"Why are you doing that?" The queen looked at Xiao Yue, hesitated slightly, and then spoke.

"Hmph, she thinks she is a young lady and beats and scolds us every day, Chen Mansion has fallen now, does she still think that she is the eldest lady who is high up and the whole world has to hold her? Yes, I look like she's pampered to outsiders, but who knows what I'm getting in for? I flattered her every day, slapped her beard, and if a word did not meet her wishes, she would raise her hand and give me a slap, but I still had to smile and tell her that she played well, and if she was not angry, she could beat her a few more times. We were both born and raised by our parents, so why should she be born superior to me? I'm fed up with that undignified, animal-like life, and I hate her, and only her death in the most miserable and humiliating way can relieve the hatred I have had had for so many years. When Xiao Yue heard the queen's question, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of resentment. may have thought that he would definitely die this time, and he would not have lost his previous humility, and he even called himself me when talking to the queen.

Of course, that's not the point, the point is the reason she said? Since she had endured it for so many years, why did she suddenly explode at this moment? Why pull up the cold smoke?

Mu Qianxia has always known that Chen Chen has a bad temper, and he has been the most favored one in the family since he was a child. In her eyes, she was born superior, and everyone else was the most humble and lowly person, who could be beaten and scolded by her. Recently, the Chen Mansion has fallen, everything is not as good as before, the rumors outside are raging, and the people she looked down on in the past are now beginning to sneer at her, plus she has been in poor health in recent days, and her temper is getting bigger and bigger, and she loses her temper in the house every day, and the subordinates are a little less than she wants, so she has to beat and scold, causing the people to complain, but they dare not speak out. It's just that she ever thought that the lowly person she used to look down on the most has now become the person who wants her life? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, and this principle is indeed applicable at all times.

It's just that although this reason sounds very reasonable and people can't find a problem, Mu Qianxia feels that it is very problematic. In this case, no problem is the biggest problem, Xiaoyue said this passage as if she had memorized it in advance, and the logic was very clear, but she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

"Who is that man? Who instructed all this? Mu Chenyi asked directly about the point, this is the key to the matter.

"Slave, slave ......" Hearing Mu Chenyi's questioning and feeling the coercion emanating from Mu Chenyi's body, Xiaoyue regained her previous humility again, bowed her head vigorously, and even began to stutter again.

Then, her head seemed to get lower and lower, lower and lower, and her body seemed to be shaking a little abnormally.

Mu Qianxia was shocked when she saw her strange appearance, and then quickly moved forward, wanting to lift her face.

It's just that Gu Li walked in front of her one step faster, stopped her movements, and then glared at her fiercely, does this woman know the danger, she doesn't know martial arts, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, so she is not afraid that Xiao Yue will suddenly use a secret weapon or poison her?

Gu Li didn't use his hand, but directly raised his foot and kicked Xiao Yue, and then Yue rolled directly to the side.

I saw that Xiao Yue's face was completely black at this moment, her eyes were staring straight at her, her body twitched slightly, and there was a trace of black blood left at the corners of her lips.

Mu Qianxia was shocked, although she didn't know much about poison, but she didn't even find out that Xiaoyue had poison hidden on her body just now? It can be seen how clever the methods of the poisoner are.

Obviously, that person had poisoned Satsuki in advance, but this poison could not be discovered in Satsuki's body before it flare-up, and once it flare-up, it could kill in the shortest possible time.

It's just that the man also controlled this time too well, and at the most critical time, the poison attacked.

Mu Qianxia faintly broke out in a cold sweat, that person really calculated everything just right, seamlessly, step by step, link by ring, every place was calculated in a shocking way.

Mu Qianxia felt that the person seemed to be behind him, looking at everything clearly.

Xiao Yue was already angry at the moment, Gu Li took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms when he saw this, took out a pill inside, stuffed it into Xiao Yue's mouth, and then smiled and said softly: "This pill is made of a thousand-year-old snow lotus, which is enough to support you to tell the mastermind behind the scenes." If you really don't want to say it, it doesn't matter, I still have a thousand times better medicine in my hand, even if you are punished, I will not kill you. Did you know that sometimes life is more painful than death, and death is sometimes more of a relief. ”

Xiao Yue looked at the handsome and extraordinarily handsome man in front of her, with a warm smile like a spring breeze on her face, but she said the most vicious and ruthless words. He is like a messenger of hell with an angelic face, holding the fate of all people.

Gu Li took a step forward and whispered in Xiao Yue's ear: "I heard that you also have a younger brother who has been dependent on each other since childhood."

Xiao Yue's body stiffened, and her face was quickly filled with panic and helplessness. But it was quickly suppressed, and the man said that as long as she handled this matter for her, if she had a life, he would give her a large sum of money, so that she could reunite with her brother and live a prosperous and peaceful life. If she dies because of this, that person will also send someone to take care of her brother when he grows up, and protect him for a safe and prosperous life. That's why she agreed to that person's conditions and betrayed her master. Her life is not important, and she is not afraid of death, as long as her brother can live a safe and prosperous life.

"Don't you know that your brother died suddenly at home last night, and who did it is, you must know very well, don't you?"

"No, no, you must be lying to me, she promised me that she would protect my brother for the rest of his life, how could she break her word? This must not be true, you must have lied to me to lure me into telling the truth. ”

"You can go from an ordinary maid to the trust of your master, presumably you are not an innocent person who doesn't understand anything, you must have done a lot of such things for your master, right?" Gu Li didn't say it directly, but used such subtle words to plant a seed of doubt in her. In order to prevent their secrets from being leaked, in addition to being their own confidants, all those who know will be killed afterwards. It's not that they don't have a heart, it's not that they are ruthless, it's that they know how much hidden danger they will bury for themselves if they are soft-hearted, it's that they know that they can't afford to lose, there are countless people behind them, and once something happens to them, everyone will be implicated. Therefore, they will choose to sacrifice the lives of a few for the sake of more people.

Xiao Yue smiled sadly, yes, how could she be so stupid, so naïve, that she would really believe that person's words. It was her mistake that killed her brother, and she was so young, but she became a victim of other people's struggles. But she hates it so much, not only hates herself, but hates that person even more. Her brother was still so young and didn't know anything, how could that person be so ruthless in killing his brother. She's unwilling, she's really unwilling, and she's going to make that person pay the price.

Gu Li took in Xiao Yue's expression, and no longer continued to say words to seduc, got up, walked calmly, and slowly retreated to Mu Qianxia's side.

Mu Qianxia has been staring at Xiao Yue tightly, and naturally has a full view of her reaction. Xiao Yue went from indifference to fear at the beginning, to panic, to disbelief, to sadness and despair, and finally to resentment and the determination of the fish to die. She turned her head to look at Gu Li, who was standing beside her and smiled calmly, and asked curiously, "What did you say to her just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just telling her something, making her understand something. Since it is not as good as the princess today, she can show her skills. Gu Li said lightly.

"Forehead......" Mu Qianxia rubbed her hair puzzled, why did she think Gu Li was angry just now? But seeing that his expression was no different from usual, was it just her delusion?

Xiao Yue was unusual, struggling to get up, kneeling on the ground, bowing her head, hiding the resentment in her eyes, "Your Majesty, the slave has something to say." ”

Mu Chenyi turned his head and glanced at Gu Li, who was standing beside Mu Qianxia, and his indifference made Mu Chenyi swallow the words from his mouth back into his stomach, and said in a cold voice, "Say." ”

"The slave didn't know who the man was, and she had never seen him, but the slave knew who was the one who instructed the slave to do this."

The queen's body stiffened, her face full of disbelief, and she stared at Satsuki tightly, her eyes full of warning.

But Xiao Yue didn't raise her head from beginning to end, ignoring the queen's cold knife-like gaze, "The person who instructed the slave maid to do this at that time was - she." Xiaoyue Huo Ran raised her head, and pointed straight at the personal palace maid beside the queen.

"You, what nonsense you say, you dare to talk nonsense when you are dying."

"Am I talking nonsense? Do you dare to swear by God that what I just said is not true? ”

"I, I ......"

Xiao Yue stood up tremblingly, straightened her back, and took a deep breath, "One night half a month ago, you found me and told me that as long as I did this for you, you would promise me and my brother countless glory and wealth." Yes, I confess, I have a grudge against Mademoiselle, but she has never treated me badly in money. I don't know what the reason I was in at the time, maybe I was blinded by the devil, maybe I was blinded by lard, but anyway, I was sent by the devil to agree. Five days ago, she gave me a packet of powder, saying that if I gave it to my lady, it would make her limbs sore and weak, but she would not find any cause. Sure enough, Miss's health deteriorated, and she was basically bedridden today, and even the imperial doctor couldn't find out any reason. The night before, she came to me again and told me that a man would be here on the day, and that I would only have to take care of the answer and finally kill the lady. I was a little scared and a little regretful, but it was too late and I had to do it. It's just that I didn't expect them to treat Miss like that. The incident has happened, and there is no way to undo it, and the young lady also knows that I am an accomplice, and according to the young lady's previous temperament, I must have only one way to die. So, I had to do it. ”

With every word that Xiao Yue said, the palace maid's body stiffened, her face became more and more white, and in the end, there was no trace of blood.
