Jiang Yunshan entered the palace.
She gritted her teeth and swore that her face had been poisoned by someone. She begged the Empress to find the person with evil intentions behind the scenes.
At the time, the Emperor had been present. He placed some importance on Jiang Yunshan, this daughter-in-law who entered his dreams with the sun and moon. Also, the Crown Prince Fu was heavily guarded. Today, someone could silently poison the ce fei in the Crown Prince's palace. Maybe in the future, that person could also poison her in the Imperial Palace.
Investigate! It had to be investigated!
Ji Yu naturally received this news. The smile on his face was very meaningful. "Investigate? Perfect, I have prepared some interesting things for you as gifts. "
The result of the secret guards' investigation in the Crown Prince Fu was that they did not know what caused the poison on Jiang Yunshan's face, but they found some things in other places of the Crown Prince's inner courtyard.
For example, a strange flower from the Western Regions — Mi Xiang tuo.
This kind of thing was very rare in the Tianqi Dynasty. After the Imperial Doctor of the Imperial Hospital analyzed its composition, they came to a conclusion. This thing had the effect of causing hallucinations. If it was added to a person's diet, not only would it cause illusions, it could even affect a person's dreams.
The Emperor's expression immediately became ugly. Emperors were very suspicious. He immediately thought of the dream he had with the Empress.
The sun and moon were like a dream? This should have been a great auspicious omen, but in the recent days, not only did he not see where the auspicious omen was, the Crown Prince's fu kept on having accidents. Jiang Yunshan, the Crown Prince's new cefei, was not any different from normal people.
He suspected that someone had done something to his palace.
The Hidden Dragon Hall where the Emperor lived was completely investigated. As expected, in an inconspicuous corner of the hall, the Mi Xiang tuo was found in an ornamental pouch.
The Emperor was enraged. How could someone so casually add something to his palace?
Today, it was just a Mi Xiang tuo. What if someone wanted his life in the future?
Who had done this? Who would benefit the most from his strange dream?
The Emperor's expression was dark. He did not summon the Crown Prince. Instead, he immediately gave the order to investigate the inner palace!
The inner palace was the Empress' jurisdiction. The Emperor gave the order to investigate the inner palace but did not inform the Empress. There was naturally something fishy about this.
The Empress hurriedly dressed and came to Hidden Dragon Hall.
"Your Majesty, may I know why you've made such a big fuss?" The Empress was over forty years old, and her complexion was well maintained. Although she couldn't be compared to those teenage girls, she had the charm of a mature woman. Moreover, the years of being in a high position gave her a noble temperament that ordinary people could not compare to.
The Emperor looked at the woman he had doted on for many years and did not say anything. The so-called "Dream of the Sun and Moon" this time happened to be a dream that he and the Empress had at the same time. It was still unknown how much water there was in it and what role the Empress played.
"Yesterday, I dreamt that my ancestors warned me that there was an evil spirit in the palace, so I wanted to investigate it thoroughly," the Emperor said.
He noticed that there was a trace of unnaturalness in the Empress' eyes, and his suspicions grew.
This thorough investigation in the palace lasted for several days, although the Emperor strictly ordered that it be kept secret. Some of the aristocratic families in the Imperial City, such as the Great General's Residence, received the news. No one knew what had happened, but for a moment, the entire Imperial City became much quieter.
After ten days, the dust finally settled on the investigation of the palace.
However, the results of the investigation made the Emperor furious.
He directly went to the Empress' palace.
"My good Empress, I didn't know that you had done so many things in twenty years!" The Emperor gritted his teeth as he looked at the Empress. He threw a pile of things at her feet.
