As the old saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Her reaction at this moment was enough to prove that there was indeed something wrong with her.
Hence, Chu Huaijin's sharp eyes immediately glared at her. Shen Pan 'er was so frightened that she retreated continuously, crying and shouting as she wanted to jump into Chu Huaijin's arms.
"Emperor, emperor save me, this damned slut wants to murder this minister's concubine, you can't believe her words.”
Chu Huaijin looked at her coldly and frowned unhappily.""I will judge who is right and who is wrong.”
Seeing the hatred in the eyes of the jade palace maid, he glanced at her and said,"Zhen is warning you. If you speak one word, then speak two words. If you speak nonsense, Zhen will definitely execute your entire family.”
The little palace maid trembled and knelt down. She raised her hand and screamed, wanting to swear on her life.
"If this servant has even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die without a complete corpse.”
Chu Huaijin frowned and looked at her, indicating that she could speak.
"This matter…we have to start from the matter of Consort Lian being pregnant with the dragon seed.”
"Shut up. The Empress is now the Empress. How can you insult her as you please?”A palace maid beside Shen Pan 'er glared at her coldly and scolded her sternly, trying to suppress her aura.
"Men, pull him down. He actually has no manners in front of me.”Chu Huaijin looked at Shen Pan 'er with an increasingly unfriendly gaze. She was usually quite well-behaved and polite, but now she was like a shrew in the market. If it wasn't her nature, then she must have done something bad, which caused her to be so afraid.
He was a little curious, so he asked Xiao Luzi to clear out all the irrelevant people and quietly listened to the story told by the little palace maid in green clothes.
"This servant…This servant's original name is Luzhi. I used to be Consort Lian's…Uh, no, the Empress 'personal palace maid. All of the Empress's things are taken care of by this servant, so I'm very familiar with her affairs.”
"Get to the point." Chu Huaijin slammed the table. What was all this nonsense? He was only concerned about what happened between Shen Pan 'er and Lin Yueying. He didn't intend to care about anything else.
"Yes……yes, yes, this servant……actually, actually the empress was not pregnant with the dragon child at all. She lied to the emperor.”
Luzhi shouted with all her strength, her face pale with fear.
Chu Huaijin's expression was as dark as water. His cold eyes swept across Shen Pan 'er, who was kneeling at his feet.
Shen Pan 'er's first reaction was to look at Chu Huaijin's expression. When she saw that there was no warmth in his eyes when he looked at her, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. It's over, it's over. Everything is over.
No, no, she was not done yet. Anyway, that woman was already dead, and she was the only noble woman in the palace. In addition, her father had just been promoted to the position of Prime Minister, so she could be considered to have power and influence. She believed that with Chu Huaijin's doting on her, he would definitely forgive her after hearing her crying and begging. She forced herself to calm down and pushed a green branch fiercely. She pointed at her and reprimanded,
"Luzhi, you traitor, who gave you such a benefit that you dared to destroy this prince?”
Luzhi knocked her head against the long table, causing her back to hurt. She endured the pain and laughed coldly,""Empress, aren't you afraid? Have you ever thought that in order to drag Empress Lin down, you deliberately pretended to be pregnant and framed her to cause you to have a miscarriage?
That was truly a life…And you, in order to cover up your crimes, you actually killed me to silence me. Fortunately, the heavens are watching, and the heavens do not intend to let you off…Haha, my dear Empress, your wish has truly come true. It's just that when you dream at night, have you ever dreamed that Empress Lin's child and servants came to find you?”
"You must be afraid. Otherwise, when you saw this servant, why would you think that this servant was a ghost? Hahaha…right, now you have the life of Empress Lin in your hands. Imagine her being burned alive by the torches your subordinates threw into the Cold Palace. "All the doors in the Cold Palace have been locked from the inside. Empress Lin…" Greenbranch kept repeating Lin Yueying's expression before she was swallowed by the fire.
"What…she didn't burn herself to death, she was locked up in the Cold Palace and burned alive.”Chu Huaijin stomped on Luzhi's chest with 30% of his strength, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her shrill laughter was suppressed in her chest, unable to come out.
" Haha, cough cough…" Luzhi panted and nodded slowly.
Xiao Luzi saw that she was about to lose half her life from being stepped on, so he quickly helped Chu Huaijin up.
" When the fire started, this servant was hiding on the wall. I saw with my own eyes how desperate Empress Lin was when she was burned in the fire. However, no matter how much she cried and begged, the guards sent by the Empress still refused to open the door and let her out..."
Luzhi took her last breath and finished speaking in one breath. She quietly crawled to the corner of the wall and hid.
"If you saw it, why didn't you say so earlier?”Chu Huaijin gritted his teeth in hatred.
Lin Yueying had been burned alive by someone else. Yes, he had said it before. How could she bear to commit suicide? She was such a patient woman. She could endure her father's imprisonment, her aunt's death, and even her entire family being killed. Now, she was just going to the Cold Palace. She would not take things too hard and commit suicide…
However, when he found out the truth, he felt even worse.
He touched the part of his left heart that was empty. Something had been swallowed by a wild beast. Perhaps that part had disappeared a long time ago. He just hadn't noticed it yet.
He bent over and leaned against the seat. It had been a long time since he felt so much pain. His fingers clenched into fists and he grabbed everything on the round table and threw it at Shen Pan 'er's face.
"Ah…it hurts so much. Emperor, this lowly servant is maligning Chenqie. Chenqie didn't want to harm elder sister Lin. If Chenqie really killed her as she said, how could she have come back alive?”
"Haha, my Empress, you must be curious as to why I am still alive. Unexpectedly…you failed to kill me. I used the token you gave me to hide near the Cold Palace. I saw that the Emperor had come to see Empress Lin, and your people had also come. You are jealous of her, jealous that even though she was banished to the Cold Palace, she still occupied the Emperor's heart.”
" So, you went all out and sent someone to burn her to death. You even chose the day when you ascended the throne. Everyone was admiring the beauty of the fireworks, but they didn't know that a woman more beautiful than the fireworks was swallowed alive by the fire…"
