Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 355: Intelligence is useless in serious places

Ningyuxuan.

"Ma'am..."

Hongdou immediately understood what Huangye meant.

The people of Nanzhao Kingdom are good at using poison, and they can put their poison in any inconspicuous place or place that others would never expect.

This hair... isn't it the best place to hide poison?

"Go get a pair of scissors, and... find one of Hongyue's clothes and let her wear it."

Looking at the shame-stricken Concubine Shu who was stripped naked and wanted to die, Huang Ye did not have a single sympathy.

If she fell into the hands of Concubine Shu today...

She believed that what Concubine Shu would do to her would be a million times more cruel than what she was doing now.

Hongdou found a pair of scissors in the house and handed them to Huangye.

Huang Ye didn't hesitate and cut Concubine Shu's hair close to her scalp.

Since Huang Ye was wearing sheepskin gloves that covered her arms, even if there was something in the hair, it couldn't do anything to her.

She threw all the cut hair into the burning brazier.

Suddenly, blue light flashed in the brazier, accompanied by some crackling sounds.

In addition to the unique burnt smell of hair, there was another smell in the room.

It was a unique stench of poisonous insects being burned to death.

Although he couldn't see anything, Huang Ye knew that the poisonous insects were hiding in Concubine Shu's hair.

Huang Ye felt relieved only after he poured the poisonous insects in the bottle into the brazier.

Although there was no evidence, Huang Ye just felt that there was a puppet insect among the poisonous insects that were burned to death just now.

She had heard from her second master that people who were poisoned by the puppet Gu would obey the orders of the person who poisoned them.

She suspected that the leader of the Ministry of Punishment at that time was infected with the puppet Gu.

Huang Ye stood up as he watched Hongdou put the clothes she found in Hongyue's room on Concubine Shu.

"It's better to tie her up. It will be safer if she's tied up. Go outside and call someone to come in and take her away."

Huang Ye instructed Hong Dou.

Just now Hongdou had asked someone to notify Eunuch Yu who was waiting there.

By now, the people from the Ministry of Punishment should have arrived at the Qingyue Palace.

"I fed her poison. She shouldn't have any serious problems in the short term."

Huang Ye ordered the secret guards to come in and take Concubine Shu away.

They had already discussed this in the Qiyun Palace. Since the Ministry of Punishment could enter Shu Taifei's people, they should find a place where no one could find her and lock her up.

Qingyue Palace.

The people from the Ministry of Punishment kicked open the door of Qingyue Palace and rushed straight to the house where Aunt Yan lived.

Concubine Lin was actually awake all the time.

It can be said that she has been waiting for this moment since Concubine Shu left Qingyue Palace.

"You...what are you going to do?"

Concubine Lin, wrapped in a thick cloak, walked out of the house and questioned the people who were searching in Aunt Yan's house.

"Official business of the Ministry of Punishment."

The leader took out a token and waved it in front of Concubine Lin.

"Aunt Yan...what happened to her? Where is she?"

Lin Jieyu asked anxiously.

"Where is she, isn't she very clear, Lady Concubine?"

The leader chuckled.

"Qingyue Palace is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Madam Jieyu, please come with us."

"You...you are slandering me. I want to see the emperor."

Concubine Lin had a bad feeling. If she entered the Ministry of Punishment, she would have no chance of getting that position.

She still had a lot of things to say to the emperor to defend herself.

It looks like Concubine Shu is finished.

Very good, even if that masked man comes again, it is Concubine Shu who is seeking death herself, and it has nothing to do with her.

"The Emperor is waiting for Concubine Yu in the Yangxin Palace. Your Majesty, please come with us now."

The leader ignored the people who were still searching the house. He glanced at Concubine Lin and led the way out.

Concubine Lin was relieved. As long as the emperor was willing to see her, she would be fine.

"Caiqin, come with me."

Concubine Lin put on the hood of her cloak, took the hand warmer handed to her by Caiqin, and walked towards the Yangxin Palace in the cold wind.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Huang Ye had already arrived. When she came in, as expected, she saw the emperor who was anxiously waiting for news.

"are you OK?"

Seeing Huang Ye, the emperor strode up to her, took her hand, and examined her carefully.

"I am fine."

Huang Ye felt a little embarrassed when the emperor held her hand.

She broke free from the emperor's hand and deliberately jumped a few times on the ground.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I am fine."

The worry in the emperor's eyes was real, and Huang Ye was grateful for his kindness.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

The emperor said two sentences in succession.

He was so worried that he wanted to run to Ningyuxuan, but Eunuch Yu stopped him.

Eunuch Yu said that if he went there, it would alarm Concubine Shu and that would cause trouble, so he didn't go there.

Eunuch Yu, who was standing aside, came over to greet Huang Ye at this time.

His joy in seeing her safe and sound was no less than that of the Emperor.

"Thank you for your concern, father-in-law."

Huang Ye knew that Eunuch Yu was good to her, so she thanked him sincerely.

"I'm glad your Majesty is okay. My worries are trivial. The Emperor is so worried that he wants to go out and look for you."

Eunuch Yu smiled. He had to make the Concubine understand the Emperor's intentions.

maybe…

It would be great if Concubine Jieyu suddenly came to her senses and accepted the Emperor.

Huang Ye felt embarrassed when she heard this, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, regarding Concubine Lin..."

Huang Ye decided to talk about business, otherwise she always felt that the emperor was... a little annoying.

"Lin Jieyu..."

The emperor murmured the name.

Compared with some people in the harem, Concubine Lin's background was actually very ordinary.

Her father was just a minister in the Ministry of Works, and he worked diligently in the ministry all his life.

He was obsessed with dam designs. It can be said that he spent more than half a year running around outside.

Her brother is also a pragmatic man and does a good job in his position.

The reason why Concubine Lin entered the palace and gained favor was partly due to her outstanding appearance.

On the other hand, there was also the emperor's reward for her father and brother's service.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Concubine Lin's ability to judge the situation.

Now that Concubine Lin is involved in the matter of Concubine Shu, the emperor is in a difficult position.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin's matter has nothing to do with her father and brother. It is purely her personal behavior."

In his previous life, Huang Ye admired those who were loyal to their duties.

After hearing the emperor's words, she couldn't help but plead for Concubine Lin's father and brother.

What Concubine Lin did was worthy of the execution of her entire family.

Huang Ye always felt that Concubine Lin was very selfish, disregarding the lives of her family for her own selfish interests.

It is better to kill this kind of person as soon as possible. As long as she is around, there will be no peace in the harem.

The emperor knew very well that the Lin family was innocent in this matter.

Even if he showed leniency and let the Lin family go, they would still be demoted and exiled.

But his father was a man of real ability, and the emperor was reluctant to give up this talent.

He originally wanted to wait until after the New Year to get a promotion to his position.

There was nothing the yellow leaves could do.

"How about... find a reason to let him make amends for his crime?"

"Let's wait and see what she says when someone comes. She is smart, but it's a pity that she doesn't use her intelligence in the right way."

The emperor said with a sigh.
