Queen is fearless

Chapter 225
"Slave send greetings to Wen Xiuyuan." Without directly answering Wen Xiuyuan's question, Qingluan smiled and saluted Wen Xiuyuan respectfully as usual.

She was like this, which made Wen Xiuyuan's heart even more uncertain. She forced a smile, avoided Qingluan's gift, and repeated what she had just said.

"What is this thing? If Wen Xiuyuan did it herself, wouldn't you know it after taking it apart?"

With the smile still on her face, Qingluan spoke again. When she said this, Wen Xiuyuan frowned slightly.

"You two, take this thing apart." Sitting at the table, Wen Xiuyuan stretched out her hand, pointed at the two palace servants, and ordered them to take it apart.

As Xiu Yuan, who was personally appointed by the emperor, there is no need to do this kind of thing by herself.

What's more, I don't know what it is, what if it's something bad?

At this moment, Wen Xiuyuan's guess is quite accurate, the thing lying on the ground is indeed a bad 'thing'.

Obtaining her orders, the two palace servants untied the rope tied outside, and then pushed the rolled 'thing' aside, revealing the holly wrapped inside.

Suddenly, there was a sound of exclamation, Wen Xiuyuan's face was ashen, looking at the dead Holly on the ground, she suddenly turned her head and vomited.

It's not that she has never seen a dead person before. Dongqing's death had a great impact on her.

Qingluan stood aside, the smile on her face had disappeared, she looked at Wen Xiuyuan who kept vomiting, and said in a cold voice.

"The maid sent Dongqing back to Wen Xiuyuan, and asked Wen Xiuyuan to do it for herself."

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand, turned and left with the palace servants.

Wen Xiuyuan was still vomiting, and it took a while to stop vomiting. She turned her head and stared at the direction Qingluan was leaving, her eyes were full of cruelty.

"Your Majesty..." In the hall, the palace servants asked Wen Xiuyuan's intentions with a look of panic.

"Send Dongqing out of the palace, let's have a proper burial." Wen Xiuyuan said fiercely, and Wen Xiuyuan's gaze shifted to Dongqing's face. Her lips were dark, obviously poisoned to death.

Wen Xiuyuan knew that there was a poisonous sac hidden in Dongqing's tooth root. It seemed that Dongqing bit the poisonous sac to save herself and committed suicide.

Everything yesterday was just a play, a play to get myself into the game, the empress...it was not as useless as she thought.

There was a fire burning in Wen Xiuyuan's heart, and reason told her that she had to endure everything at the moment.

Holly died, her wings were broken, and if she wanted to do anything, she had to make a long-term plan.

Clenching her fist, her nails were embedded in her flesh. The pain made Wen Xiuyuan engrave everything that happened today in her heart.

The palace servants rolled up Dongqing again and sent it out of the palace. Because of Wen Xiuyuan's orders, they found a place in the mass grave and buried it.

Gu Jinzhi knew all of this, she didn't say much, everything between Wen Xiuyuan and Wen Xiuyuan had just begun, Dongqing's death was just an appetizer.

"Instruct the Dianzhong Province to continue preparing for Jiang Zhaohua's canonization ceremony. I looked through it. The first day of February is a good day."

It was approaching the end of January, and the Dianzhong Province had almost prepared for it before. If we continue now, it can be fully prepared before the first day of February.

Holly's death was like throwing a stone into the water, but there were small ripples that quickly dissipated, and no one took it to heart at all.

Everything in the harem is still going on, those who are grounded are still grounded, and those who keep themselves safe are still safe.

Only Wen Xiuyuan felt unwilling, but right now, Holly was gone, and she lacked assistance, she was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out, nothing to fear.

The queen ordered Dian Zhongsheng to continue preparing for the canonization ceremony, so that Wen Xiuyuan could understand that she had been played around all along.

Of course, she sometimes caught the queen by surprise, but... because of her self-righteousness, she missed the best opportunity.

Thinking of everything that happened during this period of time, and thinking of Dongqing's death, Wen Xiuyuan felt that her face hurt, and all of this was given by the queen.

Two days after ordering Dianzhong Province to continue preparations for Jiang Zhaohua's canonization ceremony, Gu Jinzhi delivered another decree that the noble concubine of Jin Lian was the third-rank concubine to repair the ceremony.

In addition to her, some senior concubines in the harem also received Jin titles.

This was originally supposed to be announced at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, but a lot of things happened on New Year's Eve, so the decree of sealing the harem was suppressed for the time being.

At this time, the empress deliberately sealed off the harem. The purpose, of course, was to tell Wen Xiuyuan that she was not the only one who was smart in the harem.

Even if she is not slippery and not easy to be caught, there will always be times when she will suffer.

For a moment, the harem was full of joy, and everyone was grateful for the queen's kindness.

On the first day of February, it was Jiang Zhaohua's canonization ceremony. After receiving the decree and performing the canonization ceremony, Jiang Zhaohua came to Fengyang Palace and kowtowed to Gu Jinzhi.

This is considered a rule. After the Jin Feng ceremony, it is considered a ceremony to kowtow to the queen.

"Get up quickly." Seeing Jiang Zhaohua finished kowtow, Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, this ceremony is unavoidable and must be done.

After getting up, Jiang Zhaohua sat down. It had been a long time since that incident happened, and she hadn't been able to talk to the empress as before.

"Sitting here now, my concubine feels a little emotional." Jiang Zhaohua said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"I have wronged you for the previous incident." In order to numb Wen Xiuyuan, Gu Jinzhi deliberately ignored Jiang Zhaohua, pretending to loathe Jiang Zhaohua.

"Unfortunately, only Dongqing was solved." Gu Jinzhi and Jiang Zhaohua had the same idea, and both felt that Wen Xiuyuan had a problem, and it was a big problem.

But Wen Xiuyuan is good at disguising, no matter what she does, she cleans it up very cleanly. It is not easy to catch her directly.

Originally, Gu Jinzhi wanted to numb Wen Xiuyuan and let her relax her guard so that she could do more things. Only in this way could she catch her revealing feet.

Unexpectedly, only one Holly was picked out, and until now, Qiuyue has no intention of waking up.

Yunniang showed it to her, even if she woke up, she might not be able to give the answer Gu Jinzhi wanted.

"Being able to do things for the empress, the concubine is not wronged at all. Speaking of which, even your concubine... should be called Lian Xiuyi. The empress seems to take good care of her."

Lian Xiuyi saved the empress and discovered the matter of the hand stove. Jiang Zhaohua knew all of this. She had observed Lian Xiuyi and found that she looked at the empress differently from others.

"After all, I have helped Ben Gong, and the only thing I can give her is a position." After Jiang Zhaohua finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile.

"For concubines, it's a good thing to have one more person attached to the empress. After the canonization ceremony, I would like to ask Lian Xiuyi to help the concubine take care of the affairs of the harem."

Wen Xiuyuan's rights have been taken back, and Jiang Zhaohua is left to handle all the affairs of the harem, which is really hard work.

"After that, I will give you an order." Nodding her head, Gu Jinzhi agreed. She reached out and touched her stomach, frowning slightly...
