Chapter 60 Questioning



"What a man who does what he's told!"

Jin Guiren was so angry that she wanted to kick this dog away.

But in front of the imperial study, she still had some reservations and glared at him with an ugly expression.

"Since you won't let me in now, then go in and make the announcement."

Humph, no matter what, she must let the emperor see what she has in her hand. She has finally caught the queen's handle and must not lose this opportunity!

Thinking of this, Jin Guiren urged again, "Hurry up and report it!"

The eunuch, however, was sweating profusely as he refused again: "Your Excellency, the order from above is not to see anyone. How dare I report it? Please don't embarrass me."

"Oh, if you don't go in to report, how do you know that the emperor will not see me? Just tell the emperor that I have important news to report about the queen, and he will definitely see me!" The handkerchief in Jin Guiren's hand was twisted into a ball in her anxiety. She was so anxious that she was afraid that the opportunity in front of her would be gone in a flash.

"My lord, I really cannot go in and report..."

With a thud, the eunuch knelt down with his head buried deeply, but he refused to move aside and did not go in to report.

"Go in and report, and this is yours." Concubine Jin took out the precious hairpin on her head and waved it contemptuously.

Humph, he's just a profit-seeking dog slave, isn't he just waiting for her to give him something to get rid of him?

"I cannot accept this. My Lord, you should go back and come back in a few hours. The Emperor may have withdrawn his order."

The eunuch groaned inwardly, thinking that this noble lady Jin was really making things difficult for him and was quite cruel.

The order clearly stated that no one would be seen, so why would he go in and report?

What if the Emperor didn't want to see her when she reported it? What if he even flew into a rage and blamed her, a servant, for disobeying his orders?

Will Lady Jin protect the life of this servant of his at that time?

Besides, no matter how precious this hairpin is, how can you enjoy it if you are dead?

"What a dog slave!"

Seeing that the eunuch refused to listen to any persuasion, Concubine Jin stamped her feet in anger.

If we come back after a few hours, the opportunity will be gone. What's more, what if the Queen notices what's going on and destroys some of the evidence?

When catching adultery, one must be quick, accurate and ruthless.

Thinking of something, Jin Guiren snorted coldly and turned away.

She said something to the maid beside her, and the maid immediately took the order and left. Not long after, she arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"You said the Queen has committed a serious crime?" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Jin carefully, wondering whether her words were true or not.

Concubine Jin nodded quickly and said, "I came to see the Queen Mother to report this matter."

"What did the Queen do wrong? Why haven't I heard about it?" Last time, Concubine Jin made the Queen Mother lose face in front of Su Lijin, and this time the Queen Mother was not so quick to believe it.

"This matter is extremely secretive, and I was almost fooled. If I hadn't been so devoted to the Emperor and paid close attention to everything, it would have been difficult for me to discover this secret!"

"What's going on?" The Queen Mother frowned as her curiosity was aroused by Concubine Jin's words.

"The Empress has committed adultery!" Concubine Jin raised her voice, a look of heartache on her face, but her eyes were full of gloating smiles.

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother stood up from her chair, obviously shocked by the news.

"This is absolutely true. I have solid evidence in my hands!"

"Show me the evidence."

"Your Majesty, this evidence is absolutely true and is in my hands."

Concubine Jin took out the letter hidden in her sleeve, but did not give it to the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest was heaving. Although she didn't get the letter, she believed it about 70% when she saw the letter with the ambiguous flowers stuck on it.

What's more, there is no reason for Concubine Jin to fabricate such a charge. If there is no solid evidence, such a fabrication will make her pay the price.

"I hope to present this to the Emperor. I hope the Empress Dowager will take me to see the Emperor soon! If I go too late, I'm afraid the Empress will get the news and punish the people involved."

Before the Queen Mother could speak, news came in from outside the door that the Prime Minister had come to see her, saying that he wanted to discuss important matters concerning the Queen.

Knowing that the Prime Minister had probably also learned about the Queen's adultery, the Queen Mother was so angry that she threw the porcelain vase beside her and shouted angrily, "Go to the Imperial Study!"

Jin Guiren fanned the flames as she wished, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Su Lijin, I want to see if you have any ability to escape this time!

The group arrived at the imperial study. The eunuch at the door glanced at Concubine Jin while bowing, knowing that this scene might have been caused by this lady, but was glared at fiercely by her.

"The Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister are here. You should let them go, you little dog slave, right?" Concubine Jin snorted coldly.

Before the eunuch could speak, he heard a voice coming from the imperial study.

"Let everyone in."

In the imperial study, Su Lijin smiled and directly ordered people outside to come in.

She knew it was almost time.

"What happened that alarmed the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister?" Xiao Shengxing glanced at everyone and his eyes fell on Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin gave the Queen a mocking look, but her face showed an expression of unbearable heartache. She raised her hands high, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have evidence that the Queen has committed adultery!"

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples, and this sentence directly exploded the air in the imperial study.

The eunuchs and palace maids dared not utter a word, and their eyes were looking at the queen intentionally or unintentionally.

The Queen Mother looked at Su Lijin with disgust. She had never liked Su Lijin in the first place, and now she disliked her even more.
