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

Chapter 99 Witch Gu
In a lively and joyful atmosphere, the puppet show came to an end smoothly.

Su Lijin walked to her back seat, stretched her muscles and bones, and looked very tired.

She was indeed quite tired. After all, she was performing a puppet show for everyone, and her muscles were all tense.

Fortunately, although the action of manipulating the puppet is not very good, it is at least a complete performance of the puppet show.

She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Shengxun beside her.

At this time, Xiao Shengyun was sitting on the dragon chair, relaxed all over, not like her.

Looking at it, Su Lijin suddenly thought of what he said to praise her, and her face blushed again.

"This guy seems to have honey on his mouth recently, what's going on?"

"No, no, he is a big carrot, don't believe what he says."

Shaking her head, she quickly let herself jump out of the honeypot trap, and glared at the person next to her.

Xiao Shengyun, who was stared at inexplicably, turned his head to look at her, and curled up his thin lips helplessly.

"Ah! Someone fainted!"

An exclamation came from the background, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What's going on? What happened?" The queen mother frowned loudly.

"I don't know, Empress Dowager, why don't we go and have a look?" Concubine Shu said, looking in the direction of the backstage.

Su Li frowned slightly, for some reason, she always felt that something bad had happened.

The queen mother got up and walked towards the backstage displeased: "Go, go and see with Ai's family."

Looking at Xiao Shengyun, Su Lijin also followed.

Everyone in the backstage was obviously in a panic, surrounded by people on the ground, their voices were noisy, but their expressions were inexplicably taboo, as if they had discovered something taboo.

Su Lijin couldn't see inside, but felt that the atmosphere was not right.

She pushed aside the crowd and said, "What happened?"

As soon as she approached, she found that lying on the ground was a woman dressed as a theater actor.

At this time, the woman closed her eyes tightly, as if she had passed out.

The queen mother patted the table in displeasure amidst the quarrel, and said angrily: "What kind of arrogance is there, shut up to Aijia!"

All of a sudden, the surrounding people came to their senses and immediately knelt down and saluted one after another.

Xiao Shengyun came out and said, "Everyone get up and answer, who is fainted on the ground?"

Several theater performers looked at each other, and one of the male theater actors said: "Back to the emperor, the female theater actress who fainted is called Chen Yue. The few of us just found out that she fainted suddenly, so suddenly, we couldn't help screaming, disturbing her." The emperor, really deserve to die."

Su Lijin suddenly asked: "Did she faint suddenly without any warning?"

The actor nodded: "It's very strange, he just fainted suddenly."

Glancing at the people on the ground, the Empress Dowager's eyes were full of disgust, and she said: "Since you have fainted, take it out for a diagnosis and treatment, and don't make any noise here."

Several actors nodded, but their expressions were a little strange, they kept looking towards Chen Yue's side, as if there was something there.

Following the gazes of several people, Su Lijin suddenly noticed that something seemed to have fallen from Chen Yue's body, but she was not too close to see it clearly.

"That thing looks like..." she murmured.

She was a little unsure, but something was about to come out.

Xiao Shengyun also looked over, frowning slightly, obviously seeing it too.

The queen mother said angrily: "Is there anything else to hide from Aijia?"

After finishing speaking, he walked directly to Chen Yue, took a look, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Why is there a spell here?"

The queen mother picked up the charm that fell from Chen Yue's body, and said angrily: "Spells are taboo in the palace, you are so brave! You all want to be beheaded, don't you?!"

Several actors knelt down again with a plop, kowtowing.

"Queen, the grassroots are wronged, that's not our spell!"

"That talisman must have been cast on Chen Yue. She was cursed, and she fainted suddenly!"

One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and this sentence immediately made everyone present gasp.

"How can there be such a thing as a spell? How vicious is the person who cursed this time?"

"Yeah, you dare to touch the taboos in the palace, you really want to die."

Everyone was shocked, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and this matter was pushed to the forefront.

Su Lijin frowned: "Unexpectedly, that thing is really a spell."

Xiao Shengyun's black eyes were deep: "This kind of thing appeared here, it is indeed sudden."

"This matter must be investigated!"

The queen mother snorted heavily: "Come here, quickly bring everyone here, the Ai family will be interrogated one by one!"

The guards got the order and immediately escorted all the people in the background.

Su Lijin saw that Du Xi was also escorted here and stood among the crowd.

"Aijia asks you, who cast this spell?" The Empress Dowager cast her fierce eyes on everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads in horror.

"Heh, don't you say it?" The Queen Mother sneered: "If you don't say it, Aijia will think it's all of you colluding!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Forgive me, Queen Mother, we didn't let this go."

"How could we put such taboo things, Empress Dowager Mingjian!"

"You said you didn't let it go, did this thing fly out of nowhere?" The Queen Mother said angrily, "Ma'am, put these lies full of things under arrest!"

"Queen Mother, Du Xi cast the spell, she must have cast it!"

One of them desperately pointed at Du Xi.

Seeing this, the others also pointed at Du Xi and cursed: "It must be her, her father was a witchcraft practitioner, she must have inherited this kind of evil, she put the spells to harm people!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Du Xi, and someone saw the scar on half of her face, and couldn't help showing disgust.

Su Lijin frowned, and wanted to say something, but Xiao Shengyun shook his head at her: "Listen to what she has to say first."

Du Xi shook his head in horror, and quickly denied: "Queen Mother, I didn't let this go, I would never do such a harmful thing!"

At this time, the person sent out to search suddenly ran over.

"Report! I found this in the actor Du Xi's room!"

Everyone looked and saw that the search guard was holding a lifelike doll in his hand.

The doll is made of cloth, the size of a palm.

The queen mother smiled coldly: "Du Xi, you still dare to argue? This is clearly evidence of your witchcraft!"

Du Xi looked at the doll and kept shaking his head: "Queen Mother, the girl is wronged! Queen Mother, that's not witchcraft!"

Su Lijin walked forward silently, took the doll and inspected it carefully: "Look at me, this doll is not witchcraft."

After finishing, she looked at Chen Yue on the ground again.

I saw that Chen Yue's clothes were neat and tidy, and there were no signs of falling or bumping on her body, as if...

It's like lying on the ground automatically.

This thought made the corners of her lips twitch slightly, and she couldn't help walking to Chen Yue's side.

Xiao Shengyun looked at her, not knowing what she was going to do, when suddenly he heard Su Lijin yell.

"Ah! Chen Yue is covered in cockroaches!"

Su Lijin's scream was full of panic, as if she had really seen groups of cockroaches crawling on Chen Yue.

Many people took a few steps back in fright.

"what!"

At the same time, Chen Yue, who was supposed to faint and unconscious, screamed and jumped up from the ground!
Chen Yue jumped on the spot, trying to shake off the cockroaches, but she jumped for a long time, but there was no sign of half of the cockroaches.

She raised her head, and suddenly met Su Lijin's scrutinizing eyes, her face turned pale.

"It turns out that you were pretending to faint." With a smile on the corner of Su Lijin's mouth, she looked at her critically and asked, "Why did you frame Du Xi?"

At this time, everyone also looked at Chen Yue in shock, with disbelief on their faces.

Xiao Shengyun's black eyes floated up in admiration, looking at Su Li, his thin lips curled up.

Chen Yue shook her head again and again, and panicked, "No, I didn't frame her!"

"Facing the facts, do you still want to be stubborn?" Su Lijin snorted softly.

"Queen, maybe she just woke up suddenly?"

The Queen Mother looked at Su Lijin dissatisfiedly: "Now you are asking about witchcraft, why are you talking about other people?"

The case is about to be closed.

Xiao Shengyun interrupted: "No, this matter is strange!"
