The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The queen looked at her face, and a hint of almost uncontrollable pleasure flashed in her eyes.

She really hated and disliked this woman, even more than Concubine Gao.

His Majesty had become so different for her that she almost didn't recognize him, and he even devoted his love to her.

How can an emperor fall in love with a woman?

If Zhaoyue doesn't die, her throne will be in jeopardy.

While Zhao Yue was looking at the blood on the ground, shocked, uneasy, and just the right amount of scared, her eyes turned to Zhu Dingyuan, as if he was ignoring her.

Zhu Dingyuan spoke up: "Don't come over, just stand there."

The queen clenched her palms.

Even now, he was still concerned that she would be scared when seeing such a scene.

Zhaoyue stopped walking. She could only see the back of the snowman and looked at them in confusion.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Queen. I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The Queen nodded: "Sister is always the first to pay respects, punctual and polite, but what happened?"

She said with concern: "I heard that there were weapons on the road to Chuntang Palace that injured someone. Is my sister okay?"

When was the earliest she paid her respects?

Zhao Yue gave the queen a sweet smile, but her words were not polite: "Your Highness, the Queen is worried about you, but I don't like what these ignorant servants said, so I will punish them a little."

The queen choked, not knowing whether to praise her or blame her, and looked at Zhu Dingyuan.

Look how domineering and arrogant she is, Your Majesty, what do you think?

Zhu Dingyuan's eyes flashed with a smile: "I also think that these little servants in the palace are particularly talkative and should be punished. Today, Yue'er killed a chicken to scare the monkeys, and I think they dare not spread rumors anymore."

Zhao Yue looked at him in admiration: "Yes, I know Your Majesty doesn't like to hear servants gossiping. These servants keep saying that they want to serve in Fengyi Palace, so I will let them go, Your Majesty, okay?"

The Queen's forehead was covered with sweat, and she smiled: "Your Majesty, the low-ranking servants are chasing fame and fortune, and they have come up with this method to alienate the relationship between me and my sister. I think it is better to send them to the Ministry of Punishment, so that everyone will not follow this method to get close to Fengyi Palace."

Zhu Dingyuan raised his eyebrows: "According to what the Queen said, just kill him."

The maids and servants present, as well as Chen San, all looked unhappy.

Zhaoyue's red lips curved slightly. She herself said that she had killed those who worked for the Queen.

It's really not easy to serve such a master.

The crazy maid screamed at Zhao Yue: "It's you! It's you who killed the young lady!"

She pounced on Zhaoyue, but unfortunately Zhu Dingyuan was faster than her.

Wei Ruoming drew out his sword, but was pushed back by He Quan. They stood behind Zhao Yue.

Seeing Zhu Dingyuan hugging Zhaoyue tightly in his arms, his blue eyes were tinged with anger: "Tie her up!"

Zhao Yue leaned against him like a helpless little fox: "Your Majesty."

Concubine Fang's nervous heart suddenly calmed down.

What is she worried about? With His Majesty's love for Zhaoyue, he can overcome all difficulties for her and protect her well.

The Queen looked at their squinting eyes and her face turned pale. "Your Majesty, today's events are really strange. Everything is pointing at Imperial Concubine Zhaochun. I don't think Imperial Concubine Zhaochun is that kind of person. How could she kill innocent people?"

She looked at Concubine Fang: "What do you think?"

Zhaoyue had just come back from the palace after beating a servant, so it was a bit strange to ask her to praise Zhaoyue for being gentle and good-tempered.

Imperial Concubine Fang looked at Zhu Dingyuan and said, "Your Majesty, this maidservant is in a trance and has gone crazy. But when she saw Imperial Concubine Zhaochun, she became eloquent. When she saw me just now, she was also scared. Could it be that I am also involved in this matter?"

Zhaoyue looked at Concubine Fang with some emotion. She had joined the game herself, hoping to take half of the blame pointed at her.

But today, the queen's goal is not to make her a murderer, but to plant a seed in the palace.

A she Zhaoyue is the seed of ghosts.

When the crazy maid heard Concubine Fang's words, her body stiffened.

Huang Quan came out, and the eunuchs dumped the things on the ground: "Your Majesty, these were found in Young Master Shen's room. They are all... portraits of the Imperial Concubine."

Every expression of Zhaoyue is lifelike, as if it had been carefully painted for a long time.

The maid Xiaoying who found the snowman also spoke up: "Ms. Shen is not favored. When I was sweeping here before, I always saw Miss Shen sitting in the yard drawing her eyebrows and applying powder. I heard that in the middle of the night... she even imitated Concubine Zhaochun's way of walking and danced in a dress embroidered with crabapple patterns."

Huang Quan held up the dress and saw that it did have a crabapple flower pattern.

The Queen touched her belly and said worriedly, "The Imperial Physician cannot tell the cause of Shen Ying's death, Your Majesty... I think for the sake of Concubine Zhaochun's reputation, we should report to the Imperial Observatory."

"Imperial Astronomical Observatory?" Zhu Dingyuan looked at each of them and said, "You all think that this incident was not man-made, but was caused by evil spirits."

Concubine Fang wanted to refute, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

If someone is killed, just find the murderer.

But Shen's death was so strange that everyone was in panic.

People are afraid of everything unknown. When this thing is beyond their cognition, they will think of evil spirits and ghosts.

When I think of this Imperial Concubine Zhaochun, I wonder if she is really an ominous person.

Zhu Dingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Zhaoyue. Her eyes were still clear and pure, with a natural charm. She didn't want him to speak in a difficult way.

"Your Majesty, please ask the Imperial Observatory to come. I only met Shen Da Ying once, and she died suddenly and tragically. I feel sorry for her, and I hate those who persecuted her later even more."

Her hand clung to Zhu Dingyuan's palm, as if she was looking for a backbone: "She was still young, but she died in an unclear way."

Zhu Dingyuan saw her wet eyes and his heart softened: "Send it to the Imperial Observatory."

Queen: "I don't believe that Concubine Zhaochun is... Shen promised to paint so many pictures, just to receive the same grace as my sister."

Zhao Yue raised her eyes and said, "That maid said that Shen Ying imitated my every word and action. Maybe Shen Ying admires me?"

"......?" The queen blushed again. This was really, really shameless.

But she is so beautiful that all men are attracted to her. But why do women only feel jealousy and not love for her?

Zhu Dingyuan laughed softly and hugged her tightly: "If Shen Da Ying just liked Yue Er and found some magic and became obsessed, it makes sense."

He is the emperor, and if he says this logic is fine, then naturally there is no problem with it.

The queen clenched her handkerchief tightly and choked.

The Imperial Observatory dared to come, and his official uniform was covered with snowflakes: "Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to pay his respects."

When he finished examining Shen Da Ying carefully, he sat down on the ground, his old face shaking like tree bark.

Zhu Dingyuan tutted impatiently: "Get up and answer."

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times to Shen Da Ying, and then stood up tremblingly.

"Your Majesty! This is a very bad omen!"
