Wu Meifeng secretly mocked herself and continued, "Everyone saw the scene in the iron cage. Everyone saw the male corpse in the corner clearly. Now is the hunting season. Logically, there should be only women in the enclosure. How did those men come? Why are they alone with Sister Changle?

This is really puzzling. Could it be that Sister Changle felt lonely and empty without the company of His Royal Highness Prince Gong, so she found these people, but was worried that they would leak the secret, so she simply killed them all and left no evidence?"

Wu Meifeng's words were full of malicious slander against Jiang Xue.

"Wu Meifeng, you need to have solid evidence for what you say and do. You are throwing mud at me so recklessly. Do you have any evidence?" Jiang Xue looked around and sneered, "Since you all saw that scene, then tell me, who saw me and those people do anything improper?"

The Queen and Wu Meifeng did not expect that Jiang Xue would ask such a question to the servants in public.

This woman is really hard to deal with.

The servants looked at each other, lowered their heads, and dared not speak.

They have been in the palace for so many years and have seen a lot of messy things in the palace. They can tell who has done what and who has not done what at a glance.

In fact, they only saw Princess Gong lying in a pool of blood, supported by two maids. The male corpses had already been lying on the side, cold.

Moreover, Princess Gong was at a distance from those people, and her clothes were neat and tidy. How could it look like she was doing anything shameful?

It was obvious that the Queen and Princess Qinwen took advantage of the absence of His Royal Highness and the Emperor to find trouble with Princess Gong.

Only then will they join in accusing others of their innocence.

"Sister Changle, why do you have to make things difficult for these servants? Even if they saw it, they wouldn't dare to say it out loud in order to save their lives." Wu Meifeng said sarcastically. Her poisonous eyes swept over the group of servants, and she cursed them in her heart as good-for-nothings.

In this kind of situation, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not, as long as rumors are created.

As the saying goes, "rumors can be scary, and three people can make a tiger." If you say it too many times, a lie will become true.

She didn't believe that when Xiao Zhan came back and heard the news, would he still pamper this woman as before?

And there is Emperor Beiling. If this scandal that tarnishes the royal dignity gets to his ears, Jiang Xue’s days will probably not last long.

"Changle, you really disappoint me."

The Queen put on a heartbroken look and sighed, "Yun Che was so good to you, but you did such a shameful thing when he was out hunting. How can you be worthy of his love and trust in you? Although I am not Yun Che's biological mother, I care about him just as much. After something like this happened, I feel sorry for him and for you."

"Empress, you and Princess Qinwen have been talking from beginning to end. Did you give Xiaoxue a chance to explain herself?"

Lu Linyi saw this and was very angry at the Queen and Wu Meifeng's cruel methods.

It is said that when women become cruel, they are more poisonous than snakes and scorpions. This palace is indeed a place where people are eaten.

Without any evidence, these two people distorted the facts out of proportion. They tried their best to bring Xiaoxue down.

No wonder Dad was so worried before he left. It seems he had foreseen that the Queen and her people would do something bad to Xiaoxue.

"Mother, Kuaile also feels that we cannot just listen to your and Princess Qinwen's one-sided story on this matter. As the party involved, Fourth Sister-in-law should have the right to defend herself." Xiao Gui changed his usual submissive attitude towards the Queen and spoke firmly for Jiang Xue.

For women, reputation is more important than life in Beiling.

If the Queen was allowed to accuse the Fourth Sister-in-law like this, it would not only affect her reputation, but also the Fourth Brother and even the entire Prince Gong's Mansion.

Her fourth brother and sister-in-law were so good to her, how could she sit idly by and watch Su Yushu treat them like this? This time, she would protect her sister-in-law to the end no matter what.

"You guys..." I didn't expect that the two girls who usually seemed the easiest to bully would be so tough this time.

Just to protect that little bitch Jiang Xue? What kind of magic power does she have that makes everyone revolve around her?

"Everyone saw the scene in the iron cage. Happy, you and Miss Lu were also there. What else is there to explain?" The hypocritical mask on the queen's face was washed away by anger. Two little girls who didn't know how to live or die dared to contradict her, the queen, in public. Are they trying to rebel?

After asking, she didn't even wait for the two to refute, and pointed at Jiang Xue and said, "Come here, lock the Princess Gong in the room, and don't let her move around without my order. I will wait for the emperor and Prince Gong to come back before deciding how to deal with this matter. As for these two girls, they can't keep an eye on their master, so there's no point in keeping them alive, so give them death."

She knew that Jiang Xue's two girls were very skilled. She had finally caught them, so how could she let them go?

Of course I have to break her wings first, and then torture this bitch slowly.

Anyway, there is still some time before the emperor and his men come back, so she has plenty of time to think about how to make that bitch Jiang Xue suffer a fate worse than death.

"Yes, your majesty." The servants who received the order stood up, picked up the long whips on the ground and walked towards Xiaochun Fudong again.

Seeing that the Queen was acting arbitrarily and the lives of the two maids were hanging by a thread, Lu Linyi and Xiao Gui were extremely anxious and shouted to stop, but no one paid any attention.

"Hanshi Powder." Jiang Xue stared at the queen with cold eyes and said these three words slowly. The queen's face turned pale and she quickly called the servants around her to stop: "Don't move."

"What did you just say?" The queen narrowed her eyes and approached Jiang Xue step by step. She lowered her voice and said threateningly, "Princess Gong, please be careful with your words."

"What Changle said is clear to the Empress. This Hanshi powder has been the seasoning that the Empress has personally ordered the Shangshenfang to provide to all the empresses over the years, right?"

Since the birth of the eleventh princess, there has been no new addition to the Beiling harem for nine years. During these nine years, the Shangshenfang has been following the Queen's orders. Just thinking about the tricks involved is enough to make one's back cold.

It was when she was taking care of Jiang Chongyi that she discovered traces of Hanshi Powder in her diet.

This Hanshi Powder is not something that can be easily obtained. Even in the aristocratic circle of Beiling, few people can get this treasure.

Only a wealthy family like the Su family could get it.

Prime Minister Su Ming has a wide network of contacts, not only in Beiling, but also in Xiyong, Beixi, and even Dongyang, the farthest from Beiling.

If he wanted the Hanshi Powder, it would only take a word for it.

"How do you know about Hanshi Powder?"

The queen lowered her voice to a minimum, making sure only the two of them could hear her, and glanced warily at the servants around her to make sure they were all far away.
