The emperor is indeed the emperor, no matter what you say.
Ning Erliu asked for two things, one was to have a wife, and the other was to leave the chaotic house of right and wrong.
As a result, Your Majesty, the old man, was so out of his mind to send the wife he wanted to a far away place.
I have indeed left Prince Min’s Palace, but I have to be someone else’s mistress.
Is it really appropriate?
And I also want to say, well, half of your request has been fulfilled for you.
Ma Dan, what should I do with the other half?
Xia Xiaodong felt quite dumbfounded.
When other emperors get old and want to act recklessly, they are all showing off their debauchery or using weapons indiscriminately.
It's a good time now.
I'm getting old and willful, so I'll keep an eye on the old concubine Chen Huang.
She's neither debauched nor lewd, and I want to mess around with some mandarin ducks here.
"I'm thinking that if you can persuade the Queen to come out, it will be a great achievement.
Maybe the Emperor will change his mind and won't let you go to Daqi.
Or, if Xiao Twenty-Six does something excessive, For example, if he snatches you away, the emperor will not be too angry. " Imperial Concubine Chen explained this way.
But Xia Xiaodong felt like a chess piece, or in other words, like a kitten or puppy being played with.
Whether he and Ning Erliu can finally get married is just a small excitement between the emperor and Concubine Chen.
The emperor's so-called anger may not necessarily mean that he is really angry.
If the emperor was angry because his ministers asked for too much, he would have died of anger long ago.
And what Concubine Chen Huang said about snatching it away was more of a deception than a guess.
One held up his stick and pretended to break up the mandarin ducks so that the two of you would fly away, while the other pretended to stop them and waved his hands secretly, telling you to run away.
Maybe the emperor and Concubine Chen Huang made a bet?
Forget it, it’s better not to think about the thoughts of the superior.
Having said all this, it seems that I have to pay a visit to the Queen.
"Thank you for taking the trouble, your Majesty."
Xia Xiaodongfu expressed his gratitude as a courtesy: "However, I have only heard many rumors about the Jiaofang Palace.
I really don't know what it is like.
I would like to trouble my Majesty to send someone to tell me.
I will come back.
It’s best to speak in front of the Queen.”
Let me try to persuade you.
I don’t know what’s going on.
I’ve only heard random rumors.
How can I persuade you?
"Of course, you sit here for a while, and I will ask someone from the Shenxing Department to come over and explain it to you in detail."
Concubine Chen Huang immediately agreed.
People from the Shenxing Division were quite unpopular in the palace.
Whenever it comes to the Division of Punishment, it's really hard to die without losing your skin.
Everyone wants to stay as far away from them as possible.
Two middle-aged eunuchs came over.
Judging from their clothes, they should be in charge, not ordinary torture eunuchs.
The color of Shen Xingsi's clothes is very special, a strange gray-blue.
In this palace, there are many people wearing gray, and even more people wearing blue, but wearing this kind of gray-blue is only restricted to those in the Department of Punishment.
Usually when a person wearing this kind of clothes appears, everyone will consciously or unconsciously avoid walking around.
Seeing the people from the Shenxing Division coming in, even the people from Jianheng Palace smiled reluctantly.

The palace maid took the two men to the side hall designated by Concubine Chen, and after introducing them to Xia Xiaodong for a few words, they quickly disappeared without even offering a cup of tea.
There are two eunuchs in the Shenxing Division, one with the surname Du and the other with the surname Ge.
Among them, Eunuch Du was the chief judge investigating the Jiaofangdian case at this time, and he was actually a deputy palace official.
Xia Xiaodong didn't know how powerful the Deputy Gongzheng was, so he just thought it was something like a eunuch in charge and didn't take it too seriously.
Naturally, he just treated him with common courtesy, which actually surprised Eunuch Du secretly.
In fact, there was nothing to chat with.
There was no tea or snacks on the table.
Du and Ge were accustomed to this.
At Eunuch Du's signal, Eunuch Ge began to tell the whole story of the Jiaofang Palace incident.
Things look simple on the surface.
Construction projects of pepper houses are not common, but this does not stop the craftsmen as supervisors.
Like countless affairs in the palace, the pepper room project has extremely detailed production rules.
It's always right to follow the rules.
According to the rules, this pepper paste can be applied in up to seven layers.
But because Concubine Chen was worried that the smell would be too strong and uncomfortable, the final order was to apply three coats.
Of course, not enough pepper is also one of the main reasons.
As a result, after following the operation procedures meticulously, the two craftsmen fell off the bamboo frame just after applying the first layer.
After applying the second layer, five more people fell ill one after another.
The symptoms started out differently, but gradually they all became the same.
They all had headaches, vomiting, spots on their bodies, and sores in their mouths.
After that, it was confirmed to be poisoning, and further investigation was launched.
The pepper was all donated by the uncle of the family in Lu, but it was a pity that it had all been used.
Although the pepper mud was shoveled from the wall, there was no way to sort it out because the pepper had been ground into powder.
I found other peppers from elsewhere, and used some common and uncommon ones.
In short, I tested the poisons I had on hand, and so far I haven't been able to find the method of poisoning.
"Actually, it is self-evident that the Empress stays behind closed doors."
Eunuch Du waited for Eunuch Ge to finish his report, then sighed slowly: "But it is inevitable that some people will doubt that this move may hinder the ascertainment of the truth."
The queen closed the door, and she was not the only one inside.
The entire Kunning Palace people continued to serve inside.
Of course these people won't come out on their own, but people outside can't if they want to question the people inside.
As for asking the queen, it is even more unnecessary to think about it.
During the investigation of the case, the key suspects and the people around the suspects were not asked, which of course would cause considerable inconvenience.
"If Miss Xia goes to visit the Queen, she might as well explain the matter to the Queen."
Eunuch Ge was afraid that the young girl would not understand what Eunuch Du said, so he immediately took over and spoke more clearly.
Xia Xiaodong was thoughtful and thinking about other things.
After a while, Xia Xiaodong asked: "I should be able to ask about it from the Lu family."
The poison was poisoned outside, so they wouldn't all go into the palace's warehouse and then go to all the trouble of sending people there to poison them.
The key lies with the Lu family.
"It's useless."
Eunuch Du said calmly: "The merchants who purchased the goods from the Lu family, the people in the shop who ordered the boxes, and the people who packed and delivered the boxes have all been interrogated and no clues were found."
The light and fluttering sentence of interrogation sounded cold for some reason.
Xia Xiaodong was silent for a long time.
Most, perhaps all, of these people are innocent people.
But in front of the imperial power, they are all worthless.
"Are those peppers really gone at all?"

Xia Xiaodong always thought it was impossible.
Not to mention others, I had seen a small bottle in the summer resort
