Right next to the big stone where Concubine Xiang fell, Ye Xun saw a palace maid kneeling there, burning paper money and muttering something. He subconsciously moved closer, and he heard clearly what the palace maid said.
"Concubine Xiang, I'm sorry. It's not that I didn't tell the emperor what I saw that day, but the other party was the empress. I really didn't dare to go. Please rest in peace. The empress has been relegated to the cold palace by the emperor. You will soon
Then justice can be redressed.”
The palace maid's words made Ye Xun's heart tighten again. Could it be that he had really misjudged Huo Zhixin and that she had really killed Concubine Xiang.
Walking out of the darkness, Ye Xun walked behind the palace maid and said coldly: "Tell me clearly what you saw that day, word for word."
Ye Xun's voice made the palace maid turn her head suddenly, her face instantly turned pale, and her whole body was shaking violently due to fear.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please spare your life, this slave... this slave deserves to die."
"I'll say it again, tell me everything you saw that day. If you hide anything, I'll take your head off immediately." Ye Xun's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the palace maid's words made him even more desperate for Zhi Xin.
stand up.
"Yes, yes, slave... I must tell the truth." The maid kept kneeling in front of Ye Xun and kowtow.
"Say it."
"Then...that day, I went to find Concubine Xiang. Not far away, I saw the Queen taking the big stone that day and smashing it into the back of Concubine Xiang's head. At that time, Concubine Xiang had a lot of bruises on her head.
Blood, the servant was frightened, and saw the Queen leaving Concubine Xiang and walking away. But after a while, she came back again, hugging Concubine Xiang and saying something, and then... Later the slave saw the Emperor and the guards.
Come here, I'm afraid of offending the Queen, so I haven't dared to say it, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die, please forgive me." The maid was so frightened that she kowtowed, secretly sighing that she was unlucky. What happened to the Queen's murder of Concubine Xiang?
Just happened to be bumped into by her.
"Did you see with your own eyes that the person who hit Concubine Xiang was the queen?" With his last bit of hope, Ye Xun asked.
"Back to the Emperor, I didn't see the Queen's face, but I recognized the clothes she was wearing. They were the clothes the Queen wore that day. Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense. Please forgive me."
Ye Xun was completely stunned by the words of the palace maid. If Yong Xin framed her, then what about this palace maid? She had no grievances against her, and besides, she was still a queen. Even if this palace maid had the courage, she would not dare to press the queen's hand.
Such a crime, does that mean everything is true?
"Okay, you go down." Ye Xun waved his hand feebly, and Ye Xun's feet were a little unsteady.
Her eyes are slightly red, Xin'er, why do you want me to be so disappointed in you? You know how much I hope you didn't do all this, but why, why did you do it? Tell me, I've known you for less than a day.
Is a man worth killing for?
What do I mean to you?
Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Xun's eyes became moist, and when it came to his mouth, he tasted a hint of salty taste.
