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

Chen Xier spoke up for Lin Junxue, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

Lin Junxue glanced calmly at Chen Xier who was begging for mercy.

Chen Xier's words were apparently a plea for mercy, but in reality she was just telling Xie Yu.

As the queen, she had been very close to Shen Huachun during the time when Shen Huachun was pregnant. This only made the suspicious Xie Yu more suspicious that she had ulterior motives and had been secretly planning to poison the baby in Shen Huachun's belly with hibiscus cake in Zhonghe Palace today.

Secondly, in the minds of the people in the harem, she had a close relationship with Shen Guiji recently. If Shen Huachun got into trouble in Zhonghe Palace, she could use this as an excuse to clear herself of suspicion.

This Chen Xier is indeed a favorite concubine, she has good methods.

As expected, when Xie Yu heard Chen Xier's words, his expression, which had been better, became completely gloomy again.

Some other concubines had not yet understood the hidden meaning of Chen Xier's words and just thought that Chen Xier was speaking for Lin Junxue.

Only Chen Mi stood aside, his eyes deep. It was obvious that Chen Xier had no good intention in saying this.

Lin Junxue lowered her eyes and glanced at Chen Xier indifferently.

Chen Xier smiled and continued to say to Xie Yu, "I believe that the Queen would never do such a thing, but the servants of the Zhonghe Palace may have the intention to harm people. Besides, the poisonous hibiscus cake was eaten by Concubine Shen, and there is no physical evidence to prove that the hibiscus cake is not poisonous. For the sake of the Queen's innocence, why not send Qiaoxin, who was watching in the kitchen from beginning to end, to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and interrogate her to prove the Queen's innocence."

After Chen Xier finished speaking, she looked at Lin Junxue with an expression that said, "I'm thinking of you," but she was very proud in her heart.

Today is a dead end

No matter how calm Lin Junxue pretended to be, she couldn't escape this situation today.

When the concubines present heard the three words "Shang Xing Si", their faces changed slightly.

That place is where the palace maids and eunuchs who committed serious crimes were imprisoned.

If this person goes in, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die, and even the hardest mouth will probably be pried open.

Everyone immediately looked at Lin Junxue and Qiao Xin behind her.

Qiao Xin had just come to the Queen's side. I guess the Queen would not protect Qiao Xin in order to prove her innocence.

Lin Junxue faced the gazes of everyone, as well as Xie Yu's considering look, but her expression was calm and she remained unhurried.

Seeing this, Qiao Xin didn't want to embarrass Lin Junxue, so she wanted to step forward and take the initiative to ask to go to the Shangxingsi. This might help dispel the emperor's suspicion of the queen.

Just as Qiao Xin was about to move, Lin Junxue took a step sideways and protected Qiao Xin behind her.

She slowly said, "I don't agree with what Imperial Concubine Xi said. Now that the imperial physician hasn't come out yet and Concubine Shen hasn't woken up yet, you insist that her poisoning is related to me and Qiao Xin. This conclusion is a bit premature. Even if you want to convict me, you have to wait until the imperial physician comes out and Concubine Shen wakes up before you can make a clear argument. Besides, Qiao Xin is my aunt. If she harms Concubine Shen, I will not be able to escape the consequences."

Qiao Xin was moved as she looked at Lin Junxue standing in front of her, her eyes slightly red. She thought that the Queen shouldn't have protected her at this time.

This time, it was clear that Shen Guiji's incident was planned by someone. Since it concerns the dragon seed, how is the Queen going to get through this hurdle?

Everyone looked a little shocked.

It is really unwise of the Queen to still protect a close aunt at this time.

Just as Chen Xier was about to speak, Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your Majesty, I am the queen of a country and the head of the harem. I cannot be convicted by just anyone with a few words. What do you think?"

This was the first time Xie Yu saw Lin Junxue's expression like this. He was silent for a few seconds.

What Lin Junxue said was right. After all, she was the queen of a country. Moreover, he had developed feelings for Lin Junxue in recent times, so he naturally couldn't treat her casually as before.

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "What the Queen said is that Concubine Shen was poisoned. We should wait until Concubine Shen wakes up before we talk about it."

As soon as Xie Yu opened his mouth, Chen Xier's face changed slightly, but it was gone in an instant, and then she smiled slightly.

She echoed, "Your Majesty is right."

Then, Chen Xier looked at Lin Junxue provocatively again.

Lin Junxue half-closed her eyes, walked to the chair and sat down, her expression still without a trace of fear or panic.

Except for the two concubines Chen Mi and Sun Manrou, Concubine Yue had a seat to sit, while the other concubines stood quietly aside, waiting for Shen Huachun inside to wake up.

half an hour later

Doctor Liu came out in a panic and knelt in front of Xie Yu and Lin Junxue.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine Shen can no longer keep her baby. She is less than three months pregnant and has been poisoned. The baby is already dead in her womb. I will help Concubine Shen to abort the pregnancy, otherwise her life will be in danger."

As soon as this word comes out

Everyone had different expressions, but most of them were happy in their hearts. As expected, Shen Huachun lost the baby.

Chen Xier sneered

Xie Yu stood up from his chair and looked at Doctor Liu who was kneeling on the ground wiping his sweat. His brows were furrowed and his face was as ugly as ink.

Then, Xie Yu turned to look at Lin Junxue who was sitting next to him, and said angrily, "Now, Queen, what else do you have to say? Did you hear what the imperial physician said? Not only is Shen Guiji's fetus in danger, but even her life is in danger. Are you still going to argue that Shen Guiji is stupid enough to use her own life to frame you, the Queen?"

Everyone looked at the angry Xie Yu and were so scared that they even breathed slower.

Today, it seems that the queen cannot escape the disaster, and the dragon fetus is the biggest event in the harem.

Lin Junxue slowly stood up and looked at Xie Yu. The two looked at each other, and Lin Junxue's eyes were still open.

She said, "Your Majesty, I have never done anything I have never done."

Xie Yu didn't expect Lin Junxue's attitude to be so firm. Even at this time, she still looked as if she had done nothing.

Then, Lin Junxue turned around and looked at Doctor Liu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Doctor Liu, please go in and clean Concubine Shen's fetus first. If she wakes up, come out and let her know. The Emperor and I are waiting."

Doctor Liu kowtowed quickly, then stood up and went back in.

Seeing that Lin Junxue was still able to arrange the imperial physician in an orderly manner, everyone admired her.

They were all scared to death when the emperor was so angry just now.

Sun Manrou couldn't stand Lin Junxue's calmness, so she stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Did the Queen poison us? We will know when we wake up. It's a pity that the dragon seed in Shen Guiji's belly will be wasted."

At this time, Sun Manrou's words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. They were so obvious that everyone could hear them.

Xie Yu's face turned even darker.

Lin Junxue didn't even look at Sun Manrou

"Your Majesty, today, after Concubine Shen wakes up, I will confront her face to face, and everything will be settled."

Xie Yu raised his dark eyes and stared at Lin Junxue, trying to see a hint of fear in her eyes, but unfortunately there was nothing.

At this moment, he was wondering if Lin Junxue was really framed?
