The Queen of Fortune, please enter the palace

Chapter 680 The Ruthless God of War 17
Seeing that the palace maid was so scared, Jin Yuan walked up to her and said softly: "Don't be afraid... I heard from Lin Fu that you discovered the fire in Concubine Chen's palace. The emperor just wants to hear you tell the truth! Concubine Chen's palace... ...how did the fire start?"

"Going back to the queen... I heard that the lotus is blooming, and I wanted to go and have a look. I picked some lotus pods along the way and came back, but when I passed by the Chenfei Palace, I smelled burnt. When I got closer, I found that the Chenfei Palace was on fire, so I went to find Eunuch Lin..."

When the maid said this, she grabbed Jin Yuan's sleeve and begged in a wailing voice: "Your Majesty, the servant has nothing to do with the fire in Concubine Chen's Palace. How dare the servant set fire to Concubine Chen's Palace? Please check carefully!"

Jin Yuan patted the maid's shoulder with her hands, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, the emperor will clearly see all this and won't just wrong you..."

"Thank you queen—"

The maid seemed relieved when she heard Jin Yuan say that.

The moment she lowered her head, she concealed the dark light in her eyes.

The maid was about to leave, Zhuo Yanchong stopped her again, and said in a deep voice: "The lotus pond is a forbidden area, don't you know?"

"Slave...Slave..."

The court lady was at a loss for words, so she knelt down with a thud, and replied fearfully: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't mean to go there on purpose... Someone ordered me to go to the lotus pond, and I didn't dare to disobey, so, that's why... "

"Who ordered you to go?"

Zhuo Yan asked sharply.

"Slave... this servant is following the order of Concubine Luo..."

The maid was already trembling with fright, unable to speak.

When Jin Yuan heard her talking about Concubine Luo, she was slightly taken aback, and looked at Zhuo Yanchong suspiciously.

How could Luo Fei instruct a court lady to go to the lotus pond?

Zhuo Yanchong's expression didn't change, he just looked coldly at the court lady kneeling at his feet, until the eunuch in charge Lin Fu came here again, he said to Lin Fu lightly: "Prison this court lady first..."

Lin Fu didn't know yet, but saw that the maid was the one who told him that the Concubine Chen's Palace was on fire, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what...what's going on here?"

Zhuo Yanchong frowned and didn't answer, the maid heard this and hurriedly begged for mercy loudly: "Your Majesty, you trust this servant...The servant really has nothing to do with the fire incident..."
