Chapter 340: To Have Evil Thoughts Is a Sin

Si Linglong didn't know what Helian Yue was planning yet. After listening to Chen Xiurong's words, she turned to Helian Yue and gently pinched his palm with her fingers.

Once Liangyu died, there was no evidence left, and only Chen Xiurong was left to see whether she had anything to do with the incident.

If you want to use safflower to make her hemorrhage, you must find out about her condition in advance.

But this situation can be divided into two types.

Chen Xiurong took the initiative to inquire, which was premeditated.

But Liangyu took the initiative to tell her that it might just be a way to drag her into the game, so she was innocent.

"Your Majesty, she..." Si Linglong spoke in a low voice, wanting to say that Chen Xiurong probably really didn't know about it.

However, before she could open her mouth, Helian Yue grabbed her hand tightly. He interrupted her and told Wu Lie,

"Although the maidservant is dead, as the master, she cannot escape the blame. Take her away and keep her under guard. We will deal with her after we return to the palace."

Wu Lie nodded, picked up Chen Xiurong and walked out.

Chen Xiurong felt his face turn pale. He wanted to struggle and beg for mercy, but he had no chance to resist in Wu Lie's hands.

Si Linglong saw Wu Lie taking the man away, and hurriedly sat up, "Ayue, I don't think she knows anything about this."

"I know that she was not involved." Helian Yue replied in a calm voice.

Si Linglong was puzzled, "Then why..." they still want to accuse her of a crime?

Helian Yue just looked at her, his eyes seemed to be filled with deep thoughts. He did not explain that he heard the ill intentions in Chen Xiurong's heart, but just said,

"Having evil thoughts is a sin in itself."

Rather than leaving behind a disaster that could erupt at any time in the future, he would rather take precautions before it happens.

Si Linglong was a little confused.

I don't know why he suddenly brought up the topic of harboring evil thoughts, but Chen Xiurong was originally full of bad intentions just like Bai Qianqian. Si Linglong had been attacked by her twice before, so naturally she had no intention of pleading for her.

[Anyway, Ah Yue must have his reasons for doing what he did, I don’t care.]

It has to be said that Helian Yue still admired her "cleverness" in this aspect.

Well, it saves him a lot of talking.

…

On the other side, Wu Lie personally carried Chen Xiurong out of the door and was about to hand her over to Fu Tai who was guarding the other room. However, just as he walked out of the door, he saw a person walking in from outside the courtyard.

It was Gu Qingquan who had received the imperial order to help search the concubines' residences.

She was seen entering the palace with two palace servants. However, because she had just heard that the Secret Guard had suddenly taken Chen Xiurong away, Gu Qingquan knew that there was someone else behind this incident, so she hurried over to see the so-called truth.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I suddenly saw Wu Lie and Chen Xiurong, who was carrying something in his hand like a piece of merchandise.

Chen Xiurong originally had a look of despair on her face, but when she saw Gu Qingquan, she felt like she had seen her savior.

"Empress Tsuen... Empress Tsuen, please save me! I am innocent!"

Gu Qingquan frowned when he heard the voice, but his gaze turned from Chen Xiurong to Wu Lie.

"Master Wu Lie, what's going on?"

Gu Qingquan's voice was clear and there was a questioning look on his face.

Wu Lie seemed to be touched by her voice. His hands suddenly froze and he let go of Chen Xiurong without hesitation.

Chen Xiurong's legs were already weak from being lifted by him, and now the strength holding her was suddenly withdrawn, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Wu Lie, however, didn't even look at the person in front of him.

He stood slightly towards Gu Qingquan, and quietly placed the hand that was holding Chen Xiurong behind his back.

Under the mask, one can vaguely see Lord Wu Lie's slightly pursed lips.

In fact, he normally wouldn't carry a woman like he did just now.

Normally, this kind of thing is usually done by other secret guards.

It's just that I didn't have time today, so I carried it myself.

At this moment, Lord Wu Lie thought with a heavy heart.

Did she notice it just now?
