C226 empresss measure (2/2)

It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. When these words were said, everyone was stunned.

”What did you say?” The empress rose to her feet with a stunned look on her face, on the verge of collapse. ”Who has been to my storehouse?”

”This... In reply to the Empress, your storekeeper said … A few days ago, they met some thieves, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. ” Aunt Yu said awkwardly.

”How dare you!” You even dare to touch my things? Bring them to me! I have to ask them one by one! ” The Queen said angrily. To the side, the emperor frowned. ”Since the guqin was stolen, let the imperial guards investigate. It's the Crown Prince's consort selection banquet today. Why go all out?”

”Your Majesty, this guqin is a gift that chenqie is going to give to the crown prince's consort. If I lose it, wouldn't I be slapping chenqie, the crown prince, and your face?” I will definitely not forgive you! ” The empress's attitude was resolute, and although the emperor didn't look too pleased when he saw this, he still nodded.

Very quickly, these guards were pressured.

”Kneel!” Aunt Yu scolded. There were a total of four guards who came up. They knelt on the ground, ascended to the throne, and the Queen unhappily asked, ”I ask you, where is my guqin?”

”Empress, spare us, we don't know, we …” I only saw the silhouette of a woman that day, and then I lost consciousness. ” These people said.

”Nonsense!” The empress said in dissatisfaction, ”If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongues!”

”No, we don't.” One of them, a petite man said. As he said that, he looked in the direction of Mu Ru Yue. His eyes lit up as he pointed at her and said, ”Empress, that's the person! This servant did not see wrong! ”

As the thin and short guard spoke, the remaining three looked over as well. When they saw Mu Ru Yue, they also said, ”That's right! It's her! ”

When the crowd heard that, they looked at Mu Ru Yue with intrigued expressions.

”You still dare to spout nonsense? This is the Seventh Princess, how could she steal the Phoenix Tail Zither? ” The empress's voice was filled with rage. And at this moment, a gentle voice could be heard, ”Empress, previously the princess played the zither on the arena and won against Nalan Ruoxue from the Nalan Clan. If Miss Xue angrily rebuked her for cheating, it should be related to this, right?”

The one who spoke was Princess Die Xiang, who had been silent since the day she arrived.

When Princess Die Xiang said those words, the crowd looked at Mu Ru Yue with even more curiosity. There were even whispers. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she was so angry that she almost burst out laughing. These people had spared no effort in order to scam her.

The empress probably already knew that her own storehouse was empty, right? Mu Ru Yue guessed in her heart. At the same time, she was also glad that she got what she wanted. Otherwise, wouldn't she have died unjustly?

”Seventh Princess, do you have anything else to say?” After the Queen heard Princess Die Xiang's words, she glared furiously at Murong Yue.

”If you want to add to your crimes, then why bother doing so?” Mu Ru Yue looked at the empress with a smile that was not a smile and said calmly, ”When the Empress summoned me to the palace, she locked me in your courtyard to copy the Buddhist scriptures. Even the door is locked. As a weak girl, how can I get out? ”

”Weak girl? ”I don't think so. A woman who takes arsenic won't die. She's a weak woman.” The one who spoke was Princess Dian Xiang. She looked unkindly at Mu Ru Yue, her eyes filled with hatred.

You didn't die after eating arsenic?

When everyone looked at Mu Ru Yue, it was as though they had seen a monster. Even the emperor was shocked. His gaze towards Mu Ru Yue was filled with curiosity. At this moment, Mu Ru Yue finally understood what the empress wanted to do.

A woman who wouldn't die even if she ate arsenic... What would happen if this news got out? Compared to the rumors behind the scenes, it was much more direct and efficient. Furthermore, with this problem, the crime of her stealing would soon be settled.

After all, these people would only investigate if she wasn't the Seventh Princess anymore, wouldn't they? No wonder the empress hadn't picked a quarrel with him all day. No wonder the empress held such an unusual banquet. Were all her feelings waiting for her here?

As she thought about that, Mu Ru Yue looked at the crowd and her gaze turned cold.
