Chapter 362 Cite Out the Harm
At this time, Melochen ran in and saw Ji Liunian and Cheng Qian.
"How can there be tea on your face..." Meloqin quickly took out her handkerchief and handed it to Cheng Qian. Cheng Qian took it over and wiped his face clean. He also smelled a fragrance. That's the body fragrance of Merlot.
"Look at them and care more about you..." Ji Liunian laughed secretly.
"Sister Ji, let's go and let the emperor think about it quietly." Merochen took Ji Liunian's hand and left.
"Melo...Qin, I have something to say to you..." Cheng Qian said shyly, and his face turned red.
Melochen's face also turned red.
"Let's talk about it later. The most urgent thing now is to smooth out the things in the harem." Melochen left with Ji Liunian. Ji Liunian didn't say anything.
"Why don't you talk to him?" Ji Liunian looked at Melochen, and the blush on Melochen's face had not dissipated.
"At this time, his mood is unstable, and what he said is not very reliable, so I won't believe it. People will be more vulnerable when they are in trouble.
In fact, Ji Liunian has guessed Melochen's mind. Melochen, like herself, is a person who is too demanding perfection.
Ji Liunian and Meloqin returned to Yunshen Palace. They were tired and slept a lot after bathing. The next day, the maid brought food, and they got up.
"Go down." Ji Liunian left the maid, then took out a silver needle and carefully checked what was sent.
Melotsy marveled at the caution of Ji Liunian.
"We are in danger now. Maybe we died at the hands of that person inadvantly, so we should be cautious about what we eat and drink. Do you understand? Since there were rumors about you before, now that you have come back, you are also their sworn in the same way.
Melotsy will.
"Sister Ji is still cautious."
Ji Liunian smiled bitterly.
"I have exercised caution. If you are not careful, you will die, haha." Ji Liunian ate it at ease.
After eating, Ji Liunian called the bodyguard over.
"Did the emperor go to the morning today?"
"The Empress Dowager, the emperor went to the morning today. He looks good, but he retired relatively early."
"Oh, I know. You go to the emperor's place to have a look. If he asks his father-in-law for a drink, you can tell him not to drink. That's what I ordered. If he doesn't listen, come to me. This alcohol addiction can't be quit in a day or two. Pay attention to it.
The bodyguard nodded quickly and said goodbye.
"Sister Ji, will it be hard to break it all of a sudden? Why don't you take your time..."
"If he can't stand this **, he doesn't deserve to be the emperor. Don't worry, as long as he is strict, he will quit soon. If he quits little by little, I don't know how much time he will have to wait.
Merlotin nodded. Now Ji Liunian is full of energy, which is completely in her 40-year-old state.
"Sister Ji, shall we go to the harem now?"
"Of course, let's go. Although we don't know who it is yet, it's okay to scare them." Ji Liunian laughed.
The two soon came to the harem and summoned all the little masters and concubines. Ji Liunian sat, Melochen stood next to him, and the people below saluted respectfully.
"You all kneel down for your family." Ji Liunian shouted angrily. All the concubines knelt down tremblingly.
"Don't do so many sacred and strange things. Aijia is not a vegetarian. If you know who is playing tricks, as long as you find evidence, you will never forgive her. The two grandchildren of the mourning family died before eating a mouthful of milk, and these mourning families will be rewarded by them.
Li Jieyu was so scared that her palms were sweating. Those timid little masters were scared to tears even if they didn't do bad things.
"Don't think that you can't see what's going on here if you leave. You all know what the hell you're doing. The mourning family comes by like you. You all know that the mourning family is nothing more than coveting the position of queen. The Ai family made it clear today. The emperor has told the Ai family that who should do the position of the queen is decided by the Ai family.
All the concubines were trembling. Looking at Ji Liunian, they didn't know how powerful this beautiful woman who claimed to be a mourner was. Now that I see her real face, most of the concubines sigh at themselves.
Li Jieyu looked up and looked at Ji Liunian. Ji Liunian glanced at her white, which scared her heart.
"You have the courage to get out of my family. Today, my family will kill you as an example." Ji Liunian was furious and saw that this woman's face was not right, and there was an evil spirit. Her heart was even more dissatisfied.
"The empress dowager spares her life, the empress dowager spares her life..." Li Jieyu shouted, not to think that Ji Liunian would be so angry because she looked up at her. She hated herself very much.
"Sister Ji, just forgive her. She is just curious for a moment." Melochen also knelt down.
"Since Melochen pleaded with you, I will forgive you. Listen to me. Melochen can replace the mourning family when she is away. Whoever doesn't listen to her words will be punished. If anyone says Meloqin's rumors, the mourning family will be beheaded immediately when they hears it. The mourning family has also made it clear to you that the mourning family intends to support Melochen as the queen, and you should not spread it behind your back. If anyone doesn't accept it, you can tell your family.
Ji Liunian's words made Melochen very embarrassed, but she couldn't say anything.
"Well, I won't say anything else. Anyway, any of you know what you have done. Your family will not wrong a good person or let a bad person go. You can't escape. Now you all step back." Ji Liunian stood up. They still knelt there until Ji Liunian went far away and they dared to move.
"This empress dowager gave us a majesty as soon as she came back, which is simply..." The little master couldn't stand complaining, and everyone looked at her. She immediately closed her mouth.
Suddenly, they became silent, and they all left one after another.
"Sister Ji, with such a threat, the real murderer scared away." Melochen said with a smile.
"I just want to scare them. As soon as they are afraid, they will mess themselves up. Don't worry, they are all in the roster. How can they run away?"
"I didn't expect Sister Ji's voice to be so loud, which really scared me."
"Then you are rare and strange. You are usually too gentle to you. In fact, a sick cat can also look like a tiger, haha." Ji Liunian said with a smile.
After a rage, Ji Liunian felt much more refreshed. But when she thought of the four dead people, she felt that there was still a haze in her heart that kept her away. If she doesn't find the real murderer, she can't dispel the haze in a day.
Li Jieyu has been uneasy since she went back, and Xiaohong also heard the wind.
"Li Jieyu, are you all right? Your face is white..." Xiaohong said tremblingly.
"Ping me some tea." Li Jieyu felt weak all over her body. This was just scared by Ji Liunian. She really thought she would be beheaded. Fortunately, Meloqin stood up... Why Meloqin? What is this Meloqin? It's not because she has been following the empress dowager that she is so favored. What can she compare with herself?!
"Li Jieyu, are you all right?" Xiaohong dared not look into Li Jieyu's eyes.
"I have nothing to do, just a false alarm. Now that the Empress Dowager is back, we must be very cautious. She is more difficult, more vicious and sinister than I thought. Li Jieyu's back is still sweating coldly.
"I know. No matter what others ask me, I say I don't know."
"No, if you are so defensive, they will be more suspicious. You just need to respond carefully." Li Jieyu took Xiaohong's hand.
Little Red nodded.
"Don't be afraid, don't forget our covenant. Don't forget it."
Xiao Hong nodded, and her body was also trembling.
The next day, Ji Liunian began to search the rooms of various concubines in the harem, and everything that was suspicious must be handed in. In fact, Ji Liunian knew that even the evidence had been destroyed. Her purpose of doing this was to make the person who had done bad things unable to sleep, deliberately worried them day and night, and finally showed her feet.
Looking at this situation, Xiaohong became more and more afraid and uneasy. Finally, I got sick. Ji Liunian learned that Xiaohong used to be a close maid of Lin Guiren. After Lin Guiren died and was received by Li Jieyu, he was a little suspicious of Xiaohong. Meloqin told her that Xiaohong fell ill, and Ji Liunian felt even more that Xiaohong knew the inside story.
Ji Liunian remained calm. Xiaohong slowly recovered her body, and Ji Liunian summoned her in again. Xiaohong's face turned pale with fear.
"Empress dowager, I don't know anything, and I don't do anything." Xiaohong cried.
"You are the maid beside Lin Guiren. How can you know nothing? I haven't asked, and you don't know what to say. Do you know what I'm going to ask you?" Ji Liunian looked at her fiercely.
Xiao Hong was scared like a mouse seeing a cat.
"I don't know anything. Please don't ask." Xiaohong was very scared and a little confused.
"Haha, you obviously have a problem. I saw you sick before and couldn't bear to torture you. Now that you are well, I will put you in prison until you tell the truth." Ji Liunian laughed.
The guards came in and escorted Xiaohong out. Xiaohong has been trembling and crying.
After Li Jieyu knew that Xiaohong had been sent to prison, she trembling with fear.
"Maybe the Empress Dowager has suspected me, and it's all my fault that I looked up that day..."
In fact, Ji Liunian only took advantage of the topic and didn't remember Li Jieyu at all. Li Jieyu was as scared as a frightened bird.
Everyone is guessing that the next step will be Li Jieyu. But there is no movement in Ji Liunian.
Xiao Hong bit her tongue and committed suicide in prison.
Li Jieyu was very happy to hear the news. Now that Xiaohong is dead, no one will ever know what she has done, unless she says it herself. Li Jieyu's heart began to calm down again.
"I won't say even if I die. Let's see how she can treat me?"
Ji Liunian summoned Li Jieyu in.
"Li Jieyu, why did you take Xiao Hong as a personal maid? She is Lin Guiren's personal maid. Now that Lin Guiren has gone, no one is afraid of the people and things next to her.
"I... In fact, I had a good relationship with Lin Guiren before my death. Lin Guiren left, and I was very sad. Xiaohong begged me to accept her. There was another smart maid in my room, so I took her in. Empress Dowager, please check that I absolutely didn't do anything wrong to the emperor and Dacheng..." Li Jieyu's back sweated coldly, and she tried to control her emotions.
"You are still arguing now. Let me tell you, Xiaohong has told the truth." Ji Liunian said viciously.
