Chapter 133
In Chunrui Palace.
Ye Chen looked at Madam Xue who saluted him, and his eyes became a little sharp.
"Mrs. Xue, lift your head up."
Ye Chen's tone was slightly deep, appearing extremely domineering.
Hearing this, Madam Xue's body trembled slightly. She raised her head in confusion and surprise, but she could hear the unfriendly tone in Ye Chen's voice, but she felt puzzled.
"Ruier."
"exist."
"Tell me, what did you talk about with Madam Xue today?"
Ye Chen asked.
"Your Majesty, I just had a small chat with Madam Xue."
Hua Rui also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly replied in a gentle tone.
"Rui'er, what did you chat about? Don't hide anything."
Hua Rui was slightly stunned. From Ye Chen's tone, she had realized the seriousness of the situation and no longer dared to hide anything.
And after Huarui finished speaking.
Ye Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Madam Xue.
"Madam Xue, you really care about my concubine."
"Haha, Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is very good. I feel like I've known her since I first met her."
Madam Xue said with a smile.
"Hmph, it feels like old acquaintance at first sight. I think it's more than that."
Ye Chen snorted coldly and said.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue was slightly stunned and felt puzzled.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"What do you mean?"
Ye Chen's eyes became extremely sharp, and he said, "Madam Xue, what have you done? Do you really want me to tell you personally?"
"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean.
Madam Xue pursed her lips, feeling somewhat unhappy in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm, though her eyes also grew a little colder.
"Are you still pretending? Qiu'er, tell Madam Xue what you have found out."
Seeing that Madam Xue was not going to be persuaded, Ye Chen stopped trying to argue with her and spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, I have learned that someone near Chunrui Palace has spread the news that Your Majesty is about to leave the palace."
Shen Qiu stood up and clasped his fists.
Upon hearing this, Hua Rui and Madam Xue's expressions changed drastically.
The emperor's whereabouts were leaked, and Hua Rui and Madam Xue naturally knew how serious this matter was.
"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about this."
Huarui immediately knelt down and said.
"Oh, Huarui, if it wasn't you who did this, then it must have been someone else who did it."
Lin Ziyun stared at Madam Xue with a sharp and cold gaze.
Such a beautiful woman turned out to have such a vicious heart.
"No, no, I haven't done this either, Your Majesty. This is the first time I've heard of this."
Mrs. Xue was a little panicked, but she was only panicked for a moment, and then she felt that there was no need to panic. After all, she was innocent and this matter had nothing to do with her.
"is it?"
Lin Ziyun looked at Madam Xue with a slightly frown on his face, but he saw calmness and even a hint of grievance on Madam Xue's pretty face.
It looks like it has never been done.
However, Lin Ziyun knew very well that people could disguise themselves, and maybe Mrs. Xue was a talented actress.
"Then tell me, besides you, who else would reveal my whereabouts?"
Ye Chen said to Madam Xue.
"this."
Madam Xue bit her lip, then smiled again and said, "Since Your Majesty said that I leaked the information, do you have any evidence?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen was speechless.
It was only after he arrived at Chunrui Palace that he discovered that Madam Xue was here. Even the eunuch that Shen Qiu had people arrest only claimed that the news spread from the vicinity of Chunrui Palace.
"Qiu'er, can you find out whose orders that little eunuch is following?"
Ye Chen turned and looked at Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu's pretty face darkened slightly, and she quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the way that young eunuch received the mission was not to contact anyone, but to directly take the bamboo tube from under a bluestone in the back garden. It will take some time to investigate."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's face darkened slightly, but Madam Xue became even more confident.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't do it. I wasn't the one who leaked the information. If you don't have evidence, you can't blame me."
Madam Xue tilted her neck high, her tone somewhat smug.
When Ye Chen saw Mrs. Xue like this, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Somebody come!"
"exist!"
"Arrest all the palace maids in Chunrui Palace and interrogate them strictly. Find out who has left Chunrui Palace during this period, and who has come to Chunrui Palace!"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said.
There are only two ways to deliver a message from Chunrui Palace. One is to deliver the message in person, and the other is to arrange for someone else to deliver the message.
As long as we find out who has left Chunrui Palace or who has come to Chunrui Palace, there is a 70% to 80% chance that they are spies.
If this person is Mrs. Xue’s man.
Then Madam Xue cannot escape responsibility!
"The emperor is still the one who wants to interrogate me."
Madam Xue frowned slightly. Ye Chen's behavior made her feel a little uncomfortable.
However, even though she was in a high position, she did not dare to oppose Ye Chen at this time, but her dissatisfaction with Ye Chen was even deeper.
"Your Majesty, you can interrogate my people if you want, but I want to return to the palace now. Can you arrange a sedan chair for me?"
Madam Xue stared at Ye Chen and said.
"Ok?"
Ye Chen looked at Madam Xue. Madam Xue had a noble and mature temperament, but her personality was obviously a bit stubborn. Even though she couldn't persuade Ye Chen, she was obviously unwilling to give Ye Chen face.
"Oh, okay. I'll give you a sedan chair and allow you to return to the palace first. Once you're back, you're not allowed to leave. I'll send people to surround your palace and won't let you have any chance to contact outsiders."
Ye Chen smiled coldly and said.
Madam Xue snorted coldly, then stood up and left.
The flower beside her moved her lips slightly, but she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Ma'am, are you going to give up on me waiting?"
Just as Mrs. Xue was about to walk out the door, a choked voice suddenly rang out.
Madam Xue trembled all over, and Lin Ziyun turned his head suddenly, and saw a palace maid kneeling down. The palace maid was crying miserably.
"Madame He."
Madam Xue frowned slightly, her face showing emotion.
But at this moment, Ye Chen's voice suddenly exploded in her ears.
"As long as the truth is revealed, I will send the person back intact. Why are you crying? Are you afraid of being found out?"
Ye Chen looked at Nanny He, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
Hearing this, Madam Xue glared at Ye Chen fiercely.
"Madame He has been with me for decades. Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Madame He is definitely not a bad person."
Madam Xue was very sure that she had attained enlightenment.
"We'll know if he's a bad guy after we interrogate him. I won't listen to anyone's one-sided words."
Ye Chen's answer was firm and decisive. He stared at Madam Xue and said word by word, "Madam Xue, you should leave now. Don't affect the Imperial Guards' investigation."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue's pretty face darkened slightly: "Emperor, are you going to torture me?"
"Oh, whether or not torture is used is none of your business."
Madam Xue bit her lip, but could only look at Nanny He and said gently, "Don't be afraid. As long as you are innocent, even if you were tortured into confessing, I will definitely give you justice and will not let anyone wrongly accuse you."
Mrs. Xue finished speaking and left.
But she didn't notice that after she finished speaking, the corners of Nanny He's mouth rose up imperceptibly, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
