However, she knew that the reason why Zhan Qing did this must be his own intention, so she always didn't ask if she didn't care, but she didn't expect that now the gossip she had been looking forward to automatically fell on her head, Xu Xiangjin only felt that it was a pity why she didn't prepare fresh melon seeds and peanuts, and her current appearance really didn't look like a qualified shower.

Fortunately, Shuang'er didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xu Xiangjin's expression at the moment, otherwise she would have to spurt out a mouthful of old blood and fall to the ground half dead in anger.

She really didn't want to say it because she was embarrassed, but under the pressure of Zhan Qing's eyes, she had to say that under the stalemate, she didn't even notice that her lip was broken.

"Daily... Every day when he arrived at the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, His Majesty asked the concubines to kneel outside, not allowed to approach, and knelt all night, and only when they went to court during the day did they allow the concubines to stand up and go back..."

Xu Xiangjin couldn't help but look at Zhan Qing with admiration, this thing is simply more ruthless than a woman, on the one hand, she used Shuang'er to attract the wolf-like jealous eyes of those women in the harem, and on the other hand, she let Shuang'er kneel and be punished, which is a double blow to Shuang'er.

"Tut-tut, it's really embarrassing to say this kind of thing, but if you don't say it, you have to silently endure the daily pain, and you can't see that you can still hold on to the frost."

Xu Xiangjin's unevasive mocking words made Shuang'er can't help but glance at Xu Xiangjin viciously, and Zhan Qing immediately took a step forward to block in front of Xu Xiangjin, looking at Shuang'er as if warning.

"Shuang'er, all of this is your own fault, so you don't need to feel unwilling now, not to mention that if I don't treat you so deliberately, you don't know when you were killed by someone yesterday, and who will return my Jin'er to innocence at that time."

Since Shuang'er was interrogated, although her eyes have always been red, she has not cried, but when Zhan Qing's last sentence came out, her tears fell.

She had always held on to the last glimmer of hope, even if Zhan Qing didn't love her, but she could also take care of their love for so many years, so she was willing to protect her, but she didn't expect that the reason why he was willing to keep her life was because of Xu Xiangjin, her last remaining hope was gone...

As if the person was suddenly pulled out of her soul, all her strength suddenly dissipated, from kneeling just now, to half-lying and half-sitting on the ground like a puddle of mud, and her eyes became hollow.

"Shuang'er, I advise you not to toast, eat and drink, and quickly explain who instructed you."

At first, Frost shook her head in disappointment, but for a while, she shook her head gently as if she were only mechanical.

"No one instructed me, I did everything myself."

After interrogating for so long, and still not asking a reason, Zhan Qing couldn't help but glance at Xu Xiangjin who was sitting at the table and eating happily, and felt that she couldn't see an interrogation now, so she wondered if it would be Xu Xiangjin here, so she made Shuang'er worried, after all, no one wants to tell the truth to her rival in love.

"Jin'er, otherwise you go out for a while, or wait for me in the imperial study first, there are a lot of painting books I have collected, what a talented and beautiful woman, Miss Scholar, everything, you go to see it for a while."

Although it's a pity not to eat ready-made melons, it's really a bit boring to consume it now, think about it or it's more interesting to talk about it, it just so happens that the snacks on this table have made her eat almost, and it's really time to move a place.

After Xu Xiangjin left, Zhan Qing sat down where she was sitting before, and when she saw the messy dander kernels on the table, she inadvertently bent the corners of her mouth, and suddenly wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible and hurry up to see her.

"Shuang'er, now there is no one else here, you can say, who is behind you?"

………

Xu Xiangjin originally thought that Zhan Qing would be busy for a long time, but knowing that she had just seen the young lady scholar in the painting book was about to kiss and hug and hold him high, Zhan Qing came in, making him close the notebook with some pity.

"Why did you come back so soon, how did you ask? Did Frost recruit? ”

Zhan Qing drank all the tea that Xu Xiangjin had placed in front of him, and then sat down next to Xu Xiangjin, held her hand bag and pinched it in his hand, and then shook his head.

Her mouth was so tight that she didn't want to admit that someone had instructed her, but you could see how she could do that with her abilities. It's only possible that the person behind her is higher than her position, so she doesn't dare to admit it, and I can't summon the concubines of the harem for interrogation one by one without evidence, after all..."

"Indeed, if you do this, the harem will be in chaos..."

Xu Xiangjin took his words that were a little embarrassed.

"Yes, after all, I am not only the monarch of this harem, but also the monarch of the world, I can't make a storm in the city for this harem matter, this matter can only be until the frost first, okay..."

Xu Xiangjin knew that Zhan Qing just wanted to help her breathe out of her bad breath, but if the matter got bigger, maybe she would still be involved, and then the trouble would be even more difficult to solve, so it would be better to let it go.

"Do you think I'm such a small-bellied person, the frost has already made me breathe a bad breath, I feel comfortable now, the thing you mentioned is too troublesome, I don't want to investigate at all, as long as that person doesn't come to harm me anymore, just let her go..."

Xu Xiangjin said this freely, but he reminded Zhan Qing again that this person was still secretly waiting for an opportunity to kill Xu Xiangjin, if he left it alone, it would indeed be a big trouble in the future.

Although he had already mentioned to Xu Xiangjin that he would not investigate this matter anymore, Zhan Qing himself couldn't put his mind at ease, so he simply let the investigators not stop and let them continue to go deeper.

Unexpectedly, the results of the investigation made him unexpected, the clues slowly involved Queen Yuan's body, he was still curious about where Shuang'er got so much silver, who would have thought that it was all given to her by the queen, and Shuang'er has quietly entered and exited Jingren Palace countless times in the past few years, and he has never found out.

"You continue to investigate, and report any clues in time."

Zhan Qing continued to send tasks to the person in charge of the investigation, but there was no evidence at the moment, even if he knew that the poisoning had something to do with the queen, he couldn't question her, and in the end, the key clue fell on Shuang'er.

Although Shuang'er didn't want to explain anything, Zhan Qing thought that if he could use her, he just imprisoned her and didn't touch her.

Now that he had learned such an important clue from the queen, Zhan Qing had planned to re-interrogate Shuang'er, but when he arrived at the place where she was being held, he found that Shuang'er was curled up in a corner in pain, bleeding from the corners of her mouth.

"Hurry up, call the Imperial Doctor, she can't just die."

Shuang'er saw Zhan Qing in pain, and originally hoped that he could say some words of concern because of pity for himself, but in the end, he could only reluctantly accept that the emperor was still the cold-blooded emperor, except for Xu Xiangjin, he would not give mercy to any woman.

Soon the results of the doctor's examination came out, and Shuang'er was forcibly poured poison and could no longer open her mouth.

It was really bold for someone to dare to do something right under his nose, and Zhan Qing was suddenly a little disappointed in his anger, after all, the only useful clue he thought was now about to be scrapped.

Since it is useless, it is a waste of time to continue to detain Shuang'er here, but for her, he doesn't want to kill her, after all, she still has a different meaning to Xu Xiangjin, so he simply handed Shuang'er back to Xu Xiangjin.

It happened to be snowing heavily again on this day, and when Zhan Qing sent people over, Xu Xiangjin was standing at the door to enjoy the snow, and when he saw Shuang'er, he lost interest in an instant, so he didn't even let her in the door, and asked Xingxiang to move a bench for her, sit by herself, and let Shuang'er kneel in the snow.

"Presumably when your parents gave you this name, they never thought that you were so close to Leng Xue, hey, why do you say you are doing this, it is hard to tell the people behind you directly, and it will not be..."

Xu Xiangjin pointed at her helplessly, thinking that it had become this result, no matter how much she said, it would be a waste of words.

Xu Xiangjin asked Xingxiang to bring her a cup of hot tea, took a sip a little comfortably, and happened to see the vicious eyes cast by Shuang'er.

"It's useless for you to stare at me now, you didn't cause this result from me, but you can't blame me, it was you who cut off your own way with your own hands, and the consequences will naturally be borne by yourself, you can't blame anyone, if you want to complain, you still blame yourself."

Even though Shuang'er does look quite pitiful now, Xu Xiangjin can no longer have a trace of pity for her.

She used to treat her as her own person, and she treated her with her heart and lungs, who would have thought that she would stab herself in the back, and this head was directly inserted into her heart, making her cold for a long time, she has never been merciful to those who betrayed her.

"Since you made me enter the Yafeng Palace before, then I will naturally not treat you badly now, since the death of the first queen, this cold palace has been empty, and now it is indeed time to find a master for her, I think you are just right, in the future, don't come out again."

Shuang'er would rather have a good time than be escorted into the cold palace, not to mention that all the people who served her before were dismissed by Xu Xiangjin, and she was the only one in the gloomy cold palace.

Under the mixture of grief and hatred, Shuang'er began to hallucinate slowly, always felt that someone was going to ask for her life, she was frightened and afraid, but she couldn't even scream, the cold palace was too quiet, so quiet that she was almost crazy, and finally three days after entering the cold palace, Shuang'er couldn't bear it, and committed suicide by hanging the beam.

Xu Xiangjin was not surprised at all by this news, but sighed with some regret.
