The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 240
The empress's palace was brightly lit.

Cai He led Mu Qingyu to walk inside. For some reason, Mu Qingyu was keenly aware of the dignified atmosphere before entering the inside.

She let out a deep breath, lowered her head and stared down at the marble floor.

During the day, under the beating of mulberry leaves, the queen's palace has been covered with thick carpets.

Entering the palace, Mu Qingyu found that there was something covered with a white cloth in the corner of the palace.

Looking at the outline, it seems that there is a person lying underneath.

Her heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at the maids standing in the palace, all of them had dignified expressions, and her back even shuddered.

Something must have happened.

Cai He led Mu Qingyu to the empress, only to see the empress sitting on the couch, her elbows resting on the desk, her forehead resting on her palms, her face was full of tiredness.

"Your Majesty, Second Miss is here."

After Caihe finished speaking, Mu Qingyu knelt down and saluted the queen: "My daughter, please refer to your empress."

The queen's eyes fell on the gauze circle on Mu Qingyu's forehead, and she paused for Mu Qingyu to stand up.

Mu Qingyu stood up, waiting for the queen's question.

"Does your forehead still hurt?" The empress first asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Ma'am, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Do you remember what happened?"

Mu Qingyu told the truth, not daring to hide anything.

Anyway, after she entered the palace today, she did not do anything wrong.

When mentioning that little maid who behaved strangely, Mu Qingyu spoke more carefully.

"...At that time, the court lady walked all the way and was sweating, so she didn't want to follow the court lady to find Sister Sangye. The court lady turned and went back, and the palace maid called to the court lady. When the court lady turned around, she seemed to be hit by something. Dizzy, fainted, I can't remember what happened next."

After hearing this, the empress's face became more serious.

Mu Qingyu waited for a long time, but did not wait for the empress's next words.She could only continue to be sullen, staring at her toes.

"The court lady you mentioned, but she?" The Empress asked abruptly.

Mu Qingyu raised his head and saw the empress pointing in a direction.She looked in the direction the queen was pointing at, and saw that it was the white cloth that she accidentally found when she first came in.

The closest court lady took a few steps forward and lifted a corner of the white cloth, revealing a pale and bloodless face.

Mu Qingyu recognized it at a glance, that was the weird little court lady she met earlier.

Covered by a white cloth, it was obviously lifeless.

Mu Qingyu suppressed his doubts and replied, "It's her."

The empress waited for a long while, and saw that Mu Qingyu was not impatient and kept asking questions, but was calm and calm, and made no mistakes at all.

As expected of a young lady cultivated by an aristocratic family, her behavior and handling are unmatched by ordinary girls.

Moreover, the one from the concubine is even more different from the one from the concubine.

The concubine, after knowing that something happened to her sister-in-law in the palace, kept sending people to investigate.

The palace is still under the empress's control, and those who inquire, wherever they go to inquire and what they find out, are all under the empress' noses.

When she knew that her sister-in-law had committed a crime, the concubine even tried to find a way to draw a clear line with her sister-in-law, for fear of implicating herself in it.

Empress Empress laughed mockingly, she was really shallow-sighted.

Looking at Mu Qingyu's demeanor, he didn't look like someone who could do that kind of thing.

It's a pity that there is no proof of death, even mulberry leaves...

"Sit down first, you still have a wound on your head, so you shouldn't be too tired." The empress said warmly.

"Thank you, ma'am." Mu Qingyu sat down on the chair Cai He brought.

"Do you want to know what she said before she died?" asked the Queen.

Mu Qingyu nodded, and said seriously: "Don't dare to hide it from your mother, I want to know."

"She said that she saw you and Mulberry leaf having a dispute by the well, and you pushed the mulberry leaf into the well by mistake, and you yourself were so frightened that you fainted, and when you fell to the ground, you hit your forehead on the stone and got injured In order to prove what she said was true, she bit her tongue and committed suicide." The empress narrated plainly.

As Mu Qingyu listened, the blood on his face slowly faded, and the fists beside him kept trembling.

Sure enough, she was framed.That little palace maid actually slandered her by death, and now there is no proof of death, even if she wants to investigate, there is no way to investigate.

The person behind the scenes must have hated her and came up with such a vicious method.

Mu Qingyu's mind was a mess, and he didn't know where to start.Thinking about it, my head still hurts.

The little maid smashed her hand to take it, her strength was not small.

Mu Qingyu stopped thinking about those twists and turns, and asked, "Ma'am, is Sister Sangye okay?"

"Oh? Do you admit that you pushed the mulberry leaf?" The queen raised her slender eyebrows.

Mu Qingyu shook his head lightly, "Sister Sang Ye is kind to others, and she has no feud with my courtier. Sister Sang Ye saw that my courtier was cold, and offered to help my courtier get a cloak, and my courtier has no reason to refuse." Sister Sangye. The courtier believes that the empress is able to see the truth clearly, and she will be able to return justice to the courtier. The well water is cold, I wonder if sister Sangye is alright?"

The concern and worry in Mu Qingyu's eyes could not deceive anyone, and her behavior was open and aboveboard, without any guilt or panic.

If she really pushed the mulberry leaves according to what the little maid said, she would definitely be able to see some clues from her now.

The Queen's eyes softened a little, and she replied: "Sang Ye was rescued in time, she only has one breath left, and she is still in a coma."

Mu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. There are many highly skilled imperial physicians in the palace who will definitely be able to cure Sister Sang Ye. When Sister Sang Ye wakes up, she will be able to return my daughter's innocence."

"Before Sang Ye wakes up, you will stay here in this palace." The queen said.

Mu Qingyu understood that this meant putting herself under house arrest.

Her gaze flicked over the white cloth in the corner, and she also wanted to know who was going to hurt herself so much.

"Yes." Mu Qingyu answered straight away.

Living next to the empress, at least I don't have to worry about someone hurting me again.

"Caihe, take the second lady down."

"Yes, Second Miss, please come with your servant."

Cai He led Mu Qingyu outside.

The queen was leaning on the pillow, her eyes were gloomy.Who dared to kill two birds with one stone under her nose, not only killing her most trusted mulberry leaves, but also killing the second lady of Duke Ding's mansion.

Really audacious.

With a sound of "snap", the empress patted a few desks heavily, and the fingertips on her hands flew far away, and the sharp fingertips hit the marble, making a sharp and piercing sound.

The maids in the palace knelt down in unison.

The queen came back to her senses, and said wearily: "Clean up, I'm tired."

"Yes!"

The ladies of the palace then divided up their tasks, approached the people outside, and swiftly carried out the person covered with white cloth in the corner, presuming that they were going to be thrown into a mass grave.

Mu Qingyu followed Caihe back to the dormitory where she woke up earlier, her head was suffering.

After drinking the medicine and washing up briefly, she fell into a deep sleep.
