Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 3 Concubine Hua passed away

As the night gradually darkened, a scream suddenly came from the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch stumbled into the imperial study with a pale face on his face: "Hua, Concubine Hua, died, passed away! Yes, someone poisoned her food!"

Sitting in front of the case, Xiao Shengyun thought for a long time before he figured out who Concubine Hua was, and he couldn't help but frowned tightly.

That concubine Hua was not favored in the palace, but she followed those concubines to bully her, who would do anything to her... What is the intention behind it?

He secretly clenched his fists, and said in a flat tone: "Let the concubines of the sixth palace wait in the imperial garden, and find out who has handled Concubine Hua's food."

The eunuch nodded hurriedly, and not long after, all the concubines, including Su Li, who was imprisoned in the harem, arrived in the imperial garden.

Sitting on the stone bench with downcast eyes, Su Li was a little confused.

How could it be such a coincidence that at this juncture...Concubine Hua was poisoned to death?
There are too many ways in the palace to quietly kill a person, so blatantly, could it be that there are ulterior motives behind it...

Next to her was a group of concubines with panic-stricken faces, who were talking about it.

"Why did Concubine Hua go so well? She has always been kind, who would have the heart to kill her?"

"I heard that the poisonous blood sealed the throat, even the gods can't save it... so cruel..."

Gentle?

Su Lijin sneered silently.

That concubine Hua is used to being arrogant and depressing, and she realized that the queen was just an empty shelf, so she colluded with the second concubine Shulan, and it was not once or twice to offend her in front of her, but no one in the palace should think about it. It's right to kill her...

"His Majesty is here!"

The eunuch's shout came from behind her, and the concubines behind her immediately shut up and knelt down to salute.

Su Lijin raised her head and saw the handsome face that she hadn't seen for nearly five years in her previous life, her heart was complicated.

She has no relationship with Xiao Shengyong. Although she often went to the harem when she was young, she only has a deep relationship with Xiao Zhaolin, the son of the virtuous king with a human face and heart. She really has no impression of Xiao Shengyong, the prince who has been locked up in the imperial study all year round. .

So when she heard that he was going to make her a queen, she felt only bewildered and resentful, blaming him for breaking her and Xiao Zhaolin apart...

But in the previous life, when she was framed to such an extent, he also spared her life, and he never treated her harshly during that time in the cold palace.

Even several times, he seemed to have said to her with deep meaning that he could protect him only if she behaved well in the palace.

Will it be...

"What do you think about Concubine Hua's death?"

The man's cold and deep voice interrupted Su Lijin's thoughts. For some reason, she always felt that pair of dark eyes would look at her from time to time, with complicated eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Concubine Lan suddenly stumbled and knelt at Xiao Shengxun's feet, her tone was earnest and sad: "Sister Hua Concubine has always been a kind-hearted person, and no one in the palace has ever had a grudge against her except the Empress... let alone the crime of murdering the concubine. , except, except for the empress..."

"presumptuous!"

Su Lijin frowned and wanted to speak, but Xiao Shengyun suddenly kicked her away with a snarl: "The queen has been imprisoned in the cold palace, how can someone poison and kill Concubine Hua! Who gave you the courage to talk nonsense?!"

Concubine Lan froze in place immediately, her face turned pale, while Concubine Shu's eyes behind her had a flash of astonishment, which turned into vicious resentment in an instant, and her eyes almost swept across the silent Su Li.

"Forget it, let's go, a group of women with long hair and short knowledge!"

Xiao Shengxue glanced at everyone impatiently, and walked away with his sleeves, leaving only the concubines looking at each other in blank dismay.

Su Lijin frowned slightly, watching the man leave, feeling a little relieved for a while.

Is he protecting her?
It was clear that Concubine Lan had said this, why should he question her and just leave like this?
Seeing the concubines beside her get up and leave one after another, looking at her with strange eyes, Su Lijin walked towards the cold palace calmly, but inadvertently glanced at the pale-faced Concubine Lan.

"What happened to Your Majesty today! It's because of that ignorant bitch..."

Concubine Lan clenched her fists tightly, bit her lips almost white, and was complaining to the palace people in a resentful tone, when a sneer suddenly came from her ear.

She felt a chill down her spine for no reason, and raised her head shrewly, only to see Su Lijin in red palace attire standing in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Here, Empress Empress, please greet me!"

Coincidentally, those palace people behind her were all scared by the snake released by Su Lijin that day, and now they looked at Su Lijin with pale faces, not much better than Concubine Lan.

"You all step back, I will catch up with Concubine Lan."

Su Lijin pursed her lips, her tone was calm, but the coldness in her eyes made Lan Fei tremble.

"You, you are not allowed to go, Queen, you..."

Concubine Lan was startled, and hurried to grab those palace servants, but she didn't want them to run so fast as if they had seen a ghost, their legs trembled almost uncontrollably.

"Concubine Lan, do you act in awe of me? Or do you have ghosts in your heart?"

Su Lijin looked at Wei Lan who was shivering in front of her, and her cool fingertips slowly landed on her face.

"What the hell can I have in mind!"

Wei Lan was fined and grounded, and today he was reprimanded again. He hated Su Lijin so much in his heart, and for a while, his fear was allayed: "Your Majesty has always had a bad relationship with Concubine Hua..."

Su Lichen raised her lips coldly, and suddenly grabbed the woman's chin, the two poisonous snakes in her sleeves wrapped around her wrists, and the slippery tip of her tongue swept over Wei Lan's thickly smeared lips.

"These two little guys don't like to hear people tell lies. If someone dares to make trouble on my head, I'm afraid they won't show mercy."

She slowly glanced at Wei Lan's suddenly pale face, and said in a casual tone, "That death is probably worse than that of Concubine Hua who was poisoned to death."

Wei Lan said tremblingly: "What do you want to do! You harmed me in the Forbidden Palace! Your Majesty will never let you go!"

"Why should I hurt you in the open?"

Su Li smiled slightly, her tone full of threats: "I can let the snake sneak into your palace after a while, crawl onto your bed in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, and then..."

Wei Lan in front of him visibly shuddered, his legs softened and he fell to the ground, his face lost all color: "You, you..."

Su Lijin grabbed her hair and said coldly in her ear: "If you don't want to die, just tell me who did Concubine Hua's death."

Since the person behind her wanted to harm her, and let Lan Fei deliberately say such misleading things, if she didn't follow Lan Fei to find out, how could she be worthy of the other party's painstaking efforts?

"I, I said! Yes, it was the son of the virtuous king who did it!"

Wei Lan was so frightened that he lost control of himself again, he said in fear and pain: "The prince also told me to say that! He wants to drive a wedge between you and His Majesty!"

Her eyes rolled quickly, and although she was afraid in her heart, she didn't fully confess.

The person who ordered her to say that was naturally her sister Concubine Shu, but how could she betray her sister!

Su Lijin looked at her with cold and deep eyes, it took her a long time to throw her on the ground, wiped her hands and walked away.

Things will not be that simple, if there is no Concubine Shu's handwriting behind it, she will never believe it!

Why don't you use those people to check...

The night is getting darker.

Su Lijin tiptoedly took the jasper token, groped out from the secret passage in the Xiaotao room, and tentatively pressed the jasper token in her hand on a secret door in the secret passage.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

A Mongolian phrase sounded behind her: "What's the matter, Master Nanuo?"

It really came!
"I need you to find out the truth about the murders of Concubine Hua and Concubine Lan."

Su Lijin quickly calmed down, lowered her voice and said in Mongolian: "Besides, I'm afraid there is something wrong with the attack on the marshal's mansion that I said earlier. I have received some news and I need to discuss it with the rest of the people. You invite everyone over tomorrow."

During those days when she was humiliated in Mongolia, she naturally learned some Mongolian language, so she won't be out of control now. Now that she knows that Xiao Zhaolin's thief is in collusion with the Mongolians, she will naturally let them bite dogs!
"This subordinate will go to investigate."

The man in black saluted her respectfully, and when he heard her order to invite other people to come over, his expression was a little hesitant: "Master Nanuo, if you want to call the other six leaders, the three adults from the Chadu family and Lord Swee It's okay to say, but Master Nguduo and Master Kai...I'm afraid they may not come."

Ngudo and Kaye! ?
When Su Lijin heard these two names, she clenched her fists.

Ngudo... are the two future generals of Mongolia!The Golden Horde warriors lurking in Daliang now!

For the rest of her life, she will never forget how Ngudo led an army to surprise and behead her brother!

What's more, she can't forget that she said to her personally... Daliang Chao has already been surrounded by his secret agents!

Su Lijin's eyes instantly surged with hatred.

Judging from what the man in black said, these two people and Xiaotao seem to be at odds...

Can she use this opportunity to get rid of them and completely control this force in her hands?
And before killing him, she seemed to be able to get another thing from him.

The Golden Crow Talisman that can mobilize the Mongolian army hiding in Daliang!
Su Lijin's thoughts changed sharply, and she quickly came up with an idea. She glanced at the man in black and said, "Don't ask so many questions, just do as I tell you."

Hearing the anger in her tone, the man in black hurriedly knelt on the ground. Su Lijin snorted, put away the token and walked out of the secret passage as if nothing had happened, but did not return to the palace immediately.

To solve the two of Nguduo, her own strength is not enough.

I don't know if that person will help her...

After hesitating for a while, she returned to the cold palace, changed her clothes, and then called a guard to give a few low-level instructions before lying back on the bed, but she never thought that before the lights were turned off, there was a sound of footsteps outside .

"Your Majesty is here~"
