ugly queen

Chapter 98

Here, Cui'er Caixia took advantage of the spare time to pass on the breakfast meal, waited for the master to eat the meal, and then hurriedly withdrew, Jiang Cheng had already brought people over, the locker of Guangyang Palace, the imperial dining room Xiaoju, the two of them stood awkwardly in the resplendent and resplendent hall, and secretly glanced at the empress, who was all around her, with a cold expression on her face, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips, but that smile was as cold as February's. Lake water, freezing heart and lung.

"My servant has seen the empress." The two maids knelt in the hall, Liu Liu stared at the two of them coldly, sweeping from one face to another, and from that face to this face, the expressions on the faces of the two maids They were all a little pale, and they didn't dare to say a word, they just lowered their heads and looked at the smooth floor tiles, waiting for the empress to let go.

"Tell me, where were you the night before yesterday? Tell me honestly, and I will send someone to investigate immediately. If you dare to lie, don't blame me for being cruel."

The two maids trembled slightly from the fright of these words, neither of them dared to speak first, Liu Liu coldly glanced at Xiao Ju in the imperial dining room, this girl was obviously too scared, could it be that she killed Xiao Yun, His eyes narrowed dangerously, and his lips curled up murderously: "Xiaoju, tell me, where were you the night before yesterday? Where were you last night?"

"Slave, servant?" Xiaoju's face turned white and white, and her body trembled slightly. After trembling for a long time, she said, "Slave is sleeping," Xiaoju said, unable to say anything, she started to cry, Liu Liu condensed her face and said nothing. She would not sympathize with the murderer casually. One of these two people was the one who killed Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun was obviously the one who killed Qiaoer.

"Okay, you have to be responsible for what you said, if it is found out that you are not asleep?" Liu Liu didn't say what she said next, because no one knew what the empress would say next.

As soon as Xiaoju heard the empress's words, she cried even harder with a wow, Jiang Cheng, the chief eunuch standing behind her, stopped angrily: "Why are you crying? If I let my father-in-law know that you are lying in front of the empress , let’s see if my father-in-law punishes you severely.”

Xiaoju was frightened to death at first, but when she was bluffed by Manager Jiang, she kowtowed her head and begged repeatedly: "I beg your mother to spare my life. The servant girl was with Xiao Dezi from the imperial dining room the night before yesterday and last night. Together, the empress can go and investigate, this time the servant did not lie, I beg the empress to spare the servant, the servant deserves to die, she should not have a private meeting with the eunuch in the harem, please forgive the servant once, the servant will never dare again."

Liuliu raised her eyebrows, it turned out that these maids like to have private meetings with eunuchs, although the eunuchs have been tortured, some people still have psychological needs, so they will find those court ladies who are willing to hang out with them, and do this in the dark together In the past two nights, Xiaoju was with that little eunuch, because she was afraid of being punished if she spoke out, so she didn't want to talk about it at first, but she didn't expect that it would be involved in Xiaoyun's death. How could she dare to cover it up? Tell the truth.

"I heard that you have gotten closer to Xiaoyun recently. I want to know why you and her have gotten closer?"

Xiao Ju was ashamed for a while, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Return to the empress, because Xiao Yun also likes Xiao Dezi, the servant is afraid that she will seduce Xiao Dezi, so I keep watching her."

Liu Liu raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect that the court lady would still be jealous of the eunuch, she was only investigating a case, and she was involved in a scandal in the palace, if it was said that Xiaoju would meet the eunuch privately, then there are probably many such people in the harem, But this time Liuliu just wanted to find out who killed Qiaoer. As for the scandal, I believed Jiang Cheng would deal with it, so he relaxed a little, let Xiaoju go, turned to look at the maid on the other side, locked Er, I heard that this girl is Jin Jiali's personal girl since she was a child. She must have a very good relationship. I saw this Suoer, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, looks dignified and beautiful, and is kneeling on the ground at this moment. Although he is afraid, he is actually calm. Ziruo, Liuliu couldn't help applauding this girl, maybe because she is the girl who got the stage in the general's mansion, she has seen many big scenes, so she is calmer when encountering things, Liuliu smiled with a cold voice.

"I heard your name is Suo'er, isn't it?"

Suo'er bowed her head neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, the servant is called Suo'er, and she is the personal servant of the Concubine De of Guangyang Palace." There was a touch of confidence in Suo'er's words, and he even lifted his master out. She probably thought that she would give her master face, Liu Liu sneered, her face was cold: "Tell me, where were you last night and last night?"

Suo'er was stunned, although she was a servant, but she was the young lady's personal servant, who was equivalent to half of the master from childhood, and received generous treatment, did not expect that this woman would not buy her master's face at all, He snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he only spoke in awe.

"The servant girl has been staying in Guangyang Palace and has never been out of Guangyang Palace at night. The empress can check this point."

Suo'er thought she had spoken perfectly. She said that she raised her face to look at the empress. Although she looked very respectful on the surface, the contempt that flashed in her eyes was captured by Liu Liu in the blink of an eye. Sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Oh, how did you know Yushanfang Xiaoyun?"

"Back to your mother, my servants often change tastes for our master. I have been to the imperial dining room a few times, and Xiaoyun pestered my servants. I wanted to work in Guangyang Palace, so my servants got acquainted with her. As for her other servants at all have no idea."

Liuliu raised her eyebrows and looked at Suo'er's calm and composed face, she couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart, she was almost sure that the death of Qiao'er was the idea of ​​Jin Suo, and her master was probably behind her, but right now there is no evidence to prove it. Proof, her crime can't be cured, she is confident, she is sure that the matter will not be exposed, Liu Liu was thinking about it, and when she saw Xiaoju on the side, she couldn't help but have a flash of light, Jiang Cheng only left for a while yesterday, Then Xiaoyun died, so it is very likely that there is something wrong with Jiang Cheng's eunuch, then this eunuch will be deceived by the golden lock? When Liu Liu thought of this, she sneered knowingly and waved her hand Jiang Cheng went over and ordered him in a low voice to immediately check whether any of the eunuchs who inspected Xiao Yun yesterday had anything to do with Jin Suo, and as soon as he found out, he would interrogate him immediately and ask him to tell who ordered him to hand it over. Killed Xiaoyun?Jiang Cheng immediately took the order and went out.

As soon as Jin Suo, who was kneeling down, saw Manager Jiang walking out and the empress staring at him gloomyly, he couldn't help feeling a little numb in his scalp. Although he was still calm, he felt a little flustered in his heart. He was extremely nervous, and saw a little eunuch rushing in to report: "Empress, Concubine Shu, please see me." When Jin Suo heard the little eunuch's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the empress came.

Liu Liugao sat on the phoenix couch, her whole body was cold, she looked down upon the hall, she squinted at the relieved girl, with a hint of air-conditioning on the corners of her lips, it seemed that this girl thought she would be fine when the master came, and her eyes became more and more gloomy. Deep black, said in a deep voice: "Let her in."

"Yes, ma'am," the eunuch stepped back, and the person who hurried up was the graceful concubine Jin Jiali, with a carefully painted face, eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like water apricots, and a straight nose Lips, wearing a blue lake haze, the whole body is oppressive.

"My concubine has met the empress before me," Jin Jiali bowed to Liu Liu, not to mention how unwilling she was, and contempt flashed in her eyes. This ugly woman, she did not believe that she could not beat her, was it because the empress dowager was her? Aunt?The person who dared to arrest her in Guangyang Palace was still her personal girl, who looked at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face. I didn't expect her to be the master, and no one would pay attention to her.

"Let's get down, I don't know why Concubine Shu came here early in the morning? Didn't I say last time that I don't need morning inspection?" Liu Liu said lightly, and Jin Jiali's face darkened. This woman can really pretend , I had no choice but to say with a smile: "The concubine is here to see what this girl, Suo'er, has done to make your empress unhappy, and I will take it back later and get a heavy punishment."

As soon as Jin Suo, who was kneeling in the middle of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, heard his master's words, he wailed flexibly: "Your Majesty, please save this servant, this servant did nothing, how did you offend the Empress?"

When Jin Jiali heard this, the corners of her lips were stern, and she reprimanded Jin Suo: "You naughty girl, did you do something you shouldn't do, and see if I punish you when I look back?"

Liu Liu sat at the top, watching the master and servant singing the double reed, extremely bored, and coldly swept towards Jin Jiali in the middle: "Sit down, concubine Shu, since I am the head of the Three Palaces. Lord, no matter which palace or palace it is, I am obliged to train her well. If the masters are capable of teaching, I believe they will not make mistakes. Since they are not able to teach well, then let me Do your best for you."

Liu Liu's words blocked all thoughts of Jin Jiali and Jin Suo. Jin Suo turned pale and shook a few times, as if he was a little more flustered than before. Although he was angry, he could still deal with it calmly, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to go to the side and sit down, and Shi Shiran looked at the empress.

"Since the empress said so, it made the empress suffer, but I don't know what this girl did? Make the empress ask herself?"

Liu Liu's face was calm, she glanced at Jin Jiali calmly, and said softly, "Why do you need to be anxious, Concubine Shu, you will know what's going on after a while?"

The corners of Jin Jiali's lips curled into a sneer. She kept telling Suo'er to be careful, but she didn't believe that she would be caught by this woman. Because she was overconfident, she played with her fingers as if nothing had happened. Jin Suo, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, was careful. He glanced at the empress sitting above, and then at the master next to him, feeling a sense of desolation suddenly in his heart. At best, he was just a pawn in the hands of the masters. I am afraid that this time he will be doomed. I hope the master will treat him kindly. Such a silly brother, he did not waste his allegiance to her, Jin Suo's tears welled up in his eyes.
