Queen is fearless

Chapter 223
There was a smile on Gu Jinzhi's lips, a good show is about to start, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

"Come in." With an order, her usual gentle smile returned to her face.

Qingluan walked in from outside the hall, feeling cool all over her body. It seemed that she had left Fengyang Palace for business.

Entering the palace, not far from Gu Jinzhi, Qingluan stopped and saluted the queen.

"Qi Niang Niang, the maidservant just went to the place where Qiuyue was imprisoned, and Qiuyue... is gone."

After Qingluan finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi frowned, "Didn't you say before that you can be rescued? Why suddenly..."

Wen Xiuyuan sat in her seat, thinking of what Dongqing saw just now, and after hearing Qingluan finish speaking, confusion flashed in her eyes.

Could it be that Holly's eyes were dazzled just now?Or, is there something strange about it?
"The imperial doctor said that before the autumn moon, it was the time to return to the light. When the maidservant left, she just passed her breath, so...she was already wrapped in grass and sent out of the palace."

Although the fifteenth day has passed, the first month has not yet come out, and it is not considered the end of the year. If there are any palace attendants at this time, they will be sent out of the palace in a hurry.

"It's a pity, I still want to ask a few questions." Sighing, Gu Jinzhi seemed very helpless.

Her gaze passed over Wen Xiuyuan calmly.

"Empress, it's not Lin Jieyu's matter, it's Xia Guifei's hands and feet. Why do you want to ask Qiuyue a few words? Could it be that there is something suspicious about it?"

Jiang Zhaohua spoke at the right time and asked the doubts in the hearts of the concubines present, especially Wen Xiuyuan.

"Well, I always feel that something is not right." Gu Jinzhi was very satisfied with Jiang Zhaohua's 'cooperation at the right time'.

"Concubine Xia only entered the palace last year, and she had no relationship with the Lin family before, so there is no reason to do such a cruel thing to her, so I suspect that there are other people behind the scenes."

"It's a pity that Qiuyue is gone." Sighing, Gu Jinzhi seemed a little regretful.

"Your Majesty said so, it is true. I have never heard of any conflicts between the Xia family and the Lin family before, but I heard that there was a friction between the Lin family and...Wen Xiuyuan."

Jiang Zhaohua looked at Wen Xiuyuan, smiled and said, Wen Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at her.

From Wen Xiuyuan's point of view, Jiang Zhaohua's behavior may be due to jealousy. After all, after what happened last time, the queen has alienated her.

Not only that, but he also ordered Dian Zhongsheng to suspend the preparations for the canonization ceremony. During that period, the queen often sent people to give him things, and it was inevitable that Jiang Zhaohua felt dissatisfied.

It's just that she pretends well on weekdays, but now that she has a chance, she's targeting herself.

"Bengong believes that it has nothing to do with Wen Xiuyuan. After all, she sprained her ankle because of Bengong. I'm afraid she can't do anything."

Gu Jinzhi opened his mouth to help Wen Xiuyuan out. Jiang Zhaohua looked at Wen Xiuyuan with resentment in his eyes.

"Thank you for your trust." Wen Xiuyuan stood up and saluted Gu Jinzhi, feeling proud.

She knew that the queen still believed in her, Jiang Zhaohua's behavior would only make the queen hate her even more.

"Okay, I'm tired too, you all go back." Probably because the autumn moon was gone, the queen lost her interest in continuing to enjoy the flowers, so she waved her hand and gave an order.

The queen spoke, and everyone stood up together, bowed to her, and exited the main hall one by one.

Gu Jinzhi sat at the top, watched everyone leave, looked at Qingluan again, saw her nodding at him, then picked up the water and took a sip.

Presumably, it won't be long before a fish can be caught.

After leaving Fengyang Palace, everyone left in sedan chairs according to their positions.

Looking at Jiang Zhaohua's back, Wen Xiuyuan felt that in the harem, one or two of them had no brains.

After giving an order, the sedan chair returned to Zhongcui Palace. She had to ask Dongqing what happened to Qiuyue.

Dongqing has been wandering in the hall, waiting for Wen Xiuyuan to come back.

Seeing Wen Xiuyuan enter the hall, she hurried up to greet him, and reported back to Wen Xiuyuan what she saw and heard.

"I'm still wondering, you clearly saw Qiuyue, why in Fengyang Palace, Qingluan said that Qiuyue is gone, so that's what happened."

After hearing Dongqing's words, Wen Xiuyuan squinted her eyes, not knowing what she was planning.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Now that she knew that Qiuyue was still alive, she naturally had to find a way.

Otherwise, after a few days, she will be able to speak. Isn't all planning in vain?
"Think of a way to get rid of her. Since the queen said that Qiuyue is no longer here, if you get rid of Qiuyue by hand, even if the queen wants to continue the investigation, she will not be able to continue."

"A person who has already died, how could he die a second time?" Wen Xiuyuan said with a smile, it's better not to delay, this matter should be done as soon as possible.

After receiving the order, Dongqing responded, thinking about finding an opportunity to go to the palace tonight, and ended up with Qiuyue.

"Mother, do you think Wen Xiuyuan and Dongqing will be hooked?" In Fengyang Palace, Qingluan asked Gu Jinzhi.

"If Lin's poison is related to them, there will be no problem." Gu Jinzhi replied with a smile, but he was not too worried.

It is inevitable that Wen Xiuyuan has a problem, and that Dongqing beside her is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Qiuyue, who was in a coma, occasionally called Dongqing's name. In the harem, only Wen Xiuyuan's Dongqing was the only one named Dongqing now.

Today, Dongqing, who always followed Wen Xiuyuan's side while enjoying the flowers, did not follow. It is very likely that she saw something on the road, so she followed.

Qingluan looked carefully, and although the back of the hall was cleaned up, it was still unavoidable, leaving a little mark.

"Keep it well, maybe tonight, you can close the net." Gu Jinzhi yawned, got up from the soft couch, and prepared to rest for a while.

Although picking out the fox's tail is an important thing, but taking care of the body and giving birth to the child safely is the most important thing.

In the middle of the night, the palace fell into a deep sleep. Occasionally, guards passed by on the path in the palace.

A figure sneaked into a pavilion near Fengyang Palace. She had been here during the day.

The inside of the palace was pitch black, and everyone who was here must have fallen asleep.

Since it was announced that Qiuyue was dead, there would not be too many people guarding here.

After observing around and making sure there was nothing wrong, Dongqing went to the window root where she squatted during the day, and blew the misty smoke into the house.

Except for this place, she did the same for the rest of the house, for fear that during this period, someone would wake up and cause problems.

After finishing everything, she covered her face and entered the house.

In the outer room of the house, there was a person guarding him. Because of the smoke, she was falling asleep. She entered the inner room with confidence and came to the bedside.

The person on the bed seemed to be falling asleep because of the smoke, Dongqing took out the poison from her bosom and prepared to feed it to the person on the bed.

Killing it with poison is the best way...
