C126 Another 'sinner

"Imperial Concubine, tell me, if the Emperor knew that you attempted to murder Princess Chu, what crime would he place on you?" Mu Ruqing stared at Mu Ruxuan and walked towards her, looking down at the kneeling Mu Ruxuan.

"What evidence do you have?" Mu Ru looked up and saw that she was not willing to be outdone.

"Is there not enough evidence?" Yuchuan dragged the poisoned chair over and threw it in front of Mu Ruxuan. Consort Long looked at the chair and raised her eyebrows.

Mu Ruxuan was not afraid of Consort Long and was afraid of the Empress. This matter was already related to the Empress, "Your Ladyship, the palace maid is already dead. The one who poisoned her and the one who harmed her is also her. I really do not know about the poison that she used."

"Perhaps this palace maid's original Mistress knows about it. Perhaps she will report it to the Emperor and find out immediately." Consort Long did not let her go. Either you plead guilty or let the Empress admit it and as she speaks, she will walk out!

"Your Ladyship!" Mu Ruxuan saw that she spared her and shouted, "I..."

"Your Ladyship, I remember that bowl of Red Plum Lotus Soup..." Mu Ruqing pretended to think. It seemed like she did not mean it, but she had other intentions. Since her target was me, then that cup of soup must have been tampered with.

Mu Ruxuan suddenly panicked and half her body was up as she sobbed, "Your Ladyship, it was I who instructed..."

"What did Imperial Concubine say?" Consort Long stopped her steps and half turned her body, her voice was heavy. "We still need to investigate this matter. Maybe Imperial Concubine has an ingrate by her side. It was also unknown. If one day he harmed Imperial Concubine, he would also not know, so he must investigate clearly. He had to investigate that cup of soup properly, or else who would be poisoned to death. That would be a crime."

"Auntie, lead the way. Let's go and take a look at that cup of soup." Mu Ruqing did not give Mu Ruxuan any more chances. She took a step forward and supported Consort Long by the side. The two of them looked at each other and let aunt lead the way and went to the Profound Ming Hall together.

Mu Ruxuan hurriedly got up and her heart sank. Her fingers tightly made up her sleeves and gritted her teeth as she followed to the Profound Ming Hall.

Inside the Profound Ming Hall, singing and dancing were rising and rising, the lights were brilliant and it was a peaceful scene.

The Empress Dowager was old and the banquet only started for an hour before she used the excuse to get Yu Longyun to support her back to the Yi De Hall.

Consort Long and Mu Ruqing brought along their aunt, Imperial Physician and the palace maids that were arranged. They were all witnesses and the evidence naturally could not be lacking. The chair was also brought up by Yuchuan.

The Emperor leaned on the dragon throne and his right hand gently tapped the dragon's head along with the rhythm of the music as his left hand casually placed it.

The first one to see Consort Long and the rest was Yu Longchen. He moved but was still patient. With Consort Long around, Mu Ruqing naturally would not be at a disadvantage.

When Yu Longzi saw it, Mu Ruxuan also entered the palace gate in a trance. It seemed that something had happened, stupid woman! But in her heart, she could not stop thinking about what it was.

The palace maid who was dancing seemed to have noticed something and slowly stopped her dancing. The Emperor sat upright and looked at Consort Long. His tone was slightly dissatisfied but he did not say anything.

Consort Long and Mu Ruqing knelt down first, "This servant greets the Emperor, Empress."

"What is it?" The voice was slightly aged and the Emperor had a tired look but his eyes revealed shrewdness.

"I beg the Emperor to help me!" How could he let Consort Long speak about his own matter? Tears had already fallen out of her eyes, and she had a lovely appearance. It made Yu Longchen's heart tighten. What kind of grievance had he suffered? His fierce gaze swept over Mu Ruxuan.

Yu Longzi's desire for Mu Ruqing surged into his heart. He looked at her with an anxious gaze. Mu Ruxuan saw it clearly with this glance. She clenched her teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.

"My personal maid, Mei, was killed in the side hall. She was poisoned to death by Concubine Eldest Prince's personal palace maid!" Mu Ruqing cried so much that it made Yu Longchen's heart ache. Seeing Mu Ruxuan getting more and more uncomfortable, he wished he could understand her immediately. He wanted to make Mu Ruqing happy.
