Her eyes were panicked and anxious.
"Someone in Changle Palace must have done this evil thing behind my back."
Fuquan ignored what Concubine Lin said.
"Several people have indeed been to Concubine Lin's palace, and the people in the flower room have all identified them one by one. I have also interrogated the palace maids in Changle Palace. The witnesses and evidence have definitely confirmed that Concubine Lin is the one who murdered the Empress."
Then Fuquan turned to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin is indeed the most suspicious person now. To be on the safe side, I think we can take Concubine Lin's personal maid Yuqi to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation. In this way, everything will be revealed."
When Concubine Lin heard this, she immediately became nervous, although she firmly believed that Yuqi was loyal to her.
But how could Yuqi possibly endure a terrifying place like the Ministry of Punishment where one could never return and where air could enter but not leave?
Yuqi knew clearly all her plans after entering the palace.
If Yuqi couldn't hold it in and told everything, she would be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Lin Fei's eyes were filled with fear and panic, and her voice was a little hysterical.
"You little dog slave, Yuqi is my personal maid, how can you just take her to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation? The physical evidence you are talking about should be musk, right?"
"There are both in my palace and in Concubine Shu's Yongning Palace. Why don't you suspect Concubine Shu and directly convict me?"
Fuquan's eyes darkened slightly. Concubine Lin really wouldn't cry until she saw the coffin.
Your Majesty had already discovered through secret channels that Concubine Lin was the one behind the plot.
However, as the emperor, Your Majesty naturally has to punish openly, and he is unwilling to expose some of the spies planted in the previous dynasty and the harem, so he is conducting an open investigation today.
Jun Zechen frowned, his eyes full of disgust, and stared at Lin Fei coldly, as if he was looking at a disgusting reptile.
What a vicious woman.
"Shu Fei doesn't agree with your maid Yuqi entering the Ministry of Punishment. Could it be that she wants to enter the Ministry of Punishment herself?"
Jun Zechen's voice, without a trace of warmth, slowly sounded.
When Concubine Lin heard this, she widened her eyes in horror, tears streaming down her face like a flood, her lips trembling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, your concubine..."
Her face was filled with panic and helplessness, and she had no idea how to justify her dire situation.
When Concubine Shu heard His Majesty's cold words to Concubine Lin, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
When Concubine Shu heard that there was musk in Changle Palace, she felt a little scared.
She thought she was doomed today and that someone must have deliberately framed her.
After all, she had never used musk.
Concubine Lin slumped on the ground, looking around, and then looking at the emperor and the queen who were high above her.
There was something crazy in his expression.
"Your Majesty, there is also musk in Concubine Shu's palace. Just because you favor Concubine Shu, do you have no doubts about her?" Concubine Lin shouted hysterically.
After hearing this, Jun Zechen's face instantly turned gloomy. He wanted to turn around to see Yaoyao's expression, but he held back.
This damn Concubine Lin actually dared to sow discord between him and Yaoyao so blatantly!
At this time, the virtuous concubine who had been watching the show for a long time also slowly opened her mouth.
"Your Majesty, even if the musk in the Concubine's palace was not used to murder the Queen, there should never be such a dirty thing as musk in the concubine's palace."
After Xianfei finished speaking, she looked at Shufei and asked, "Shufei, won't you explain?"
Concubine Shu looked at Jun Zechen with a firm and innocent look on her face, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know why this musk is in Changle Palace. I was framed."
Concubine Lan (the second princess of Canglang Kingdom), who was below Concubine Xian, looked at Concubine Shu meaningfully.
With the help of that person, Concubine Lan successfully put musk into Concubine Shu's Yongning Palace.
It was originally thought that the real murderer who murdered the queen could hide himself well and let Concubine Shu take the blame.
But unexpectedly, Concubine Lin, who plotted to murder the queen, was such an unintelligent person.
Things like musk were not disposed of early, but were found by His Majesty's men.
Yuqi, who was beside Concubine Lin, was kneeling on the ground in a daze.
She asked herself over and over again in her heart: Do I really have to go to the Ministry of Punishment?
She had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment once before because of Concubine Shangguan, and she knew that she could not bear it at all.
Fuquan had already ordered the eunuchs to take her away. Yuqi immediately cried for help: "Master, save this servant, Master."
Princess Lin looked at Yuqi crying and felt very sorry for her.
But she was powerless at the moment.
When Yuqi saw that his master had turned his back on him, he felt extremely desperate.
"Your Majesty, Queen, this incident was indeed the master's attempt to frame Consort Shu and murder the Queen. I confess everything, I confess everything."
Lin Fei turned her head in shock and stared at Yuqi, "You..."
Her lips trembled, but she could no longer utter a word.
