In the palace, Xuan lowered his head in deep thought after Zhuge Zhengwo left.
He could have asked the Six Fan School or the Divine Constabulary to investigate the Divine Dragon Cult. Why did he ask Zhu Bujue to come?
Thinking back to that time, he seemed to have subconsciously thought of Zhu Bujue.
Xuan looked at his subordinate's status panel and thought to himself.
"Perhaps this is the effect of the luck attribute. He had directly found out that Zhu ignored this person who was related to the case. Just as Zhu Budian was about to make his move, Cao Zhengchun arrived.”
While Xuan was thinking about something in the hall, Hai Dafu and Cao Zhengchun began to communicate softly.
"Eunuch Hai, what brings you to His Majesty's side?”
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and asked softly.
Back when the late Emperor was still around, Cao Zhengchun's status was not inferior to Hai Dafu's, so his tone was naturally not too polite. Furthermore, this Hai Dafu had first competed with the late Emperor for favor, and now he had appeared by the Emperor's side.
'Did he see that His Majesty was about to make a name for himself, so he ran out to compete with me?'
Cao Zhengchun thought to himself. A cold light flashed through his half-closed eyes.
Hai Dafu had lived in the palace for most of his life, and his ability to read people's minds was not inferior to Cao Zhengchun's.
He immediately noticed the cold glint in Cao Zhengchun's eyes.
"Eunuch Cao has wrongly blamed this Zajia. If it wasn't for His Majesty summoning this Zajia's old bones, this Zajia wouldn't have come out of this imperial kitchen.”
Hai Dafu explained politely. He automatically placed Cao Zhengchun in a high position.
This was something that could not be helped.
Cao Zhengchun had been by the Emperor's side since he was a child, and as the supervisor of the East Chamber, the Emperor trusted him very much.
As for him?
He was just a eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen. His status could not be compared to Cao Zhengchun's.
If he did not lower his attitude, he was afraid that there would be endless trouble in the future.
Seeing Hai Dafu's attitude, Cao Zhengchun was satisfied.
He had watched the Emperor grow up. He did not want to see the fruits of the Emperor's power being plucked by other eunuchs.
Cao Zhengchun nodded in satisfaction. The coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared. With a kind expression, he patted Hai Dafu's shoulder and said,
"Work hard for His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely not treat you unfairly.”
He was also clear about his identity and let Hai Dafu work for the little Emperor instead of himself.
As the two of them were talking, the palace door opened.
Xuan's small figure walked out of the hall.
"To the imperial prison."
After he finished his short and cold words, he took the lead and walked out.
Hai Dafu and Cao Zhengchun quickly followed, while Cao Zhengchun shouted.
"Your Majesty has left the palace and is now in the imperial prison."
It was not a small matter for the emperor to leave the palace. There were more than ten eunuchs and palace maids and a hundred imperial guards.
The group of people marched towards the imperial prison in a grandiose manner.
After arriving at the imperial prison, the jailers and guards knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, my emperor. Long live my emperor!!”
Xuan came down from the sedan. The guard swept his gaze over him.
This official was someone Zhu ignored!
At this moment, he did not pay attention to it. Zhu Budian wanted to rebel, so he naturally had many people planted in the court.
"Take me to see Imperial Consort Yu!"
The cold words rang in the official's ears, and the official immediately led the way.
Logically speaking, even if the people in the harem committed a crime, they would only be locked up in the Cold Palace. However, this 'Imperial Consort Yu' was locked up in the imperial prison. He was afraid that the old officials would start complaining again tomorrow morning.
The group arrived at the imperial prison.
From afar, Xuan could see the disheveled Jade Consort inside the cage.
At this moment, the wound on her arm had not been healed. Her sleeves were covered in blood, and her pale and exquisite face was stained with dust. She looked a little embarrassed.
Because of her identity, she also enjoyed the treatment of a single room in this prison.
After all, she was a member of the royal family. Even if she was a criminal, the prison didn't dare to lock her up with other criminals. They could not afford to damage the royal family's reputation.
"Open the cell door!"
The jailer immediately opened the cell door.
Long Er, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened her eyes when she heard the sound. When she saw who it was, she said indifferently,
"The filthy land of the imperial prison. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of dirtying your dragon body by coming here?”
Cao Zhengchun, who was following behind Xuan, was curious. Why didn't His Majesty go to Yonghe Palace to see Imperial Consort Yu? Why did he come here?
But now that he saw Consort Jade in such a sorry state, he couldn't understand.
His Majesty had actually locked Consort Dowager in the imperial prison!!
Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but gasp. He didn't know about this earlier.
At this moment, he could already predict the denouncement of the Emperor in the morning court tomorrow!
"Oh no, oh no, how could His Majesty lock up Consort Dowager! I've only left for half a day. How did His Majesty cause such a disaster!”
Cao Zhengchun was anxious.
The Heavenly Prison Warden had a fawning expression.
"Your Majesty, please."
Xuan looked at him coldly and didn't move.
The warden was stunned and thought, What did I do wrong? Did I offend His Majesty?”
At this moment, Hai Dafu understood Xuan's meaning and scolded.
"His Majesty's prison door has already been opened.”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll leave now.”
Realization dawned on the warden, and he left with a few jailers in fear.
After those people left, Xuan brought Cao Zhengchun and Hai Dafu into the cell. Long Er had already closed her eyes, not paying any attention to the three.
" Divine Dragon Cult's Saintess, Long 'er."
This name was called by Xuan in that cold and childish voice. Long 'er's closed eyes suddenly opened.
"He... he's not a good person. How did he know my identity?"
