The queen is fierce and cute

Chapter 156 Scapegoat

Even if Zhao Zhi didn't say anything, just looking at the regretful expression on his face, Su Jing'an could probably guess what he was thinking.

Thinking of the way he treated himself, and looking at the three palace servants who are now being tortured and interrogated, Su Jingan reckoned that someone approached Zhao Zhi and told him not to torture her, so she was spared.

I don't know if this person is the Seventh Prince, Concubine Yao, or...someone else.

Under torture, they couldn't get anything out of the mouths of the three palace servants. Su Jing'an sat on the stool and was 'forced' to watch the interrogation of the people in the torture room.

"Take her down." Seeing that he couldn't be frightened, Zhao Zhi lost interest, waved his hand, and the palace servants stepped forward to bring Su Jing'an back into the room.

Sitting against the wall, Su Jingan thought for a while, took out a little cotton from her clothes, stuffed it into her ears, closed her eyes, she needed to sleep for a while.

After a while, she fell asleep. During this period, there were knocks on the door, screams, and the sound of rats running around. Because she had cotton stuffed in her ears, it didn't affect her too much.

This time, she slept until dawn, and her old habits still affected her.

The cotton in his ears was taken out, and the screams followed. This night, the torture room was not idle, and palace servants from Yongning Palace were brought in for interrogation.

"Since someone is attacking Concubine Li, how could there be no useful clues at all?" Inside Yikun Palace, Concubine Tian Guifei sat at the table, frowning and looking at Chunxia.

"Please forgive me, my lord. It's useless to be a slave." Although some clues were collected, they were really of little use.

On the day of Concubine Li's accident, there were too many people who went to Yongning Palace, even if they went to screen each one, it would take a lot of time.

But if it drags on for too long, the emperor will definitely be unhappy.

In Chunxia's heart, she was also very anxious, but this was not something that could be solved in a hurry.

"Where's that girl? Is she dead?" Just last night, dozens of corpses were sent out of the execution room. Concubine Tian Gui guessed whether Jing'an was among them.

"Returning to your mother, Jing An is still alive. It seems that someone went to find Zhao Zhi and told him not to punish Jing An."

Chun Xia had inquired about this matter before, so she knew, and when she heard Concubine Tian Gui asked, she quickly responded.

"Oh? Who is it? The fifth princess?" Tian Guifei knew that the fifth princess had a good relationship with Jing An.

"It's Concubine Yao, and it must be for the Fifth Princess." Whether it's Concubine Yao or the Fifth Princess, Zhao Zhi can't afford to offend.

"That girl has a lot of life, that's all right, you hurry up, tomorrow is the deadline, even if you can't find it, you have to find a scapegoat for me!"

Concubine Tian Gui gave such instructions, and Chunxia hurriedly responded and left Yikun Palace.

She had no idea on her side, but on Pei Junyi's side, she roughly figured it out. She called Yuan Bao over and asked him to find a way to send all the evidence to Concubine Tian Gui for her to deal with.

Yuan Bao got the order to make arrangements, and in the afternoon, Chun Xia had a clue.

As if something had happened suddenly, one thing after another came out, and finally the missing maid of Yongning Palace was found. The most incredible thing is that she is still alive.

It can be said that she is the only witness. Chun Xia hastily interrogated, and then consolidated all the evidence and sent it to Concubine Tian Gui.

"So, it's the maid in Yongning Palace who was jealous, so she attacked the master? Do you really believe it?"

After listening to everything, Tian Guifei sneered, she is so shrewd, how can she not see the tricks?
"Your Majesty, it's like this now, why do you believe it or not? If you continue to investigate, there may not be any results. It's better to make a round, so that you can return to the emperor."
