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

Chapter 296 Suspicious Palace Maid

Everyone was already sitting in the main hall, just waiting for Gao Cheng to finish searching the palace. What would he find?

Xie Yu and Lin Junxue sat in the main seats, and Xie Yu's face was calm all the time? .

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely cold. No one dared to say a word for fear of angering Xie Yu.

Sun Manrou sat there with an impatient look on her face. Next to her, Chen Mi had no expression on his face and remained as indifferent as ever.

Zheng Jin stayed beside Qin Shushu, looking like a loving sister.

Lin Junxue personally served the tea on the table and said softly, "Your Majesty, have a sip of tea. Eunuch Gao is with the Imperial Guards, so I'm afraid it will take a while for him to finish the investigation."

Xie Yu took the teacup and took a sip of tea. His expression finally improved. "The Queen is thoughtful."

Lin Junxue smiled gently, and Xie Yu felt better when he saw the smile on her face.

Chen Mi watched this scene, lowered his head silently, and sipped his tea.

For so many years, the emperor has never had such affection in his eyes.

This was something she had never seen before. Now, no concubine in the harem could compete with the queen.

Unlike Chen Xier who seemed to be favored back then, the current emperor is the one who is truly sincere.

It’s really ridiculous to think about it. Is the emperor really in love with the queen?

Sun Manrou was jealous. The emperor looked at the queen with such tenderness.

The emperor had never looked at her so tenderly, even once?

Over the years, the emperor would only favor her when her father had military merits.

Thinking of this, Sun Manrou's eyes darkened. When will the emperor be able to see her true heart?

half an hour later

Gao Cheng walked in quickly, with the young talent behind him holding a box in his hand.

When Qin Shushu saw that Gao Cheng really found something, she immediately stood up excitedly.

"Your Majesty, look"

Xie Yu's face darkened again.

Gao Cheng leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I, along with the Imperial Guards, dug up a box under a tree in the southwest corner of Ning'an Palace. Inside it was Shu Jieyu's birth date and the month of her pregnancy. There was also a doll in the box, and it was covered in blood."

As soon as this word comes out

The atmosphere became more depressing

There was actually someone who dared to do such a heinous thing in the harem and use witchcraft to murder the baby in Qin Shushu's belly.

Xie Yu was filled with anger, his eyes were cold, and a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

He stared at the box coldly, his eyes revealing a terrifying rage and brutality.

Lin Junxue's eyes also fell on the box that was still covered in mud, and then she withdrew her gaze indifferently.

Her eyes were slightly raised, and deep within them there was complete indifference.

The person behind this is playing a big game today.

Even witchcraft was used. It seemed that the play was getting more and more exciting.

At this moment, Lin Junxue has realized who this game is targeting?

If it's targeting others, there's no need to use such a big arm.

I'm afraid that only the other party could set up such a big plan to deal with her, the queen.

Now, all she can do is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

The young talent stepped forward and Xie Yu ordered him to open the box. As the box was opened, the contents inside were revealed to everyone.

Just as Gao Cheng said, there was a note and a bloody doll inside.

Moreover, the doll does not have eyes sewn on it, which makes it look very scary and frightening.

Xie Yu just took a look, eyes full of disgust, and waved his hand.

The young genius quickly closed the box and then stepped aside.

Gao Cheng continued, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards also found a maidservant of Shu Jieyu in Ning'an Palace. They searched the house and found a whole bag of gold melon seeds and a jade hairpin worth a lot of money."

Having said that, Gao Cheng suddenly looked up and glanced at Lin Junxue.

Lin Junxue paused. Jade hairpin? She probably had guessed what the next method of framing her would be?

She has received countless jade hairpins as rewards in the past two years.

The person behind this is very meticulous, with one thing leading to another, and now it's time for the witness to appear.

Now, this situation is difficult to break

In just a blink of an eye, Lin Junxue had already guessed how today's events would develop.

Gao Cheng continued, "Now, I have detained the maid, and she is outside."

Qin Shushu heard Gao Cheng say that golden melon seeds and jade hairpins were found in the palace maid's room.

She cried loudly, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. I have never rewarded the palace maids with gold melon seeds or valuable jade hairpins. Someone must have bribed my maids with gold melon seeds and jade hairpins to frame me and my unborn child. Your Majesty, you must help me."

Qin Shushu became more and more excited as she spoke, and she almost lost her balance. Zheng Jin hurried forward, looking sympathetic.

"Your Majesty, Sister Shu was plotted against this time. She even lost her unborn child. Someone also used witchcraft to harm Sister Shu. They are really treacherous. Your Majesty must make the decision for Sister Shu."

Sun Manrou patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty, if it is really witchcraft, Your Majesty must not let the person who used witchcraft go."

Chen Mi also spoke up, "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter and it really needs to be thoroughly investigated."

Xie Yu's face was terribly gloomy. He didn't say anything, then turned to look at Lin Junxue and asked, "What does the Queen think about this matter?"

Lin Junxue already knew that this matter was directed at her.

The person behind the scenes has set up such a big plan, and I'm afraid the drama is not over yet.

Since the stage has been set up, she will naturally look to see what exciting play is going to be performed.

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Your Majesty, the thing has been found. The art of witchcraft has always been banned in every dynasty. What's more, now this thing has appeared in the harem and harmed the child in Shu Jieyu's belly. Naturally, we have to investigate it thoroughly. Since Eunuch Gao said that he found a suspicious palace maid, bring her here. Your Majesty and I will interrogate her in public."

Zheng Jin, who was supporting Qin Shushu, had a flash of joy in his eyes. The Queen was really asking for her own death.

Wait, only the palace maid can tell who is the mastermind behind this.

If the emperor still favors the queen, and it involves witchcraft, the emperor will definitely be angry with the queen.

Even if the emperor did not want to pursue the matter, once it was reported to the previous dynasty, the court officials would not easily let it go.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jin's face was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal, but he tried hard to hide it.

Little did they know that Lin Junxue had already thought about the matter, and without showing any emotion, she paid more attention to everyone's subtle expressions.

She thought that since someone had set up such a big chess game, the person who set it up must be present.

Lin Junxue saw the fleeting look in Zheng Jin's eyes just now.

She thought she had already guessed who was behind this?

However, if Zheng Jin was the only one involved, the game would be too big. If it wasn’t just her, then who else would be involved?

Lin Junxue's eyes deepened, and then she slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Since they want to play, I'll just play this round with them.
