Queen is fearless

Chapter 224 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Because she was afraid that Qiuyue would tell the truth, Dongqing wanted to use poison to kill 'Qiuyue' in the middle of the night.

However, when her hand was resting on 'Qiuyue', the light in the outer room suddenly turned on, and 'Qiuyue' on the bed grabbed her arm.

Dongqing's hand trembled, and the poison was spilled on the bed. She realized that she had been fooled.

It turned out that everything during the day was false, and what the master heard in Fengyang Palace was also false.

At this moment, Dongqing understood that she was not the only one who would be unlucky if she was caught, so she made a decisive decision...

"Oops!" The person on the bed was not the little palace maid pretending to be Qiuyue during the day, she was Bai Zhi, and because she had some skills, she was asked to grab Dongqing.

Dongqing's actions made Bai Zhi realize that she might commit suicide, and when she stretched out her hand to pinch her chin, it was a step too late.

In the root of Holly's tooth, there is a poison sac hidden, so as not to be caught at critical times.

After realizing that she had been fooled, she bit the poison sac, and the poison melted in the mouth, killing people in an instant.

When the people in the outer room entered the inner room, Holly had already fallen to the ground, her face was dark and she was breathless.

"Take precautions, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!" Bai Zhi and the others grew up in the Gu residence, and they only heard about things like hiding poison in the roots of their teeth from storytellers.

Unexpectedly, such a thing really existed, and it happened right in front of them.

"What should we do now?" If Dongqing was alive, Wen Xiuyuan could be found out by interrogating her.

But now that Dongqing is dead, there is no proof. As long as Wen Xiuyuan refuses to admit anything, no one can do anything about her.

"Return to your mother tomorrow morning, what else can I do?" Qingluan said, looking at Dongqing on the ground, she was so angry that she raised her foot and kicked it.

Holly is dead, don't say it, even if it is a hundred times, there will be no reaction.

After ordering someone to dispose of the corpse, Qing Luan and Bai Zhi spent the night in the palace pavilion, and when it was daylight, they returned to Fengyang Palace together.

"Holly..." Wen Xiuyuan opened her eyes, probably because she had something on her mind, and she didn't sleep well that night.

Guessing that Dongqing had already returned, Wen Xiuyuan called out to say hello, but got no response.

She frowned, sat up, and called out again, but there was still no answer.

Getting up from the bed, she put on her middle coat and walked towards the outer room, but there was no one in the outer room.

"Is it convenient to go?" People have three urgencies. The master wants to be convenient, but he can stay in the house, but the slaves can't. She thought, wait a while, and then find Dongqing.

In a blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no movement. Wen Xiuyuan felt uneasy in her heart, and greeted outside a few times.

Soon, there was a reply, and a palace official came in and saluted her.

"Where is Dongqing?" Dongqing is the only one around her most often, after all, she can be trusted, so she can order anything.

"Returning to your mother, the servant did not see Dongqing." The little maid blessed her body and responded to her.

"It's strange... Could it be..." Wen Xiuyuan's heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that Dongqing is in danger, she shouldn't!

Thinking in this way, she ordered the palace servants to wait for her to wash and change her clothes, and the palace servants responded, calling for people to prepare things and change her clothes and freshen up for her.

Everything was packed, and Dongqing still didn't come back. Wen Xiuyuan felt more and more uneasy. She was sure that something must have happened to Dongqing.

It's just that she didn't know whose hands she fell into, or if something else happened.

"Send someone to look for Dongqing. Where can she go this early in the morning?" Wen Xiuyuan is very sure that Dongqing left Zhongcui Palace last night, but this matter must not be known to others.

After receiving the order, the palace people of Zhongcui Palace dispatched to find Dongqing's whereabouts.

In the harem, Wen Xiuyuan was not the only one who woke up early, Jiang Zhaohua also woke up quite early.

After all, she basically handles all the big and small matters in the harem nowadays, so she naturally has to get up early and go to the various palaces to check in person.

So, I found out that Wen Xiuyuan had sent someone to look for Dongqing.

"It seems that the queen's net cast a net and caught a small fish." A role like Dongqing can only be regarded as a small fish.

"I'm afraid it won't work if we only catch Dongqing." Zhishu followed Jiang Zhaohua, listened to his master, and responded to his own opinion.

"It's really not possible, but Dongqing must be Wen Xiuyuan's confidant. It would be good to break Wen Xiuyuan's wings."

Smiling and speaking, Jiang Zhaohua was still very happy in his heart.

"The empress is about to give birth, and it will be safer if there are fewer troubles." Continuing to walk forward, Jiang Zhaohua told Zhishu, "Send someone to keep an eye on Yongchun Palace, Zhongcui Palace, and watch it too. Lin's This matter, I don’t want it to happen again.”

Apparently before, she sent someone to watch Qingqiu Pavilion, but still let Lin and Qiuyue have such a thing, Jiang Zhaohua felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be absolutely no mistakes this time." Zhishu quickly responded, and continued to follow Jiang Zhaohua, inspecting various palaces.

When Gu Jinzhi woke up, Zhou Jing had already gone to court, and there was no news from the border gate, so I don't know what happened?

Wei Yi has been walking for a while, and now, he still can't reach the border. Thinking of this, it can't help but make people anxious.

Taking a few deep breaths to drive out all those negative thoughts from his heart, Gu Jinzhi rubbed his stomach and greeted him.

When Qingluan and the others entered the house and waited for Gu Jinzhi to wash up, they reported to her what happened last night.

"I beg your forgiveness, the servants never thought that such a thing would really happen."

Speaking of what happened last night, Qingluan was so angry that it was only a little bit short!
"I don't blame you, we have never encountered such a thing, how could we expect it?"

Comforting Qingluan and the others, Gu Jinzhi sighed, it is indeed a pity that Dongqing died.

"What's the news over at Zhongcui Palace?" Dongqing was dead, so she must not be able to go back. Wen Xiuyuan should have a response.

"The palace people of Zhongcui Palace are looking for Dongqing." Qingluan sent someone to inquire about it, and she would say it even if Gu Jinzhi didn't ask.

"Send Dongqing's body to Zhongcui Palace and see how she reacts." After thinking about it, Gu Jinzhi ordered.

Since, the live Holly was not caught, let the dead Holly play a role, and it must not die in vain, anyway... let's make an example of it, right?
"Yes." Qingluan replied, and handed everything over to Ziyuan. He brought Dongqing's body to Zhongcui Palace with only his people.

Wen Xiuyuan was having breakfast, and Dongqing's disappearance made her lose her appetite.

Hearing that the people from Fengyang Palace were coming, she gave an order and watched Qingluan lead the people to carry something into the palace.

Holly's body was wrapped in something, so it was hard to tell from the outside.

Seeing Qingluan ordering people to put the 'thing' brought in on the ground, Wen Xiuyuan looked puzzled, "What is this?"
