Chapter 188 Is it such a big deal?

The hall was completely silent.

Who is the Queen Mother?

How could a champion of palace fighting who emerged from the previous emperor's harem not see the tricks of these concubines under him?

However, the conflicts among the concubines in the palace have never been spoken out loud.

As a result, Si Linglong not only said it, but also turned around and learned from them to take advantage of her power and put the blame on others.

Although the Queen Mother's gaze towards Si Linglong was still sharp, it also contained a bit more interest and inquiry.

It's like a spectator who was originally watching from the sidelines, but becomes more surprised and interested in the plot development that suddenly deviates from the plot.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression change, the concubine who was speaking panicked and hurriedly explained, "The Queen Mother is wronged, I have never been disrespectful..."

Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother waved her hand and interrupted her, "That's enough."

The turbid but powerful gaze turned to Si Linglong, and the Queen Mother said in a stern voice, "Since you want to explain clearly, I will give you the opportunity to explain clearly. I would like to ask, did the emperor go to your place yesterday, and what did you do?"

Regardless of whether these concubines wanted to "kill someone with a borrowed knife", the empress dowager was more concerned about whether they had done anything insulting to Buddhism in the Huguo Temple, in the place where she worshipped Buddha.

Si Linglong knew very well that if she gave a bad answer, the Queen Mother would never let her off easily.

But to be honest, she didn't get any good results either.

It was said that Helian Yue slept with her. Although he did not do anything, it would not sound good if it got out.

Meeting the Queen Mother's gaze, Si Linglong's eyes quickly turned, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The Emperor did come yesterday. When he heard that I was sick, he... read Buddhist scriptures to me for half an hour!"

Si Linglong said the last words out of sheer desperation.

The Queen Mother must have known how long Helian Yue had stayed in her courtyard.

Even if you don't know, you can find out by asking carefully.

This matter could not be covered up, but only she and Helian Yue knew what the two of them had done in there.

She thought that the only plausible excuse for the two of them to stay together would be to recite Buddhist scriptures.

When everyone present heard Si Linglong's answer, they were obviously stunned.

They hadn't thought of this answer.

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, neither saying whether she believed it nor whether she did not believe it.

In this silence, only Gu Qingquan spoke, and his tone was serious, "No wonder, Concubine Lang Gui was just ill yesterday, but she is well today."

This means that she recovered quickly under the influence of the Buddha.

When Si Linglong heard this, her eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Qingquan.

[That makes a lot of sense! I didn’t even think of this connection! ]

Although she didn't expect it, it didn't hurt that Si Linglong reacted quickly, "That's it!"

Bai Qianqian, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud more shamelessly than her.

Who would believe it if they told others that the emperor read Buddhist scriptures to her in her room for half an hour?

Bai Qianqian couldn't help but think that if she could invite the emperor to ask again at this moment, he would definitely be able to expose her lie.

However, this idea is obviously unrealistic.

How could the Queen Mother call the Emperor over for questioning just because of something like this?

Then, the empress dowager's slightly gloomy voice came slowly, but it was directed to the nanny beside her, "If that's the case, Jinxin, you go in person and ask the emperor to come over. I will ask the emperor in person. If I ask clearly, I can also clear the emperor and Lang Guipin's name."

After hearing these words, Si Linglong was stunned.

Bai Qianqian almost laughed herself to death.

The concubines present were all silent: ...

Queen Mother, are you going to play something so big?

No matter how she pretended to be calm on the surface, Si Linglong was already roaring madly in her heart.

[Why doesn't the Queen Mother play by the rules?! ]

[It's over. Helian Yue's testimony won't match up when he comes over later... Helian Yue will definitely be fine, but I'm definitely done for.]
