Chapter 4
[Lou Jinhuan is really crazy to criticize, there is no doubt that what she said before is just foreshadowing, just to lure Yan Ruqing to be alone with her, and then take the opportunity to throw an olive branch, Yan Ruqing helps her, they are people on the same boat, if you don’t help , expose her background, she will surely die]

【How dare she?What if Yan Ruqing doesn't help her?It's too dangerous for her to show her birthmark when she comes up, isn't it? 】

[So she is crazy!What Lou Jinhuan thinks is: Anyway, if I die, they will kill you next, you can figure it out.It is impossible for Yan Ruqing not to consider this, so she has a great chance of winning]

[The Jedi counterattacked and even drew the enemy to be an ally, absolutely!I'm looking forward to the next episode more and more! 】

……

Lou Jinhuan turned around and went back to the side hall, found his clothes scattered on the bed, dressed neatly before going out.

As soon as the door opened, there were two pairs of big watery eyes.

"Empress Dowager, you have been wronged, it's useless to be a servant!" The shorter one knelt down, crying out of breath.

The other one, who was wearing silver-pink clothes, had an ugly face and red eyes, but he refused to cry.

Lou Jin got concerned, and the system passed the memory of the original body to her. She was silent for a moment, and then stretched out her hand to the silver-pink maid: "Chu Yun, help Ai's family back to the palace."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Chu Yun helped her to go outside.

Passing by the kneeling person, Chu Yun hesitated for a moment, but didn't ask.

The crying of the people on the ground stagnated, what happened?Why does the empress dowager ignore her?
Just as she was wondering, Lou Jinhuan suddenly stopped beside her, lowered her eyes and asked in a cold voice: "Chuqing, are you kneeling here because you don't feel sorry for your family's loss?"

The court ladies and eunuchs who came and went nearby couldn't help but look this way, Chu Qing turned pale, and hurriedly got up and said: "This servant is only worried about the Queen Mother."

Lou Jinhuan smiled lightly and walked over.

Chuqing followed anxiously.

All the way without talking, when she arrived at Lou Jinhuan's bedroom, she drove away the other palace people, leaving only Chuyun and Chuqing behind.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Lou Jinhuan said to the people outside: "Close the door—"

The little eunuch immediately closed the door from the outside.

The light in the hall dimmed instantly.Lou Jinhuan sat in the main seat, leaning against the back of the chair, with his hands casually resting on the armrests, looking lazy and revealing an indescribable majesty.

"Kneel down."

Her voice is not loud, but people can't help but listen to it.

Chuyun and Chuqing knelt on the ground obediently, lowered their heads slightly, and could see the jewelry on their heads.

Chuyun only put on a silver hairpin and a few plain beaded flowers, which fit her identity very well, while Chuqing put on a gold-studded jade hairpin, surrounded by pearls, which looked luxurious and exquisite.

Lou Jinhuan's eyes moved down, Chuqing was wearing high-quality clothes, peach pink, which looked quite fresh.

The word "favored" can be seen everywhere.

"Where were you when the accident happened at Ai's house?" Lou Jinhuan tapped the armrest regularly with his fingers.

The sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" makes the heart of the listener tense.

Chu Qing lowered her head and sobbed, "The Empress Dowager said she was tired, and the servants thought that the Empress had drunk too much wine, so they went to the kitchen to serve the Empress Sober Soup."

Lou Jinhuan raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the Ai family tell Chuyun to go?"

Chu Yun pursed her lips, Chu Qing took a look at her, raised her head and said: "My servant saw that she hadn't come back for a long time, so I was afraid that something might happen, so I went to have a look. I didn't expect that the villain would take advantage of the loophole. It is this servant who is sorry for your mother..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears again, with that pretty little face, she was so pitiful.

However, Lou Jinhuan just looked at her blankly, and Chuqing couldn't cry anymore.

what happened?Didn't the Queen Mother soften her heart when she cried in the past?Are you getting irritated today?

"You are the dowry maid of Ai's family. You grew up with Ai's family. You have been around Ai's family for almost ten years, right?"

Chu Qing didn't know what she meant by saying this, so she thought about it and said, "Yes, it's been almost ten years."

Unexpectedly, Lou Jinhuan stood up suddenly and smiled, "Ten years of friendship, after all, can't resist the temptation of power desire."

Chu Qing was horrified, "Your Majesty..."

Lou Jinhuan looked down at her, and said in a relaxed and flat tone, "Tell me, who bought you to let you sprinkle smoke in the incense burner."

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged by this servant! What kind of smoke, what kind of bribe, I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about!"

Chu Yun was also dumbfounded, she looked at Chu Qing suspiciously, "Ma'am, is there any misunderstanding?"

Lou Jin hides a knife in his laughter, "Misunderstanding?"

She raised her hand to pull out the golden hairpin from Chu Qing's head, and said in a delicate tone, "In the past few days, you have changed from your usual sobriety and dressed in fresh and tender colors. You took out all the jewelry you cherished most in the past, and put on makeup and powder every day. My mind wanders from time to time, is it because I pretended to be someone else?"

Chu Qing's face turned pale for a moment, her lips trembled, "Slaves didn't..."

But her voice was visibly weaker, obviously she was guilty of guilt.

Chu Yun was startled, with disappointment in his eyes.

"The Ai family once rewarded you with a similar gold hairpin, but that one has a magnolia flower in the middle, and yours...is a jade carving peony, or a high-quality suet jade, which most people can't afford to give you. Your sweetheart, It's rich."

As Lou Jinhuan spoke, he suddenly asked, "Is it Your Majesty, or the Regent?"

Chu Yun was shocked, looked at Chu Qing, Chu Qing fell to the ground in fright, stared at Lou Jinhuan in a daze, then reacted, knelt down abruptly, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is aware, slaves dare not betray you, slaves The hairpin was given to the servant when she went out to visit the mother before."

"Don't cry until you see the coffin, Chuqing, the Ai family gave you a chance." Lou Jinhuan let go of his hand, the hairpin fell to the ground, and the peonies in the middle fell out, like their broken master-servant relationship.

"Come here—drag Chuqing out, beat her until she is willing to speak, and let the rest of the people stand aside for Aijia to watch, even one less will do."

The eunuchs and guards outside the door rushed in and dragged Chuqing out. Chuqing cried and begged for mercy. Chuyun couldn't bear to look away, but she saw the indifferent gaze of upstairs, and her heart skipped a beat. Kneeling down to show her loyalty, "I will never dare to betray my mother. If you break this oath, you will die!"

Lou Jinhuan nodded: "Go."

"Yes." Chu Yun went out to watch the execution with others.

The board fell heavily on Chu Qing's body, and the shrill cries resounded through the palace.

Lou Jinhuan sat back on the chair and sipped tea slowly.

[Worthy of being an empress, ruthless is just one word! 】

[Chuqing's problem can be seen through clues, and this observation is also awesome!I have goosebumps, and I just like this crisp and neat temperament! 】

[Killing chickens to scare monkeys kills two birds with one stone, it’s just a means of the emperor, now I’m even more curious about who did it? 】

The barrage swiped quickly, and many people took a fancy to it and began to tip.

Listening to the sound of the points being credited, Lou Jinhuan turned pale. These are her ransom money, the more the better.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Qing couldn't hold on anymore, and said that the regent's people had bought her, and as long as it was done, they would give her the position of side concubine.

Lou Jinhuan sneered, not surprised by the answer, wrote a letter to the guards and said, "Have someone bandage her, don't die, carry it out to Fuguo Duke's Mansion, after reading the letter, he knows what to do." How did you do it?"
