Empress, she is the darling of the Emperor's hand

Chapter 562 The concubines in the harem are so pitiful 1
Shi Yunxin decisively changed the subject, coughed and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have trouble with my hands. It's late at night now, why don't we take a rest?"

The emperor knew clearly that she was pretending to be like this, so he glanced at her with his dark eyes, stretched out his arms, and held her firmly in his arms.

The emperor hugged her tightly, Shi Yunxin rested half on the emperor's chest, covered her with the quilt, and the two of them just stayed in this position, finally going to sleep.

The Long Ao Palace was the place where the emperor worked, far away from the harem, and usually only the emperor slept here at night.

This is almost the first time... a concubine sleeps here.

It was the first time that a concubine was sleeping in Long Ao Palace, and the atmosphere really felt different.

……

The next morning, Shi Yunxin woke up directly in Long Ao Palace, but the emperor had already gone to court.

The news that the emperor was poisoned last night has quickly spread throughout the court of Huaxu Kingdom. Of course, Shi Yunxin, the "biggest suspect", has also been known to the courtiers!
The only one who believes in her is the emperor. In the eyes of others, she is of course the most likely suspect of poisoning——

It doesn't take much thought to guess how the courtiers would have a bad view of this concubine after last night.

Therefore, the emperor must go to court early this morning. Appearing in person in front of the courtiers is also to appease people's hearts and let the courtiers know that the emperor is fine.

Shi Yunxin got up and washed up in the Long Ao Palace. When he was about to have breakfast, someone came to report the results of the investigation into the poisoning incident ordered by the emperor last night.

It didn't turn out very well.

The people on duty in the imperial dining room last night were interrogated separately, and indeed the people who should not have been in the imperial dining room last night were interrogated.

However, in the middle of the night last night, the body of a palace maid who jumped into the well and died was found in an abandoned ancient well in the palace!
This corpse of a palace maid who committed suicide is exactly the palace lady who was found to have problems during the interrogation.

Obviously, the person who poisoned her was this palace maid. However, this palace maid has also committed suicide, and the clues have been cut off again!

Then I checked the utensils used for frying rice noodles last night and found that they were all non-toxic. After the last little palace maid recognized the palace maid in question, she said that she had brought the bean sprouts to the imperial cook on her behalf last night.

Therefore, when the palace maid poisoned her, she probably put the poison on her own hands. When she took the handful of sprouts, the poison was all on the sprouts.

The person in question was found out, but she also died. The maid was a very small and low-level maid in the palace. It hasn't even been decided which department she will be assigned to in the palace. There is no way to find out who she was assigned to. Instigated.

However, it can also be confirmed that Shi Yunxin had no contact with this little palace maid, so she definitely did not instigate the little palace maid to poison her.

Does this clear her suspicions?
But Shi Yunxin had a headache, the palace maid committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the clues were broken again. Who was behind this?
Time after time, no obvious traces were left, and there was no special connection. What did she think?

It's hard to say if it depends on anyone specifically targeting her.

With a melancholy mood, Shi Yunxin ate breakfast, which was fed to her by the palace maid.After breakfast, Shi Yunxin was thinking about leaving. After thinking about it, it was better to go back, but he had to tell the emperor.

Just as he was about to go to the door to take a look first, the emperor came back from the court. He was dressed in a formal bright yellow dragon robe, and his twelve crowns reflected the eye-catching and noble golden light in the sun.
