Soon, Zhuer told everything about Xiao Lanxin secretly bribed him half a year ago.
Including how she took advantage of them not paying attention and secretly slipped the spices into the spices that Xiao Lanxin gave her, and how she secretly dumped the remnants of the spices.
The meticulousness of the process is staggering.
The queen felt pity when she saw Pearl looking like she was about to die.
If such a maid who values love, justice, and intelligence is really used by her, it will be a great thing, but... alas!
"Come here! Lock up Zhu'er with me, and don't let him out without my order. In addition, forget everything that happened today. If anyone reveals a word outside,
I will definitely not let him go!"
"Do you all understand?"
"Understood."
Everyone was as silent as a cicada. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would cause death.
"Get down!"
"yes."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the emperor arrived at the queen's palace. As soon as he entered, he saw the queen sitting on a chair crying with tears in her eyes.
The beauty’s pear blossoms and the rain are undoubtedly heart-warming.
"What's wrong with the queen? Could it be that she misses me and can't help herself?"
He was in a rare good mood and joked to the queen, but the queen did not smile and ignore him like before.
"What's wrong with the Queen? Why are you crying like this?"
Xiao Che looked at the queen, then turned to look at the maid aside, with a hint of dragon power in his tone.
"What happened, tell me! I want to know what happened to the Queen."
"His Majesty……"
The maid glanced at the queen in panic and hesitated to speak.
"Speak! Don't hesitate!"
"Replying to Your Majesty, your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is because you think of the innocent little prince half a year ago..."
This is said very skillfully.
While mentioning the Queen's sadness, he also told the Emperor that the Queen's child was innocent.
The meaning can be imagined.
Xiao Che frowned.
"This child has no fate with us. Don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault."
"Your Majesty, I always thought that it was because of my poor health that I died, but today I discovered that all this was caused by others, in order to cut off the emperor's bloodline. I don't know what happened.
Who is so hateful?"
"Queen, what are you talking about? Your words and deeds represent me, Dongchen. How can you talk nonsense?"
Xiao Che frowned and looked at the queen.
"Your Majesty!" The queen knelt down and cried in front of Xiao Che.
"I'm not talking nonsense! What I'm telling you is the truth! My child was killed..."
"Originally, I thought that it was because of my poor health that I couldn't give birth to the child. However, today, I accidentally discovered the truth."
Having said this, the queen put one hand on Xiao Che's knee, and her round tears rolled down.
"The reason why the child died is because someone added musk to the spices that I use every day! If you are in contact with musk for a long time, the child in the belly of a pregnant woman will die."
"And my concubine's child was killed by this spice! And the man who killed our child is still at ease in the palace! How can I not be sad?"
"Wait...what did you say?"
Xiao Zhe grasped the key point: "You said that our child is still in the palace? You mean that someone in the palace did the murder? But what evidence do you have? Just based on what you said,
How can I believe it?"
Xiao Che looked at the queen with some doubts.
It's not that he is suspicious, but how can you believe this kind of thing without evidence? Who in this palace dares to kill the queen?
"Your Majesty, look, this is it!"
The queen took out the spice box and pointed to the seal on it to Xiao Zhe: "This is a tribute from the Western Regions, it cannot be faked!
I remember that this spice was originally given by the emperor to the queen mother, but later the princess said that she liked spices. The queen mother always liked the princess, so she gave this box of spices to the princess. Your Majesty, do you still remember?"
Xiao Zhe looked through the delicate spice box in his hand. After seeing the three words "Gong from the Western Regions" at the bottom, he suddenly thought of it.
The queen carefully looked at Xiao Che's face and successfully saw his dark face.
I felt a little secretly happy in my heart.
"Since this spice box is with the princess, how come you have it?" Xiao Che looked at the queen suspiciously.
There was a hint of evil in his stern eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, I also accidentally discovered this spice. I found this spice on a maid in my palace. Today, the maid came to give me the thing and accidentally dropped it."
"I was originally interested in seeing the exquisite spice box, but I didn't expect that this spice box actually had some seals from the Western Regions on it. After thinking about it carefully, I discovered that this box of spices was given to the princess by the Queen Mother.
That box."
"I questioned the maid for a while. I originally thought that the maid had stolen the princess's spices with dirty hands and feet, but I didn't expect that in the end I found out that the princess gave her the box of spices on purpose.
I also asked the imperial doctor to take a look, and found that the content of musk in it was extremely high. If I was in the same state as before, and asked about musk every day, the child would be dead within two months..."
The queen spoke with tears in her eyes. She felt uncomfortable whenever she mentioned the child.
Different from the false rhetoric just now, she really loves her child to the core.
"Presumptuous!" After hearing this, Xiao Che slammed the table, and his originally handsome face was shrouded in strong anger.
"Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me!" The queen saw the right moment and drugged Xiao Che fiercely.
"The princess has always been close to the Queen Mother, but she doesn't know why she did such a thing to my concubine. This is the emperor's child! It concerns the emperor's heir, which is the foundation of the country!"
The queen is a smart person. After understanding the cause and effect, she realized that Xiao Lanxin had done all this alone.
But it would be a good thing if the emperor could find an opportunity to break with the queen mother in one fell swoop. After all, no one likes to be controlled by others and be a puppet emperor.
What's more, if it is finally found out that the Queen Mother was not behind the instigation, the relationship between the Queen Mother and Xiao Lanxin will not be as close as before.
No matter what the Queen Mother has in mind, she will never let the Emperor lose his descendants.
Xiao Lanxin's move is undoubtedly seeking death.
The most important point in this sentence is that it can successfully instigate the emperor and the queen mother.
The emperor had long thought of concentrating power in his own hands, but the queen mother had been controlling it from behind. The emperor had no chance at all. The emperor had long been dissatisfied with the queen mother.
