Chapter 309: Justice

A miserable cry reached Mu Li's ears, and goosebumps all over his body. It's okay for those who poisoned them, but those innocent people didn't suffer in vain. Mu Li really couldn't bear to look at it, and hid behind Chu Lingyi.

No, justice has to be done for those innocent.

Mu Li remembered that once when she helped her mother handle the yam, she forgot to bring gloves, and as a result, her fingers were stained with yam juice, and it took several days to wash them off.

Yes, that's right. Just look at who has a black-gray stain on their hands to roughly determine who did it. "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

When the emperor heard that Mu Li had a way to find out the poisoned people among them, "Stop first." ”

Chu Lingyi blinked his eyes and asked Mu Li not to meddle in things, the affairs in this palace are not so easy to manage, don't make a fuss by yourself when the time comes.

It's not that Mu Li doesn't know the rights and wrongs in the palace, it's just that with so many lives in front of him, he can't see death without saving it. Mu Li couldn't do it, she couldn't see innocent people being implicated.

"Stretch out your hands."

What's to be done? Everyone present looked at Mu Li puzzled, could it be that they had secrets in their hands, it was too nonsense.

The people from the Internal Affairs Office stretched out their hands one by one, and Mu Li looked over one by one, and two of them had black and gray stains on their hands. "Tell me, who among you is the one who poisoned him?"

"No, I didn't."

said that he had never done this, Mu Li didn't believe it, what he had in his hand was evidence. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are not from the imperial dining room, and they can't touch the ingredients on weekdays, so if the stain on this hand is not yam juice, what else can it be?

One of them confessed that she had accidentally stained the ink, which had not been washed off for three or four days, and this reason was credible. But the other palace maid couldn't tell the reason, as if she had done something wrong.

"Arrest her."

The emperor ordered the thin and weak palace maid to be arrested, and the palace maid kept begging for mercy, saying repeatedly that she had not done anything to hurt Zhang Guifei.

The other fat palace maid kept her head down, and the tension in her face was even more obvious than that of the thin palace maid. "Your Majesty, wait a minute." Only those who have done bad things dare not look up, and the fatter palace maid is in this state now.

"Say, why did you want to harm Zhang Guifei, who is the mastermind behind you?" Mu Li approached her step by step, and she trembled with fright.

What is going on, how can it be this palace maid, Zhang Guifei was very curious about what the basis for Mu Li's judgment was. "Princess, why do you say that she poisoned her?"

Generally, if you touch the yam, your hand will be a little itchy, and if it is serious, you will have a rash all over your body like Zhang Guifei. There are some scratches on the hands, and there are a lot of scratches on the wrists of the fatter palace maids, although they have almost healed, but they can still be seen clearly.

"Do you have anything to say?"

The palace maid knew that what she had done had been exposed, and the queen had explained that she could not be confessed, otherwise she would die without a place to be buried. She has always kept these words in her heart, and dying in the hands of the emperor is also death, but in the hands of the queen, she may not know how painful it is.

Since it's all dead, let's do it better. The palace maid turned around and hit the pillar directly, and blood flowed out of her hair, causing the other palaces to scream.

The reason for Zhang Guifei's rash was found, but the palace maid died. The clue is broken like this?

The emperor attaches great importance to Concubine Zhang Guifei, and there must be no room for any mistakes in her safety, who knows what will happen in the future. The emperor ordered Chu Lingyi to investigate the case thoroughly, and he must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, so that he can be punished by the law and straighten the harem.

This hot potato was in Chu Lingyi's hands, and Mu Li was worried about him. Mu Li guessed that this matter was related to the queen, but no matter how she said it, she was the mother of a country. I almost lost my life by framing myself before, but I couldn't pull her down from the position of the queen, but this time it just made Zhang Guifei have a rash, and Mu Li was afraid that it would be another fruitless investigation.

"It's better to tell the emperor and let him check with someone else." The queen is not something that anyone can check, and if she doesn't find it, the queen will make a big fuss about it.

"It's okay, this king will pay attention to this matter."

The cause of Concubine Zhang Guifei's rash has been found, and there is no need for Mu Li to stay in the palace. But for some reason, Zhang Guifei felt that she was very close to Mu Li, and wanted Mu Li to stay with her for a while.

Mu Li thought about it, it was dangerous to stay in the palace, but he could help Chu Lingyi investigate the case. "Concubine Xie, then I'm welcome."

Zhang Guifei's favor is even more than before, and the other concubines in the palace are also red-eyed, saying that Zhang Guifei is a fox, deliberately occupying the emperor, and affecting the emperor's handling of state affairs.

In this case, I don't know if it's their own ideas, or if someone is behind it. Zhang Guifei has heard a lot of gossip, and if she wants to survive in the palace, the only thing is to learn to be patient.

"It's okay, let them talk."

Mu Li listened to and admired Zhang Guifei's mentality, this is probably the way to survive in the harem. During the time that Mu Li stayed in the palace, she didn't dare to go anywhere, so she only stayed in Concubine Zhang's bedroom.

"Oh, get out of the way, I'm looking for my imperial sister-in-law." Chu Ziyi blocked the door, shouting to find Mu Li to play, but this is Zhang Guifei's place, not the back garden, where men can enter and exit casually.

Zhang Guifei's maid stopped her outside, and Chu Ziyi shouted directly, which caused a lot of people to come and see the excitement. Mu Li and Zhang Guifei were playing chess, and they didn't make too many noises.

"Oh no, no, the Thirteenth Master is making trouble outside."

This demon, who dares to provoke it, will obey Mu Li's words. I heard that Mu Li was invited to the palace to treat Zhang Guifei's rash, but now that I am fine, I want to come to play with her.

Zhang Guifei didn't have much contact with Chu Ziyi, and she only met when the queen asked for peace, but everyone in the palace knew that he was a naughty person, and the emperor was also very fond of him.

"What, quick, invite him in." Zhang Guifei is careful in everything she does, she is afraid that she will accidentally offend Chu Ziyi.

Mu Li put down the chess pieces and told the concubine not to worry. "It's okay, let me meet him, I'm afraid this guy has itchy skin." Mu Li didn't keep his mouth shut for a while, and said it casually.

The main thing is to get along with Chu Ziyi, Mu Li feels that there is no pressure, it is completely different from other people in the palace, and there is no need to think about the words that are going to be said again and again.

As soon as Chu Ziyi saw Mu Li, he jumped up happily. "Imperial sister-in-law, you can be regarded as coming, you don't know that I am waiting for you every day."

Mu Li hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and this time he entered the palace for Concubine Zhang, otherwise he would never come. How did you know that Chu Ziyi's news was so well-informed, so he came over.

Mu Li gave Chu Ziyi a look, this is Zhang Guifei's place, how can he be so foolish.
