Yangxin Palace Hall.
Jiang Chen's expression was also extremely cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He also wanted to see who dared to poison Yangxin Palace.
Diao Chan saw that Jiang Chen had a lot on his mind, and her heart was full of worry. She wanted to help Jiang Chen solve his problems, but she knew she couldn't do anything!
Therefore, all she could do was serve Jiang Chen and let him relax.
So, after Diao Chan brewed a pot of tea for Jiang Chen, she obediently stepped forward, reached out her slender hands, massaged his shoulders, and said gently,"
"Your Majesty, this matter will definitely be investigated. You don't have to worry too much. Sister Yan 'er will definitely be fine. You must also take care of your dragon body.”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. He almost forgot that he returned to Yangxin Palace to rest. He didn't expect to be poisoned!
Jiang Chen wanted to investigate the poisoning.
As for rest and enjoyment, Jiang Chen couldn't let it go.
After all, his Constitution and Health were only at 40 points. If he did not rest well, he would probably collapse from overwork before anyone poisoned him!
Jiang Chen rubbed his temples and felt a wave of fatigue. He leaned back on the throne and said,""Chan 'er is good at dancing, why don't you dance for me?”
"It is this servant's honor to dance for His Majesty!”Diao Chan smiled and bowed slightly to Jiang Chen before she started dancing in the hall.
There was no music accompaniment, no palace maids to dance with, only Diao Chan.
But even so, it was enough.
Diao Chan's dance alone was equivalent to a hundred people dancing!
It was all because Diao Chan was simply too beautiful. She was so beautiful that she was like a fairy from the Heavenly Palace!
Her smile was like the blooming of a hundred flowers, and her clear voice was like the singing of a hundred birds!
Her every move was full of infinite charm, making people intoxicated by her dance and immersed in her beauty.
Flying Sparrow Zhao and Diao Chan were two completely different types of beauty.
Flying Sparrow Zhao was charming and seductive!
Diao Chan, on the other hand, was pure beauty. Her exquisite facial features and graceful figure could not be found at all, making people completely addicted and unable to extricate themselves!
Flying Sparrow Zhao's dance was like a charming fairy that made people want to move!
When Diao Chan danced, she was like a fairy among the flowers, making people feel extremely sweet!
Even Jiang Chen, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be attracted by Diao Chan's smile. He sighed in his heart. She was indeed a peerless consort. In terms of beauty, even Flying Sparrow Zhao couldn't compare to her!
Pa, pa, pa--
The song and dance ended.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but applaud. Great kindness! Chan 'Er's dance is beyond my imagination!”
Diao Chan blushed as she didn't expect Jiang Chen to praise her. She bowed and said,""If Your Majesty likes it, Chan 'Er can dance for Your Majesty every day.”
Then, Diao Chan continued," Your Majesty, it's getting late. Your Majesty has been working day and night recently. You must be tired. Let this servant help Your Majesty change and go to bed!"”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's mouth curved into a thought-provoking smile. He didn't expect Diao Chan to take the initiative to ask to go to bed. She was really obedient and considerate!
Diao Chan blushed and looked shy, but she didn't hesitate. She obediently followed Jiang Chen to the inner hall, carefully changed her clothes, and took off her pink tulle.
After all, from the moment Jiang Chen helped her take revenge, she had made up her mind that in this life, no matter what, she was Jiang Chen's woman!
Moreover, it was a great honor to be the woman of a king!
Other women could not even get the king's favor!
That was why Diao Chan took the initiative to request. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but she also felt a little anticipation and pride!
Not long after, she took the initiative to lie down on the dragon couch and quietly waited for the King's arrival!
Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Diao Chan to be so obedient and proactive!
This made Jiang Chen's heart give Diao Chan more points!
He admired the exquisite artwork in front of him. Then, he slowly reached out and gently stroked her exquisite face…
"Ah!"
From time to time, sparkling tears would accumulate at the corners of Diao Chan's eyes!
Although she looked like she was in pain, there was only happiness and love in her eyes!
She even smiled and thought to herself,""I've finally become the king's woman!”
……
A spring breeze accompanied by a drizzle, thunder and lightning intermingled, and rumbling sounds rang out continuously!
It wasn't until dawn the next day that Jiang Chen slowly woke up from his sleep!
Since the start of the war, this was the most comfortable sleep Jiang Chen had.
When Jiang Chen woke up, he felt refreshed and energetic. All his fatigue was swept away and he felt comfortable!
He could even clearly see that his Health and Constitution attributes had recovered a lot, rising from 40 points to 60 points.
What surprised Jiang Chen the most was the sudden change in the situation. It also triggered Diao Chan's skill,[Ritual and Music Mastery](Through Favor, each increase of 1 - 10 points in literature attribute)!
Overnight, Jiang Chen's literature attribute increased by 20 points!
What was happy learning? This was called happy learning!
The speed at which his literary attributes increased was faster than Jiang Chen reading books in the library for a few days!
This was the benefit of being a peerless consort!
What was pleasure?
In the future, there would be no enjoyment in front of Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen only wanted to study and improve his literary attainments!
At this time, because Diao Chan was like Flying Sparrow Zhao, she didn't have a position, so she couldn't sleep with Jiang Chen. She got up early in the morning and obediently waited by the bed for the whole night.
When Diao Chan saw Jiang Chen wake up, she immediately stepped forward and bowed,""This servant greets Your Majesty!"
However, one could clearly see that after a night of rolling, Diao Chan's face was also filled with fatigue. She even limped when she walked. It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain!
However, even so, Diao Chan still gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.
This had something to do with her strong personality!
However, she was in pain and pretended to be strong, which made her look different.
Jiang Chen saw everything with his eyes and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. The strong Diao Chan successfully ignited the flames of conquest in Jiang Chen's heart!
Hence, he grabbed Diao Chan's wrist and said,""I want to see how long you can last!”
Then, Jiang Chen's glory reappeared!
"Your Majesty…please spare my life…"
Diao Chan couldn't help but scream.
……
At the same time, the investigation of the East and West Depots was still going on nervously!
The day Jiang Chen gave them was almost up!
The two factories had also found some clues!
Among them, the East Branch had more clues than the West Branch!
After all, the East Chamber was in charge of the inner palace and the search of enemy countries.
West Hall was responsible for the intelligence of the people, as well as the investigation of the officials and nobles.
The two divisions were responsible for different areas of intelligence. The East Division naturally had an advantage when investigating in the depths of the palace!
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun had already found out that Flying Sparrow Zhao was poisoned because she had drunk a bowl of health soup!
And this bowl of health soup came from the imperial kitchen!
Therefore, Cao Zhengchun went all out and directly detained all the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen that day in the imperial prison.?
The imperial chefs knew how terrifying the Eastern and Western Factories and the Embroidered Uniform Guards were. They also knew what kind of place the Imperial Prison was. As long as anyone was brought here, they would not have a good ending!
Therefore, when they were brought to the Imperial Prison and saw the various kinds of torture and prisoners in the Imperial Prison, their faces instantly turned pale and bloodless. Their bodies trembled, and many imperial chefs were so scared that they peed their pants!
One could imagine how terrifying the imperial prison was!
To ordinary people, this place was like the 18th level of hell!
As for Cao Zhengchun, he personally came to the imperial prison to interrogate him.
He didn't use torture to force a confession. He just had all the imperial chefs stand by the side and ordered someone to drag a prisoner on death row over.
He calmly placed the iron pincers in the fire in front of everyone and slowly burned them red. Then, he walked to the death row prisoner and said calmly,"If you had confessed earlier, why would you have to suffer such torture?”
Then, Cao Zhengchun placed the red-hot iron clamp on the face of the prisoner on death row.
Sizzle---
In an instant, thick smoke rose up, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air!
"Ah!"
The prisoner's heart-wrenching screams also soared into the sky!
However, in the imperial prison, it was useless even if he shouted to the heavens. He could only endure the pain and torture!
Meanwhile, Cao Zhengchun introduced the dishes to the royal chefs unhurriedly,""This person has committed a crime. Do you see the scar on his face? It's hot again! It's hot again! Until he confesses!"
Then, Cao Zhengchun waved his hand.
The next moment, another prisoner was carried in and tied to a wooden stake.
He saw that the prisoner's body was covered with wounds of various sizes. There were no less than thousands of them. Just looking at them made him feel pain!
Cao Zhengchun grabbed a handful of salt and slowly sprinkled it on his wound.
"Ah! Ah!"
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from the prisoner's mouth again.
As for Cao Zhengchun, he didn't stop. He kept changing the prisoners and torture methods!
The royal chefs at the side were completely scared silly!
In the end, Cao Zhengchun walked up to the imperial chefs with a cold smile and said,"
"Everyone has already seen that these are the consequences of not confessing. I've already given you some face by showing you. Do you know what I want to investigate? Who made this bowl of health soup?”
"If anyone of you takes the initiative to admit it, you can be exempted from the torture. If no one admits it, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll let everyone experience the torture just now. Sooner or later, someone will confess!”
Hearing this, the imperial chefs trembled, their hearts filled with extreme fear.
"Zhao Rang! You've always been in charge of the health soup!”
"Yeah, you must have done this, right?”
"I remember that you were the only one making the health soup two days ago. It must be you!”
"Lord Factory Duke, it's none of our business!”
……
At this moment, a young royal chef called Zhao Rang was pushed out.
Cao Zhengchun's lips curled into a cold smile. This was the effect he wanted.
Although he knew that there was a problem with the imperial kitchen, it was too troublesome to interrogate them one by one. Time waited for no one.
Moreover, the person who really did it might not necessarily confess!
Therefore, he thought of a way to bring all the imperial chefs to visit the Imperial Prison and make them feel fear. Then, he threatened them. The person in charge of cooking the poisonous health soup would naturally be exposed by his own people, saving a lot of time!
Zhao Rang, the royal chef, was clearly scared out of his wits. The various tortures from before flashed through his mind, and his psychological defenses instantly collapsed. He knelt on the ground and trembled as he said,
"Factory Master…I confess, don't torture me, I confess everything…but…but I'm just following orders!”
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes. He knew that a mere imperial chef would not dare to poison Yangxin Palace Hall. There must be a mastermind behind the scenes!
"Who is it?" Cao Zhengchun asked.
A hint of hesitation appeared in Zhao Rang's eyes, but after looking at the hellish environment around him, he gritted his teeth and told Cao Zhengchun!
Cao Zhengchun's eyes narrowed in shock.
Obviously, the real mastermind was beyond Cao Zhengchun's expectations!
"Lock this person up and watch him closely!”Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
The eunuchs agreed and locked Zhao Rang in the imperial prison.
Cao Zhengchun returned to the East Chamber.
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun's heart was also filled with conflict. He knew who the mastermind was, but he was hesitating whether he should catch him or not!
At this moment, Yu Huatian brought the people from the West Hall and rushed to the East Hall.
"I heard that the East Military Hall has already investigated who the mastermind is.”Yu Huatian asked with interest.
"What's wrong? Do you want to interfere in the East Branch's business?”Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice.
Yu Huatian laughed." You've already found out. Why didn't you go and capture him?" Do you want to defy the Sacred?"
"This is not something you should care about. Why do you have to tell me what to do? What do you think the West Military Yard is?”Cao Zhengchun said coldly.
Hearing this, Yu Huatian's eyes flashed with a cold light. Then, as if he had heard the biggest joke, he laughed loudly towards the sky and said,
"You're asking me what the West Hall is? Good! I'll tell you now. Listen well!”
"If the East Chamber doesn't dare to arrest him, I will! What the East Chamber doesn't dare to do, I do! I'll kill those who the East Chamber doesn't dare to kill!"
"In short, I want to manage what the East Military Hall can manage, and I want to manage what the East Military Hall can't manage!”
"Acting first and reporting later, the imperial authority gives special permission. This is the West Chamber!”
"East Hall? Cowardly! In my opinion, it's better to disband on the spot!"
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
Yu Huatian's eyes turned cold. He moved and instantly appeared beside a eunuch from the East Chamber!
This little eunuch was Cao Zhengchun's trusted aide!
Yu Huatian immediately grabbed the young eunuch by the neck!
Although the little eunuch knew martial arts, he was no match for Yu Huatian. He was instantly lifted up like a little chick.
"Tell me, who is the mastermind!"
Yu Huatian asked in a murderous tone.
A chill instantly spread throughout the little eunuch's body. It was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, bone-piercing!
