Chapter 43: You have to send your benefactor’s sister away, right?

Murong Che stared coldly at Song Jingsi with his gloomy eyes. He remained silent and did not reply immediately.

Xue Youli followed Song Jingsi's words and said, "Song Zhaoyi is right. In order to prove my innocence, Your Majesty, please search Shuiyuexuan immediately!"

[Fortunately, I was well prepared in advance, but I didn't expect Song Jingsi to be so cruel. In order to bring me down, he actually poisoned himself! ]

Song Jingsi listened to her frank tone and sneered in his heart.

After the poison is found in Shuiyuexuan, she wants to see how the emperor will still favor Xue Youli in front of everyone.

Murong Che glanced at the two of them and ordered, "Wang Defa, take people to search Shuiyuexuan carefully."

"yes!"

Wang Defa immediately took his eunuchs to search Shuiyuexuan from inside to outside, leaving no corner untouched.

He was reliable and efficient in his work and soon returned to Yuexuan to report.

"Your Majesty, Shuiyuexuan does not have the poison that the palace maid mentioned."

"impossible!"

Song Jingsi's face changed and he blurted out, "Did you miss something?"

Wang Defa replied, "Don't worry, Song Zhaoyi. I ordered people to knock over every floor brick in Shuiyuexuan, and no poison was found."

How could this happen?

The poison was clearly hidden in the vase in Shuiyuexuan.

Mr. Fang glanced at the panic in Song Jingsi's eyes and reminded him, "Who would keep the evidence with them if they intended to harm someone? If it were me, I would have destroyed it long ago."

Song Jingsi came to her senses and said, "That's right! Xue Youli is insidious and cunning. Maybe she threw away the poison in advance!"

Xue Youli did not argue with them, but turned to Murong Che and pinned the crime on her, "Your Majesty, Song Zhaoyi wants to convict me just based on the empty words of a palace maid. I think she is guilty of being a thief!"

"I didn't! I am the victim. According to Lady Xue, would I be stupid enough to poison myself?"

"Who says there aren't such stupid people in the world? Everyone has a brain, but not everyone knows how to use it!"

Xue Youli sneered and continued to say to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about Song Zhaoyi's poisoning. The poison was given by a maid in her palace. Others would definitely suspect that she was the thief crying thief. Now that my suspicion has been cleared, in order to clear Song Zhaoyi's name, why don't you let Eunuch Wang search Wangyue as well?"

Song Jingsi was speechless. Who told her that her suspicion was cleared?

And I am the victim, why should I search Wangyuexuan?

However, before Song Jingsi could refute, Murong Che nodded and agreed, "Wang Defa, search Wangyuexuan."

"yes!"

But Song Jingsi was not afraid at all. Even if they dug three feet into the ground, it was impossible to find anything in Wangyuexuan.

However--

After a while, Wang Defa returned to the hall quickly with a paper bag in his hand.

"Your Majesty, my servants found this in the palace maid's residence."

Murong Che glanced at the things in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Cheng, examine it!"

Doctor Cheng opened the paper bag, sniffed the powder inside, and shouted, "Your Majesty, Song Zhaoyi was poisoned by this very poison!"

When Wang Defa came in with the paper bag, Song Jingsi had a bad feeling in her heart.

Now, after hearing what Doctor Cheng said, her face turned pale and she almost couldn't stand steadily.

If Han Qiu hadn't been there to support her, she would have definitely fallen.

She felt Han Qiu's grip on her arm getting stronger, and she knew that Han Qiu was reminding her not to panic.

Song Jingsi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She glared at the kneeling maid and scolded her fiercely, "I think I treated you well in my daily life. How dare you poison me? Tell me! Who instructed you to do that?"

The maid met Song Jingsi's eyes, shuddered, and then spoke with regret, "No one ordered me to do this, but before I entered the palace, I was favored by the second son of the Xue family. A few days ago, I learned that the second son of the Xue family was killed by the master's eldest brother, so I spent a lot of money to get poison from outside the palace, hoping to torture the master. But I just wanted to vent my anger for the second son of the Xue family, and I didn't want to kill the master."

Xue Youli listened to the excuse she made for poisoning and sneered, "Your lie is so full of loopholes. If my second brother did you a favor, why did you put the blame of poisoning on me? Why, you just can't stand your benefactor's sister living well in the palace, so you have to send your benefactor's sister away, right?"

Whose intelligence are you trying to insult by telling such a crude lie?

"Your servant..."

Xue Youli did not give her another chance to speak, "Your Majesty, this maid is full of lies. I request that she be thrown into the prison and tortured severely. We will definitely be able to find out who is behind this!"

The maid kowtowed and confessed her guilt. "I know my crime is unforgivable. I beg Your Majesty to kill me and not blame Lady Xue!"

Xue Youli was so angry that he laughed when he saw that she was still hating him even when she was dying.

However, since this palace maid was chosen to take the blame, it was impossible for her to betray her master.

There is no point in reviewing it further.

Murong Che obviously saw this too, "Wang Defa, this man poisoned the master, behead him immediately!"

"yes!"

Wang Defa ordered two young eunuchs to come forward and drag the palace maid away.

Murong Che looked at Song Jingsi who was supported by Han Qiu, with a hint of coldness between his brows, "You have been wronged, take good care of yourself, tomorrow I will ask Wang Defa to replace everyone in your palace."

Song Jingsi was startled and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the people in my palace are very good and do not need to be changed."

Murong Che sneered, "So good as to commit treason and poison you?"

Song Jingsi was speechless after hearing the man's words.

She didn't know if Murong Che had guessed something, so she could only bow her head and thank him, "I don't know people well, I will follow the emperor's arrangements."

The original intention of arranging this game was to get rid of Xue Youli, but she didn't expect the boomerang to hit her hard.

Murong Che glanced at the concubines standing in the corner and said calmly, "It's getting late, you all should go away."

"yes."

They just came here to find support, but they didn't expect to see such a big show.

Seeing that Song Jingsi looked very bad, they said a few words to ask her to take care of her health, and then left with their own thoughts.

Murong Che and Xue Youli also returned to Shuiyuexuan together.

Late at night, Minghua Palace.

A figure quietly entered Xue Qingyao's Tianxiang Pavilion and told her what happened in Wangyuexuan tonight.

After Xue Qingyao heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Song Jingsi is such a waste, she can't even kill someone with a knife in her hand!"

Thanks to her for specially arranging people to go to Wangyuexuan to help, but Xue Youli got away with it!

Noble Fang nodded and agreed, "Who says it's not true? The poison that was supposed to be in Xue Youli's palace was eventually found in her maid's room. Now the emperor wants to replace all the maids in her palace. She really shot herself in the foot."

The powerful and noble families all have some connections in the palace. Before they send their daughters into the palace, they will arrange for their own people to enter the palace in advance.

The palace maid who attacked Xue Youli tonight was the one arranged by the Song family for Song Jingsi.

Unfortunately, even though he lost a person, he still couldn't bite off a piece of flesh from Xue Youli.

"Xue Wuyang is now in high school. Once he has established himself in the court, it will be even more difficult to deal with Xue Youli. We have to hurry."

Noble Fang was sent to the palace by that person to help her. Anything that was inconvenient for her to do could be handed over to Noble Fang.

"I originally thought that our plan would be useless after tonight, but who knew Song Jingsi would be so useless."

Xue Qingyao turned the teacup in his hand, then squeezed it tightly, "Song Jingsi is useless, let's change someone else!"

Although after Xue Youli entered the palace, many things were different from her previous life.

But the women in the harem are still the same people from her previous life. Xue Qingyao knows the personalities of these women very well, and they can all become her pawns to deal with Xue Youli!
