Something big happened?
Xie Ziyue and Han Xianzong looked at each other, and their expressions instantly became serious.
On the first day after arriving at the Summer Resort, what big thing could happen in the village? The unhappiness in Han Xianzong's heart disappeared instantly, and he hurriedly let Laifu in.
After Laifu came in, he kowtowed twice and then said:
"Concubine Rou was feeling unwell, so she went back to her room to rest early. Unexpectedly, the maid of Concubine Rou was shouting in the room just now, saying that there was an assassin."
At this point, Laifu paused, glanced at Han Xianzong and Xie Ziyue, and then continued: "The guards guarding outside went in and took a look. There were no assassins in the room, but..."
At this point, he seemed to be afraid of something and did not continue.
"Finished." Han Xianzong had already guessed some signs, but he didn't dare to confirm it yet, but his face was very ugly.
Xie Ziyue's eyes also flashed, but she was too smart to say anything at this time.
"There is a strange man." Laifu realized that what he said had a great impact on Han Xianzong, so his voice was very low and his tone was cautious: "I was lying on the same bed with Concubine Rou, both of them were naked. Not neat…”
The atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Xie Ziyue glanced at Han Xianzong. Half of his face could not be seen clearly under the candlelight, but he could clearly feel the worry around him.
His concubines were sleeping on the same bed with other men under his nose... No emperor had such a broad mind, nor could he bear such humiliation.
The concubine must be dead.
"Where are the people?" In such a quiet atmosphere, Laifu didn't dare to express his anger, but Xie Ziyue asked.
Laifu raised his eyes and took a look at Han Xianzong's expression. Seeing that Han Xianzong's expression was normal, he said respectfully:
"Back to the Imperial Concubine, the guards are now detaining the strange man outside Concubine Rou's room. Because Concubine Rou is pregnant with a dragon fetus, the guards dare not touch her."
The implication is that the concubine is still in the room.
There was such a big scandal in the Summer Resort, and there were even other ministers here. Han Xianzong felt that he had lost face, got off the bed, and strode out.
When he walked to the door, he realized something, looked back at Xie Ziyue and said, "My beloved, take Ah Xuan and have a good rest. I will come back later."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Ziyue's reply, she took Laifu and left directly.
Looking at the closed door, Xie Ziyue felt inexplicably uneasy. She glanced at her daughter sleeping on the bed, and intuitively told her that the concubine's matter was not simple.
If I remember correctly, Concubine Rou felt uncomfortable after sitting in the carriage for a long time tonight, so it was Concubine Rou who sent her back to rest.
So good, why would a man appear on Concubine's bed?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a frame-up, but this is the only conspiracy that will successfully push the concubine into the abyss even if she knows it is a frame-up.
No man likes his woman to cuckold him, especially if this man is an emperor.
The royal family should not have such a scandal.
Covering up a scandal is troublesome unless it is addressed at the source, so the best solution is to make the woman who created it disappear.
Xie Ziyue thought to herself that Concubine Rou was so smart that she would not give Concubine Rou any chance.
When the idiot Roubi led the wolf into the house before, did she expect that she would be in such an embarrassing day?
"Mother, do we want to go there?" Taoxiang was waiting at the side, listening to the noisy movement outside, ready to make a move.
The Summer Resort is no better than the Imperial Palace. In the Imperial Palace, the palaces of the concubines are far apart. But in the Summer Resort, everyone lives very close to each other. The concubines’ courtyard is only a few corridors away from here.
There is no queen in the palace, and Xie Ziyue, who has the highest status, is the same as the deputy queen. If such a scandal happened in the harem, there is nothing wrong with her going to take a look.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty had previously asked Xie Ziyue to take Gu Xuan to bed, but Xie Ziyue always felt that the concubine had nothing to hold back, so at this time it was safer to go and have a look.
It's just... Xie Ziyue looked at Gu Xuan, who was sleeping like a pig on the bed, and felt a little hesitant.
Grandma Sun saw her worry from the side, and looked at each other with Grandma Li, and the two of them immediately promised:
"Don't worry, Madam, I'm here to guard the princess and make sure not even a fly comes in."
"Be sure to keep an eye on the princess. I'll go and have a look and come back." Xie Ziyue felt relieved and asked Taoxiang to get dressed for herself, and hurried to the concubine's yard.
The concubine's courtyard was brightly lit, and at the entrance were guards, maids and eunuchs coming and going. Everyone was in a hurry and did not dare to show off their atmosphere.
Seeing Xie Ziyue coming, the servants wanted to salute one after another. Xie Ziyue stopped them and asked:
"How's it going inside?"
"This..." One of the palace maids looked at the person next to her, obviously considering her words in her mind:
"Back to your concubine, your majesty is interrogating the first palace maid Yu'er who discovered someone in Concubine Rou's room."
As if to cater to the maid's words, as soon as she finished speaking, a scream came from the courtyard, and at the same time there was the sound of a board falling on her body.
The scream sounded like a woman, probably the palace maid Yu'er mentioned earlier.
Xie Ziyue walked in and saw Han Xianzong sitting in front of the courtyard, with no fewer than ten people kneeling underneath. One of the palace ladies was lying on a bench, and two young eunuchs were holding wooden boards each, and they were executing.
Roubi was kneeling at the front with a pale face. She was neatly dressed at the moment, but her face could not hide her panic.
Kneeling next to her was a man with half of his chest exposed. The man's head was slightly lowered, and his original appearance could not be clearly seen.
Laifu stood next to Han Xianzong with a whisk in hand, watching coldly as the young eunuchs played several big shots. After Yu'er's wails were faint, he waved to signal the young eunuchs to stop.
"Palace Maid Yu'er, let's ask you again, do you think it's true that you said you saw this person lying disheveled with Concubine Rou when you came in?"
"Report to Your Majesty..." Yu'er's voice was very weak because of the torture. She reluctantly raised her head, her face covered in sweat:
"What I said is true. When I entered the house, I originally wanted to see if the window in the room of the concubine was closed, but unexpectedly when I entered the door, I saw the concubine lying next to her..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Before Yu'er could finish her words, Roubin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and she exploded in an instant:
"This bitch is talking nonsense! Your Majesty, you must believe me! With a husband like your Majesty, how could I have an affair with such a young person?"
Her eyes were filled with tears and her words were sincere: "What's more, I am already pregnant with your Majesty's royal heir. No matter how stupid I am, I will not have sex with my foreign husband... Your Majesty, someone must have framed me for this matter! Concubine It’s really unjust!”
