Looking at the results of Qingdai's investigation, Shu Yuwan frowned.

"Old people of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian?"

Qingdai nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

"They are from the Wei family. They entered the palace with Empress Dowager Xiaoxian. After Empress Dowager Xiaoxian passed away, they followed Madam Zhou to guard Kunde Palace. Later, when you entered Kunde Palace, Madam Zhou left, but most people stayed here."

"Because they were old people who served Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, they were treated very well on weekdays. Several old maids inquired about the news in our palace."

Shu Yuwan had some impression of these old maids. When they just moved to Kunde Palace, several of them came to visit her. At that time, she comforted them and told them to stay in Kunde Palace with peace of mind, so that Qingdai could settle down.

Unexpectedly...

It turned out to be someone from the Wei family! After following Empress Dowager Xiaoxian for so many years, she still had her heart set on the Wei family and actually spread the news in the palace to the Wei family!

After hearing this, Shu Yuwan was silent for a moment and said, "Give this news to Ah Qing!"

After all, they are the people of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, so let's give it to the emperor. No matter how much the emperor cares about Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, he will not tolerate anyone reaching out to the palace.

Sure enough, the emperor was also very surprised when he received the news.

Empress Dowager Xiaoxian has always been in a very high position in his heart, and people related to Empress Dowager Xiaoxian have been treated with special favors, so that the palace has never suspected those who served Empress Dowager Xiaoxian during her lifetime and guarded Kunde Palace for her after her death!

The emperor's eyes darkened, these people!

I think the news has also been passed to the Duke of Wei's mansion...

I thought of the day when the Duke of Wei came to Chenggan Hall with the prime minister to emphasize that the harem should not interfere in politics!

My uncle really knows everything about the slightest movement in this palace.

In the past, the Wei family and he were of the same blood, but since Wanwan was canonized as the Crown Princess, the Wei family and he have gradually drifted apart.

"Catch these maids and send them to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Yes." Ah Qing replied. He really didn't expect that the secret agent who passed the news out would be an old friend of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.

The emperor added in a cold voice: "It is necessary to interrogate whether there are any accomplices and how much news has been passed out over the years!"

"I obey your order."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and Ah Qing hurriedly trotted away.

He didn't want to bear the emperor's anger here, so it would be better to let the emperor go to Kunde Palace by himself, and then the queen would coax him and he would be fine.

Thinking of this, Ah Qing's steps became faster.

At this time, in the Hanyu Palace, Yaoqin thought about it and still wanted to persuade her master. She bravely said: "Miss, since the Duke has said that he wants you to leave the palace and arrange a way out for you, why don't we leave the palace? You are now a princess and the legitimate daughter of the Wei family. In the future..."

"Shut up!"

Yaoqin was stopped by Wei Wushuang before she finished speaking.

"Yaoqin, you and I grew up together, don't you know me?"

"Look, I have already moved into the harem, right? If I hadn't gone to Huangjue Temple, how could I live in the palace now? After taking this step, I will slowly take the next step. Although I still have no status and am under house arrest, this is only temporary."

"But..."

"Yaoqin, no buts!" Wei Wushuang looked cold. She, Wei Wushuang, was born to be the most distinguished lady of the Shangjing clan, and in the future she will only be the most distinguished woman in Dajing.

Yaoqin didn't dare to say more when she saw this, but she was worried about herself and her young lady in her heart.

If the young lady is not good, what future can she have as the young lady's personal maid...

In the Ministry of Punishment.

The old maids are old and experienced, and verbal threats and intimidation have no effect on them.

Ah Qing gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and said: "In this case, you don't have to blame me for being cruel."

He then called for people to torture them.

Although these people followed Empress Dowager Xiaoxian into the palace, their children and grandchildren were all in the Duke of Wei's mansion. At this time, even if they were tortured and cried and screamed in pain, they gritted their teeth and knew nothing at first.

It was not until Ah Qing ordered people to secretly kidnap the grandson of one of the maids that they finally let go. When one person let go, the others were like a flood, resigned to their fate and revealed everything they knew...

When Ah Qing gave the confessions of several people to the emperor, the emperor's face was really not good.

Shu Yuwan got the news, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Wei Wushuang could finally get out of her sight. Since the marriage was granted, she would pop up from time to time to make trouble. She was really annoyed with this person.

Moreover, she was really worried about Wei Wushuang's crazy energy. One day, she would do something crazy.

After getting the testimony of several maids, the emperor sent people to thoroughly investigate the Duke of Wei's mansion.

In a few days, Duke of Wei was thoroughly investigated.

The emperor looked at the report sent by the secret guards, his eyes were full of complexity, and he ordered: "Please invite Duke of Wei to the palace for an audience, and then go to Hanyu Palace to bring Princess Pingkang."

Wei Wushuang was immediately happy when she received the news of the emperor's summons, and said to Yaoqin: "Yaoqin, dress up."

The eunuch stopped him and said: "Princess Pingkang, please forgive me, the emperor ordered you to go immediately."

Wei Wushuang was stunned for a while, then put on a smile and said: "Okay."

Although the Wei family had left several well-informed people in Kunde Palace thanks to Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, the palace rules were strict. Without important news, these people would not contact the Wei family. Therefore, the Wei family did not react in the past few days, and these people were discovered by the emperor at this time.

Duke Wei also came to the palace in a relaxed manner.

Wei Wushuang arrived first. After greeting, the emperor asked her to wait aside with a cold look and ignored her. Wei Wushuang had a bad feeling. It was not until Duke Wei arrived that the emperor threw the report presented by the secret guards and the testimony of several maids in front of the father and daughter.

Duke Wei saw this scene and glanced at Wei Wushuang. Seeing that his daughter was also puzzled, he did not touch the things on the ground, but asked with some condemnation: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

The emperor has always respected Duke Wei, his uncle. This is the first time that his attitude is so bad, which makes Duke Wei even more dissatisfied.

The emperor looked at Duke Wei steadily and said, "Uncle, why don't you pick it up and see what's written on it?"

Duke Wei then picked up the report on the ground and opened it. Wei Wushuang was standing beside him and glanced over.

The father and daughter's faces changed drastically at the same time!

Shu Yuwan heard the emperor summon Duke Wei and Wei Wushuang and said with a smile, "Let's go and take a look."

Maybe she'll go and join in the fun.
