Chapter 134 Unjustly Accused
"Your Majesty! Is there something wrong with this comb?"
Nan Xiang glanced at Gu Junshen who looked angry and asked softly, thinking about something in her heart.
It seems that the consequences of Xu Ziang's death are much more serious than she imagined.
She had forgotten that the Northern Dynasty's sword-bearing guards had already reached the sixth rank, and their status beside the emperor was not low.
However, Gu Junshen felt unfamiliar with Xu Ziang. Perhaps it was because Xu Ziang had just entered the palace not long ago and the emperor had used the guards less frequently in private, or perhaps Xu Ziang had relied on someone's power to enter the palace, which made him so angry.
Nan Xiang guessed that it might be the latter, otherwise Gu Junshen’s expression wouldn’t be so ugly.
"Just a guard who doesn't follow palace rules."
Gu Junshen shook his head calmly. His mood at the moment was not that good, nor that bad.
I saw several guards following him come forward and take Xu Ziang away.
After all, the sword-bearing guards hold official positions, so Gu Junshen would sometimes bring a few of them with him so that he could give them orders.
Before Xu Ziang was taken away, he glanced at Song Nanxiang.
The hatred in his eyes was hard to conceal.
In fact, he had already guessed that he had fallen into her trap since he received the letter.
But he was controlled by his emotions and had given up thinking. The only thing he wanted was to see Song Wanru.
Later he thought about it carefully and realized that the letter did come too suddenly.
But when he figured out the relationship between the two, it was already too late.
He lived two lives, and was defeated by Song Nanxiang twice, each time because of one person.
Is it really worth it?
……
The next day at noon, Jingren Palace.
Song Wanru knelt in the middle of the hall with a terrified look on her face. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were hot and tears were about to come out. She dodged everywhere, not daring to look anyone in the eye.
It’s like a person who likes to lie, who is suddenly found out of his lies and feels ashamed and embarrassed.
Queen Chen sat upright on the phoenix chair right above the main hall, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of annoyance creeping up her brows.
She only found out about the affair between a guard and a concubine in the harem in the late night.
When she heard the news, she was scared to death, but fortunately her many years of experience as a queen allowed her to calm down quickly.
This was because she soon found out that the concubine the guard had an affair with was Song Wanru, the one she had always wanted to help win favor for.
Based on her understanding of Song Wanru during this period, she didn't believe that she would do such a thing to defile the harem with the guards.
But the fact was right in front of us: the guard was holding a jade comb with the word "Wanru" on it in his arms.
This is irrefutable evidence, how should we explain it?
How do you explain the guards sneaking around outside Yu Fu Palace in the middle of the night?
He immediately sent people to Yufu Palace to arrest the person.
Song Wanru had been ill for nearly seven days, and finally she felt much better in the past two days. Her body no longer had a fever, so she went to bed early.
bang————
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, the door of the bedroom was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
Several female officials and maids walked in. The ferocious looks on their faces were so frightening that Song Wanru's mind went blank for a moment.
"Please agree to come with us."
As soon as the nanny finished speaking, Song Wanru was dragged away before she could even put on her clothes.
Afterwards, the nanny threw a piece of clothing at him to cover him up, took him to a room and locked him up.
During this period, she had resisted countless times and claimed countless times that she was the emperor's concubine, but it was all in vain and was ignored by the nanny.
The nanny finally told her that it was the Queen Mother who gave the order out of fear.
When Song Wanru heard this, she was stunned for a moment and looked extremely shocked.
Until she was locked up, she didn't know what she had done.
A quarter of an hour after the morning, when Vanilla brought her breakfast, she finally brought her the news.
It turned out that the problem was with Xu Ziang, the son of the Xu family, the county magistrate next door, whose engagement she had broken off.
But Song Wanru didn’t quite understand why Xu Ziang wanted to involve her.
It wasn't until Xiangcao told her that she was able to recover so quickly thanks to Xu Ziang.
She guessed that Xu Ziang had risked his life to come here last night because he was worried about her condition.
Unfortunately, he was caught by the patrolling eunuchs.
Also found was a jade comb that she had given him as a token of love.
It was the gift her mother gave her when she passed the imperial examination.
At that time, she gave it to him in order to show her attitude towards Xu Ziang.
I didn't expect that it would become my own death warrant.
At noon, she was brought to the main hall of Jingren Palace by the nanny.
There were already quite a few women sitting around, each with a different expression.
When Concubine Xian saw Song Wanru, whose face was extremely panicked, she immediately curled the corners of her mouth in a sneer.
She didn't expect that Song Wanru was good-looking but useless, and was completely unlike Song Nanxiang who never panicked when encountering problems.
Song Nanxiang has not come to pay her respects many times, which shows how scheming she is.
Normally, pregnant women in the harem would have to wait until they were close to giving birth before they could ask the emperor for permission to not come to pay their respects, but Nanxiang enjoyed this privilege after only about five months.
This is not something an ordinary concubine can do, not even the previously powerful Wang.
Although he has not come yet, he has lived in the hearts of many concubines.
An Da Ying and Ying Da Ying looked at Song Wanru's current appearance, biting their pale lips tightly. They seemed to see themselves in Song Wanru.
Concubine Wang's eyes flickered. She had heard that Song Nanxiang had an elder sister who also married into the palace. She thought that this was another person who was vying for power.
Now it seems that she is just an empty shell with a beautiful appearance, far inferior to the fierce Song Nanxiang.
Seeing her almond-shaped eyes becoming more and more upturned, the mockery at the corners of his mouth deepened.
The other concubines did not have any extra emotions, but there was a lot of contempt in their expressions when they looked at Song Wanru.
How foolish it is to give up being the emperor's concubine and commit adultery with a crazy guard?
"If Song from Yufu Palace agrees, she will have an affair with Xu Ziang, a sixth-rank guard. She will be committing a crime that will be unforgivable!"
Queen Chen looked serious and spoke to Song Wanru in an angry and intimidating tone.
After hearing this, Song Wanru couldn't help but shudder. She bit her lip and replied in a firm tone, "I am innocent! Please, Queen, please look into this matter!"
Her tone was mournful, as if filled with great injustice, her eyes flashed with silver tears, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
"Injustice?"
"The jade comb in Guard Xu's arms, do you dare say it's not yours?"
The queen sneered and said sarcastically.
"That was something I lost not long ago. I'm afraid it was stolen by Guard Xu. Please help me, Your Majesty."
Song Wanru knelt on the ground, knocking her head lightly. There was blood under her eyes and there were cuts on her forehead.
"You are wrongly accused? The emperor sent someone to tell me that Guard Xu has confessed. A lot of letters between you were found in Guard Xu's room. How do you explain this?"
Song Wanru's blood froze.
She actually forgot that she had been corresponding with Xu Ziang for such a long time.
