Chapter 698: Midnight 3rd Update, Meeting with Someone in Secret
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Wenxuan immediately became excited and grabbed Susu's wrist, "Susu, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. One of them is still in the inner court. He is a leader. In his hand, he has a token from the Imperial Concubine."
"I want to see this token."
"Okay." Susu nodded immediately.
"Also, this matter must be kept secret. The Grand Empress Dowager has been very dissatisfied with me recently. If she knew that the people arranged by my mother were still hiding in the harem, she would definitely eliminate them all!"
"I understand." Su Su nodded immediately.
Three days later.
At night, a figure came to Cuiwei Palace and sneaked into the house.
Susu, wearing a moon-white circlet and with her hair loose, sat on a chair. She had been waiting for a while.
"Did everyone in Chang Ru see you when you came?"
"Yes, and he is watching me."
"Well, you can leave after one stick of incense."
"Yes."
……
Chang Ru was just about to rest when she heard hurried footsteps outside.
The nanny walked quickly into the inner room, "Madam, just now a palace guard sneaked into Cuiwei Palace and stayed in the room for an incense stick of time. I saw with my own eyes that Susu sent the guard out in disheveled clothes. There must be an affair between the two!"
"The emperor was so good to Susu, but unexpectedly, Susu also betrayed him." Chang Ru felt a little relieved.
She wants to let the emperor experience the feeling of being betrayed!
"Go and investigate the identity of this guard right away. The next time they meet secretly, we must catch them both in adultery!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Wenxuan came to Susu as soon as he got off work.
Susu immediately took the token to Xiao Wenxuan.
"Your Majesty, this is the token sent by Guard Ji. Can this token alone prove that he is the Imperial Concubine's man?" Susu still held a skeptical attitude.
Xiao Wenxuan picked up the token and felt a little excited. This was his mother's thing. He had seen it since he was a child, and it was also his mother's favorite jade pendant.
"This is my mother's jade pendant. He is indeed trustworthy." Xiao Wenxuan made a judgment immediately.
"Your Majesty, Guard Ji also said that he has a list for Your Majesty. The people on this list are all those left by the Imperial Concubine. With this list, Your Majesty will have an idea of who to hire in the future."
"Okay!" Xiao Wenxuan felt happy.
Everything is developing in the right direction, how can we not be happy!
Su Su looked at the jade pendant and a smile flashed across her eyes.
Chang Ru has already found out the identity of Guard Ji.
Just waiting for him and Susu to meet again and catch them both in the act.
At night, guard Ji sneaked into Susu's Cuiwei Palace again.
As soon as the people arrived, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the fire lit up the entire Cuiwei Palace.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by and ran to the backyard, apparently preparing to escape over the wall.
"Catch him!" Chang Ru gave the order.
Just as Guard Ji was about to climb up the wall, his ankle tightened and he was grabbed by someone.
He couldn't control his body and fell to the ground. Someone immediately rushed over and held him down.
He struggled hard for several times but failed to break free from the control of these people. He could only be taken to Chang Ru in a miserable state.
Chang Ru glanced at Guard Ji and strode into the house.
Susu stood in the room with a look of panic on her face, dressed neatly, unlike last time when she was disheveled.
However, the people have already been caught, so it is useless to dress neatly.
Chang Ru sat directly on the main seat and said, "Bring the person up."
Guard Ji was brought up.
"Susu, this man just came out of your room. What is your relationship with him?"
"Madam Chang, I don't know him. He came to my palace in the middle of the night. Could it be that I have been favored by the Emperor recently and he has given me many good things, which attracted the thief's covetousness and he came to steal?"
"Theft? You are really good at making excuses. Why didn't I notice that you are so eloquent before? It's the dead of night, a man and a woman alone in the same room. Aren't you two doing something unspeakable? Do you want me to send you to the Supreme Court for a thorough investigation?" Chang Ru's tone suddenly became sharp.
Su Su was so frightened that her face turned pale, "No, you can't send it to the Supreme Court!"
"You are just a slave, you don't even have a position, you said you can't send it to the Supreme Court, can't you send it to the Supreme Court?"
"No, Madam Chang, I beg you, please don't send him to the Supreme Court. As long as you don't send him to the Supreme Court, you can do whatever you want with him." Susu suddenly knelt down.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with him? Why did he appear in your palace late at night? This matter does not need to be reported to the Supreme Court. As long as you confess the truth, your relationship with him will be a scandal that no one knows about. After all, if it gets out of hand, the emperor's reputation will also be damaged."
Chang Ru wanted Su Su to confess the truth so that she could take the evidence to the emperor.
Let the emperor see what kind of person Su Su is.
She still held on to a glimmer of hope that if Xiao Wenxuan could see Su Su's true face, the relationship between them would be eased.
She believed that the situation between her and Xiao Wenxuan had come to this point today was caused by Susu.
"I'll ask again, what is your relationship with him?" Chang Ru asked loudly.
Susu looked resistant and was unwilling to speak.
"Pah!" The nanny slapped her in the face. "You despicable thing, you've been caught in the act, but you still refuse to admit it. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know your place!"
"Someone come here." The nanny called out.
Immediately two women came forward, tearing Susu's hair and twisting her body hard.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood. Could you please ask the Emperor to come over? I have something to say to the Emperor." Susu cried.
"You still want to see the emperor? If the emperor knew what you did, he would order your immediate execution!" The nanny twisted Susu's cheeks fiercely and tore them hard.
The two women turned around, picked up the candles on the table, and poured the scalding wax on Susu's body.
Although this method is not so lethal, it is most effective against women with delicate skin and tender flesh.
Soon, big blisters appeared on Susu's shoulders and face.
"Let her go!" Guard Ji couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke out to stop them.
"Since Susu refuses to admit it, let's send him to the Supreme Court!" Chang Ru gave an order.
"No! I confess, I confess! My relationship with him is what the Queen said!" Su Su shouted hurriedly.
Chang Ru glanced at Su Su with disgust and said, "Write down your confession and sign it, so that you won't be accused of forcing me to confess."
"Yes, yes." Susu nodded quickly in agreement.
