Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Assassin Is Dead?
The queen did not wait for the good news she had been waiting for, but for the last thing she wanted to hear.
After everyone was silent for about a stick of incense, Green Lotus hurriedly entered the hall and whispered a few words to the queen. I saw that the queen's face changed greatly after hearing this, and her eyes became sharp when she looked at Ji Yueqin.
Ji Yueqin, what a good means! In this way, he was able to get out, and he could only blame himself for underestimating her!
Ji Yueqin looked at the queen's suddenly discolored face, and knew in her heart that the person had already helped her take care of the aftermath. She smiled sweetly at the queen and said, "Auntie, what's wrong?" Could it be that the assassin didn't catch it, and didn't have the legal peace, and it made you feel uncomfortable? ”
The Queen Mother also saw this scene on her face, and immediately the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, if Ji Yueqin really had an accident, she would be even more ashamed of the dead Duan Rou. At the beginning, it was also because she made Duan Rou and her son unable to go to the end, and she already felt a little indebted in her heart, so for Ji Yueqin, she not only cherished and cared for her, but also felt a little indebted.
"Queen, what's going on?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth majestically, now let's see what the Queen has to say.
The queen pulled out a stiff smile, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the assassin has been caught." It was Yu'er who caught it, and when she caught the assassin, she was said to have left a suicide note. ”
"Oh? Note? In this way, this suicide note is the key. Why don't we go and see what is written in this suicide note, if it is not about Yueqin, we can naturally clear Yueqin's suspicions. ”
The Queen Mother paused and continued, "The mourning family sent someone to Yueqin's house to take a look, and there was indeed blood stains on her bed, but this blood stain was splashed on it just now, what does it mean, the queen should understand it in your heart, right?" The Queen Mother glared at the queen and said coldly.
The queen had that stiff smile on her face, and she didn't know whether she should keep it or not, this suicide note was obviously not indicated by herself, so the death of this "assassin" was deliberately done by someone.
Someone is behind Ji Yueqin's back!
This thought instantly exploded in the queen's mind, who was doing it against herself? Chaise? Concubine De? Or maybe the same assassin from last night. The queen didn't know who it was for a while, no wonder she looked at Ji Yueqin's indifferent appearance, and she really underestimated her.
"Then let's go and take a look, it's time to find out the truth, but we can't wronged Yueqin." The queen's voice was a little stiff, but she still said it head-on.
After hearing this, Ji Yueqin smiled at the queen and said: "It's not that my aunt is embarrassed for me, An Ning knows that my aunt's strictness is good for Yueqin, after all, Yueqin is the most suspicious in this matter." In addition, my aunt, as the head of the first house, is the most fair and stern, if it is really Yueqin's doing, my aunt will not dare to cover me, so the queen mother should not blame my aunt. ”
The queen mother listened to Ji Yueqin's words, and she was distressed and scolded the queen in her heart, thinking that Ji Yueqin was so well-behaved and sensible, she must have been very aggrieved in her heart. No matter how she said that the queen was her aunt, she was framed by her aunt, but she still had to turn around and help her aunt speak, she was really a rare good child.
So he was a little more attentive to Ji Yueqin, and the guilt in his heart was also amplified a little bit, and he really wanted to compensate her well.
Unlike the Queen Mother, the queen's face was distorted when she heard Ji Yueqin's words, and the stiff smile on her face was ugly and ugly.
It sounds like he's talking for himself, and he's secretly scolding himself. The good thing to say is strict and fair, but the ugly thing is that he has too much power in the harem, covering the sky with one hand, and framing others is also easy to do.
But looking at the appearance of the Queen Mother, she obviously felt that Ji Yueqin was giving herself a step, if she didn't follow her words, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would go to the emperor to complain, and it would be enough for her to drink a pot. But if he really follows Ji Yueqin's words, isn't that a disguised admission that he is powerful in this harem?
Good for you, Ji Yueqin! Hongu really underestimates you! You pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, right, there is no chance this time, tonight this palace still has a chance to make you doomed!
The queen hated her teeth so much that she had to grit her teeth and said: "Yueqin is right, this palace must have been carried away by the recent government affairs, but she didn't take things well." But even so, Yueqin is still suspicious, but he will take a look at the thief to restore Yueqin's innocence. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, "That's very good, then let's leave now to take a look at the thief and his suicide note." ”
The queen answered, and then ordered the people below: "Come on, drag this cheap maid who framed the master down for me!" Gouge out her tongue and shoot her with a rod! ”
When the palace maid listened to the queen's words, her face instantly turned pale, and she had to shout again and again that she was wronged. Lu He was afraid that she would confess to the queen mother in the next sentence, so she stepped forward and slapped the palace maid fiercely, and then took the handkerchief and stuffed it into the mouth of the palace maid, and could only hear the whining sound of the palace maid.
The palace people accepted by the queen were also very nimble, and they didn't even look at the palace maid, so they dragged the person down.
Ji Yueqin didn't break the queen's thoughts, but glanced at the queen meaningfully and said: "My aunt is really resolute, and she is also very shrewd in the methods of subordinates who have made mistakes, but it makes An Ning admire it tightly." In the future, when she is free, An Ning will definitely learn from her aunt. ”
The queen heard Ji Yueqin's words, even if she hated it now, she couldn't do anything, plus Ji Yueqin didn't belong to the harem in the first place, and her own means were also limited a little. But let her be proud for a while, and when the end comes, I can't make her laugh.
"Okay, okay, this person is also disposed of, and we don't stay in Qianxi Palace. Jingzhu, arrange people to clean the county lord's dormitory, and send a few more people outside the hall when the time comes, so as not to let any cats and dogs enter the palace and disturb the county lord's safety. The Queen Mother commanded the maid beside her and got up.
Jingzhu answered the order and ordered to come down, asked someone to prepare a sedan chair, and stayed in the Qianxi Palace to do something.
The Queen Mother and her entourage walked out of the Qianxi Palace slowly, and saw that Ji Yueqin's side Xiuzhu and Huaizhu were not there, but they also felt a little puzzled: "Yueqin, why is there no palace maid waiting for you by your side?" Where did Xiuzhu and Huaizhu go? ”
When Ji Yueqin heard the Queen Mother say this, she also felt that there were a few people around her who could be trusted, so she said to the Queen Mother: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Aunt Xiuzhu and Huaizhu are busy, and Yueqin sees that she doesn't need to serve or anything for the time being, so she didn't take the two of them with her." ”
The Queen Mother also secretly thought that there were not enough people serving Ji Yueqin around her, so she said to Ji Yueqin: "Since there are not enough people, I will tell the emperor to choose a few little palace maids who have just entered the palace for you later." ”
