Chapter 266 Chapter 266: Inquire about the news

  Emperor Cheng De took a look at Chu Jinyan and said with a smile: "Then according to what you said, come..."

  Hu Qian, who was waiting at the door, heard Emperor Chengde's summons, and hurried in: "The servant is here."

   "Send Imperial Physician Xu to the Ministry of Punishment and ask someone to have a good trial. If he can survive, I will let him go." Emperor Chengde ordered.

  Hu Qian had heard it clearly outside the door just now, so he didn't ask any more questions this time, and hurriedly went to work after answering.

   After the concubine Zhen was frightened, she also turned a little bit around the corner.

The Punishment Department is the place to punish the palace people. Although torture is used, it cannot be compared with the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment. Imperial Physician Xu can still keep his mouth shut. In a place like the Ministry of Punishment where life is worse than death, Imperial Physician Xu can resist it. Strange.

  As long as Doctor Xu admits, she will be innocent.

   "Concubine Zhen, get up." Emperor Cheng De said with a faint glance at Concubine Zhen who was trembling.

  Before the truth came to light, he might not feel that the concubine Zhen was innocent.

  The concubine Zhen stood up timidly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  There was no emotion on the emperor's face, and even the concubine Zhen was very upset.

  Hu Qian personally went to the Punishment Division and took Imperial Physician Xu to the Ministry of Punishments, but did not leave, just waiting there.

  The jailers respectfully invited him to sit down and drink tea in a clean room.

   "Eunuch, sit down for a while, and the servants must hurry up and interrogate."

   "En." Hu Qian took advantage of the situation and sat down.

  The jailer bowed and retreated.

  The sound insulation effect of the small room is not good, and Hu Qian can clearly hear the screams outside while sitting in it.

  There are many serious criminals in the Ministry of Penalties. To get them to sign and pledge, sometimes they have to use extreme means.

  Physician Xu's screams mingled with these people.

  Hu Qian was not in a hurry, drinking tea quietly and waiting.

  Anyway, he went back, and he had to come back when the results came out.

If Dr. Xu was taken quietly to the Department of Punishment, then Hu Qian would have made a high profile when he was taken from the Department of Punishment to the Ministry of Punishment. However, in a short while, many concubines got the news and asked the emperor again. In Jingren Palace, women with a keen sense of smell immediately smelled an unusual smell, so some people went to Jingren Palace.

   Concubine Shu was the first to arrive.

   "The concubine sees the emperor and the empress." Concubine Shu Yingying bowed to the empress Yingying's blessed body.

  Lu Xiang and Concubine Zhen got up and saluted Concubine Shu.

  Emperor Cheng De's face was a little gentle when he saw Concubine Shu. Although he didn't love Concubine Shu, after all, he followed him since he was the prince, so there was always some affection in it.

   "Wai Li, why are you here?"

  Concubine Shu got up and looked at Emperor Chengde with a smile: "The concubine heard that Director Hu took Tai doctor Xu to the Ministry of punishment. It seems that he has committed some serious crime?"

  Emperor Cheng De was about to speak, but Empress Song interrupted him first: "Concubine Shu is well informed. Since she is here, let's sit down and wait together. You will know what crime Xu Taiyi has committed in a while."

  Her complexion was slightly gloomy, showing the majesty of a queen.

   "Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Chengde and called out.

  It was obvious, and she wanted to hear it.

  Emperor Cheng De didn't want to refute the queen's face, coughed lightly and said: "Sit down, it's not good to jump to conclusions before the matter is investigated."

  Concubine Shu choked with anger, and reluctantly sat down beside the emperor.

  Beside her sat the concubine.

  Concubine Shu looked at her pale face, raised her eyebrows a little mockingly: "What's wrong with Concubine Zhen? Her face is so ugly."

  Among all the people present, the face of the concubine Zhen looked the worst.

   Could it be that this incident has something to do with her?

  The concubine smiled vainly at Concubine Shu: "Thank you for your concern, my concubine is fine."

   Concubine Shu snorted coldly, looked away and didn't ask any more questions.

  Who cares about her?

  Not long after sitting down, Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi came together.

  After the two saluted, Empress Song said, "Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi also came here after hearing about Imperial Physician Xu?"

  Concubine Yi took two steps toward Empress Song with her handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Yes, there is everything in the palace. This concubine is curious, so I came here to inquire about the situation."

  Empress Song said: "If the two younger sisters are fine, you might as well sit down first and wait for the news together."

  Concubine Yi sat down beside Lu Xiang.

  Concubine Xian was sitting next to Concubine Yi, her expression was as gentle as water, but in the depths of her eyes that no one saw, turbulent emotions were surging.

  Physician Xu was suddenly arrested and tortured again, it was hard for Concubine Xian not to think about other things.

  Looking at the pale concubine Zhen opposite, I felt even more anxious.

  But the queen didn't have any meaning to explain.

  After the three concubines, several more concubines and nobles came one after another. Needless to say, they all came to inquire about news.

  Empress Song did not chase them away, and told them to sit down after they finished their salutes.

  The maids served tea quickly.

  Empress Song looked at the group of women sitting below, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the past, she didn't see them coming to Jingren Palace a few times except for the necessary greetings, but today they got together because of a doctor Xu.

   Seeing these nobles cast affectionate gazes at the emperor, the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch slightly.

   It is false to inquire about the news, but it is true when the emperor is thinking about asking for favor.

   But it's a pity that the emperor drank tea by himself with a teacup, completely ignoring others, and only occasionally said a few words to the queen or concubine Shu.

   Concubine Shu waited for half an hour, and then became a little impatient.

  She looked at Empress Song and said: "Empress, you don't say anything, you can't ask your concubines to wait."

  Empress Song took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Concubine Shu with dark eyes, and said casually: "You can go if you don't want to wait, and I didn't keep you."

   It's funny, it's you who came here dryly to find out the news.

   I beg you to come?

  Concubine Shu was choked by Empress Song, she stared angrily, and looked at Emperor Chengde with aggrieved expression.

   "If Concubine Shu has something to do, go back first. When Hu Qian comes back, I will order someone to invite you." Emperor Chengde said.

   It was about the concubine Zhen, and Emperor Chengde never thought of hiding it from anyone. After all, if the concubine Zhen was really wronged, there were only a handful of people in the harem who dared to do this.

  Concubine Shu gritted her teeth when she saw that Emperor Chengde not only didn't help her, but followed the queen's wishes.

   But with a gentle smile on his face, he said: "The concubine has nothing to do, I'm not afraid that the emperor will wait hard."

   Yifei immediately sneered: "Heh..."

  When Concubine Shu heard this, she stared at Concubine Yi like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Concubine Yi, why are you laughing?"

   Concubine Yi glanced lazily at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu is really a big airs, is she going to take over the palace instead of empress?"

  You don't even look whose palace this is in.

  Concubine Shu was startled, her face turned pale and pale: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

  Even though she doesn't think highly of the queen, but the emperor is still here, Yifei's words clearly branded her a crime of disrespect.
