Chapter 165 The Queen is a bit tough
"I will follow the Queen Mother's orders." Lu Xiang said.
Queen Song said, "I will search the servants around the Queen Mother together with the servants of Concubine Shu. What do you think, Queen Mother?"
Not a big deal.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was about to smoke, but at this point, if she didn't agree with the Queen, she would not be able to search Lu Xiang successfully.
The Queen was just deliberately going against her, so she just had to endure it for now, as long as the final result was what she wanted.
"Just as the Queen said."
Then, the Empress and Consort Shu each sent one person to search the palace maids who were accompanying the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Garden today. They entered the side hall one by one and came out one by one, but it was obvious that nothing was found.
After the servants finished searching her, a maidservant beside the Queen Mother walked up to Lu Xiang and said, "Miss Lu, please."
Lu Xiang followed the nanny to the inner hall.
A smile flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes, and she looked at Queen Song meaningfully. Suddenly, she saw Queen Song looking at her. Concubine Shu didn't have time to retract her gaze and was caught by the Queen.
"Why is Concubine Shu laughing so obscenely?"
Concubine Shu was so angry that her face turned black: "Why does the Queen humiliate me?"
"Ha!" Queen Song sneered, "You asked me to humiliate you, so you blame me?"
This scoundrel's look almost made Concubine Shu so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Such a woman could actually become the queen. The emperor must have been deceived by Song Nanyue's illusion.
Lu Xiang took a while to get in there.
When she and the nanny came out one after another, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu were both stunned for a moment. How come they... came out?
Shouldn't Nanny, who discovered the jade bracelet, have yelled in the inner hall and then escorted Lu Xiang out?
"Your Highness, the jade bracelet is not on Miss Lu's body."
"How is it possible?" Concubine Shu subconsciously sat up straight and exclaimed: "Since it is not on her, she must have taken the opportunity to hide it somewhere else. Queen Mother, in my opinion, you will be able to find out the truth after a severe torture."
BANG——
As soon as Concubine Shu finished her words, Empress Song grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at her.
"ah!"
The cup hit Concubine Shu, spilling tea all over her, then rolled to the ground and broke into pieces. Concubine Shu screamed in fear: "What is the Queen doing?"
The Queen Mother was also startled by the Queen's sudden action, but after she came to her senses, she did not question it immediately.
I was really shocked by Queen Song's ferocity.
"Shufei, if I hear you say a word again, I will make you know what it feels like to be tortured." Queen Song stared at her coldly, her phoenix eyes gleaming with a sharp edge.
Concubine Shu realized belatedly that she had just said something subconsciously that had caused the Queen to become so furious, and her face suddenly turned ashen.
Is the queen crazy for the daughter of a minister?
Concubine Shu just felt like there was a rage in her chest that she couldn't vent.
At this time, Concubine Xian and Chu Pan'er arrived one after another. Neither of them knew what had happened. As soon as they entered the main hall, they felt the tense atmosphere and their hearts tightened.
"Your servant pays homage to the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Queen." Concubine Shu bowed.
Chu Pan'er immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to the Imperial Grandmother, and to the Queen Mother."
After the ceremony, the two stood aside, at a loss as to what to do.
"The people have arrived. The Queen Mother will send someone to search."
Concubine Xian was startled: "What are you searching for?"
Queen Song glanced at Concubine Xian lazily with her dark eyes and said, "The Queen Mother's jade bracelet is lost and it is suspected that someone has taken it. So why not search all the people who were in the Imperial Garden just now to see who stole it without a care in the world."
Concubine Xian subconsciously looked towards Lu Xiang, with surprise and confusion in her eyes?
Wasn't it the Queen Mother who dug this trap for Lu Xiang? How did it end up with them?
Queen Song's eyes were filled with ice, cold and gloomy: "What are you looking at, Concubine Xian? The servants around the Queen Mother and my servants have all been searched, even Miss Lu San. Just now in the Imperial Garden were you and Chu Pan'er. Since they are all suspects, we can't just focus on one person and accuse him."
When Concubine Xian heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
The Queen's words...seem to indicate she knows something?
Before Concubine Xian could figure it out, the Queen waved her hand and ordered people to take the two men's maids and eunuchs away for a body search.
"Empress Dowager, Pan'er and I would never do such a thing." said Concubine Xian.
"Why is Concubine Xian so anxious to explain? Just because you two can't do it doesn't mean that the servants under you are clean." Queen Song said.
At this time, the nanny hurried out from the inner hall, holding a bracelet in both hands: "Queen Mother, I found it."
The bright red color looked very much like blood, with a thin golden thread flowing slowly inside. It lay quietly in the nanny's hand, looking particularly dazzling.
The Queen Mother stared in shock.
Concubine Shu also stared at the jade bracelet in a daze, feeling extremely surprised.
She wanted to speak, but was afraid that the Queen would really use her as a target, so she could only keep winking at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took the jade bracelet handed to her by the nanny, and her face looked as ugly as if she had swallowed a fly.
Found it?
It's not on Lu Xiang, nor on her maid. How is this possible?
The Queen Mother wanted to question loudly, but she had to save face.
By asking this question, she was telling everyone that she was plotting against Lu Xiang, and Song Nanyue would probably not even give her face by then.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Queen Song ask in a sarcastic tone, "Found it? On whom?"
The nanny raised her head and glanced quickly at the Queen Mother, then swallowed.
Things were out of the Queen Mother's control, and with the Queen around, they couldn't be easily resolved.
The next moment, a palace servant came out, escorting a palace maid.
It's rouge!
When Concubine Xian saw that man, her face changed drastically.
"Impossible." Chu Pan'er screamed in disbelief.
Why was the jade bracelet found on Yanzhi?
Concubine Xian's mind was in a mess. When did Lu Xiang put the bracelet on Yanzhi?
Could it be the queen?
By the way, the Queen clearly left the Imperial Garden at that time, but she suddenly called Yunlu back and asked Pan'er to go to Jingren Palace.
It must be Lu Xiang who discovered the bracelet, which is why he asked the queen to do this.
She actually discovered the Queen Mother's frame-up?
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian was filled with shock, and Lu Xiang did not dare to underestimate her.
"Please spare my life, Queen Mother. I am innocent. I did not take the jade bracelet. Please investigate clearly, Queen Mother." Yanzhi was forced to kneel on the ground with her hands clasped in her hands, and kowtowed for mercy.
I was also shocked by this sudden change.
She didn't know the Queen Mother's plan, and Chu Pan'er didn't know either.
Queen Song slammed the table angrily and said, "You bastard, I always saw you as a decent person, but I didn't expect you to be so dirty."
Yanzhi was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled constantly: "I really didn't steal, Queen Mother, Queen, please believe me."
Queen Song raised her cherry-red lips in an almost undetectable arc, and said sarcastically, "Now that the things have been found on you, the evidence is irrefutable, and you still dare to quibble. Do you really think that the Queen Mother can be fooled by you at will?"
