When Bai Muci woke up again, he was already lying in the side hall of the queen's Fengluan Palace.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the night had already quietly come, and candles were lit in all corners of the house, reflecting the whole room as bright as day.

Looking at the appearance in front of him that was not in the East Palace, Bai Muci was stunned at first, and then suddenly came back to his senses and struggled to get up from the bed, but as soon as he moved, he pulled the wound on his forehead, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This is Fengluan Palace, not East Palace, you don't have to get up if you lie down like this. Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the room.

Hearing this, Bai Muci leaned his head on the pillow, turned his head to look at the voice, and saw that the queen was sitting alone in the center of the room with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Auntie, how did I get back to your dormitory?"

"Of course, the palace ordered someone to carry you back, otherwise how do you think you came back?" the queen said coldly.

After Bai Muci heard this, her face couldn't help but stiffen, and she didn't understand why her aunt's face was so bad, was it because she had a quarrel with her cousin after fainting in the East Palace?

Thinking of this, Bai Muci hurriedly tried to sit up from the bed, and looked at the queen who spoke cautiously:

"Auntie, is it because of my business, my cousin quarreled with you, and then made you unhappy?"

Hearing this, the queen got up with a gloomy face, her eyes shot at Bai Muci like a torch, and she walked up to Bai Muci and asked in a deep voice:

"This palace asks you, how did the palace maid who bewitched you die three years ago?"

Hearing the queen ask about the palace maid three years ago, Bai Muci's face couldn't help but change, her eyes widened and her lips couldn't help but tremble.

Why did my aunt suddenly ask about three years ago? How could she ask about the palace maid? Could it be that my aunt knew something?

But at that time, he and Bai Lin knew about it, and then no one knew, how could my aunt know?

Bai Muci's eyes kept rolling, and he kept thinking about answering in his mind, and was silent for a moment before he spoke:

"Auntie, Mu'er doesn't know what you mean? Didn't that palace maid commit suicide by jumping into a well for fear of being punished by you and the emperor three years ago because she bewitched me and was afraid of being punished by you and the emperor? Why did you suddenly ask about this now?"

"Is it true, as you said, she jumped into the well to find her death because she was afraid of being punished by the palace and the emperor?" asked the queen staring at Bai Muci's eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Muci's heart couldn't help but rise to suicidal anxiety, and nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, auntie, don't you still believe Mu'er?"

"Hehe, of course this palace believes you, otherwise how could you not say a word about the events of the year?" the queen smiled coldly.

"Then why did my aunt suddenly ask about this? Did someone say something to you?" Bai Muci said tentatively.

The queen pondered for a long time, stared at Bai Muci's eyes and slowly spoke:

"Mu'er, there are only two people here, Bengong and you, Bengong will ask you again, are you sure that palace maid committed suicide in fear of sin?"

Bai Muci was stared at by the queen's eyes, and her back was cold, and her face couldn't help but turn a little pale. Looking at the queen and hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip and insisted:

"Auntie, that palace maid really committed suicide in fear of crime......

"Don't you still want to tell the truth?!" the queen snapped.

Hearing this, Bai Muci suddenly trembled, and hurriedly endured the pain in his forehead and got up from the bed, kneeling on the ground and looking at the queen, his eyes were red:

"Auntie, aunt, Mu'er is telling the truth, how could Mu'er lie to you?!"

"Hmph, when Bengong asked you just now, I found that your eyes wandered from side to side, this is clearly lying! Bengong can sit firmly in the position of the master of the harem, and he has stood tall for decades, do you think Bengong is a fool?!" The queen's eyes were cold.

Seeing this, Bai Muci had a bad premonition in his heart, it seemed that his aunt must have known about what happened three years ago, otherwise he would not have suddenly questioned himself like this.

For a moment, a big drop of cold sweat slipped down Bai Muci's forehead, looking at the queen and not knowing how to speak.

Originally, the queen was only guessing in her heart, and she was only half-convinced of Xuanyuan Haoling's words, but now that she saw Bai Muci's attitude, her heart suddenly sank.

It seems that what Ling Er said is really true, Mu'er has nothing to do with the cause of the palace maid's death three years ago!

Looking at Bai Muci's weak and innocent face, as well as her trembling body kneeling on the ground, the queen's eyes showed a deep sense of disappointment.

This is the niece she has pampered for twenty years, and she has been regarded as her own since she was a child, which is no different from her attitude towards Ling'er.

Just because she is her brother's daughter-in-law, she has been unconditionally connived and pampered by herself since she was a child, for fear that she will be half wronged.

Originally, I saw that she was gentle and sensible, familiar with poetry and books, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was the first talented woman in Beichen, and won a lot of glory for herself and the Hou Mansion.

He Ling'er grew up as a childhood sweetheart, and he and his brother made plans, just waiting for Mu'er to marry Ling'er as a concubine.

On the one hand, it is to continue to pass on the glory of the Hou Mansion and make the status of the Hou Mansion more stable.

On the other hand, because of marrying Ling Er, they are a family in themselves, and after they get married, they are even more intimate and closer, so it is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

Even the emperor has acquiesced to his plans, so Ling Er and Mu Er have been a favored pair since they were young, but on the day of Mu Er and Lu, she actually made a foolish decision to drug Ling Er!

recalled that Bai Muci knelt in front of the bed in horror at that time, but on the bed lay Xuanyuan Haoling, who was drugged and unconscious, both of them were disheveled, and there were faint traces of blood on the bed.

That scene was so shocking in the eyes of himself and the emperor, as well as his brother and sister-in-law.

I couldn't believe that Bai Muci, who had always grown up in the palm of his hand and was knowledgeable, would actually do something to Ling Er.

The emperor was especially angry at that time, and wanted to punish Bai Muci, but he saw her kneeling on the ground crying and crying, saying that she was bewitched by the palace maid, thinking that she could marry Ling Er as his wife after that.

Although she was really angry at the beginning, she remembered that she was young and ignorant and deceived by others, and she was the niece who she watched grow up, so she didn't say anything, but blamed everything on the palace maid who bewitched her.

It's a pity that the emperor and himself sent people to search all over the palace, but they never saw the palace maid, originally thought it was a fact fabricated by Bai Muci, in order to prevent the niece's reputation from being ruined, he suppressed the matter.

But she never thought that night, she found the body of a palace maid in a well in the palace, and according to Bai Muci's identification, she knew that it was the palace maid who bewitched her.

According to Bai Muci's words, it should be that the palace maid knew that the palace was searching for her, and she committed suicide by jumping into the well knowing that she was guilty.
