Queen is fearless

Chapter 376
"Sister Lian, don't think too much. The empress will ask you like that. It's definitely not that she doesn't trust you. She's just worried that you are young and that you will go astray."

Coming out of Fengyang Palace, Jiang Zhaohua comforted Lian Xiuyi, who nodded without speaking.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Zhaohua couldn't help but sighed, "Then I will leave first, and you can go back to Yongning Palace to rest."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhaohua supported Zhishu's hand and got into the sedan chair. She glanced at Lian Xiuyi worriedly, and then ordered the sedan chair to go back to Zhaochun Palace.

Seeing Jiang Zhaohua walk away, even Xiuyi got into the sedan chair and headed for Yongning Palace.

Originally, Jiang Zhaohua and Lian Xiuyi stayed in Fengyang Palace, talking to the queen, but they didn't want the emperor to come back suddenly, so they had to leave first.

"Your Majesty, tell me... because of this incident, will there be any gap between Empress Empress and Lian Xiuyi?"

On the way back to Yongchun Palace, Zhishu asked Jiang Zhaohua who was sitting in the sedan chair.

"Hey, who knows? Although Bengong is helping the empress to defend, if I were to ask such a straightforward question, I would definitely be sad."

"But speaking of it, it's no wonder the empress is so skeptical. In the past, there had never been any Gu worms in the palace. Since the newcomers entered the palace last year, a lot of things have happened."

"Of the three people who entered the palace, Wen and Xia are gone, only Lian Xiuyi is left. It is inevitable that she will think of her. The empress also said just now that there was a Gu worm on Wen's body before. Concubine Dong is now..."

Jiang Zhaohua's heart suddenly flashed what Lian Xiuyi said to her, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Perhaps, the queen's suspicion is true, but Lian Xiuyi doesn't admit it."

No matter what you say about this matter, it makes people feel headache, Jiang Zhaohua frowned, not knowing what to do?
"Let's wait and see, if we can find that little maid, then maybe the truth will come to light."

Sighing, Jiang Zhaohua leaned back on the sedan chair, frowning slightly.

Lian Xiuyi's sedan chair fell outside Yongning Palace, and she walked towards Yongning Palace without saying a word.

There was no expression on her face, and the people around her couldn't tell what Lian Xiuyi was feeling at this moment.
"You all go out." After entering the main hall, after giving an order, Lian Xiuyi walked towards the inner room.

The little maid Ning Cui climbed into the inner room from the back window of the inner room, and is currently hiding under the bed in the inner room.

Immediately after the empress gave the order, someone searched the palace. Ning Cui probably guessed it, so she went into the inner room and hid under the bed.

In this way, even if someone searches for Yongning Palace, for Lian Xiuyi's sake, maybe he won't search too carefully, and he can escape.

Lian Xiuyi sat on the chair and poured herself a glass of water. Ning Cui under the bed heard the voice and couldn't help but get nervous. She didn't know who it was.

"Come out." The voice came suddenly, Ning Cui was startled, and after careful identification, it was Lian Xiuyi's voice, and she quickly rolled and crawled out from under the bed.

"Your Majesty, the servant has been exposed, what should I do now?" Kneeling on the ground, Ning Cui looked at Lian Xiuyi, very panicked.

"Let's expose it, let's expose it, what else can I do?" He spoke in a flat tone, and Lian Xiuyi's voice could not hear any joy or anger.

She held the cup, took a sip of water, then put the cup down, picked up the other one, and poured a glass of water.

"Get up, have you been hiding here for a long time? Drink some water first, thinking of something."

Picking up the water glass and handing it to Ning Cui, Lian Xiuyi motioned her to sit on a chair beside her.

Ning Cui hesitated for a moment, answered, then stood up, took the cup from Lian Xiuyi's hand, she was indeed thirsty, "Thank you Lian Xiuyi."

Originally thought that Lian Xiuyi would kill people to silence her, but looking at it now, it seemed that she was worrying too much, maybe she could come up with a good way to settle herself down.

Drinking all the water in the glass, Ning Cui comforted herself in her heart.

"Would you like to drink more?" Seeing that she had finished drinking, Lian Xiuyi asked, Ning Cui shook her head, holding the cup, but did not dare to sit down.

Even Xiu Yi was not reluctant, she looked at Ning Cui, "What are your plans now?"

"The servants are all up to the empress, and Yongchun Palace will definitely not be able to go back. Right now, I am afraid that Pearl will send people to look for the servants everywhere, and maybe he will ask the empress to search for the servants in the palace."

"Once the servant is caught, he will definitely be interrogated. I'm afraid...at that time, even if the servant wants to keep his mouth shut, he won't be able to do so."

Looking at Lian Xiuyi, Ning Cui tentatively opened her mouth. She put down the cup and waited for Lian Xiuyi to speak.

Although it was Lian Xiuyi who rescued her who was about to die from illness before, but during this time, he has been helping Lian Xiuyi with his affairs, and if the two offset it, it should offset her kindness in saving him.

Especially now, because he was helping her, he was in such a situation.

If she doesn't want to be implicated, she should find a way to rescue herself from the crisis, so that she can be kept.

Of course, she can also silence herself, but... she is not unprepared, someone will definitely find Yongning Palace, and at that time, she will definitely be speechless.

"Keep it secret, you can do it." Lian Xiuyi looked at her with a slight smile on her face.

Seeing her like this, Ning Cui couldn't help feeling a little nervous, "What do you mean by your mother's words?"

"Your Majesty, this servant will not hide from you. In order to prevent you from killing this servant, I have made preparations before coming here. Sooner or later, someone will see the imprint left by this servant and come to Yongning Palace. If you do anything to this servant, I'm afraid you can't get rid of it yourself!"

Breathing a little faster, Ning Cui stared at Lian Xiuyi and said threatening words.

"No, you're wrong. It's not what I do to you, but what you do to me."

"Do you feel that you are very anxious now? Everything you see in front of you has changed?"

The smile on Lian Xiuyi's face deepened, but Ning Cui's complexion became ugly, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

"You...you poisoned me?" Pointing at Lian Xiuyi, there was no such thing as a maidservant, and even the address became you and me.

"If you don't count on me, I can let you leave the palace safely, but you have to be smart, of course I can't tolerate you."

"It's just right, the Empress suspects Bengong, so you can help Bengong dispel the empress' doubts."

While talking, Lian Xiuyi stood up, took out a dagger from under the dressing table, and handed it to Ning Cui, "Don't worry, in the end, you will die without pain."

Ning Cui felt that her body was no longer her own, even if she didn't want to take over the dagger, she still held it in her hand and slashed at Lian Xiuyi.

On her arm, blood gushed out immediately, making Lian Xiuyi frown.

"Come on, go ahead and attack Bengong..."
