Xie Jingchuan and Shen Wanwan, who were standing by, pulled her into their arms to prevent her from falling.

Shen Wanwan threw herself into Xie Jingchuan's arms and heard her strong heartbeat.

She raised her head slightly and saw Xie Jingchuan's smooth chin.

For a moment, my heart started beating uncontrollably!

"What are you doing, Your Highness?" Shen Wanwan pushed Xie Jingchuan away and turned her back to him, afraid that he would notice something was wrong with her.

"Why did you put your hand towards our mother's neck?" Xie Mingxu was a little dissatisfied!

"Brother, I'm doing an autopsy! How can I do it without touching the body?"

The emperor outside the door couldn't stand it anymore, "Prince, stop messing around!"

Since the emperor had spoken, Xie Mingxu had no choice but to step aside.

Shen Wanwan didn't say anything else, but just continued to look at the handprints on the back of the Queen and Nanny Su's necks.

Upon closer inspection, the directions of the two hand prints are completely opposite.

She gestured with her hand and said, "These two people were strangled to death at the same time by the same murderer!"

Xie Jingchuan looked at Shen Wanwan's actions and understood what was going on.

Shen Wanwan complained in her heart: [How strong is this guy's hand? He crushed two people to death at once?]

System: [Host, don't be so modest, you can kill three of them with one hand! ]

Shen Wanwan: [......]

Shen Wanwan ignored it and went out with Xie Jingchuan to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we have found out that the Queen and the Madam were both crushed to death at the same time!"

Emperor: "Have you found out who the murderer is?"

Before Shen Wanwan could speak, Xie Mingxu pointed at the palace maid kneeling beside the emperor.

"You were the one who brought the meal to the Queen Mother this morning. Which palace are you from? Shouldn't Madam Su be in charge of the Queen Mother's meal?"

Xie Mingxu was afraid that the queen would be bullied by the eunuchs and maids in the palace after she was sent to the cold palace.

So he asked for mercy from the emperor early in the morning.

Now the Queen and Nanny Su are both dead! And the one who delivered the meal was a palace maid whom she had never seen before.

Obviously the palace maid in front of him is the most suspicious!

The palace maid was already trembling with fear after Xie Mingxu pointed at her, and now she was shaking like a sieve.

"I...I am a servant of Concubine Lian's palace. I am just a food delivery person and I know nothing else! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

"Noble Concubine Lian? Why is it her again?" Xie Mingxu immediately called the imperial guards, "Come here, bring Noble Concubine Lian over!"

The imperial guards received the order and left immediately.

Xie Mingxu then asked the palace maid, "Why are you the one delivering the meal?"

The emperor did not say anything about this matter. He also wanted to know whether this matter had anything to do with Zhou Yanzhi.

The maid didn't dare to hide it. "It's like this. Imperial Concubine Lian said that she didn't want Su Ma to come out. People like her should stay in the cold palace for the rest of her life. That's why she ordered me to deliver the food. I really don't know anything else! I really didn't kill the Queen!"

Shen Wanwan did not doubt the truth of what the palace maid said.

Anyone who is not a fool can see that this palace maid is an ordinary person and does not know martial arts!

Not long after, Zhou Yanzhi was brought over.

Looking at the palace maids kneeling beside the emperor crying, she thought that the emperor had discovered her selfishness.

She was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, Chunju beside him strode forward and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, I was the one who killed the queen and Nanny Su. The imperial concubine had nothing to do with it!"

Shen Wanwan: “….”

Xie Jingchuan: ...

"What did you say?" The emperor was furious and kicked Chunju to the ground.

Zhou Yanzhi, who was standing by, took several steps back as if struck by lightning. "Chun Ju...what are you talking about!"

Everyone present was controlled by Chunju's words!

Although Shen Wanwan suspected Chunju at first, it was just a suspicion. She didn't expect that this person would come and confess directly.

What is this for?

The werewolf revealed his identity right at the beginning? He didn't even give everyone a chance to show off?

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am responsible for my own actions. I killed the Queen for personal reasons, not because of the hatred between you and the Queen!"

Chunju got up from the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yanzhi while explaining.

Shen Wanwan: [Are you sick? ]

System: [Host, I really don’t understand this Chunju! I am getting more and more confused! ]

"You killed the queen?" The emperor was furious. "Come here, drag this ignorant man away and tear him into pieces!"

This was obviously not the point Chunju made.

But the emperor always listened to only what he liked.

Since I have said that this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yanzhi, let her shut up completely.

As long as this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yanzhi, it's fine.

"Wait!" Before Chunju could say anything, Zhou Yanzhi knelt in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I asked Chunju to do this for me. Please punish me."

Shen Wanwan: [With Concubine Lian's Mary Sue brain, how could she survive until now? ]

System: [That's right, host. This is simply the fugitive Madonna from Notre Dame de Paris! ]

Of course, Zhou Yanzhi admitted it because he thought he knew the reason why Chunju killed the queen.

Chunju still kept her head down, but Shen Wanwan looked at her carefully and saw from her expression that she seemed to have expected Zhou Yanzhi to say that.

Shen Wanwan was very puzzled: [We can complain as much as we want, but Lady Zhou has enough motive to kill the queen, after all, that incident happened a few days ago, but Chunju's behavior is even more incomprehensible! ]

System: [Host, you finally thought of this! She is Zhou Yanzhi's helper, but isn't this a clear betrayal of teammates? If this matter is not to help Zhou Yanzhi, then what other motives does Chunju have? ]

Shen Wanwan: [Maybe there is some personal grudge?]

People like Chunju are set up as cannon fodder in this world.

Even if she wanted the system to check, she didn't know where to start!

But Xie Jingchuan had already looked into this matter before, and there was very little information.

You can tell it's fake at first glance.

But even though Chunju's identity is problematic, her feelings for Zhou Yanzhi are real.

Since it was to help Zhou Yanzhi, why did they make such a fuss?

Could it be that she also has a grudge against Zhou Yanzhi?

"Did you kill my mother?" Xie Mingxu viciously drew out the sword of the imperial guard beside him and stabbed it straight at Zhou Yanzhi.

Zhou Yanzhi didn't hide either, but just closed his eyes as if he was ready to die.

However, after waiting for a long time, no pain came.

With a "clang", Xie Mingxu's sword was kicked away by Xie Jingchuan.

The emperor also stood up anxiously, pointing at Xie Mingxu and yelling, "Asshole! What are you doing?"

Fortunately, Xie Jingchuan reacted quickly, otherwise Zhou Yanzhi would have been killed by Xie Mingxu!

"Father, didn't you hear me? She was the one who killed my mother! She deserves to be put to death!" Xie Mingxu stared at the emperor with a feeling of grievance.

The emperor was also furious at this time.

Originally, he intended to protect Zhou Yanzhi in front of everyone, but who would have thought that she would be so ungrateful!

To let a maid take the blame?

The emperor looked at Zhou Yanzhi and asked, "Noble Concubine Lian, why did you want to kill the queen?"
