Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
Her eyes were flustered and anxious.
"Someone in Changle Palace must have done this evil thing behind my back."
Fuquan ignored what Concubine Lin said.
"Several people have been to Concubine Lin's palace, and the people in the flower room have recognized them one by one. I have also interrogated the palace servants in Changle Palace. The witnesses and evidence have definitely confirmed that Concubine Lin is the one who murdered the Queen."
Then Fuquan turned to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin is indeed the most suspicious person now. To be on the safe side, I think we can take Concubine Lin's personal maid Yuqi to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. In this way, everything will be revealed."
When Concubine Lin heard this, she immediately became nervous, although she firmly believed that Yuqi was loyal to her.
But how could Yuqi possibly endure a terrifying place like the Ministry of Punishment where one could never return and where one could breathe in but not out?
Yuqi knew clearly all her plans after entering the palace.
If Yuqi couldn't hold it in and told everything, she would be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei's eyes were filled with fear and panic, and her voice was a little hysterical.
"You little dog slave, Yuqi is my personal maid, how can you just take her to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation? The physical evidence you are talking about should be musk, right?"
"There are both in my palace and in Concubine Shu's Yongning Palace. Why don't you suspect Concubine Shu and directly convict me?"
Fuquan's eyes darkened slightly. Concubine Lin really would not cry until she saw the coffin.
Your Majesty had already discovered through secret channels that Concubine Lin was the one behind the plot.
However, as the emperor, Your Majesty naturally has to punish openly, and he is unwilling to expose some of the spies planted in the previous dynasty and the harem, so he is conducting an open investigation today.
Jun Zechen frowned, his eyes full of disgust, and stared at Lin Fei coldly, as if he was looking at a disgusting reptile.
What a vicious woman.
"Shu Fei doesn't agree with your maid Yuqi entering the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that she wants to enter the Ministry of Punishment herself?"
Jun Zechen's voice, without a trace of warmth, sounded slowly.
When Concubine Lin heard this, her eyes widened in horror, tears streaming down her face like a flood, her lips trembling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
Her face was filled with panic and helplessness, and she had no idea how to justify her dire situation.
When Concubine Shu heard His Majesty's cold words to Concubine Lin, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
When Concubine Shu heard that there was musk in Changle Palace, she felt a little scared.
She thought she was doomed today and someone must have framed her.
After all, she had never used musk.
Concubine Lin slumped on the ground, looking around, and then looking at the emperor and the queen who were high above her.
There was something crazy in his expression.
"Your Majesty, there is also musk in Concubine Shu's palace. Just because you favor Concubine Shu, do you have no doubts about her at all?" Concubine Lin shouted hysterically.
After Jun Zechen heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy. He wanted to turn around and look at Yaoyao's face, but he held back.
This damn Concubine Lin actually dared to sow discord between him and Yaoyao so blatantly!
At this time, Concubine Xian, who had been watching the show for a long time, also slowly opened her mouth.
"Your Majesty, even if the musk in the Concubine's palace is not used to murder the Queen, there should never be such dirty things as musk in the concubine's palace."
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Shu and asked, "Concubine Shu, why don't you explain?"
Concubine Shu looked at Jun Zechen with a firm and innocent look on her face, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know why this musk is in Changle Palace. I was framed."
Concubine Lan (the second princess of Canglang Kingdom), who was sitting below Concubine Xian, looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully.
With the help of that person, Concubine Lan successfully put the musk into Concubine Shu's Yongning Palace.
It was originally thought that the real murderer who murdered the queen could hide himself well and let Concubine Shu take the blame.
But who would have thought that Concubine Lin, who plotted to murder the queen, was such an unintelligent person.
Things like musk were not disposed of early and were found by His Majesty's men.
Yuqi, who was beside Concubine Lin, was now kneeling on the ground in a daze.
She asked herself again and again in her heart: Do I really want to go to the Ministry of Punishment?
She had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment once before because of Concubine Shangguan, and she knew that she would not be able to bear it.
Fuquan had already ordered the eunuch to take her away. Yuqi immediately cried for help: "Master, save this servant, Master."
Princess Lin looked at Yuqi crying and felt very sorry for her.
But she was powerless at the moment.
When Yuqi saw that his master had turned his back on him, he felt extremely desperate.
"Your Majesty, Queen, this matter was indeed the master's attempt to frame Concubine Shu and murder the Queen. I confess everything, I confess everything."
Lin Fei turned her head in shock and stared at Yuqi, "You..."
Her lips trembled, but she could no longer utter a word.
