Rebirth of the fire-baked concubine

Chapter 223 A crushing defeat

Outside the main hall, there was the sound of crackling boards and Cuiyan's muffled humming.

The hall was as quiet as if no one existed, and everyone held their breaths.

After a cup of tea, a young eunuch hurried in and whispered something in An Fuhai's ear.

An Fuhai looked at Dongfang Chen with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, that girl has a very hard mouth. After being knocked out three times, she is unwilling to admit her guilt, let alone reveal who is behind the scenes."

Dongfang Chen's eyes dimmed, and he didn't answer, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mother Xue who was holding Yun Xiyao's eyes flickered for a moment, she handed Yun Xiyao to the little maid next to her, then she leaned down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. "

Dongfang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said lightly, "Say it."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The servant girl saw just now that although the bracelet is made of silver, it is finely crafted. It doesn't look like something that girl should have. It must have been rewarded by some noble person. Just find out who gave the bracelet to that girl." Yes, just check to see if that girl usually collects some windfall money."

"Oh?" Dongfang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and a thought flashed across his face.

At this time, I heard the sea anemone on the ground timidly say: "Your Majesty, I know who gave the bracelet to Cuiyan, but I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenjin's face turned paler, and his hands hidden under his sleeves were tightly clasped together, and his long nails seemed to be pinched into the flesh of his palms.I wanted to say something, but finally endured it.

Something flashed in Dongfang Chen's eyes, "Since you know, then tell me?"

"My majesty, that bracelet is expensive... er, no, it was given to Cuiyan by the empress before. Cuiyan cherishes it very much, and she is reluctant to wear it at ordinary times. She only wears it on important occasions. Moreover, she often takes it out to present to Cuiyan. We show it off, so many people know where the bracelet came from." Hai Anemone's voice became lower and lower, as if very frightened.

Hearing this, everyone gasped.Yu Wendong's complexion changed drastically, and the expression on his face changed a few times.

A cold look flashed across Dongfang Chen's face, and his voice also became cold, "So, the queen ordered that girl to poison Concubine Shu?"

"Slave... I don't know." Hai Kui said with a trembling voice as she fell on the ground.

Dongfang Chen sneered, and sternly shouted: "Bold slave, you are talking nonsense! The queen rewards a slave, and you slaves can discuss and make arrangements at will. Come on, this slave is disrespectful to the queen, drag it out, and fight together!"

Hai Kui's face was pale, and she collapsed on the ground immediately, begging for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me..."

An Fuhai winked, and the two young eunuchs dragged the sea anemone away without saying a word.

Yun Xiyao's pale face suddenly became paler, a trace of despair and resentment rose from her eyes, and then disappeared, she just looked at Dongfang Chen with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Hai Kui is just telling the truth, why does the Emperor blame her? "

"It's a good thing to tell the truth." The sneer on Dongfang Chen's face became more and more intense, "Is it okay to treat me as a fool? That slave, first saw someone poisoning, and then knew that the bracelet was given by the queen, clearly implying that the queen is behind the scenes. Murderer. If it wasn't for the backing of someone behind him, how dare a little servant be so bold, and make trouble with the queen in public?! Concubine Shu, do you think I should find out what kind of unexpected money that servant has received on weekdays? Who will do the work, and what will be found?"

Yun Xiyao's face turned pale immediately.She wasn't sure what Dongfang Chen knew, she didn't know if he just suspected that Hai Kui belonged to her, or he really knew that Hai Kui belonged to him, or he even saw through everything that happened tonight.
