Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 102 Falling into a Trap
"Xiaguan originally brought a three-tailed civet cat to visit the queen. Unfortunately, the queen was not in the palace, so Xiaguan had to wait outside the door. It may be because he was not acclimatized when he first arrived in Beiyan Kingdom. After waiting for a while, Xiaguan Feeling a stomachache, I asked my aunt in the palace to borrow the hut in the palace, and asked my aunt to take care of the three-tailed civet. But who knows..."

He deliberately paused, and then said: "But who knows, when the official came back, he saw that the three-tailed civet had been poisoned and died in the cage..."

He was very indignant and excited: "My queen, I was ordered to come here to offer cats. I have traveled thousands of miles and sincerely. I never thought that such a regretful thing would happen. How can I explain to my queen when I go back? How can I explain to the queen mother? I also hope that the empress queen will hand over the real culprit and give the next official an explanation!"

Aunt Qing He heard the words, and immediately argued: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! The slave really did not poison, the slave just followed the envoy's order, and fed some water to the three-tailed civet. The slave didn't know what was going on, but the civet suddenly It was poisoned. The servant really did not poison, the servant was wronged!"

Hearing this, Feng Qian's heart is like a mirror, and she has seen everything.

This is clearly a trap!
It was a trap set by Princess Lanxin's joint envoys!

She just taught Princess Lan Xin's subordinates a lesson, and now Princess Lan Xin is turning to her subordinates to take revenge on her!

This move is too ruthless!
The three-tailed civet was fine in the hands of the envoy, but it was poisoned to death in the hands of Aunt Qing He. No matter how much Aunt Qing He argued, she couldn't get rid of the suspicion!

A seamless plan!
"Empress Dowager, I already know what happened. Since the matter happened in the harem, and I am in charge of the Phoenix Seal, I am in charge of all matters in the harem. Regarding this matter, I am duty-bound to investigate this matter thoroughly! "Feng Qian said calmly.

She knew in her heart that the most important thing right now was to firmly hold the trial right in her hands, so that she would have time to slowly investigate the truth of the matter.

She could think of this, and Princess Lan Xin could also think of it, how could she let the queen judge her maid by herself?
Princess Lan Xin immediately said: "Don't bother the queen, we have already invited a more suitable person to try this case."

After the words fell, a eunuch came to report outside the door: "Queen Mother, Mr. Li from Mu Tianfu is here."

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Please."

Mu Tianfu?
Feng Qian frowned, suddenly felt something bad, did they want to...

Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to catch the flashing smile on Princess Lan Xin's face, and her heart sank suddenly, it seemed that things were exactly as she expected.

Not long after, a young man in a green robe and brocade robe came in, followed by four people dressed as yamen servants, who looked arrogant and majestic.

Walking in front of the Empress Dowager, the young man cupped his hands and bowed, "My subordinate Li Zonghan, under the order of Mr. Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, came to investigate the poisoning and murder of the three-tailed civet!"

Seeing that the person who came was her own brother, Qi Mei immediately got up with confidence and said, "Brother, you came just in time!"

She pointed to Aunt Qing He and said, "She is the murderer who poisoned the three-tailed civet, you should take her to Mutian Mansion for interrogation and investigation!"

Pointing to the other court ladies: "And they are her accomplices! Arrest them too!"

Feng Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, and couldn't help but sneer, it turned out that the people who designed this trap were not only Princess Lan Xin, but also Qi Meiren, and they joined forces to take revenge on her!
It took only such a short time for the incident to happen, and the people from Mutianfu rushed over, obviously it was premeditated early in the morning.

With a gloomy face, Li Zonghan shouted: "Come here, take down all the suspects!"

The four yamen guards behind him were about to attack, Feng Qian sternly shouted: "Who dares?"

The four yamen servants paused and stopped.

Feng Qian snorted coldly: "This is the harem, and I have the final say on the affairs of the harem. When will it be your turn to point fingers from Mutianfu?"

Li Zonghan is not a good person either, he smiled lowly, neither humble nor overbearing: "Queen, it is true that it is not Mu Tianfu's turn to intervene in the affairs of the harem, but the civet is the Queen Mother's life-saving thing. If the civet poisoning is not discovered in time, the danger can be serious It is the Queen Mother's life. Matters involving human life are related to Mu Tianfu. Who can determine whether the target of the poisoner is the civet cat or the Queen Mother? In addition, this matter involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Mu Tianfu is duty bound !"

"You..." Feng Qian gritted her teeth, but underestimated this person. She could turn red lips and white teeth, turn right and wrong, and in a few words, turn the trivial matter of poisoning the civet to death into a major matter of poisoning the empress dowager and destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ah!
Princess Lan Xin and Qi Meiren exchanged glances, and Qi Qi smiled triumphantly.

Everything is in their plan!

Provoking the relationship between the Queen and the Queen Mother is the first step, getting Mu Tianfu to step forward is the second step, and as for the third step...

Princess Lan Xin smiled coldly, the fun is yet to come!
When the Queen Mother heard what Li Zonghan said, she became even more annoyed. She slapped the table hard, stared at Aunt Qing He and asked, "Say, who ordered you? Is your purpose to harm the Ai family?"

Aunt Qing He kowtowed again and again, and said in panic: "Queen, I am wronged! This servant really did not poison the Queen Mother, let alone dare to harm the Queen Mother, this servant is wronged!"

A hint of sinisterness flashed across Li Zonghan's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Queen Mother, please allow me to bring all the maids of Weiyang Palace back to Mutian Mansion for interrogation. I have my own way to let them recruit the person behind the scenes!"

When Aunt Qing He and the others heard that they were going to Mutian Mansion, they all turned pale and trembled with fright.

"Your Majesty, save us!"

"Miss!"

Feng Qian was angry from it, wasn't the so-called mastermind behind the scenes referring to her?

The so-called interrogation was just a trick of torture, forcing the maids to confess that she was the one who wanted to assassinate the Empress Dowager!

Their trick is really insidious!
Before the Queen Mother was about to speak, Feng Qian said first: "Queen Mother, this matter is too strange. I suggest that you first report this matter to the King, and the King will make a decision!"

She believed that with Xuanyuanche's wisdom, she would definitely be innocent.

However, Princess Lyceum didn't give her a chance at all.

"The king takes care of everything every day, how can he manage such trivial matters? Sister queen, you are too fussy!"

"That's right! There are so many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace. If everyone commits a crime and the king has to come up to make a decision, wouldn't the king be exhausted to death?" This matter will be handled by Mu Tianfu, with my eldest brother's efficiency, within half a day, we will definitely be able to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

When the queen mother heard the words, she felt that it was reasonable, she nodded and said: "You are right, the king is always busy with affairs in the court, so how can he have time to take care of the affairs of the harem? This matter is for the family to decide. I will hand it over to the people of Mu Tianfu for trial, and I must check it out for the Ai family!"
