"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes and said coldly. The killing intent in his eyes became even stronger, and he increased the strength of his palm.
The young eunuch struggled madly. His face was already red from holding it in and he could not breathe at all. He felt as if he was going to be squeezed to death in the next moment!
"Yu Huatian, how dare you!”
Cao Zhengchun roared in rage. He did not expect Yu Huatian to actually dare to touch his own people in his own East Chamber. He was too arrogant!
If he didn't make a move, the entire East Hall would be suppressed by the West Hall in the future!
Swoosh--
Therefore, Cao Zhengchun turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Yu Huatian, striking out with his palm!
"Humph!"
Yu Huatian snorted coldly. Without any fear, he flipped his hand and struck out with his palm!
Pa--
The next moment, a crisp sound rang out.
Yu Huatian did not move, but his hands were trembling slightly!
Cao Zhengchun, on the other hand, took a few steps back before stopping!
Moreover, with every step he took, the floor tiles would crack open!
The two of them exchanged blows, and the victor was immediately determined!
Although the two of them had similar martial strength, Yu Huatian was a few points higher!
One had to know that the two of them were considered to have reached the level of a famous general. A few points higher could often determine the outcome of a battle!
Therefore, even though Yu Huatian was only a few points stronger than Cao Zhengchun, he was still able to suppress Cao Zhengchun!
"You…"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cover his chest in anger.
Yu Huatian ignored him. He stared at the little eunuch in his hand and said,"Last chance!"
The young eunuch was in despair. Seeing that even the Factory Duke could not save him, fear had taken over his entire body. Without even thinking, he blurted out with difficulty," It's Wan Zhaoyi... Wan Zhaoyi's instructions..."
Pa--
As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, Yu Huatian let go of his hand and casually threw him on the ground without even looking at him.
Yu Huatian got the answer he wanted. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile as he said,"No wonder the East Chamber didn't dare to make a move. It's because the mastermind is a member of the royal family!”
"However, West Hall is not afraid, so what if it's a member of the royal family? Since he dared to poison Yangxin Palace Hall, he would still be captured!”
Then, Yu Huatian waved his robe and said without even looking at Cao Zhengchun and the others,"People from the West Branch, follow the workers and capture the poisoning suspect!”
With that, the people from the West Hall followed Yu Huatian, bringing with them a solemn killing intent as they walked towards the rear palace!
Cao Zhengchun's face turned red and white. He glanced at the young eunuch who was panting heavily on the ground. He slowly walked forward and gently stroked his head.
"Factory Master…I…"
The young eunuch was still in shock. His heart was filled with joy from surviving a disaster and was about to continue explaining.
However, the next moment, Cao Zhengchun squeezed the eunuch's head and it exploded on the spot!
"Your mouth is not tight." Cao Zhengchun said coldly. Then, he waved his hand and led the people from the East Chamber toward the rear palace!
After all, he couldn't let the West Hall do everything. Otherwise, the East Hall would be inferior to the West Hall in the future!
Along the way, all the palace maids and eunuchs avoided the people from the two factories. They didn't dare to offend them and only dared to whisper.
"Why are the people from the West Hall in the harem?”
"Apart from the people from the West Hall, there are also people from the East Hall!”
"I feel that they are so terrifying!"
"Yeah, nothing good happens wherever they go!”
……
Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun did not linger in the harem.
After all, this was the imperial harem, the emperor's back garden. It was not a place where anyone could enter. Even if they did, they had to enter and leave quickly!
Thus, Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun headed straight for their destination!
Zhaoyi could be considered to have some status in the inner palace. According to the official rank, she was a full three grades!
Therefore, the Wan Zhaoyi that the young eunuch mentioned had her own palace in the harem. It was not difficult to find her.
At this moment, Wan Zhaoyi, who was dressed luxuriously in jewelry, was playing with a magpie in a cage.
"Why do you think His Majesty never comes to the harem? Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he had been staying in Yangxin Palace Hall every day. He must have been charmed by the vixen from Yangxin Palace Hall!”Wan Zhaoyi smiled." However, there's no hurry. According to the time, that vixen is gone. His Majesty will definitely visit the harem frequently in the future!"”
As she spoke, Wan Zhaoyi's eyes revealed endless imagination. She smiled and said,""At that time…as long as I can capture His Majesty's heart, BenGong's position will rise sooner or later. If I can conceive a dragon son, I will be able to soar into the sky and enjoy the honor of the harem alone!”
Thinking of this, Wan Zhaoyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Wow, Wan Zhaoyi is really in a good mood!”
At this moment, Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun led the people from the two factories into the hall.
"You are?" Wan Zhaoyi furrowed her brows, looking displeased.
After all, she was Zhaoyi. Other than the Empress who was older than her, almost everyone had to pay their respects to her when they saw her!
No one dared to walk into the main hall like Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun did. There were no rules!
Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian smiled at the same time.
Although they knew that Wan Zhaoyi was the one who poisoned them, Wan Zhaoyi was still a member of the royal family, so Jiang Chen had the final say on how to deal with her.
Therefore, the two of them still had to abide by the most basic rules!
After all, Jiang Chen hadn't spoken first. If they were disrespectful to Wan Zhaoyi, it would be disrespectful to the royal family and disrespectful to Jiang Chen!
Therefore, the two of them cupped their hands and bowed to Wan Zhaoyi. They said respectfully,"
"This servant, the West Military Bureau's commander, Yu Huatian, greets Empress Wan!”
"This servant, the East Chamber's commander, Cao Zhengchun, greets Empress Wan!”
Wan Zhaoyi was satisfied. She waved her sleeves and put on airs, saying proudly,""So, you are the two eunuchs who made the entire court tremble in fear? Speak, why are you looking for this prince!”
"Niangniang, there are some matters that I'm afraid you have to come with us.”Cao Zhengchun laughed, appearing even more tactful, his tone without the slightest sharpness.
After all, Cao Zhengchun didn't want to offend Wan Zhaoyi before she was convicted. He was afraid that Jiang Chen wouldn't convict Wan Zhaoyi. Wouldn't he have offended the royal family?
However, Wan Zhaoyi didn't appreciate it at all. She snorted and said,""What's wrong? Your East and West Factories are capturing criminals, and you're bringing them to me? Do you know who bengong is? You want this prince to leave, so this prince has to follow you? How impudent!"
Yu Huatian's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a tough tone,"Empress, whether you agree or not, you have to come with us today!”
"You…you're so audacious!”Wan Zhaoyi was so angry that her delicate body trembled.""Don't tell me you still want to capture bengong into your imperial prison and use torture to extort a confession!”
Yu Huatian frowned slightly, but his expression did not change as he said,"Niangniang, we are also following His Majesty's orders to invite you to Yangxin Palace Hall, not the imperial prison!”
Yu Huatian saw that the hard way didn't work, so he could only use Jiang Chen. Otherwise, would he have to do it in the harem? No matter how tough he was, he did not have the guts!
As expected, Yu Huatian's move worked!
In the beginning, Wan Zhaoyi refused to leave with Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun, but when Yu Huatian mentioned Jiang Chen, Wan Zhaoyi was conflicted and had to agree!
At this moment, Wan Zhaoyi's heart was also filled with anxiety. She thought that her poisoning must have been exposed.
However, she was still not worried. She thought to herself that she was still a dignified third grade Zhaoyi. What was wrong with poisoning a mere servant without rank? Could it be that he wanted to banish her into the Cold Palace?
Thus, Wan Zhaoyi no longer hesitated and followed Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian towards Yangxin Palace Hall.
At this time, Jiang Chen was in Yangxin Palace, waiting for the results of the investigation!
The one day time limit that he had given was up!
At this time, Liu Zhuo ran to Jiang Chen and carefully said,""Your Majesty, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian request an audience.”
"Announce!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"Here!"
Liu Zhuo nodded and shouted at the top of his voice,"Cao, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, please meet me in the hall!”
At this moment, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian lowered their heads like two children who had made a mistake. They walked into the hall and cupped their hands in unison.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!"
"How's the investigation going? Any results?"
Jiang Chen asked indifferently.
"Your Majesty, there are results!”
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly replied.
"Speak!"
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"This…"
Cao Zhengchun didn't know what to say.
Yu Huatian said directly," Your Majesty, this was done by the Empress of the harem because of jealousy. The culprit behind the poisoning was Wan Zhaoyi. When the Empress saw that Your Majesty stayed in Yangxin Hall day and night and doted on Zhao Xuanshi, she was jealous and had the idea of poisoning Zhao Xuanshi!”
A cold light flashed across Jiang Chen's eyes. He didn't expect the people who poisoned him to be the concubines in the harem!
Furthermore, it was because of jealousy, and it caused an accident. It was a palace fight caused by jealousy!
As expected, where there were people, there would be martial arts. Even the seemingly calm harem was actually filled with undercurrents!
However, Jiang Chen thought about it and felt relieved. There were many beauties in the harem, and there were quotas for the empress, imperial consorts, and concubines. There were countless nobles, consorts, talents, attendants, and beautiful women, but there was only one emperor. Anyone would fight to climb up and occupy the quota!
After all, only by occupying a certain position could one have a certain amount of power!
Therefore, since ancient times, the inner court of the imperial palace had always been like this. In order to gain the emperor's favor and obtain the opportunity to ascend the throne, they had always schemed and schemed!
Those who succeeded would bring glory to their ancestors and enjoy glory and wealth. Those who failed would be crushed to pieces and die an unnatural death!
Therefore, although the harem was usually glamorous, it was not difficult to imagine how many people died in the harem every year!
Especially for those with lower status, such as Flying Sparrow Zhao and Diao Chan, as long as they received the emperor's favor or attention, they would be killed by the other concubines to avoid posing a threat to themselves!
Obviously, Wan Zhaoyi poisoned Flying Sparrow Zhao because she was jealous that Flying Sparrow Zhao was favored by Jiang Chen, which caused Jiang Chen to never enter the harem. This posed a threat to her and made her wait for Jiang Chen's blessing. Therefore, she decided to kill Flying Sparrow Zhao first!
After all, for the concubines in the harem, as long as they could get Jiang Chen's favor and get rid of dissidents, it was worth it no matter what!
For example, if Flying Sparrow Zhao didn't receive Jiang Chen's favor and was lucky enough to become Jiang Chen's first woman, and she was also a famous consort!
According to her status, even if she was poisoned to death, it would eventually be left unsettled and no one would know.
After all, every year, there were too many beautiful women, palace maids, and attendants who died tragically for various reasons in the palace.
However, Jiang Chen also knew that the palace war was inevitable. There were many beauties in the harem who wanted to get his favor, but he was only one person, so it was difficult to share the rain and dew equally.
Therefore, palace fights only happened in the harem. Jiang Chen could turn a blind eye and ignore it.
However, this time, the poison had even reached Yangxin Palace Hall!
How could Jiang Chen tolerate this!
"Where is he? Bring him in!"
Jiang Chen said.
"ChenQie greets Your Majesty!"
Wan Zhaoyi bowed politely.
Jiang Chen sized up Wan Zhaoyi. Although her beauty and figure were not as good as Feiyan Zhao and Diao Chan, she was not ugly. Her charm was around 70, which was considered good.
Moreover, from the outside, she looked like a virtuous mother. Who would have thought that she was actually the mastermind behind the poisoning!
You really can't judge a person's heart by their appearance. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea!
"But you…poisoned him?"
Jiang Chen asked.
Wan Zhaoyi didn't avoid it. She didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all. She thought," Isn't it just poisoning a servant?"
Thus, she nodded and said,""Your Majesty, this concubine is also thinking for Your Majesty. That vixen has been seducing Your Majesty all day long, causing Your Majesty to not even come to the harem once after Your Majesty ascended the throne. This concubine is also eliminating the evil!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was so angry that he laughed. Then, he slammed the table and angrily said,"
"So, do you think it's reasonable for you to poison me? Where was this place? Yangxin Palace Hall! What if I drink that bowl of soup? Are you also eliminating evil? Are you also thinking for me? You're trying to poison me!"
