Lin Junxue had lunch with the Queen Mother

Perhaps to prove that she really had no appetite, the Queen Mother only took two bites of the food with her chopsticks before putting it down.

Zheng Jin was standing aside, looking uneasy.

She thought she had hidden it well, but in fact, her hands on both sides had already betrayed her.

The Queen Mother looked at Zheng Jin with dissatisfaction, with a warning in her eyes.

Zheng Jin's hands trembled.

Nanny Wu immediately stepped forward and took the bowl from Zheng Jin's hand.

"Jin Ronghua, come here, old slave."

Zheng Jin smiled awkwardly and stepped aside

The Queen Mother and Queen Lin Junxue were having their meal, and she, a small girl, could only stand aside and serve them.

Lin Junxue turned to look at Zheng Jin and whispered, "What's wrong? Is Jin Ronghua feeling unwell today? If you are feeling unwell, please call the imperial physician to take a look."

Zheng Jin's face was a little stiff

"Thank you very much for your concern, Queen. I am fine. I just had a headache when I woke up this morning. It will be fine soon."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly and said meaningfully, "So that's how it is."

After a while

Qiao Xin came in from outside with a food box

"My lady, the kitchen just made some lotus and chestnut cakes."

Lin Junxue personally opened the food box, took it out and arranged it.

"Mother, please try it. Is it to your liking?"

When the Queen Mother saw the pastries, she glanced at Nanny Wu beside her.

Nanny Wu nodded.

The Queen Mother then smiled and said, "Good, this cake smells sweet, I really have suddenly developed an appetite."

Zheng Jin comes forward

"I want to eat this cake too. Her Majesty, would you be willing to give me a piece so that I can taste the cooking skills of the Queen Mother's small kitchen?"

The Queen Mother smiled with a loving look.

"Jin Ronghua is a greedy person who you wouldn't expect on weekdays. Well, there are so many cakes and I can't finish them all. Aunt Wu, can you give Jin Ronghua a piece to try?"

Lin Junxue smiled without saying anything, just watched the scene with a curled lip.

Nanny Wu came forward and picked up a piece of chestnut cake for Zheng Jin. Then Zheng Jin took a small bite and put it down.

Such an attitude, how can it be said that he wants to eat? Lin Junxue found it funny to see him

The Queen Mother did not pick up her chopsticks, but asked Zheng Jin, "How does the food taste?"

Zheng Jin replied that it was delicious

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Jin suddenly covered his chest with his hands, looking uncomfortable, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"This, Queen Mother, this cake..."

The Queen Mother stood up

"What's wrong? Jin Ronghua, are you feeling unwell?"

Before Zheng Jin could even open his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, Nanny Wu stepped forward and said sternly, "Come here, come here quickly, Jin Ronghua is poisoned!"

The Queen Mother glared at Lin Junxue, stretched out her hand and pointed at her.

"You, Queen, you have such a cruel heart that you actually wanted to murder me. You poisoned the cake. If Jin Ronghua hadn't eaten it first, I would be the one poisoned now. Come, bring the Queen to me."

Lin Junxue is sitting there

She looked at the furious Queen Mother and Zheng Jin who had fallen to the ground, vomiting blood and fainted.

At this moment, the scene was in chaos, but Lin Junxue was not in a hurry.

The Queen Mother's method of false accusation, though straightforward, was a bit low-level.

But if it came true, then she, as the queen, would have no way to defend herself.

After all, this cake was made in her Zhonghe Palace's small kitchen, and it was delivered by her personal maid, Qiao Xin.

The Queen Mother saw Lin Junxue raise her eyes without any panic, and she became suspicious.

In this situation, is the queen a little too calm?

Her temperament was indeed very different from before, and she didn't even show the slightest bit of panic.

Such a calm attitude made the Queen Mother stunned for a moment.

Nanny Wu immediately said, "Queen, you are trying to murder the Queen Mother. You are so cruel. Queen, what else do you have to say? This cake was made in your palace. Now Jin Ronghua is poisoned. You..."

Lin Junxue stood up slowly, looked at the Queen Mother and Nanny Wu, and spoke calmly.

"Mother, if I really wanted to harm you, would I be stupid enough to resort to such means? I am stupid, but I would not be so stupid."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Who knows, maybe you don't like me, so you think of this way to harm me? On weekdays, the Emperor said you are filial, but I think you are harboring evil intentions. Now, the Emperor has only been away from the palace for a few days, and you can't bear it anymore and want to harm me. What else do you have to quibble, Queen?"

Lin Junxue looked at the Queen Mother who was eager to convict her, and she was not afraid, but only found it funny.

"Mother, it was Jin Ronghua who was poisoned. Even if you really want to convict me, do you still need to summon the imperial physician to diagnose Jin Ronghua's pulse?"

Just now, after Zheng Jin was poisoned, the Queen Mother and Nanny Wu only wanted to convict Lin Junxue of the crime.

The two of them had no intention of caring about Zheng Jin's life or death.

Lin Junxue looked at the unconscious Zheng Jin

Zheng Jin was willing to risk his own life to help the Queen Mother and the other to frame her, which seemed to indicate that he had promised her enough benefits.

Now, the Queen Mother probably wishes Zheng Jin would just die like this.

Then, it was only natural that she, the queen, would be charged with murdering the queen mother and poisoning the concubines.

The Queen Mother was really calculating and had made it impossible for her to recover.

The Queen Mother got what she wanted without losing a single cent.

But Zheng Jin, this fool, became a knife in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Little did she know that the moment she was poisoned, she had completely become the Queen Mother's abandoned child.

As soon as this word comes out

The faces of the Empress Dowager and Nanny Wu were slightly stiff.

The Queen Mother said, "Oh, I was too anxious just now. Go, Wang Chu, call the imperial physician to quickly check what poison Jin Ronghua has contracted."

After Wang Chu went to summon the imperial physician

The Queen Mother gave Lin Junxue a vicious look.

Obviously, after the Queen Mother set up this trap, she had no intention of pretending with Lin Junxue anymore.

Nanny Wu pretended to look at Lin Junxue with a look of deep sorrow.

"Empress, even if you have any dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother, you can't use such vicious methods. After all, the Queen Mother watched you grow up. How could you do this?"

Aunt Wu's attitude is very good.

Lin Junxue just sat there, taking a sip of tea slowly.

A mocking smile on the corner of his lips

look up

"I don't understand what Madam Wu said. For so many years, my mother has been good to me, but I am also sincere to her. In the past, I always put her first in everything. Have I ever been disobedient?"

Lin Junxue continued, "Six years ago, my mother caught a cold, and I stayed up for half a month to watch over her. After she recovered, I fell ill for two months before recovering. Over the years, I have been here every morning and evening to visit her and serve her. I have never been negligent. I didn't know that in your mouth, Aunt Wu, I was so vicious and stupid that I would use such a method to harm my mother."

The Empress Dowager and Nanny Wu froze in silence, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.

After all, everyone has witnessed how respectful Lin Junxue has been to the Queen Mother over the years, and there is really nothing wrong with her.
