Putting the red box aside, Shen Qingwan glanced coldly at Qing Ling, whose face was as pale as paper, and sat leisurely on the couch. Lian Yun stood behind her and glared at her angrily. She had just wronged the queen in front of the emperor!
"Qing Ling, how do I treat you?" Her voice was as cold as ever, with a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth, "You are in my palace, yet you want to frame me."
"Her Majesty usually treats her servants well, but you are so bold as to slander her in front of the Emperor!" Lian Yun couldn't help but yell at Qing Ling before she could speak.
His already pale face turned even paler. Qing Ling tightly clenched his hands hanging at his sides and lowered his head slightly, neither begging for mercy nor explaining.
Faced with her attitude, Shen Qingwan was not in a hurry. She leaned back gently on the couch, and her cold eyes without a trace of warmth swept over her slender body. "What is your purpose? Why do you want to frame me?" Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous light. She didn't know her purpose yet, so she wouldn't punish her easily.
"Heh!" Qing Ling, who was standing below, snorted coldly. Knowing that he had been exposed, he did not intend to hide his emotions any longer. His face, which had been pale just now, had slowly recovered. The moment he raised his eyes, there was a flash of murderous intent and hatred on his face.
If it weren't for the woman in front of her, how could she have ended up like this? How could she have fallen from a life of wealth and comfort to this point!
It was all her fault, how could she forgive her!
"How dare you!" Lian Yun frowned unhappily, "You must want to die to be so presumptuous in front of the queen!"
Shen Qingwan was not too upset. She knew Qing Ling's identity was not simple, and it was difficult for her to hide for such a long time.
Qing Ling turned a deaf ear to him, and stared at her with a pair of eyes filled with hatred, as if she wanted to cut her into pieces with her eyes to vent her hatred.
"So what if I framed you?" She snorted disdainfully, "I could have taken your life, but who knew..." She laughed foolishly, with a strong sense of unwillingness.
Originally everything was under control. As long as Fu Yuheng saw the doll in the red box, he could successfully frame Shen Qingwan, and she would have no chance of survival. But who knew the result would be like this!
"I didn't expect you to be so scheming and deceive me. Otherwise, you would be worried about your life now!" She was unwilling and wished she could go up and tear her face off!
Shen Qingwan was not interested in any of this, she just wanted to know her purpose, "Who are you?"
In front of her were Fu Huaiyu and Liu Churong. She thought the traitor had been eliminated, but she didn't know that there was still someone controlling them in secret.
"Who am I? Haha! You don't even know who I am?" Qing Ling suddenly became arrogant and laughed, "You have destroyed my family. I will never let you go even if I die!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but frown, expressing her confusion about what she said.
The family is broken up
"Shen Qingwan! You will not die well!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. After Fu Huaiyu was imprisoned in the Tianlao, Fu Yuheng once told her that there were still remnants of the Liu family. Could it be...
The look he gave Qing Ling suddenly became cruel. Will the family be destroyed
Since the Liu family no longer exists, she won't give anyone another chance.
"Come here, lock Qing Ling in the yard. No one is allowed to see her without my permission!" A stern voice was heard, and the guards took the crazy Qing Ling away.
Qing Ling, who was dragged away, was still muttering to herself, cursing Shen Qingwan for a miserable death.
After a while, the palace finally returned to peace, but Shen Qingwan began to worry. Was it really just Qing Ling who was causing trouble
She held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache. She must be more careful in the future.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Lian Yun, who was standing aside, suddenly knelt in front of her, looking like he was ready to sacrifice himself.
Shen Qingwan raised her eyes tiredly, frowned, and then heard Lianyun's firm voice again.
"This is all my fault. I didn't follow your Majesty's orders to keep an eye on Qing Ling, which is why your Majesty is in danger today. Please punish me!"
As the empress's trusted maid, she did not see through all the palace maids, and allowed Qing Ling the opportunity to approach the bedroom to place the red box. She should be punished no matter what.
"Get up." Her voice was not loud, but it did carry a hint of authority that could not be resisted.
"Please punish me, Madam!"
"You don't listen to me?" There was a layer of anger in her eyes. Lianyun didn't dare to resist and stood up. Seeing that she was obedient, Shen Qingwan was relieved, "I know you are loyal, and I won't punish you."
Lianyun bit her lip in embarrassment. She would feel uneasy if she was not punished. It was unreasonable for a servant to go unpunished if he did something wrong. However, due to Shen Qingwan's majesty, she did not say anything else.
Shen Qingwan then took out an item from her sleeve, which made Lianyun open her eyes wide in disbelief, and then slowly filled with fear.
It was the doll that was supposed to be in the red box!
His cold eyes fell on the doll, on which was written the date of birth...
"Your Majesty, this..." Lian Yun was so shocked that she was speechless, not only because this unlucky thing shouldn't appear in the palace, but she was even more surprised that it was on Your Majesty.
Shen Qingwan's lips curled slightly, and she smiled slowly, "This doll was originally in the red box, and I took it out in advance."
Lianyun finally felt relieved and couldn't help but admire the Queen's wisdom, "It turns out that the Queen's panic in front of others was all pretended." She realized it later and recalled the Queen's appearance in front of the Emperor before. It seemed that the Queen wanted to lure out the person behind the scenes.
She could see from Lianyun's eyes that she understood, and she smiled knowingly at her.
"I have always noticed Qing Ling's abnormal behavior. Since they want to put on a show today, I will go with the flow." She guessed that Qing Ling would take some action, so she gave her enough time to create the opportunity.
"It turns out that everything is under the control of the queen." Lianyun admired her queen even more.
"I originally wanted to see if she had the intention to repent. If she..." If she could come to her senses at the last moment, she could have been given a lighter sentence, but the opportunity was given to her and she did not cherish it.
Shen Qingwan didn't say anything else. Lianyun understood in her heart, but she still asked curiously, "When did the queen take it out?"
She raised her eyebrows, "Just now."
She had been in the study, so that Qing Ling would think that she had not noticed the red box in the bedroom, but before they reached her yard, she went back to the house and took out the doll.
She didn't explain further, "Take this doll and burn it. Remember to be cautious and don't make it public."
She looked serious and solemn, and Lianyun nodded seriously as well.
"I understand." He took the puppet from her hand. This puppet needs to be destroyed as soon as possible!
