365 Revealing the Facts
She and the emperor believed it at that time, and after the palace maid who bewitched her was crushed and scattered, all the palace people who knew about the matter between her and Ling Er were dealt with, leaving only a few cronies.
Now it seems that there must be another truth to the death of that palace maid, and there is a reason why Ling Er hates her.
The queen stared at Bai Muci in front of her, deeply distressed, and couldn't believe that her spoiled niece was so ruthless, which was completely different from what she saw on weekdays.
Bai Muci knelt on the ground tremblingly, and didn't see the queen speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but muster up the courage to raise his head, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the disappointment in the queen's eyes.
My aunt's eyes looked so strange, completely different from the way she looked at herself on weekdays, with a faint hint of disappointment and strangeness.
Seeing this, Bai Muci's heart suddenly cooled to the bottom, is my aunt disappointed in herself?
No! How can this be! Since I was a child, I was favored and protected by my aunt that I was able to have a noble identity and status, and my treatment was even no different from that of a princess.
Now if my aunt is disappointed in herself and no longer cares about herself, what should I do? What about myself and my cousin?
Thinking of this, Bai Muci's eyes were filled with fear, and he couldn't help kneeling and taking two steps forward, hugging the queen's knees and crying:
"Auntie, Mu'er has been watched by you since she was a child, you don't know what kind of person I am, why did you suddenly ask Mu'er about three years ago, Mu'er was really bewitched at that time!"
The queen looked at Bai Muci, who was holding her leg and crying incessantly, with a disappointment in her eyes that could not be hidden, sighed and then slowly spoke:
"Mu'er, this palace is really disappointed in you! Until this moment, only our aunt and nephew are left in this room, and you are still unwilling to tell the truth to this palace, how can you make this palace believe you?"
Hearing this, the blood on Bai Muci's face faded to a white desire, lowered his head and bit his lip, and began to think about countermeasures.
Now my aunt has been disappointed in herself, and it seems that she knows nine times out of ten about what happened three years ago.
If I hide it from my aunt again, I am afraid that I will lose this umbrella in the future, and it will be even more foolish to marry my cousin.
No matter what, she is my aunt's niece, according to my aunt's love for herself, as long as she tells her the truth, she will only scold herself or beat herself at most, and after two days, the weather will disappear and she will be back to the same as before.
Thinking of this, Bai Muci bit her lip, then raised her head to look at the queen, her eyes were red and she kowtowed, and then said pitifully:
"Auntie, Mu'er knows that she is wrong, Mu'er doesn't dare to deceive her aunt, the death of the palace maid three years ago is indeed related to Mu'er. But everything was because Mu'er was young and ignorant at the time, so she did something wrong. ”
In the past three years, Mu'er has been condemned by her conscience day and night, and Mu'er will recite scriptures every day to pray for peace of mind, begging her aunt to forgive Mu'er, and Mu'er already knows that she is wrong. ”
The queen listened to Bai Muci with a calm face, and she couldn't see half of her emotions in her eyes.
Bai Muci looked up at the queen, but found that the queen standing by the candlelight couldn't see her expression, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of anxiety in her heart, and she didn't know what to guess about the queen's thoughts.
The queen stood in silence for about half an hour, and Bai Muci knelt on the ground until her body was a little shaky, and then she raised her hand and slapped Bai Muci.
The crisp sound of "pop" knocked Bai Muci directly to the ground, and a bright red palm print appeared on Bai Muci's fair face in an instant.
Feeling a burst of fishy sweetness in his mouth and a pain in his forehead, Bai Muci couldn't help frowning, swallowed the fishy sweetness, and then continued to get up and kneel in front of the queen.
The queen looked at Bai Muci's appearance, first angry, and then sighed in disappointment:
"Bengong has watched you grow up since I was a child, and I always thought that you were knowledgeable, gentle and kind, innocent and lovely, but I never thought that under the kind face on your surface, there would be a ruthless heart. ”
Hearing this, Bai Muci was stunned at first, and then shook his head violently:
"Auntie, it's not like this, it's not like this, Mu'er was really young and ignorant back then, and now Mu'er already knows that it's wrong, and she really knows it's wrong. ”
The queen moved away from Bai Muci's face, walked to the side and diverted the topic:
"Let's talk about the real cause of the palace maid's death. ”
After hearing this, Bai Muci's face suddenly froze, lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and then whispered:
"At that time, after the matter between me and my cousin was discovered by you, I was very scared, in order to make my cousin not hate me, so I asked Bai Lin to find a palace maid, and at night when no one was paying attention, tricked her to the well, and then while she was not paying attention, he and Bai Lin pushed her into the well......"
In the end, Bai Muci's voice was faintly trembling.
The queen stared at Bai Muci with a cold face, as if she was meeting this niece for the first time, with a hint of unfamiliarity in her eyes:
"Mu'er, why didn't Bengong find out before, you were so ruthless? Bengong has always seen that you are reluctant to step on ants to death, but you don't even blink your eyes when you kill people!"
Hearing this, Bai Muci's heart rose with a trace of unease, and he kowtowed a few times to the queen on the ground, and then raised his head and cried:
"Auntie, Mu'er really knows that she is wrong, please forgive Mu'er, Mu'er will never dare to do it in the future. ”
The queen stared at Bai Muci coldly, seeing that her originally bandaged wound was stained with bright red blood at this moment, and her miserable white face looked pitiful, and she couldn't help but feel unbearable for a while.
He sighed faintly, and then said softly:
"Get up. ”
"Auntie......" Bai Muci's eyes swelled with deep horror.
Seeing this, the queen couldn't help but sigh again, glanced at Bai Muci, and then walked to her side and helped her up, saying:
"Your forehead is bleeding again, don't you feel pain?"
Hearing this, Bai Muci's eyes suddenly moistened, and as the queen's hand slowly stood up from the ground, she stabilized her figure and lowered her head to cry, but a fine light slipped under her eyes.
My aunt was really as she guessed, and she was still ruthless to herself after all, but she just slapped herself, and if she used some bitter tricks, she could easily make her soft-hearted, and then forgive herself.
Thinking of this, Bai Muci lowered his head and had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
But in the eyes of the queen, she lowered her head and cried, as if she was really repenting for what she had done before.
The queen looked at the gauze on Bai Muci's forehead with a large amount of blood, and her eyes were full of distress, and she didn't seem to be so angry when she heard what she had done before.
