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

Chapter 250 Strange Poisoning

Gu Mo knelt on the ground excitedly. She no longer fought or competed and just wanted to live a peaceful life in the harem. Why would anyone want to harm her?

"Empress, please help me and find the person who harmed me. The imperial physician said that my face has been ruined. Even if the poison is removed, scars will remain. I don't ask for anything else now, but please find the person who harmed me. How vicious is this person?"

Gu Mo is now filled with despair

A concubine who was already unpopular in the harem and now has a disfigured face, has no hope in this life and her second half of life is over.

Lin Junxue looked at Gu Mo, who was disheartened and resentful.

She whispered, "Mrs. Mo, get up. I will give you an explanation. No matter who wants to harm you, I will find out and will not let them off easily."

Sun Manrou looked at Gu Mo with disdain, and when she spoke, she was very sarcastic.

"Mrs. Mo, who did you offend? That's why you were killed like this. Otherwise, who would be so cruel as to poison you and ruin your appearance? You should think about it carefully."

Gu Mo was so angry at Sun Manrou's words that tears immediately flowed down his face and his chest rose and fell violently.

"My Lady, since I entered the palace, I have been staying in my own palace, never showing off, and I have never had a conflict with anyone."

Sun Manrou was dissatisfied with Gu Mo's attitude and was about to scold her.

Lin Junxue glanced at Sun Manrou indifferently and said sternly, "Concubine Chen, that's enough. Concubine Mo has been poisoned. You shouldn't have said that just now. Leave."

Sun Manrou was stunned. She turned to look at Lin Junxue who was scolding her in public, her eyes widened in disbelief.

The queen actually scolded her for a mere disfavored noble?

She was a concubine, and the queen was going too far, but she got angry and looked unconvinced.

Lin Junxue just looked at Sun Manrou calmly. Although there were no waves in her eyes, they were like the deep ocean.

The tail of the eye is slightly upturned, seemingly gentle but actually contains a sharp chill.

Sun Manrou could only stand up reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly. Sun Man was so gentle that her face turned red.

She could only leave with her maid in disgrace.

Lin Junxue didn't give Sun Manrou any face at all. She was too mean. She deserved a lesson.

When Sun Manrou passed by Gu Mo, she deliberately stopped and gave her a cold look.

Obviously, she didn't dare to do anything to Lin Junxue, so she could only vent her anger on Gu Mo.

Gu Mo had tears in his eyes and took a step back out of fear, looking really pitiful.

Chen Mi sat aside, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.

Just now, Sun Manrou was too much. They were all concubines in the harem. Concubine Mo's face was disfigured now, and Sun Manrou was so sarcastic in her words. It was really inappropriate.

Zheng Jin and Qin Shushu quickly put away their expressions of watching the fun.

Lin Junxue asked Qiao Xin to interrogate all the people who served Gu Mo in Ning'an Palace.

Fortunately, Gu Mo was a noble, so he didn't have many servants. Qiao Xin interrogated the palace servants carefully.

Lin Junxue also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation of Gu Mo's diet.

Throughout the afternoon, everyone in the harem knew that the noble Gu Mo had been poisoned and was now disfigured.

The Queen ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

People in the harem began to feel uneasy, wondering who had done such a cruel thing to Gu Mo?

Lin Junxue came out of Ning'an Palace and went directly to Taiwu Palace to report the matter to Xie Yu in person.

Xie Yu got angry when he found out

Although he didn't care whether Gu Mo, the noble man, was dead or alive, he didn't care at all.

However, Xie Yu would not allow anyone in his harem to stir up trouble like this and use such cruel means.

Xie Yu asked Lin Junxue to get to the bottom of the matter and not to tolerate it.

Lin Junxue had known that Xie Yu would be angry. The matter of Chen Xier had just been settled a few days ago, and now another concubine in the harem was poisoned.

How could Emperor Xie Yu sleep peacefully when he thought of a woman like this on his bed?

Zhonghe Palace

Lin Junxue came back from Taiwu Palace, and right after that, Qiaoxin came back from Ning'an Palace.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, I have already brought people to carefully interrogate the palace servants who served Concubine Mo in Ning'an Palace, but I didn't find anything wrong with them. Xiao Xiazi has also begun to investigate Concubine Mo's food in recent days to see if someone has tampered with it. This matter is not easy to investigate, and I'm afraid it will take some time."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, her eyes deepened, and the corners of her lips slightly lowered.

His thin lips were lightly pursed, his brows were cold, his eyes were half bright and half dark, and he was lost in deep thought.

Today, regarding the poisoning of Concubine Mo, she always felt that something was wrong in her heart. It was an inner intuition, very strong.

This incident seemed like Gu Mo was poisoned, but the person behind the scenes was really plotting against Gu Mo.

If not, what is the purpose of the person behind this? Who is the one who really wants to plot?

But why did he poison Gu Mo? It doesn’t make sense.

This matter was indeed full of weirdness, which made her a little confused for a moment. Who was the one who did this?

Or maybe, she always felt that this matter was not over yet, or maybe, this was just the beginning.

If it was really as she guessed, Gu Mo's poisoning was just the beginning, the real drama was yet to come!

Danzhen served tea and frowned, "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is a little strange. You said that this noble lady Mo has always been law-abiding and has not done anything to compete for favor. She is not favored. She just slept with the emperor once and was forgotten by him. Such a favor should not arouse anyone's jealousy. Who would do such a cruel thing to noble lady Mo?"

Guyu also said, "This is indeed very strange. Among the concubines of this year, the most favored ones are Yan Zhaoyi, Jin Ronghua, and Shu Jieyu. Noble Lady Er Mo and Noble Lady Qian have no favor at all. If someone wanted to poison them, it should be Yan Zhaoyi and the other two. Why would it be Noble Lady Mo? This servant also feels that something is wrong."

Lin Junxue listened to the analysis of the three people, put away her thoughts, raised her eyes, was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke.

"This matter is indeed very strange, but perhaps I am over-suspicious. Let Xiao Cheng investigate this matter personally. Although Xiao Xiazi is cautious in her actions, she is still too immature. Xiao Cheng has been in the palace for many years and has his own methods. There are many inconsistencies in this matter. We need to find out who poisoned the person as soon as possible. We can't delay any further. If we delay any further, I will feel something is wrong and other incidents will surely arise."

Qiao Xin agreed and immediately went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pass on the order for Xiao Cheng to personally investigate the matter.

Dan Zhen said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. Eunuch Xiao will investigate this matter personally and will surely find out who poisoned him soon."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly and said "hmm" faintly.

What exactly happened? We still need to investigate further. It is useless to think too much about it now.

In the next few days, the weather gradually became colder, and it was the end of October in a blink of an eye. It was already the end of autumn.

The concubines in the harem have already started to change into thick skirts and rarely go out for activities.
