Chapter 623: Caught in a dilemma
I don't know what method that person used to rebel against her, and he also sealed her mouth so tightly.
Looking at her appearance, she is in a dilemma, she doesn't want to confess the person behind her, and at the same time she feels guilty about the Queen Mother.
Su Xi thought about it and felt that it seemed that the temptation might not be of any use to Mama Li at all.
If you can't use the Queen Mother as a breakthrough, you will change your strategy and start with the person behind her.
After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her lips that were not dotted and red: "Mama Li, do you remember this thing?" ”
Mama Li looked up.
I don't know when, Su Xi's hand held the blood-colored jade pendant that was displayed in the Heart Cultivation Hall that day.
When Mama Li saw the jade pendant, she subconsciously tightened her palms, clutching the hem of her clothes, looking even more cramped and uneasy.
The panic and evasion that could be seen at a glance were all on her face, and even though she tried to restrain her emotions, she still didn't hide it well.
"The slave doesn't remember this." In a panic, she blurted out.
Su Xi took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it: "It's not the first time that Mama Li has seen this thing, how can she not know it?" In the past, my aunt could often wear it on her body, and the only one who was most familiar with her was you. ”
"And on the day of the Heart Cultivation Palace, I took it out and showed it to everyone, and you saw it all at that time."
"The Queen Mother has a lot of jewelry, and she wears it differently every day, and she will wear it for a few more days when she encounters something she particularly likes, but she won't wear it for too long," Mama Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened her lips with difficulty, "Although the concubine of the Heart Cultivation Hall took it out that day, the slave maid had no time to take care of anything else except being scared, so it was normal for the slave and maid not to remember." ”
"This is true," Su Xi raised his head slightly: "This jade pendant was found on the assassin who assassinated Xianrou, do you want to know what the assassin said?" ”
Hearing this, Mama Li smiled indifferently: "The slave doesn't know, and I don't want to know, no matter what the person says, it has nothing to do with the slave and the maid, the matter was arranged by the Queen Mother, and it didn't go through the slave and maid." ”
Su Xi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mama Li was so calm, she must have known that the assassin had bitten her tongue and committed suicide after being caught, but she didn't explain anything.
The people in the shadows have long held the whole thing in their hands, and it is really scary to think about it.
"The Queen Mother has always been cautious in her work, how could she use her personal things to buy people? Isn't this a legacy for yourself? Su Xi pinched the jade pendant on his fingertips and deliberately raised it, "I've been thinking about this matter for the past few days, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong, and I am very suspicious of planting blame." ”
She paused for a moment and continued unhurriedly, "This jade is fake and real, at first glance, I really thought it was the real piece of the Western Regions tribute, but fortunately, I asked someone to identify it, and it was a fake." ”
"So I'm curious," she said, glancing meaningfully at Mama Li, "where is that real jade pendant?" ”
"Maybe if you find the real jade pendant, you can know who is the real culprit behind the scenes, I have already sent someone to find it, I believe there will be results soon."
As Su Xi's words fell, Mama Li's face turned pale.
Her nails were sinking deep into the flesh, but she didn't know it hurt.
In the dim light, her cramped uneasiness was even more prominent, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva raw, and her voice was very quiet.
"If you can find the real jade pendant and return the queen mother's innocence, it will naturally be excellent." There is no confidence in saying it.
