In Yangxin Palace Hall.
Shangguan Haitang told him about her deduction about the poison in the imperial kitchen without involving any forces.
In Shangguan Haitang's opinion, the East and West Chambers were worried about the Emperor's safety and had defined this as a plot to harm the Emperor.
Not only could they take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, but they could also obtain great merit, killing two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty, I think that if everyone is in danger, it will not be beneficial to investigate this matter. At this time, the investigation of Six Fan School is enough. The East and West Chambers should withdraw…"
" Or only the East Chamber and the West Chamber will be left behind…Now, the various forces can only restrict each other…"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows at Shangguan Haitang's words.
This woman was not simple.
Zhu Houzhao sized up Shangguan Haitang from head to toe. Her lips were red and her teeth were white.
"You're right!"
"As expected of the woman who controls the world's number one manor!”
Shangguan Haitang heard Zhu Houzhao's praise and waved her hand."This humble servant does not dare to be arrogant in front of His Majesty.”
Suddenly!
Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up." Let's go. Accompany me to Chuxiu Palace. I'll see if you want to poison me or Bai Muxue…"
If he poisoned the emperor, then the case would be clear. Murdering the emperor, rebelling…
Perhaps the White Lotus Society was just a pretense. There must be another mastermind behind the White Lotus Society. Otherwise, with the White Lotus Society's ability, they would not have the ability to bring the highly toxic substance into the palace!
There weren't many people who could bring highly toxic substances into the palace and deceive everyone!
Poison Bai Muxue?
A little palace maid who had just obtained a title, and she was not even conferred the title of nine concubines or twelve concubines. In fact, she was a lady whose talent was even lower than that of a beauty…
What was the value of poisoning her?
However, if this poisonous substance was used to poison Bai Mu Xue, it would definitely be a cruel palace battle.
Who would view Bai Muxue as a thorn in their side?
When Zhu Houzhao walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall, the eunuch shouted,""Go to Chuxiu Palace!"
Cao Zhengchun immediately followed Zhu Houzhao to Chuxiu Palace.
……
Chuxiu Palace was located on the west side of the rear palace. Chuxiu Palace was not a palace, but a group of palaces that were arranged in a disorderly manner. There were more than ten courtyards and more than a hundred houses...
Bai Muxue stayed in the third courtyard after entering Chuxiu Palace.
The recent events in the palace had caused the eunuchs and serving girls in the rear palace to panic. Many eunuchs and serving girls paled at the mention of the imperial kitchen.
The imperial kitchen had always been an important place in the palace.
There was actually a poisoning incident. Many eunuchs in the imperial kitchen were captured by the West Hall. It was said that many people died…
Who wasn't afraid?
He was afraid that he would be implicated and lose his life!
" Young master, don't you think the person who poisoned them is too vicious? How many people have been harmed? Many eunuchs in the imperial kitchen have been implicated. Even the eunuchs who transported the vegetables have been arrested…"
"Shh. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to let others hear you.”
Bai Muxue was also a frightened bird. She was a little palace maid from the laundry bureau. She had experienced more hardships than others. She was often bullied by the old palace maid in the laundry bureau. Therefore, she had always been cautious and afraid of getting into trouble.
Getting lost in the palace was also because she was deliberately left behind and played with. However, she did not dare to tell others, so she could only endure all the grievances in her heart...
……
In Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was burning incense when a eunuch from Cining Palace reported,""Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the East and West Factories are arresting people…"
The Empress Dowager continued to burn incense and recite scriptures, unmoved.
After a while, the Empress Dowager finished giving the Diamond Sutra and said softly,""Isn't it just a small drug case? What was there to be surprised about? It was very strange for such things to happen in other places, but in the palace, there were invisible plots and infighting everywhere. There were invisible swords and sabers everywhere. It was very normal!”
When Emperor Hongzhi was still alive, he was married to Empress Zhang.
How many storms had the two of them experienced?
She had seen many cruel killings in the palace.
There were even more people who poisoned Emperor Hongzhi back then!
The poison case in the imperial kitchen was a test for the emperor. He had to grow up and experience the cruelty of life himself!
……
Chuxiu Palace.
Bai Muxue and a few palace maids and eunuchs were planting flowers.
"Your Majesty has arrived!”
The eunuchs and maids of Chuxiu Palace knelt down to welcome him.
Bai Muxue was moved.
She remembered the helplessness and confusion she felt in the Lost Palace that day. At that time, she was terrified and helpless.
It was him who had appeared in front of her.
It was a young man who was like a neighbor's brother. He stopped the others from reprimanding her.
She followed him into Yangxin Palace Hall. At that time, she did not know that he was the Emperor!
However, after that day, she rarely saw him.
Even though she was conferred the title of a lady and moved into Chuxiu Palace, she never saw him again.
After Zhu Houzhao entered Chuxiu Palace, he saw Bai Muxue, who was conferred the title of Lady.
"Your Majesty…"
"Rise."
The eunuchs and serving girls stood up and retreated. Bai Muxue looked at Ouyang Jing 'er and Shangguan Haitang who were standing behind Zhu Houzhao. She was puzzled.
After Zhu Houzhao entered Bai Muxue's room, he ordered Shangguan Haitang and Ouyang Jing 'er to wait outside. The only one who followed him in was Cao Zhengchun.
After all, Cao Zhengchun was the supervisor of the East Chamber, and his martial arts were unparalleled. Recently, there was a poison incident in the imperial kitchen.
There were many imperial guards in Yangxin Palace Hall, so Cao Zhengchun did not need to follow them. However, he could not let his guard down in other places.
After entering Bai Muxue's room, Zhu Houzhao turned around and looked at Cao Zhengchun.""What? Are you afraid that a weak woman like her will harm me?”
Your Majesty, I don't dare to think that way, but I don't dare to leave…"
Cao Zhengchun had made it clear that he would not leave the Emperor's side. Otherwise, if anything happened to the Emperor in front of him, it would be a great crime that would implicate his entire family!
Seeing Cao Zhengchun's insistence, Zhu Houzhao did not chase him away. After all, he did not come to Bai Muxue this time because he wanted to ask her some questions.
"Your Majesty…I…I…"
Bai Muxue looked up at Zhu Houzhao and quickly lowered her head.
There was a kind of emotion called the secret promise of a heart.
There was a feeling called protection.
Bai Muxue had no one to rely on in the palace. It was this young man who brought her endless warmth. Moreover, he often heard others talk about the emperor. The emperor was benevolent and never killed in vain.
However, the emperor had awed the world and quelled the rebellion of the Jurchen in Liaodong!
