The side hall instantly became quiet, with only a few people left. Huangfu Yuqing took a slow sip of tea, and then slowly stared at the two maids standing uneasily in the hall with his clear but sharp eyes.

"Which of you two has something to say first?" Huangfu Yuqing gave them a chance to speak.

Qiu Hong and Li Yue looked at each other and looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Hong spoke first: "I don't understand. Princess Pingnan kept me here. Do you suspect that I am her accomplice?"

After a while, the little maid was brought by the guards. She looked nervous. I wonder why Huangfu Yuqing called her over again. Wasn't he doubting her? So he waved his hands: "Princess Pingnan, slave.

It really has nothing to do with this matter..."

When mentioning the Empress, Huangfu Yuqing thought of another important thing. The Empress was very clear about the spices she made for Concubine Su. The Empress also asked her to send a bottle to Fengyang Palace after the spices were made.

, now that I think about it, I feel like there is something strange about this matter, could it be...

"Who are you talking to?" Nangong Longze couldn't help asking.

"My name is Qiaomei." Qiaomei responded, her slightly trembling voice still revealing her inner nervousness.

A flash of light flashed across Huangfu Yuqing's eyes, and he stared faintly at the man sitting on the other side. Nangong Longze was also staring in her direction with interested eyes.

"Of course I want to find someone who likes to talk and can chat..." The smile on the woman's lips deepened, her eyes slowly looked at a guard, and she chuckled: "Go and find the maid who talked the most among the group of maids just now.

The little maid called me and said that I wanted to talk to her."

"Yes." The guard stepped forward in response, looked at Li Yue beside him, and couldn't help but stare at Huangfu Yuqing: "Princess, how will this maid be punished? Do you want to take her down too?"

"My servant Qiu Hong, I have followed Concubine Su since she entered the palace." Qiu Hong said cautiously.

"Then tell me, where did you get those leeches?" Huangfu Yuqing said calmly with a cold charm on his lips.

"Didn't Qiu Hong plead guilty just now? It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Li Yue. Let her go. By the way, she will go to Huayun Palace to help trim the flowers and plants." Huangfu Yuqing said lightly.

"I am asking you...when did you enter the palace?" Huangfu Yuqing's cold voice was obviously deep but became stronger.

As the clues became clearer and clearer, he suddenly heard a man's deep voice coming from beside him: "It's late, now that the case has been revealed, it's time for my beloved concubine to go back and rest, and leave the rest of the matter to my father!

"

…………Susu’s gorgeous dividing line…………

Huangfu Yuqing stared at the man in confusion and said calmly: "The murderer has been caught, but there is still a mastermind behind the scenes. That is the most important thing."

Qiu Hong's body froze slightly, and she was stunned for a moment before continuing: "Those are... the slaves went to the lake to lure them with brown sugar water and caught them."

"When did you enter the palace?" Huangfu Yuqing generously poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Qiao Mei. The little maid was so flattered that her eyes almost fell out because the majestic princess actually poured tea for her.

"When I first arrived at Manhua Palace, I only knew Sister Liyue. When I saw her, I was very surprised. After asking, I found out that Sister Liyue accidentally broke one of the Queen's robes, so the Queen sent her to the palace.

She kicked out of Fengyang Palace, and then Manhua Palace happened to be short of people, so she came here."

Although Qiu Hong's maid took the initiative to plead guilty just now, it is obvious that her motive for harming Concubine Su is not strong enough. It is indeed very human to think of using leeches to kill someone invisible. How could a little maid be caught from the lake?

So many leeches, this is also a doubtful point.

"Qiaomei, sit over here and let's chat while drinking tea." Huangfu Yuqing's voice was soft and gentle. The more she acted like this, the more Qiaomei couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I just want you to drink tea and chat with me. What's your name?" Huangfu Yuqing's instinct is that he likes this girl. Her eyes are very simple, and she feels simple and unpretentious.

Qiu Hong also stared at Li Yue, her deep almond eyes staring straight at her. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

"Since you are someone close to the Queen, how come you are here at Manhua Palace? Have you ever heard Li Yue mention this?"

As for Qiu Hong, it now seems very likely that it was the second eyeliner set by the Queen. As for how she entered the Manhua Palace, it is no longer important.

"Princess, there is no need to ask anymore. This matter was all done by this slave. I plead guilty." Qiu Hong suddenly raised her eyes to meet Huangfu Yuqing's, and confessed her crime with tears in her eyes.

"Princess Xie Pingnan." Li Yue kowtowed repeatedly, and while looking back at Qiu Hong, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"What was your motive for harming Concubine Su?" Huangfu Yuqing turned around and spoke coldly.

It seemed that she was indeed his maid. Huangfu Yuqing nodded, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Then did you know those two maids Li Yue and Qiu Hong before?"

"Concubine Su is not good to me, and the rewards and punishments are unfair, so I thought of this..." Qiu Hong drooped her head and sobbed softly.

Huangfu Yuqing stared at her. Seeing the situation in front of her, she knew that it would be impossible to ask what she wanted to ask Qiu Hong. The girl was already determined to die. There must be something unknown behind this.

side.

"Since you have admitted your guilt, take the person down and imprison him until he is released." Huangfu Yuqing ordered calmly.

The rest of the room said. Nangong Longze's lips curved into a faint smile of approval. When he heard that the woman was going to let Li Yue go, he had a doubt in his heart. Now that he heard her next arrangement, he immediately understood what the woman was doing.

The trick is very powerful. It seems that her purpose of letting the tiger return to the mountain is actually to find a bigger tiger's den.

"If my calculation is correct, you entered the palace before Concubine Su entered the palace."

"Slave...it has been almost three years since I entered the palace." Qiaomei's voice was a little softer, and she seemed very reserved.

A flash of light flashed in Huangfu Yuqing's eyes. For this reason, she seemed to understand that Li Yue was most likely placed in Manhua Palace by the Empress. Unfortunately, Concubine Su was also a cautious person.

When he found out that Li Yue came from the Queen's Palace, he sent her to clean the courtyard and trim flowers and plants, without giving her a chance to get close to him.

Huangfu Yuqing has always been able to feel the empress's hostility towards him, which must be related to Nangong Longyan's incident, but she was able to come up with such a vicious trick, killing two birds with one stone, and her wishful thinking was successful.

Yes, it not only allowed Huangfu Yuqing to take the blame, but also eliminated Su Guifei's major worry.

"This servant only knows Li Yue, but not Qiu Hong. Li Yue used to be a maid in the Queen's Palace. I often saw her in the dressing room. She sent the Queen's clothes to the dressing room.

She must be the maid next to the Queen." When Qiao Mei recalled the past, she felt much more relaxed, and while she was recalling it in detail, she also mixed in her own guesses.

"I asked you to sit down, so you sit down, or do you want to disobey me?" Huangfu Yuqing said in a half-joking tone, but Qiao Mei's face turned pale with fright, and she trembled slightly next to Huangfu Yuqing.

Sit down.

"Slave... I don't dare. I'd better stand and talk to the princess." Qiao Mei shook her head, never daring to be presumptuous.

"Looking for someone to chat with." Huangfu Yuqing smiled, with a cunning look in his clear water eyes. 13acv.

"What's your name? And when did you enter the palace?" Huangfu Yuqing asked in a cold voice, as if he didn't hear her question.

"What does my beloved concubine want to do next?" Nangong Longze's magnetic and sexy voice came out in a low voice. He had been watching the show from beginning to end. At this moment, there were almost only the two of them left in the huge side hall. He was interested in knowing about women.

What’s next?

"Yes. The slave initially worked in the laundry room. The nanny in charge said that the slave was diligent. Later, after Concubine Su entered the palace, the Manhua Palace was short of people. The father-in-law in charge went to the laundry room to ask, and the nanny recommended her.

Servant."

As soon as Li Yue left, Huangfu Yuqing lowered her voice and ordered another guard: "Follow her secretly, don't let her find out, see where she has been, and come back later to report to me!"

A faint smile appeared on Huangfu Yuqing's lips. She just liked people who knew how to chat. She could tell a lot of things by just asking. However, Nangong Longze's eyes darkened when he heard Qiu Qiu.

When Hong Mou mentioned the Queen, he seemed to be vaguely aware of something, and his flat eyebrows slowly frowned.

"Yes, Princess." The guards responded respectfully. Today was the first time they had dealt with Princess Pingnan. They did not expect that the newly married princess of Prince Pingnan had clear thoughts, intelligent and quick thinking, and an orderly style of doing things, which was not inferior to that of men.

This move of the Empress is really vicious! Thinking about it, she placed her own people in Manhua Palace. It only took a day or two, but she chose this time to attack. Her intention was obviously quite obvious.

I want to put the blame on Huangfu Yuqing!!

"My beloved is pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to your health." Nangong Longze had already walked up to the woman at this moment, grabbed her arm without any reason, and pulled her out, as if he didn't hear her words.

The man's big hands were like iron pliers. Huangfu Yuqing couldn't break free at all. He waited until he left the gate of Manhua Palace. Only then did the man's big hands loosen up a little. Huangfu Yuqing broke free all of a sudden, unhappy.

She frowned and asked, "Hey, what are you going to do?"
