"Ah!" The sudden situation shocked all the concubines present.
The bright smile on Ruoshuiyue's face also quickly retreated at that moment as the star envoy fell to the ground, and was replaced by a cold look on his face.
After glancing at Ruoshuiyue, Baiyue hurriedly stepped forward to check the star envoy's condition.
"What's going on?" After a moment, Ruoshuiyue finally opened her cold lips and asked Baiyue.
"Poisoned."
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue twitched the corner of her mouth and laughed contemptuously and coldly. "What is the specific reason?"
"That jade necklace." Pointing to the necklace still in the star envoy's hand, Bai Yue replied indifferently.
"Bring it up."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" Hearing this, Concubine An Hanyan hurriedly dissuaded her.
"It's okay, bring it up." Ruo Shuiyue replied lukewarmly, and Ruo Shuiyue spoke to Bai Yue again and ordered.
Hearing this, Bai Yue didn't dare to show any slightness, and hurriedly took the necklace from Xingshi's hand and gave it to Ruoshuiyue.
Picking up the necklace, Ruo Shuiyue came closer and smelled it, then laughed coldly. "Send it to her and give her a spiritual heart."
"Got it." In response, Bai Yue quickly arranged for the star envoy to carry the poisoned star envoy down.
Looking back again, Ruoshuiyue glanced at the faces of the concubines with sharp eyes. "Who gave this necklace?"
As soon as Ruoshuiyue finished speaking, he saw the concubine named Qing Meiren kneeling on the ground with a thumping sound, and replied with a horrified look on her face. "My queen, it was sent by my concubine. But, my concubine did not poison me!"
"The evidence is all in front of you, and you still dare to say that you didn't poison me." Hearing this, Concubine Lan Gu Shulan stared at the concubine with contempt and replied.
"That's right, who else could it be if it weren't you?" Lin Yunshang also hurriedly agreed.
Looking at the two of them coldly, Ruoshuiyue's eyes slowly fell on Qingmei's face. "I want to ask you, apart from you, who else has touched this jade necklace?"
Seeing Ruoshuiyue stunned, Qingmei thought for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly and replied. "Apart from my concubines, the only one left is Dong Wen, my personal maid." As she spoke, her eyes slowly moved towards the direction.
The palace maid looked at it.
As soon as Qing Meiren finished speaking, the palace maid named by her hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Ruoshuiyue. "Empress, I am wronged! I have never seen any jade necklace from the beginning to the end."
"You, you are talking nonsense. I obviously asked you to put the jade necklace in last night." Qingmei hurriedly retorted.
"Your Majesty, you can't put all the blame on this slave in order to get away with it! This slave..."
"That's enough." Before the palace maid Dong Wen could finish her words, Ruoshuiyue interrupted her sharply. "I want to ask you, who ordered you to administer this poison?"
Unexpectedly, Ruo Shuiyue would directly point the finger at herself. Dong Wen looked stunned. "Empress, my servant has been wronged! Please, Empress, you..."
"How about asking me to ask you to check it out? Then I will tell you that I will not check it today." Not wanting to hear the maid chattering any more, Ruo Shuiyue interrupted her impatiently.
.
This sentence made all the concubines shocked. She actually didn't investigate such a big thing like poisoning? What that man wanted was her life!
"Empress!" Looking at Ruoshuiyue with an indifferent expression, Dong Wen couldn't believe it. She just stopped checking? But why?
"As for you, since you want to take the blame for the people behind the scenes, I will help you. Anyone who comes, drag them out and behead them." Looking at the palace maid with contempt, Ruoshuiyue directly ordered. In front of her.
Play tricks, that's fine, she will make it happen.
"Empress, this servant has been wronged! You have been wronged!" Hearing this, Dong Wen was suddenly startled and hurriedly shouted: "You are wronged."
"You know in your heart whether you are innocent or not. Drag it on!"
After giving the order, two guards suddenly appeared at the door. They took Dong Wen and walked out.
"Empress, the slave said, the slave said..." Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, Dong Wen suddenly came back to her senses, struggled and shouted.
Ruoshuiyue twitched her lips and smiled coldly. "No, I don't want to know now." After saying that, Ruoshuiyue impatiently waved her hand to the guards, signaling for them to drag her out quickly.
Leng Ran's words not only stunned Dong Wen, but also all the concubines present. She, she really stopped investigating? Is this the end of the matter?
After the palace maid was dragged out, Ruoshuiyue's eyes fell on Qingmei's face again. "Get up!"
"My concubine, thank you, the empress." Qingmei glanced at Ruoshuiyue and replied cautiously.
"This is the harem. Please be careful in the future so that you don't end up not knowing how you lost your life." Seeing the frightened look on her face, Ruoshuiyue kindly reminded her.
Nodding, Qingmei replied softly, "That's what the Queen taught me."
"Here, I would like to remind everyone. I am not Ni Nuo'er, so don't play any tricks in front of me, otherwise I will let you know what real terror is. Do you understand?" She didn't want to do that.
From now on, I will deal with these intrigues every day.
"Yes, I sincerely follow the Queen's decree." After looking at Ruoshuiyue, all the concubines responded in unison.
"Okay, that's all..."
"Master, the Third Princess Dongmi would like to see you." Before Ruo Shuiyue could finish her words, a star envoy rushed in.
Ruo Shuiyue's eyes darkened, and she laughed evilly. "She actually has the courage to come to see me! It's interesting. Let her come in!"
"yes..."
Seeing the smile on Ruoshuiyue's face at this moment, the concubines couldn't help but tremble.
In just a blink of an eye, Ni Qian'er came in dressed beautifully. "I want to see Ye Xiu." Ni Qian'er said directly without greeting or saluting.
One sentence made everyone present frown involuntarily. Not only because she ignored Ruoshuiyue, the empress of Nantuo, but more importantly, she actually dared to call the emperor by his name.
After looking up and down Ni Qian'er with eyes as beautiful as stars, Ruoshuiyue finally said coldly, "Who do you think you are? Are you the one who can see me, the emperor of Nantuo Kingdom, if you want to?"
"Ruoshuiyue, you..."
"Presumptuous. Can you even call me by my given name?" To this woman, she didn't have to be polite at all, let alone worry about her image as a queen.
With a glare, Ni Qian'er replied dissatisfiedly, "I am Dongmi's third princess."
Hearing this, Ruoshuiyue laughed with disdain. "The third princess of Dongmi? Haha, why did I hear that you were not as good as a humble maid in Dongmi? Give me back the third princess? Bah."
As soon as Ruo Shuiyue said these words, all the concubines looked at each other. No wonder she would shamelessly seduce the emperor. It turned out to be because she could no longer live in Dongmi Country!
Seeing the contemptuous and sarcastic looks of the concubines, Ni Qianer's face turned red with anger. "You..."
"What? I tried all my methods at night, even using love potions, but I still couldn't seduce Xiahou Yexiu. Do you think you can still seduce him in broad daylight?" Ruoshuiyue raised her eyebrows with contempt.
said.
If possible, Ni Qian'er would really like to cut Ruoshuiyue into pieces with a thousand knives at this moment. "You, I am too lazy to pay attention to you. I am here to find Xiahou Yexiu."
"How brave of you are you to call me Emperor Nantuo by my first name? What? You are representing Dongmi that you don't see me as Nantuo, right? If so, then I have to ask you Dongmi
The fourth prince and princess of Mi have a chat." Knowing that she was afraid of Murong Tuo Mi, Ruo Shuiyue deliberately pulled him out.
Sure enough, when she heard that Ruoshuiyue wanted to invite Murong Tuomi, Ni Qianer's eyes clearly flashed with uneasiness. "That is a private matter between me and Xiahou Yexiu, and has nothing to do with the relationship between the two countries."
"Private matter? Haha, according to me, you would rather say that you have a private affair, right? Of course, that is limited to your own thoughts, or expectations."
