Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The eunuch shouted loudly outside the palace, and the concubines knelt down and saluted: "May the emperor be blessed with good health."

"Okay, everyone, get up. Sit down." Ling Cheyun sat on the upper seat, his face calm, exuding the majesty of an emperor.

After the concubines sat down, Ling Cheyun glanced at them and asked coldly, "What are you doing? Who is kneeling?"

The Queen replied, "Your Majesty, the one kneeling is Eunuch Yan, the manager of the Imperial Clothing Bureau. Imperial Doctor Lin diagnosed that Concubine Su was unwell because she wore the poisonous clothes sent by the Imperial Clothing Bureau."

She raised her eyes to glance at Concubine Jia and continued, "Just now, Eunuch Yan confessed that he was instructed by Concubine Jia to deliberately poison Concubine Su..."

With just one look from Ling Cheyun, Eunuch Yan was so frightened that he peed all over the floor.

A strong smell of urine wafted through the hall, and everyone couldn't help but cover their noses, frowning, and looking very dissatisfied.

Concubine Jia immediately knelt down, still without any panic: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I beg Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation of this matter so that I can be cleared of all charges!"

Concubine Su also knelt down, her eyes reddened: "Your Majesty, please help me! I almost never see you again!"

Ling Cheyun glanced at them, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he shouted to Eunuch Yan: "Tell me, who instructed you to poison?"

Eunuch Yan was so frightened that his body was shaking, trembling, and stammering.

"Say!"

Ling Cheyun shouted, and Eunuch Yan's whole body shook. He lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly before kowtowing heavily: "Yes, it's Gu, Gu Yunan..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Su pointed at him and said angrily, "Just now you clearly said that Concubine Jia ordered you to do it! You're about to die, and you want to change your words?!"

Eunuch Yan seemed to have made up his mind: "Slave, I did lie..."

Hearing this, Concubine Jia looked at Concubine Su with a sarcastic expression, and there was clearly a hint of pride in her eyes.

The concubines present were completely confused. They never expected that things would take such a turn.

"You little dog slave!" Su Fei roared, "Gu Yu Nan's body is gone, and you are pushing all the blame on one person. What's your intention? What benefit did Jia Fei give you?"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Jia's eyes turned red, and she retorted sadly, "Concubine Su, why are you targeting me like this? Your Majesty, this is about my innocence, please be sure to listen to what Eunuch Yan has to say."

Ling Cheyun nodded: "Tell me. Tell me everything clearly!"

"Eunuch Yan, why did you frame me just now?"

Eunuch Yan secretly glanced at Concubine Jia and said with a stiff face, "Because... because I really can't stand it anymore... I was also instructed by Concubine Su to frame you..."

Everyone was in an uproar.

This reversal is too outrageous!

The thief cries "Catch the thief"? Did the person crying out for injustice stage all this himself?

Concubine Su, who was blamed for the incident, was shocked at this time.

"You little dog slave! How dare you confuse right and wrong like this!" Concubine Su couldn't help it and slapped him hard.

Blood was flowing from the corner of Eunuch Yan's mouth. Concubine Jia sneered at him and said sarcastically, "Concubine Su, why don't you dare let Eunuch Yan finish his words? Did you really direct and act out this incident yourself?"

"you……"

Concubine Su's face turned pale. She was about to refute, but then she heard Concubine Jia say, "Eunuch Yan, the emperor is here and will definitely make the decision for you. Tell me everything."

Eunuch Yan kowtowed heavily with a pale face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, yes, it is your servant. Your servant is useless and cannot withstand the torture..."

Ling Cheyun's face was gloomy. He raised his hand to signal the eunuch beside him to go over and untie Eunuch Yan.

Yan Gong took off his shirt by himself, and his body was covered in green and blood, with almost no intact flesh. It was obvious that he had indeed suffered inhuman torture.

The sight of his bloody back made people gasp.

Even the eunuchs and slaves working in the palace have dignity, and lynching is never allowed in the palace.

Although these restrictions were actually not very effective for those in power, servants in each palace would still be beaten to death from time to time.

However, although punishing servants was an unspoken agreement among all palaces, the seriousness of the matter was self-evident when it came before the Emperor and involved concubines from two palaces.

Concubine Su immediately broke out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground, exclaiming: "Your Majesty! This was definitely not done by me!"

She could never have imagined that something she thought was a done deal would end up giving her a heavy blow!

"Then tell me, when did you take him into custody?" Ling Cheyun leaned forward with his hands on his knees, looked at her, and asked coldly.

Concubine Su was stunned for a moment, feeling chilled by Ling Cheyun's distrust.

Ting He immediately kowtowed and quickly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty! This has nothing to do with the Majesty! Since the Majesty was poisoned, she has been bedridden. I took care of Eunuch Yan last night."

Eunuch Yan is the manager of the Shangyi Bureau, so he must not disappear without reason, as this would easily alert the enemy.

So when Concubine Su decided to pay her respects this morning and reveal everything, she ordered people to quietly tie him up when he was off duty.

Concubine Jia immediately accused her, "You are a maidservant of Concubine Su. If she hadn't ordered this, how dare you kidnap a manager of the clothing department? If you want to torture and slander me, one night is enough!"

Ting He was so anxious that she almost cried, and kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, please understand, this matter was done by me alone, and it really has nothing to do with the Empress! I only ordered people to keep Eunuch Yan under strict supervision, and I would never dare to use private punishment!"

The queen didn't seem to like seeing the concubines biting each other, so she said softly to Ling Cheyun:

"Your Majesty, I believe this matter may not be related to Concubine Su. After all, she was the one who was poisoned, so it's not a bad idea for her to find out the truth."

"But confessions obtained through torture are not to be trusted. I believe that Concubine Su also understands this and will never do such a thing."

Ling Cheyun nodded, took the teacup handed to him by the queen, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Call the person who is guarding him. I want to ask him in person."

Eunuch Cao beside him immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss Tinghe, who is the person in charge?"

"Eunuch Guo Jianbin." Ting He replied quickly.

Eunuch Cao immediately signaled the young eunuch to invite Eunuch Guo.

Who would have thought that in less than half an incense stick of time, the young eunuch came back in a hurry, his face horrified, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Guo, he, he hanged himself!"

Eunuch Cao was shocked and asked the emperor for permission, then went to check it out in person.

Concubine Su's face changed drastically. She glared at Concubine Jia who had an indifferent expression, knowing that the situation was hopeless.

I didn't expect that she had such great skills and could move so quickly that she could trick her!

But a moment later, Eunuch Cao also hurried back and reported: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Guo did hang himself to death. The Imperial Hospital has sent someone to check, and the cause of death is the same."

Ling Cheyun's face was filled with gloom, and he asked in a deep voice: "Concubine Su, Eunuch Guo is from your house, how do you explain it?"

Concubine Su's face was pale. Seeing the anger on his face, she could only explain palely: "Your Majesty, I never ordered Eunuch Guo to abuse Yan Guowu, and I never ordered him to slander Concubine Jia!"

"Yan Guowu! Tell me why Gu Yunan wanted to poison me!" Concubine Su shouted.

Yan Guowu looked at her with trembling lips and replied in a low voice: "Gu Yunan told me that the queen was dissatisfied with his medical skills and tore up the prescription he wrote. That's why he holds a grudge against her."

"Gu Yunan once saved my life, and I helped him out because I wanted to repay his kindness."

What rigorous logic!

What a terrible method!

Unexpectedly, even Gu Yunan’s death came in handy!

Concubine Su suddenly felt powerless all over, as if she had fallen into a trap carefully set by the enemy. Sharp swords were shooting at her from all directions, leaving her with no escape.

Concubine Su was furious: "Gu Yunan is already dead! There is no evidence, and you are pushing all the blame on a dead person. What a clever trick!"

Eunuch Yan didn't dare to say anything. Everyone present felt Ling Cheyun's anger, so they naturally didn't dare to speak.

But Concubine Jia started to cry.

I only heard her wiping away tears: "Concubine Su, I can't figure out how I have offended you that you want to frame me like this!"

"I think it's only about the Third Prince. But the Third Prince is still young, he won't fight with the Second Prince for anything. Why are you so flustered and forcing me to die?"

Ling Cheyun looked at Concubine Su deeply, and that look made her feel a little frightened.

She never expected that with just a few words, Concubine Jia would lead the matter to the issue of establishing a crown prince.
