Chapter 98 What are you afraid of? Just do it!

So Wang Defa ordered the nanny to check the concubines and maids present one by one.

Xue Qingyao was quickly found.

The nanny in charge of searching Xue Qingyao's body searched her from head to toe and shook her head, saying, "There is no scent of miscarriage on Miss Xue's body."

Chu Xinyue heard this and her eyes widened in shock. She looked at Xue Youli and said, "How is this possible? When I pushed her just now, I put the sachet of abortion fragrance on her with my own hands!"

Xue Qingyao wanted to murder Xue Youli, so they personally put the evidence into her arms.

But strangely, the sachet disappeared!

Xue Youli was about to respond with a look when she saw the nanny pointing at Lian Xin who was kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Your Majesty, I can smell it. The sachet in this maid's hand contains the abortion fragrance!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stretched their necks to look at Lian Xin's hand.

The sachet that Lian Xin was holding tightly in her hand was exactly the one that Chu Xinyue had quietly stuffed into Xue Qingyao's waist!

Chu Xinyue watched the nanny snatch the sachet from Lian Xin's hand, and her pupils dilated: Ah Li, I clearly put the sachet on Xue Qingyao, how come it is in Lian Xin's hand?

Xue Youli could probably guess how the sachet slipped from Xue Qingyao's waist and was picked up by Lian Xin.

She curled her lips, looking helpless: This is probably Xue Qingyao's halo as the protagonist, I have experienced it a long time ago.

Chu Xinyue: Damn! Her halo was given to her by me! Can the two of us beat her?

Xue Youli: What are you afraid of? Just do it!

Chu Xinyue: Yes, no matter if they are masters or servants, I will kill them all if I can!

The swords in their hands have been unsheathed, and blood must be drawn.

At this moment, the sachet that Lian Xin was holding tightly in her hand was presented to Murong Che by the nanny.

Murong Che glanced at Doctor Cheng and said, "Inspect!"

Doctor Cheng took the sachet, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then opened it and checked the herbs inside one by one, "Your Majesty, the sachet contains indeed miscarriage incense! This incense is the culprit that caused Lady Xue's miscarriage!"

Imperial Physician Cheng made his conclusion, and the other concubines immediately pointed at Lian Xin and started to talk about her.

"This maid is so bold that she dares to harm the royal heir!"

"Alas! If nothing had happened to Lady Xue tonight, there would have been one more child in the palace next year! This lowly maid has committed a heinous crime that is unforgivable!"

"How could a mere maid like her have such great abilities? In my opinion, she should be thrown into the prison and interrogated strictly. We will definitely be able to find out who is the mastermind behind this!"

I don't know who suggested sending Lian Xin to the prison, but the other concubines took this very seriously.

Lian Xin was Xue Qingyao's personal maid. She dared to harm the child in Xue Guiren's belly. She must have been instructed by someone.

Upon hearing this, Yin Xuan'er also spoke in a stern voice, "That's right, this concerns the heir to the throne, and he must be severely punished!"

Xue Qingyao saw that everyone was pointing the finger at her, and she quickly knelt in front of Murong Che, "Your Majesty, I had no idea that Concubine Xue was pregnant! Moreover, as everyone has said, Lian Xin is my personal maid. Even if I wanted to harm Concubine Xue, I would not be stupid enough to let her do it! Please let your Majesty see clearly!"

In fact, when she fell just now, she felt something slipping from her waist.

After seeing the sachet in Lian Xin's hand, she recognized on the spot that this sachet was the one she had someone prepare for Duan Cainü.

Every summer, the Imperial Household Department would make many mosquito-repellent sachets, and Lian Xin had someone deliver the sachets to Duan Cainü in the name of repelling mosquitoes and insects, and also told her to wear them with her.

Xue Qingyao didn't know when Duan Cainü discovered the secret of the sachet. Originally, the scapegoat she had chosen for tonight's game was Duan Cainü.

She couldn't figure out when someone put the sachet on her body.

Fortunately, God let the sachet fall from her waist to the ground.

Otherwise, according to the current situation, even if she had mouths all over her body, she would not be able to wash away the charge of murdering the royal bloodline!

Rong Qingyue glanced at Xue Qingyao, then turned her gaze to Lian Xin, "Lian Xin, who instructed you to do what happened today? As long as you tell me, the emperor will give you a quick death for identifying the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Lian Xin knew very well that there were only two consequences if the sachet was exposed.

Either she told the truth, and then she and Xue Qingyao would die here together.

Or, she takes on everything and dies alone.

In fact, when she left the Qinghe Garden Palace, Murong Ye had secretly summoned her.

After Concubine Ning got into trouble, Murong Ye gave Lian Xin many instructions, telling her to protect Xue Qingyao no matter what happened.

So, for that man's great cause, she knew what she should do.

Lian Xin raised her head and looked at Rong Qingyue, as if she had made up her mind, and said loudly, "Yes! Someone did instruct me!"

Some concubines who were watching the excitement saw that Lian Xin only spoke half of her words and kept the other half to herself, and they couldn't help but ask, "Who is it? Just tell me boldly!"

Lian Xin took a deep breath, raised her hand and pointed at Duan Cainv who was standing behind Chu Xinyue, and said loudly, "It's Duan Cainv! A few days ago, she met me and not only gave me a sachet, but also gave me banknotes and a pair of gold hairpins, and told me to knock down Mr. Xue tonight at all costs!"

Duan Cainv didn't expect Lian Xin to bite her like a mad dog. She was anxious and angry, "You are talking nonsense! I never gave you the golden hairpin!"

A few days ago, an unfamiliar palace maid handed her a sachet, saying it was a mosquito repellent sachet issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked her to send the extra sachets to Xue Youli.

Duan Cainü found it strange. Usually, the distribution of things in the Imperial Household Department was handled by the eunuch in charge, who would personally deliver them to each concubine according to their rank. How could he let someone else pass the sachet on?

She was cautious at the time, and expressed her doubts when she gave the sachet to Xue Youli.

Xue Youli asked her to pretend she didn't know about it.

At the dinner tonight, Duan Cainv took the initiative to get close to Xue Youli in front of so many people and poured sour plum soup for Xue Youli. She also wanted to take this opportunity to catch the person who wanted to harm her.

Finally, the person was found, but the hateful maid wanted to drag her into the water.

Lian Xin glanced at Duan Cainv and took out a stack of banknotes and a pair of gold hairpins from her bosom. "Your Majesty, these were given to me by Duan Cainv. Please understand!"

When Duan Cainü saw the golden hairpin in Lianxin's hand, her face turned pale.

Because the gold hairpin that Lian Xin took out was indeed hers.

It was given to her by her mother before she entered the palace.

She clearly put the gold hairpin in her dressing table, so why did it fall into Lian Xin's hands?

Duan Cainu was puzzled and almost cried, "I am not me, you are talking nonsense! Your Majesty, I have never harmed Noble Xue!"

Lian Xin obviously had no intention of letting her go, and said word by word, "Your Majesty, Shan Hu, the maidservant beside Duan Cainv, can testify for me!"

When he was in the palace, Murong Ye had experienced Xue Youli's power.

Therefore, he knew very well how difficult every step Xue Qingyao took in the harem was.

In order to protect Xue Qingyao's safety, he told Lian Xin to think of a way out before every plan.

Therefore, Lian Xin had already bribed the palace maids around Duan Cainü in order to completely remove Xue Qingyao from this matter.

Shanhu was called out, and she knelt down and replied, "Yes! This was all instigated by Duan Cainu! She was jealous of the favor of Xue Guiren, and she knew that Xue Meiren and Xue Guiren were not on good terms, so she came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of them both!"

Duan Cainv was stunned. She didn't expect Shanhu to betray her. "Shanhu, how could you lie?"

Shanhu's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, "Everything I said is true, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Duan Cainv, I have no grudge against you, I never thought you could be so vicious!"

Xue Qingyao glared at Duan Cainv in disbelief, then looked at Lian Xin with great sorrow, "Lian Xin, I have treated you well, how could you do such a vicious thing behind my back?"
