Chapter 40
"What went wrong?" The sixth princess murmured these words repeatedly. If she didn't find out what went wrong, then she must be responsible for it, right?The sixth princess suddenly thought, "It's not me, it's not me. Someone must have tampered with me on the road to frame me!" The sixth princess looked at the concubine in horror, "Mother concubine, save me!"

With a face full of pear blossoms and rain, it can be seen that the original plan is well planned.

"Empress, such a thing must never happen in the harem, this kind of thing must be thoroughly investigated!" Concubine Xian knelt down, her tone full of sadness.

This matter was planned by her and her daughter together, in order to win the favor of Princess Luoxi and the others, so that the emperor will love her even more, and add some bargaining chips for her to become a queen in the future. It is obviously a matter under control , she didn't know what went wrong.

The queen just wanted to be disgusted when she saw it. This woman only knows how to pretend to be weak. How many people in the harem are really weak.

But she is a queen, and such a big incident at the banquet should be thoroughly investigated, otherwise she will not be able to explain to the neighboring countries, let alone the emperor, otherwise she really wants to directly put the shit basin on the heads of the concubine Xian and the sixth princess, Let's see if the emperor will love them so much.

"Who has been guarding the white fox all this time, bring them up!" The queen frowned, and she had already thought about it, no matter what happens at that time, just put the fault on the concubine Xian and the others, even if nothing can be cured For a mortal sin, a poor watchman is more than enough.

After a while, the powerful nuns beside the queen brought up the two maids. The two maids had never seen such a big battle before. They were obviously frightened and knelt on the ground trembling uncontrollably.

"Let me ask you, it's fine if you say so. Did you poison the white fox?" The queen made up her mind and asked aggressively, and the two maids trembled even more when they heard this. The words were incomplete, "Your Majesty the Empress is very careful, I...we have been...feeding the white fox with great care. The lives of slaves are cheap, and we know that white foxes are more precious than slaves, so we dare not do anything."

Animals are more expensive than life?Duanmu Yao was silent, it was true.

"Then how do you explain the death of the white fox? Foaming at the mouth and twitching limbs, this is clearly a sign of poisoning!" The queen's eyes sharpened for a moment, and the two court ladies who were already frightened were confused, and just about to raise their heads to defend themselves, they bumped into the queen. I don't know if it's a guilty conscience or something, and I stopped talking for a while, just banging my head.

"What's going on!" The queen also noticed something strange, "Speak out quickly, I will leave you as a dead body."

"I really don't know, servant girl!" The maid continued to kowtow, her originally smooth forehead was already black and blue, with blood oozing faintly.

"If you don't know, just pull it down and beat it to death with a stick!" The queen frowned, although she hated this bloody scene on her face, her mouth was merciless.

A look of unbearable flashed across Luo Xi's face, she just wanted to know why the pet that the sixth princess gave her died suddenly, but she didn't expect that someone would die because of it.

It has to be said that the queen of the Sunset Kingdom protected her very well, even in the palace, she was so coquettish, capricious and ignorant of worldly affairs.

"Empress, Empress, I remembered!" A court lady suddenly seemed to remember something, "Before the banquet started, we were called to help for a while because the palace was busy. During this time, the white fox was unguarded! Maybe someone with a heart has poisoned the white fox during this period of time!"

"Is that so?" The queen said excitedly. It would be great if she could find out who poisoned her. Anyway, it wasn't her family's influence. If she finds out whoever was poisoned, it would be a good thing for her.

"Then did you see any suspicious people when you left?"

"Suspicious person?" Seeing that the queen finally stopped saying that she would kill them, the maid felt more at ease, one maid suddenly raised her head to glance at the crowd, and looked straight at Duanmuyao.

Huh?Duanmuyao's heart was full of alarm bells, it was not a good thing to look at her at this sensitive time.

Sure enough, the more you are afraid of something, the more you are afraid. It turned out that everyone was puzzled by why the maid suddenly looked at the eldest lady of Xiangfu's family, but the maid said in the next second, "When I was leaving, I only saw this young lady nearby. It seems to be looking for something secretly."

Sneaking at your sister!This sentence erupted in the crowd like a thunderbolt on the flat ground. Everyone looked at Duan Muyao somewhat differently, and started talking about it.

Was she shot while lying down?From the beginning of the banquet to the present, she hardly had any time alone. At most, she was alone when she was away from her mother to take a breath, and she was immediately interrupted by Zhang Ting. Where did she get the time to poison.

Besides, what kind of enmity is there between her and the Sixth Princess Xianfei, is it worth spending so much effort to do such a thankless thing?

"What do you mean by that?" Duan Muyao looked coldly at the two court ladies kneeling on the ground, and his original sympathy for them turned into dross in an instant.

"We, we don't mean anything, we just happened to see it." A court lady was frightened by Duan Muyao's cold eyes and lowered her head.

"Oh?" The queen was also puzzled. She thought that the suspect would be a concubine in the harem, or another princess who was hostile to the sixth princess. There has never been any hatred, and there is no reason to poison.

"Empress Mingjian, my family Yaoyao would never do such a thing!" Duan Rou, who had been chatting with her sisters, rushed over when she heard such a big commotion. How could she not be in a hurry to frame her daughter.

"Madam Duan, don't be impatient. This matter has not been investigated yet." The queen comforted her. Just now, she received her son's sneaky gaze. Based on her understanding of him, she seemed to understand a little bit about this matter. separated.

The Queen never thought that this would be done by her son. Although she didn't know what his son's intention was, it was clear that his son's intention now was to let her continue to play tricks, and to plant Miss Duan on her .

"However, the court lady and Miss Duan have never had any enmity, and there is no reason to say that she saw Miss Duan when the incident happened." The queen explained, it seemed fair, but in every word and deed, the matter had already been discussed with Duanmu. Yao tied it firmly.

"Did Miss Duan ever be alone before the banquet?"

"Yes, but only for a while." Duan Muyao replied truthfully, since just now she has been paying close attention to the changes of everyone present, why didn't she see Xia Jie's wink.

"Only for a while?"

"Yes, Zhang Ting will come over after a while, she can testify for me." Duan Muyao nodded affirmatively, she did not expect that there would be so many things just to go to a banquet, if she had known earlier Then she definitely didn't go anywhere, and just wandered around in front of the queen.

"Miss Zhang, is that so?" The queen looked at Zhang Ting, the woman who was going to serve her husband together in the future, her eyes were slightly sharp, and the warning in her eyes was self-evident.With her status in the palace, she believed that she had the strength to make this woman who had just entered the palace obey her.
