Chapter 375 Panic
The night was dim, there was no light in the house, and it was pitch black.

The door was pushed open, and an old man came in from the outside with an oil lamp in his hand. The originally dark room suddenly became much brighter.

Putting the oil lamp on the table, the old man looked towards the bed. Seeing that the person on the bed was still quiet, he looked away and sat on the chair.

He took out a wine jug and an oiled paper bag from his bosom, and the old man was very comfortable drinking wine and eating meat.

The pain spread all over his body, and the person on the bed opened his eyes. Although he could hear the sound coming from the room, he couldn't even turn his head.

"Uh..." When the voice came, the old man turned his head again and looked towards the bed. He stood up and walked towards the bed while drinking and eating meat.

"I finally woke up. If you don't wake up again, the old man will leave you alone." Seeing that the person on the bed opened his eyes, the old man had a smile on his face. He took a sip of his wine and burped before standing Beside the bed, looking at the person lying on the bed.

"You are seriously injured. You won't be able to get up for a while. If you hadn't met me, you would have died. Remember, I will repay you later." Feeling a little bit reluctant, he put the jug back into his arms, and leaned over to check the injury for the person on the bed.

The strong smell of alcohol came, and the person on the bed seemed a little unwell, and frowned slightly. Seeing him like this, the old man raised his hand and slapped him, with a dissatisfied expression, "The old man treats you, but you still despise the old man and are ungrateful."

The body was already in pain, but after being slapped by the old man, it became more painful. However, after the pain, the person on the bed felt that he seemed to be a little more relaxed.

"You fell from the top, fortunately there was a tree as a buffer, and you met an old man like me, so your life was saved. However, I am afraid that you will have to work with medicine in the future, but don't worry, you won't die for a while."

"Okay, you can rest. You disliked me just now, and you have nothing to eat." Straightening up, the old man turned and walked outside the house. When he passed by the table, he did not forget to take the oil lamp with him.

The room fell into darkness again. The person on the bed wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything. He could only lie in the dark room with his eyes open.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty!" Early in the morning, Yingluo came in from outside the hall in a panic, and seeing her appearance, the Queen couldn't help frowning.

"You all go down." She ordered the palace servants in the palace, and after everyone retreated, the queen said again, "It's so early in the morning, what's the fuss about?"

"Your Majesty, Jin Jieyu was arrested by the Emperor and sent to the Punishment Department." Saluting to the Empress, Yingluo spoke again, with panic in her voice.

"Department of Punishment? Why?" After Yingluo finished speaking, the queen couldn't help but feel a sudden burst of heart. She stared at Yingluo and asked again.

"Returning to your mother, it is said that imperial concubine Chen was assassinated last night, the emperor was injured as a result, and the assassin was captured alive. After interrogation, Jin Jieyu was confessed."

The reason why Yingluo was so flustered was not only because Jin Jieyu was arrested, but more importantly, because of the assassin.

"That idiot, how dare you do such a blatant thing!" After Yingluo finished speaking, the queen's expression changed involuntarily.

Not to mention the fate of assassinating Concubine Chen, just talking about hurting the emperor is a big deal.

In a big way, this is rebellion and treason, and it can destroy the nine clans. Anyway, Jin Jieyu is also sent by the Xiao family. If she does so, it will undoubtedly implicate the Xiao family.

"Your Majesty, don't think about Jin Jieyu now, you should think about how to protect yourself and escape." Looking at the queen, Yingluo said worriedly, "The person who assassinated the noble concubine Chen was sent by your servant to send him away." Ran'er to Jingyuexuan!"

"What!" At this moment, the queen's face became even more ugly, "That girl Ran'er has always been honest, how could she listen to the vowel and do such a thing?"

For Ran'er, the Empress had an impression, the reason why she sent Ran'er to Jingyue Xuan was because Ran'er was easy to control, the Empress never thought that Ran'er would do such a thing.

"Where is that girl now? What did she say? If necessary, send someone to deal with her while she doesn't say much!" Trying to calm herself down, the queen looked at Yingluo, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"Madam, that girl is already dead. Before she died, she confessed that Jin Jieyu ordered her to assassinate Concubine Chen, and that Jin Jieyu sent someone to poison Concubine Chen, and killed her to silence her. She even handed over a blood letter to the emperor."

After reporting all the news she had obtained to the queen, Yingluo's face was also very ugly.

"Blood book? What blood book? Didn't you always send people to watch over Jin Jieyu? Why doesn't Bengong know anything about the news over there? What are the people watching for?"

Thinking of the possible consequences of these things, the queen's face turned from red to white. She stared at Yingluo and questioned angrily.

"Your Majesty, this servant has indeed sent people to keep an eye on Jin Jieyu, but this servant did not expect that the person who sent out was bribed by someone, so the news that came back was all false and useless."

Speaking of this matter, Yingluo was also furious. She had just learned the news. The person who was sent out had already been dealt with by Yingluo. After all, he was a slave who betrayed his master.

"Been bought?" The queen was a little dizzy. Today's news made her more angry. She leaned on the soft bed and rubbed the center of her brows.

"The servant asked, but the lowly servant refused to say anything. The servant has already sent someone to deal with her, including her family." It's not that I have tried threatening her family, but it didn't work.

Yingluo understands that now is not the time to be entangled in this matter, so she simply ordered someone to deal with the whole family directly.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Looking at the queen, although Yingluo is very smart, she still has to let the queen decide on major matters.

"Right now... what should I do now? By the way, I want to write a letter to my family, yes, to write a letter to my family." Getting up from the soft couch, the queen stumbled to the desk, not knowing whether it was because of panic or something, The queen's hands trembled a little.

After trembling, the letter was written, and the queen read it roughly before handing it to Yingluo, "It must be delivered to father, and it must not be handed over to anyone, do you understand?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Yingluo knew the importance of the matter, she agreed, put the letter away carefully, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Sitting behind the desk, the queen stared blankly at Yingluo's leaving back, feeling flustered in her heart, and she didn't know what she would face next.
