Chapter 188 The Nong Empress 17
"When I saw her that day, I swore to kill her. I had no choice but to do so... Madam, please forgive me!"

"Ju Xiang accepts your great kindness, and there is nothing I can repay you. I just hope that I will not burden the empress. I will kill myself!" After saying that, Ju Xiang picked up the hairpin and was about to commit suicide.

With a sound of "嗖", when no one saw it, a small stone hit her wrist, Ju Xiang knelt down on the ground, and the hairpin fell off.

"Put her down." Liu Jue ordered, his eyes glanced over Lian Cheng, he knew it was Lian Cheng's hand.Lian Cheng was the only one who could make everyone invisible so quickly.

Lian Cheng wanted to protect her.

Liu Jue raised his hand, signaling the people around him to go down.Discussions from the surrounding ministers ensued: "Your Majesty is trying to forgive Concubine Yan?"

"Not a word of reproach."

"She arranged the show, and the person who made the mistake was also from her palace. Why didn't you say a word?"

"Your Majesty is spoiling people..." the courtiers below discussed one after another.

This time, Lian Cheng's reputation was ruined.Those courtiers were in the former dynasty, and they didn't have much contact with the women in the harem, but they were all very concerned about the emperor's harem.

With their obstruction, it might not be easy to establish Lian Cheng as queen.

Lian Cheng didn't look at Liu Jue, but thought that what happened today was weird, and he had to ask about it tonight.

As soon as it got dark at night, Lian Cheng guessed that it was time for the guards to change their shift.She wanted to see Ju Xiang before the charges were settled.Ju Xiang is a good boy, Lian Cheng knows this very well.Maybe she can ask if there is any difficulty.

But just as she packed up and was ready to go out, Liu Jue arrived.

As soon as Liu Jue stepped into the palace door, seeing Lian Cheng's attire, his head grew bigger: "What do you want to do?"

"Do you want to go to the prison to see your little maid?"

Lian Cheng nodded: "What happened today was too sudden. I have to go and ask her personally."

"Don't go." Liu Jue got angry when he saw her like this: "Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you now? If you go and let others see it, your relationship with her will be confirmed. If someone wants to frame you, it will be too easy."

Lian Cheng said: "I should be careful not to let them see it."

"No." Liu Jue rebuffed straight away: "If you have anything to say, I'll ask someone to bring it to you."

Lian Cheng shut up.Nothing was said.

When Liu Jue saw her, he knew that her heart was not dead: "Did you hear that? You are not allowed to go! I will ask someone to bring you a message."

Lian Cheng was silent because she was thinking.What happened today seemed quite normal, but Lian Cheng still felt something was wrong.Liu Jue's consideration is also reasonable, but Ju Xiang is the closest court lady by her side...

"What are you going to do to her?" Lian Cheng asked.

"If you can get something out of it, then get it out, if you can't get it out..." Liu Jue glanced at Lian Cheng, seeming to care about her feelings: "Then kill."

Although it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives.In modern times, poisoning and killing people at will is also a capital crime.But Lian Cheng still has another guess that hasn't been confirmed yet.

It is true that Ju Xiang has a relationship with that dancer, but what if... Ju Xiang was used by someone?

Even Cheng's low EQ is not really stupid. When she calms down and thinks carefully, some clues that she had ignored will emerge one by one.

If it weren't for this kind of calmness and in-depth orderliness, even Cheng would not be able to find abnormal people in every world.

Relying on this habit, Lian Cheng couldn't promise Liu never to see Ju Xiang.

If Juxiang was being used by someone, she would have to find the mastermind for her anyway, and she couldn't let them go.

But why not let Liu Jue send someone...

Lian Cheng couldn't believe Liu Jue.

Maybe he can get some clues from Juxiang, but.In all likelihood, he would not tell Lian Cheng.Because Liu never wanted her to participate in this.

But if Lian Cheng didn't participate, it was impossible to know whether Liu Jue had avenged Ju Xiang or not.

It is very likely that he took into account some of the forces behind it, and chose to calm down, as if nothing had happened.

If Lian Cheng couldn't think of this aspect, she might let Liu Jue do it for her.But she thought about it.

Kill for life.She couldn't protect Ju Xiang's death, but at least she wanted to know who was responsible.She also wanted to know...perhaps, who wanted to harm her.

Seeing that Lian Cheng didn't say a word, Liu Jue was very angry, and called the people around: "Take care of your mother."

"She can't live without someone by her side. If she disappears in a while, let me ask you!"

Those palace people obediently agreed.Without Ju Xiang, no one would dare to contradict Liu Jue.

Of course, this is nothing to Lian Cheng.With an easy shot, she can knock down all the people in ambush inside and outside the palace.

In the evening, Lian Cheng went out as usual, heading for the place where Ju Xiang was detained.

There are many people watching around, overtly and covertly.Lian Cheng could feel it from hundreds of meters away.She was not in a hurry, and knocked those people unconscious one by one before ducking into the cell door.

Lian Cheng searched for a long time in the prison before finding Ju Xiang's place of detention.

After all, Ju Xiang was just a little girl, after such a big event, she was specially taken care of and not allowed to commit suicide, her hands and feet were bound and her mouth was gagged, and she was left in one place, she looked very pitiful.

Lian Cheng hadn't gone through such an ordeal before, so she couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

If she was in prison, she would probably look like this.

Lian Cheng unscrewed the cell door with his hands, took off the hood under Ju Xiang's terrified expression, untied the gag cloth for Ju Xiang, and then stared at her: "...do you have anything to say?"

Juxiang's tears came down at once.

She choked up and said: "Ju Xiang has nothing to argue with. When I saw that person today, all the old hatred came to my heart. I have already predicted the end I will have today, I just hope that I will not drag the empress down."

"I beg your mother to kill Ju Xiang here!"

Lian Cheng looked at her for a while, and finally sighed: "If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were here to harm me."

"How to say?" Ju Xiang was shocked.

Lian Cheng shook his head helplessly: "You said that to everyone today, let alone whether it will make others suspect that you have a motive to distance yourself from me. Those words are too... straightforward."

Lian Cheng has no face to talk about others, after all, she might say that in a panic.

That's something only fools like them can understand.But before Liu Jue left, he told her a lot about this way, and Lian Cheng was gradually able to figure out his own train of thought.

"Don't say that you died without evidence. How others use your death is their business. Even now...you are in jail, what will you say under severe punishment tomorrow..." Lian Cheng wanted to say that it was not surprising. , she herself may not be able to withstand severe torture, so she probably can say what she wants.

"No! No! Juxiang is a great favor to my empress, and I will never trap my empress into injustice!" Juxiang cried and said, Lian Cheng took the shackles from her body and asked her to move her wrists, and she "thumped" Kneeling down on the ground, she crawled towards Lian Cheng and grabbed the corner of Lian Cheng's clothes.

"But revenge for killing my father, I have to avenge it! Ju Xiang knows that she has hurt the empress, and she only asks for repayment in the next life!" Ju Xiang said, flying towards the wall on one side.

Lian Cheng made a timely move to stop her.

Ju Xiang was sobbing, not knowing what to do.
