"Since this is Chuxiu Palace's business, it has nothing to do with you, young lady. You should go back to your own courtyard first. Now that the prince has left, do you think there is still anyone in the palace who supports you?"

Although every word Zi Yan said was full of sarcasm and ridicule, there was some truth to it.

"Aunt is right, but I have asked Qingxing to invite the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother arrives, she will naturally know what happened."

"You, humph!"

Zi Yan no longer tried to stop her and let her in.

Xiuyun rushed into the room and saw Yingda being surrounded by several palace maids, having her outer clothes dragged off, and being humiliated and beaten.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please don't do that." Xiuyun rushed into the crowd and protected Ying Ding's exposed back.

Concubine Shu's eyes were full of arrogance. When she saw Gu Yunru coming in from outside, she looked displeased and said with a cold and bright face, "Why are you here?"

"I've met Her Majesty Shufei. I heard there was some commotion in the Millennium Palace, so I came to take a look. I wonder what made Her Majesty so angry?"

Gu Yunru looked at Ying Da Ying who was lying on the ground and almost fainted, and felt a trace of pity in her heart. Shu Fei and Ying Da Ying had always been sworn enemies, and now there were few people in the palace, so she became even more presumptuous.

"After investigation, it was found that those people were in an accident in Chuxiu Palace. There are witnesses and evidence, so I invited Ying to the palace for a thorough interrogation. Unexpectedly, she kept refusing to admit her guilt. I had no choice but to torture her to make her confess as soon as possible."

These words sounded quite righteous when spoken by Concubine Shu, but to Gu Yunru, it seemed that she wanted Ying to take the blame. Since no one in the palace could speak for them, she pinned the blame on Ying.

"What I hate most is people who meddle in other people's business. It seems that after I punished Lord Gu last time, he didn't educate his daughter well."

Concubine Shu was cold as ice with a hint of resentment as she stared at Gu Yunru. What she hated most was that someone in the palace was against her. As long as there was such a sign, she would nip it in the bud.

"This matter has nothing to do with other people. I just want to have a good chat with Concubine Shu. Aren't those corpses that were dug up last time from people in the Millennium Palace?"

Before Concubine Shu could speak, her maid Zi Luo's eyes turned red with anxiety. She walked up to her angrily and slapped her in the face when she was completely unprepared. She then scolded Gu Yunru, "How dare you! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.

The person was buried near the Millennium Palace, but he didn't necessarily die there. Maybe someone with ulterior motives wanted to frame him. Lord Xie also did some investigation and found that the person died in Chuxiu Palace, and he also found the nanny from that year."

There was both witness and evidence, but Gu Yunru couldn't find any point to refute it.

If they investigate the case secretly and don't expose it to the light of day, maybe they won't do anything about it.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, the Queen Mother arrived. The Queen Mother always liked quietness and never cared about these things. She only came to the Millennium Palace for Gu Yunru's sake.

When Concubine Shu heard the noise, she did not have the same overwhelming momentum as before. She came before the empress dowager, bowed, and then stepped aside respectfully.

"What happened? I could hear the noise from far away."

The Queen Mother yawned lazily, sat on the chaise longue, looked at Yingda's disheveled appearance, looked at Shufei and asked, "What's going on?"

"In reply to the Queen Mother, after investigation, it was found that all the unjust cases in the palace were caused by Chuxiu Palace, and Yingda Ying was closely related to it, so I want to ask Yingda Ying if she knows anything about the inside story."

"So... you let these old maids start tearing her clothes?" The Queen Mother was most annoyed by the intrigues in the palace. She had always turned a blind eye and let Concubine Shu do whatever she wanted, but she became a little dissatisfied when she saw this.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu said the evidence is solid, but I have a few doubts. These bodies have been missing for several years, and no one in the palace has raised any questions, but suddenly an eyewitness popped up. It's really strange. I beg the Empress Dowager to order a thorough investigation of the case and promise justice to Ying."

Gu Yunru took this opportunity to invite the Queen Mother.

Concubine Shu was a little frightened. Did Gu Yunru insist on going against her?

"Shu Fei, you said you found a witness, who is it?"

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Shu, and a flash of light flashed through her mind. She quickly calmed down and said, "To answer your question, it was an old maid who used to work in the laundry department. She has been in the palace for some time, and she can accurately tell the identities of these corpses.

When they disappeared before, the old maid just thought they sneaked out of the palace, so she didn't dare to report it. In addition, there were changes in the personnel of the laundry department, so no one took this matter to heart, but she didn't expect that these people were dead. "

"What else?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't want to take these things to heart. In order to go through the process, she let Concubine Shu tell the story in detail.

"What happened later was that Miss Gu discovered the body. The palace servants working near Chuxiu Palace could hear the cry of a woman from Chuxiu Palace almost every day.

And Ying promised that she would be favored before, and she would beat and scold them, and treat the servants extremely harshly. Otherwise, how could Lu Yun die in the dry well of Chuxiu Palace?"

Speaking of Lu Yun, Xiu Yun raised her tear-stained face and shook her head, saying, "Our queen has always been very kind to the maids around her. It was Lu Yun who secretly replaced the queen's medicine jar, so she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Lu Yun's death was also a suspicious point, but no one in the palace took it seriously. Who would take the death of a maid seriously? Gu Yunru understood this truth very well, but now that Concubine Shu wanted to pin the crime on Ying Da Ying, she would never agree.

The Queen Mother almost fell asleep after hearing this. After finally hearing the sound of the quarrel subside, she slowly raised her eyes and asked, "Are you all done?"

Concubine Shu lowered her head and said gently, "Empress Dowager, this kind of trivial matter shouldn't bother you. Miss Gu is really making a fuss out of nothing."

"Okay, it's been such a long time, and there have been personnel changes. Whether the identity of the body can be verified is still a mystery. The old maid may not recognize it. Concubine Shu is too arbitrary."

Concubine Shu didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually speak up for Gu Yunru. She was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat and kept admitting her mistakes, saying, "The Queen Mother is right. There is indeed something fishy about this matter. It's unfair for my sister to be punished here."

"Since you knew there was something fishy going on, you shouldn't have made such a big fuss about it, and even resorted to private punishment in the palace, Concubine Shu, you really don't take me seriously."
