Chapter 85 The Truth Comes Out
The secret guard was indeed reliable, and the next day he lured Qiu Ju out of the palace on the grounds that her mother was seriously ill.

But she didn't expect that she would be stopped as soon as she left the palace.

"What do you want to do?" Qiu Ju couldn't help but take a few steps back. The palace door was right behind her, and she could just sneak in while the people in front of her weren't paying attention.

But how could the person in front of her give her a chance?
"My master invites you to have a cup of tea." As he said this, he dodged and blocked Qiu Ju's retreat.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju also knew that she was no match for him, so she had to leave obediently.

Not long after, she was taken to a teahouse. The woman in front of her was wearing a red dress with no expression on her face. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "What do you want to do?"

"Are you Qiu Ju who serves the Queen?" Shen Chenbi looked at Qiu Ju and confirmed.

Qiu Ju frowned and did not answer, as if she was wary of Shen Chenbi.

When Qiu Ju didn't answer, Shen Chenbi felt a little more certain. She curled her lips and smiled coldly, "I don't want to say it doesn't matter, but I don't know if your seriously ill mother can survive today." Night."

"What did you do to my mother?" Hearing this, Qiu Ju could no longer remain calm and stood up excitedly.

Shen Chenbi glanced at her and did not answer her words, "A few days ago, you went out of the palace to buy red flowers on the queen's order? Is that right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Ju shook her head, her eyes evasive, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Shen Chenbi was not in a hurry. He took out the medical records from his sleeve and threw them on the table in front of Qiu Ju.

Seeing this, Qiu Ju's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Seeing Qiu Ju's silence, Shen Chenbi waved to Biyun again.

Biyun understood this and went down to bring a woman up.

"Ju'er..." Seeing Qiu Ju, the woman burst into tears. She didn't know how much she had been wronged.

Hearing this, Qiu Ju looked at the woman, her fingertips turned white from pinching her.

After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and looked at Shen Chenbi, "Yes, I did go to get the red flowers, but these were Chuntao's ideas. I was just following orders. I said everything I needed to say. , please let my mother go!"

With that said, Qiu Ju knelt down towards Shen Chenbi with a look of pleading.

Shen Chenbi frowned slightly, but his tone was still very calm, "I will naturally let her go, but not now. As long as you obey me, I will not only let your family go, but I may also save your life."

"What do you want me to do?" Qiu Ju looked up at Shen Chenbi, obviously a little moved.

The queen is not a bad person, and besides, she has Chuntao beside her. She is also having a hard time in the palace. If she can leave the palace, she will naturally be more than willing.

Shen Chenbi suddenly came closer, staring straight at her, as if he wanted to see through her, "I want you to tell the truth in front of the emperor, are you willing?"

As expected, after hearing this, a look of struggle appeared on Qiu Ju's face.

If she really does what Shen Chenbi said, as the Queen, she will naturally find a way to escape, but she will also be resented by the Queen, who will definitely not let her off easily.

Just when Qiu Ju was struggling, Shen Chenbi smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and she even looked a bit indifferent, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to now, then I have to take her back, but I won't I know her bones can't withstand my torture." Hearing this, Qiu Ju compromised. She gritted her teeth and said to Shen Chenbi, "I'm willing to testify for you, but you have to keep your promise and let me go. mother."

"Okay, but I advise you not to play any tricks. No one can help you." Shen Chenbi threatened Qiu Ju.

Probably because he was afraid of being betrayed by Sun Xuemei, Shen Chenbi still had a trace of doubt in Qiu Ju's heart.

So, Shen Chenbi didn't even finish the tea, and immediately took Qiu Ju to the palace.

At this time, the emperor was having a meal in Zhaoyang Palace, which saved him from having to send someone to invite the queen.

Seeing Qiu Ju coming in with Shen Chenbi, the queen couldn't help but frown, feeling a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, after some investigation by my ministers, I found that the Queen sent people to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic to get red flowers a few days ago. The Queen is in good health. What do you want with these red flowers?" As she spoke, Shen Chenbi looked at her with a faint look. To the Queen.

Hearing this, the emperor also frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Queen, are you serious about this?"

The queen's heart trembled, but she pretended to be unaware, "Your Majesty, I have never ordered anyone to take the red flowers. I don't know why Shen Bi wants to slander me."

Shen Chenbi had long expected that the Queen would not admit it, so he immediately showed Qiu Ju and said, "The Queen should recognize this person."

"Your Majesty, this slave is Qiu Ju, the maid in the Queen's Palace. A few days ago, Chuntao said that she was following the Queen's order and ordered her to go outside the city to get some red flowers. She didn't know that these red flowers were used to murder the emperor's heirs. Yes, please spare your life, Your Majesty."

After hearing what Shen Chenbi said, Qiu Ju followed suit, knelt on the ground with a plop, and told the emperor the truth.

Perhaps because of fear of the queen, her body was still shaking slightly as she spoke.

Seeing this, a fierce look flashed in the Queen's eyes, but then disappeared.

Chuntao, who had been waiting by her side, knelt on the ground with a bang, and began to cry with tears, "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly, this slave has never said such a thing, Qiu Ju must have been bribed by her, and then she helped her lie." .”

Seeing her confusing right and wrong, Qiu Ju's face turned red with anger.

But in front of the emperor, she did not dare to be presumptuous.

Shen Chenbi snorted coldly, glanced at Chuntao, and then said: "I thought that the amount of red flowers used that day did not match the amount of red flowers Qiu Ju brought back, so the poisoner must have some left in his hands. If there are red flowers, why don’t the emperor send people to search Chuntao’s bedroom.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Chuntao's face froze for a moment, which made Shen Chenbi even more certain that she had not had time to deal with the remaining red flowers. As long as the red flowers could be found, Biyun could be exonerated.

But the queen was not happy, and saw some anger on the queen's face, "How outrageous, you slander me, you even want to search my bedroom, do you take me seriously?"

However, Shen Chenbi was not afraid at all, and the Queen's behavior showed a guilty conscience.

Shen Chenbi had a smile on her face and pressed forward step by step, "The Queen's words are wrong. If the Queen is aboveboard, a search of the palace will prove the Queen's innocence. Doesn't the Queen herself believe in her subordinates?"

Seeing that the Queen was silent, the smile on Shen Chenbi's face became even wider. She raised her eyebrows and said, "In other words, this matter was instigated by the Queen, so the Queen feels guilty."
