Chapter 473 Isolating Shuangjiang
The emperor had been investigating this matter for the past few days, and he had also made some progress. He was almost exhausted .
After saying this, the sound of steady breathing sounded above Jiang Xinyue's head.
The emperor had fallen asleep.
There was a dim oil lamp in the room. Because Shuangjiang was injured, it was the magpie who slept outside to keep watch.
She also heard the conversation between the emperor and the empress, and her not-so-smart little head could not answer the question raised by her empress.
Why did the murderer target Shuangjiang?
Why didn't he target her?
Jiang Xinyue felt that as long as she associated the strange man who had not been found before and could paint skin and change faces, it would be easy to get the answer.
Because Shuangjiang is introverted and low-key, she hardly interacts with people in other palaces except those in Kunning Palace.
She doesn't have particularly good relationships with anyone, nor does she have particularly bad relationships with anyone. It seems that she is just a casual acquaintance with everyone. For
someone like her, even if there are slight differences in personality and speech, it is difficult for others to notice.
Xijue is different...
Not to mention that Xijue grew up with Jiang Xinyue since childhood, and knows her personality very well. She can understand what the other person means with just one look.
For example, Xijue's noisy, fierce and powerful personality is not something that ordinary people can imitate.
Which palace maid or eunuch in the palace doesn't know Xijue?
If you target Xijue, you will not only have to deal with everyone she knows in the palace, but also have to deal with Jiang Xinyue, which is very difficult. She still has her fiancé, Meng Qingyu!
In short, if she targets Xi Que, it will be too easy to be exposed.
That person wants to change Shuangjiang's face and get close to Jiang Xinyue.
Then it will be easy to kill the crown prince or the seventh prince.
The next day, the emperor went to court early. Jiang Xinyue had something to worry about, so she also got up early.
After Xi Que helped her wash up, she called Shuangjiang over.
Shuangjiang in the hall had medicine on her forehead. Jiangchuan and Xiao Xiangzi found it for her to reduce swelling and remove scars.
Although they did not plead for Shuangjiang, they took care of her with their actual actions.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the man with the painted skin is the same person who wants to harm the Seventh Prince and the Third Princess?"
"If not, her behavior cannot be explained."
Originally, the man with the painted skin gave Mu Qianqian a skin that looked like Jiang Xinyue's in order to sow discord between her and the Emperor.
He was targeting her, and it was very reasonable for him to harm her child now.
"Then what should I do?"
Shuangjiang leaned over and Xi Que lowered her head to listen carefully to her majesty's plan.
By the time Jiang Xinyue had arranged everything, the sun had risen, but it was still a little cold in the morning after the weather turned to autumn.
The eunuchs and maids from each palace would always pretend to pass by Kunning Palace to inquire about the news inside.
Usually, I wouldn't hear anything, but today was different.
Wasn't white phosphorus powder found in Shuangjiang's room the day before?
There seems to be some noise today.
Xi Que's sharp voice rang out: "I treat you as a good sister, and this is how you treat me? The Queen provides you with good food and drink, but you help outsiders to harm the two young princes?"
"You are used to pretending and being obedient in front of the Queen on weekdays, but you show your true colors when others give you a little benefit? I tell you, the Queen is soft-hearted and trusts you, but I, Xi Que, am not easy to fool. From now on, you all stay away from her. Whoever dares to talk to her will see how I, Xi Que, drive you out of Kunning Palace."
The big sister of Kunning Palace has spoken, and no one dares to disobey her. After all, Xi Que has absolute right to speak in front of the Queen.
"Has Frostjiang of Kunning Palace been isolated by Xi Que?"
"Yes! Because of the fire in Kunning Palace a few days ago, it was heard that Frostjiang was bribed, but the Queen Mother did not believe it and kept her!" "
Xi Que is loyal to the Queen Mother and must be disgusted with Frostjiang! In recent years, Frostjiang has been gaining the status of a senior palace maid. Who knows how dissatisfied Xi Que is in her heart!" "
Well, she finally got the chance. With her hot temper, Frostjiang will suffer a lot."
It was the time for the palace maids to have lunch at noon. The palace maids' quarters and the eunuchs' quarters were crowded. Frostjiang prepared the food and wanted to sit with the palace maids of Kunning Palace as usual.
But as soon as she put down her bowl and before she had time to sit down, the palace servants at the table scattered, as if she was something dirty that could not be approached or touched.
It would have been fine if they treated her like a plague, but the little palace maids and eunuchs who usually served Sister Frost threw leftovers at her.
"You are such an ungrateful villain, are you worthy of eating at the same table with us?"
"That's right, you have betrayed the Queen Mother, and from now on you are our enemy. Sister Xi Que said that you can't leave Kunning Palace and asked us to drive you away." "It
's better to have some self-knowledge. The Queen Mother didn't have the heart to punish you because of our old friendship. You should be grateful that Dai Ze left on his own. Why are you still clinging to Kunning Palace to suck blood? Do you think Sister Xi Que is a vegetarian?"
"Bang!"
"I didn't, it wasn't me!"
The dining table was overturned by Shuangjiang, and she screamed like crazy: "I said it wasn't me! It wasn't me! The queen believed me, why did you treat me like this?"
She roared: "What do you mean by revenge for the little prince? Xi Que is just jealous of me, jealous that the queen uses me, so she wants to take the opportunity to get rid of me, right? She has disliked me for a long time, does
n't she think I don't know?" The eunuchs and maids in Kunning Palace were all shocked. Could Sister Shuangjiang be really angry?
They agreed to act, why did she suddenly explode?
Was she acting or was she really angry?
They were so scared that they didn't dare to say anything.
"You...you...why are you so vicious? Originally...originally you were wrong!"
One of the maids under the magpie was brave enough to answer even though she was shaking with fear. Only then could Frost continue the performance.
"What did I do? I said I didn't do it! Why don't you believe me? Why don't you believe me?"
She yelled like crazy beside the overturned table, her mentality collapsed, which was exactly what some people wanted to see.
If you want to kill someone, you must first make him crazy.
The corner of a plain-colored dress flashed past the corner of the wall, conveying what happened here.
Mu Tan had just finished speaking when Concubine Liang covered her mouth and took a deep breath: "Xi Que looks sweet and cute, but she can be ruthless when she gets ruthless!"
How good was her relationship with Shuang Jiang before this happened!
Even sisters have quarrels and fights, not to mention that in a strict sense, Shuang Jiang and Xi Que are in a competitive relationship.
In front of the Queen, there is no room for two palace maids in charge.
Everyone was watching Shuang Jiang's good show, and no one lent her a helping hand, which shows that Xi Que's reputation should not be underestimated.
