Chapter 296: Incident (3)

Ling Jingshu walked forward with everyone, looking around from the corner of her eye, the more she looked, the more frightened she became.

Everywhere in the Jiaofang Palace, the palace lamps were lit, and the lights were bright, shining clearly on the panic and consternation on everyone's faces.

From time to time, you can see the guards of the Royal Forest with sharp blades in their hands walking by, all with calm faces, sharp eyes, and the murderous aura they exude is chilling.

No one dared to speak.

Even a fool can see such a battle. Something big happened to the Jiaofang Palace! Whoever shouts indiscriminately at this juncture is afraid that his life will be lost.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the corner where the light could not shine: "Where are you running to?" ”

The footsteps of the crowd paused, and they looked over reflexively.

The palace maid who sneaked into the shadows quietly turned pale at this time, and explained tremblingly: "I'm in a hurry, I want to go to the toilet......"

That palace maid is one of Queen Xu's henchmen. At this time, the movement was sneaky, but I was afraid that it was not an internal emergency, but I wanted to sneak out of the Jiaofang Palace to report the news.

The royal forest guard who caught the palace maid sneered, didn't listen to the palace maid's defense at all, and neatly raised the long knife in his hand.

A flash of swords!

A scream!

A bloody light!

The palace maid fell softly in a pool of blood, and until the moment of death, she still maintained a horrified look on her face.

Everyone who saw this scene in their eyes was frightened. The timid one has been frightened out of bounds, and his face is pale.

Ling Jingshu's heart also sank. She was only excited about Queen Xu's accident just now, but she forgot that she was also a person in the Jiaofang Palace now. has been quite favored by Queen Xu recently, and has been in the limelight a lot. Later, you will rarely be questioned and interrogated.

She's got to pull her all together and get through this!

Ruilian, who was standing beside her, also trembled all over, but she didn't say anything, silently clenching her teeth hard.

The royal forest guard's gaze swept over, and he said coldly: "The emperor has an order, everyone should go to the main hall to wait. If anyone dares to play tricks, she will be your end! ”

Everyone was silent, moving in silence.

……

Soon, everyone was in the main hall.

When people are at their most flustered, it is natural to stand with the people they know best. It seems that this can resist the fear and panic in my heart a little.

More than 100 palace maids and attendants all stood honestly in the main hall, no one dared to move, but they did not seem crowded.

There were also more than twenty royal forest guards holding long knives in the main hall, and the cold light was shining in their eyes.

Ling Jingshu stood Ruilian on her left and Qiushuang on her right. Luo Yan and Yao Huang Xuesu also gathered around them.

Under the bright candlelight, several young women were pale.

Luo Yan's whole body has been trembling, and she lowered her voice tremblingly and said, "Ruilian, what happened?" Several of them stood in the middle of the main hall, surrounded by palace maids and attendants. As long as you keep your voice low and say a few words, it doesn't hurt.

Ruilian's lips moved, and her face was as white as paper: "I don't know either." ”

Qiushuang guessed in a low voice uneasily: "Is it the queen mother who ......?"

alarmed the emperor, and it was such a battle again. What happened, in fact, it is not difficult to guess.

The faces of several female officers were ugly. They are all close associates of Queen Xu, and they are both prosperous and lossy. If something happens to Queen Xu, what will be the fate of them?

An attendant walked in and shouted expressionlessly, "Ruilian, you come with me first." ”

Ruilian's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately responded.

The crowd parted automatically and made a way.

Ruilian is the most important person for Queen Xu, and she also has a calmness and calmness that is far better than ordinary people. At a critical time, it was a show of the demeanor that a female official should have. At least on the surface, it seems calm.

After Ruilian was taken away, Luo Yan Qiushuang and the others were in no mood to speak.

Little by little, time slipped by.

I don't know how long later, the chamberlain came in again with a blank face, this time ordering Qiushuang's name. Qiushuang bit her lip vigorously, as if she was rushing to the execution ground, and left tragically.

Then there are the wild goose, Yao Huang, and Xue Su.

None of the people who were called away returned to the main hall. I don't know where I was taken!

When it was Ling Jingshu's turn, Ling Jingshu was already mentally prepared, took a deep breath, and walked to the side of the chamberlain.

Compared with the panic and fear of Qi Luoyan and the others, Ling Jingshu's calmness at this time was particularly eye-catching. The waiter still had no expression on his face, and only glanced at Ling Jingshu more: "Come with me!" ”

……

Ling Jingshu silently followed behind the chamberlain and entered the side hall.

The side hall is slightly smaller than the main hall.

The emperor with a gloomy and cold face sat on the top, and Gonggong Ding and Gonggong Huang stood beside the emperor respectively. On each side stood a dozen sword-wielding guards.

The air seemed to be stagnant, condensed and heavy, and it was breathless.

Those who are a little more timid will weaken their legs on the spot when they see such a formation.

Ling Jingshu calmed down, stepped forward and knelt down: "Slave Ling Jingshu, please say hello to the emperor." ”

The girl's calm and melodious voice reached the emperor's ears.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked fixedly at the beautiful girl kneeling in front of him: "Ling Jingshu, do you know why I summoned you to interrogate?" ”

Ling Jingshu hung her head and replied respectfully: "The slave doesn't know, please forgive the emperor." ”

"I don't know!"

The emperor snorted coldly, his voice was cold: "Ruilian and the others don't know. You are all people close to the queen, how can you not know anything about the queen. It is clear that they colluded in a vain attempt to keep me in the dark. ”

"I only give you a chance, if you dare to tell half a word of lie, I will not only let you die without a place to be buried, but also destroy your nine clans!"

This is not a threat!

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, the blood is flowing like a river!

No one dares to bear this anger!

Ling Jingshu's heart was also pang, and she immediately said: "Please ask the emperor to ask, the slave and maid must know everything and say everything, and never dare to have half a word false." ”

The emperor asked coldly, "Do you know Yu Chun?" ”

Sure enough, it was the East Window incident!

Ling Jingshu said without hesitation: "It has been less than half a year since the slave maid entered the palace, but the people in the Jiaofang Palace also know each other. Yu Chun in the emperor's mouth is the maid next to the queen's mother. Yu Chun is handsome and handsome, and his mouth is sweet and pleasing, and he is quite popular with his mother on weekdays. At night, he often stayed in his mother's bedroom. ”

These statements are indeed exactly the same as what Luo Yan said.

The killing intent in the emperor's eyes faded a little: "In addition to Yu Chun, are there other chamberlains who are often on duty at night?" ”

Ling Jingshu did not hesitate, and told several attendants who were often on duty at night.

The more the emperor listened, the more ugly his face became.

What is on duty at night, it sounds good. It's just that Queen Xu can't bear to be lonely...... (To be continued.) )
