A few people nodded.
"Yes, Miss Ye did take the Queen out for a stroll at that time."
"Yeah, I saw you guys leave too."
Nodding with satisfaction, Ye Shuyin said, "But later, the Queen's clothes got dirty, so I kindly pointed the way and asked her to come to this room to change."
Everyone listened and suddenly raised their heads.
"You said that the Queen changed clothes in this room?"
Their gaze turned to the body on the ground.
"I saw the Queen come here to change clothes with my own eyes, but you also saw that the Queen is nowhere to be seen, and my servant is dead here."
Ye Shuyin narrowed her eyes and said, "In my opinion, the Queen is the murderer!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
Minister Ye frowned and glanced at Ye Shuyin, but was stopped by Ye Shuyin.
"The Queen must have disappeared out of guilt after committing murder. Otherwise, how else can we explain the death of my servant in her changing room?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone was immediately in an uproar.
Ye Shuyin smiled as she looked at the scene, feeling a sense of sarcasm in her heart.
Although the current effect is much worse than catching Su Lijin on the spot, it can at least make Su Lijin suspected of killing someone with his hands spread out!
"What happened here? Why is it so lively? I'm a little curious."
A clear and elegant female voice was heard, and everyone turned around and was suddenly stunned.
Su Lijin, dressed in a phoenix robe, walked over with great grace. The royal majesty emanating from her body made everyone dare not look directly at her.
"How come I just heard that Miss Ye thinks I killed someone?" Su Lijin did not avoid the question, but asked directly. After she finished speaking, she stared at Ye Shuyin.
Ye Shuyin felt a pang of fear when she was stared at. Thinking of the evidence of her crime, the body, she straightened her back and said, "I saw you coming here. Now my servant is dead in the room where you changed clothes. Don't even think of quibbling!"
Su Lijin smiled and raised her hand, saying, "Miss Ye, can you check if my clothes are dirty?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuyin's heart skipped a beat. She quickly took a look and found that Su Lijin's phoenix robe was spotless and there was no dirt on it.
She choked and said, "Impossible, your clothes are obviously dirty!"
"What's wrong? Is Miss Ye's eyesight impaired?"
Su Lijin looked at her condescendingly and said, "Or is it that Miss Ye has soiled my clothes, so you are so sure?"
Ye Shuyin gritted her teeth. There was no way she could say that she had deliberately made it dirty, right?
"This phoenix robe is clearly the same one I had before, it's not dirty at all."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing that everyone was leaning towards Su Lijin, Ye Shuyin angrily said, "You're just trying to quibble. I clearly saw you walk over here to change clothes! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Su Lijin smiled at the anger on her face and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh? I clearly said I was going to the bathroom, so I separated from Miss Ye a long time ago. How could I have said I needed to change clothes?"
"You're quibbling!"
Being repeatedly criticized left her speechless, Ye Shuyin pointed at her excitedly and said, "You said you went to the toilet, but did anyone see you?"
"Miss Ye said I came here to change clothes. Did anyone see it?" Su Lijin asked back.
Ye Shuyin had no answer to this question. How could she dare to let others see it? If someone saw it, her plan would probably be exposed!
Su Lijin smiled faintly: "Miss Ye slandered me for murder, but you need evidence. Without any evidence, I will not bear such a crime."
After watching for a long time, everyone saw that Ye Shuyin had no evidence at all and was speechless after a few words from the Queen. They almost knew who was right and who was wrong.
"Miss Ye is slandering the current queen. I wonder where she got the courage from."
"That's right. I don't know if this is a frame-up. Who knows what her intentions are."
Everyone unconsciously turned to Su Lijin, and their eyes looked at Ye Shuyin more and more unfriendly.
"You must have used some means. I'll have someone check you and we'll know!" Ye Shuyin was anxious.
"Miss Ye, am I too kind to you? Have you even forgotten to address me as your proper title?"
Su Lijin's eyes fixed, and an imposing aura suddenly emanated from her body, a majesty that made people feel a step shorter in an instant.
"If you want to investigate me, you need to be qualified first!"
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Shangshu and said lightly, "Ye Shangshu, your authority in this palace is truly overwhelming. Do you really not take me and the emperor seriously?"
Minister Ye immediately knelt down, pulled Ye Shuyin, forced her to kneel down, and kowtowed, saying, "I dare not do that. It is all because of my young age and ignorance. Shuyin, quickly apologize to the Queen Mother!"
Ye Shuyin lowered her head reluctantly, but the resentment in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed and Su Lijin also turned and left.
"Your Majesty, please stay."
Xiao Zhaolin, who appeared out of nowhere, chased after him.
Seeing this, Ye Shuyin's face darkened, and the handkerchief in her hand was squeezed out of shape.
The officials all returned to the lobby. Su Lijin kept walking and ignored Xiao Zhaolin who was chasing after her.
Xiao Zhaolin chased for a long time and finally caught up with him in the corridor.
"My lady, why didn't you come to see me?"
Su Lijin then looked at him: "Oh, Your Highness is here too. I didn't see you before."
Xiao Zhaolin knew it was a lie, and a look of grievance appeared on his face: "Has the Queen really changed her mind?"
A hint of discomfort flashed across her eyes, and Su Lijin said perfunctorily, "Your Highness, you're overthinking it. I just don't want the Emperor to become suspicious."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin's heart sank. He glanced around and frowned, "Could it be that there are spies of the Emperor in this palace?"
He thought Su Lijin was hinting at him.
Faced with his guess, Su Lijin looked indifferent, which made Xiao Zhaolin confused. Su Lijin quickly found an excuse to leave.
night.
Su Lijin changed into Shiqi's clothes and came to find Xiao Shengxing quietly.
At this moment, under the bright moonlight, Xiao Shengxing, dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, poured himself a glass of wine.
"You're here?"
Hearing this, Su Lijin no longer hid in the dark and nodded, "Why are you drinking here alone?"
Xiao Shengxing poured another glass of wine and handed it to her: "How about we have a drink together?"
Su Lijin smiled, took the wine glass neatly, and sat opposite him.
"Okay, the moonlight is nice today, it's a good time for a drink."
"Do you think so?"
Xiao Shengxing also laughed.
"But what's on your mind?" Su Lijin said, pointing to the wine jug on the table: "You're suddenly drinking here, don't tell me you really just came here to admire the moon."
Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing glanced at the bright moon. The moon was as bright as a lantern, and quite elegant.
He spoke, his voice slightly deep: "I am a little worried about state affairs. It's not peaceful right now."
