The queen mother also knew that if she punished the palace maid, it would be really bad for Ji Yueqin, so she had to give up. She sat in the upper seat with an unhappy face, and said to the queen, "Then just follow the queen's words."
The queen won but did not show a proud look, after all, the real good show is yet to come.
Ji Yueqin's eyes were full of disdainful smiles, but she didn't take this matter to heart, "It turns out that a mere word of a court lady could convict me. How come I don't know anything about what she said? Or, how do you know if she stained the blood after I left?"
Ji Yueqin's words were not leaked, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but drink a lot of praise for Ji Yueqin in her heart.
The queen didn't have any other reaction, she just sneered and looked at Ji Yueqin in front of her. Now that her face has been torn apart, she doesn't plan to act like a good aunt anymore.
I saw that at this moment, a small eunuch suddenly broke into, and said in a panic: "The queen mother, the queen mother, the assassin knocked out the Miss Chu family and ran out of the Qianxi Palace!"
The smile in the queen's eyes couldn't be hidden, Ji Yueqin, now there is one more witness, I see how you can get out.
"Assassin? In the Qianxi Palace!?" The Queen Mother was furious. How could this assassin be so blatant, and in broad daylight, he committed murder and hurt people
"Don't hurry to chase!" The queen also made a look of anger and ordered.
It's not that there are no assassins, but the queen sent someone to pretend to be. After being caught by the forbidden army, they will be interrogated strictly, and then they will know that the real mastermind is Ji Yueqin.
The queen felt that her plan was flawless, not even a chance to turn over for Ji Yueqin, and finally she had to pretend to be a kind and virtuous good aunt in front of the emperor, begging the emperor to keep Ji Yueqin's life.
"What else do you have to say?" The Empress looked at Ji Yueqin in front of her and said coldly, "It is because this Palace and the Empress Dowager are too pampered towards you that you are now lawless! What's the point of treating you badly, even arranging assassins to enter the palace, and framed by your own aunt!"
The queen paused and said in a hoarse voice: "When Ben Gong was young, he did have some unpleasant things with your mother. But after all, Ben Gong and elder sister are half-sisters, so what's the overnight feud? "
Ji Yueqin sneered in the bottom of her heart, no overnight hatred? I'm afraid you want to celebrate three days on the day your mother died? If there was no overnight feud, how could he quietly force the main family away and let the branch family sit in the position of the Duan family's sect family. Let's not talk about this, I'm afraid there are countless things you have done to your mother in the past.
The queen looks like an aunt who loves her, but in fact her heart is more vicious than anyone else. I finally came to Dayu from Daliang alive, and within a few days, I tried every means to make myself go to a dead end. She is really a good aunt.
"Don't you think it's a little ridiculous to say this? The Assassin came out of the Ganxi Palace, and An Ning is the assassin's accomplice? The Empress Dowager also lives in the Ganxi Palace, doesn't it mean that even the Empress Dowager is also with the Assassin? Does it matter?" Ji Yueqin said loudly, still maintaining her usual smile.
The queen gave the eunuch a wink, and the eunuch agreed and said, "The assassin ran out of the house of the Anning County Lord and knocked Miss Chu out of the palace."
"Miss Chu? Which Miss Chu, Qingtang is doing well here." The Queen Mother frowned and pulled Chu Qingtang aside and said.
Chu Qingtang held the Empress Dowager's hand and said warmly, "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, Qingtang entered the palace together with her concubine sister today, but Qingtang's concubine sister said that she had never been to the palace and wanted to walk around, and Qingtang was concerned about the county again. Lord, don't stop her. Qingtang pleads guilty to the empress dowager on behalf of the concubine."
The more the queen mother looked, the more she liked the child Chu Qingtang, who was so well-behaved and decent, and didn't mean to blame her, "Aiya, how could Aijia blame you? But isn't your concubine just walking around, so what? Will it be found in Qianxi Palace?"
"Qingtang also thinks this matter is quite strange, it's like someone wants to frame the county master." Chu Qingtang thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was also full of doubts.
The Empress glanced at Chu Qingtang, although she felt that Chu Qingtang's scheming and methods were not as good as Chu Xiangyue's, but the degree of obstruction was no less than that of Ji Yueqin.
"Maybe it was Miss Chu who came to see Second Miss Chu." The Queen casually found a reason to prevaricate, "Now that the assassin came out of Yueqin's room, what else do you have to say?"
"If you want to add guilt, there is no excuse."
"Since there is nothing to say." The Queen smiled coldly, "Let's take people to the Heavenly Prison and lock them up first."
When the queen mother saw that the guards under the queen were going to arrest Ji Yueqin, she immediately stopped and said, "Wait! The assassins haven't been caught yet, how can they catch people when they say they are?"
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you still want to cover up Ji Yueqin, the Empress Dowager? It's not that the concubine's heart is not painful, but if you do something wrong, you will be punished." Even more want to laugh.
"Now the master can be convicted just by the words of the slaves. Wouldn't that mean chaos in the harem? As the queen, how could you not know this truth?" The queen mother frowned and looked at the queen.
"Thank you for the suggestion from the Empress Dowager. The concubine forgot this point. If we are so dependent on us, let's put this matter on hold for the time being. After we catch the thief, we will deal with the Princess Anning." The queen looked noncommittal. Can't say what's wrong with her.
The queen didn't think it would be of any use for the queen mother to help Ji Yueqin in her dying struggle. Anyway, in the end, Ji Yueqin would always be dealt with, and she was not too worried about anything.
Anyway, in a short time, the assassin you arranged will be pressed into the Qianxi Palace. When the time comes, Ji Yueqin will be identified. According to the Queen's order, the so-called "assassin" will take poison and commit suicide. Ji Yueqin will then commit suicide. Jumping into the Yellow River is also incapable of washing.
Even if there is an emperor and an empress dowager behind her, even if she has a thousand mouths on her body, she can't stand the pressure of the ministers. If she wants to fight with Ben Gong, I'm afraid she still has to figure out how much she has. Let's talk about it first. However, this palace will not give a chance, the queen is so proud of herself, if she hadn't watched the queen mother sitting here, she would have laughed out loud.
Ji Yueqin didn't speak anymore, and the queen mother was sweating for her. Chu Qingtang looked at the queen's "conclusive evidence" and was worried for Ji Yueqin. However, seeing Ji Yueqin's calm appearance, Chu Qingtang felt a little relieved.
The hall of Qianxi Palace became quiet, only the light and shallow breathing of everyone in the hall remained. They were waiting. The queen was waiting for Ji Yueqin's death, and Ji Yueqin was waiting for that person's reinforcements, the queen mother. Wait, it's the emperor.
Everyone's thoughts are different, and time is passing by like a white horse.
