Yuegui also raised her head in shock, and quickly knelt down and opened her mouth to speak.
"Don't speak in a hurry." Si Ningchi said calmly: "I can't listen to nonsense, be careful with your tongue."
"..." Yue Gui's words were stuck in her throat.
"You are the only ones who can get close to me." Si Ningchi said slowly: "On the day of the Double Ninth Palace Banquet, you and Suyun were waiting for me. Su Yongde stood far away from me.
”
"Tell me, which hand did you use to pull me away from the emperor?" Si Ningchi turned his head and looked at Yuegui with a smile on his face and said.
"Slave, are you there?" Yue Gui's voice was slightly trembling. She knelt on the ground and looked at Si Ningchi and said hurriedly: "Slave, I'm protecting the empress with Sister Suyun. There's nothing..."<
/p>
"Your Majesty, I didn't do this on purpose. It was just a reaction out of fear due to the situation at that time. I was just worried that your Majesty would be injured because of this. It was not intentional." Yue Gui said quickly.
She turned to look at Suyun and said: "Sister Suyun, sister Suyun is also protecting the empress with the slaves."
Si Ningchi curled his lips and nodded slowly at Yue Gui's sincere emotion: "The situation was chaotic and urgent at that time. I didn't know that you reacted so quickly."
"Then..." Si Ningchi changed his words and said: "Then why when Mei Zhi assassinated me, you were not able to protect the Lord in the face of danger. This time, you were like a prophet, and you pulled her as soon as Concubine Rong got close.
Leaving this palace?"
"Is it possible that you knew Concubine Rong wanted to assassinate her?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.
"My maid, my maid was really in a hurry and didn't think deeply about it!" Yue Gui's face gradually became flustered. Looking at Si Ningchi's smile, her heart trembled, and her whole body started to tremble uncontrollably.
"Then why don't I help you think deeply about it?" Si Ningchi put down the hairpin in his hand, stood up and walked over, standing in front of Yue Gui and said: "Which hand stretched out first?"
Yue Gui knelt on the ground in fear and did not dare to raise her head. Si Ningchi stretched out his white and tender fingers and swung them from side to side, as if choosing something fun. Finally, he pointed at Yue Gui's right hand and said, "Just this one." Si Ningchi smiled softly and said, "Just chop it off."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I don't have any slaves!" Yue Gui's frightened face instantly faded. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Si Ningchi and said: "My Majesty! This slave is unjust! I really didn't pull your Majesty away from the Emperor on purpose. Your Majesty
!"
"Really?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows, reached out and threw the incense burner on the table in front of Yue Gui and said: "Only the Concubine Xian in the palace likes the incense of orchids the most. Please tell me why you also have it on your body.
This fragrance?"
"Tell me again why you got the box of jewels in your house. I don't remember you being given such a treasure as Yu Ruyi."
"Where were you at midnight on the fifth day of September?"
Si Ningchi sat down on the chair, raised his chin slightly, looked at Yuegui with a smile in his eyes and said: "Come, talk to me carefully, I may be happy and consider giving you a tongue.
”
The questions she asked made Yue Gui's face turn pale, and her heart sank. She was so full of panic that she didn't even understand what she had done wrong, to ask the Queen to be so precise.
I found out so many things.
Yue Gui raised her eyes tremblingly, and met the Queen's smiling eyes. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she could no longer utter a single excuse.
Yue Gui's reaction could explain everything. Su Yun covered her mouth with eyes filled with disbelief. Although Yue Gui did not come from the Marquis' Mansion, she had followed the Empress since she entered the palace, and they were even more harmonious with her as sisters.
, she never imagined that Yue Gui was the one who betrayed the Lord!
Si Ningchi blinked with a smile, looked at Yue Gui and said, "What benefits did Concubine Xian promise you?"
"Queen, I'm sorry for you..." Yue Gui raised her head and looked at Si Ningchi. Suddenly she raised her hand and stuffed something into her mouth. The next second she foamed at the mouth, rolled her eyes and fell straight to Si Ning.
In front of the pool.
The glance towards Si Ningchi seemed to be liberating himself.
I would rather die like this than fall into the hands of Si Ningchi and suffer all kinds of torture.
Si Ningchi: "..."
How come she doesn’t follow martial ethics and carries poison with her!?
Suyun panicked and quickly stood in front of Si Ningchi, looking at the fallen Yuegui with a very nervous expression: "Mother, this..."
"What on earth is going on?" Suyun was really caught off guard.
"It's just a chess piece." Si Ningchi was not interested. In fact, she didn't expect to be able to ask anything from Yue Gui's mouth. It was enough to find out that Yue Gui was an spy planted by Concubine Xian.
That quiet, elegant and virtuous concubine who is unconcerned with the world~
Si Ningchi curled his lips and squinted his eyes, as if he had found some rare pleasure. He couldn't wait to tear off the mask of Concubine Xian and see what this Concubine Xian looked like.
Concubine Rong kills the king, what role does Concubine Xian play here?
Earlier, I only looked at the surface and thought that Concubine De and Concubine Rong were colluding with each other, but it turned out that Concubine Xian, who seemed to be out of touch, never left the situation.
Yue Gui's death shocked everyone inside and outside Fengwu Palace. When they asked for the reason, they learned that Yue Gui betrayed his master, but could not find out the details. They only heard that the evidence was conclusive and that he committed suicide because he could not bear the Queen's accountability. This shocked everyone even more.
Eclipsed.
No one expected that Yue Gui would do such a thing, nor did they expect that the Queen would notice it with just the slightest hint.
"Keep your eyes open!" Su Yongde looked at the people in the palace and said coldly: "It's really unlucky to have such a thing in Fengwu Palace! Don't eat the food from this place and think about the bowls from other places. It's so dirty.
Things are what they will end up with!"
"The Queen's eyes are as sharp as a torch, but she can see everything clearly." Su Yongde looked around at the crowd and said, "Don't blame us for not reminding you, be careful with your lives."
The people in the lower palace bowed their heads and responded, looking particularly obedient.
There was not much movement in Fengwu Palace, at least it did not cause much trouble, but it finally attracted the emperor.
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng, who had not been here for a few days, and the first thing he asked when he entered Fengwu Palace was: "Is there anything to eat?"
Is this the emperor?
This is a pig, right? This is...
Just after lunch, she came to look for something to eat. Si Ningchi pointed with her finger, and there was half a bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls left on the table that she had not finished.
Zhao Zongheng sat down, picked up the bowl and lowered his head to eat very naturally. Suyun next to him stopped talking for a long time and silently swallowed what he was about to say. In fact, we are just saying that there is still something in the pot.
