Chapter 83 gave her a little shock!

Xue Youli raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Madame Li, may I ask what the Empress Dowager wants to ask me?"

Nanny Li was the maid that came with Empress Dowager Yin as a dowry, and had been with her for nearly thirty years.

After Chu Xinyue was brought into the palace by Empress Dowager Yin, she was also raised by Nanny Li.

Nanny Li had long heard that Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli had a bad relationship, so she certainly wouldn't treat Xue Youli well. "When Noble Xue sees the Empress Dowager, she'll naturally know."

"Then I'll have to trouble Nanny Li to lead the way." Xue Youli looked at Nanny Li's cold expression and didn't bother herself any more.

I originally wanted to save the number of times I used the Book of Secrets, but now it seems I can’t save it.

"Madame Li, I'll go over with you to take a look too!"

When Chu Xinyue heard their conversation, she quickly stood up from the table and ran out in two steps.

Erxi ran after her, holding a golden hairpin in his hand, "Princess, there is still one hairpin that has not been put on!"

"No need for that. Your princess is naturally beautiful. She is beautiful even without a gold hairpin!"

Chu Xinyue was tall and had long legs, so she quickly caught up with the short-legged Nanny Li. "Nanny, tell me, what's the matter that made the Queen Mother look for Noble Xue so early in the morning?"

Nanny Li thought Chu Xinyue wanted to see Xue Youli's excitement, so she whispered to her, "Concubine Ning was injured. I heard it was caused by Concubine Xue."

"What the hell? Noble Xue caused Concubine Ning to be injured?" Chu Xinyue deliberately repeated her words loudly, then glanced in the direction of Xue Youli from the corner of her eye, pretending to be gloating over the misfortune, "Then Noble Xue is in trouble! Rebellion is a serious crime!"

"That's right. The Queen Mother was also angry, so she asked me to come and ask Mr. Xue to leave in person."

In response to Chu Xinyue's rhetoric, Nanny Li immediately told the story like a bunch of beans on a bamboo tube, adding some exaggeration to it.

"Oh - so that's how it is!"

Chu Xinyue nodded seriously, then looked at Xue Youli provocatively, "Mr. Xue, you're going to be in big trouble later!"

Xue Youli curled her lips humbly and politely, "The princess is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, please take good care of her."

"Hmph! Just look at this princess's mood!" Chu Xinyue felt like acting. She raised her chin proudly and went into the courtyard where the Queen Mother lived with Nanny Li.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xue has arrived."

At this time, there were quite a few people sitting in the Queen Mother's room.

In addition to the four concubines, Noble Lady Qiao and Concubine Chi were also present.

They lived nearby, and when they heard that Concubine Ning was injured, they came with her to see the Empress Dowager.

After all, Murong Che was furious about the drowning of a palace guard, and the same was true when it came to asking the Queen Mother to make the decision on matters between women.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Youli stopped in front of the main seat and saluted the Queen Mother politely and politely.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

On the way here, she had already heard Nanny Li tell Chu Xinyue what had happened. She had a plan in mind and did not look panicked.

Queen Mother Yin stared at Xue Youli and spoke slowly, "Concubine Ning was bitten by a poisonous snake last night. Although the imperial physician treated her in time, she was half dead. Noble Xue, do you know about this?"

Xue Youli replied calmly, "I didn't know it originally, but now I know it."

Concubine Ning was sitting to the right of the Empress Dowager. Her face was still very pale. After listening to Xue Youli's reply, she coughed weakly twice, "Ahem! Empress Dowager, the truth of this matter has not yet been found out. Since Noble Xue said that she didn't know, maybe there really is a misunderstanding."

Xue Youli had never dealt with Concubine Ning before, but Concubine Ning pointed the finger at her as soon as she made a move. Xue Youli did not hesitate and directly used the Book of Heaven's Secrets to investigate her. She even found out clearly that several wild dogs had urinated on the graves of her ancestors for eighteen generations.

After checking, I found out that Murong Ye had more than just Xue Qingyao in the palace.

The same goes for Concubine Ning.

She is Murong Ye's hidden chess piece.

However, before this group of newcomers entered the palace, there were a total of four concubines in the palace. One was the only one favored by the emperor, one had a daughter, and one was sick all year round. None of them had the desire to compete for favor, so Concubine Ning could not find an opportunity to make a move.

Until the newcomer entered the palace, Concubine Ning also received instructions from Murong Ye, asking her to take action in advance to deal with Xue Youli and help Xue Qingyao take the throne.

After receiving Murong Ye's urgent secret letter, Concubine Ning has been looking for an opportunity to take action.

Last night, she was walking in the yard because she couldn't sleep, and she happened to see Lian Xin sneaking into Xue Youli's yard to sprinkle powder to attract poisonous snakes.

So, she took advantage of the situation and deliberately sprinkled powder in her yard to create snake bite marks on her arms.

To make her performance more realistic, she applied diluted snake venom to the wound on her arm.

Before the imperial physician arrived, she hid several unopened packets of medicine powder in Xue Youli's yard.

As long as the Queen Mother ordered a search, Xue Youli's conspiracy to murder her with a poisonous snake would be confirmed.

Seeing that Concubine Ning was poisoned by a snake and still spoke up for Xue Youli, Noble Lady Qiao couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "Concubine Ning, you are too kind! If Concubine Rong hadn't heard your screams last night and called for the imperial physician in time, the consequences would be disastrous! If someone really wants to use poisonous snakes to harm people, each of us could be the next victim!"

Lady Chi also echoed, "Sister Qiao is right. Some people rely on the emperor's favor to do whatever they want. They even dare to murder Concubine Ning. Please ask the Queen Mother to investigate this matter carefully to prevent more sisters from getting into trouble!"

Everyone knows which concubine is the most favored by the emperor.

What she said was no different from naming someone.

Mr. Qiao continued to echo Ms. Chi, "Yes, if something like this happens once, there will be a second one. We must investigate it thoroughly!"

"This princess also feels that the real murderer cannot be let off!"

Chu Xinyue followed suit, as if she was deliberately adding insult to injury.

Yin Xuan'er learned her lesson this time. She just watched them fight Xue Youli quietly without saying a word.

"Ahem..." Concubine Chun coughed twice and spoke, "Last night, on the way to the dinner, my old illness suddenly relapsed. If it weren't for the treatment of Mr. Xue, I would have died on the spot. Mr. Xue is a kind-hearted person, how could he do such a despicable thing?"

Concubine Li immediately chimed in, "Sister Chun is right. Please investigate this thoroughly, Queen Mother, to prevent some people from arbitrarily accusing others out of jealousy."

At this time, Rong Fei cast her eyes towards Empress Dowager Yin, "Empress Dowager, your sisters are right. This concerns the reputation of Mr. Xue. Please do justice. Even if it is a misunderstanding, it will at least clear Mr. Xue's name!"

The concubines present were divided into two factions, one defended Xue Youli, and the other wanted to convict Xue Youli on the spot.

Queen Mother Yin listened to their chatter and found it too noisy. "That's enough. I only believe in evidence. Since you all have your own reasons, I will order someone to check out Noblewoman Xue's residence."

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

Concubine Ning was secretly proud of herself, but what she didn't know was -

Just when she was splashing dirty water on Xue Youli, Chu Xinyue had already slipped out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Others may not know the identity of Concubine Ning, but as the author of the novel, how could she not know?

Not only did she know that Concubine Ning was Murong Ye's person, she also knew Concubine Ning's personality very well.

In the plot of her novel, Concubine Ning used the same method to help Xue Qingyao get rid of Song Jingsi.

As soon as Concubine Ning opened her mouth, Chu Xinyue thought of a good way to vent her sister's anger.

So, before the Queen Mother's people went to search, she took action in advance, intending to give Concubine Ning a little shock!
