C58 chamber interrogation

Grand Concubine Lan's face stiffened, anger flashing across her grief-stricken face. "I don't know how to respond to Prince Chen's words. Do you think everyone in Ning Xiu Palace is a thief?"

Xiao Yiyan's original intention was not to do so. He had just said, "I think we should unhurriedly use torture first …" Following that, someone heavily stepped on his foot. He gritted his teeth and stopped speaking.

Xiao Yijin said, "To prove the innocence of my mother's concubine, you can bring all eight palace maids who live in this room to interrogate her." Even at this point, he was still showing respect and filial piety to the empress.

The empress smiled. "No one said there's a problem with Imperial Concubine Lan. Jin'er doesn't need to worry. Clear people should know." With a wave of his sleeve, he gave the order without mercy, "Men, escort all eight palace maids who are staying here to the cell for interrogation."

Imperial Concubine Lan's expression was somewhat unsightly.

Although the Supreme Court was the torture department, in the end, it was still a public trial. There was a hearing between the Ministry of Justice and the three Divisions of the Supreme Court, so naturally, someone like her could interfere.

However, the empress had narrowed the scope of the matter down to a harem interrogation. There was nothing wrong with the procedure, but entering the chamber was a heavy punishment. Even if they didn't die, they would at least lose a layer of skin. In other words, she could determine the outcome she wanted!

Furthermore, Xiao Yijin agreed to send all eight palace maids to be interrogated together. As long as the eight of them had a unanimous statement, she would be the one to blame for all of the crimes! She couldn't help but complain about Xiao Yi Jin's inappropriate flattery. He looked at him angrily.

Xiao Yijin also realized that he had made a mistake and couldn't help but frown.

Gu Qingli thought of something. This was a good opportunity!

This matter was quickly reported to the emperor. The entire birthday party was affected by the unpleasant atmosphere, but the empress still acted as if nothing had happened and ordered the princes not to spread the news. After all, this matter concerned Imperial Concubine Lan's reputation.

Gu Qing Li was clear that there was only this little bit of time left for her to make a move. However, she had yet to figure out how to escape from the banquet.

On the way back to the Eastern Palace Hall, Hsiao Yiyan suddenly jumped a few times and complained, "Fifth Brother, can't you step on it a little more lightly? My toes are about to break! "

Gu Qingli couldn't help but giggle when she saw his pitiful expression. "Who allowed you to speak so recklessly?"

Xiao Yiyan looked at Xiao Yi Xiu, puzzled. "Fifth brother, that is your mufei! What are you trying to do by stopping me from speaking up for her? "

"It's precisely because she's my mother's consort that I can't rush to defend myself. I don't want anyone to think she's guilty and afraid of interrogation," Xiao Yi Xiu said flatly.

"That's not right, fifth brother. Although I don't know much about it, you shouldn't try to hide your little thoughts from me …"

"Okay, Yan, aren't you tired? Go back and rest. It's time to prepare for the Eternal Night Meet at night. "

"Hey, hey …" "Fifth brother, you can leave now. Let Fifth sister accompany me to have a chat and drink some tea!"

"You're not young anymore. You should be more serious now." Xiao Yixiu gripped Gu Qingli's hand tightly and sped up, shaking off the distance between them.

The two of them entered the house one after the other, and Gu Qingli bolted the door behind them.

Xiao Yixiu turned to look at her, as if he was waiting for her to ask a question.

"You …" Gu Qingli wanted to ask directly, but she suddenly remembered that if he had sent someone to follow her last night, it would have been very easy for them to suspect that she was the same person as Li Yue. However, judging from his attitude towards her, he clearly hadn't suspected that she was this far, so he definitely didn't know much.

"Why would those shoes come to Imperial Concubine Lan's palace?"

"How would This King know?" He glanced at her casually. "Maybe someone just happened to wear a pair of shoes of the same style as yours?" Which shop in the capital did you buy these shoes from? They are actually the same as the palace maid's shoes? "

Gu Qingli pursed her lips into a smile as he continued pretending. She believed that it wouldn't be so easy to get the truth from this person's mouth. Just like his relationship with Xiao Yiyan, his attitude towards Imperial Concubine Lan had never been revealed in front of Xiao Yiyan.

"Prince, I've seen my sister today, and I feel that she's in a bad mood. I want to take a look at her."

However, Xiao Yixiu only looked at her without saying a word, his eyes filled with a cold light.

"I know that you have to be cautious in the palace, but it's not like you need to go greet your own sister, right? "It doesn't make sense."

Xiao Yi Xiu finally nodded slowly. "When you see your brother-in-law, you'd better be careful when greeting him."

Gu Qingli seemed to suddenly come to a realization, "So Your Highness cares about this. Since you're so worried, why don't you come with me?"

Xiao Yi Xiu laughed coldly. "I'll go find Ah Yan." She left first.

Did he really think that he still had feelings for Xiao Yi Mo? Gu Qingli laughed. She felt more and more that this self-righteous King Mo couldn't hide the arrogance in his heart anymore.

She thought for a moment. It was really inconvenient to stay in this deep palace, so it was better to change into a palace maid's attire to walk.

After exiting the room, he found a random palace maid that was serving the prince. He placed her down easily and changed into her clothes. Then, he brought her into his room, closed the curtain and began to make up for her reflection in the mirror.

Her modern makeup techniques and the disguise techniques she had learnt at the Mo King's Manor's Book Collection Vault were enough to make her look about 60 to 70% similar to that palace maid. In any case, the princes would not live in the palace for years, so there was no doubt about it.

Afterwards, she took the opportunity to send her heart's content to Xiao Yiyan, who then sighed and pointed at the air, scolding, "Bro smelly fifth brother, you only know how to bully me. You're not even willing to lose to me in a game of chess … "If you win, you win. If you win, you run. Leaving me by myself is boring!"

Xiao Yi Xiu wasn't there! Could he be like her, just finding an excuse to slip away?

Gu Qingli's heart chilled as she hurriedly put down the tray. "This is a snack the empress told me to give to Prince Chen." He wanted to leave.

"Hey, wait."

Gu Qing Li was startled to see Xiao Yi Yan walk over. He tilted his head in curiosity and used his fingers to prop up her lower jaw. "Eh? Why do you look like my Fifth Imperial Aunt?"

Gu Qingli was shocked. Even this kid could tell? Could her disguise be that bad?

"Well, it's just a tiny bit. The shape of the face, I guess." Xiao Yiyan sighed and shook his head. "Especially her eyes. She doesn't flash like you. She always looks like a passerby when he looks at people. Ben Wang has never seen such an expression in a woman's eyes before."

"I don't understand the words of the prince. Can you allow me to take my leave?"

"Go, go." Xiao Yiyan waved his hand dejectedly as if he was just talking to himself, "Fifth brother is truly wasting this heaven's treasure …"

Gu Qingli hurried out and looked around. She didn't see any sign of Xiao Yixiu, but she suddenly thought of Ning Xiu Palace.

When they arrived outside Ning Xiu Palace, Gu Qing Li stood against the wall for a while. Seeing that there were no movements, Gu Qing Li flicked his finger, causing the eunuch guarding the door to look around, while she quickly jumped over the wall and jumped into the flower bed.

She ducked down the path between the flowers and stopped.

"Prince …"

"Mm, this prince will pay respects to mufei." Xiao Yi Xiu's voice came from afar.

Strange, he paid his respects to Imperial Concubine Lan and didn't head for the main hall. Instead, he gradually made his way to the flowerbed where the leaves were lush and flourishing.

Gu Qingli had no choice but to dive into the flower bush. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a clump of rose flowers. The wooden thorn had penetrated her dress, causing her to feel a slight pain. This bit of pain was nothing to her, so she could only endure.
