I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Cui Shuyan's face turned red instantly.

Xie Xingyuan came closer and said, "So, you can embroider whatever my lady likes on it."

Cui Shuyan hit Xie Xingyuan's chest coquettishly. Just as she was about to speak, Xie Xingyuan kissed her lips.

The blending of breaths is naturally tender and sweet.

At this time, there was a completely different scene in the Queen's palace.

The Queen transferred personnel from the Ministry of Punishment to take control of everyone in the palace without leaving a single person behind.

Yun Ya, the personal maid, was a little confused: "Empress, why is this happening?"

The Queen remembered Cui Shuyan's words and smiled faintly: "Nothing. Yun Ya, go and do your thing."

Yun Ya frowned: "My Lady, you don't trust me?"

Originally, the Queen didn't think anything of it, but when she heard Yun Ya ask this, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times, but her tone didn't change much from before: "What nonsense are you talking about? You grew up with me since childhood, and you accompanied me into the palace, so of course I trust you."

Yun Ya opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and turned and walked out.

Looking at her back, the queen's eyes darkened.

I have to say that the strategy provided by Cui Shuyan is very good.

It turned out that she had been searching for so long but found nothing.

Cui Shuyan's strategy, however, took a different approach and broke the deadlock.

Naturally, the queen also understood that the reason why Cui Shuyan did not follow the original line of thought was entirely out of consideration for her face.

Otherwise, if Cui Shuyan found out something that even she, the queen, could not find out, it would, to a certain extent, be a loss of face for her as the queen.

Cui Shuyan's current strategy is to pretend to have found out everything before the truth is revealed, in an attempt to throw the person behind the scenes into disarray.

So now she lets the people from the Ministry of Punishment take control of all the people in her palace. This way, people will get the illusion that the truth has been uncovered.

After the people behind the scenes get this news, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to feel at ease.

After all, this person was dealing with the queen.

If the truth comes to light, the person behind the scenes will find it difficult to bear the consequences.

Therefore, it is difficult for the people behind the scenes to sit still when they know something has happened.

Once the person behind the scenes starts to take action, it will be the Queen's chance to get to the bottom of the case.

Therefore, controlling the people in the palace is only the first step.

The second step is to sit back and wait for the person behind the scenes to get restless and then take action.

Soon, night falls.

However, the Queen's Palace was brightly lit.

The lights stayed on until midnight, then went out one by one, except for one or two rooms where dim lights were still on.

The lights in the Queen's main hall were already turned off.

However, the queen stood at the window and had no desire to sleep.

At this time, none of the palace maids who had followed her were there, only Princess Heshuo Chang's personal maid Lan Xin was with her.

For some reason, the queen felt a little uneasy.

After that, there was a long silence.

Just when the queen thought that the other party would not be fooled, there was a sudden loud noise outside.

The noise lasted for about half a quarter of an hour, and then the voice of Yan Chu, the director of the Ministry of Punishment, was heard outside the door.

Yan Chu was a cold and harsh person, and was known as the "King of Hell" in the palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs always took a detour when they saw him.

At this moment, his voice was as calm as usual, without any emotion: "Madam, the intruder has been caught, it's from the laundry shop."

"Has he been interrogated?"

"Your Majesty, the investigation is ongoing. I came here to report to you that when the assassins attacked, two people in your palace behaved abnormally."

"who is it?"

"One is Mingxiu, who boils water in the tea room, and the other is Aunt Yunya."

Hearing Yun Ya's name, the Queen's body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly held the table beside her: "Yun Ya, what's wrong with you? Tell me in detail."

"She acted very uneasy, and kept trying to get information from me. Also, she was very nervous when the assassin attacked. I have ordered someone to capture her and she is awaiting punishment."

"Bring Yun Ya here."

After that, the queen ordered: "Lan Xin, light the lamp."

Lan Xin responded and immediately turned on the light.

The queen stood up, sat on the main seat, and watched Yun Ya being brought in by people from the Ministry of Punishment.

The moment she saw the queen, Yun Ya immediately cried out in grievance: "My queen, I don't know how I offended Yan Chu, and he actually had me arrested!"

The queen reached out to take the hot tea handed to her by Lan Xin and blew away the foam on it, looking as if she had everything planned out.

After taking a sip of tea, the queen raised her head and looked at Yun Ya, who was kneeling on the ground with a wronged look on her face. She said slowly, "You are wrong. You didn't offend Yan Chu, but me."

"My lady, I wonder what I have done wrong to offend you?"

"Yun Ya, at this point, do you still have to wait for me to explain myself clearly?"

"My Lady." Yun Ya sniffed, feeling aggrieved. "I have been following you since I was a child, and until today, you have never spoken to me in such a harsh tone."

"That's right. You grew up with me since childhood, and I have always treated you as my own sister. It is precisely because of this that I can't understand why even you dare to betray me?"

"My lady, you must be mistaken. I have never done anything like that."

"You didn't do it?" The Queen sneered. "Can you cancel everything out by saying you didn't do it? No wonder I couldn't find anything. It's because something went wrong with the person closest to me. Yun Ya, Yun Ya, tell me, what did I do to you that made you want to rebel and even help others deal with me?"

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, I am innocent." As she said this, Yun Ya knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the queen repeatedly.

But in just a moment, her forehead was bleeding.

However, from beginning to end, the queen did not show any softness on her face and only looked at Yun Ya coldly.

Before tonight, she really treated Yun Ya as her own sister.

Once before, Yun Ya accidentally broke the heirloom phoenix crown that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Logically speaking, this crime alone would be enough to cause Yun Ya to die without a burial place.

However, she thought about how Yun Ya had grown up with her and had been with her in the deep palace, so even if she had to face the emperor's wrath, she still chose to suppress the matter and save Yun Ya.

But this time...

Yun Ya was still kowtowing.

The Queen's hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tighter and tighter.

Just when she couldn't bear to see Yun Ya like this and wanted to order someone to pull Yun Ya up, she saw Yun Ya straightened up by herself.

At this time, her forehead had already been broken, her face was covered in blood, and her expression looked somewhat hideous.

Yun Ya looked straight at the queen and laughed softly, "Queen, have you really never treated me harshly?"
