System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

Ximei was pulled into the hall like a piece of rag. She had lost all her eloquence and was still immersed in the intense fear she had just experienced. It turned out that the true God was really watching!

Puchang walked to her side and placed his hand on her head: "This time, the True Lord has given me the responsibility of supervising this case. If you do not repent and deceive the True Lord, lightning will strike you directly from my hand. Do you understand?"

Then he placed the sincerity ball on her head.

Yinshandu was originally afraid that it would be a bit troublesome to go directly to the sincerity ball. After all, a person who did not defend himself might have a change of heart or was afraid of the imperial power and was timid. But so many people suddenly confessing would probably arouse suspicion.

If Xiao Xianzi had not sworn to the sky in desperation, and if he had not thought of asking the sky, the situation would have been really tricky.

Everything happened naturally, just like a script.

He glanced at Xu Zhoujiao beside him, thinking that this little sister might really have the ability to save the common people.

"Ximei, do you know your mistake?"

"I know I was wrong. I will never speak nonsense again. Please understand, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Who instructed you to slander the imperial concubine for having an affair?"

"No one, it was because I was jealous. I didn't want to leave the palace, and I was afraid of being alone, so I fell in love with Xiao Xianzi, but he would rather enter the palace than be with me. In a rage, I spread rumors and slandered him for having an affair with the queen."

Xu Zhoujiao was so angry when she heard her shameless behavior that she leaned back. Her chest heaved violently, her eyes were full of anger, her teeth were grinding, and she pointed her fingers angrily at the bitch.

Yinshan Du was afraid of making her angry, so he kept squeezing the little red ball to comfort her.

Ximei, who was standing below, had no idea what was happening and continued to confess her crimes: "I have been dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine for a long time. Moreover, I was caught by the master for stealing the jade pendant of Xiao Xiazi. The Imperial Concubine had me dragged down and beaten with fifty boards and expelled from Changle Palace. Before I was done with the beating, the head maidservant beside the Empress came. She took me away to apply medicine and told me not to cause trouble!"

"So you have known Mei Yan from the Queen's Palace for a long time?"

"I met her when I was just assigned to Changle Palace. I ran into her one time when I went to collect the palace's salary. She said we were from the same hometown and both of us had the character mei in our names. We should take care of each other in the future. She was the head maid of the queen and had great connections. I thought I would not suffer any loss by making friends with her. Besides, she was very generous. She gave me a pearl hairpin when we first met. I was very happy and we became friends for a long time."

"She said that the Imperial Concubine was a concubine but she didn't fulfill her duties as a concubine. The Queen Mother's rewards should have been given to the Queen first, but every time, the Imperial Concubine was better in terms of quantity and craftsmanship, so she should be taught a lesson. I often left my job and sneaked off to chat and play with her. When things got serious, the Imperial Concubine wanted to send me back to the Palace Maids' Office several times, and it was she who asked the Queen to help me out. Once, I was caught wearing the Imperial Concubine's bracelet, but she didn't scold me. She said that the Queen treated them kindly and often rewarded Fengqi Palace with many things. She also told them that people are equal, and there is no difference between me and the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine wears it, I can wear it too."

Speaking of this, what else do the ministers not understand? It is nothing more than that the Queen has been dazzled by the endless rewards from the Imperial Concubine. Although the Queen has won the favor of His Majesty alone, the national treasury has always been in the hands of the Empress Dowager. When the late Emperor ascended the throne, the national treasury was empty, and it was the Empress Dowager who supported the country with the money she saved from her business, and she never slacked off even though she was the Empress Dowager.

In other words, although His Majesty favors the Queen, he has no money, and although the Imperial Concubine is not favored, she lives a good life.

Besides, the queen often boasted of her virtues, so she dared not speak out. She was obviously extremely jealous, but she had to show tolerance and sensibility, and secretly encouraged the palace maid to trip her up.

Master Hu could no longer sit still: "Your Majesty, this lowly maid first attacked the Imperial Concubine for no reason, and then slandered the Queen. This is truly a heinous crime, and she should be..."

Before Master Hu could finish, Pu Tong shouted, "Master, be careful with your words!"

Master Hu was stunned on the spot. The threat from Master Erlang had not yet subsided, and he really could not say anything. The current situation was obviously unfavorable to Chang Qing.

His body was shaking, his anger was suppressed, and he stared at Ximei with blazing eyes, hoping that she would shut up.

Ximei is now controlled by the ball of sincerity and can't hide anything. Everyone thinks that she confessed the truth because she was afraid of the wrath of the true God. Ximei's confession now is more convincing than any evidence.

"Then were you also instructed by Mei Yan to expose the imperial concubine?"

"Yes, she said that the guards would search the imperial concubine's palace for poison, and asked me to hide the poison in an obvious place, and then expose the imperial concubine later. She will do her best to ensure that I am safe."

"So you got the poison from Mei Yan?"

"No, it was in the hands of Gong Changxi, the imperial physician's nurse. Mei Yan said someone would bring me medicine and asked San Geng to wait at the corner."

"Order the imperial physician to bring all the medical records of Fengqi Palace to the palace."

In less than a cup of tea, the imperial physician entered the palace with all the records.

"Ximei, do you still remember the exact time?" Yinshan Du asked while flipping through the books.

"I remember it was July 12th, because that was the day I entered the palace. I remember it clearly."

"Oh, it's true! On July 12, the Queen caught a cold and felt unwell. The doctor who came to see her was not the imperial physician, but Gong Changxi. Gong Changxi entered the palace at the first watch and left at the fourth watch."

"Gong Changxi, please explain to everyone why it is you who is treating the patient instead of the imperial physician."

Yinshan Du threw the book with the words "Visit to the doctor" in his hand at Gong Changxi.

Gong Changxi was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his whole body drenched in cold sweat, his hands and feet cold, and he was at a loss as to what to do.

Tong walked straight to her side and put his hands on her head, and said solemnly: "Go ahead."

Gong Changxi was originally thinking about trying to excuse himself, but he was completely controlled by the sincerity ball, and the truth came out of his mouth.

"I was coerced. I was in love with the guard commander Madley, but because his wife was a domineering person, I could not get married. So, they often met in private, taking advantage of their position. Once, Mei Yan, the chief maid of Fengqi Palace, saw me. She threatened me to do something for her, otherwise she would report us. That day, she took me away on the pretext that the queen had a cold. Because she was a favorite of the queen, the Imperial Hospital did not think it was wrong, so they let me go."

"Where did she take you afterwards? What did she do?"

"She did take me to see the Empress, but the Empress was healthy and nothing serious happened. She asked me to write on the pulse record that the Empress had caught a cold recently, and made up a case. Then she locked me up in a side hall. She didn't let me out until almost three o'clock in the morning, and asked me to go to the corner of Changle Palace and give a packet of medicine to Ximei. Afterwards, I found out that it was poison. I was afraid of being implicated, so I took leave and hid for a few days. I didn't dare to show up until the Imperial Concubine was serving her sentence."

"You mean Mei Yan gave you the medicine? You don't know the truth?"

"Your Majesty, how dare I harm the Queen? Your Majesty, please understand. The Taoist priest, please understand. This medicine was handed to me by Mei Yan. I have never opened it. Everything I say is true! I have never lied!"

"Nonsense, absolute nonsense! Chang Qing treated Mei Yan very well, how could he poison her? You must have deliberately made it up to get away with it!"

The corners of Master Hu's mouth drooped and his brows were furrowed, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Your Majesty is watching over me, how dare I speak nonsense?"

Gong Changxi met Master Hu's angry eyes directly. She was originally just secretly meeting with her lover, but she was dragged into such a disaster. She just sent a packet of unknown medicine, but she was doomed to eternal damnation.

"Your Majesty, she is telling the truth!"

With the general conclusion, even if Master Hu had the intention, he would have nowhere to put it.

"Since you don't know about the medicine, then do you know about the palace search?"

"That has nothing to do with this servant. It was Madre who contacted Mei Yan privately."
