The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 594 There is a Biggest Winner

Concubine Cheng stared at Jiang Suining unhappily, "Just a simple word of forgiveness?"

"Sister, Lady Officer Jiang has worked hard in investigating this case. I think she just can't accept the result for the time being. Even if she said something inappropriate, why should you be so fussy about it?" Queen Shi spoke at the right time.

Concubine Cheng snorted coldly and glanced at Empress Shi. "Forget it. Since the Empress has spoken, I naturally cannot pursue it any further. However... Lady Jiang, the Emperor has already made the decision on this matter. No matter how much resentment you feel in your heart, you'd better swallow it. Otherwise, you will only cause trouble for yourself and ask for suffering!"

After saying this, Concubine Cheng walked straight out of Queen Shi's bedroom.

The moment she stepped out of the bedroom door, all the pride and frivolity on her face disappeared, replaced by depression and unhappiness.

Although she acted very proud in front of Queen Shi just now, this outcome may not be the best for her now.

If I close the case hastily, even if I won't be held responsible, the suspicion and discussion about me will probably only get worse.

But fortunately, no matter what the emperor's starting point is, he can lead the court officials to think that this is because the emperor cares about her and Yi'er. In this way, those court officials who were originally on the sidelines will inevitably be shaken. In this way, it is not completely without gain.

Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng let out a breath, then regained her composure and walked towards her bedroom.

In the sleeping palace.

Queen Shi sat back on the chair and said helplessly as she looked at Jiang Suining who was still standing in the hall.

"Madam Jiang, I know you want to find out the truth, but please don't blame me in your heart. In the situation just now, even if I didn't give in, the result would not have changed."

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I understand this. But..."

A high-profile poisoning case, in which He Qingrui's life was lost, was suppressed so lightly, like taking a gulp of bitter and astringent cold water in the dead of winter, making one feel cold from the bottom of one's heart and cold limbs.

"I know what you want to say, and I feel bad about it. But we have to consider the overall situation, and there are some things that both you and I have to accept." Queen Shi's tone was filled with helplessness, as if she was persuading Jiang Suining, or as if she was persuading herself.

Jiang Suining raised her head and looked at Queen Shi, "Your Majesty, but Qingrui..."

"Madam Jiang." Empress Shi shook her head and interrupted Jiang Suining, her tone slightly cold, "You have also seen that even He Qingrui's father is like that, what can we do."

It was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. Jiang Suining held his breath and looked at Queen Shi who was sitting in front of him. In the end, he didn't say anything.

Soon, Jiang Suining also left Queen Shi's palace.

She walked on the palace road, looking at the sky which was mostly covered by clouds, with only a few rays of pale sunlight occasionally cast by the sun, and her heart was a little dazed.

Although the final result of this matter has not yet been found, Emperor Xiao should think that Concubine Cheng is most likely the murderer.

But because of the royal reputation, the Fourth Prince, and the court officials who supported the Fourth Prince, he chose to keep quiet?

Looking back at the whole thing at this moment, she felt that there were no winners in this poisoning case.

Concubine Cheng failed to poison Empress Shi, and even though she was not held accountable, she was still a major suspect.

It was most likely Xiao Yi who planted someone in the Ye Ting Prison, so Xiao Yi failed to successfully kill the person and instead lost his secret agent.

Wei Yao was innocently involved in a poisoning case, imprisoned and tortured, and almost lost his life.

He Qingrui even lost her life to protect her family. In the end, her father, whom she saved with her life, rushed into the palace just to protect the reputation of the He family...

Jiang Suining felt it was ridiculous. When she came to her senses, she found that she had taken the wrong road, which led out of the palace.

She stopped and was about to turn around, but suddenly she heard a suppressed cry.

Frowning, Jiang Suining lightened his steps and walked to the turning ahead.

She saw He Huahui, dressed in official uniform, sitting down in an empty corner beside the palace road, crying bitterly.

This courtier, who had just been full of calculations, seemed to have finally become a father at this moment.

A father who lost his daughter and could no longer control his pain.

Jiang Suining looked at He Huahui who was crying bitterly, but finally did not go forward. She turned around and left quietly before the other party noticed her.

She was originally wondering whether she should let He Huahui know why He Qingrui agreed to work for Concubine Cheng.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether she knew it or not.

In the face of imperial power, human life is worthless. What can you do even if you know about it?

Just like in this poisoning case, there is no winner. In the face of imperial power, there may be no family affection.

Whether it is the royal family or the ministers, they can only give in to the overall situation.

Jiang Suining let his thoughts wander, thinking randomly without any restraint.

But at the moment when the wind blew away the clouds in the sky and the sunlight shone on the palace road, she suddenly stopped and realized that she was wrong.

Who said there are no winners in this matter!

There was a biggest winner, but he was ignored by her because of his status as a victim!

Jiang Suining's face suddenly darkened, and she walked quickly forward, gradually her pace became faster and faster, until she finally started to jog.

She ran all the way to the room where He Qingrui was originally imprisoned. It was now empty, with only a hint of blood lingering in the air.

Jiang Suining checked the room carefully and found nothing wrong. He then went to see the commander of the Imperial Guards and asked about all the details before He Qingrui's accident.

The Imperial Guards had already received the order to close the case. Although they didn't know why Jiang Suining was still asking these questions, the commander still called the Imperial Guards who were guarding He Qingrui and asked them to recall all the details again.

Since He Qingrui was locked in the room, there has been nothing unusual. No one has seen her except the palace maid who delivered meals and the guards who watched over her.

Jiang Suining continued to ask: "Is there really nothing strange about it?"

The two imperial guards shook their heads at the same time.

"Madam Jiang, there is indeed no problem. If there was anything unusual, we would have reported it long ago." One of them spoke up.

Another imperial guard nodded and said, "That's right. Although we were guarding the door, we checked from time to time and kept an eye on the windows of the room. It's impossible for anyone to get in. Apart from the two maids who delivered the food, there was no one else."

"Two?" Jiang Suining asked immediately, "There were two people delivering the meal?"
