Chapter 423 The Reason
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Empress Dowager, it's not that you look down on me, it's that you and Nanny Wu have never looked down on me. You thought that when the late emperor was alive, he doted on you and protected you, and you were so high and mighty. But now that you are the Empress Dowager, you look down on me and think that as long as you and Nanny Wu make a move, you can destroy me forever. Now, I want to ask you, how do you feel at this moment?"
The bright smile in Lin Junxue's eyes did not need to be concealed.
Lin Junxue's nonchalant smile made the empress dowager so angry that her hands were shaking.
Nanny Wu quickly stood up, patted the empress dowager on the back to calm her down, and glared at Lin Junxue.
"Queen, how dare you speak to the Queen Mother like that?"
Lin Junxue glanced at Aunt Wu casually.
How come people’s intelligence suddenly decreases when they are about to die?
Things have come to this point, what else is there for her to dare to do?
Lin Junxue stood up, expressionless, and spoke in an indifferent voice.
"Queen Dowager, instead of being angry with me, you should take a good look at Nanny Wu and Wang Chu. I have been ordered to stay here and wait to deal with this matter. I am very tired today and do not have much patience. Queen Dowager, please make your choice quickly. I will also go back to explain it."
"I advise you to choose Nanny Wu to live, considering our friendship for many years. Wang Chu is loyal to you. He was willing to convict himself just now for you. It is better to give up Wang Chu so that I can go back and explain to the emperor."
After Lin Junxue finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she paused.
"I am outside, waiting for your choice, Queen Mother. Whoever comes out with you will live."
After Lin Junxue left, as the door was closed
indoor
The Queen Mother, Nanny Wu, and Wang Chu looked at each other.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "Bitch!"
Even if you curse a thousand times or ten thousand times, it cannot change the outcome of today.
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Wu with an unclear expression.
Wang Chu knelt there, raised his eyes, looked at the Queen Mother pitifully, but remained silent.
Just that face made the Queen Mother completely dazed for a moment.
Outside
Lin Junxue stood under the tree, and Danzhen stood beside her, holding an umbrella.
She turned around to look at the quiet hall, still a little worried, and whispered.
"My Lady, what do you think the Queen Mother will choose? Who will she let live, Nanny Wu or Wang Chu?"
The cold wind was mixed with a chilly smell. It blew gently, leaving no trace or sound, and the corners of my clothes were blown up.
Lin Junxue smiled sweetly, with a look that showed everything was under control.
half an hour later
The door was finally opened
Danzhen looked over nervously
Today, who will be able to come out alive with the Queen Mother?
Next second
The Queen Mother staggered out with red eyes, step by step, trembling.
The person next to the Queen Mother is Wang Chu
The Queen Mother made her choice
And Lin Junxue had not made any mistakes from the moment she made the plan.
The Queen Mother chose Wang Chu to live between Nanny Wu and Wang Chu, and gave up Nanny Wu who had been with her for many years.
Lin Junxue stepped forward
The Queen Mother stared at her with an expression that she would not give up until she died.
Lin Junxue is calm and composed
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes went dark and she fainted.
Wang Chu supported the Queen Mother and glanced at Lin Junxue. This time, he won the bet.
The queen said that if he dared to bet this time, he would win.
Because of the selfishness and coldness of the Queen Mother
Even though Nanny Wu had been with her for many years and had planned so much for her.
But none of them could resist the Queen Mother's desire and longing for the young man.
A man who would abandon his loyal slave for many years just to look like his former lover
Just now, the Queen Mother's tears and pleas were a complete joke.
And from today on, once Nanny Wu died, he would be the most favored and trusted person around the Queen Mother, and no one could replace his position.
And he swore that he would personally push the Queen Mother into the endless hell.
Wang Chu pretended to be panicked, called someone in, and took the queen mother away.
After everyone left, Gao Cheng came in, holding a white silk and poisoned wine.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Danzhen steps forward
"Eunuch Gao, let me come."
Lin Junxue said, "Eunuch Gao, please wait here. I will take Danzhen with me to see Madam Wu off for the last time."
Gao Cheng agreed and stepped out of the door. Lin Junxue and Dan Zhen walked into the hall.
Close the door
Nanny Wu sat in a chair, her face ashen and her heart disheartened.
The moment the Queen Mother chose to take Wang Chu out, her fate was sealed.
Aunt Wu raised her eyes
"Queen, today, this game, I just figured it out now. From the beginning to the end, you were the one who really planned it. When did you know about the plan of the Queen Mother and me? How did you calculate Wang Chu and I to this point? The winner and the loser are already determined, Queen, why don't you tell me, so that I can know where I lost? Die with a clear mind."
Lin Junxue sat down and looked at Aunt Wu.
She has been smart for half her life. Without her assistance, even if the empress dowager had the favor of the late emperor, she would not be able to survive in this cannibalistic harem. In the end, she would become the biggest winner.
"Madame Wu, you are so smart, why don't you guess?"
Aunt Wu was thoughtful
"Empress, today, you didn't faint in Shu Wanrong's palace, right? You deliberately confused me and Wang Chu, but I gave Shu Wanrong the incense, and I lit it myself. The incense was clearly lit, and as long as she inhaled it a little, she would definitely faint. Why didn't you fall for it? This doesn't make sense. No matter how hard I think about it, I can't figure out what went wrong."
Lin Junxue smiled slightly
Recalling that day under the ancient tree in the Royal Temple, when Qin Shushu fell down and Danzhen stepped forward to support her, Shu Wanrong had already taken the opportunity to give Danzhen the antidote for the incense.
So, it was true that she entered Shu Wanrong's room today, and it was also true that she inhaled the aphrodisiac.
But she had already taken the antidote, and Dan Zhen had also tested the antidote and found no problems.
What Nanny Wu thought was foolproof was just what she thought.
Nanny Wu looked at Lin Junxue and smiled without saying a word, her eyes wide open.
"You, it's Shu Wanrong. It was Shu Wanrong who betrayed the Queen Mother from the beginning. It was her who deliberately approached the Queen Mother, right?"
Lin Junxue nodded and spoke softly.
"That's true. Shu Wanrong had intended to get close to the Queen Mother from the beginning. The antidote to the love incense was given to me by Shu Wanrong in advance. So, I was not poisoned by the love incense at all. My fainting was just a trick to make you relax your vigilance. Otherwise, why would you and Wang Chu take me to the side hall and plot against me with the love incense?"
Looking at Nanny Wu's shocked expression, Lin Junxue continued to smile.
"You are wondering how I bribed Shu Wanrong to get close to the Queen Mother? You can't figure it out. After all, I and Shu Wanrong were incompatible before, and we have no intersection in the harem. Why would she help me?"
Aunt Wu didn't know what she was thinking of. She couldn't believe it.
"So, it was you, Queen, who was responsible for Shu Wanrong sleeping in the side hall of the Plum Garden?"
