Xie Yu looked at the forced smile on Lin Junxue's face, paused, and said in a deep voice, "If Jun'er didn't blame me, why didn't you act so distant like before?"

Lin Junxue was silent for a few seconds, lightly fluttered her eyelashes, and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Then, she slowly raised her eyes, with red at the corners of her eyes, and stared at Xie Yu with her black and white eyes.

"Your Majesty, I don't blame you. I'm just disappointed. When Shen Huachun used the fake pregnancy to frame me, you didn't stand by me at first, but kept questioning me whether I had done that vicious thing? Do you know that I was sad at that time, not because I was framed, but because Your Majesty didn't want to believe me. Can you really understand my helplessness, fear, and panic?"

Lin Junxue knew that Xie Yu would definitely doubt whether her performance today was well prepared.

If in Xie Yu's mind, I have become that scheming woman, it is not a good thing at the moment.

Therefore, my arrangement today was to dispel Xie Yu’s suspicion.

Sure enough, Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue who was trying hard not to let her tears fall, pretending to be strong, but in fact her hands were shaking slightly, and his heart softened, and his attitude softened a little.

"Jun'er, I was anxious when I heard about this today. I really shouldn't have distrusted you. I was wrong about this matter. Can you please stop being angry?"

When Gao Cheng heard Xie Yu say that he was wrong, he was extremely shocked.

He had been with the emperor for many years and had seen the emperor coaxing the concubines in the harem when he was happy, but today his attitude towards the queen was really too nice.

Lin Junxue decided to quit while she was ahead. Since Xie Yu had already taken the initiative, she could no longer hold him back.

She then reached out her hand and punched Xie Yu's chest lightly.

In fact, for Xie Yu, this hammer did not hurt at all. It was just like a tickle, and it made his chest feel numb.

Lin Junxue burst into laughter and acted like a spoiled child to Xie Yu as usual.

"Your Majesty, if something like this happens again next time, and you don't trust me anymore, I swear, I will never talk to you again."

Xie Yu watched the alienation on Lin Junxue disappear, and felt very satisfied that she was no longer obsessed with this matter.

It can be said that Lin Junxue has a very good sense of propriety. If she continues to do so, Xie Yu will surely feel a sudden surge of guilt and think that she is ungrateful.

Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue, whose eyes were still red, like a little rabbit, yet so cute and lovely. His heart moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will remember what Jun'er said."

Seeing Xie Yu solemnly making a promise, Lin Junxue lowered her head slightly, with indifference in her eyes. When she looked up again, she was smiling.

"Okay, it's all your fault, Your Majesty. I'm still hungry."

Xie Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed, "You are so arrogant and unreasonable, how can you blame me for this?"

Lin Junxue curled her lips, snorted, and said slowly, "If you don't blame the emperor, can you blame yourself?"

Xie Yu was speechless at Lin Junxue's twisted logic and looked at Lin Junxue with a doting face.

After the two finished their dinner, they dismissed the servants. Xie Yu sat on the couch, and Lin Junxue sat beside him.

She was peeling lychees. After peeling them carefully, she personally brought them to Xie Yu's mouth. She was extremely thoughtful.

Xie Yu read a book while enjoying Lin Junxue's service. His life was peaceful and quiet.

suddenly

Xie Yu put down the book in his hand

"Jun'er, I want to ask you something, I hope you can tell me the truth."

Lin Junxue paused, put down the lychee, and thought to herself, what is coming will eventually come.

Xie Yu had to test her today. If he didn't, there would be something fishy going on. This was in line with the suspicious character of Xie Yu, the emperor.

Lin Junxue pretended not to know and looked at Xie Yu, "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask?"

Xie Yu hesitated for a few seconds

"Has Jun'er known about Shen Huachun's fake pregnancy for a long time? She was just waiting for her to explode?"

Next second

Lin Junxue didn't even think about it. She looked straight at Xie Yu and shook her head.

There was no hesitation in the voice

"No, I didn't know that Shen Huachun was faking her pregnancy, but I was a little suspicious. Shen Huachun and I were not close in the past, but after she became pregnant, she came to my Zhonghe Palace every day. This in itself is something worthy of suspicion."

Seeing that Lin Junxue did not feel guilty at all, Xie Yu was certain that she did not plan this matter in advance, which meant that she was not a person with unfathomable scheming.

If Lin Junxue really knew about it in advance but kept doing nothing, then she was too scheming. He didn't like it, and he had to be on guard against such a woman.

Xie Yu said, "Why do you say that? Logically speaking, she fainted at the gate of Zhonghe Palace, and you saved her. She is close to you. What is there to doubt?"

Lin Junxue raised her eyebrows and rested her chin on her

"Your Majesty, Shen Huachun's pregnancy is not even three months old yet, but she comes to my Zhonghe Palace every day without paying any attention to anything. She eats whatever she wants, which is unreasonable. If a concubine in the harem is really pregnant, she would try to keep it a secret for the first three months, or be very careful. How could she be so ostentatious? Therefore, I naturally became suspicious."

Xie Yu paused. He felt that what Lin Junxue said made sense.

The concubines in the harem are indeed extra careful when they are pregnant, and no one is as ostentatious as Shen Huachun. No wonder Lin Junxue would be suspicious.

Shen Huachun was faking her pregnancy, so she didn't care. She came to Zhonghe Palace every day, thinking of using the fake pregnancy to frame Lin Junxue, but she overlooked something that a pregnant person should pay attention to, which was a loophole.

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yusong's frightened expression and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, although I am not a smart person, I am not so stupid. However, I did not know that Shen Huachun was faking her pregnancy. Today, she pretended to be poisoned in Zhonghe Palace and suddenly had an attack. I was also panicked just now, but I told myself that I must calm down and find a way to prove my innocence. When I saw that it was Doctor Liu who came, I remembered that it was also Doctor Liu who diagnosed Shen Huachun on the day. I felt that everything seemed too coincidental, so I asked Danzhen to go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and invite other doctors to come, just in case, and also invited Zhao Yuanpan, but..."

At this point, Lin Junxue paused, then said with some emotion

"But I never expected that I would find two imperial doctors to prove my innocence, but I didn't expect to find out that Shen Huachun had taken some kind of Western secret medicine, the Soul-Eating Grass, and wanted to use a fake pregnancy to frame me."

Lin Junxue's sincere words dispelled Xie Yu's last doubts.

Xie Yu stretched out his hand, Lin Junxue took the initiative to pass it over, and Xie Yu held it tightly.

"This time, it was Jun'er who was careful, otherwise Shen Huachun, that vicious woman, would have succeeded."

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu and no longer doubted him, and smiled shyly.

"Your Majesty, I have been in the harem for so many years. If I have not made any progress, how can I be in charge of such a huge harem and manage all the concubines so that Your Majesty can have no worries?"

Xie Yu found Lin Junxue's words very appropriate and useful.
