Chapter 149 The Five Powers of Imperial Concubine* (5)

Song Yuesheng slowly raised the corners of his lips.

She was mistaken.

It's not about worrying about face, but the frame-up has already been completed.

There was an unquestionable determination in Song Yuesheng's eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, and in a cold and firm voice, she instructed the two people beside her: "Qiaoxin, you go back to Jiangxue Palace first and make sure everything is normal. Qiaoyue, you follow me to the Jiuxing Division. On the way, you need to recall carefully what Taoxiang, the maid of Concubine Wen, did just now. If you have any insights, you don't need to mention them to me for now. When the Jiuxing Division asks, you can explain it in detail to Zhao Tisi."

It was her negligence.

All the concubines in the harem knew that Qiao Yue was the maid she brought from the general's mansion, and their friendship with her far exceeded that of others.

Apart from herself, Qiao Yue was naturally Wen Man's first target.

There was unquestionable majesty in Song Yuesheng's words, which instantly made the expressions of the two little maids tense and solemn.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Nine Punishments Department is as eerie and terrifying as the Ministry of Justice. Your Majesty must be careful." There was some worry in Qiao Xin's voice.

Song Yuesheng nodded gently to comfort her: "Don't worry too much, I know what to do. You just need to follow my instructions."

Although the voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable power, which slightly calmed Qiao Xin's uneasiness.

Qiao Xin lowered her head slightly, replied "yes" respectfully, turned around and left in a hurry.

Qiao Yue followed closely beside Song Yuesheng. As the two quickened their pace, the gloomy gate of the Jiuxingsi gradually came into view.

Inside the Nine Punishments Department, Zhao Ti Si shook off the blood on his knife, and his voice echoed in the empty hall: "Take them away."

The men sprang into action, moving swiftly and orderly, taking the bleeding and fainted prisoners out of the hall one by one.

Then, his gaze turned to the side and fell on the servant who reported the matter, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Does Concubine Song have any clues to tell you?" Zhao Ti Si frowned slightly.

The servant hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, Imperial Concubine Song did bring important clues. Imperial Concubine Song said that her maid had a porcelain vase on her body, which might be related to the case."

When Zhao Ti Si heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He immediately ordered: "Please ask Concubine Song to come here quickly."

After a while, the servant came in with someone.

Zhao Tisi turned around and said with a hint of inquiry in his voice: "I heard that the imperial concubine has some clues to tell you?"

"Yes." Song Yuesheng took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which wrapped a porcelain bottle.

"This porcelain vase accidentally slipped from the sleeve of my personal maid. I was originally going to Ning Huaxuan, but I didn't expect to find this unknown object on my way back. Obviously, someone did it on purpose to frame me."

She sighed softly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Therefore, I want to borrow the fingerprint identification method of the Nine Punishment Department. On the one hand, it can prove the innocence of our master and servant, and on the other hand, it will also make it easier for the Chief Secretary to find the person."

Although fingerprint identification techniques are far inferior to those used in the modern world and are time-consuming and labor-intensive, they can clear a person's name.

Moreover, the Jiuxing Division was set up by Xiao Guixi, and Wen Man didn't know the ins and outs of it. This was another reason why she asked Qiao Yue to notify the Jiuxing Division.

Chief Zhao thought carefully and decided that neither the Dali Temple nor the General's Mansion were people he could easily offend.

He waved his hand and ordered, "In this case, I have no choice but to offend you. Come, take the imperial concubine and the other concubine to have their fingerprints taken."

**

Two quarters of an hour later, outside the Nine Punishment Department.

"Your Majesty, we escaped during the shift change of the Imperial Guards. Qiaoxin could have taken advantage of the opportunity alone, but it would be difficult for the two of us to return to the Jiangxue Palace."

Qiao Yue looked worried.

Although the fingerprints have been taken, it would be extremely difficult to go back now.

Song Yuesheng smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I expected this when your mother decided to go to Ning Huaxuan. If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Guixi will send someone to invite us soon."

There were spies everywhere in the palace. She had invited the Nine Punishment Department to Ning Huaxuan and told the concubines who were watching the fun, not to mention that she had walked all the way with Wen Man. Calculating the time, they should be here soon.

Song Yuesheng looked around and saw a line of imperial guards marching in a row in the distance.

When those people saw her, they quickened their pace.

"Empress." Qiao Yue looked at the scene and grabbed Song Yuesheng's arm worriedly.

Song Yuesheng patted her gently and shook his head at her, signaling her not to worry.

Commander Zhou, who was in the lead, bowed to Song Yuesheng, then made a "please" gesture and said in a loud voice: "The Imperial Concubine fled without permission, and His Majesty is furious. I hope the Imperial Concubine will go with me."

Song Yuesheng nodded: "Please lead the way, Commander Zhou."

After walking for a while, Song Yuesheng discovered that the direction the imperial guards were heading was not towards the Jiangxue Palace, but the Plum Garden.

From afar, Steward Wu was standing in front of the gate of the Plum Garden.

After Commander Zhou brought Song Yuesheng to the Plum Garden, he and a group of people guarded outside the palace wall.

As he got closer, Song Yuesheng heard the faint laughter of a woman coming from inside.

She rubbed her fingers together.

There's a new guy so soon?

Wen Man is already a royal concubine, and I’m afraid she will have very few peaceful days in the future.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has specially asked this old servant to wait for you here. Please."

Butler Wu's voice interrupted Song Yuesheng's thoughts. He seemed to be deaf to the laughter in the garden. He just respectfully opened the gate of the plum garden for her, and slowly closed the door after they both stepped into the garden.

The red and white plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom. Song Yuesheng's eyes passed through the plum blossoms and fell directly at the end of the winding corridor.

Octagon Pavilion.

The woman in a fairy dress played the piano with a smile on her face, and the man in brocade clothes played the flute with a smile on his face.

The sounds of the flute and the piano are intertwined, harmonious and beautiful.

Occasionally they looked at each other and smiled shyly.

The same memory that Song Yuesheng received.

The immortal couple of that day may now have different minds.

Xiao Guixi was unwilling to accept the fact that Wen Man was killed by him, but every time he saw these people, he had to remember it.

Especially since Wen Man is a reborn person, full of hatred, but has to be hypocritical and treat the snake with contempt.

The two of them had a passionate love-hate relationship.

If it weren't for the mission, Song Yuesheng would have sent people to report on their interactions every day so that he could relax in the palace.

Song Yuesheng glanced towards the octagonal pavilion, and seeing that they had no intention of stopping, he sat cross-legged on the snow.

There is beautiful scenery in front of you and heavenly music in your ears.

comfortable.

No matter what others say, as long as the Sparrow Spirit's system does not detect anything that is inconsistent with the original owner's personality, she will take it as right.

“Mother…Mother…”

Song Yuesheng raised his head, put his index finger to his lips and said "hush", "Calm down and listen to the music. It's a rare opportunity to hear the emperor play the flute, so you have to cherish it."

Qiao Yue was so scared that she knelt down immediately.

The Queen has not been punished for leaving the Jiangxue Palace without permission, and now she treats Your Majesty as a person in a brothel. She is even bolder than before she entered the palace.

She couldn't handle this kind of thing. If she had known earlier, she would have switched with Qiaoxin, letting Qiaoxin accompany the Empress while she would go back to Jiangxue Palace first.

Unfortunately, someone didn't want Song Yuesheng to listen to the music and enjoy the scenery, so the music stopped just after she finished talking to Qiao Yue.

Then, a sarcastic voice came from the octagonal pavilion.

"Sister Song, why are you so ignorant of the rules when you come to visit today? In the palace, you cannot sit without the emperor's order. You sit on the floor so casually, don't you disregard the palace rules and put your majesty in a different place?"

Although the words were spoken softly, they added a subtle sense of uneasiness to the originally peaceful air.

Song Yuesheng knelt down to Xiao Guixi and said calmly: "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of punishment, I will accept it calmly."

She wasn't here to fight in the palace, so it would be better for her to stop arguing and save some time.
