After rebirth, the queen’s character is falling apart every day

"I don't know, I don't know? Shouldn't Concubine Xue be in her own palace?" Jiang Zhaoyi looked confused.

Feng Lengyan glanced at her coldly, "Really? Do you really don't know?"

Jiang Zhaoyi shook his head and answered as always, "I don't know."

Feng Lengran's eyes were fierce, and he suddenly raised his hand to lift her chin. Jiang Zhaoyi was immediately frightened and her eyes rolled around, "Queen, no matter how much you favor Concubine Xue, you can't unjustly accuse me for her sake." , I have always been loyal to you."

Feng Lengran interrupted her sternly, "If this were not the case, I would have reported this matter to the emperor long ago. You should know what the emperor would do to you if he knew about it!"

Jiang Zhaoyi paused, "What does the Queen mean?"

Seeing that she still refused to give up, Feng Lengran sighed coldly and said: "The incident of Concubine Xue being kidnapped in the harem has caused panic. I have sent so many people out to search for her. How could you not know about it?"

Jiang Zhaoyi shook his head, "I have been feeling unwell these past few days. I have been staying in the palace and have never been out. I really don't know what happened outside."

"You really don't cry until you see the coffin!"

Since Jiang Zhaoyi refused to confess, Feng Lengran directly ordered the palace maid to search her palace.

Jiang Zhaoyi saw this mess and looked at Feng Lengran in panic, "Queen, why did you accuse me so unjustly?"

Jiang Zhaoyi said pitifully and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Feng Lengran didn't bother to look up at her. She really didn't expect Jiang Zhaoyi to be so scheming. She had turned a blind eye before, but Jiang Zhaoyi first killed Concubine Chen, and then drugged her and used her to deal with Xue. Qingcheng is pretty good at pretending to be innocent right now.

It's a pity that she forgot one thing. Feng Lengran knew the harem very well, and her people were all over the harem, including Jiang Zhaoyi, who also had her eyes on her.

Jiang Zhaoyi behaved strangely today and had not left the house since yesterday. However, her maid secretly contacted Liu Yu, the deputy chief eunuch, and bribed several young eunuchs to kidnap Xue Qingcheng.

Feng Lengran didn't want to make the matter a big deal. If Jiang Zhaoyi refused to hand over Xue Qingcheng today, then don't blame her for arresting Liu Yu first and then her!

At this moment, Forsythia came over, came to her side, and whispered: "Queen, Liu Yu is recruiting."

Feng Lengran couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Jiang Zhaoyi really disappointed her.

At this time, the palace maids who searched the palace also came back, "Report to the Queen, the slaves did not notice that Concubine Xue was here."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt down in front of Feng Lengran, crying again, "Empress, I know that you favor Concubine Xue and don't like me, but if you slander me like this, I will never do it again in the future." How to be a human being?"

"The Emperor is here!"

At this time, the emperor who heard about this also came over. He had not yet changed into his court uniform. After entering the palace, he asked directly: "Queen, have you found Concubine Xue?"

Feng Lengran didn't expect that the emperor's news would be received so quickly. It seemed that the emperor had a lot of informants.

Just as Feng Lengran was about to reply, Jiang Zhaoyi burst into tears and threw herself at the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Concubine Xue has disappeared today, so the Queen has wronged me. Is it because I hid Concubine Xue secretly?" How dare I do such a thing? Please make the decision for me!"

Feng Lengran was speechless, this Jiang Zhaoyi was better at acting than she was!

The emperor looked at Feng Lengran with deep eyes and asked, "Has the queen found any clues?"

Feng Lengran shook his head.

The emperor asked again: "Does the queen have evidence pointing to Jiang Zhaoyi?"

Feng Lengran still shook his head.

She didn't want to involve Liu Yu because Liu Yu belonged to her father. In addition, she also wanted to keep Jiang Zhaoyi and give Jiang Zhaoyi one last chance.

Feng Lengran saluted and said: "Your Majesty, although I have no evidence, I am sure that Concubine Xue is in Jiang Zhaoyi's palace. I also ask for your permission to search it personally. If Concubine Xue is still not found, I am willing to take it." Punishment!"

Jiang Zhaoyi cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Queen's people have already searched once, and now they have to search a second time in front of the Emperor. Doesn't this mean that I'm slapping my concubine in the face in front of the whole palace? Anyway, I'm concubine. I have no shame in living anymore, so I might as well ask the emperor to grant my concubine a death!"

Hearing this, Feng Lengran's anger was already full. Originally, she wanted to give Jiang Zhaoyi a chance. Haha, she was looking for death!

Feng Lengran was about to speak, but the emperor suddenly said coldly: "You don't need to tell me if you want to die!"

Everyone was stunned.

Jiang Zhaoyi also looked at the emperor in confusion, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor said coldly: "The queen is the master of the first palace. If she wants to search a small palace, does she need permission from you, Xiao Zhaoyi?"

Jiang Zhaoyi choked up, "But I was wronged!"

"Even if you are unjustly accused, even if the queen can't find out anything in your palace, I have graciously approved this matter. If you continue to refuse to cooperate, I will think that you have something evil in your heart. If you insist on death, then I... ...." The emperor sneered and continued: "I will treat you as committing suicide out of fear of crime!"

So cruel!

Feng Lengran had suppressed her anger. Seeing that the emperor was so cruel to Jiang Zhaoyi, she had nothing to say for a moment.

The emperor ordered: "Queen, search if you want!"

"Yes!"

Feng Lengran accepted the imperial edict and led his people to search again.

There is indeed no place to hide people in Jiang Zhaoyi's palace. Feng Lengran has checked everything she should and found nothing, but her report will not be false.

Feng Lengran was about to change his approach and arrest a few palace maids for torture. Suddenly he saw a room in the side hall was covered with dust, but only the door lock was clean.

Feng Lengran pushed the door open and went in. The place had been checked, but it was empty.

Feng Lengran lifted up her skirt and walked in. She noticed the footprints on the ground. In addition to the ones left by the palace servants who had just searched the palace, there was also a footprint that led directly to the bed.

Feng Lengran walked over, looked carefully, then raised his hand to lift the quilt, and sure enough he saw that the bed board was clean and spotless.

"Queen, this slave has already seen it under the bed." Forsythia said.

Feng Lengran kept staring at the floor under the bed in deep thought. Suddenly, she bent her fingers and tapped the ground gently. It was indeed empty.

Forsythia also noticed.

Feng Lengran stepped back and ordered: "Open it!"

Forsythia immediately went up to pry open the floor, but found a hidden buckle under the floor. Forsythia easily took it out, and there was a small space underneath. Xue Qingcheng's whole body was tied up and locked underneath, and she was already unconscious.

"Help me carry her out."

After Feng Lengran and Forsythia carried Xue Qingcheng outside the house, Forsythia was about to call someone, but was stopped by Feng Lengran.

Feng Lengran pushed Xue Qingcheng and shook her awake, "Xue Fei? Wake up quickly!"

Xue Qingcheng opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Feng Lengran, she immediately hugged her, "Empress, I thought I would never see you again. Is I dead now?"

Feng Lengran smiled bitterly, "You are still alive, and this is not the underworld. Do you still remember who kidnapped you?"

Xue Qingcheng recalled what happened that day. After she came out of Fengyi Palace, she was knocked unconscious. When she woke up, she saw Jiang Zhaoyi here.
