Schemes in Royal Palace

"No one instructs the maidservant. Your majesty will kill him if he wants to!" Baoyun looked at death like home. She had been determined to die.

"Anhuan!" the emperor shouted. Anhuan hurried forward, "where are the slaves!"

"You take people to search every room in the palace, don't let go of any corner, you know?" the emperor confessed. An Huan took up a cup and drank it slowly.

Baoyun raised his eyes suspiciously. He had admitted that how could the emperor search the palace!

Leng Qingyan's eyes flashed. Didn't Baoyun admit it? Why did the emperor search the palace? Did he still suspect that he could not harm Princess Wu. Leng Qingyan couldn't see through the emperor's thoughts.

"Should the imperial concubine's house also be searched?" an Huan asked, looking carefully at the emperor.

The emperor glanced at him coldly. Did an Huan really have any idea about Leng Qingyan? He actually cares about Leng Qingyan today.

Leng Qingyan had a sudden heart. He didn't expect an Huan to ask so, and he didn't expect the emperor to say so next.

"An Huan, can you guarantee that the imperial concubine is not the murderer?"

An Huan choked. How could he guarantee that? Didn't the emperor embarrass him?

Leng Qingyan's eyes flashed a trace of loneliness. The emperor really doubted her! Unexpectedly, he said it in front of a room full of slaves.

"Grandpa an, the sitting end of the palace is not afraid to search. You can rest assured to search as long as you don't damage the things in the palace." Leng Qingyan said to an Huan indifferently.

Although the imperial concubine and empress said so, an Huan still hesitated. Who is the lady! That's a powerful harem woman. He's just a little eunuch. How can he offend!

An Huan looked at Leng Qingyan with ambiguous eyes. The emperor glared at him, "what are you doing? Get out of here."

An Huan stepped down. The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the maidservants and coarse women all over the room. He frowned and glanced at Baoyun's pretty face, which looked like death at home. "I hope you can tell the truth. Who is the person behind the poisoning of Princess Wu?"

"What the maidservant did alone, there was no behind the scenes." Baoyun lowered his eyebrows and eyes to hide his fear. In order to save his aunt, she didn't regret her death. Her aunt treated him like her own daughter, and her aunt was her reborn parents.

The emperor frowned deeply and asked no more. He glanced at Leng Qingyan. His eyes were full of cold. Very good. The maid insisted that she had done it herself. Leng Qingyan had won the hearts of the people in such a short time!

——

Two hours later

An Huan came back. He knelt down respectfully and gave a big gift to the emperor. He looked up carefully at the emperor and said, "report to your majesty, the servant took someone to search all the houses in the palace and found the bottle in Baoyun's house."

An Huan presented a white jade bottle inlaid with sapphire to the emperor. The emperor took the bottle and looked at it for a moment. The bottle was made of Hotan white jade. The sapphire inlaid on the bottle is also a valuable stone from the western regions. Isn't this bottle the one stolen in the palace years ago? The emperor's face was gloomy and terrible. His fingers pinching the bottle turned white. He looked up at Baoyun and asked angrily, "where did you get this bottle?"

"This is the ancestral treasure of the maidservant!" Baoyun was obviously stunned when she saw the bottle. The imperial concubine told people to put things in her room. She thought it was some powder. Unexpectedly, it was such a valuable bottle. She was scared, but she didn't dare to show half a fright. Said Zheng Zhengxin.

The emperor sneered; "Your family treasure, how can you, a cheap woman who was harmed by the snow disaster, have this treasure of tribute from the western regions?"

Baoyun's face suddenly turned pale. She stared at the bottle for a long time. She was a child born in a poor family. She had never seen such a good jade. She just didn't look carefully. It was just an ordinary bottle. What does the imperial concubine want to do? How can she have such valuable things.

Baoyun's face was a little ugly. He stole an eye at Leng Qingyan. Leng Qingyan looked calm and relaxed. She was not half flustered. She bit and broke out and said, "this bottle is given by the Lord, and the Lord is willing to give it back to his maidservants...".

The emperor's hand holding the bottle tightened little by little, and his deep eyes looked at Baoyun faintly. The little servant girl was quite beautiful. It's not too much for the king of Wu to like her to give her something, but he was a dedicated man. He said he wanted to give the daughter of the Minister of rites to him as a side imperial concubine years ago, but he didn't follow, This little servant girl is not a national beauty. Can King Wu like her?

ha-ha!

"King Wu gave it to you?" the emperor gently opened his mouth. "Do you mean that King Wu wants you to poison Princess Wu?"

"No! It's a slave, a slave for revenge!" Baoyun quickly shook his head and denied.

"Your Majesty, since this maid boldly murdered Princess Wu, it's enough to reward her with a Zhang Hong!" the cold voice sounded slowly.

The emperor turned fiercely to Leng Qingyan and said, "Princess Ai, do you want to decide for me? I haven't asked you what's urgent. Are you guilty?"

"Guilty! My concubine is guilty of what? Poison is not from my concubine!" Leng Qingyan took a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and gave Baoyun a warning look.

The emperor sneered. If you are not guilty, why are you anxious? ha-ha!

"Revenge, you want revenge, what revenge?" the emperor asked again.

"My cousin Baoju..."

Before Baoyun's words were finished, the emperor coldly interrupted her and said, "I heard that your aunt's daughter's eyes are higher than the top and has never paid attention to her biological mother. How can she rest assured of you, your feelings for her, and what kind of revenge do you take?"

Baoyun was stunned by the emperor's question. It took him a long time to react and said, "my cousin was born in October, and my aunt loved her. After she disappeared, my maid saw my aunt secretly cry for several times, and my maid hated me..." Baoyun glanced at Leng Qingyan and said, gnashing her teeth.

"I heard that your aunt is a divorced wife. How much affection can Baoju have with her?" said the emperor.

"No more love, mother and daughter are always connected," Baoyun said.

Leng Qingyan was more and more frightened. Unexpectedly, the emperor investigated so thoroughly that he even knew that others were divorced. Cloves are useless.

The emperor knew that it was just a waste of time to ask any more. This Baoyun made it clear that he wanted to die! In that case, kill it!

"Someone!"

A dozen guards came in quickly.

"Take this bold maidservant down and stick to death." the emperor said softly.

Baoyun was always young. More than a dozen forbidden guards came near. She was paralyzed on the ground. When she went out, she looked at her cold face with resentment and said silently, "are you satisfied, imperial concubine?"

Leng Qingyan was naturally satisfied with the result.
