Chapter 70 Crimson Rouge
Lin Qingyue originally wanted to delay time and witness Wu's autopsy, but the queen did not intend to let her do so.

"This matter will be thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple. If this matter is really irrelevant to Miss Lin, I will return your innocence.

The queen looked at the Imperial Forest Army behind Lin Qingyue, her eyes darkened slightly and she said, "Take Miss Lin to the inner prison, and no one will visit without my palace order!"

The queen's order has been issued, and Lin Qingyue knows that if she resists again, the queen can directly punish her in the name of resisting the order.

The sound of heavy footsteps behind her gradually approached her, Lin Qingyue suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the queen with a smile.

"The queen empress is honored to the whole world. Qingyue believes that the empress will be able to find out the truth and restore Qingyue's innocence. Qingyue is in the inner prison, waiting for good news from the empress empress."

When the words fell to the ground, Lin Qingyue turned her eyes to the two imperial guards standing behind her and said, "I'll go by myself, and you two will lead the way."

Seeing that the queen did not object, the two imperial guards walked in front of Lin Qingyue and led them towards the door.

When Lin Qingyue followed the two imperial guards to the door, she stood still suddenly, and turned to look at the queen who had been watching her quietly.

The queen didn't expect Lin Qingyue to turn her head suddenly, and she was startled by the sudden sight of Lin Qingyue.

Seeing the panicked expression on the queen's face, Lin Qingyue's mouth curled up into a smile after she had succeeded in a trick.

"I have to trouble the Empress Empress with something. Qingyue's maid, Xiaotao, needs to ask her to take care of her more. The minister and Xiaotao are sisters. If something happens to Xiaotao, the minister does not want to live in the world."

The empress looked down, and looked at Lin Qingyue with a chill that sent chills down the spine.

"Are you threatening me?"

Lin Qingyue smiled cutely, and said softly: "My daughter dare not, if the empress is unwilling, she can also send Xiaotao out of the palace. Xiaotao grew up with my daughters since she was a child, if the empress has anything to convey on her behalf , Xiaotao would be a good candidate."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Qingyue stepped across the threshold, leaving only a straight back.

The queen looked at Lin Qingyue's figure who disappeared outside the door with a gloomy expression.

After a long while, the empress gave an order: "Pass down the order of the palace to call the minister of Dali Temple into the palace to investigate the case, and let the scorpion in the palace come over and do the autopsy first."

A series of orders were issued, and the number of people standing in the courtyard was reduced by more than half in an instant.

The queen took a deep look at the female corpse that was placed on the ground, and left the palace surrounded by everyone.

Before evening, the news that the Lin family's prostitute brutally murdered the maid who was close to Concubine Xi had already spread in the palace.

There was only one wall away, and rumors spread everywhere, but the palace where Concubine Xi lived was deserted.

A court lady knocked lightly on the door of Concubine Xi's bedroom twice, pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Concubine Xi sitting in front of the window looking at the moon, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and closed the window.

"Autumn is coming soon. It's cool at night. Concubine, you are just getting better. You can't catch cold anymore."

Concubine Xi kept looking at the moon for a long time before looking away, as if the moon was not hanging in the sky but in her heart.

The maid helped Dowager Xi to sit on the couch, and brought warm water to wash her feet.

After a brief silence, Concubine Xi suddenly said, "I heard that Biqing was found?"

The movements of the maid's hands stopped, she bowed her head and remained silent for a long while before she said: "I found it, I heard that it was found in Qinfang Palace, it was disemboweled, and all internal organs disappeared." The maid paused for a while, Then he said: "When Biqing's body was discovered, the daughter of the Lin family was also there. The Empress ordered people to take her into the inner prison, and said that she would release her after the truth was found out."

Concubine Xi was silent for a long while, then shook her head helplessly, and sighed deeply.

Concubine Xi said regretfully: "That doll of the Lin family is really pitiful, she must be terribly afraid to stay in a place like the inner prison as a little girl."

The maid looked puzzled, looked at Dowager Xi and asked, "Why does Dowager Xi sympathize with the murderer who killed Biqing? The dowager thinks that Biqing was not killed by that girl from the Lin family?"

Concubine Xi nodded slowly and said: "You and Biqing have been by my side for many years. I was not favored when the late emperor was around. After the late emperor left, although I got the title of 'twilight concubine', there was nothing left. That’s all, you and Biqing are responsible for all the dirty and tiring work in the palace. That girl from the Lin family must be pampered in the Lin Mansion. How could she, a boudoir lady, kill a girl like Biqing who has been doing rough work all year round? And how to disembowel and disembowel a person after death?"

Concubine Xi could see clearly, but she also knew that she was incapable of interfering in the affairs of the harem, so she could only helplessly say: "The Lin family is a pair of heroes, this time, someone may be thinking about the influence of the Lin family in the court, and intends to use this The girl took the influence of the Lin family for her own use."

"If it is true as the concubine said, this Miss Lin family is really wronged. I heard that the inner prison is not a place for people to stay at all. There are countless people who died in it. Even in the daytime, it is as dark as the night. The scary thing is that there are people being tortured inside every day, listening to those painful wailings all the time, even if they are not sick, they will be scared out of sickness."

Concubine Xi let out a long sigh, and shook her head helplessly.

"Times have changed, and the world outside this palace is no longer within our control. We only hope that the girl of the Lin family can escape this disaster safely."

In the past, most of the large prisons that Lin Qingyue saw on TV were a few people squeezed into a cell, with a simple layer of straw on the floor, which was used as a bed and quilt. Occasionally catching a cockroach or mouse was all earned by herself. , You can add a meal to yourself by pulling and pulling.

Before entering the inner prison, Lin Qingyue had already prepared herself for starvation. As a modern person, her head could bleed, and cockroaches and mice could never be eaten!
But what she never expected was that the real inner prison was completely different from the inner prison she had imagined.

The single room is luxuriously equipped, and there are three meals a day, as well as vegetables and meals. The most important thing is that each cell is also equipped with wooden beds and bedding.

When Lin Qingyue saw the quilt, she burst into tears. Thinking that she would not have to suffer from the cold, Lin Qingyue instantly felt that she had jumped from hell to heaven.

The person in charge of sending Lin Qingyue to the cell saw Lin Qingyue crying and laughing for a while, but he didn't show the slightest surprise, as if he had been used to it for a long time.

Lin Qingyue walked into the cell with a relaxed expression, and the wooden cell door was quickly locked from the outside by the head of the cell.

The inner prison is the place where palace officials who make mistakes are detained, and the cells are still in short supply.

There were people living on both sides of Lin Qingyue's cell. Unlike the vicious inmates in TV dramas, Lin Qingyue's two inmates were of a standard build, and they happened to be male on the left and female on the right.

Seeing Lin Qingyue walking into the cell, both of them looked at her in unison.

Lin Qingyue greeted the two of them with a faint smile, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Lin Qingyue, I'm new here, please take care of me."

Seeing that Lin Qingyue had a good attitude and took the initiative to talk to them, the two people let go of their guard a little and took the initiative to come over.

The three of them talked through the fence, and in less than a cup of tea, Lin Qingyue found out the details of these two people.

The cell on Lin Qingyue's left is a drug boy in the palace. He was originally on duty at the Imperial Hospital, but he was imprisoned here because he accidentally grabbed the wrong medicine.

The one in the cell on the right is the maid in charge of sweeping the long street in the palace. She was originally on duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but she was thrown in because she accidentally broke a bench.

Lin Qingyue twitched her lips, her crime was obviously much worse than the 'crimes' of these two.
