Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

When Yuepin saw Danzhen, she couldn't help but think of what happened to her in her palace half a year ago, and Cui'er who was beaten half to death.

Now, the situation has changed. Even Danzhen, a personal maid to the queen, cannot be reprimanded at will by her as a concubine.

Dan Zhen said, "Empress Yue, the Empress asked me to tell you that the Emperor had a sudden high fever that day, which was a bit strange. The Emperor's health cannot afford any mishaps. In the next few days, the Empress will send someone to invite you over. The Empress said that there are some things that should be clarified."

Yuepin's face suddenly became ugly. Did the Queen really not intend to let her off easily? She wanted to take advantage of the Emperor's sudden high fever to cause trouble for her.

The Queen is going to settle the score later.

Dong'er called out softly, "My Lady."

Yuepin came back to her senses, concealed the unnaturalness in her eyes, and pretended to be high-handed and said "I know"

Danzhen bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

Yuepin looked at Danzhen's back and felt a chill in her heart. She turned to look at Dong'er, as if thinking about something.

"Did you see that? You have only been in the palace for a short time, so you don't know Danzhen. She was not this kind of person before. In the past six months, the queen has changed her personality and become smarter, making people feel that she is hard to figure out. Even the maidservants around the queen are different from before and have become calmer. And there is Qiaoxin, the queen just picked her at random, and she picked up such a capable helper, who does things without any fault. With such a person around the queen, I sometimes wonder if the queen is born with a good fate. Even though she has fallen out of favor, she can still win back the emperor's heart and get favors that even Concubine Xi could not match in the past, while I can only rely on that inferior..."

Dong'er looked at the Yuepin who was talking without thinking, and quickly glanced around, and whispered, "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

Dong'er interrupted Yuepin's words, and Yuepin then realized that she had said the wrong thing.

If someone had heard what she said just now, it would have been over. Shocked, she quickly took Dong'er and left.

After the two left, Danzhen walked out of a tent not far away.

Just now, she heard Yuepin's words clearly, and she saw even more clearly that Yuepin was hesitant to speak.

Then, Danzhen turned around and left.

Lin Junxue is practicing calligraphy. After more than half a year of practice, her handwriting is finally almost as good as the original owner's. Her hard work over the past six months has not been in vain.

Qiao Xin was grinding ink on the side and looking at the calligraphy on the table in admiration.

"The Empress's handwriting has improved a lot compared to some time ago, and the momentum of her brushstrokes is even stronger."

Lin Junxue put down the brush, looked at Qiao Xin, and said calmly, "Well, let's burn it later."

Qiao Xin nodded, obviously doing this kind of thing often.

Qiao Xin was about to pack up the calligraphy and burn it when Dan Zhen came in.

"Your Majesty, I'm back. Just now, after I informed Concubine Yue as you instructed, I heard the strange conversation between Concubine Yue and her personal maid."

Lin Junxue asked expressionlessly, "What did Concubine Yue say?"

Danzhen stepped forward

"Your Highness, I followed your instructions and waited for a while at a distant corner. Concubine Yue and Dong'er beside her had no idea that I hadn't left. I heard from Concubine Yue and Dong'er that Your Highness had won the emperor's favor and had a capable person like Aunt Qiaoxin by her side, and I was very jealous. There was nothing wrong with the first part, but the last sentence. Concubine Yue said..."

When Danzhen finished retelling the conversation between Yuepin and Dong'er,

Lin Junxue raised her eyes, her gaze slightly deep

Today, she called Wu Renlang to question him.

Wu Renlang said that Xie Yu suddenly developed a high fever that night because he indulged himself too much and damaged his body. The reason for his excessive indulgence was most likely the brief use of some undetectable aphrodisiac drugs to aid in his sexual pleasure.

Although Wu Renkang was not willing to be 100% sure, he was 90% confident.

That was why Lin Junxue specifically asked Danzhen to stop Yuepin and say these words today.

Sure enough, that night, there was something fishy going on with Concubine Yue. If not, with someone like her personality, she would never have said the last sentence.

Now the remaining 10% is best proved by what Yuepin said.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Wu Taiyi's diagnosis and your guess are correct. The emperor suddenly had a high fever, and Yuepin could not escape the blame. If we can find evidence that Yuepin used aphrodisiacs, then Yuepin's fate can be imagined. Although fighting for favor is common, but damaging the emperor's body is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Yuepin has been by the emperor's side for so many years, how dare she do such a thing?"

Lin Junxue took the tea from Danzhen, took a sip, put it down, and said calmly.

"Yuepin was just trying to take a gamble. In the past, Chen Xier was the most favored queen in the harem for many years. She knew she couldn't compete with me, so she naturally didn't dare. But since I was released from house arrest, she has won the emperor's favor. She and I have both been in the palace since we were young. I, the queen who has always been unfavored, can make a comeback. Of course, she is not convinced and wants to compete again. It's human nature."

Dan Zhen said, "But Madam, isn't Yuepin afraid of being discovered by the Emperor with such radical means? If she is discovered, she will be dead and it will also bring disaster to the family. The risk is too great. Yuepin's actions are frightening."

Qiao Xin sighed

"I also think that it is really bold for Concubine Yue to use this method to win favor."

Lin Junxue curled her lips

"Yuepin is not a timid person. She has great ambitions. Now, she will not accept the position of a mere concubine. Among the four concubines, besides Mifei and Chenfei, there are two more concubines. Next year, once the concubines enter the palace, the harem structure will be broken again. She just wants to take advantage of this time to climb up. Apart from this method, Yuepin thinks that there is no other way. She has run out of tricks and can only take risks."

Qiao Xin frowned

"But your majesty, Concubine Yue is not stupid, she is very smart. Didn't Imperial Doctor Wu say that? The aphrodisiac was used very rarely, and a few days have passed, so there is no way to investigate. So there is no evidence for this matter. Your majesty may not be able to do anything to Concubine Yue for the time being."

Danzhen said, "Your Majesty, Aunt Qiaoxin is right. We have no evidence. Concubine Yue has been with the Emperor since the time when he was in the palace. She has not made any major mistakes since entering the palace. If you rashly say that Concubine Yue used aphrodisiacs without any evidence, I'm afraid the Emperor will not believe it. Instead, Concubine Yue will blame you, which will be a loss. I think we should just forget it this time."

Lin Junxue looked at the clear and logical analysis and smiled at Danzhen.

Danzhen was stunned and couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

"My lady, is there something on my face? Is there anything dirty? Why are you looking at me like that? Or did I say something wrong?"

Qiao Xin looked at the silly Dan Zhen and smiled. Lin Junxue reached out and pinched Dan Zhen's face.

She said very gently, "Our little Danzhen is getting smarter and smarter. What you said makes sense, but since Yuepin has tried to harm me several times, it's time to settle accounts with Yuepin. I can't stand it. You know, if you stand it too much, you'll turn into a Ninja Turtle."
