Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 253 Death by Poisoning

Sun Manrou's just one sentence directly convicted Qian Si, as if she had determined that she was the murderer.

Chen Mi said, "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet. It's too early for the Concubine Chen to speak."

Sun Manrou's face froze. Recently, Chen Mi's attitude towards her had become increasingly bad, and he did not care at all about the future marriage between the two families.

Sun Manrou felt very aggrieved and could only look at the emperor angrily.

She wanted Xie Yu to make the decision for her, but Xie Yu didn't even look at her.

Sun Manrou is embarrassed

"Sister Mi Fei, I didn't mean that, but the maidservants who served this noble lady have confessed, so what else is there to interrogate?"

Lin Junxue glanced at Xie Yu, then turned to look at Qiao Xin, who immediately served the tea she had prepared.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has prepared a refreshing tea for you."

Xie Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, felt better, and looked at Lin Junxue with satisfaction.

Lin Junxue smiled faintly.

Xie Yu didn't care about the harem at all. He only knew who the murderer was and wanted to deal with him as soon as possible.

Zhang Yuyan said softly, "Noble Lady Si, you don't have to get too excited. Calm down first. If you are really wronged, the Emperor and the Empress are here and will definitely make the decision for you."

When Qian Si heard this, he looked at Zhang Yuyan with gratitude and finally calmed down.

After a while, Xiao Xiazi walked in in a panic and knelt on the ground. Behind him, there was no palace maid Xiao Cui who was supposed to be brought in for trial.

Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Everyone looked at Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xiazi said, "Your Majesty, Queen, Xiao Cui swallowed the poison that had been prepared long ago in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When I took people to pick her up, Xiao Cui had already died of the poison."

Lin Junxue's eyes darkened. The worst result would be that something happened to Xiao Cui.

Now there is no evidence, the person behind the scene was quick and ruthless enough

Xiao Cui is dead, and Qian Si can't defend himself even if he says a thousand things. The current situation is really bad.

Chen Mi and his companions did not expect that the person would die like this, so there was no need for confrontation at all.

Once Xiao Cui dies, Si Guiren’s crime of poisoning will certainly be proven.

Xiao Cui committed suicide by taking poison. Gu Mo didn't believe it was Qian Sidong's doing at first, but now he believes it a little bit. Otherwise, how could Xiao Cui die like this?

Gu Mo was trembling, and couldn't help but stand up and pointed at Qian Si angrily.

"Now, what else do you have to say? Xiao Cui, who confessed, is already dead. There is no one to confront you now."

Sun Manrou continued to be sarcastic

"Now that everyone is dead, what else is there to interrogate? Your Majesty, I think it was this Concubine Si who had a quarrel with Concubine Mo, and she felt resentment, so she poisoned him. There are witnesses and material evidence. Concubine Si, I think you should confess."

Qian Si shook his head frantically and sat on the ground, feeling extremely helpless.

She really didn't do anything.

Why would Xiao Cui rather die than frame her? It wasn't her who did it.

Xie Yu looked coldly at Qian Si, who was kneeling on the ground with a horrified expression. His eyes were cold and the anger in them was obvious.

"Dead? He died in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Come here, since there is no proof of this matter, I will miss you."

At this time, Lin Junxue said softly, "Your Majesty"

Xie Yu paused, turned his head and looked at Lin Junxue. When he saw her gentle eyes, his anger instantly dissipated.

"Queen, what do you think about this?"

If it were in the past, Xie Yu would have given the order directly without even asking for Lin Junxue's opinion.

When Sun Manrou saw this scene, she tugged at the handkerchief in her hand, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Now, the emperor really values ​​the queen. He didn't get angry even when he was interrupted. He even took the initiative to ask the queen what she thought.

Zhang Yuyan was very happy. The more the emperor valued the queen, the better.

Lin Junxue stood up, took a step forward and looked at Qian Si. This time, she was careless.

She had already told Xiao Cheng to be careful in watching over Cui'er, but she didn't expect that little Cui had already hidden the poison.

When the matter came to this point, Cui'er committed suicide by taking poison, leaving no evidence.

Now, Qian Si is a complete scapegoat.

Qian Si looked at Lin Junxue with hope, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I will not admit anything I have not done, even if I die."

Lin Junxue turned and looked at Xie Yu

"Your Majesty, Cui Er has already committed suicide by taking poison, so there is no way to investigate. Although she has testified against Concubine Si, Concubine Si is a concubine in the harem after all, and she is not someone that a palace maid can arbitrarily convict. Please give me a few more days. If you cannot find out anything, then Your Majesty can punish Concubine Si. Is that okay?"

Xie Yu didn't want to care about these harem affairs. He paused and nodded.

"Just listen to the Queen. If there is no other evidence in five days, Qian Si will be banished to the cold palace. There is no need to inform me. Well, I still have political affairs to deal with. Here, Queen, please take care of it."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly

"I respectfully send you to the Emperor"

Sun Manrou, Chen Mi and others stood up and respectfully sent Xie Yu

After Xie Yu left, several people looked at Qian Si, who was kneeling on the ground and looked desperate.

Lin Junxue said softly, "Xiao Cheng, go take Concubine Si back to Ning'an Palace and lock her up. Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, Concubine Si is not allowed to leave the palace."

Qian Si's eyes turned red, he kowtowed heavily and gritted his teeth.

"My Queen, I beg you to find out the truth."

After saying that, she stood up tremblingly and looked at Gu Mo again.

"Sister Mo, whether you believe it or not, I really didn't poison you. If I did, I'll be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Then Xiao Cheng stepped forward and took Qian Si away. Sun Manrou left too after seeing that there was no more fun.

Chen Mi comforted Gu Mo for a few words, and then left.

Zhang Yuyan didn't leave

Lin Junxue looked at Gu Mo

"Lady Mo, I know you were poisoned, and I'm eager to find the murderer to avenge myself, but do you really think it was Lady Si who poisoned you?"

Gu Mo slowly raised her head, and after a while, she shook her head. Her mind was confused, and she didn't know whether she should believe Qian Si.

She said, "Empress, I don't know if it was Noble Lady Si who harmed me. I don't want to believe it was her, but who in this harem is worthy of real trust? I don't know, I really don't know, but I don't want to believe it was Noble Lady Si who harmed me."

Gu Mo shed tears and laughed at himself

"Empress, even if I save my face, I will no longer have the emperor's favor in the future. You have seen the emperor's attitude just now. I have no hope in this life. I only hope that if there is really someone behind the scenes who poisoned me and framed Noble Lady Si, that person is the truly vicious person. Please, Empress, make sure to find out the truth, give me justice, and clear Noble Lady Si's name."

Lin Junxue saw that Gu Mo was not carried away by the show. This was how a lady from a noble family should be trained. None of those who could be sent to the palace were stupid.

If Gu Mo insisted that it was Qian Si who did it, and let her deal with Qian Si regardless of the consequences, that would be unreasonable.
