The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

If she hadn't taken the opportunity to hide Xie Jingchuan and then fell off the cliff, Xie Jingchuan would have...

The Queen said: "I didn't do this. If you don't believe me, you can kill me. It depends on whether you have the courage!"

Although this is a provocation, it is also her attitude!

Have a clear conscience! If you didn't do it, you didn't do it!

Although she once thought of killing Ye Jingyi, the woman was indeed beautiful and had been kept outside the palace by the emperor.

Since she had no desire for power in the palace, she didn't do anything!

She even let Xie Jingchuan go!

If I had known earlier, I would have been brought to this place by Xie Jingchuan one day!

Even if she dies, she will kill him!

When Zhou Yanzhi saw the queen's frank face, he also began to hesitate.

After all, she didn't remember completely whether the last person Ye Jingyi saw was He Siyao, and she was not sure!

If you really wronged someone...

"Haha! I'll just see that you're being stubborn. Just reflect on yourself in this cold palace. When I produce evidence, I'll definitely bring His Majesty's decree of death!"

After Zhou Yanzhi finished speaking, he took Chunju away.

Chunju was walking behind Zhou Yanzhi, and just as she was about to step out of the palace gate, she suddenly turned back to look at the queen.

That look was like the expression of a hunter staring at his prey.

You can take the life of your prey anytime and anywhere!

When the queen saw Chunju's expression, her scalp tingled and her back felt a little scared.

She had never been so scared even when Zhou Yanzhi was choking her neck just now.

Before she could recover from Chunju's gaze, she heard Zhou Yanzhi say to the guards outside the door.

"From now on, you must serve well. After all, you are the queen, so the food cannot be too bad. I will make delicious food for the queen in the future, and I will trouble you to deliver it!"

Zhou Yanzhi's words directly destroyed He Siyao's plan to send a letter to her mother's family.

He Siyao clenched her fists, her nails digging into the flesh. She swore that one day she would make this bitch pay the price.

But he didn't expect that Nanny Su beside him was relieved!

The moment the door of the cold palace closed, Zhou Yanzhi's expression had not yet changed from that of a smug winner.

I turned around and saw Xie Jingchuan.

"Prince...Prince? Envoy Shen?"

It was hard to tell whether Xie Jingchuan was happy or angry at this moment, and Zhou Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

She didn't know whether Xie Jingchuan heard what she had just said, and if so, how much he heard!

"Let's go to Qiongyu Palace and talk!" Xie Jingchuan said and turned around.

-

When they arrived at the Qiongyu Palace, Xie Jingchuan dismissed all the palace maids, including Chunju.

At this time, there were only two people left in the entire hall!

Xie Jingchuan made sure Chunju had gone far away and was not eavesdropping before he spoke to Zhou Yanzhi.

"Empress Lian, are you hiding something from me?!"

He didn't go to the cold palace on a whim, nor did he do so to mock the queen.

He even let Wanwan go back first!

All along the way, he had been thinking that he must not show up!

Concubine Lian must not appear in the cold palace!

It was obvious at first glance that it was not the Queen who poisoned Old Madam Shen, no one else did it.

It’s Zhou Yanzhi who is acting out of character!

It was Zhou Yanzhi who recommended himself to pick up Shen Sui'an!

Everyone felt that Zhou Yanzhi seemed to have changed his personality, and Xie Jingchuan also had such suspicions.

But Zhou Yanzhi is usually gentle and non-aggressive, and treats people in a gentle and elegant manner.

Xie Jingchuan really couldn't imagine that she was the one who did this.

Until he saw Zhou Yanzhi being sent to the cold palace, until he heard the conversation between the two!

Looking at Xie Jingchuan's behavior, Zhou Yanzhi is not stupid.

She just told it all.

Including self-directed assassinations, bribing palace maids to frame the queen, and poisoning Old Madam Shen!

She accepted all of this!

"The person who stabbed you was Chunju? And the one who stole the jade pendant from the Queen's bedroom and gave it to Shen Sui'an was also Chunju?" Xie Jingchuan asked expressionlessly.

Zhou Yanzhi knelt down anxiously to plead for Chunju, "Your Highness... Chunju has always followed my orders, please don't punish her. I can go and confess to Old Madam Shen, I can also explain the truth to His Majesty, I can even die, but all this has nothing to do with Chunju!"

She was the mastermind behind all this, so if she is to be punished, it cannot be Chunju.

Seeing her like this, Xie Jingchuan felt a little reluctant, "Is Concubine Lian really concerned about this palace maid? How much do you know about her? Concubine Lian also knew about Chunju's martial arts competition a long time ago, right?"

Zhou Yanzhi said frankly: "Chun Ju is a person with a miserable life. I picked her up from the street, but... I only found out about her martial arts skills these days!"

If she hadn't known about Chunju's martial arts competition, she wouldn't have been so eager to attack the Queen.

"The person I have always wanted to deal with is the Queen. I have never thought of harming the General, let alone poisoning Old Lady Shen. The antidote is in the Queen's Palace. As long as the General returns, he will receive it in the Queen's Palace, but...but I didn't expect it to snow so heavily all of a sudden!"

This incident is still the thing that Zhou Yanzhi feels most guilty about.

"Besides that, I swear I haven't hurt anyone else!"

Zhou Yanzhi's voice trembled slightly as he tried to prove his innocence to Xie Jingchuan.

Xie Jingchuan's eyes were cold and unmoved: "Really? Isn't that the palace maid who hit her head against the wall a living life?"

Zhou Yanzhi explained: "She has been terminally ill for a long time and there is no hope for her. Besides, it was she who proposed it. I gave her a large sum of money, and then I fulfilled my promise and let her sister leave the palace early so that she can spend her old age with her mother!"

Xie Jingchuan looked at her coldly: "Did you know that the maid was killed as soon as she left the city, and even her body could not be found?"

When Zhou Yanzhi heard the news, he felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer. He fell to the ground with a pale face.

No one even knows when Xie Jingchuan left!

After Xie Jingchuan left, Chunju immediately came in with the medicine.

Only then did he help Zhou Yanzhi up from the ground.

"My queen, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the prince blamed you?"

As soon as Chunju came in, she saw that Zhou Yanzhi's face looked strange, and she quickly thought of a countermeasure.

The moment Zhou Yanzhi was helped up by Chunju,

Zhou Yanzhi raised his head, his eyes red, and tightly grasped Chunju's collar: "Did you kill that palace maid? Was it you?!"

Her voice was sharp and trembling, full of anger and desperation.

Zhou Yanzhi's temper has always been one of the best. His sudden anger today was definitely not without reason.

Looking at Zhou Yanzhi's expression, Chunju was not at all flustered, but instead had a calm expression.

"Yes, I killed her!"

Zhou Yanzhi felt like the sky was falling and he fell heavily to the ground again.

Seeing this, Chunju wanted to help Zhou Yanzhi up.

But she didn't expect to be pushed away by Zhou Yanzhi.

"My Lady, anyone who knows about this must die. Otherwise, what if someone uses this as evidence against you one day?"

Chunju knelt on the ground and explained to Zhou Yanzhi without any regret on her face.

"Since you have already started a war with the Queen, but you can't even spare a maid, how can you have the courage to fight the Queen?"
