Chapter 428: One muscle
"It's actually them." Jiang Yunxi was a little surprised after looking at the birth date and horoscope. She didn't expect that there were two people. She thought it was done by one person.
"I underestimated them." The empress narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the names on the birth chart.
"Empress, do you want me to take people to capture them and bring them to the palace now?" Jinxia was furious. She knew that the princesses all wanted to become empress, but she didn't expect these two to be so bold.
He was so deliberate in wanting to kill the empress.
"Forget it, let's do it tomorrow morning. Let them have a good sleep tonight." The empress said, mainly because she had to go back to rest. She never slept so late normally.
But Jiang Yunxi said that she could find out tonight, which made her itchy and she had to come over.
Now that she knew who harmed her, she could rest easy.
That night, the capital of Xuanyue Kingdom was calm and peaceful.
The next day.
Nangong Susu was awakened by the sound of kicking the door before she woke up. She was so angry that she sat up and was about to curse, but when she saw who came in, she was so scared that she quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed.
On the other side, Nangong Fengyi also got up quickly.
"Aunt Jinxia."
Nangong Susu and Nangong Fengyi shouted respectfully at the same time, saying that the other party was one of the empress's right-hand men.
"You're fine." Jinxia looked at Nangong Susu and said.
"I, I'm fine..." Nangong Susu had an expression of disbelief. They were arranged here yesterday and only one night had passed. Could it be that Jiang Yunxi had found the murderer last night?
Jinxia looked at the nanny behind her.
The nanny quickly came forward with something in her hand. "Princess Susu, this is the blood-tonifying herb the Empress gave you. Please accept it."
Nangong Susu felt a little numb when she heard the word "reward", but she had to accept it because it was a reward from the empress and she could not refuse it.
"This is specially prepared for you by the Empress, because she took your blood yesterday to feed the peach tree." Jinxia said with a smile. As long as she didn't do anything to hurt the Empress, she could treat her well.
"No need, no need. Aunt Jinxia, have you found the murderer?" asked Nangong Susu. The other maids did not have any blood-replenishing herbs in their hands.
In other words, she has it, but Nangong Fengyi doesn't.
Why not give it to her?
"Princess Fengyi, do you know why the Empress didn't give you blood-replenishing herbs?" The smile on Jinxia's face disappeared. She usually looked like a gentle and dignified woman.
I didn't expect that he had such a vicious heart and used evil magic on the empress.
"Did Fengyi do something wrong?" Nangong Fengyi bit her red lips and whispered.
"Come with me to see the empress now." Jinxia said and left.
Nangong Susu quickly followed with the herbs in her arms, but she wasn't in a very good mood either. Although Jinxia said she was fine, she still didn't know what would happen when she met the empress.
Nangong Fengyi pursed her red lips and quickly followed.
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
"The Empress invites us all into the palace?" Nangong Yao looked at the visitor in surprise.
"Yes, the Empress invites Prince Jing and his entire family to enter the palace." Nanny Qiao said seriously.
Nangong Yao pursed his lips and had to ask the housekeeper to call someone.
In the carriage.
"Your Highness, why did the Empress ask us to come into the palace for no reason?" Princess Jing sat upright, feeling a bad premonition in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen.
Who made the empress so moody?
She hated the empress because she buried her daughter alive.
"Who can guess what the empress is thinking? Let's wait and see after we enter the palace." Nangong Yao said coldly. He had already arranged for someone to go to Tenglong Country to pick up Chenyu yesterday.
I guess she will be back soon.
"Yes." Princess Jing nodded.
In another carriage.
Nangong Qionghua sat by the window. Early in the morning, the empress sent people to Prince Jing's Mansion to invite them into the palace. Thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be the first time.
Based on her understanding of the empress, she would not summon their family into the palace for no reason.
Yesterday, Nangong Susu and Nangong Fengyi were summoned into the palace one after another, and they did not leave the palace last night. You should know that when they came to the palace to see her the day before yesterday, she didn't want to see them.
The carriage soon arrived at the palace.
Nangong Yao walked into the palace with his family and soon arrived at the imperial study. When they entered, people from Prince Ying's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion were also there.
Looking at this situation, Nangong Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Why did the empress call three people from the royal palace over?
"Prince Jing, Prince Ying, Prince Jing, now that you are all here, I will get down to business." After the empress said this, she pulled up her left sleeve, revealing her wrist.
Today the bark on her wrists spread again.
Nangong Yao, Nangong Han, and Nangong Rui were all shocked when they saw the empress's arm. They didn't expect that her skin was like bark as rumored.
"I got a strange disease because of the night pearl and jade Buddha statue given by Nangong Susu." The empress said slowly.
"Empress, this is impossible. Susu would never do anything to harm you." Nangong Han's face changed drastically. She meant that Susu harmed her.
"Don't be impatient, King Ying. Just listen to me."
"yes."
"The Night Pearl and the Jade Buddha statue have been tampered with. There's a piece of human skin inside that's been cast under a spell. The first time I touched the Night Pearl, I wasn't affected, but if I touched the Jade Buddha statue again, I would get sick."
"The person who tampered with the gift was very meticulous. I didn't notice the problem when I opened the gift alone. It turns out that the evil spell will be triggered only when two things are touched." The empress said with a smile, raising her left hand.
"Empress, I know my daughter very well. She is straightforward and stubborn. She doesn't have such a brain and would never think of such a cautious way to harm others." Nangong Han said seriously.
It definitely wasn't her who did it. Someone must have deliberately framed her.
Nangong Susu: “…”
Princess of England: "..."
"King Ying is right. Susu really doesn't have that kind of brain. She was framed." The empress looked at the people from Prince Jing's and Prince Jing's mansions.
Nangong Yao and Nangong Rui had a very bad feeling when they saw her gaze.
"Who is so vicious to frame Susu like this?" Nangong Han said angrily. He almost had the answer in his mind. It was Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion.
Otherwise, the empress would not have invited both families at the same time.
"Prince Jing, Prince Jing, do you know what the night pearl and the jade Buddha statue are about?" There was a gentle and harmless smile on the empress's delicate face.
"Empress, I don't know." Nangong Yao said quickly. He really didn't know.
"Empress, I don't know either." Nangong Rui's heart was pounding. He really hoped that the empress would die soon, but he would not be stupid enough to do this.
There are so many people who want her dead, why should he be stupid enough to be the scapegoat?
"You really don't know?" The empress stood up, majestic and domineering. The reason why she invited all the people from the three royal palaces was to find out whether they knew.
"I can swear to heaven that if I did it, I would not die a good death." Nangong Yao said frankly, because he really didn't do it.
"I swear to heaven, if you find out, I will be struck by lightning." Nangong Rui followed suit and swore.
The empress looked at Nangong Qionghua and Nangong Fengyi, "Do you know what's going on with the Night Pearl and the Jade Buddha statue?"
