The imperial concubine has been flipped again

Chapter 973 No Touch
Ling Juncheng lowered his eyes: "Queen."

Hearing this, Su Xi got up from his arms, a little unbelievable, and the remaining drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

When the night was quieter, when I heard the news, my heart still trembled violently.

The carriage drove quickly towards the palace gate, the cool wind rolled up the corner of the curtain, and some wind came in, the man lifted the corner of his robe and wrapped him in his arms again.

As soon as he arrived at the Leng Palace, he smelled a smell that was still lingering in the air. The smell was mixed with a bit of damp rot, which made people want to vomit.

Su Xi was led by Ling Juncheng, she hid behind him.

Originally, she was afraid of seeing blood, but since she was with him, she saw blood more often and became immune.

The palace man pushed open the two closed palace doors.

The oncoming fishy smell was even stronger. Su Xi couldn't hold it back. She turned her body and leaned on her waist and retched for a while while facing the grass beside her.

"Xixi, don't go in, wait here for me."

Ling Juncheng patted her on the back lightly.

Seeing that she finally calmed down a bit, he stepped into the yard, followed closely by Mu Yang.

Su Xi then stood outside the door and waited.

Just smelling the smell that made her vomit several times, she lost the courage to go in with him.

"Your Majesty, tell me, why did the Empress suddenly lose her mind and kill herself?"

Maisui might also be trembling, she moved closer to Su Xi, and stayed close to her.

"This, only she knows." Su Xi shook her head.

For a while, neither the master nor the servant spoke again.

After a while, Ling Juncheng came out of the yard.

Without saying anything, he took Su Xi's hand and walked towards Qingyue Palace.

"Queen. Did she really kill herself?" Seeing his solemn expression, Su Xi couldn't help asking.

Ling Juncheng didn't stop, he went straight forward, and replied lightly, "No."

"Then why did the guards report that she committed suicide?" Su Xi was even more at a loss.

Ling Juncheng quickened his pace: "She seems to have killed herself, but it seems she was forced to."

Hearing this, Su Xi silently leaned against him.

The queen has been sitting in the back seat for so many years, without a family background to rely on, and without the favor of the king, she has long cultivated her tenacity and fortitude.

Ordinarily, she would not end her life carelessly just because she was thrown into the cold palace. She might be looking forward to a chance to make a comeback from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, when Su Xi followed Ling Juncheng all the way to Lenggong, she had a balance in her heart.

The queen should not have committed suicide, and the deaths of the concubines in the palace were not accidental.
She even thought of the man behind the scenes.
Ling Juncheng didn't speak any more.

He didn't feel much about the queen's death, not enough to move him.

What he has to deal with now is the undercurrents that are just around the corner.

The news was like a gust of wind. The fact that the Queen committed suicide the night she was demoted to the cold palace was widely known.

There were heated discussions inside and outside the palace, and the situation in the courtroom suddenly became tense.

After Ling Juncheng came back from Leng Palace and stayed overnight, he never came to Qingyue Palace again, but every day he would send Zhang Deming to send some delicious food, or something interesting to relieve Su Xi's boredom.

Su Xi nestled on the rattan chair under the almond tree every day, eating, drinking, and dozing off all day long.

The days looked peaceful on the surface, but she also felt the tense urgency that Ling Juncheng was enduring.
