Drunk Bamboo

Chapter 104 Suspicious

The Imperial Concubine's hand was always holding Xiao Bingxin's, which was the greatest comfort and encouragement to Xiao Bingxin.

Even if she offended Hua Qinfeng today, she didn't care.

Anyway, King Feng is the apple of her father's eye, and she has three older brothers, so she doesn't need Hua Qinfeng as a non-biological brother.

Xie Yuzhu smiled coldly and asked, "Miss Xiao, do you mean that I should worry about him more than the future princess of King Wen?"

The emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Xiao Bingxin was stunned for a moment: "I, I don't mean that."

Seeing that the emperor's expression was wavering and he seemed to be thinking about something, Xie Yuzhu immediately added some more facts:

"Father, the prince accompanied me to the side hall and happened to meet Miss Luo who had just changed her clothes. I told her the news that Prince Wen fell into the water."

"Miss Luo was so worried about King Wen that she fainted. I felt really guilty and thought I shouldn't have been so anxious to tell Miss Luo about King Wen falling into the water. Or I should have said it more gently so as not to scare Miss Luo. I was afraid that Miss Luo would be even more sad when she woke up and saw King Wen's haggard face, so I asked someone to send her out of the palace first and wait until King Wen's complexion recovered before going into the palace to see him."

As he spoke, Xie Yuzhu couldn't help but reveal a look of guilt.

Hua Qinfeng gently stroked her back.

Even though it was fake, he still felt sad when he saw it.

It was his fault again this time. He mistakenly trusted Xiao Bingxin and caused Xie Yuzhu to worry and work hard.

Xiao Bingxin said innocently: "Sister-in-law Princess took Miss Luo out of the palace without a sound. Those who knew about it were worried about Miss Luo's health, while those who didn't thought that she had done something shameful and left the palace in a hurry."

Hua Qinfeng was filled with rage. This was just putting the blame on someone else!

She drugged Miss Luo and used aphrodisiac on him, and now she is framing him. When did she become like this? !

He couldn't believe it, and his face showed anger, disgust and nausea.

Xiao Zhong stood in the crowd for a long time, watching everything that happened in silence.

A layer of frost had already covered his steady and mature face.

He raised his daughter and taught Hua Qinfeng, so he knew both of their personalities very well.

And everything that happened today was too coincidental.

"How disrespectful! Don't say anything in front of His Majesty the Queen!" Xiao Zhong sternly stopped Xiao Bingxin's accusation.

He was unwilling to believe that his daughter had done this, but all signs seemed to point to her side.

Xiao Bingxin's eyes trembled, and she lowered her head, feeling aggrieved.

The imperial concubine held her hand, giving her strength, and seemed to be silently supporting her.

Xiao Bingxin glanced at the Imperial Concubine, then at Hua Qinming, and smiled slightly.

Getting the support of the Imperial Concubine is more important than anything else.

Daddy never considered her feelings and forced her to return to Xilin and marry a cripple. He no longer loved her!

In order to ease the atmosphere, the emperor turned his gaze to Luo Yuan, who hadn't said a word:

"Lord Luo, how is Qi'er now?"

By the way, I was also confirming who was right between Xie Yuzhu and Xiao Bingxin.

Luo Yuan was an upright person and acted fairly, so the emperor trusted his words more.

"Your Majesty, my daughter has been timid since she was young. She has never experienced any turmoil and has brought shame to the royal family. The people in the palace have sent her back home." Luo Yuan said truthfully.

After listening to Xiaolan's report just now, and then listening to Xie Yuzhu's words, he was not so shocked. Instead, he thanked her: "I heard from the servants that King Feng specially sent someone to escort my daughter out of the palace. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome, Lord Luo." Hua Qinfeng responded.

"It turns out that someone in Lord Luo's mansion saw Feng'er and Yuzhu together." The emperor said lightly.

Xie Yuzhu smiled faintly in her heart: The emperor is indeed very suspicious. If Xiaolan hadn't been there, the emperor would probably only be half-believing and half-doubting no matter how hard she tried.

Xiaolan knelt down and kowtowed, her voice trembling: "I am Xiaolan, the young lady's personal maid. I saw Prince Feng and the princess together with my own eyes. At that time, Prince Feng supported the princess like this, and the princess's face was not very good."

"It was the young lady who saw the princess first and bowed to her. The prince and princess then entered the side hall and spoke to the young lady out of kindness. The young lady was so focused on Prince Wen that she fainted after not being able to catch her breath."

Xiao Bingxin stopped laughing: "When I left the side hall, you were clearly not by her side. You are talking nonsense. She has clearly..."

She didn't dare to say it.

Xie Yuzhu asked, "What already? Miss Xiao, don't you mean that Miss Luo fainted when you left?"

Xiao Bingxin changed her words and questioned Xiaolan harshly: "She was fine when I left. It was this maid who lied!"

Xiaolan is smart. It is obvious that Xiao Bingxin is hesitant to speak. The young lady was bewitched by her.

She is the one who wants to harm the young lady!

Xiao Lan raised her head, glared at Xiao Bingxin fiercely, raised her hand and swore to the sky:

"Every word Xiaolan said was for the young lady. If there was any selfish motive in what she said, I would ask the heaven to strike me down. Do you dare to swear, young lady?"

"How dare a little servant like you talk back!" Xiao Bingxin said angrily. No one had ever dared to question or contradict her like this, and she was just a servant? !

Soon she realized that she had lost her composure, and immediately pitifully asked the Imperial Concubine for help: "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please help Bing Xin."

The Imperial Concubine looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty..."

Anyone with a discerning eye has already seen some clues at this moment.

What's more, he is a shrewd emperor.

Silent, no words.

Xiaolan is a law-abiding person and will not contradict others for no reason. Although she has doubts in her heart, she is still a member of the Luo family.

Luo Yuan pleaded, "Your Majesty, Xiaolan is Qi'er's personal maid. They grew up together. Qi'er treats her like a sister. It is the mansion that failed to discipline her well. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The emperor smiled and said, "The servants under the supervision of Lord Luo are considerate and know how to worry about their master's health. But no one in the palace has good eyesight and actually let Ming'er fall into the water by the pool alone!"

After saying this, he cast a stern look at the palace servants in the room.

The palace maids knelt one after another: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The emperor said to Luo Yuan, "Qi'er was frightened at the first family banquet. Lord Luo, you must comfort Qi'er when you return home."

"I will keep this in mind."

"We are already in-laws, Lord Luo, there is no need to be so reserved."

"The etiquette between the ruler and his subjects cannot be abolished."

Luo Yuan understood the relationship between the emperor and his subjects the best. No matter what position he held, he always put the emperor first.

This is what the emperor values ​​most.

"Feng'er and Yuzhu did a good job this time, and they should be rewarded." After the emperor appeased Luo Yuan, he appeased Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu, and then said to everyone, "An accident happened today, so the family dinner will end early, and everyone should go back to their homes to rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone left the house one by one.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunling was waiting at the gate of Fu'an Palace holding a package.

Xie Yuzhu: "Xiao Lan, this is your young lady's dress, please keep it carefully and wash it carefully when you get home."

Xiaolan took the package from Yunling, her eyes full of gratitude: "Xiaolan understands, thank you Princess for saving my young lady's life! Xiaolan will remember it in her heart."

Xie Yuzhu nodded: "Go back quickly."

After everyone had gone far away, Hua Qinfeng asked unwillingly:

"Are we leaving like this?"

Xie Yuzhu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Your Majesty, do you still want to get involved?"

Indignantly: "Xiao Bingxin's evil deeds are just going to be left unresolved?"

Xie Yuzhu said coldly: "She has done the evil herself, so she has to bear the consequences herself. No matter what the consequences are, she has to bear them."

It would be difficult for Xiao Bingxin to accomplish tonight's task alone. It mainly depends on whether Hua Qinming cooperates. His falling into the water is really strange. Was it intentional?

The Imperial Concubine's behavior was also somewhat strange.

If Xiao Bingxin really entered Prince Wen's Mansion as she wished, this whole family would be full of drama queens.

It's just a pity for Luo Qi.

I don't know whether doing this tonight helped her or hurt her.

Xie Yuzhu shook her head and decided to take care of her own business first.

"Your Highness has done his best. Now it's the Xiao family's family affairs. Your Highness's interference will only make things worse." Xie Yuzhu naturally took his hand, "Let's go, let's go back home."

Hua Qinfeng's palms felt hot: "Xie Yuzhu..."

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"The poison seems to have taken effect..."
