Chapter 254 Hanging Suicide
Lin Junxue personally helped Gu Mo up
"Lady Mo, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate as soon as possible in the next few days and strive to give you and Lady Si justice as soon as possible."
Gu Mo nodded with emotion, "My Queen, please find out the truth."
Lin Junxue's eyes deepened, and she asked Danzhen to send the person out.
Zhang Yuyan frowned as she watched Gu Mo leave.
She always felt that this matter was too strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the real target of the person who poisoned her was not Noble Lady Mo, nor Noble Lady Si, but what was the reason? If we can't find out anything in five days, Noble Lady Si will be sent to the cold palace for sure."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly, and even Yuyan noticed that this was strange.
What other tricks does the person behind the scenes have yet to use?
The water in the harem is becoming more and more muddy!
That night
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue is sleeping
Qiao Xin came in and woke her up, her face looking a little heavy.
When Lin Junxue saw Qiao Xin’s expression, she knew that something bad had happened again?
"What happened?"
Qiao Xin Shen Sheng
"Your Majesty, something happened in Ning'an Palace again. Concubine Si who was imprisoned in the palace hanged herself. When the palace maids found her, she was already dead. The emperor is staying in Ning'an Palace today, and he is expected to have arrived."
Lin Junxue's eyes turned cold. Did Si Guiren hang herself?
This afternoon, she was clearly begging me to find out the truth with full hope, so how could she commit suicide in the middle of the night?
This is probably not suicide at all, but homicide.
Qian Si's death was considered suicide out of fear of punishment, and the charges were completely proven.
Lin Junxue stood up, Danzhen and Guyu came in and helped her dress.
Danzhen said as she was getting dressed, "My Lady, it's late autumn and the night is dark and the dew is heavy, you should put on your cloak."
Lin Junxue nodded, thinking about what had happened in the past two days.
Invisibly, it seemed as if there was a hand controlling everything behind the scenes.
In just a few days, two lives have been lost in the harem, but what exactly is the person behind the scenes thinking?
Ning'an Palace
When Lin Junxue arrived, Xie Yu and Chen Mi had already arrived a little earlier.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu both lived in Ning'an Palace, so they were waiting in the palace early.
Tonight, just as Xie Yu was about to go to bed with Chen Mi, Gao Cheng came to report this.
Even if Xie Yu no longer cared about the noble Qian Si, he could not ignore the fact that the concubine in the harem hanged herself.
In ancient times, suicide was a serious crime that could bring disaster to one's entire family.
Therefore, concubines would not usually choose to commit suicide, no matter how serious the crime they committed.
Because the emperor was furious, in serious cases, his family would be confiscated and his entire clan exterminated. This was definitely a big deal.
Over the years, Qian Si was the first person to hang himself in this harem.
When Xie Yu heard this, he slammed the table in anger.
If it were usual, when Lin Junxue came in, Xie Yu's attitude would not be as cold as it is now.
Tonight, Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue who came to pay her respects, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
In the past few days in the harem, first Concubine Mo was poisoned, and now another concubine committed suicide.
He is now wondering if he has overestimated Jun'er's ability as the queen to manage the harem?
After paying her respects, Lin Junxue stood up and looked at Xie Yu's cold attitude. She understood where his dissatisfaction came from.
Lin Junxue sneered in her heart. Xie Yu was still speaking sweet words to her a few days ago.
Although he had feelings for her, he could become cold towards her at any time if something she did did not satisfy him.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu saw Xie Yu's cold attitude and they were very happy.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, the joy of the two would have almost overflowed and would not have been hidden at all.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Empress, tonight, Lady Si hanged herself. She was afraid of the crime and committed suicide. If she really had a clear conscience, why would she commit suicide? You don't need to investigate this matter any further."
Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes and looked at Xie Yu's impatient expression.
She said, "Your Majesty, it is a serious crime for a concubine to commit suicide, which will bring disaster to her family. I am afraid there is something fishy about the death of Si Guiren."
Chen Mi looked at Lin Junxue and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Queen is fighting for a deceased noble lady.
Although it was irrational, she admired the queen a little.
The Queen is such a smart and rational person that she should know that at this moment, choosing to follow the Emperor's words and settle the matter would be the only way for everyone to have a happy ending.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu also looked surprised.
Is the Queen crazy? She actually openly contradicted the Emperor
There was a glimmer of satisfaction in Zheng Jin's eyes. The Emperor would definitely scold the Empress.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue standing there, his eyes slightly gloomy, very unhappy
Jun'er, is she contradicting him in public just for the sake of a dead nobleman?
This is the first time in so many years
Xie Yu was very unhappy, however, he himself had not realized one thing.
What made him unhappy was not that Lin Junxue went against his wishes, but that Lin Junxue was unhappy because of other people's attitude towards him.
The pressure in Ning'an Palace was getting lower and lower, and Xie Yu's anger was getting deeper and deeper.
Only Lin Junxue was not affected. She looked at Xie Yu with a stubborn look.
At this time, no one dared to stand up and say a word.
The emperor and the empress are fighting. Anyone who is not a fool knows that standing up at this time will only make things difficult for themselves.
for a while
Xie Yu turned his eyes away from Lin Jun.
He was holding his breath, but was reluctant to vent it on Lin Junxue.
For the first time, Xie Yu began to have concerns in his heart.
Just when Zheng Jin, Qin Shushu, and even Chen Mi thought that Xie Yu was about to scold Lin Junxue.
Xie Yu turned to look at Gao Cheng beside him, and Gao Cheng immediately understood what he meant.
"Didn't you hear what the Queen said, you little slave? Since this matter is so strange, you should investigate it for me personally. How did Lady Si die?"
Gao Cheng quickly stepped forward and responded to the call.
Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu's faces changed and looked very ugly.
How can it be?
The Queen is so disrespectful, and the Emperor hasn't reprimanded her yet?
The emperor actually asked Eunuch Gao to personally investigate what happened tonight.
This move was beyond the expectations of several people.
At this moment, Chen Mi clearly realized one thing in his heart.
The emperor's favor towards the queen is different from the favor he showed towards Shen Xier back then.
One was truly in love, the other was only in grace.
If the emperor is not really sincere to the queen? Tonight, according to the emperor's character and temper, if the queen openly disobeys, the emperor will definitely scold her or ignore her.
The emperor would never really take a step back like he did now, and ordered Gao Cheng to personally investigate the matter of Concubine Si hanging herself.
In all these years, when had she ever seen the emperor being so tolerant towards any concubine?
In the past, she thought that the emperor would never have any true love for the queen.
Now, for the first time, she doubted herself for being too arbitrary.
Next second
Lin Junxue suddenly shook her body, then slowly closed her eyes and fell down.
Xie Yu didn't think twice. Seeing Lin Junxue fall down, he strode forward and held the unconscious Lin Junxue in his arms.
roar
"Jun'er, Jun'er, what's wrong with you? Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly!"
