The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

"Ah, someone's dead, someone's dead!" Someone screamed in fear among the panicked crowd.

When the timid women heard this, they ran out of the hall in panic, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became chaotic.

Gu Qingluo slowly stood up and calmly walked to the side of the person who suddenly fell to the ground. Qin Hean saw this and quickly made way for her and reported to her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, he is dead."

Gu Qingluo carefully observed the deceased's face and symptoms, and said in a deep voice: "The lips are black, the face is purple, and there is foam at the mouth. He died of poisoning."

Her sharp eyes swept through the crowd, and finally landed on a palace maid who was evasive and panicked. Gu Qingluo snorted in her heart, pointed at the palace maid, and ordered in a cold tone: "You, come out!"

When the palace maid heard this, her body trembled violently and a look of fear appeared on her face, but she still had to walk out of the crowd tremblingly and come to Gu Qingluo.

She asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, can you...can you find a servant..."

"Did you kill the person?"

Before the maid finished her words, she was frightened by Gu Qingluo's words and suddenly raised her head. Then she realized her own loss of composure and quickly lowered her head, whispering and shaking her head: "This servant... This servant knows nothing..."

"do not know anything!"

When Qin Hean heard Gu Qingluo ask this, he immediately understood the whole story.

It must have been this palace maid who poisoned the official to death!

Qin Hean scolded: "Tell me, why did you poison him to death?"

"If you can't tell me, you can only go to the Dali Temple to be punished!"

The palace maid's body trembled, her face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her lips trembled and tears welled up in her eyes, but she never uttered a word.

Qin Hean saw this and became even more furious. He slammed the table and roared, "Okay, if that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! Someone, take this maid to the Dali Temple and torture her severely to make her tell the truth!"

Several guards came over upon hearing the noise. They roughly grabbed the maid's arm and tried to drag her out the door.

The maid struggled in fear, but her strength was far inferior to that of the guards.

She begged for mercy in fear: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything!"

"I am innocent, please let me go!"

Gu Qingluo gently raised her hand to signal the guard to let her go. She walked over and lifted her chin with her fingertips. She asked in a faint voice, "What's your name? Hmm?"

"Tell me."

The palace maid looked at Gu Qingluo's handsome face that was hard to tell whether he was male or female, and her face still blushed under Gu Qingluo's threat.

She stammered, "Your Majesty, my name is Mingzhu."

Gu Qingluo lightly scratched her face with his fingertips, looked at her fair face, and said coldly: "This name is really charming, but it's a pity that you killed an official in the court."

"This name will follow you to hell!"

The slender fingers suddenly pinched Mingzhu's neck and gradually tightened. Mingzhu, who was blushing and heartbeating just now, was now scared to the point of throat.

Her face gradually turned blue, she had difficulty breathing, and she couldn't even open her mouth to beg for mercy.

"Tell me who ordered you to poison, and I will spare you!"

"If you want to live, nod your head!"

Faced with a desperate situation, Mingzhu's desire to survive was overwhelming, and she nodded with difficulty.

After Gu Qingluo let her go, Mingzhu breathed in air desperately. Just now she really thought she was going to see the King of Hell!

Ji Yanchen, who was standing next to him, handed Gu Qingluo a handkerchief and whispered, "Wipe your hands, they're dirty!"

Gu Qingluo took the handkerchief, wiped it casually, returned to the high seat and sat down, looked at the crowd below with cold eyes and said: "Now, someone died at the banquet, and everyone present is not free from responsibility!"

"Including me!"

"This...this..." The crowd immediately started whispering to each other, as if everyone was surprised that Gu Qingluo would say this.

How could an emperor be willing to be called a murderer? Is she crazy?

Gu Qingluo ignored everyone and continued to interrogate Mingzhu.

In the hall, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

Mingzhu knelt on the ground, her face pale, but she bit her lips tightly and refused to reveal the name of the person who ordered her to do so.

Gu Qingluo's eyes became increasingly cold. He had used every possible means, including threats and inducements, but Mingzhu was like a stubborn rock, refusing to reveal the person behind the scenes.

Gu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she seemed to have thought of something, and a plan came to her mind. She smiled indifferently and said in a nonchalant tone: "Did he threaten you with your family?" The voice was light, but it seemed to have a thousand-pound force, hitting Mingzhu's heart directly.

Mingzhu bit her lip and said nothing, but her panic at that moment betrayed her.

Gu Qingluo understood and continued, "If you give that man away, he will kill your family, right?" Mingzhu's body trembled slightly, but she remained silent.

Gu Qingluo looked at Mingzhu with a trace of pity in her eyes: "Have you ever thought that even if you don't confess who that person is, you and your family will not be able to survive? How can a ruthless person have a kind heart? Isn't this a joke? Only a silly girl like you would believe his lies."

Mingzhu's eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She knew that what Gu Qingluo said was true, but how could she easily betray the person who threatened her? Her family was still in that person's hands, and she couldn't ignore their safety.

Gu Qingluo sighed and continued, "Whether you tell it or not, you and your family will die in the end. If you give that person away now, I might be able to save your family's life. Think about it carefully."

Mingzhu fell into deep pain and she didn't know what to do.

On one side was the lives of his family, and on the other was the fear of that man. As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.

Just then, a guard hurried over and whispered something in Gu Qingluo's ear.

Gu Qingluo's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Mingzhu, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Mingzhu, you don't have much time left. I just got the news that your family has been killed by that person. The only thing you can do now is to avenge your family and expose the mastermind behind the incident."

When Mingzhu heard the news, she was shocked. She opened her eyes wide and tears immediately burst out. She never thought that her persistence would eventually lead to the death of her family.

Her heart was filled with regret and anger. She hated her own stupidity and that cruel man.

Finally, Mingzhu slowly raised her head, looked at Gu Qingluo, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I say..."

"Whoosh"

A sharp arrow shot in from outside the hall and hit her chest directly.

Mingzhu’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and she fell to the ground with her eyes open.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked!
