The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

But Xie Yuxiu didn't have much time to spare, so he directly sent someone to find the palace maid.

After a while, a palace servant came in with a maid. The maid looked very flustered, and knelt on the ground as soon as she came in: "Slave, slave greets your majesty..." The maid saluted tremblingly.

"Since you are a palace maid sent by Concubine Jiang, how come Cheng Shi took a fancy to you?" Su Zhaorong looked at the palace maid.

The palace maid lowered her head: "To answer my master, it was Concubine Yun... Concubine Yun..." She talked for a long time but couldn't explain it.

But at this moment, Yu Jinzhi saw the scar on the palm of her hand.

"Wait a minute!" Yu Jinzhi shouted quickly.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Yu Jinzhi asked again.

When the maid saw this, she subconsciously tried to hide her hand. Qingyu reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to turn the maid's hand over.

Two red marks suddenly appeared on the palm of her hand in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned. Thinking of the cause of Cheng's death, everyone's suspicious eyes were focused on her.

"How did you get the injury on your hand?" Su Zhaorong asked first.

The palace maid stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly, but her attitude clearly confirmed everyone's suspicions.

"In that case, why not search him?" Su Zhaorong continued.

Xie Yuxiu raised her hand slightly, and then someone came forward to search her body. The maid could not resist, and soon someone found something she shouldn't have on her.

In the lining of her clothes, a small object wrapped in cloth was found, and there was a little blood on the cloth.

The palace maiden looked terrified and tried to snatch it, but she was being held down and had no way to resist.

When the palace servants opened the thing, everyone gasped, because the strings of the zither were wrapped in the cloth, and there was still blood on it.

"It's you!" The palace maid who had been ordered to serve Cheng screamed instantly. She didn't seem to have expected such a change to happen.

The maid's eyes were filled with fear, but she kept muttering: "It's not me... This, this is not mine."

"The things were searched out of you and hidden in such a secluded place. And after the things were found, your first reaction was to grab them. Now you say they are not yours. Isn't that ridiculous?" Qingyu added.

The palace maid's eyes were wandering, and finally she looked at Concubine Jiang next to her.

Concubine Jiang was also frightened: "Why are you looking at me? Did I instigate you to murder Cheng? Tell me, who instructed you?!" Concubine Jiang planned to strike first.

After hearing this, the maid lowered her head: "It was...it was me."

But her attempt to cover up her lies obviously attracted more people's suspicion. Would anyone believe such an obvious lie?

"Since you said you did it yourself, why did you do it? Where did your murder weapon come from?" Su Zhaorong continued to ask.

"I...your servant..." The maid was obviously at a loss.

Suddenly, the maid rushed to Lady Jiang's feet and said, "Lady, please save me. I have been doing everything according to your wishes. You can't just ignore me like this!"

Is this a reversal?

Many people looked at Concubine Jiang with the mentality of watching a good show. Concubine Jiang was also startled, she raised her hand and slapped the palace maid in the face.

"Bitch, who gave you the courage to bring me up like that?" Concubine Jiang shouted angrily.

"Madam Jiang, you can't ignore me like this. I have been doing everything according to your instructions. If it weren't for you, how could I have the courage to do such a thing?" The palace maid cried heartbreakingly and it didn't look like she was acting.

Su Zhaorong looked at the palace maid on the ground: "You said that Concubine Jiang asked you to do it, then why did she let you kill the deposed Cheng?"

"Yes... Concubine Jiang was afraid that the previous plot to murder Princess Jiayu would be exposed. The last time the princess fell off the horse was arranged by Concubine Jiang... She deliberately asked the palace maid to pretend to be Concubine Yun's maid in front of the coachman, and later she deliberately killed the palace maid around Concubine Yun..." The palace maid was trembling on the ground, but the words she said shocked almost everyone present.

Even Xie Yuxiu looked over.

Lady Jiang wanted to rush over and tear her mouth several times, but was stopped.

"It's you..." Duke Cheng also looked over with indignation.

Lady Jiang shook her head and denied it again and again, but it was obvious that her words were not convincing at all.

"This zither string was also carried by Concubine Jiang. The jade beads in Concubine Jiang's makeup box were strung together with the zither string. Now, the scattered jade beads are still in the makeup box. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to check it out." The palace maid looked so confident that it was easy to be convinced.

Yu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yuxiu, and Xie Yuxiu had almost no hesitation and directly sent someone to check it out.

Soon, a palace maid came in with Lady Jiang's makeup box. Xie Yuxiu ordered someone to open it, and when the box was opened, the scattered jade beads came into view.

"Is what this palace maid said true?" The concubines nearby also started discussing.

Lady Jiang collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a word, because she had no way to defend herself.

"Your Majesty! My daughter is innocent! Please, Your Majesty, stand up for my daughter and clear her name, Your Majesty!" Duke Chengguo shouted.

Xie Yuxiu was getting annoyed by the noise. He shouldn't bother with such things.

"Come here, Concubine Jiang plotted to murder the princess and killed the concubines. From now on, her title of Concubine will be abolished and she will be awarded white silk. Cheng's title of concubine will be restored and she is not guilty. Okay, everyone leave." Xie Yuxiu gave the order immediately.

Lady Jiang screamed at the top of her lungs, but Xie Yuxiu remained unmoved. After everyone left, Yu Jinzhi was also about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Yuxiu.

"Zhizhizhi" Xie Yuxiu shouted.

Yu Jinzhi turned around and looked at Xie Yuxiu. She was not surprised that Xie Yuxiu called her.

"Your Majesty" Yu Jinzhi looked at him.

"Come here." Xie Yuxiu said.

Yu Jinzhi walked forward step by step, and when he arrived in front of Xie Yuxiu, he pulled him into his arms.

"Your Majesty..." Yu Jinzhi was startled, and the clothes she was wearing fell to the ground.

"Didn't someone tell you that you don't have to come if you don't want to? Why did you come anyway?" Xie Yuxiu asked.

"How could I not come when it's such a big thing? And it wasn't me who did it. Would it be because I'm guilty if I didn't come?" Yu Jinzhi asked back.

Xie Yuxiu was helpless, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just put his cloak on her.
