On the other side, Su Cheng had also entered the palace.
He was naturally not here to deliver pills to the Empress Dowager. He was here to carry out an investigation mission.
The harem was a forbidden area for outsiders. He had no choice this time.
Naturally, the officials of the Imperial Court could not enter and leave on their own. They had to be accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids.
Su Cheng and a team of imperial guards also went to Zhaoyang Hall accompanied by four palace servants.
On the way, Su Cheng met the second prince, Xiao Shunyang.
The last time they came out of the peach forest, they returned to the capital together. The difference was that Su Cheng was unharmed and Xiao Shunyang was slightly injured.
Xiao Shunyang should have been resting in the residence, but he invited himself into the palace and joined the investigation.
“Your Highness.”
“Deputy Commander Su.”
The two of them greeted each other.
“Deputy Commander Su, where are you going?” Xiao Shunyang asked.
“To Zhaoyang Hall, ” Su Cheng said.
Xiao Shunyang’s expression did not change. “Deputy Commander Su, this is your first time in the palace, right? Zhaoyang Hall is the Grand Empress Dowager’s bedroom. Deputy Commander Su is an outsider, so I’m afraid it’s inconvenient. Why don’t you leave it to me? Go to the Imperial Hospital.’
The first place Xiao Shunyang drew for the investigation was the Imperial Hospital.
“The Imperial Hospital is not in this direction. The Imperial Hospital is in the former court, right?” Su Cheng had already seen the blueprint of the palace last night.
Su Cheng looked at Xiao Shunyang warily. “Something’s wrong with you!”
Xiao Shunyang smiled and said, “I entered the palace to pay my respects to Father and the Empress Dowager. In front is the Empress Dowager’s Yongshou Palace.”
Su Cheng thought for a moment. Indeed, that was the case.
Xiao Shunyang said, “I’ll report it to Grandmother and exchange it with you.”
Su Cheng refused. “There’s no need. This is a serious matter. How can it be exchanged just like that? To put it bluntly, before the truth is revealed, even you and I are suspects!”
Su Cheng was not stupid.
Although it was Xiao Shunyang who suggested the exchange, once the emperor pursued the matter, how could the emperor blame Xiao Shunyang, his biological son?
Wasn’t he the scapegoat?
“I’m going to investigate. Your Highness, forgive me for not accompanying you!”
With that, Su Cheng left without looking back.
Xiao Shunyang looked at Su Cheng’s departing back and frowned slightly.
Zhaoyang Hall received the news that the Imperial Guards would come to investigate early in the morning. The palace servants put down what they were doing and stood in the courtyard to wait for the investigation.
Little Yunzi came to the bed. “Grand Empress Dowager, it’s time to get up. The imperial guards are here.”
Zhaoyang Hall usually did not interact with the other concubines in the harem, so Bai Xihe was not so abiding to the rules. It was common for her to sleep until late in the morning.
Bai Xihe had stayed up late last night to read her storybook. She was so angry at the scumbag in the book that she didn’t want to think about it. Little Yunzi was anxious. “Aiyo, my ancestor, he’s waiting outside!”
“Who’s coming?” Bai Xihe asked sleepily.
Little Yunzi stood respectfully outside the curtain and said without looking sideways, “I heard that he’s the newly appointed deputy commander of the
Imperial Guards.”
“Let him wait!” Bai Xihe fell asleep again.
Little Yunzi was speechless.
In the small garden of Zhaoyang Hall, Su Cheng had already begun to investigate the palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies one by one.
Apart from routine inquiries, he also had to observe if they were disguised and skilled.
“Go wash your face.”
Su Cheng pointed at the well water.
The palace servants looked at each other, not understanding why they had to wash their faces.
“Once you have washed your face, come over!” Were they fine after washing up?
What if one of them was wearing a human skin mask?
Moreover, he had to check their skills to see if anyone of them had internal strength.
Seeing that more than half of the palace servants had been investigated, there was still no sign of the Empress Dowager, Su Cheng’s first reaction was to frown.
What was wrong with this Grand Empress Dowager?
She had already been urged several times. Could it be that she was hiding from the investigation?
“Lord Su, these eunuchs are skilled!” a guard reported.
A eunuch cried, “We’re innocent! We’re not from the White Lotus Society! We just learned some skills to protect ourselves before entering the palace!”
“Take him down first,” Su Cheng said seriously.
“Yes!”
The imperial guards dragged them out.
Su Cheng continued to search Zhaoyang Hall.
In the past, he used to be an escort. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to be vigilant at all times and understand all possible dangers.
He might be a little unreliable usually, but he was still very sharp at critical moments. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to successfully find Su Xiaoxiao in the bamboo forest that night.
He looked at the lawn in the courtyard and felt that something was wrong with the color.
He walked over and pressed it with his foot, then slashed at it.
It was hollow.
He called over a palace maid. “What’s this?”
The palace maid replied in a daze, “Nothing. It’s just a piece of land.”
Su Cheng followed the passageway and finally stopped in front of the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.
“Whose room is this?” he asked.
The palace servant at the side was about to speak when Little Yunzi walked out and closed the door behind him. He scolded Su Cheng, “How dare you! This is the Grand Empress Dowager’s bedroom. How dare you be impudent?”
The passageway clearly led to the room inside… Su Cheng looked at Little Yunzi warily and said, “Is the Grand Empress Dowager inside?”
Little Yunzi said, “The Grand Empress Dowager is not feeling well and is resting in bed. Don’t disturb her.” “Open the door,” Su Cheng said.
Little Yunzi was confused.
Didn’t he make it clear just now? Where did this person get the guts? Even His
Maiesty didn’t dare to use such an attitude to shout at the Grand Empress
Dowager!
Su Cheng said authoritatively, “I’ll say it again. Open the door.”
If it were anyone else, they would never have the guts to barge into the Grand Empress Dowager’s bedroom. Even Emperor Jing Xuan did not dare.
Su Cheng was a youth knowing no fear and had yet to deeply realize the status of the Grand Empress Dowager in the entire royal family. He felt that since he was investigating the case under orders, he had to do it seriously.
The emperor had said that everyone was suspicious.
This Empress Dowager was very suspicious.
Little Yunzi did not open the door.
Su Cheng swung Little Yunzi aside and kicked open the closed door.
Little Yunzi trembled with anger.
Which damn person dared to kick down the Grand Empress Dowager’s door? Was he tired of living?
“Just you wait. When the Grand Empress Dowager deals with you later, no matter if you’re Qin Canglan’s son or not, His Majesty will punish you with the death penalty!”
Bai Xihe was sleeping soundly. Who would have thought that someone would
Imock on her door fearlessly and treat her as a spy of the White Lotus Society?
“Little Yunzi, drag the person out…” She said in a daze and turned around, planning to continue sleeping.
The moment Su Cheng entered the room, he sensed the passageway under the floor that connected to the phoenix bed.
He almost immediately decided that the people inside must leave the palace often.
If this wasn’t a spy, who was?
Su Cheng strode forward, pulled out his sword with one hand, and pulled open the veil with the other. “Spy! Come out!”
The weather was hot, and Bai Xihe was wearing very little clothes. Under her thin nightdress was her graceful figure.
She lay facing outwards, her slender legs gently crossed. Every inch of her skin was as thin as white porcelain.
Her long hair fell gently on her shoulders, half covering her proud face..
