Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 252 Qian Si Crys Out for Justice

After listening to Xiao Cheng's report, Lin Junxue's eyes darkened.

Is it so easy to find the person behind this matter?

What if it was really Concubine Si who asked Xiao Cui to do this?

So, after Xiao Cheng received her order, he immediately interrogated all the palace servants in Ning'an Palace.

At that time, Xiao Cui did not show any suspicion. But today, when Xiao Cheng retried the case for the second time, Xiao Cui suddenly showed her true colors.

Everything seemed to be arranged.

Today, Xiao Cui was exposed, and everything was too natural.

Xiao Cheng has been in the palace for many years. He knows that this matter is not simple. If nothing unexpected happens, it is probably a frame-up.

But this happened too many times in the palace, and he was no longer surprised.

Since someone has pushed this noble lady Si out, now it depends on the attitude of the Queen Mother. Does she really want to pursue the matter further?

It is better to find out about this matter as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Emperor.

for a while

Lin Junxue asked, "Besides explaining that she was instructed by Si Guiren to give the drug, did Xiao Cui reveal anything else?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head

"Empress, there is nothing else. Xiao Cui said that half a month ago, Concubine Si and Concubine Mo had a quarrel over a trivial matter. After Concubine Si went back, she became angrier and angrier. So she decided to poison Concubine Mo and destroy her appearance so that she would never be favored by the emperor again. This was to take revenge on Concubine Mo."

If he poisoned someone because of such a small matter, it would be even more unreasonable.

Qian Si is not stupid. If this is true, isn’t she afraid of what will happen to her after being discovered?

Xiao Cheng stood up and bowed slightly.

"Empress, Gao Cheng came to ask about this yesterday. The Emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate this matter as soon as possible. If it is delayed any further, the Emperor may doubt your ability to manage the harem. Since Xiao Cui is a witness, your Majesty, why don't you investigate this case?"

In this harem, the truth is never important. What is important is the emperor's attitude.

Lin Junxue looked at Xiao Cheng, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and then put it down.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Of course she knew what Xiao Cheng meant, but she knew clearly that the matter was complicated. The murderer was not Qian Si, she was just a scapegoat.

If she just chooses to do the job perfunctorily and get the job done, it would of course be the best thing for her.

But this is a human life after all, innocent

Although she entered the harem and was not a good person, she had her own bottom line.

Human life should not be taken so lightly.

If those who harmed her or were extremely evil people died, it would not matter, but Qian Si is neither of those people at the moment.

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Eunuch Xiao, I understand what you mean, but I can't push her out even though I know it's not Noble Lady Si, just to put an end to this matter. In this palace, human life is cheap, but no matter how cheap it is, it is still the life of an innocent person. Since I know that Noble Lady Si was probably framed, I can't go against my conscience and not investigate the matter thoroughly, thus wrongly accusing Noble Lady Si."

Xiao Cheng was stunned, his old eyes narrowed

He thought that the Queen would choose to push Concubine Si out in order to report to the Emperor as quickly as possible.

But the Queen Mother chose to investigate the matter in order not to wrongly accuse anyone.

This move really took him by surprise.

The Queen is resourceful, courageous, and scheming, but she can still stick to her own bottom line.

With a master like this, Xiao Xia Zi will not be easily abandoned in the future when she follows the Queen.

With a master like this, perhaps he did not make a wrong choice for Xiao Xia Zi.

Xiao Cheng leaned over

"I am listening to the Queen's orders. How should we investigate this matter further? Just let her tell you."

Lin Junxue turned to look at Qiao Xin

"Go and ask the Emperor to come over and tell him that Noble Lady Mo was poisoned. Then, go and ask Concubine Mi, Concubine Chen, and Noble Lady Mo to come over as well."

Qiao Xin agreed, "My lady, I will do it right away."

Lin Junxue looked at Xiao Cheng

"Eunuch Xiao, have someone bring Xiao Cui here, and bring Lady Si to Zhonghe Palace. Since Xiao Cui keeps saying that she was instructed, let her face off in front of the Emperor and the Empress. We can't just rely on her one-sided words."

Xiao Chengdao: "Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

half an hour later

Zhonghe Palace

main hall

Xie Yu and Lin Junxue sat at the top, with Chen Mi and Sun Manrou on the left and right.

Zhang Yuyan happened to come over, and Gu Mo, wearing a veil, sat at the bottom.

After a few days of treatment, her face looked better and the smell wasn't as rotten and unpleasant, but it could still be faintly smelled.

Just now, when Xie Yu came in and passed by her, the look of disdain in his eyes shocked Gu Mo greatly.

The emperor is completely disgusted with her

Even if her face gets better in the future, the emperor will no longer favor her.

She looked at Qian Si who had just walked in and was kneeling on the ground. She wanted to go up to her and question her why she was hurting her like this.

Qian Si knelt on the ground, his face horrified, crying and protesting his injustice.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I know nothing. Xiao Cui served me, but I really did not instruct her to poison. I have lived with Lady Mo in Ning'an Palace since I entered the palace. Although we are not very close, we can still talk to each other on weekdays and have a good relationship. I really have no reason to harm Lady Mo. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I am innocent."

After Qian Si finished crying, she immediately turned to look at Gu Mo, who was sitting there with his face covered with a veil.

"Sister Mo, I really didn't ask anyone to poison you. I don't know what happened. Why did Xiao Cui frame me? Please believe me, I didn't harm you, I really didn't."

Gu Mo stood up and looked at Qian Si who kept saying that he was wronged.

Just now, she found out that it was Xiao Cui, who was beside Qian Si, who confessed that she was the one who poisoned him, and she was very angry for a moment.

But now that she is calm, and thinking carefully, it is true that although Qian Si and she are both in the position of nobles, neither of them can be considered favored.

She really couldn't think of any reason why Qian Si would want to harm her.

Xie Yu looked at the two of them coldly and had not spoken a word since he sat down.

As an emperor, he was not interested in the jealousy among the women in the harem, so he let the two confront each other.

He just wants results!

Gu Mo cried and said, "You and I live in the same palace, and we are good friends. You said you didn't let anyone harm me, but Xiao Cui beside you has confessed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice that you were the one who poisoned my food. You said you were innocent, but when Xiao Cui comes, you two, master and servant, will confront each other in front of the Emperor and the Empress."

Qian Si wipes tears

"Yes, sister, I also want to ask Xiao Cui in person, how did I wrong her that she wronged me like this? Who instructed her?"

Sun Manrou first glanced at Xie Yu, then spoke in a hypocritical manner.

"It's so pitiful that Lady Mo's face was poisoned. I feel so sad just looking at it. Lady Si, you really have a cruel heart."
