Perhaps Queen Wei was deliberately imitating Concubine Xue.

Chu Huanyan lowered her eyes to look at him.

This idea came to her suddenly, but when she looked at Concubine Xue and Empress Wei, she felt that there was something genuine and imitative about them.

Without the previous coldness and alienation, when Concubine Xue looked at Emperor Xiao just now, her expression was gentle and there was no trace of femininity or artificiality in her expression.

In contrast, Queen Wei's previous gentleness was revealed to be deliberate.

"Miss Chu, what happened just now?" Concubine Xue's sudden voice interrupted Chu Huanyan's thoughts.

The latter raised his head and reported what happened before in a leisurely manner.

"Perhaps she just fled into Fengyi Palace in a panic. However, the empress has a noble status, and the leader of the guards really did not dare to rush in and search, so..." Chu Huanyan paused and glanced at Empress Wei before continuing. He said, "We are here just to rule out the Queen's suspicion. We do not intend to doubt the Queen. I hope that the Queen can forgive me for what I have offended."

"Ms. Chu's words are serious. I also want to find out the murderer, not only for my innocence, but also for the safety of my sister. Since you are here, you can investigate if you want. Everyone in Fengyi Palace will cooperate well. ." Queen Wei spoke calmly, completely subduing her previous anger and dissatisfaction.

"Then thank you sister first." Concubine Xue smiled lightly and thanked her.

The tone is like a soft breeze and a clear spring, which is soothing.

Like the spring breeze when the ice and snow melted, it inadvertently blew away the gentleness of Queen Wei.

All the eunuchs in Fengyi Palace were called over, but after inspection, no one had any injuries on their legs.

Of course, this alone does not prove that this matter has nothing to do with Queen Wei. After all, those who escaped into Fengyi Palace may not necessarily be from Fengyi Palace.

"The Queen has said that Miss Chu can freely enter and leave Fengyi Hall for the past two days to investigate this matter."

In the back garden of Fengyi Hall, Tao Yao looked at Chu Huanyan and said, "Blessed."

"It's just that the investigation is an investigation. I still hope that Miss Chu can be careful in her words and deeds. This is the middle palace after all."

"Aunt Taoyao, don't worry, I understand." Chu Huanyan nodded in agreement.

Tao Yao glanced at her, "If Miss Chu has nothing else to do, then this slave will..."

"Wait a moment." Chu Huanyan stopped Taoyao and gestured to the stone table next to her, "Aunt Taoyao, please sit down. I would like to ask you something about the relationship between the Queen and Concubine Xue."

Tao Yao glanced at the stone table and bench, but did not sit down, "If you have anything to do with Miss Chu, just ask me. Since your Majesty has already given the order, I will cooperate with you."

"Okay." Chu Huanyan nodded, "May I ask my aunt, has the Queen ever been dissatisfied with Concubine Xue being favored?"

Tao Yao frowned. She wasn't surprised that the other party wanted to ask questions, but she didn't expect him to be so direct.

"Miss Chu, the Queen is the lord of the middle palace. No matter how favored others are, they can never compare to the status of the Queen. What's more, the favored person is still the Queen's biological sister. This is a great thing for the Wei family. , how can there be any talk of jealousy?"

"It's a great thing for the Wei family, but it may not be good for the Queen. After all, even her biological sister may not threaten the Queen's status." Chu Huanyan smiled, but the words she spoke were sharp.

Tao Yao looked at the person in front of her, and the word "unbridled" almost stopped on her lips, but she still didn't say it when meeting Chu Huanyan's gaze.

"Miss Chu, although you were born in the Marquis Mansion and were ordered by the Emperor to investigate this matter, you should still be cautious in your words and deeds in this Fengyi Palace, especially... don't make rash assumptions or throw dirty water on the Empress! "

After saying these words, Taoyao left with a sullen face.

Chu Huanyan stood there and smiled softly.

"Miss, Aunt Taoyao is afraid that she will tell the Queen your words soon." Xian Yue walked to Chu Huanyan and frowned slightly.

"Isn't that just right?" Chu Huanyan looked sideways and smiled at Crescent Moon, "Sometimes, the water has to be muddied so that the sediment can float up."

Now that I have found out about Fengyidian, my relationship with Empress Wei has been forged. Instead of continuing to spend the time tepidly, it is better to stir up the other party's anger first.

Moreover, how to provide Empress Wei with some clues to guess, otherwise it will always be a pool of stagnant water, and how can it be possible to involve some things.

……

"Did she really say that?"

In the bedroom, Queen Wei held the tea cup and looked at Taoyao opposite her with a gloomy look.

Seeing the latter nodding, Queen Wei was furious and dropped the tea cup heavily on the table beside her, spilling most of the tea.

"Empress, be careful not to burn yourself!" Tao Yao stepped forward quickly.

"How presumptuous!" Queen Wei frowned, "She actually dared to say such things. Could it be that she really thought that if the emperor asked her to be responsible for investigating this matter, she could be lawless and not put this palace under..."

Before she finished speaking, Queen Wei suddenly paused again.

Something is wrong!

Chu Huanyan looked at it and saw that he was not so reckless and arrogant. Even if he really thought so in his heart, he might not say it out loud, and it was still in front of Taoyao.

How could she not know that Taoyao would tell her these words, unless she was telling her specifically.

But he openly broke up with himself...

"Taoyao, do you think Chu Huanyan found something?"

Tao Yao was putting away her tea cup and looked at Empress Wei nervously.

"Empress, it's probably not possible. After all, what happened this time..." Taoyao paused, lowered her voice and said, "Empress, Youlan is already dead, and there is no evidence of death."

Although Youlan secretly obeyed the empress's orders, she acted very carefully in the past two years. In addition, their contact with Youlan was also extremely careful. Apart from herself and the empress, almost no one in the palace knew about it. It was impossible. What can I find out?

"I am afraid that even if there is no evidence, some people will create some evidence out of thin air in order to investigate the case." Empress Wei's expression was deep, revealing the calculations and planning of living in the palace for many years.

"Empress, you mean..."

"What are the scratches on the wall, and who is the person who destroyed the scratches?"

"This... this slave doesn't know." Taoyao shook her head.

This thing is really strange, after all, the empress did not send anyone there.

Queen Wei sneered, "I couldn't figure it out before, but now that I think about it, if someone doubts me and can't find any evidence, there must be some reason!"

Tao Yao was stunned and said, "Empress, you mean that the eunuch is..."

"Send someone to find out what Chu Huanyan wants to do." Queen Wei interrupted Taoyao coldly.

She didn't believe that Chu Huanyan's purpose was really to find out the matter even though she had already been cleared of suspicion.
