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

Chapter 51 The more conceited a person is, the less likely he or she will achieve anything

Splendid Palace.

"Where is Concubine Ling?"

The young maid stammered, "Your Majesty is feeling unwell, please rest on the couch."

There was a flash of hostility in Gu Qingluo's eyes. She glanced at the little palace maid who was shivering with her head down, then walked into the bedroom.

After entering, there was indeed a person lying between the bed curtains, and he seemed to be asleep.

Gu Qingluo: "Empress Ling?"

No one responded.

"I'm here to see you!"

Still no answer.

"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look." Eunuch Su volunteered.

Gu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand.

Eunuch Su approached, lifted the bed curtain, and saw a woman lying quietly on her side. Eunuch Su felt something strange and slowly reached out his hand to turn her over. Unexpectedly, what turned over was a female corpse with a black face and blood coming out of all seven orifices.

Eunuch Su jumped and ran towards Gu Qingluo, pointing at the bed curtain with horror on his face: "Your Majesty, someone is dead!"

“Death…what a miserable death!”

Gu Qingluo's eyes suddenly widened and she quickly stepped forward. When she saw that the dead woman was not Concubine Ling, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't her.

After a moment, Gu Qingluo's eyes suddenly became cold and he strode out of the bedroom.

The little palace maid was kneeling on the ground, staring at Gu Qingluo with red eyes.

Gu Qingluo stopped and looked at the little palace maid with contempt in her eyes.

"You are capable enough to fool me so much."

Everyone present was confused. Wasn't this little palace maid the one who reported the case? How did she manage to deceive His Majesty?

Ji Yanchen's cold eyes shot straight at the palace maid, and when he saw the strangeness on her face, he smiled.

Interesting, human skin mask.

Then I thought that every time someone died, there was always a palace maid or eunuch who could discover the body on the spot. They were only concerned with examining the cause of death and ignored the person who reported the case. They must have overlooked some minor characters who were not easy to attract attention.

People who report crimes are most likely to play the thief crying "stop thief" and deceive others.

If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Zhao and Ling'er both had silver bracelets in their stomachs, and that the little palace maid who came to report the case every time wore the same silver bracelet on her wrist, he would have realized that the person who was least likely to be suspected was the most suspicious one.

Gu Qingluo went straight to the point and asked without any hesitation: "Tell me! Where exactly are you holding Concubine Ling?"

After hearing these words, the little palace maid's pupils suddenly contracted, and her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, as if she had not expected Gu Qingluo to ask so directly.

However, after only a moment, the little maid quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath, tried to make her expression look calmer, and tried to answer in a firm and confident tone: "I...I don't know what you are talking about. Your Majesty, did you catch the wrong person? I am just a maid who sweeps the floor. I really don't know where Concubine Ling is!"

"Oh? You don't know? What a joke! I think you know a lot!"

"Tell me quickly, where have you imprisoned Concubine Ling?" Gu Qingluo got angry and stepped forward to grab the maid's neck, gradually tightening her grip.

This time, Gu Qingluo was really angry, and murderous aura was emanating from his body.

The maid was frightened and said weakly, "Your Majesty... I really didn't know. Your Majesty, you misunderstood me..."

Gu Qingluo pushed her away and, in front of everyone, tore off a piece of fake skin on her face, revealing her original face.

Someone in the audience immediately recognized the palace maid and exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this Concubine Qing? Why are you disguised as a palace maid?"

"Could it be that she killed Concubine Zhao and Ling'er? Then isn't Concubine Ling in great danger now?"

"This woman is so vicious, a femme fatale!"

Gu Qingluo ignored the noise and glared at Concubine Qing and asked, "Where on earth did you hide Concubine Ling?"

Seeing that the truth had been exposed, Concubine Qing could no longer pretend. She raised her head and laughed: "I have killed Concubine Ling. Hahahaha!"

"Maybe even the corpse has been eaten clean by rats!"

Gu Qingluo said in a deep voice: "I don't believe you will kill her immediately. After all, you haven't cut her open yet, how can you let her die so easily?"

"I believe that with the methods you used to deal with Concubine Zhao and Ling'er, how could you not use them on Concubine Ling?"

"You are a perfectionist, aren't you?"

The corners of Qingpin's lips curled up into a cruel smile, and her wide eyes flashed with excitement: "She's dead!"

"It won't be long before her body is eaten clean by rats, and you will never find her again!"

"With Concubine Zhao and Ling'er dead, Concubine Ling will definitely die. I will let her die at three o'clock in the morning and will never let her live until five o'clock. Hahahaha."

Gu Qingluo's lips curled up into a cold smile: "I guess the shadow I saw outside Concubine Ling's palace the night before was you, and Concubine Ling has long been hidden by you somewhere."

Qingpin had a grim look on her face and sneered repeatedly: "Haha, so what? She deserves to die. She coveted something she shouldn't have coveted."

"And then there are Lady Zhao and Ling'er, who dream of becoming phoenixes every day. Do they deserve it? These two bitches should go to hell and suffer the pain of being torn apart by rats!"

Gu Qingluo: "Is this the reason why you stuffed rats into their stomachs?"

Qingpin raised her chin high, looked at Gu Qingluo with a provocative look, and said with a scornful smile on her lips, "Yes, so what?" There was a hint of disdain and confidence in her voice.

Then, Qingpin adjusted her posture slightly and continued, "Your Majesty, I always felt that I did things perfectly and flawlessly, without leaving any clues. I am very curious, how did you find out that I did these things?" Her words contained both doubt and pride in her own methods.

Gu Qingluo stared at her with his eyes downcast, his lips showing clear sarcasm: "You are just too conceited, and you always think you are the god who judges other people's life and death?"

"When you took the initiative to come forward and say that you saw Ling'er by the lotus pond, I felt strange. With so many palace maids present, why did you choose to point to Ling'er as the murderer of Concubine Zhao?"

"Also, why was it a skinny little eunuch who discovered Ling'er's body?"

"Eunuchs are eunuchs, but their bodies are those of men, much broader and thicker than those of women."

"It's obvious that the eunuch wore a human skin mask to fool me, and you disguised yourself as another eunuch and said that you saw a rat crawling on Concubine Zhao. Just now you disguised yourself as a palace maid and ran over to tell me that Concubine Ling is missing. You are really good at role-playing~"

Qingpin: "Then how can you be sure that I am the murderer of Concubine Zhao and Ling'er?"

"The silver bracelet on your wrist betrays you."

Gu Qingluo looked at her wrist expressionlessly and said, "The bracelet you put into Lady Zhao and Ling'er's belly is exactly the same as the one on your wrist."

"Fortunately, my memory is not bad. Although the bracelet on your wrist flashed before my eyes, I remembered it at the most critical moment."

"You never expected that a good hand of cards would be ruined by the bracelet on your wrist."

"Your ego made you stuff a silver bracelet into your stomach, indicating that the person you killed was your private property, right?"

There was a look of dead despair in Qingpin's eyes, which was considered as her agreement with what Gu Qingluo said.
