After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang was not in a hurry and went back to the room to take a nap. When Zijin woke her up and said that the queen was here, she got up and went over.

It was about to dawn, and the morning mist shrouded the garden, making it cold and cold.

Jingshui Pavilion was already surrounded by officials from Jingzhao Mansion. The housekeeper was waiting outside anxiously. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly ran forward: "Princess, the officials from Jingzhao Mansion were brought by the Queen. We can't stop them."

Liu Yunxiang sneered: "If there is a murder case, it is appropriate to use the government."

The queen made up her mind and planned to send her to prison.

"His Royal Highness is not at home. Do you want to go into the palace to find him?"

"No need."

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath. If he was present and his performance was not up to par, the queen would probably blame him for the whole trouble.

After entering the courtyard, the queen stood in front of the main door with a solemn expression. When she saw her coming in, her eyes focused on her, getting sharper and sharper, and she also seemed to be vaguely proud.

She felt that she had won this round.

When Liu Yunxiang went in, he discovered that the queen not only brought official officials from Jingzhao Mansion, but also several ladies from aristocratic families, including Jiang Yunying.

Yuan Qingyue comes from one of the eight aristocratic families, and the eight aristocratic families have always been united. The queen brought these ladies here to let them make the decision for Yuan Qingyue and seek justice for her. Sure enough, as soon as she came in, these people all looked at her with hatred in their eyes.

Liu Yunxiang nodded to them one by one without losing etiquette, then walked up to the queen and saluted her.

The queen snorted coldly, "The concubine in your palace was poisoned, and we have come all the way here. Why did you come just now?"

Liu Yunxiang yawned and said, "It's not yet dawn, I just woke up."

"This is the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion. You are the Princess of Zhenbei, in charge of the affairs of state. Now that such a big thing has happened in the mansion, do you still want to sleep?"

"Yes, something happened in my house, but I can still sleep peacefully, but I don't think you all have the heart to sleep anymore."

"What are you talking about, princess? How can we, the aunts and uncles, sleep after learning that Qing Yue was poisoned? There is no one in the Chang Bo Mansion, but with several of our noble families here, we must not give it to Qing Yue." Justice!"

The person who said this was Lady Feng, Mrs. Zhongyongbo. She was the sister-in-law of the second lady of the Marquis of Jing'an. After the second lady went crazy, this Feng even went to the Marquis's mansion and scolded her under the instigation of the old lady.

After the second lady passed away, they came to the Marquis Mansion to make trouble and wanted to tie her up for the funeral of the second lady. She didn't resist and stretched out her hands for them to tie.

"On this journey, I will publicize the deeds of the second lady during her lifetime. Who will be embarrassed by that?"

In order to save the second master, the old lady and the second lady forced her to commit herself to Yan Mu, and in the end she suffered the consequences and was humiliated by a beggar. They knew this to some extent. The second lady was born in Uncle Zhongyong's house. Once these scandals were publicized, their house would also be embarrassed, and they were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to care about it anymore.

Later, when Yan Mu learned about this, he found an excuse to call Uncle Zhongyong to Xichang to have a good meeting with the world. After hearing this, Uncle Zhongyong came out of the West Factory and fell to the ground. He was ill for half a month before he recovered.

This Feng family had a grudge against her, so when he got the chance to step on her, he was the first one to show up.

Liu Yunxiang turned around and glanced at Mrs. Feng, and then at the people behind her. There was Mrs. Zhenguo Gong, who had a serious face that made it difficult to guess what she was thinking. Next to her stood Mrs. Yang Guogong. She was in poor health, and the three ladies beside her were supporting her. The third lady, Mrs. Cheng, glanced at her and then lowered her eyes, obviously not wanting to stand out. There are several other ladies, most of whom are of the younger generation. This shows that the Eighth Family has withered away and is no longer as prosperous as it once was.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Feng and sighed: "Yes, this Yuan is still pregnant with a child, who would be so cruel to poison her!"

Seeing the heartbroken look on Liu Yunxiang's face, the queen snorted coldly: "Previously, I sent Concubine Yuan back to the palace, and the princess was in every kind of embarrassment. Now that she is gone and her child is gone, I wonder if the palace is as happy as it wants?"

"Empress, I was wronged, and I'm very sad too!" Liu Yunxiang said and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.

Isn't it just about acting? As long as she is not disgusting, others will be disgusted.

Sure enough, the queen's face turned green when she saw her like this.

"Princess, Concubine Yuan is pregnant with the emperor's heir. The person who poisoned the concubine may be jealous of Concubine Yuan, but poisoning the emperor's heir is a capital crime." Jiang Yunying looked at Liu Yunxiang. At this time, she was standing next to the queen, standing on the steps. Above, he looked at Liu Yunxiang condescendingly, as if he were an extremely noble person in power.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It is indeed a capital crime to murder the emperor's heir."

Jiang Yunying let out a long sigh, "I wonder who is so confused."

"The person who poisoned her must be someone from the palace. He must have been instructed by someone." Feng glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and the words were clearly referring to her.

Liu Yunxiang just pretended that he didn't understand, "The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture has come with official officials, so let's check carefully."

The Queen took a deep breath and said: "I have already informed the Holy Lord that the murderer must be found and we will not tolerate it."

At this time, Li Zhong, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, came in in a hurry. Behind him were two officials escorting a chubby short man with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this man is the cook in the palace's kitchen. When I interrogated him, he spoke incoherently. When I questioned him carefully, he panicked and admitted that he had poisoned Concubine Yuan's food."

Two officers escorted the cook over and asked him to kneel on the ground.

The queen glanced sideways at Jiang Yunying, and when she saw her nodding, she understood and turned to look at the cook.

"Tell me why you poisoned Concubine Yuan!"

The cook was trembling, and it seemed that he was not the kind of bold person.

"The little ones...the little ones are obsessed with things...no one is instructing..."

The queen narrowed her eyes, "How long have you been in the palace?"

"I just came here...the day before yesterday."

"Have you ever met Concubine Yuan?"

"No, no."

"You have never even met Concubine Yuan, let alone have any grudge. You have no reason to harm her. Unless someone forces you or induces you, you would poison her."

"The little one...the younger one is older than the younger one...I dare not say it!" The cook fell to the ground, and a grown man began to cry.

Several ladies nearby looked at it and talked in low voices.

"It seems that someone is using his family to force him."

"Whoever has this ability, you don't have to think about it to know who it is."

"She is really cruel."

"How else could she transform from a widow in the Marquis's mansion into a princess?"

Liu Yunxiang listened to these discussions, but she didn't speak. She occasionally looked up, and by chance she saw the third lady of Duke Yang's Mansion looking at her, with clear regret in her eyes.

She thought it was her too.

She laughed lightly and asked, "You said you poisoned Concubine Yuan's food, so why didn't the poison develop after she ate the dinner, but it took a full hour for the poison to develop?"
