Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Li Jin's eyes widened, and he looked at the maid in astonishment: "How is this possible? Why would the emperor give the queen's jewelry to Yao'er? Did the emperor really say that in person?"

The maid said timidly, "Sister Shengxia took back all the jewellery from here."

Li Jin's face suddenly turned gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and asked sternly, "Tell me, was this an order from the emperor himself?"

Who was he trying to mislead with such a specious answer? He hated hesitating and ambiguous speech the most.

The maid was so scared that she shook her head repeatedly and replied in a trembling voice: "My lord, I am just a little maid. How can I be qualified to hear the order issued by the emperor himself?"

Li Jin frowned even more tightly, and continued to ask, "Then why do you say it was sent by the emperor?"

How could he say such an important thing? It concerns the emperor, the queen, and his daughter! He must ask for the truth.

"But since these things can be sent here, they must have the emperor's permission, right? Without the emperor's order, who would have the courage to do this? Those are the queen's jewelry. Who can take them out without the emperor's order?" the maid said in panic.

Li Jin stood there blankly, his mind was a mess, he couldn't figure out what was going on. He was full of doubts and frowned tightly.

What the maid said did make some sense. Without the emperor's order, the servants would not dare to touch the queen's jewelry easily. After all, this is the inner court of the imperial palace, with strict rules. Who dares to disobey the emperor's order?

But the problem is, those are the queen's jewelry! These things represent supreme power and status, which are simply unattainable for ordinary people. And now, the emperor actually wants to give them to Yao'er, which is really incredible.

Why did the emperor do this? Is it because he has a special feeling for Yao'er? Or is there some unknown secret hidden in it?

Yao'er was just an ordinary maid. Although she was cute and beautiful, she was still far behind the queen.

The more Li Jin thought about it, the more confused he became, and his mood became heavier.

"You two, why don't we go to the house where Yao'er hanged herself?" Yun Xi looked at the two of them sincerely and suggested softly.

The two ministers from the Dali Temple looked at each other, and one of them nodded and responded, "Okay." After all, for them, staying in a woman's boudoir all the time was a rather embarrassing thing.

The room where Li Yaoer hanged herself was next to the bedroom.

After being rescued, in order to protect the scene, Chuchun had Miss Yaoer moved to the next room.

The ministers of the Dali Temple looked around carefully.

"Your Majesty, there is no sign of anyone coming in through the window," one of them said.

"Empress, there are no signs of fighting in the room." said another.

In other words, it is very likely that Li Yaoer committed suicide, and the possibility of homicide is very small.

"Is this white silk from this room?" One of them picked up the white silk and looked at it.

"You should ask the maids here. I just got here too." Yun Xi shook her head.

Not long after, Chuchun came in with the nanny who had gone to their palace to ask for help.

This maid was arranged to be the head maid.

"Greetings to the Queen! Greetings to Your Excellency!" The nanny knelt down and kowtowed.

"Well, where is this white silk from?" asked the person from Dali Temple.

The mammy stood up and walked over to take a closer look.

"Your Excellency, this white silk is very common, but I wonder if it exists in this yard. Shall I go and check first?" The nanny was so nervous that she was sweating all over.

The people had just arrived and hadn't settled down yet. So many things were delivered, and they were brought in by different people. She hadn't had time to check the accounts yet, so how could she know where the white silk came from?

"Chuchun, cooperate with the adults in the investigation." Yun Xi ordered directly.

It's obvious that this nanny has no experience and she's afraid of delaying things.

"Yes. Your Majesty, you are tired. Why don't you go back and rest first? Leave this to me and you." Chuchun looked at Yunxi worriedly, her face was obviously much paler than usual.

Yun Xi was indeed very tired.

She sighed, "Arrange a place for Lord Li to rest. Ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for Li Yaoer and give her acupuncture if possible."

She really hopes that Li Yaoer will wake up as soon as possible.

"Empress, this case involves you, so you should ask your maid to stay away from it." said the person from the Dali Temple.

"Ah? Ha! Okay." Yun Xi didn't expect that they would doubt her.

Do you think she likes to be busy?

I wish I could be a hands-off boss!

"Chuchun, then you come back with me. Shengxia, let's go together." Yun Xi said and turned around to leave.

"Wait, Shengxia is suspected of murdering Miss Yaoer, she can't leave." The people from Dali Temple suddenly reached out to stop her and said in a firm attitude.

"Bullshit! How could I murder her?" Shengxia was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't help but curse.

"Whether it's harmful or not, we'll know after the case is fully investigated." The people from the Dali Temple were unmoved and still stretched out their hands to stop Shengxia.

"How dare you!" Yun Xi's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy, and she angrily scolded: "You are simply talking nonsense! When Shengxia left, Miss Yao'er was still alive and kicking, what does this have to do with her?"

"But...they had an argument..." someone whispered.

"So what if we have a dispute? Haven't you seen people quarreling before? If one of the people quarreling dies, does that mean the other one will be held responsible?" Yun Xi frowned and said in a cold voice.

“Besides, Shengxia is just taking back something that belongs to me, what’s wrong with that?

As an adult, Li Yaoer should be responsible for her own behavior. When Shengxia met her, she was wearing her favorite jewelry on her head, which was worth a fortune!

She was a person who fell into the water and was rescued by me, but instead of taking a good rest, she was so high-profile. As my personal servant, Shengxia would naturally be angry when she saw this. Is it wrong for her to get angry?

If Li Yaoer is really upset about this matter, it only shows that her psychological quality is too poor and she cannot bear such pressure. "

Yun Xi looked around coldly and continued, "And I believe Sheng Xia would not do anything to harm others. There must be other reasons for this incident. We can't just jump to conclusions based on superficial phenomena."

Yun Xi's voice was firm and powerful, and everyone present couldn't help but be moved. They originally thought that Yun Xi would keep Sheng Xia, but they didn't expect that she would protect her like this.

Yun Xi continued, "No matter what, Shengxia is mine, so I will naturally protect her. If you think Shengxia did something wrong, you can provide evidence to prove it. But before that, please don't speculate or accuse her at will."

After saying that, she turned around and left the room with the two maids, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
