Chapter 396

The queen was slightly stunned. She immediately got up and helped Yan Shuzi up herself. She was in the ascendant and couldn't afford to offend. She also expected to stand on her side against the imperial concubine. One more friend is better than one more enemy. It's also good to take this opportunity to reach an alliance.

Even if Yan Shuzi didn't mention it, she would pursue it to the end.

"Sister Shufei, what are you doing? Get up quickly. As the leader of the harem, the palace will certainly get justice for the dead." the palace looks righteous, but actually full of selfishness.

"Empress, Xiaojing has taken care of her concubine since she entered the palace. My concubine has long treated her as a sister. She can't let her die in vain. If she doesn't get justice for her, my concubine will be unable to sleep at night." Yan Shuzi choked, making everyone deeply feel the deep love of her master and servant and the heart of the Bodhisattva.

The queen patted Yan Shuzi's hand and said firmly, "don't worry, sister Shufei, this palace will find out and give you an explanation."

"Empress Xie, no wonder the emperor often says that you are a fair man. He is very relieved to leave the harem to you." Yan Shuzi's words made people half believe and half doubt. However, the empress of the party was happy and happy.

"You seem to be fishing for Xiaojing, but you can find any other clues." the queen said, just do it, and immediately began to investigate.

Yan Shuzi was very satisfied with the Queen's performance. She glanced at the imperial concubine inadvertently, and an inexplicable radian appeared in the corner of her mouth.

The imperial concubine just looked at Yan Shuzi's side. Their eyes were opposite and aroused an inexplicable spark in the air.

Yan Xiaoxi noticed the secret war between them. There seems to be something she doesn't know?

This matter is not as simple as it seems. It has something to do with the struggle in the harem. No, more accurately, some people don't know the greatness of heaven and earth and can't calm down. They have to attack others so soon and haven't occupied their own field. It's like invading other people's territory. At last, the gains will outweigh the losses.

"Tell the empress, I found this in the maid's hand." the bodyguard presented the obtained jewelry.

The queen picked up the earrings. She always felt familiar. It seemed that she had seen them somewhere. She searched her brain carefully for today's memory, but she still found nothing.

Which concubine did it belong to? Her intuition told her that the palace maid was a victim. Which concubine must be involved behind her. Of course, the queen wanted to be involved most was the imperial concubine, who wanted to get rid of her.

Maybe God heard the Queen's voice. At this time, Yan Shuzi pointed to the earrings and shouted in surprise, "isn't this earring yours, imperial concubine?"

In a word, the imperial concubine was placed on the list of suspects.

Everyone looked at her one after another. The meanings in her eyes were different. Everyone knew the means of the imperial concubine. She didn't seem to be the one who killed people and left evidence. Even so, a maid in waiting could not let the imperial concubine die. Behind her was the whole Youxiang family.

"Yes, I remember. This pair of earrings belongs to the imperial concubine. They belong to the imperial palace." the queen stopped them in time without saying anything.

This pair of earrings was her first gift to the imperial concubine. Unexpectedly, she was still wearing them.

They often meet, quarrel every time, and never look at each other. Such details have long been ignored.

The imperial concubine looked at Yan Shuzi calmly, and then her eyes stayed on the queen. She knew it was a game. Someone deliberately framed her. It didn't look like the queen did it, but she wanted to get rid of her with the help of this thing. Yan Shuzi was the murderer behind the scenes.

She met this maid yesterday, and they had a quarrel, which many people saw.

At that time, I didn't think so. Now I think it's wrong. Many things are too coincidental and let her fall into this pit step by step.

"Yes, this earring is mine." the imperial concubine simply and decisively admitted that she knew that no matter how to deny it, it was useless. Many people had seen her wear earrings, and the emperor had seen them. Even denying them would be useless. It would only add to the snake and kill one stone with one stone.

"What does the imperial concubine want to say?" the queen didn't say a word to convict the imperial concubine.

"My earrings were lost yesterday. Maybe they were picked up by the palace maid." the imperial concubine explained.

"What a coincidence?"

"It's such a coincidence."

"Does the imperial concubine think anyone will believe your words?" the queen asked.

"The queen thinks I killed the maid?" the imperial concubine is also unwilling to show weakness.

"This palace didn't say that."

"That's what the queen means."

“．。”

They quarreled endlessly. The concubines looked at each other, and none of them dared to persuade.

"If the queen wants to punish her concubines, she can show evidence to convince her." the imperial concubine felt that she had not done it. Don't be afraid. Yan Shuzi's little trick is not enough for her.

"OK." the imperial concubine was more reasonable and strong. The more the queen felt that there was a ghost, she must have done it.

"Empress, my concubine has something to say." of course, Yan Shuzi will not miss this millennium rare opportunity.

The queen waved her hand that she could speak.

Yan Shuzi understood and worshipped Yingying. She pointed the spear at the imperial concubine and said: "My concubine once offended the imperial concubine. Yesterday, I sent Xiaojing to ask her to make amends. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine not only didn't appreciate her face, but also slandered my concubine. Not only that, she liked the hairpin on Xiaojing's head, which was handed down by their ancestors. Xiaojing said nothing. Unexpectedly, she died in the lake today. You said it was strange. You've been good and offended me The imperial concubine has no life after that. "

She deliberately said her doubts, but actually implied that the imperial concubine was the murderer.

No one dares to answer for fear of causing trouble.

"Princess Shu means that the imperial concubine killed for a hairpin?" the person who said this was Yan Xiaoxi. Only when she made a voice did she make the concubine realize that there was such a person.

"My concubine doesn't know." of course, Yan Shuzi won't be foolish enough to identify the imperial concubine in person. With the queen, she won't escape easily.

"Is what the imperial concubine said true?" the queen looked at the imperial concubine and asked her to verify the authenticity of the matter.

"When my concubine passed by the imperial garden, I saw a physical conflict between the imperial concubine and Xiaojing." a concubine who was not afraid of death hesitated and said that this man must be from the Queen's side, and he was smart to assist.

"I have indeed seen Xiaojing in the palace. I like the hairpin very much." the imperial concubine continued to admit decisively.

"Ask the queen to do justice for Xiaojing." Yan Shuzi knelt down again.

The queen made a embarrassed expression and said with regret, "sister, how can you be so confused and careless about human life."

"Careless about human life?" the imperial concubine jokingly smiled with disdain on her face.

"You are still stubborn, which really chills our palace." the queen covered her chest and pretended to be very similar.

"What the queen said is speculation. Do you have any evidence to prove that Xiaojing was killed by his concubine?" the imperial concubine asked orderly.
