Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 127 The truth comes out (1)

After more than a month of persistent searching, Xingye finally lived up to his expectations and successfully found the maid who used to be beside Jin'er. However, what was unexpected was that the maid's mouth was as hard as steel. No matter what kind of torture was inflicted on her, she always clenched her teeth and kept her mouth shut.

At this moment, the aroma of food filled the quiet and peaceful Jingxin Hall. Just as Lan Xi and Xiao Chuhan were concentrating on their meal, Xingye suddenly reported that he had found Jin'er's personal maid. Upon hearing this, Lan Xi and Xiao Chuhan hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks, and couldn't wait to ask if she had learned about what happened that day from the maid. Unfortunately, the answer they got was not satisfactory - Xingye shook his head helplessly, saying that despite the torture, the maid would rather die than surrender and refused to speak.

Lan Xi thought to herself that there must be a huge mystery behind this matter. Now Jin'er has passed away, but the maid insisted on hiding the truth. Could there be some other unspeakable difficulties?

Thinking of this, Lan Xi decided to go to the interrogation site to find out the truth. So she took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, can I go and interrogate this person in person?"

Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but reveal a trace of surprise when he heard this. He stared at Lan Xi and asked softly, "You'er, are you really determined to take the risk and go to interrogate her?"

Lan Xi nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right! What's wrong with this?"

"It's no big deal. Since you are willing to do it, I will order Xingye to arrange everything properly." Xiao Chuhan agreed readily.

Lan Xi nodded in thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

Xiao Chuhan accompanied Lan Xi to the dungeon. After Lan Xi stopped at the entrance of the dungeon, she turned around and said to the person behind her: "Your Majesty, I will go in first."

Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi and said, "I'll be waiting outside. If anything happens, remember to call me in time."

After getting the response, Lan Xi was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, Xiao Chuhan suddenly called out to her: "You'er, be careful, and make sure your own safety is the most important thing."

Lan Xi nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then said: "Don't worry, she is seriously injured now and has no ability to hurt me at all." After that, Lan Xi turned around resolutely and walked towards the cell.

After entering the cell, Lan Xi went straight to the cell where the maid was imprisoned. She saw that the maid was covered in wounds and tied tightly to a wooden frame, looking horrible. Lan Xi slowly approached the maid and stared at her face full of pain and her eyes closed.

The maid seemed to sense someone approaching and tried to open her eyes. When she saw that it was Lan Xi standing in front of her, she turned pale with fright. Obviously, the maid had never expected that Lan Xi was still alive.

"Why are you so surprised? Do you think I'm dead?" Lan Xi sneered, with a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

The maid glared at Lan Xi fiercely, but this action angered Lan Xi. Her originally gentle eyes suddenly became fierce and ferocious, which made people shudder. The maid couldn't help but tremble all over, and her fear became even greater.

Lan Xi stretched out her hand and pinched the maid's cheek, gradually increasing the force, causing the maid to almost cry out in pain. She stared fiercely at the woman in front of her who framed Wuyou and put him in prison, causing Wuyou to suffer so much, her eyes filled with anger and determination.

The maid's eyes were filled with fear, as if she had seen something terrible. She couldn't understand why the once gentle, kind, timid queen had become so frightening now. Although her contact with the queen was limited, everyone in the palace knew that the queen was weak in character, indifferent to the world, and had no desires.

However, at this moment, just a look from the Queen was enough to terrify the maid.

"Why did you frame me? You clearly knew that I was not the one who killed your master, yet you still reported to the emperor that it was me who did it." Lan Xi questioned the maid in front of her. She didn't understand why she would continue to be so stubborn since her master was already dead.

Facing the Queen's questioning, the maid kept her mouth shut, refusing to reveal the truth: "My master was indeed killed by you, Queen. Everything I said is true."

Lan Xi stared at the stubborn maid in front of her, with an indescribable smile on her lips: "Since this is the case, you insist on not telling the truth, then I naturally have countless ways to make you speak."

"You are willing to sacrifice your own life for a dead master, and even disregard the safety of your family. Is it really worth it?" Lan Xi turned her gaze to the maid in front of her and said slowly.

"Queen, if you have anything to say, come to me. Don't touch my family."

"Why, are you and I afraid? You will also worry about your family, afraid that your family will be hurt because of your involvement, but have you ever thought about how I have been hurt?" Lan Xi looked at the maid in front of her. No matter at what time or era, human nature is selfish. In Lan Xi's eyes, there is no one in this world who is not selfish.
