The Queen Mother has just arrived at the Yikun Palace
A group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded her and slowly walked into the palace.
The Queen Mother walked steadily towards where Jiang Meiyu was.
His eyes were full of concern.
When I got close to Jiang Meiyu
The Queen Mother stopped
Reaching out and gently stroking Jiang Meiyu's cheek
Her voice was soft and filled with worry. "Yu'er, come here quickly. Let me take a closer look. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jiang Meiyu heard the Queen Mother's words
He quickly bowed and saluted with graceful movements.
Showing its noble temperament.
Then she looked up and smiled
She comforted the Queen Mother softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am fine and not injured."
Concubine Wen, who was standing by, saw this scene.
A strong fire of jealousy surged in my heart.
She thought to herself
She's just a concubine.
How could he receive such care from the Queen Mother?
Thinking back to when I entered the palace
But I have never seen the Queen Mother care about me so much.
Could it be that Jiang Meiyu is really the reincarnation of the legendary fox spirit?
It's so easy to bewitch people!
At this time, the Queen Mother had already slowly sat down on the main seat.
He turned his head and looked at Emperor Long Wen with a serious expression.
He warned in a serious tone, "Emperor, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. No leniency should be shown to the traitors. Not a single criminal should be spared!"
Emperor Longwen nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. I will do my utmost to get to the bottom of this matter."
On the other side, Mu Jieyu was kneeling on the ground.
His body was shaking with fear.
Emperor Longwen looked down at her
A face full of majesty
She sternly rebuked him, "Mu Jieyu, Yun Duo from the Imperial Household Department has already confessed everything. What else do you have to say now?"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I know nothing! All of these things were done by that lowly maid Tan'er alone. I have nothing to do with them. I truly know nothing!"
Mu Jieyu argued at the top of her lungs
That delicate face seemed distorted by fear and anger.
Tan Er beside
I kept crying silently
Her thin body trembled slightly
Like a candle swaying in the wind.
Tears kept pouring out of her red and swollen eyes
Slide down the cheek
dripping on the cold ground
A small puddle of water formed.
However, facing Mu Jieyu's accusations
She never said a word in rebuttal
Just sobbing.
At this time, Jiang Meiyu slowly walked to Tan'er's side
He squatted down and looked at her with a gentle yet majestic gaze.
She said softly, "Tan'er, I just heard from Yunduo that your parents are both seriously ill, and you have three younger siblings to care for. The family's livelihood depends solely on you. If you can tell me the truth, I will definitely ask His Majesty to show mercy and spare your death penalty."
Tan Er heard this
The last line of defense in my heart was instantly broken.
She raised her head and looked at Jiang Meiyu with tearful eyes.
Her lips trembled as she spoke, "Empress Chen, all of this... all of this was indeed ordered by Concubine Mu. Tan'er was forced into this. If Tan'er didn't obey her orders, Concubine Mu would beat and kick me, and even threatened to drive me out of the palace, leaving me and my family helpless."
After that, she knocked her head heavily on the ground again.
Make a "bang bang" sound.
"How dare you, you slut, slander me! When did I ever order you to do those things? You're clearly trying to frame me!"
Mu Jieyu roared angrily
The sound was so sharp that it almost pierced one's eardrums.
"Empress Chen, please trust me! Even if I had a hundred or a thousand guts, I would never dare to murder you!"
Tan Er continued to kowtow on the ground
He pleaded in a crying voice.
Every time you kowtow
It's like I've used up all my strength
A bruise soon appeared on his forehead.
"Tan'er, please tell me the truth quickly. Where did you get the poison you gave Yun Duo?"
Jiang Meiyu frowned
He stared fiercely at the trembling Tan'er in front of him.
Then he asked again.
Tan Er fell to her knees with a thud.
Tears burst out like a dam
She was sobbing
While sobbing, she said, "Your Majesty, please understand! This poison is not mine. It was Concubine Mu who forced it upon me!"
However, Jiang Mu suddenly became furious.
She pointed at Tan'er and shouted angrily, "How dare you, you ignorant slave, spout such nonsense! I have no idea what poison is, much less have I ever seen the kind of poison you're talking about! What's your motive in slandering me so wantonly? Are you being deliberately framed by someone?"
Emperor Longwen's face, which had been a little gentle at first, suddenly turned gloomy.
As depressing as the dark sky before a storm
His eagle-like sharp eyes shot straight at Mu Jieyu who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
He uttered coldly, "It seems Concubine Mu really won't cry until she sees the coffin! Come, torture me immediately!"
This roar was like thunder from out of nowhere.
Everyone present was shocked.
