Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Xiao Ruge's plan was correct. The next day, when Nanny Zhang was stewing bird's nest for Ao Rong, she indeed discovered the difference.

"My lady, when I was stewing bird's nest just now, I clearly prepared a soup bowl, but Qiuju insisted on changing it for me! I remembered what the Second Miss said and said nothing."

As she spoke, Nanny Zhang pointed to the jade bowl containing the bird's nest.

The green jade bowl is filled with bird's nest, and the sweet aroma keeps emanating from it, making people salivate.

Xiao Ruge carefully examined the rim of the bowl, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.

"I was wondering why we couldn't find out how the murderer poisoned her. It turns out she smeared the poison on the bowl!"

Now that she had found the method of poisoning and knew who was responsible, Concubine Chun asked someone to call Qiu Ju in.

Qiu Ju and Xia He were both senior palace maids beside Concubine Chun, but because Xia He was more clever, Concubine Chun relied on her more.

But Qiu Ju is not bad either. Even if she cannot take care of the affairs in Concubine Chun's bedroom, she is in charge of all matters big and small in the courtyard.

Even the eunuch leader in Shangyun Palace would ask her for instructions if he had any matters. Concubine Chun had never thought that the spy in Shangyun Palace would be Qiu Ju.

At this time Qiu Ju didn't know that she had been exposed. She was still outside directing the little palace maids to move some delicate flowers and plants into the corridor.

I saw a dark cloud floating over from the south. The cloud looked dark and gloomy, and I guess it would rain heavily soon.

"Be careful, those flowers are the queen's favorite. Put them inside. Be careful not to get wet in the rain and the petals fall off. It won't look good."

"Yes."

The little palace maid agreed obediently, picked up the flowerpot and moved it inside.

"Qiuju, the queen is calling you."

Xia He came over to call her in person, and was very angry to see that she had done such a cruel thing but acted as if nothing had happened.

Because Xia He looked normal, Qiu Ju didn't notice anything. She just thought that Concubine Chun wanted to ask her something. She walked towards the main hall while talking to Xia He beside her.

"My lady, is there something you want to ask me?"

Xia He replied calmly, "Yes, I have something to ask you. Hurry up! It's not good to make the queen wait anxiously."

Qiuju nodded and lowered her eyes, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

He touched the thing in his arms and felt it was still there. Only then did he calm down and follow Xia He into the main hall.

Besides Xiao Ruge standing next to Concubine Chun, there were also two head maids that she brought from her natal home. Perhaps because of their age, both of them had serious faces, which made Qiuju's heart skip a beat.

She bowed to Concubine Chun politely, with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, did you ask me to come here? Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"There's nothing for you to do, but there are some things I want to clarify."

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Concubine Chun looked at Qiuju coldly.

"I wonder what the Queen wants to ask?"

Seeing Concubine Chun's expression and the commotion in the main hall, Qiu Ju had nothing to understand. She was just afraid that what she had done had been discovered.

But she still pretended to be calm, maintaining a smile on her face, looking ignorant.

Concubine Chun snorted coldly, "Don't you know what you did?"

"My lady, I don't know what I have done wrong, please show me what I have done wrong!"

Qiu Ju knelt there and kowtowed to Concubine Chun, still feeling a glimmer of hope in her heart.

What if it wasn’t that?

"Qiu Ju, it looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Concubine Chun glanced at Xia He, and Xia He immediately placed the jade bowl containing the bird's nest on the table.

As soon as she saw the jade bowl, Qiuju's face turned pale, but she still bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

"Qiu Ju, you and I have been master and servant for many years, and I didn't know you were so broad-minded!"

"What do you mean, Madam? I don't understand."

Seeing that she was playing dumb in front of her, Concubine Chun slammed the table in anger, "Bitch! How dare you secretly murder the heir to the throne? What crime should you be punished for?"

"It's unfair! Madam, I have followed you for many years, how could I do such a thing?"

Qiuju started to cry out for injustice, and Xiao Ruge beside her said coldly, "Qiuju, do you know what kind of poison is in this jade bowl?"

Qiu Ju naturally couldn't say that she knew, so she shook her head.

Xiao Ruge sneered. Perhaps it was because the dark clouds were getting lower and lower, and the light in the room became dimmer. From Qiuju's perspective, she actually felt that there was a hint of bloodthirstiness in Xiao Ruge's smile.

"It's the ghost incense. It's a chronic poison. Just take a small amount every day and the person will become tired and dazed within seven days. The poison will definitely take effect within ten days!"

"My lady, please don't listen to what Xiao Ruge said. I have never heard of ghost fragrance. Moreover, this kind of thing is so rare, how can I have it?"

Qiuju was anxious to defend herself, but she revealed her biggest flaw.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruge and Concubine Chun's eyes became even colder, especially Concubine Chun, who even had a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"How do you know this poison is rare? I just said it's a slow-acting poison, but I didn't say it's hard to get!"

Xiao Ruge stared at Qiu Ju with eagle-like eyes. When he saw her face turn pale and collapse to the ground, a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"Tell me, who gave you this poison? And who instructed you to poison and murder the Third Prince's wife and the little grandson?"

Xiao Ruge pressed the question aggressively, but Qiu Ju suddenly jumped up, pulled out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed towards Concubine Chun.

Xiao Ruge happened to be standing next to Concubine Chun. Seeing this, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Amidst exclamations, she kicked Qiu Ju in the chest and kicked her out.

Qiu Ju screamed and fell to the ground, unable to get up. Xiao Ruge snorted coldly, "You are so bold that you dared to assassinate the queen. Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"

But even when things had come to this, Qiu Ju still gritted her teeth and refused to give in. She just stared at Xiao Ruge and Concubine Chun with unwillingness.

Xiao Ruge walked over with a sullen face, pinched her chin open, and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

The medicine melted in her mouth and flowed down her throat. Qiuju was startled and started coughing and scratching her throat, but before she could touch the root of her tongue, she felt cramps in her stomach.

"Ah...you witch, what did you give me to eat? Ah..."

Qiuju rolled over on the ground in stomachache, her face becoming paler. She glared at Xiao Ruge fiercely, as if she wanted to glare two holes in her body.

"What I'm feeding you is a poisonous insect. It will eat all your internal organs within an hour, and during this time, your pain will be magnified countless times."

Xiao Ruge looked at Qiu Ju expressionlessly, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This is actually not its limit. Do you know what it will do next after eating a person's organs?"
