Rebirth of the fire-baked concubine

Chapter 194 Scapegoat
"Empress, what do you have to say now? Both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the imperial concubine said that it was handed over to you after careful inspection. Why are there blood-sucking worms in the bedding now?!"

Dongfang Chen's voice was very calm, but for no reason, it made people's backs shiver, like a calm and turbulent river, feeling that there would be man-eating beasts rushing out of the water at any moment.

Behind Yun Xiyao, the eyes of a maidservant in pink flickered violently, then she plopped down on her knees, "Report to the emperor, yesterday the quilt was picked up by my servant from Sister Mingyue, and this morning it was also delivered by my servant, it has nothing to do with your empress. .”

Dongfang Chen's cold eyes turned to Bingling suddenly, and his voice suddenly turned cold, "Then tell me, why are there blood-sucking insects in the bedding?"

"Slave... I don't know. After I received the quilt, it was getting late and I had to serve my mother for dinner, so I put it down temporarily. Before it was delivered this morning, it was fine." Bingling said as she went up and down. Teeth chattering.

She knew in her heart that among those who had touched that set of bedding back and forth, she was the most suspected.When the quilt was handed over to her, she had already checked it, and there was no problem, so she couldn't rely on others; then, the quilt was left in her hand for a night, and she had time to do it in terms of time; more importantly What's more, it was rumored in the capital that the empress had harmed her own sister and sat on the empress throne, and she didn't want to let the former empress's mother, brother, and sister go. So, from this point of view, her motive was the biggest.

By the way, she still has a chance to shirk...

Bingling's expression became firm in an instant, and her voice became much calmer and calmer, "... Your Majesty, when the servant brought the quilt here, it was Miss Qingqing who picked it up. After she was sure it was correct, the servant left."

Qingqing behind Yun Jingchu's face turned pale, and also knelt down with a plop, "Slave... Slave..."

Qingqing wanted to make an excuse, but her lips trembled, her tongue seemed to be disobedient, she glanced at Yun Xiyao's direction timidly, her lips trembled even more, her face became paler and more terrifying, finally, Nothing came out.

Yun Jingchu sneered, she should have thought a long time ago that the people in Jingshu Palace should all belong to the queen, how dare she say a word that is not good for the queen.However, it was precisely because of this that Dongfang Chen could understand that Yun Xiyao was behind the scenes.Because Dongfang Chen knows better than anyone else that the people in Jingshu Palace belong to whom.

Sure enough, Dongfang Chen smiled coldly, staring fixedly at the top of Gentle's head, and said in a harsh voice, "So, you have pleaded guilty?"

"No..." Qingqing trembled, raised her head and subconsciously wanted to refute, but when she raised her head, she saw the queen's eyes looking over her, her expression unchanged, but her eyes suddenly became deep and cold, and she shivered in fright. Hastily crouched down again, "Yes, slave girl pleads guilty!"

"What a tricky girl!" Dongfang Chen sneered, his cold eyes turned around Yun Xiyao's face as if there was nothing, Yun Xiyao lowered her eyebrows, as if she didn't notice, Dongfang Chen The smile on the corner of his lips became colder, and he looked at Qingqing again, "Then, who is responsible for you?"

Qingqing trembled her lips, beads of sweat slipped from her forehead, and the expression on her face was extremely complicated and painful. In the end, she closed her eyes in despair, "...No one is in charge, it is the idea of ​​the servant alone."
