Chapter 217 Concubine Li Fights Back
Since he came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs abnormally, it means that there must be something important.He could recognize Shi Ziye and fully rely on Shi Ziye's fame outside, and no one in Shengjing didn't know Shi Ziye.

"Are you the only one in your house today?" Gu Mo's pause made him look even colder.

Now Zhong Yuanwailang could only feel the coldness all over his body, and shivered a little.

"Yes...they all went to rest today, and it happens that the palace doesn't have so many things to deal with today." Zhong Yuanwailang said lightly.

"By coincidence? Rest?" Gu Mo caught the key words in Zhong Yuanwailang's words and repeated them.

And Zhong Yuanwailang didn't seem to notice any problem, just nodded blankly.

"Yes."

Gu Mo was silent, and Zhong Yuanwailang saw with his own eyes that the coldness in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper, as if he was about to freeze him, so he couldn't help but tremble a little.

Gu Mo, who frowned slightly, noticed the strangeness of Zhong Yuanwailang.

"Why are you shaking?" Gu Mo asked impatiently.

"Chen... I'm just a little scared." Zhong Yuanwailang muttered.

"..." Gu Mo blinked helplessly.

"Where's your chief minister, Mrs. Yu?" Gu Mo recalled that Mrs. Yu was in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and all the ministries, big and small, and people up and down were under his control.

"Master Yu...Master Yu is probably resting at his own house today. He was a little unwell yesterday and fell ill." Zhong Yuanwailang recalled patiently.

"Oh? Are you sick? Such a coincidence? Why do you have so many such coincidences in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Gu Mo said as he walked in front of Zhong Yuanwailang, lowered his head slightly, stared at him, and looked at him. He stared out in a cold sweat.

"Your Highness, what, what's the matter? Did something happen?" Zhong Yuanwailang stammered, not daring to look directly into Gu Mo's eyes.

Looking at this person's reaction, it doesn't seem like he's pretending, but he really doesn't know.Gu Mo lowered his eyes, stepped back, and let Zhong Yuanwailang go.

Then, he ordered Danqing to bring the money bag.

"It's full of gold, which is very valuable. You accept it and tell me where Zi Yu's mansion is." Gu Mo said softly.

Zhong Yuanwailang looked at the money bag in his hand with disbelief all over his face.

"Why? Don't you want to?" Gu Mo's eyes showed a gloomy look again.

"But, this..." Zhong Yuanwailang was in trouble, he didn't know what happened.

"Say it quickly!" Gu Mo didn't want to dawdle, and was very impatient.

"Okay, okay, let me say, let me say." Zhong Yuanwailang was so frightened that he had no choice but to tell Gu Mo the location.

After Gu Mo found out, he rushed out of the palace again.

A crisp sound sounded in front of the gate of the Yonghe Palace.

"Ah—" The women under the steps moved around one after another when they saw the ceramic slag flying around.

"My princess knows that you said in your heart that this princess is not polite, but today, this princess wants to see who is being unreasonable!"

No matter how many people have seen these scenes, they all think that Princess Pingyang is crazy.

"What's the point of a bunch of gossiping women here chattering?" Ping Yang scolded, "If you want to scold the fifth prince, please bring evidence. The emperor hasn't made a decision yet, so why do you think it's a certainty? Already? Hearing that the wind is the rain, this princess curses that you will not be able to have children!"

The last sentence is undoubtedly the most hated curse on the concubines in the palace.

Immediately, everyone started talking, and they all looked at Princess Pingyang with a look of disbelief and disdain.

Ping Yang also noticed it, and she raised her head even more, her toes high and high.

"Princess Pingyang! The matter of the fifth prince is true, even the empress has said it. If the princess thinks what the concubine said is wrong, you can ask the empress. Does the princess not even believe what the empress said? Is it?" Xian Concubine said loudly.

"That's right..." As long as one person speaks, the people behind will dare to follow suit.

"Besides, how dare we bully Concubine Li, the harem is boring, we just like to watch the excitement." A promise said with a somewhat complaining tone.

Ping Yang couldn't help but sneered.

"It's boring, it's your own problem. What you should do is how to please the emperor! How to quickly give birth to an heir for the emperor, instead of paying attention to the concubine Li who already has a prince's heir!"

Unexpectedly, what Ping Yang said was so straightforward, everyone blushed.

Concubine Hui was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but was blocked by Pingyang.

"What? You want to run on me again? This princess tells you that this princess has just made military exploits, and the emperor treats me like a princess." As he said that, Pingyang wanted to sit down on the steps, acting carelessly.

"So, the Princess of the present county is not afraid of anyone today, even if the Empress Empress comes to support you, I am not afraid either."

As soon as the voice fell, the hall was silent, everyone stopped talking, and no one dared to say anything about the Princess Pingyang.

"Really?" The Empress stood at the gate of the Yonghe Palace, walking towards Qin'er with a smile on her face.

As soon as Ping Yang finished speaking, the queen appeared, she felt a little embarrassed, but quickly adjusted, she was really not afraid of the queen in her heart.

The queen naturally walked to the seat of the master of Yonghe Palace and sat down, and let everyone come in to do it.

This made Concubine Li a little overwhelmed, so she just stood there in a daze.

Ping Yang couldn't see it, but he couldn't let the queen leave, so he had to drag her to the first seat and sit in the second seat himself.

The queen came here this time to tease Concubine Li, but she didn't expect Princess Pingyang to come.She knew that Pingyang was here to help her, so she couldn't talk about her in front of Pingyang, so she had to change her plan.

"I heard that you all came to Yonghe Palace to make trouble today?" The queen looked at Concubine Hui, Concubine Xian, and several others of lower rank.

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged. There's no trouble. I just said a few words to Concubine Li." Concubine Hui was the first to speak.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, the empress should ask the empress Li." The concubine immediately agreed, and tried to threaten Li Concubine with her eyes.

Concubine Li, who has always been submissive, now knows that she has Pingyang's backing, and she doesn't want to bear it any longer.

"Your Majesty, they came to Yonghe Palace to make trouble. There are rumors in the palace that the Fifth Prince framed His Majesty, but that is impossible. What's more, Your Majesty has not made a conclusion yet, and they have already treated me like a criminal concubine. Yes, Concubine Hui even beat me."

Concubine Li stretched out her hand, and slowly lifted the clothes on her forearm, revealing a long purple mark, which was evidence.

Pingyang felt distressed when he saw it, and immediately cursed: "Concubine Hui! How dare you do something to your high-ranking concubine! I must tell Your Majesty!"

Concubine Hui felt that the queen would help her, so she made no apologies.

"Punishment Concubine Hui knelt in front of the Yonghe Palace for two hours."
