Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 49 Raise your head and look at me

"Maybe it's because this girl is too young, so she was frightened by the emperor's brother's majesty. I only show this expression when I lie and steal."

Yan Qingshu was talking without meaning, but she had a different meaning in Shen Que's ears, and his expression became even more gloomy.

Yan Qingshu approached curiously, "Miss Yuyun, why are you sweating so much? It's not cold in this room. Could it be that you feel uncomfortable?"

Only then did Yuyun realize that she had broken out in a cold sweat. The vest underneath was already wet, and it was cold and clinging to her body.

She already had something in her mind, but when she saw Yang Yunxi and Yan Qingshu saying this, her limbs trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"Thank you Yan Baolin for your concern. I'm wearing too thick clothes, and it's sunny today, so I'm sweating all over. Stay away, don't let my smelly sweat get to you."

When Shen Que stayed at the Chunxi Palace in the past, Yuyun, not to mention how smart she was, was also very articulate and not afraid of herself.

But when he saw himself today, his eyes rolled around. His eyes were erratic, and his face was full of guilt. It was obvious that he was not telling the truth.

"Raise your head and look at me!"

Yuyun's teeth chattered, and she mustered up the courage to look up at Shen Que. His eyes were dark, deep and cold, and his cold eyes locked tightly on hers.

Yuyun was still young after all. When he saw Shen Que in the past, he always looked gentle and rarely got angry. Looking at each other at such a close distance, I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble and quickly looked away.

"Your Majesty, Queen, this girl has shown her guilty conscience as a thief," Yang Yunxi said.

"If I hadn't met this girl by chance, I don't know what this girl could have done. It would be better to send her to the rape room and stay for a while. If she still doesn't say anything, then she is telling the truth. .”

Yuyun's face suddenly turned to dust. The prison room was a place where concubines and palace servants who made mistakes were imprisoned. They had to shed their skins even if they didn't die.

"No, the punishment of rape is not something that ordinary people can bear. How could Yuyun, a weak woman, endure it? Even if she said it, it would be a result of beating."

Hua Jingyun sighed slightly. She originally thought that Zhu Ci framed Concubine Shu, but now it seems that Lu Cairen may not be able to escape the relationship.

She's really confused. She's pregnant with a dragon heir, so what's there to worry about?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a cry. Looking up, it was Cui Lan next to Zhu Ci who was crying.

"Your Majesty, Queen, my master is wronged."

Cui Lan walked out of the corner and knelt straight in front of Shen Que and Hua Jingyun. Tears rolled down her face unbridled and fell to the ground, creating a small splash.

"The Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder was given to me by Lu Cai a few days ago, saying it can moisturize the skin and remove marks. I have been reluctant to use it. When I went to Zhaoyang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen, I heard that The servant said that Concubine Shu had a large rash on her body for some reason, and the master was very worried, so he gave the Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder to Concubine Shu as a gift."

After hearing what Cui Lan said, Hua Jingyun also remembered it.

"Having said that, I remembered it. I gave it to Lu Cairen when she was pregnant."

"The Empress clearly knows that the master and the Concubine Shu are not on holiday, and there is no reason to harm the Concubine Shu. The master also has good intentions, but she did not expect to do bad things." Cui Lan kowtowed desperately, "Your Majesty, Queen Your Majesty, Master, she is really unjust. My Master has always been on good terms with all the ladies in the palace, and there has never been any quarrel, so how could he possibly harm Concubine Shu? I ask Your Majesty to be aware of this and give you justice."

Xu Tingyue's heart plummeted. What she couldn't figure out at first was instantly understood.

She asked how could Zhu Ci surrender to her if he was so good. She must have discovered early on that there was something wrong with the Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder sent by Lu Cairen, so she set up such a vicious trap with Concubine Bai.

Lu Cairen, this idiot, who allowed her to do things without authorization? ! It was not harming Zhu Ci, but it was harming her.

Sensing Shen Que's gaze, Xu Tingyue's face turned pale.

"How could it be from Lucai? Why did she want to harm Zhu Yunv? Why didn't you tell her earlier, but now you tell her? Who knows whether what you said is true or false, maybe you colluded with your master It’s not impossible to do well.”

"Because I thought that my master would defend me, but I never thought that my master would refuse to say that it was a gift from Lu Cai. I really can't bear to see my master being wronged, and I can't bear to see Concubine Shu suffer an unreasonable disaster in vain."

Cui Lan raised her arm to wipe her tears, stretched out her hand and swore to the sky: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If there is even half a lie, I will go to tongue pulling hell."

"Hey, although Lucai is a bit arrogant, his character is not bad. Now that he is pregnant with the emperor, he is even more blessed. How could he do such a thing."

Yang Yunxi shook her head and sighed. "It's true that you know people but don't know their hearts. I don't know where Lu Cairen learned this insidious trick."

"I knew that Sister Zhu would not do such a thing. The Lucai people must have been jealous that Sister Zhu was favored by the emperor's brother, so they poisoned her to disfigure Sister Zhu. Who knew that Sister Zhu would give the things to Shu? Concubine."

Yan Qingshu was so angry that she ran to Shen Que with a small face and tugged on his sleeve.

"Brother Emperor, Sister Zhu has suffered a great injustice. You must uphold justice for Sister Zhu and punish the bad guys severely."

Shen Que didn't expect that things would turn around, so why didn't she explain just now? If she had explained, he wouldn't have said such harsh words.

"The most taboo thing in the palace is the use of poisonous witchcraft. I didn't expect anyone to knowingly do this!"

Hua Jingyun's tone was low. If something like this happened in the harem, it can only be said that she, as a queen, has no virtue and cannot control the people in the harem well. I don’t know what the emperor will think of her.

"Yuyun, why don't you tell the truth quickly? Why did the Lucai people send you here? If you still insist on not saying anything, I can't protect you and can only send you to the violence room."

"My slave said, my slave said." When faced with loyalty or life, Yuyun of course chose her own life.

She didn't want to go to a place like a violent room, which was simply not a place for human beings. It wasn't her idea, so she was helpless.

"The emperor used to visit the master every two days every three days, but since Zhu Yunu moved in, the emperor has stayed in Yuehua Palace. The master was jealous that Zhu Yunu could always accompany the emperor, so he asked someone to buy it from outside the palace. Snake grass is mixed into Peach Blossom Jade Face Powder, and if used, it will damage the skin and leave terrible scars."

Yuyun cried so hard that her whole body twitched, "I am really scared. The Lucai people threatened me with my life. If I dare to say even half a word, I will kill me. That's why when the emperor asked me just now, I didn't dare to tell the truth."
