Seeing that the two people in front of her were silent, Xidie stood up, her face was pale and colorless, she smiled with a bitter smile, swallowed all the sourness, looked at Yang Yuxuan's hesitant look, and said lightly
"Does Mr. Yang also think that this palace is a self-immolation palace just to attract the emperor?"
Yang Yuxuan's face turned red. This was exactly what he was thinking, because when he hurried to Lingfeng earlier, he and his subordinates also heard the maids' chatter.
The news spread throughout the palace. In order to see the emperor, the queen did not hesitate to burn down her own palace. She deliberately lay on the bed and waited for the emperor to come to save her. When she was in despair, she was fortunately helped by Princess Luo. Unexpectedly, she repaid her kindness and not only killed her but also killed her.
The palace maid who was disrespectful to her wanted to set fire to Princess Luo because the food was not to her liking. If she hadn't discovered it earlier, Princess Luo would have been buried in the flames.
Xidie wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. She knew that the emperor probably knew most of the inside story and was deliberately waiting to see how she would die!
"All the disadvantages point to me, Master Yang. If it is really unsolvable, Master Yang can arrest me and send me to the Ministry of Punishment. I will not complain at all!"
"This...Wei Chen is ashamed. Wei Chen should do his best to investigate this case thoroughly!"
Three lines suddenly appeared on Yang Yuxuan's handsome face. He was annoyed with the dullness of the Ministry of Punishment, and annoyed that he had too few clues. As soon as he found out the clues, the emperor would appear and be stuck here, looking like he just wanted to watch the fun, and even ordered,
Don't disturb the princess' purity without anything else. She clearly wants to take the opportunity to punish the queen, which makes it very difficult for the punishment department.
"A thorough investigation?"
Xidie pursed her seductive red lips, seeming to be mocking, seeming to be sarcastic.
"I'm afraid someone doesn't want you to investigate thoroughly and wants to see me framed!"
"hehe……"
Yang Yuxuan didn't expect the queen to be so smart, and was embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to reply, so he could only laugh twice. Qin Ke, who was standing aside, looked at Mr. Yang, lowered his head in thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head,
He said with wide eyes.
"wrong!"
Xidie and Yang Yuxuan looked at Qin Ke at the same time, with infinite expectations in their eyes. Although the emperor was obstructive, in their hearts, they still hoped to find the real murderer.
"Since no one lives in that wing, why did the fire start from this wing? It was clearly someone's intention!"
While they were talking, Xiuqiao entered the side hall with a cup full of blood swallow porridge. Xidie looked at Xiuqiao, her beautiful eyes suddenly shone with strange light, and a few words with extra weight escaped her lips.
"If I find out who set the fire, I will cut her into pieces and hang her head outside the city for a month!"
"Boom..."
As soon as Xidie finished speaking, there was a thud outside the side hall, and Qin Ke rushed out of the door. When he came in, there was an extra person in his hand, the palace maid Xiulian. Xidie was slightly surprised.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at Xiuqiao who was standing aside, and then at Xiulian who was trembling after being caught.
Xiuqiao acted as if nothing had happened, but her face was much paler than before, while Xiulian's reaction was so intense that her teeth were chattering.
"Xiulian, what's wrong with you?"
"The Empress, the Empress, this slave didn't mean to hear it. I was passing by just now and happened to hear the Empress's words about being quartered by five horses and exposed to the sun for a month. The slave was frightened for a moment and knocked down things in the courtyard. She was shocked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Xiulian was shaking non-stop, her face was as white as the snowflakes outside. Although her words were full of loopholes, Xidie remained calm.
"hehe……"
Xidie smiled pretending to be relieved, took a step forward, patted the back of Xiulian's hand and said, "You guys are just timid. Isn't this what I just said casually? Xiuqiao, please send Xiulian back to her room. Don't do it."
I’m frightened by this palace again!”
"Yes, empress..."
Xiuqiao was startled when she was called by the queen. She trembled slightly, gave a salute, supported Xiulian and walked out of the side hall. Yang Yuxuan and Qin Ke looked at the queen in confusion.
Why did the queen ignore people when they had problems? Qin Ke was young and energetic, and could not bear his temper. He also thought that the queen really believed those two maids, so he was a little annoyed, so he went forward and knelt down.
"Queen, did you know..."
"I know everything!" Xidie's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she struck Qin Ke like thunder, making Qin Ke, a grown man, feel cold all over.
