The emperor knew very well that if Meng Qianxun was injured in the palace at this moment, Ye Wujue would probably turn the entire palace into ruins.

"Take it down," the emperor's slightly narrowed eyes became colder, his anger loomed, and his voice became more cruel and ruthless. He didn't even look at Concubine Hui again.

"Yes." Several guards responded respectfully, and then led Concubine Hui out.

This time, Concubine Hui did not plead to the emperor again, nor did she make any noise, and allowed the guards to escort her.

However, his face turned pale, and the desperate fear in his eyes became more obvious.

She knew that the emperor no longer believed her at all, so it was useless for her to say anything now.

Suddenly she thought of Huangpu Tuo. The only person she could rely on now was her son. She hoped that her Tuoer could find a way to save her.

As long as she finds the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl, she might have a glimmer of hope.

When the emperor left, he glanced at Meng Qianxun slightly, which meant a lot.

Meng Qianxun looked at the emperor's leaving figure, the corners of his lips twitching slightly, which was thought-provoking.

It came and went as quickly as it came, and in an instant, Gong Shuyuan became quiet again.

The palace maids who took a peek were all dumbfounded. No one could believe that the concubine Hui, who had always been aloof and amiable, was suddenly ordered by the emperor to be locked up in a secret room and was also interrogated?

They saw Meng Qianxun slowly walking to the door and closing it gently. Her expression was calm and natural, as if nothing had happened to her just now.

To those palace ladies who took a peek, it seemed like it was just a dream. However, it was a sincere and cruel dream.

In this palace, all decisions and advice are in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor wants you to be honored, you will be honored. If the emperor wants you to live, you will live. If the emperor wants you to die, you will have no choice but to die.

The maid who delivered the clothes was hiding behind the door, trembling all over.

If Concubine Hui was investigated, all the maids and eunuchs in Huilan Palace would suffer. She was really glad now that Concubine Hui didn't take a fancy to her just now, and she was also glad that she escaped quickly.

The guards are still searching the palace, searching for assassins? Searching for thieves? Searching for Jade Blood Spirit Orbs?

In the palace, there was still a lot of noise and panic everywhere. Even the Queen Mother was awakened. When she learned that the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl was stolen, she broke into a cold sweat.

However, I heard that Concubine Hui was a thief, and her eyes flashed slightly. Concubine Hui stole the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl?

She didn't believe it, but she had no intention of interceding for Concubine Hui. The last incident had already made her resentful of Concubine Hui. It was good that she didn't add insult to injury at this time. It was impossible to intercede for her.

Everyone in the palace was frightened, afraid, anxious, or panicked. They could not rest at peace.

But Meng Qianxun was the only one. After the emperor left, he went to bed and slept extremely peacefully.

What's strange is that such a big thing happened in the palace, but Ye Wujue didn't show up.

The emperor called for the guards who were ordered to protect Ye Wujue, but the guards said that the third prince had already left the palace in the afternoon.

Ye Wujue had already left in the afternoon. So it seems that it had nothing to do with this matter?

However, Ye Wujue came out of the palace without even saying hello? The emperor's brows furrowed tightly.

The night passed slowly, not slowing down at all because of the chaos in the palace. Meng Qianxun was sleeping soundly, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

The noisy sounds and the panic atmosphere did not affect her at all.

The next day, it was dawn. The guards searched all night, but still found nothing. They did not find the thief, let alone the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.

In the morning, the emperor looked a little tired and just said, "If you have something to do, hurry up and leave the court if there is nothing."

This sentence silenced the ministers who originally wanted to speak. The emperor was obviously in a bad mood.

At this time, the matter reported above cannot be solved at all, and I am afraid that it will cause the emperor's displeasure.

Some ministers have already learned about what happened last night, and they dare not say anything more.

There was a complete silence in the entire hall, no one made a sound, only the faint sound of breathing that was trying to be suppressed could be heard.

If you can stop breathing at this time, it is guaranteed that the sound of breathing will disappear.

"Since everything is fine, let's retreat from the court." The emperor's eyes quickly swept over the ministers in the hall, and his cold voice made the temperature of the entire hall drop a few points.

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor quickly stood up and left.

The ministers naturally all left the palace one after another.

Huangpu Tuo followed the emperor with a few quick steps.

"Father, I heard that you locked your mother and concubine in a secret room and asked Mr. Li to interrogate you?" Huang Pu Tuo's usually cold face became a little more anxious.

After all, she is his biological mother.

The emperor stopped and looked at him with a solemn expression. This son had always been his favorite. Over the years, the reason why he was so special to Concubine Hui was actually largely due to Huangpu Tuo.

Because, it is obvious to the emperor that among these princes, Huangpu Tuo has the strongest ability, and Huangpu Tuo may seem cold, but he is the softest at heart.

Therefore, he always wanted to pass the throne to Huangpu Taku.

He knew that the treatment of Concubine Hui would have a great impact on Huangpu Tuo, but he could not give in on this matter.

"You should know the importance of the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl to the Huangpu Dynasty?" The emperor's words blocked all Huangpu Tuo's reasons for pleading.

"I know, so I don't want to plead for my mother and concubine. I just hope that my father can let me see my mother and concubine to find out the truth of the matter. I promise that I will be able to retrieve the Jade Blood Pearl."

Huang Putuo is confident, no matter what time or what kind of difficulties he faces, he is always confident.

He also knew that since the mother-in-law was in the hall at that time, she must have some inside information. As long as she figured out what was going on, she would be able to recover the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.

"Okay, go ahead." The emperor was stunned and nodded in agreement. He also believed in Huangpu Tuo's ability.

"Thank you, father." Huangpu Tuo's voice was low, but he could also hear some gratitude.

When Huangpu Tuo came to the secret room, Master Li was still there. After all, she was a noble concubine, and Master Li did not dare to act too sharply.

Concubine Hui, who was sitting opposite, was stunned. No matter what Mr. Li asked, she acted as if she didn't hear it at all. She didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Mr. Li couldn't avoid it too tightly, and he was a little helpless.

"I am here to see the fifth prince." Mr. Li was slightly startled when he saw Huangpu Tuo coming in. He stood up and saluted repeatedly, thinking in his mind the reason why the fifth prince came here and the emperor's attitude.

"I am here to see my mother and concubine as ordered by my father. Mr. Li will retreat first." Huangpu Tuo is a smart man. With one sentence, he has solved all the doubts in Mr. Li's heart.

"Yes." Mr. Li responded respectfully and backed out. When he went out, he carefully closed the door of the secret room.

In the secret room, Huangpu Tuo looked at Concubine Hui who looked dumbfounded, with a hint of pain and conflict on her face.

I don’t know, who is he feeling pain for?

She is his mother, and no one can change this, and he cannot choose it, so no matter what she does, he cannot ignore her.

"Concubine, I am my son." Huangpu Tuo's voice was very low. He knew that Concubine Hui could hear his words, and at this moment, he and she were the only ones in the entire secret room, so she no longer had to cover up.

Sure enough, when Concubine Hui raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were no longer dull as before, but a little more sad.

"Tuo'er, your father doesn't believe in your mother." Concubine Hui cried, with a look of pain on her face. This time, her pain was not entirely fake, but her pity was still fake.

"Concubine, I want to know what is going on? I hope that the concubine can tell me the truth, otherwise I can't help the concubine. The concubine should know the importance of the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl to the Huangpu Dynasty, and also

You should also understand the consequences of not being able to recover the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl." Huangpu Tuo's eyes darkened and he said straight to the point.

"Tuo'er, it's Meng Qianxun. It was she who took the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl. You have to believe my mother-in-law that the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl is definitely on her body. As long as you keep an eye on her, you will definitely be able to find the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.

"Huifei said repeatedly, secretly guessing in her heart how she could make Huangpu Tuo believe in her.

"Concubine, I hope that you can tell the truth. The truth without any concealment." Huangpu Tuo frowned slightly, and his expression was obviously a little colder.

He didn't want to hear anyone say something bad about her, even if that person was his mother.

What's more, he also knew that his mother-in-law had always been hiding something.

He already knew what happened last night, and the reason why he came was just to hear the truth.

Concubine Hui paused as she spoke, her eyes looking straight at Huangpu Tuo, her mind spinning rapidly.

She hid it from the emperor because she knew that she would never be the only one in the emperor's heart, but the man in front of her was her son.

In her son's heart, she is absolutely the only one, and she believes that Huangpu Tuo will help her.

However, she also knew that Meng Qianxun was also very important in Huangpu Tuo's heart.

However, she knew better that since Huangpu Tuo came here today, he wanted to retrieve the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl.

After thinking over and over again, Concubine Hui finally told Huangpu Tuo everything about how Meng Qianxun had set up yesterday to trick her into going to the main hall to get the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl, and then knocked her unconscious from behind.

This time, Concubine Hui told the truth and did not lie.

"Tuo'er, that woman is really cunning. My mother-in-law was fooled by her and was used by her." Concubine Hui continued to pretend to be pitiful in front of Huangpu Tuo. Huangpu Tuo's eyes darkened slightly, with a cold look in his eyes.

More importantly, she said that Meng Qianxun took advantage of her, but if she hadn't been greedy, how could she have fallen into someone else's scheme.

Moreover, he really didn't want to hear her talk about Meng Qianxun in this tone. If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was his mother-in-law, he wouldn't want to stay for a moment longer.

"Tuo'er, you must save the concubine. Now, you are the only one who can save the concubine." Concubine Hui, who was trying her best to pretend to be pitiful, was shocked when she noticed Huangpu Tuo's coldness. She was slightly frightened and said repeatedly.

He paused for a moment, then added again, "Only if you retrieve the Jade Blood Spirit Pearl, can the concubine have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, your father will never forgive the concubine, and I'm afraid that the concubine will also follow the example of the empress."

She will also be thrown into the cold palace, or she may be even worse than the queen."

Huangpu Tuo's body was slightly sluggish. He knew everything Hui Fei said, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

But now he wants to save his mother and concubine, so he has to investigate Meng Qianxun.

This was too cruel for him and he had no choice.
