Difficult strategy? The Queen's top white lotus, directly grasp

Nie Shuangshuang met her eyes and her heart trembled. It seemed that someone had looked at her like this before.

Shu Xiaozhu was kneeling on the cold and hard floor of the imperial study at this moment. His figure looked particularly desolate, with messy black hair hanging down on his shoulders and his clothes in tattered condition. It seemed that he had been tortured to the point of being almost invisible these days.

There was a scratch on her pretty and delicate face, ruining her appearance, and her eyes flashed with silent despair and sadness.

This woman is Shu Xiaoyin, the younger sister of Concubine Shu, Shu Xiaozhu.

She had eaten something bad and was unable to speak. Not only that, the index and middle fingers of her left and right hands were cut off. From then on, she could no longer hold a pen and write. Her throat was damaged and she could not write either. Are they trying to kill her?

Nie Shuangshuang was not a fool. "Your Majesty, how come Shu Xiaozhu's voice is damaged and his hand is broken? Doesn't that mean he can't say anything?"

When Shu Xiaoyin heard this, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, which was easily caught by Nie Shuangshuang.

Unable to hold back her tears and trembling, she said, "Your Majesty, Queen, Xiaozhu knew she was in the wrong for doing such a thing, so she has been in a trance day and night. She accidentally hurt her hand while cutting vegetables, and she also ruined her throat by eating something bad. She is already pitiful enough.

In the end, it was all for me. She has been with me and grew up with me. When she saw me being humiliated by Concubine Qi many times, she stood up for me and wanted to set fire to kill Concubine Qi. It was really because I didn’t know how to control my subordinates that this disaster happened. Please, Your Majesty, depose me, but don’t implicate my mother’s family and my sister!”

As she spoke, she hugged Shu Xiaozhu beside her and cried with deep emotion, but Nie Shuangshuang saw fear and hatred in Shu Xiaozhu's eyes.

She felt strange in her heart. This person... seemed a little strange, but she couldn't figure it out. She just felt a stuffy feeling in her chest as if a huge rock was blocking it.

Shu Xiaozhu's knees were red and swollen from kneeling, tears were streaming down her face and she couldn't control it at all. The cold floor beneath her knees even became warm.

"Don't move, this will save your life, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"

Shu Xiaoyin hugged her and took the opportunity to whisper in her ear, "Things have come to this, you just have to listen to me, otherwise your fate will only be more tragic!"

Shu Xiaozhu's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and it was obvious that he was scared to the extreme. Nie Shuangshuang's beautiful eyes kept wandering between the two of them, her gaze as sharp as a torch.

"This concubine's daughter of the Shu family, I remember your mother is also in the Shu family, how about letting her enter the palace as well?

My daughter made a mistake, so I can't be irresponsible!"

Nie Shuangshuang wanted to meet the young lady from the Shu family.

Shu Xiaozhu raised her head. Although she couldn't speak, hope was ignited when she heard Nie Shuangshuang say to let her mother enter the palace.

With the light of hope reflected in her pupils, Nie Shuangshuang could not help but frown. If Shu Xiaozhu was threatened by Shu Xiaoyin, then he could only use his concubine in the Shu family. After all, she was a concubine. If she did not do as Shu Xiaoyin said, she would be in great danger.

She must love her mother very much. When something like this happened, the first thing she would think of was to protect her mother from being implicated. Why did she show joy when she heard that she wanted to call her mother into the palace?

Tears were welling up in Shu Xiaoyin's eyes. She was crying confidently, but when she heard Nie Shuangshuang's words, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"Empress! They say that one's family members should not be blamed for any crime. This is all my and my sister's fault, and it has nothing to do with my parents.

Besides, although Xiaozhu's mother was a concubine, she was the most reasonable one. There was no other concubine in the entire capital who was as law-abiding and respectful to her mistress as she was.

She must have nothing to do with this case. If the Queen and His Majesty want to deal with the Shu family, I have nothing to say. However, the women in my family live in the backyard and know nothing about this.

There is really no need to continue to endure this unprovoked disaster!"

Seeing that every word she said was defending Shu Xiaozhu's mother, Nie Shuangshuang felt something was not right.

According to her observation of Shu Xiaoyin, although this woman is the legitimate daughter of the Shu family, seems gentle and virtuous, a woman of the same type as her, and has a faint aura of white lotus, but deep down she looks down on others and it is absolutely impossible for her to praise a concubine so highly.

This is completely different from what she showed before!

However, Nie Shuangshuang didn't say anything. She was just using these words to test him.

Song Chuji, who was standing by, felt a little puzzled.

But now that Nie Shuangshuang is here, his focus will definitely be on Nie Shuangshuang, and he doesn't even want to look at these people anymore.

He immediately waved his hand and issued an order, "Concubine Qi of Chuxiu Palace has deliberately plotted to murder the Queen. She deserves death. She will be demoted to a noble lady and sent to the cold palace. She will be allowed to return to Chuxiu Palace in three months!

As for the Qi family... Grand Tutor Qi is old and confused. From now on, you don't have to come to court anymore. It's better for you to rest at home!

Women from the Qi family are no longer allowed to enter the palace as concubines!

As for the Shu family, although Concubine Shu was not the mastermind behind the fire in the palace, she failed to control her subordinates, which is a crime!

Zhuo will be made a concubine, confined for half a year, and fined one year's salary! Kneeling in front of the Buddha day and night, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings!

As for Shu Xiaozhu, she will be sent to the cold palace with Concubine Qi, and she will never be allowed to leave the palace!"

If you didn't kill anyone, this is the lightest punishment!

The people present finally felt relieved. They were afraid that Song Chuji would get angry and kill them all, which would then lead to endless rumors among the people.

Shu Xiaoyin and Shu Xiaozhu were also dragged away by the eunuchs. Xiao Rong knelt on the ground, feeling extremely terrified. She looked up at Nie Shuangshuang shyly, but happened to meet her smiling eyes. She couldn't help but lower her head again.

The Queen Mother was truly an expert in foresight. Not only had she long ago guessed that Concubine Shu would find ways to get rid of this great threat while Concubine Qi was downfallen, but she also knew that Concubine Shu would definitely find a way to get rid of this great threat while Concubine Qi was downfallen.

Such a trap was set deliberately to wait for her to fall into it. As for Xiaorong's seriously ill sister, the Queen Mother had already secretly sent people to treat her.

Yao Peiyuan also visited the doctor several times, and his condition had obviously improved.

However, although she had a hidden story, she still did something wrong, so Song Chuji did not plan to marry her to Yao Peiyuan for the time being.

In his opinion, Yao Peiyuan had never had any contact with girls before, and suddenly met one with a quirky personality, and was bewitched and obsessed by her.

According to his standards, it was impossible for him to fall in love with this plain-looking girl.

Fortunately, he has now started to pay attention to the women around him, which is a good sign.

"You have worked really hard during this period, my dear, but why are you still standing here? Take your little Miss Rong out quickly."
