Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Jun Zechen leaned on the couch with one leg slightly bent. His posture seemed casual but revealed an indescribable majesty.
His body was half-turned, and he was flipping through a memorial in his hand carelessly.
"How's the investigation going?"
His voice was low and magnetic. Although he was asking, his eyes did not move away from the memorial.
Anshun stood aside respectfully, bowing his head to report.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan has always had secret contact with Canglang. As per your instructions, I did not stop Concubine Lan from passing on the news."
"That's why the guards were a little lax with Concubine Lan, and that's why the snake was brought into the palace."
When Anshun said this, he felt very panicked. It was because of his carelessness.
An Shun knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is all my fault for not noticing that Concubine Lan had brought such a poisonous snake into the palace."
"That's what led to the Queen's accident."
Jun Zechen's face instantly turned gloomy. He sat up suddenly, a flash of anger in his eyes, and kicked Anshun on the shoulder.
His eyes were cold and frightening.
"Even such a venomous snake could enter my palace and even nearly hurt the queen. You are becoming more and more incompetent."
Jun Zechen's voice was filled with anger and rebuke.
Anshun also looked miserable, but fortunately, His Majesty's kick was not very hard and did not break his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me and allow me to thoroughly investigate this matter and make amends for my crime." He knocked his head heavily on the ground.
Jun Zechen glanced at him and continued to lie down.
"continue."
Anshun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The reason why the people I arranged in Concubine Lan's palace didn't notice it was because the snake was sent to the cold palace after entering the palace. The cold palace is remote and has many empty rooms, so it would not attract attention."
"I remember that there are guards in the cold palace. What do they do for a living?"
Jun Zechen's questioning voice was not loud, but it revealed an invisible pressure. The chill in his tone made An Shun worry about the guards in the cold palace.
The Queen gave birth prematurely this time, and it almost resulted in three deaths. Your Majesty will not let anyone involved in this matter off easily.
"Your Majesty, I only learned during this investigation that the Canglang Nation actually prepared three human skin masks for Concubine Lan. One of them was given to Ling Shi, which allowed her to be released from the cold palace."
"I guess the reason why the snake was taken to the cold palace was because of this human skin mask. It was a disguise."
The reason why Anshun knew there were three was that he spent a lot of money to buy the information through secret guards in various parts of the kingdom.
After all, the human skin masks from the Canglang Kingdom were bought at a high price. As long as you have money, there is no rumor that cannot be leaked.
Jun Zechen frowned, and a deep groove formed between his eyebrows.
Murmuring: "Why did Concubine Kelan want to harm Yaoyao......"
As Canglang's spy, Concubine Lan has always behaved non-competitively since entering the palace, and has tried her best to reduce her presence in the harem.
I just don't want him to doubt Shang Canglang.
What good does it do her to do such a thing?
unless......
"This servant is also very confused. Concubine Lan has no reason to murder the Empress."
"The only people in the palace who hated the Queen the most were Concubines Lin and Ye, but they are both dead."
"However, when I thought about Concubine Lan's human skin mask, I suddenly had another guess."
"The Ye family may not be dead. Although the Ye family has fallen apart, its foundation is still there. Only the Ye family has the bargaining chip to trade with Concubine Lan."
"After that, I sent people to keep an eye on Concubine Lan's people. I discovered that a close-knit maidservant beside Concubine Lan was very suspicious. She had a hoarse voice and a strange face, and she was suspected of wearing a human skin mask."
When Anshun said this, he raised his eyes slightly and observed His Majesty's expression.
When Jun Zechen heard this, his guess was basically confirmed.
But he had never expected that Canglang had prepared a human skin mask. It seemed that he had made sufficient preparations in order to pass the message out of the palace.
But since Concubine Lan dared to hurt Yaoyao, she should be prepared for eternal damnation.
The depths of Jun Zechen's eyes seemed like an endless cold pond, instantly tinged with a chilling coldness.
He turned the ring on his hand, Canglang, sooner or later he will belong to the king.
Anshun couldn't tell what expression His Majesty had.
He continued, "The criminal Ling has been imprisoned in a secret room in Kunning Palace. I am unable to interrogate Ling, and my speculation about Ye is difficult to verify."
Anshun's face was full of embarrassment and he lowered his head.
"Then dig the grave." Jun Zechen said coldly.
Anshun's eyes lit up instantly. Yes, as long as he checked whether Ye was dead, everything would be clear.
"Yes, I will arrange someone to do it later." Anshun responded quickly.
Anshun was about to retreat.
Jun Zechen suddenly said: "Wait."
"How has the Queen been investigating these days?"
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an elusive and complex emotion.
Although he promised Yaoyao not to investigate the matter, Yaoyao did not know that this matter involved Canglang and his future arrangements to attack other countries.
Therefore, for both public and private reasons, Jun Zechen must get to the bottom of this.
On the day Yaoyao gave birth, Ling was taken to the bedroom. She obviously thought her father was dead, so she made a desperate attempt to kill Yaoyao.
But Ling was in the cold palace, how could she know?
When Yaoyao heard this, she immediately stopped the interrogation.
Jun Zechen realized at that time that she was hiding something from him, but she had just given birth, and Jun Zechen didn't want her to worry about it.
