Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 92 What is the reason

The gate of the cold palace

Lin Junxue felt much better. Ever since she entered the cold palace, she had been smelling a foul, rotten smell at her nose, which was suffocating.

After this trip to the cold palace, she now has some insights in her heart.

The purpose of her trip to the cold palace was to see what kind of hell on earth this ancient cold palace was.

Even if she has to fight on thin ice in the harem all her life, she will never let herself end up in the cold palace.

Xiao Xia Zi glanced at Lin Junxue's expression, then bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, if you have no other plans, I will return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and report to Eunuch Xiao."

Lin Junxue nodded calmly

Qiao Xin stepped forward, took out a bag of golden melon seeds from her arms, and then put it in Xiao Xiazi's hand.

Xiao Xiazi hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your reward."

Xiao Xiazi looked at the golden melon seeds in his hand. The Queen Mother had always been generous. He now felt that following his master and joining the Queen Mother might not be a bad thing.

Lin Junxue said, "You have done a good job, this is what you deserve. Go back and tell Eunuch Xiao, and you will get what you wish for soon."

When Xiao Xiazi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly leaned over.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Lin Junxue waved her hand, and seeing this, Xiao Xiazi retreated.

At the cold entrance, only Lin Junxue and Qiao Xin, the master and servant, were left.

Qiao Xin looked back at the closed door of the cold palace and thought of what had just happened in the cold palace.

Qiao Xin whispered, "Madam, what you just said means that Shen Huachun..."

Qiao Xin didn't say the rest.

Lin Junxue raised her chin slightly and said calmly, "With Chen Xier's methods, she will definitely not let Shen Huachun survive tonight. There is no need for me to do anything."

Qiao Xin was shocked. Shen Huachun had already been sent to the cold palace, and Concubine Xi still didn't want to let her go?

Lin Junxue said softly, "Let's go back to Zhonghe Palace."

Qiao Xin quickly put her hand on it.

Zhonghe Palace

After taking a bath, Lin Junxue sat in front of the bronze mirror and put on makeup again.

Danzhen came in with a fruit plate and put it on the table.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent it over. It's fresh and includes lychees. Please try some later."

Lin Junxue nodded

"Well, these lychees are rare. Wait a minute, take out some and let everyone in the palace have a taste of them."

Lin Junxue was never stingy with rewards, and the daily treatment of the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhonghe Palace was far better than that of other palace servants.

Take lychees for example. In the whole palace, only the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhonghe Palace could taste this new thing.

Danzhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. The newly replaced palace maids and eunuchs in our palace are full of praise for you. Now the people in other palaces are envious of the people in Zhonghe Palace."

Lin Junxue smiled slightly

She didn't count on how sincere the people below her were. Didn't the palace maids and eunuchs come to the palace to seek money? If she gave enough, others would naturally give as much as they wanted, and it wouldn't be easy to bribe them.

Lin Junxue said, "Your favorite thing is lychees. I know that. Just save some for yourself and eat as much as you can."

Danzhen chuckled, and Guyu, who was putting makeup on Lin Junxue, also smiled.

"My queen, Sister Danzhen secretly gets up in the middle of the night to eat some candied fruit. She says she is hungry. If she continues like this, she will become a complete glutton. You won't be able to support Sister Danzhen anymore."

Danzhen stretched out her hands, put her hands on her waist, and looked fierce.

"Okay, Guyu, you actually dare to laugh at me. I didn't eat in the middle of the night. I have been relying on the queen all my life and will never leave the queen."

Guyu smiled and said, "Sister Danzhen, please spare my life."

Looking at the two of them talking and laughing, Lin Junxue's eyes showed a little more smile and she curled her lips.

She whispered, "Do you two want to go out and have a fight?"

Guyu quickly begged for mercy, "My queen, please stop, please stop. I can't beat Sister Danzhen. Can't I just admit defeat?"

Danzhen said cheerfully, "Then I'll punish you by making a bowl of plain noodles in the small kitchen."

At this time, Danzhen still didn't forget to eat. Guyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly agreed.

Lin Junxue thought of Guyu's Yangchun noodles and suddenly felt a little hungry.

She said, "Thank you for your hard work, Guyu. Please make me one bowl too."

Guyu quickly said, "Your Highness, it's not hard for me to prepare these two bowls of plain noodles. I'll go to the kitchen after I've put makeup on you."

As they were talking, Qiao Xin walked in from outside and looked at the three people who were talking and laughing.

"You two, are you making trouble here again?"

Guyu and Danzhen smiled. Qiaoxin walked to Lin Junxue with a serious expression. Then, she told her the news she had just heard.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sentenced Doctor Liu to death. The men in his family were exiled to the southwest, and the women became prostitutes. We have found out the reason. It was because Doctor Liu's son owed a large gambling debt and was unable to repay it. If he did not repay it on time, his hands and feet would be chopped off. In order to save his only son, Doctor Liu accepted Shen Huachun's bribe and cooperated with Shen Huachun to do such a bold thing."

After hearing what Qiao Xin said, Guyu and Danzhen also stopped smiling.

Lin Junxue paused and said calmly, "Your Majesty is quite quick."

Qiao Xin frowned and said, "The Emperor asked Gao Cheng to personally interrogate him. I heard that he used severe punishment. The man couldn't resist and confessed quickly."

There was no surprise on Lin Junxue's face, and she stood up.

"It goes without saying that Gao Cheng's methods are so powerful that Imperial Doctor Liu will never be able to withstand them. It's only a matter of time before he is defeated."

Qiao Xin said, "There is one thing that I still don't understand."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, walked to the couch and sat down, raised her eyes and said, "Tell me, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Guyu and Danzhen also came forward and quietly peeled lychees on the side.

Qiao Xin said lightly, "Your Majesty, Shen Huachun's fake pregnancy was exposed, but she was banished to the cold palace and had no chance of turning over. At this point, Shen Huachun had no intention of betraying Concubine Xi to the emperor. If you say that the two of them have any friendship, it doesn't make sense. But why would Shen Huachun be willing to sacrifice herself to protect Concubine Xi?"

Lin Junxue took the lychee handed to her by Danzhen, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Then, she wiped her hands and looked at Qiao Xin who was puzzled.

She said slowly, "It's not that Shen Huachun doesn't want to betray Chen Xier, but because she knows that after the incident, she can only rely on Chen Xier. She probably still counts on Chen Xier to save her from the cold palace. Taking a step back, even if Shen Huachun confesses Chen Xier in front of the emperor, do you think the emperor will believe it? The emperor won't believe it. I think Chen Xier must have removed herself from this matter when she set up this fake pregnancy. There is no evidence. Shen Huachun said that she was instructed by Chen Xier. It's just empty talk. Who would believe it?
