Chapter 259 [The Story of a Maid] The young man’s clear eyes

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards rushed up and reached out to grab the little palace maid.

This little maid was the maid who served tea to Jing Jingqian just now. She was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that her face turned pale and she subconsciously stepped back: "No, it's not me!"

"Bold, you dare to resist the decree!"

The emperor's face turned green with anger, and he slammed the table: "Catch her!"

Those guards were still wary of the people around them before, but when they saw the emperor being so furious, they were no longer polite. They only heard the sound of swords coming out of their bodies, and the cold light was dazzling in front of them. They all drew out their bright swords.

The knife was raised towards the palace maid's neck.

The palace maid was so frightened when the knife was held to her neck that she knelt down and begged for mercy. She really didn't do anything. She just served tea normally and had no idea how someone could be poisoned.

But no one believed her at this time. Princess Yuxi in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person identified was not hers, and watched the fun with gloating.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly said to Chu Qinghui, who had been silent on the side, "Prince, please tell me about this matter and this person, how should we deal with it?"

Chu Qinghui slowly raised his head and glanced at the palace maid with his bright eyes. There was not much warmth in his eyes. Even when he spoke, he was as cold as water: "My son thinks that she should be detained for questioning until she is found out."

The truth, then convict."

"Okay! Let the prince investigate this matter. The emperor frowned slightly, looked at Chu Qinghui, then looked at the people around him, and asked: "Qinghui, are you willing?"

"My son, I accept the decree."

"Okay, you have to find out the truth behind the scenes as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Prime Minister, which is also an explanation for yourself. Do you understand?"

"My son understands."

After saying that, a tired look appeared on the emperor's face, and he waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's get started, I have to go back."

The people around him hurriedly bid farewell to the emperor, but when the queen left, she paused briefly, glanced sharply at Chu Luocheng, then looked at the prince and Chu Weixi before leaving.

At this time, Chu Luocheng slowly walked over, looked at Chu Qinghui, with a look of fun on his face, and said: "Second brother, this kind of thing happened to your princess just now, you

Don't let that little palace maid go."

Chu Qinghui glanced at him sharply, as if he was too lazy to say anything to him, so he turned around and ordered: "Come here, arrest this palace maid."

"Yes." The surrounding guards immediately stepped forward, captured the palace maid, and escorted her away.

Is the person who poisoned me the palace maid?

If so, then, is there anyone behind her?!

Here, Jiang Zuilan and the prime minister's family are in a small room near the palace banquet.

At this time, a little palace maid told her that someone was looking for her. When she went out, she saw a familiar face with concerned eyes: "Xiao Lan!"

Chu Weixi sighed and said with some disappointment: "I really didn't expect this to happen. I originally wanted to take you around the palace, but I'm afraid I can't do that now."

Jiang Zuilan: "..."

After a period of silence, Chu Weixi was secretly annoyed at her stupidity and didn't know how to comfort her. She looked at Jiang Zuilan, was silent for a while, and suddenly said slowly: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor is here, and the eldest lady of the prime minister's family is not here."

Something will happen."

"Yeah." Jiang Zuilan was stunned by his sudden words. For some reason, there seemed to be something else in this simple sentence, but he still nodded.

It's enough to have the Prime Minister's family to worry about. I'm just a little maid in the Prime Minister's house, so there's no need to worry so much.

There was a glimmer of light in Chu Weixi's eyes. He looked deeply at Jiang Zuilan. Seeing her, he didn't seem to be too worried. He finally breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's good, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Here you go, you probably haven’t eaten for a long time, so eat something to cushion your stomach first, the people in the Prime Minister’s Mansion don’t know when they will go back.”

Chu Weixi took out a box of pastries from under his wide sleeves, opened it and handed it to Jiang Zuilan, "Although this osmanthus cake is not as delicious as the one made by Wang Li, the one made by the Imperial Kitchen is quite tasty. Try it quickly."

Chu Weixi opened the pastry box, took out a piece of delicate osmanthus cake and handed it to Jiang Zuilan's mouth, looking at her with shining eyes.

Jiang Zuilan and Jing Jingyan set out to enter the palace after lunch. It was already the third watch and they were really hungry.

Looking at the clean and simple eyes of the young man in front of him, they were like the blue cloudless sky above his head, and even his expression was so clean.

Dazzled by his bright eyes, Chu Weixi had already walked up to Jiang Zuilan and placed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Jiang Zuilan's mouth. "Here, ah."

Jiang Zuilan took the pastry and put it into his mouth and said thank you.

Chu Weixi looked at Jiang Zuilan, blinking and rounding her eyes: "Hey, you are so cute."

"..."

"Sixth Prince, please leave quickly. It won't be good if others see him." Jiang Zuilan was speechless when he heard his words. This guy must have been well protected. He was born in the royal family and is still so simple.

Chu Weixi looked at Jiang Zuilan for a while, then smiled: "You finish this box of pastries, and then I'll leave."

Chu Weixi handed the pastry to Jiang Zuilan, saying, "I'll watch you eat it, and I'll leave after you finish it."

Jiang Zuilan was surprised by his words, but they had known each other for a while and knew that he was just a simple young man. He turned around and looked around and saw no one, so he whispered: "Thank you."

"Hehe, you're welcome." Chu Weixi blinked and smiled a bit shyly.

Seeing Jiang Zuilan finish eating the pastries in the box, bursts of smiles appeared in his clear eyes, and he said with some annoyance: "Oops! It seems that I took too little."

Jiang Zuilan shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you, I'm full." Just as he was about to leave, he heard Chu Weixi pat his forehead and say, "Ah, I forgot to bring you something to drink."

After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Zuilan's wrist.

Jiang Zuilan immediately struggled to pull his hand back, but Chu Weixi held on tightly and said as he walked: "Take you to my palace. My palace is not far away. There is also a small kitchen. There must be something boiling in the kitchen."

of hot soup.”

What?

"But, I still have to follow the second young lady. They will go back home soon." Jiang Zuilan stopped and Chu Weixi pulled her twice but didn't pull. She turned her head aggrievedly.

"Hey, really, it's all because there are too many rules in this palace. Otherwise, I would have to fulfill my duties as a landlord and treat you to a good meal in an open and honest manner!"

He scratched the back of his head and smiled a little helplessly.

Jiang Zuilan raised his head and looked at Chu Weixi. He had the cleanest eyes. The kind of clean and clear eyes made people feel like a spring breeze and made them feel warm.

For some reason, in front of such a pair of eyes, Jiang Zuilan felt a little envious of him. She seemed to have seen such a look once upon a time, who it was, it had been so long that she couldn't remember.

Jiang Zuilan was stunned. When he looked at Chu Weixi again, he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to a slit. Seeing his happy look, Jiang Zuilan also smiled at him and said, "Thank you, I'll go back first."

Chu Weixi looked at Jiang Zuilan's smile and seemed to be stunned. When he came back to his senses, he saw Jiang Zuilan's leaving back. He murmured: "You--you look so pretty when you smile."
