The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 60 You Are Jokha's Empress, Not mine

Xuan Jue, who turned back to Fengluan Palace again, was witnessing a good show in the palace.

At this moment, the empress had lost all her alcohol, she sat upright in the first place, and all the palace people knelt down in the hall.

There are the head of the imperial dining room, the sweeping maid of Zhaochun Palace, and Guan Yu, the personal maid of Concubine Zhang.

Xuan Jue saw that the queen was questioning everyone, so she ignored everyone's greetings and went to sit beside the queen and listened to what she could come up with.

The queen asked one by one: "You are in charge of the imperial dining room, and you have records of the ingredients here. Let me ask you, who has come to your place to get shrimp powder these days?"

The head of the imperial dining room replied almost without thinking: "Linglong, who is next to the nobleman Chu in Zhaochun Palace, came to the imperial dining room to get shrimp powder, and there is no one else for the rest."

"Oh? How do you remember it so clearly?"

"Because there are very few masters of the palaces in summer, only Zhaochun Palace does it every day, so the slaves remember it clearly."

The queen nodded indifferently, and then fixed her eyes on the maid of honor in Zhaochun Palace, "You are serving outside Zhaochun Palace, have you seen any strange things in the palace recently?"

The palace maid trembled with fright, and she didn't dare to lift her head to answer the queen's words, "Go back to the empress, the nobleman Chu made fresh food every day and sent them to the main hall to eat with the empress Zhang. The two often laughed and talked sweetly, watching Looks very speculative."

The queen asked Guan Yu again: "You are serving Concubine Zhang personally. The nobleman of Chu knows that Concubine Zhang is allergic to shrimp roe powder, so why did you ask your servants to go to the imperial dining room to get some shrimp roe powder?"

Guan Yu said: "Chu Guiren only found out about this two days ago. It is also because of Chu Guiren's kindness that he made delicious food every day to share with my mother. This servant remembers the Linglong that was in Chu Guiren's room a few days ago. The girl made a dish of emerald shrimps, my mother is allergic to shrimps and shrimps, so I told Chu Guiren about it."

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said meaningfully: "That's really a coincidence. This nobleman of Chu knew about Concubine Zhang's taboo, and Concubine Zhang almost lost her life at the Qianqiu Banquet in the palace. I have to think about it."

She intentionally splashed dirty water on Chu Jin's body. Liu Ying and Chu Ying, who had been angered by Chu Jin in the past, were unwilling to settle down, and the two started arguing in the hall.

"The taboos of concubines entering the palace are all reported to the imperial dining room. The supervisor of the imperial dining room must protect the privacy of the concubine. It is inevitable that people with evil intentions will know about it and make fuss about it. Therefore, the hidden disease of the concubine Zhang She didn't know about it, but she, Mrs. Chu, knew that someone dropped shrimp powder in Concubine Zhang's food. Tsk tsk, it's okay to think about it."

"Exactly. Thinking about it carefully, the seat of the nobleman Chu at the banquet is in the way of Zhang Fei and the empress. The shrimp powder is light and portable, and it falls into the food with a shake, and the mixture of soup and water is not easy to detect. "Xiao promised to say 'hiss' in his mouth, took a breath of cold air and shook his head again and again, "It's true that people can't be judged by their appearances. Seeing that Chu Guiren usually looks like he is indifferent to the world, I don't want to be in the same room with Riri. The sisters who live here can also kill me next time."

The words of the two of them seem to confirm Chu Jin's crimes, and even the newly entered concubine Chen is not too serious about watching the excitement, and she also wants to sell the queen a favor, so she interjected: "The concubine seems to have seen it during the banquet. At that time, the nobleman of Chu kept moving towards Concubine Zhang’s table. At first, I thought it was because of the deep affection between Jinlan and Jinlan, but now I think it’s suspicious. Concubine Zhang’s body is strong, and she is even afraid of the heat in summer. Yi Luohan, the nobleman Chu is so close to Concubine Zhang, don’t you feel the heat is tight? If you want to put dirty things in Concubine Zhang’s food, just now is the best time.”

The rest of Chen Xuying had always been timid, so he didn't dare to intervene, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

And Concubine Xian didn't comment, when the queen asked, she only said: "The concubine is too strong to drink. I just toasted the empress and she was a little drunk. My mind was in a daze and I didn't see anything. But the concubine is not very good I understand Chu Guiren's temperament, but I always feel that she is more than that. And if she gave sister Zhang Concubine shrimp powder, then how could she accidentally eat jasmine powder and almost suffer from asthma? This asthma attack , but it can kill people.”

"This makes it appear that she has nothing to do with this matter, so that she can get rid of herself completely." The Empress cut off Concubine Xian's words, and said with a gloomy expression: "Chu Guiren is the most suspicious of today's matter, and I really have to investigate it carefully. What does the emperor think?"

Xuan Jue looked straight at the queen beside him, and asked after a long time, "What is your motive?"

"Motivation?" The queen sneered, lowered her eyebrows and said with a look of sadness: "In the past, concubine Li poisoned her concubines, what motive did she have? She is a member of the Chu family, and she is born with the intention of harming others for a moment."

Xuan Jue took a short breath, shook his head and said, "I remember that Concubine Zhang seldom gets close to people when she enters the palace. Except for Chu Jin, she doesn't make friends with others, and she doesn't make friends with others, does she?" He paused for a moment. After a pause, he tapped his knuckles on the table twice, "Except that the queen had quarreled with her, she said something that shouldn't have been said, which made you unable to get off the table."

The queen's expression was unbelievably surprised, her eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, "Is the emperor suspicious of the concubine? The concubine"

"The queen likes to eat crab cakes, but this year it's hard to be near the sea, and the production of crab cakes is rare, so I use more shrimp powder instead. The crab cakes in your palace are all made of shrimp powder. How can the queen say that there are only Chu nobles in the palace?" Have you come to pick up the shrimp roe noodles?" Xuan Jue's voice was cold and peaceful, as if he was talking to the empress about family matters, but when he heard it in the empress' ears, it was mixed with a bone-chilling chill.

After speaking with the queen, Xuan Jue casually picked up the wooden table on the table and threw it at the head of the imperial dining room who was kneeling in the hall, "Say, is it true that only the nobleman Chu came to fetch the shrimp powder?"

The head of the imperial dining room was smashed into a round bag, and he was so frightened that he spoke in a crying voice, "Aunt Qingdai in the empress's palace also took it, but just"

"You bastard!" Xuan Jue snapped at the table angrily, cursing: "Just now you kept saying that only the Zhaochun Palace cooks every day, and that only people from the nobleman's palace come to pick up the shrimp powder, but now you suddenly changed your mind, you're a villain, and repeated Impermanence, this kind of character is also worthy of being in charge of a house!? Come on, drag him down, punish the eighty masters, and expel him from the palace!"

Several guards dragged and dragged the head of the imperial dining room away. Although he kept shouting grievances, who would believe the grievances he said at this moment?

Everyone at the scene fell silent, everyone was thinking in their hearts that this matter must really have something to do with the queen, otherwise why would the head of the imperial dining room lie?
Xuan Jue remained silent, staring at the queen with fire in his eyes.

The queen knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Why did the concubine do this? The concubine is the empress of Dazhao, the concubine"

"You are Dazhao's queen, but not mine." Xuan Jue cut off the queen's words coldly, and shook his head with frowned eyebrows: "It's fine that Chu Guiren and Concubine Zhang have nothing to do, if there is something wrong between her two, even if you are The eldest daughter of the Baili family, even your father can't protect you!"
