Chapter 243 Setting up the trap

She took poison right after the incident. This behavior made her look like a assassin, not an ordinary palace maid. Huo Jinchi was naturally furious.

He immediately ordered a detailed investigation.

Not only is it obvious, there are also Wu De Envoys investigating in secret.

But these results will not be achieved in a short time.

However, the people who went to Yu Garden to investigate got the result first. Although there were not many people on duty in Yu Garden at that time, there were people coming and going, and someone still discovered the abnormality.

A palace maid was brought to the palace. "Your Majesty, today I bumped into a flustered eunuch in the Yu Garden. I saw a sack fall out of his sleeve. I just asked him a question and he grabbed the sack and ran away."

"I was wondering why there were pebbles on the road. It turns out they were carried over in sacks by someone." Xu Danying suddenly realized.

Huo Jinchi glanced at her and then asked the palace maid, "Do you know the eunuch? Do you remember his appearance?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Yun Qin who was sitting in the west room, and then she prostrated herself on the ground in gratitude, "I don't know the eunuch, but I saw him heading towards the Yanning Palace!"

These words surprised everyone in the hall, and they all looked at Yun Qin at the same time.

The expression on Yun Qin's face was blank for a moment, and she suddenly realized that this was a trap set for her. If she hadn't saved Lady Shen by chance today, she would be even more speechless now.

She did not look at the concubines who came over, but looked at Hawking Chi. It didn't matter what they thought, what mattered was whether Hawking Chi believed her or not.

Huo Jinchi was looking at her, and when he saw her cold and even indifferent eyes looking at him, he sighed slightly in his heart.

Is it that he doesn't believe in her, or that she doesn't believe in herself?

But at this moment, Huo Jinchi couldn't explain it in detail to Yun Qin. He just looked at her deeply, hoping that she could understand what he meant.

Seeing that there was no flicker in his eyes when he looked at her, and no hesitation, Yun Qin knew that he did not doubt her, and she felt slightly relieved.

Yunqin said nothing, but Tingchun couldn't stand it anymore and immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The maid shrank back at the shouting, but still shouted: "I dare not deceive the emperor, I swear I will never say a word of falsehood! I remember the eunuch's appearance, I will recognize him if I see him!"

What she said was so convincing that it was hard not to believe her.

Except for the Queen, the rest of the people almost wanted to ask the Emperor to immediately investigate the Yanning Palace thoroughly, but none of them dared to speak at this time and could only look at Huo Jinchi.

"Take her away!" Huo Jinchi said coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Danying's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Yun Qin's eyes were cold, taking in her subtle expressions, but she was not the only one who was secretly happy or gloating at the scene. Nie Danying covered his lips with a handkerchief, and he was afraid that he could no longer suppress the smile on the corners of his mouth.

She did not doubt the palace maid's words. Whether she really ran into the eunuch holding the sack or it was deliberately arranged, there must be such a little eunuch in Yanning Palace for her to identify.

I believe that she will be brought to the palace soon and identified in front of everyone, saying that she was the one who ordered everything.

But who set up this situation?

Although Nie Danheng was highly suspicious, she had only been in the palace for a short time and her foundation was not stable, so how could anyone be placed around her?

Queen...

He used to be the one who was most at odds with her, but now he seemed like the person least likely to harm her.

In addition to the overt or covert protection in recent days, it is also because she has now completely leaned on the emperor's side. All favors are false, and interests are sometimes the most reliable.

Fang agreed that it was possible, after all, the Queen Mother was standing behind her.

However, the person Yun Qin suspected the most was Xu Danying, otherwise he wouldn't have been staring at her.

The reason was that when everyone just entered the hall, she said who knew that Shen Yanxin was going to meet Shen Che in Lingyun Tower, and calculated the time when Shen Yanxin would take this route.

Xu Danying suddenly asked her why she was there.

Not only did this interrupt her train of thought, but it also directed all the blame onto her, forcing Rong Xin to come out and explain.

As soon as Fang Danying jumped out, she immediately hid behind him, as if Fang Danying was the only one targeting her.

It’s a pity that Yun Qin is not so easily fooled.

What she was thinking about now was that Xu Danying had always been on good terms with Concubine De, and now he had completely become Concubine De's man.

Was it Xu Danying who did this, or was it Concubine De who instigated it?

As long as the emperor believes in her, Yun Qin has nothing to fear. However, this matter today will definitely not end well. Even if the emperor does it for others to see, he will punish her symbolically.

Yun Qin didn't say anything throughout, which made Huo Jinchi look at her several times. He was worried that she had misunderstood him, but he also wanted to know what she was thinking.

Yun Qin did not say a word to defend herself, which caused the hall to fall into silence.

There were only cries of pain coming from the inner hall and basins of blood brought out by palace maids.

Xu Danying suddenly spoke up again at this time, "Miss Shen has suffered so much. She was fine, but she was plotted to be like this. It's really pitiful."

As she spoke, she pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Yun Qin sneered, knowing that she was trying to flatter the emperor by looking like this.

But others didn't know this, and instead thought she was pretending in front of the emperor to attract his attention.

"It seems that I have been in the palace for too short a time. I didn't even know that Sister Xu has a tragic personality." Fang Danying covered his lips with his fingers and spoke with pure sarcasm in his tone.

Xu Danying didn't look up or pay any attention to her.

Fang Danying became even angrier when he saw this, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Sister Xu may know the pain of childbirth."

This made everyone else laugh, as everyone knew that Xu Danying had never been pregnant. This also made Xu Danying's face change completely, and he looked at Fang Danying with murderous eyes, and there was no trace of the tear-wiping look he had just shown.

Fang agreed with a rude laugh.

The queen glanced at the two of them, then couldn't help but look at Huo Jinchi. She saw that he had his eyes slightly lowered, holding a string of violet jade beads in his hand, as if he was oblivious to the fight between the three.

But his indifference and his attitude of treating the two people as dead said it all.

The Queen couldn't help but curse them in her heart, "They are so stupid!" Now Concubine Shen is still having a hard time giving birth inside, and they don't think about how to comfort the Emperor, but only care about arguing for a short period of time. They are so stupid!

She was still thinking when she heard Nie Danying, who had been silent all this time, suddenly say, "Sister Shen is blessed with great fortune. She will surely give birth to a prince smoothly. Your Majesty, please be at ease and don't worry about your health."

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, there are still smart people.
