The Grand Tutor wants to be the Queen every day and is going crazy

Chapter 158: The Minister Will Be Even More Rogue

Ji Yanchen asked: "Xiu Fei has no grudges against His Majesty, why did you send someone to kill His Majesty?"

The maid breathed weakly and spoke intermittently: "Empress Xiu...she was out of favor, so she wanted to kill..."

Ji Yanchen's cold face flashed with a chill: "She is so bold! How dare she do such a treasonous thing!"

The maid gasped with difficulty and continued, "Empress Xiu is extremely jealous and would do anything to win favor..."

Ji Yanchen frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Take good care of this palace maid and don't let her die."

"Go and bring Concubine Xiu here for careful interrogation."

Ji Yanchen Moyu brought Concubine Xiu over for interrogation. No matter how they interrogated her, Concubine Xiu said that His Majesty's assassination had nothing to do with her!

She claimed that the palace maid was instructed to frame her.

The palace maid was brought before Concubine Xiu. She pointed at her and insisted that it was Concubine Xiu who ordered her to do it.

Concubine Xiu burst into tears out of fear and told Ji Yanchen that she would not hurt Gu Qingluo: "My lord, I have always been law-abiding in the palace and loyal to Your Majesty. How could I do such a treasonous thing? That maid must have been instructed by someone to deliberately frame me and drag me into this! My lord, you are wise!"

Mo Yu glanced at his master sitting on the chair, then turned to look at Concubine Xiu with a cold gaze, and said sternly: "At this point, you are still quibbling! Why did the maid frame you? Is she trying to save her life?"

Concubine Xiu cried bitterly, sobbing and saying, "People in the harem are complicated. Maybe someone is jealous of my position and wants to use this incident to get rid of me. I am really innocent. You must believe me!"

Mo Yu pointed at her, unmoved, and snorted coldly: "The evidence is irrefutable, how can you flatter me with sweet words!"

Concubine Xiu looked at the lone maid beside her and shouted, "Is it that bitch Wanjun who is causing trouble?"

"You must die a good death!"

The maid was frightened by Concubine Xiu's angry glare and shook her head to deny it: "No, Madam, it was you who gave me the money and asked me to do it."

Concubine Xiu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at the maid and cursed, "How dare you, you lowly maid, spit blood at me! When did I ever give you any money?"

Mo Yu frowned and said coldly, "Shut up! When His Majesty wakes up, the truth will be revealed. Before that, Concubine Xiu, you must stay in this palace and not step out of the palace."

Concubine Xiu gritted her teeth, but she could do nothing but reply bitterly, "Yes, sir."

After the interrogation, Mo Yu looked at Ji Yanchen and said, "Sir, it seems that this Concubine Xiu really doesn't want to know."

"This maid is still lying."

Ji Yanchen stood up and said, "Continue to torture her until her mouth is pried open."

"Yes, my lord."

Ji Yanchen took Mo Yu and others away, and Concubine Xiu collapsed on the ground, her eyes full of fear and unwillingness.

After a few days, Gu Qingluo finally woke up.

Ji Yanchen hurried over, and when he saw Gu Qingluo waking up, he was very happy and told her the whole story.

After hearing this, Gu Qingluo's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said, "With her brain, it's not possible."

“Not really.”

"Pigs are smarter than her."

Gu Qingluo asked again: "How is Lin Lingling?"

"I found her in a mass grave. Seeing that she was seriously injured, I saved her life."

Ji Yanchen listened to what Gu Qingluo said.

There was no one else in Mingde Hall. Ji Yanchen could no longer suppress his worries. He stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingluo tightly, his tone still filled with lingering fear: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself first and don't worry about others. You know that I am heartbroken when you are in danger this time."

Gu Qingluo gently patted Ji Yanchen on the back and said, "I'm fine now, don't worry so much. But Lin Lingling, tell me, how is she doing?"

Ji Yanchen let go of Gu Qingluo, looked at her pale face, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, she is fine for now, the imperial physician is taking good care of her, but Your Majesty, you must rest well and don't make me worry anymore."

Gu Qingluo smiled slightly: "With you here, I feel at ease."

Ji Yanchen's eyes were slightly red: "Your Majesty, I will be extra careful in the future to protect you and never let such a thing happen again."

Gu Qingluo lazily leaned against the bed with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Ji Yanchen and asked, "Ji Yanchen, who do you think is behind all this?"

Ji Yanchen picked up the bowl, frowned slightly, fed Gu Qingluo a mouthful of medicine, and then replied: "Your Majesty, all the evidence currently points to Concubine Xiu, but I think this matter may not be that simple."

Gu Qingluo drank the medicine and nodded gently: "I also have this doubt. Although Concubine Xiu has a motive, with her mind and means, I am afraid it is difficult for her to plan so carefully."

Ji Yanchen continued, "Your Majesty, I will continue to investigate secretly and not let go of any clues. Perhaps there are deeper conspiracies and forces hidden behind this."

Gu Qingluo sighed, "I am very lucky to have survived this disaster. If the real culprit behind the scenes is not found, I will have turned a blind eye."

Ji Yanchen: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will fulfill my mission and find out the truth as soon as possible to bring peace to Your Majesty."

Gu Qingluo nodded slightly, "With Lord Ji's words, I feel much more at ease."

After saying that, Gu Qingluo took the initiative to hug him and rubbed his head with her little head.

"Your Majesty, I am itchy."

"Bear it."

"Oh…"

The moment Gu Qingluo let him go, Ji Yanchen kissed her forehead, then turned to her beautiful red lips and studied them carefully.

At this moment, Eunuch Su ran into Mingde Hall in a hurry with a look of joy on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Miss Lin is awake!"

However, his sudden intrusion happened to see Ji Yanchen kissing Gu Qingluo tenderly and intimately. Eunuch Su was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned his head, cold sweat on his forehead, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the girl has woken up and is looking for you!"

A blush appeared on Gu Qingluo's face, as if the sunset glowed on her cheeks. She pushed Ji Yanchen away with a little anger and shyness, turned her face slightly away, and did not dare to look directly at Eunuch Su.

Ji Yanchen was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and quickly regained his usual composure and said, "Eunuch Su, go and tell Miss Lin first that His Majesty will come to visit later."

Eunuch Su responded hurriedly, "Yes, I'll go right away." Then he hurriedly retreated, his steps even more flustered than when he came.

The palace was silent for a while. Gu Qingluo lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip lightly, which made her look even more charming. Ji Yanchen looked at her like this, and his heart was full of love. He said softly: "Your Majesty, your lips are so soft."

Gu Qingluo raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, and said angrily: "It's all your fault. You are so rude. If someone sees us, it will be disgraceful."

Ji Yanchen admitted his mistake: "It was my fault. I will continue next time."

Gu Qingluo punched him: "You hooligan."

"After your majesty's injury healed, I became even more of a hooligan~"

Gu Qingluo knew what he meant and her face turned red again and again.
