "Someone, drag her into the cold palace!"
As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door.
Zhou Shuyun was kneeling on the ground. When she heard the footsteps, her face changed.
Cold Palace.
If you are sent to the cold palace, it will not be easy to get out in the future.
And if she wants to see His Majesty, isn't it harder than climbing to the sky?
Almost immediately, Zhou Shuyun knelt on the ground and crawled towards His Majesty: "Your Majesty, I did not lie, I did not lie."
Zhou Shuyun was almost frightened to death, and she hugged the Emperor's legs and cried.
"Every word I said is true." At this moment, she didn't care about revealing that this happened in her previous life.
She just hoped to provide evidence to dispel the Emperor's suspicion of her.
"Everything I said is true. Your Majesty and Meng Siyao knew each other in the palace before. Meng Siyao even served as a substitute on the bed until she gave birth to your child, and then she left the palace."
Zhou Shuyun had no idea whether these things had happened at this time according to the time in her previous life.
But now, she no longer cares about anything else. She just hugged His Majesty's legs and cried:
"Everything I said is true. Your Majesty, please don't let me stay in the cold palace!"
Zhou Shuyun hugged the Emperor's legs and cried bitterly.
But she was crying so hard that she didn't notice that the Emperor's body was gradually becoming stiff.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyebrows and looked thoughtfully at Zhou Shuyun who was kneeling in front of him.
If he had heard correctly just now, what Zhou Shuyun said was clearly about him and Shen Fu.
Chen Fu was originally sent to the bed by Shen Qingru as a substitute.
No one else knew about these things except Shen Qingru, who had died long ago.
How did she know?
Why do you say it was Meng Siyao?
His Majesty immediately grasped the suspicious point, and the look he gave Zhou Shuyun was strange.
The guards had already pushed the door open, but seeing this scene no one dared to step forward.
It was Lin An who noticed something was wrong and stepped forward, bending over: "Your Highness."
He looked at Zhou Shuyun, who was kneeling on the ground, holding onto His Majesty's legs, and asked with lowered eyes: "Do you still want to send her to the cold palace?"
Xiao Yu came back to his senses and pulled away the robe that Zhou Shuyun was holding.
He curled his palms and looked at Zhou Shuyun, who was about to faint from crying: "Take her down first."
This is what it means to not send her to the cold palace.
Lin An's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately waved his hand to have Zhou Shuyun dragged off the bed.
*******
"Your Majesty, these are all the findings from my interrogation overnight."
Inside the Qianqing Palace, Lin An placed the things in his hands in front of His Majesty.
The moment he raised his head, he took a close look at His Majesty.
There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes and brows, and it was obvious that he had not had enough sleep the whole night.
Lin An frowned slightly with fatigue, then looked at the table.
Xiao Yuzheng took the letter, turned it over with his palm and looked at it carefully.
What is recorded above is everything that Meng Siyao revealed last night.
No matter how scheming Meng Siyao was, she couldn't escape questioning. Without even using torture, Lin An had thoroughly investigated Meng Siyao's background and everything that happened after she entered the palace in just one night.
Xiao Yu knew all of this, and after flipping through the pages, he only sneered:
"There is no one in the Rong family's harem. It seems that the Queen Mother is really starting to get anxious."
Xiao Yu looked at the letter in his hand.
Meng Siyao confessed very clearly how the Queen Mother sent people to teach her. And what did she learn every day, when did she study, and when did she rest.
These are all frankly clear.
Even though Xiao Yu had known this for a long time, he was still a little frightened after seeing what Meng Siyao confessed.
The Queen Mother had already considered using Meng Siyao as a substitute.
If he hadn't discovered it in advance.
With Meng Siyao's appearance, and having learned all of Shen Fu's moves.
I'm afraid even he might have been kept in the dark.
If she really pretends to be Chen Fu in the future and I really admit my mistake.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's eyes became colder than ever before.
If these people really achieve their goal, what will be the consequences for Shen Fu?
Even as an emperor, he shuddered at the thought of this outcome.
Fortunately, he saw it in advance, and fortunately Meng Siyao couldn't help it, so she came out early and broke the Queen Mother's plan.
Otherwise, if these people really achieved their goal, Xiao Yu simply couldn't even think about it, if Meng Siyao really replaced Chen Fu.
㳔What will be the fate of Shen Fu then?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Xiao Yu's eyes, and thinking of this, he almost immediately wanted to strangle the two of them.
"How are people now?"
Lin An saw this from the side and shrank his neck: "I have obeyed the order of His Majesty and imprisoned Miss Meng and Lady Zhou together."
"Don't let these two people die." Xiao Yu paused, and after a while he ordered: "If the Queen Mother asks about Meng Siyao, say that she has been sent out of the palace."
After hearing this, Lin An opened his eyes and looked at His Majesty: "I obey your order."
But he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a rest?"
After interrogating Concubine Zhou last night, His Majesty didn't even sleep the whole night.
Lin An didn’t know what the beauty said last night that made the Emperor so angry.
But seeing the dark circles under His Majesty's eyes, he still said, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu kneaded the hands placed between his eyebrows deeply.
How does he sleep well?
Last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Zhou Shuyun shouting those words.
Even in his dreams, he dreamed that he mistook Chen Fu for Meng Siyao.
