The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
114. Zhu Man Xie Alone
Aunt An told me what happened from the moment she met Lu Jing Yu who had just slipped out of danger smoothly. Everyone especially the girls and women kept their mouths shut in disbelief over what had befallen Lu Jing Yu and the bravery of Lu Jing Yu that perhaps they would not even have. And if they were in the same position as Lu Jing Yu back then, they would definitely not be able to escape the danger and end up humiliating.
Lu Jing Yu could only smile as she turned her head to face Pei Zhang Xi who had an expression that grew darker over time. Especially when Aunt An said that she saw Zhu Man Xie coming and meeting the dead maid. The man stared intently at the woman who had a deathly pale complexion from fear.
"Now, are you still willing to dodge Empress Yuan?" The Queen Mother stared intently at Zhu Man Xie who was not standing with her body shaking. Queen Zhu looked at her Nephew elaborately. If he helps her, he's the one who's gonna get hit again. It was enough for him to be punished for co-attempting to protect Zhu Man Xie earlier. He must not do the same thing that would jeopardize his fate. So for the time being he could only let fate decide Zhu Man Xie's fate.
Pei Qin Yang stared disappointedly at the wife he loved so much. He did not expect that his wife could even do such a heinous thing. How can a woman plot to trap another woman who is even pregnant to be harassed by a man? He never even thought that such an event actually appeared.
"Xie'er please tell me that's not true. You're not the one doing it, are you? This will only heal misunderstandings. Tell Aunt An what you're doing there exactly." Pei Qin Yang still refused to believe it. He was not sure his wife could do that.
"Yang'er do you doubt my people? Aunt An had already said that she heard clearly that Empress Yuan had this servant leave after asking if the Empress was in the Chamber. So no more asking him. But are you starting to not believe what my grandmother said?" The queen mother glanced at Pei Qin Yang cynically. This grandson is stupid. It would indeed be unable to become an Emperor given its naive nature.
"Grandmother is not. But I just don't believe any of this. It's too soon for me, Grandma."
"Huh! The emperor's problem is clear. The perpetrator who intended to defame the royal family is known. So now please take the decision to resolve this matter."
"I think so too. Empress Yuan, now that I want to hear from you alone is it true that you are the mastermind behind all this?" The Emperor asked calmly as his eyes were full of dominance.
Zhu Man xie further tightened his hands behind his wide sleeves as his eyes were filled with tears pitifully.
"Not the Emperor's father. I didn't do it. We can't just believe one servant's word. It could be an order from someone to slander me, right?"
"You are right. But you're wrong if there's no other evidence." The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt An once again.
It was no longer the people who heard Aunt An's words that were shocked. Even Zhu Man Xie was shocked. Because he never gave anything to the service other than the coin money that everyone also has. He could not foolishly give away an item that had a special characteristic that showed that it was his. But the japit was his. How could?
Of course the hair ornament was indeed not given by Zhu Man Xie to the servant but rather a servant who took it from the carriage used to store Zhu man Xie's belongings when there was nothing knowing it to serve as evidence on direct orders from the queen mother.
"Xie'er isn't that really your hairpiece? I remember very much that I gave it to you and I took it personally. So is it true that you were the one who asked those servants to harm Empress Rui?" Pei Qin Yang's gaze clearly looked extremely gloomy. He really doesn't want to believe.
"No, Your Majesty. That really wasn't me. Please investigate properly. Huhuhu. The decoration is mine. But I never gave it to this servant let alone I know that this hair ornament was given directly by His Majesty." Zhu Man Xie looked at the disappointed stages in Pei Qin Yang's eyes and made his heart sink.
"Grandfather. Grandpa help me cake. That wasn't me?" Zhu Man Xie turned his gaze to Zhu Yao Yan. But he forgot that his grandfather was a real cold-blooded man who would not look at any relationship as he stood between his life and the empire. His grandfather would choose the empire without a second thought. Zhu Yao Yan only glanced at him coldly. It was then that he knew that no one would protect him but himself.
Everyone is the same. Those who usually lick because of their current position turn their faces one by one. They went as far away as if they had never known each other.
Zhu Man Xie smiled bitterly as everyone left him. Then he began to laugh out loud under everyone's strange gaze before finally his body was dazed as his eyes slowly darkened.
