Adore Trick of Beauty

Nie Wushuang ordered someone to hold the roster aside, and the maids whose names were read out filed in one after another. If there were any maids who were hesitant or wanted to hide something, they would be dragged aside and punished with sticks. Not long after, a palace maid got into trouble and was pinned to the ground and beaten for thirty years because she couldn't explain her whereabouts in the past few days. Grandma Wang listened to the screams of the palace maid. Although she had been in the palace for a long time, she had seen a lot of storms, but she had never seen such a majestic and wanton torture of the palace people in the queen's palace. Seeing the calm expression on Nie Wushuang's beautiful face, she couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Isn't the Concubine Xian afraid of disturbing the Queen?"

Nie Wushuang watched the palace servants below beating the palace maid until she was covered in blood and dragging her down. Then he took a handkerchief and gently wiped the powder on the side of his nose. He said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Now that the empress is in danger, we should catch her as soon as possible." The real murderer can only be rescued by the Queen. Doesn’t Grandma Wang feel sorry for these slaves who are unwilling to tell the truth? "

Grandma Wang quickly said: "No, no..."

"It's okay if it's not. If Aunt Wang is distressed, I have to ask Aunt Wang to be patient. After all, if the investigation can't find out the reason, not only will my visit be in vain, but I will also get a bad name. I'm afraid the Queen will also escape. But this calamity. Grandma Wang is a smart person and she should know the principle of the tree falling and the hozen scattering." Nie Wushuang said numbly.

Grandma Wang was shocked and quickly fell silent. She was really confused. If the queen had her shortcomings, would she still be alive? I'm afraid her fate will be even more miserable than that of these ordinary palace maids. Her own life is still in danger, can she still show mercy to others?

Nie Wushuang asked them carefully one by one, from early in the morning until after lunch, only eating something in the middle, and then continued the interrogation. Each palace maid was questioned over and over again. Nie Wushuang asked the question again in reverse order. She took the trouble to make sure that this person had nothing to hide, and then let her go. If there is even a few words to hide, there is no room for explanation. The instruments of torture are added to the body, and the entire side hall is filled with blood, making the person feel like vomiting.

Nie Wushuang looked at the names on the roster being crossed out one by one, and couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart. If she couldn't ask anything today, she wouldn't be able to ask all the questions tomorrow when the palace people were on guard.

After asking the maid serving in the palace, she cheered up a little. Whether the queen was poisoned, these people are the most suspicious.

Nie Wushuang thought for a while and ordered the female officers serving the queen to be summoned, including the female officers serving the queen, as well as the Master Attendant for Ceremony, the Master for Dining, the Master for Sleeping, and the Master for Decoration. Everything was done in detail, and all the royal belongings they used to serve the queen were taken out for inspection.

There are rows of exquisite utensils, and there is nothing wrong with them. Nie Wushuang looked at each one. Grandma Wang stepped forward and said, "My dear concubine, these have been checked and there is nothing wrong with them."

Nie Wushuang put down the things in her hands and frowned. Of course she knew that these queens must have ordered people to check carefully, but if it weren't for these people, where did the poison come from? Her sharp eyebrows swept across the faces of the palace maids below, and suddenly, she fixed her gaze on a smaller palace maid.

"You, get out of the queue." Nie Wushuang said coldly with a cold light in his beautiful eyes.

The palace maid came forward in a conciliatory manner: "Slave...servant, please see the Concubine Xian."

Nie Wushuang turned around and asked Grandma Wang: "Are you serving the Queen or something?"

"As for Concubine Xian, she helps the Queen comb her hair. She is very well-behaved and the Queen likes her very much." Grandma Wang replied.

Nie Wushuang said "Oh——?" in a high tone, looked at the palace maid with a half-smile, and walked slowly to her side. The palace maid felt a cold fragrance coming towards her and couldn't help but look up. When she raised her head, she couldn't help but shrink when she met Nie Wushuang's cold and charming eyes. She quickly knelt down and said, "My dear concubine, I don't have any slaves! I really don't have any slaves!"

Nie Wushuang helped her up and said with a half-smile, "What don't you have?"

"My servant did not harm the Queen..." The palace maid was so frightened that tears rolled down her eyes, and she had a sad expression on her palm-sized face.

"The Concubine Xian... she... can't do it." Grandma Wang hesitated: "She was brought into the palace by the queen from her mother's family. Of course there is no danger of loyalty."

Nie Wushuang glanced at her and his face turned cold: "Everyone else, please step aside. I have something to say to her."

Seeing that she was angry, Grandma Wang did not dare to say a word and quickly led the palace attendants to retreat. Suddenly everyone in the hall retreated, and the whole hall was silent. The palace maid knelt on the ground, sobbing.

Nie Wushuang waited patiently for her to finish crying. When she was tired of crying, she finally said, "What's your name?"

"My slave... my name is Tong Xialian." The palace maid replied.

"Tong Xialian? What is your relationship with the Queen's mother clan?" Nie Wushuang asked.

"This slave's mother is the wife in charge of the queen's natal family." Seeing that Nie Wushuang was just asking ordinary questions, Tong Xialian seemed a little bolder and began to answer questions fluently.

"Oh -" Nie Wushuang smiled knowingly. She shook the fan in her hand and smiled casually: "So, you are the son of the queen's mother-in-law?"

"Yes." Tong Xialian quickly replied: "How dare I harm the Queen? The Concubine Xian knows it well!"

Nie Wushuang smiled faintly: "I can't say for sure." She stared at her face coldly and suddenly shouted: "You still don't recruit from the truth! What did you hide when I met the queen last time? In the sleeve?"

Tong Xialian was shocked, and when she came to her senses, she cried: "It's unfair, Concubine Xian, I just saw that the Queen's hair was falling out so badly, and was afraid of the Queen's punishment, so I hid the Queen's hair." In the sleeves. Servant...servant..."

Nie Wushuang sneered: "But I look at your gestures

But you are very skilled. The Queen had only been ill for a few days at that time, and you had such thoughts? Didn't you deliberately cover up the Queen's illness from the beginning? "

"Servant... slave... slave, you must not dare! Concubine Xian..." Tong Xialian's face was full of horror, and she couldn't speak clearly.

"You won't confess without severe punishment! Come here!" Nie Wushuang shouted: "Hit her hard! Beat her until she speaks the truth!"
