Eighth Ye's Savage Concubine

Chapter 329 Collusion
Eunuch Wu nodded slightly, and the guard immediately stepped back.

"Your Majesty, everyone has been brought here."

"Let them in."

As the emperor's voice fell, Eunuch Wu waved to the people waiting outside the hall.

Seeing Eunuch Wu waving at them, the two guards immediately lowered their heads and quickly stepped into the threshold of Fengyi Hall.

"The servant sees the emperor and empress."

The two came to the center of Fengyi Hall and knelt down in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked down at them: "Are you the palace gate guards on duty on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it's the slave."

"Get up and talk."

After saying a word, the emperor turned around and walked up to sit down.

Seeing him sitting down, the queen quickly stepped forward and sat down beside him, while others also sat on both sides.

In the center of Fengyi Hall, there were only two guards standing there.

The guard had never seen such a large formation before, and trembled slightly in fright.

"I would like to ask you two, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, did you see the virtuous king entering and leaving the palace?"

"Yes!" The guard answered decisively, he thought for a moment, and then added: "His Royal Highness the Xianwang came to the palace with all the ministers, and did not leave until five o'clock in the evening."

"Did King Xian leave at five o'clock?"

The emperor's inquiry slowly spread to the ears of the two guards.

The two guards nodded heavily, not daring to hide anything.

Hearing their answers, the queen's face darkened, and she turned to look at the emperor: "Your majesty, I remember that the palace banquet has not ended at the second quarter of the fifth hour, are these two people lying?"

As she spoke, the queen turned her head and glanced at the two guards standing below.

The two guards met her eyes and trembled with fear.

They were just about to explain, but before they could speak, they heard the emperor's voice coming slowly.

"It's been so long, the empress must have lost her memory. I remember that King Xian and An Yi left early after being drunk, didn't it happen to be that time."

After being told by the emperor, the expression on the queen's face froze.

She knew that the emperor didn't say it clearly, he was saving her dignity, but the emperor's heart was like a mirror.

Embarrassed with a hint of a smile, the queen could only nod cooperatively: "The emperor is right, the concubine really has a bad memory."

Seeing that the Queen admitted that she had made a mistake, the two guards standing below breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, An Yi, who was sitting by the side, frowned tightly, her eyes filled with surprise.

That night, she clearly sent Bai Jinchu back to the side hall, and then spent the night with him.

According to the situation that night, when Bai Jinchu left the side hall, the palace gate had already been locked, so it was impossible for him to get out.

But why did the two guards say that he left at Wushi?
Before she could figure out what was going on, the emperor's voice sounded again in the Fengyi Hall: "When King Xian left, was there anyone else beside him?"

"Yes!" The guard answered decisively again: "Concubine Xian just entered the palace at that time. Because she left with His Highness Xian not long after entering the palace gate, so this servant remembers this very clearly."

After saying that, the emperor turned his head to look at Yuan Hua and Bai Jinchu. Seeing that their faces were calm, the emperor already had a plan in his heart.

What the two guards said just now was the same as what Bai Jinchu said before.

If it is not passed in advance, it can only show that this matter has indeed happened.
