I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Chapter 122 The Secret Door Reappears

"After Master Lin was locked up in the woodshed, I asked the maid in the mansion about the whole story. It was indeed pearl milk tea that caused Concubine Chen's miscarriage." Guard Li reported.

"So, Princess Mu's investigations are all accurate."

"Not really. The cup of pearl milk tea that Chunmei bought at the beginning was used by Mr. Zhao Si to splash on Master Lin, and it was the subordinate who blocked it with his body. Master Lin was kind enough to help Chunmei, and asked Green Tea to go to the shopkeeper to buy another one and handed it to Chunmei. All the actions were in full view of the public, without any concealment.

However, Chunmei returned to the palace alone with pearl milk tea, and no one knew what happened in the meantime. The most suspicious thing is that Chunmei had been beaten to death and there was no evidence. The most strange thing was that the subordinates secretly investigated and found that Chunmei's body seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.

And there is Green Tea, Master Lin's personal maid. She is not dead. I saved her and hid her somewhere!" Guard Li said.

"Oh! You are smart. In this case, A Yan must have been wronged. Chunmei's death is too strange. It doesn't matter. The palace is not that big. We can interrogate all the people who had contact with Chunmei that day, and we will soon find clues." Zhao Yuan calmed down and began to think, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became deep.

"Who is behind this? And who wants to put A Yan to death?" Zhao Yuan muttered to himself, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

The people in the palace need to be cleaned up. Several princesses died inexplicably in the past. Will the same thing happen again? How come Princess Mu is fine?

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that things might be more complicated than he thought.

The mother has always been very wary of A Yan. This is just a problem between them. Who knew about it?

First he killed his child, then he killed his concubine, and finally he made the mother and son turn against each other, which was a three-birds-with-one-stone plan. But the key figure Chunmei died so easily and disappeared, which was too weird.

Poor Ayan was beaten for no reason. Zhao Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he thought of this. He felt very sorry for Ayan lying on the dying bed and felt extremely remorseful and angry.

"However, this news spread very quickly. It reached my mother's ears in just half a day. Who told my mother this news?" Zhao Yuan paused for a while and muttered to himself. After all, my mother lived in the deep palace and it was difficult for her to contact people from the outside world.

"I don't know," Guard Li replied, adding, "I can't enter the palace to investigate this matter."

He turned to Guard Li and said, "Immediately detain all the people in Concubine Chen's courtyard and the several stewards in the mansion in the dungeon. I want to interrogate them personally.

In addition, sending someone to protect Green Tea and ensure her safety can be regarded as a little compensation to A Yan. This king will definitely investigate thoroughly and clear A Yan's name." He knew that A Yan didn't care about him at all, so how could she care about how many children he had?

Zhao Yuan's tone was firm and decisive. He had turned a blind eye to everything that had happened in the palace in the past, but this time he would not let it go.

As Zhao Yuan issued his order, the entire palace suddenly became busy, and an investigation into the truth was about to begin...

"Zhai Zizhuang, what do you say about what happened in the mansion?" Zhao Yuan sat on the chair with a gloomy face, looking at the butler waiting outside the door, his tone filled with anger and blame.

Zhai Zizhuang lowered his head, walked into the house, and knelt down respectfully. He was nervous, but he still answered: "Please punish me, Your Majesty. I can't stop them. Those women came with the token of Concubine De, and I dare not stop them. We can only delay time as much as possible and send people to find Your Majesty, but who knew that Your Majesty was sent out on official business." As he spoke, he lowered his head even lower, with his forehead almost touching the ground, to show his obedience and apology.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with anger, and then he stood up and walked in front of Zhai Zizhuang. He said coldly: "You are a bunch of trash, why do I need you? You can't even protect a person!" He kicked Zhai Zizhuang in the chest and knocked him to the ground.

Zhai Zizhuang quickly got up and knelt down again, with cold sweat on his forehead. He knew that he had made a big mistake and could not escape punishment. So, he said in a trembling voice: "I know I was wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan stared at him for a moment, and finally said, "Go down, and receive ten strokes of the cane first. Then go back and think about it carefully for me, and tell me what you think immediately. Otherwise, I don't mind replacing someone else to be the chief steward of the Rui Palace." After saying that, Zhao Yuan

Your Majesty, you are really angry this time. Some people have done a lot of tricks behind your back. Don't assume he doesn't know. Zhai Zizhuang nodded, thanked the prince, and slowly retreated. Although he was beaten, at least he saved his life.

He understood that this incident had affected his position in the palace, and he had to find a way to regain the prince's trust.

He immediately handed over some evidence to Zhao Yuan quietly. He had to pay more attention to Master Lin in the future. He went back and took out the 100-year-old life that he treasured, and asked the maid to stew it for Lin Yan.

Zhao Yuan's vigorous interrogation soon revealed some clues: a maid named Mu Yao, who looked ordinary, had an encounter with Chunmei that day.

Mu Yao tried her best to deny it, but Zhai Zizhuang took out a big gold bracelet from her package, which was something that an ordinary maid like her could never own.

Mu Yao wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but was quickly stopped by the guard Cao. He held Mu Yao's chin tightly, making her unable to move. Her actions made people feel that the matter was even more suspicious.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do these things?" Zhao Yuan roared, his eyes full of anger and determination.

Mu Yao looked at Zhao Yuan's cold eyes, and was terrified, but she still refused to speak. However, as time went on, she finally couldn't bear the pressure and told the name of a person - the second prince Zhao Wei.

This answer was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Second Prince, why did you ask someone to drug Chen Qingqing? Zhao Yuan racked his brains to think about the two people who were not in a hurry, but he couldn't think of a reason.

Later, more secrets were revealed. Problems occurred in the inner tea room, meeting room, big kitchen and other places in the palace, and a mysterious organization, the secret door, was also involved.

An organization that gives Zhao Yuan a headache.
