Wei Jin'er's face was twisted in severe pain.
She looked at her bleeding ankle and couldn't stop trembling.
Yi Jiang had warned her a long time ago that she must not be injured again before her skin grows back, otherwise, scars will definitely remain.
Wei Jin'er looked at Concubine Shu, imagining that her feet would become ugly in the future, and wanted to whip her bones!
But she didn't dare to move, for fear of worsening her injuries or for fear that someone would find out.
Shi Xiang, who was in the distance, noticed something strange and ran towards this place.
Wei Jin'er suddenly turned her head and looked at her, the anger in her eyes was as fierce as that of a snake and a scorpion, "Come on, catch her! It was she who poisoned my aunt!"
Her arms were straight out, pointing to pick up the incense.
The nails painted with Danko are pink and bright, like a man-eating demon.
When the palace people heard her shout, they were all a little confused and stood there at a loss.
Who doesn't know that Shixiang is Shufei's best confidant, and she is thinking about Shufei so much that she will poison her?
Wei Jiner's personal maid Shen Shuang noticed something was wrong.
Thinking of what was wrong with his master today, something suddenly occurred to him, and his whole body trembled with horror.
But she only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "It was Shixiang who murdered Concubine Shu. Don't be fooled by her appearance, tie her up quickly! Don't let anyone run away!"
Only then did everyone realize that a few servants came forward to stop Shi Xiang, and restrained him with all their hands and feet.
Shixiang was pinned to the ground with her arms behind her back, only a few steps away from Concubine Shu. She looked directly at Concubine Shu with her eyes, forgetting to even struggle.
"Empress! Empress..."
She burst into tears and cried loudly, trying to wake up Concubine Shu.
However, Concubine Shu remained motionless and showed no reaction.
When everyone saw her crying in such pain, they really couldn't believe that she was the one who murdered Concubine Shu.
However, Zhixiang, the eldest palace maid who was serving Concubine Shu together with Shixiang, walked out from the crowd of palace servants and angrily shouted in shock: "Shixiang, my empress treats you like a brother and sister, how could you do such a thing! Could it be that, just Because the empress discovered that you stole the palace property? The empress has already said that she will not pursue it, why do you still want to kill the empress!"
After Shi Xiang was hurt, he turned to look at Zhi Xiang in shock, his lips trembling and his face turned blue: "What did you say?!"
Zhixiang was heartbroken and said, "Shixiang, you are so confused!"
Many palace people present looked at Shixiang in surprise when they heard this. It turned out that she had done such a thing secretly?
If someone in the palace steals palace property, they may be killed with a stick, or their family members may be harmed at worst.
However, some palace servants who gained strength in front of their master and were more courageous would inevitably be tempted to steal some inconspicuous trinkets and send them out of the palace to sell them.
Shixiang obviously meets this condition.
She and Zhixiang were confidant maids from the Wei family who accompanied Concubine Shu to marry into the palace.
In particular, Concubine Shu valued the collection of incense, and she managed everything in the Chunmei Palace in an orderly manner.
Even the little girls are a little afraid of her and don't dare to cheat in front of her.
No one thought that such a person would do such a shameful thing behind his back and dare to murder his master?
Immediately there were whispers nearby.
"Is this true? Why can't I believe it?"
"Zhixiang also followed Concubine Shu into the palace from outside the palace. She also has the best relationship with Shixiang on weekdays. She has identified her personally. How can there be any lies?"
"I really didn't expect that I would be so serious in front of others, but I would be so secretive behind my back..."
Shixiang looked at the disdainful looks around him and looked at Zhixiang in confusion: "What nonsense are you talking about? Have I ever stolen palace property?"
Zhixiang was about to cry and said: "Shixiang, I saw with my own eyes that you hid something in the room. People can find it out with just a search, so there is no need to waste words."
With that said, she pointed to the room where the two little palace maids went to search for incense.
Shi Xiang's expression changed from shock to realization, and it only took a moment for him to understand, "You framed me?"
Zhixiang's eyes were cold and she said: "Shixiang, you are addicted to stealing. I tried to persuade you many times, but you didn't listen. This time, the empress finally found out, but she missed you and waited for you for many years and didn't want to pursue it. Why? Are you going to kill me? Your Majesty treats you badly, how can you bear it?!"
When Shixiang heard that she not only framed him for theft, but also confirmed that he had killed Concubine Shu, he felt something in his heart, "So it was you?"
Her eyes were splitting, and she struggled to pounce on Zhixiang, but she couldn't move because she was restrained. Her knees were scratched by the cold hard floor tiles, and there was faint blood oozing out.
"Zhixiang! You are worse than a pig or a dog! No wonder something happened at the Spring Meeting Palace that day. The queen dug the ground three feet and couldn't find the poisoner. It turned out to be you! It was you!"
Picking up the incense and regretting it!
She never expected that the person hiding beside Concubine Shu and working for the fourth prince would be Zhixiang!
In Shixiang's heart, although Zhixiang is not stable enough to take charge of her own affairs, she is obedient and sensible, and has been with Concubine Shu for many years, so she is a trustworthy person.
But the way she looks now, it's obvious that there's something fishy!
Her eyes wandered between Zhixiang and Wei Jin'er, and she suddenly understood.
Zhixiang must have informed the fourth prince of Concubine Shu's plan in advance. In order to marry Wei Jin'er as the prince's concubine, the fourth prince had long wanted to get rid of Concubine Shu's obstacle, so he asked Wei Jin'er to enter the palace today and use his plan to kill Shu. Concubine!
"You...you are so brave..."
Shixiang struggled hard and saw a guard of honor flashing in the distance, as if he was rushing over to get the news from the queen.
Zhixiang looked back and her eyes were condensed, her pupils shrank for a moment, but she tightened her expression, turned back to look at Shixiang and said coldly: "What, now that things have come to this, you still want to bite me back?!"
As if she was extremely angry, she raised her foot and kicked Shixiang hard.
This kick took a lot of strength. Shixiang was unprepared and was kicked hard in the throat by her!
Shixiang screamed, and then became speechless, lying on the ground tremblingly.
"The Queen is here!"
The voice of the chamberlain sounded, and Queen Wang finally came closer, but she couldn't even pronounce clear words when she picked up the incense.
Her eyes widened in pain, despair filling her body.
Queen Wang frowned at her and walked straight towards Concubine Shu.
Without instructions, the palace people did not dare to move Concubine Shu's body at will, so when she came forward, Concubine Shu still maintained the position where she had just fallen to the ground.
Queen Wang's heart trembled, and she reached out to feel her breath, but she was startled.
Concubine Shu is not dead...
Logically speaking, if someone wants to poison someone, they will definitely use strong poison to ensure a sure hit.
It is impossible for someone like this to be alive after being poisoned for a long time.
Or is it because Concubine Shu is using her tactics to act?
Queen Wang squinted her eyes and looked around at everyone, "You haven't invited the doctor yet!"
A very discerning palace official replied: "The Queen, I have already sent someone to clean it up..."
Queen Wang was slightly relieved after hearing this and looked at Wei Jin'er.
Wei Jin'er had calmed down at this time and knelt down with a plop: "Queen, aunt, aunt, she..."
"What the hell is going on?!"
Queen Wang's heart was filled with thick black clouds, and her face looked very ugly.
Concubine Shu has always been very sensible since she entered the palace. She has never exceeded the rules in the slightest.
And her life and death is related to her connection with the Wei family.
How could Queen Wang not be angry!
Facing Queen Wang's sullen look, Wei Jin'er held her ankle, crying in fear and pain, and said: "Today, my aunt summoned Jin'er to the palace to talk, but as soon as Jin'er sat down, my aunt had a seizure... …Jin’er doesn’t know what’s going on…”
When Queen Wang heard this, she glanced at her ankle, which was still soaked in blood and now half-dried black. It's as if the dead silence behind the fresh life will appear in front of people inadvertently and give them a heavy blow.
Wei Jin'er paused and said, "The maids around my aunt just now had a quarrel, and it seems to be related to my aunt's death..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shixiang who was twisted to the ground. Zhixiang quickly walked to Queen Wang and said, "The Queen is sure that Shixiang killed the Queen!"
Queen Wang squinted at Zhixiang.
Isn't this another eldest maid next to Concubine Shu?
Just as she was about to ask in detail, the palace maid who had been sent to search the incense-collecting room came back with several "stolen items" in her hands.
