Haitang was so frightened by Mrs. Quan Si's words that she lost her mind and didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Quan Si took the opportunity and said: "Miss Haitang, if Mr. Fu Yin summons you, you have to reply. In this case, why do you need to tell me what you know first, and I will see if there is anything wrong."

"This..." Haitang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything. I just learned singing from General Shao's wife for a few days. I was young at that time, and there was nothing wrong with General Shao's wife."

You wouldn't say that to a little girl."

Mrs. Quan Si saw that Haitang was obviously hiding something. It seemed that Haitang knew something, but didn't tell it, so she threatened: "Miss Haitang, that's all. But if you know something, don't tell it."

, but the crime of not reporting it is very serious."

There was another flash of fear in Haitang's eyes, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Mrs. Quan Si had no choice but to just reply to Su Yiqing.

Su Yiqing listened to Mrs. Quan Si's story and pondered for a long time before saying: "In this case, you bring Haitang and I will ask her personally."

"Is this appropriate?" Mrs. Quan Si didn't know why Su Yiqing was so concerned about this matter, but in her opinion, if Princess Ding came to ask Haitang, it would mean that Prince Ding's palace had something to do with this time. If it spread, others would know

Very bad association.”

"Just do as I say." Su Yiqing didn't want to explain too much to Mrs. Quan Si.

"Yes." Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to ask any more questions.

In this way, I returned to the tea house and told Haitang.

Haitang became even more uneasy and asked Mrs. Quan again and again: "What does the princess want from me? Did I do something wrong?"

Mrs. Quan Si said: "Look what you said, Miss Haitang, what else can you do wrong in my tea house that deserves Princess Ding's concern? The princess just wants to ask you something, don't worry

, it’s not a big deal, Princess Ding is a good person and won’t embarrass you.”

Haitang was still very worried and said, "Fourth Mrs., can I not go?"

"How can you not go?" Mrs. Quan Si frowned, "Miss Haitang, you also said that it is very pleasant to work in the tea house. This is the grace of Prince Ding. Not to mention that you came to work here.

You have been in Prince Ding's Mansion for many years, and the Prince's Mansion has never treated you badly. Now that the Princess wants to ask you something, how can you not go?"

Haitang also knew that it was hard to shirk, so she had to tidy up and follow Mrs. Quan Si.

When they arrived at Prince Ding's Mansion, Mrs. Quan Si led Haitang into a courtyard, then let Haitang go alone while she retreated first.

Haitang was just beating the drum in her heart. At this time, Lv Teng came out and led Haitang in.

Entering the inner room, Haitang could only see a slim figure through a layer of curtains. She lowered her head and saluted, saying, "Haitang has met the princess."

"No need to be polite." A faint female voice came from inside the curtain.

Haitang only felt that she had heard this voice somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. Maybe the people were similar and the voices were different.

Just listen to Princess Ding's instructions: "Show Miss Haitang a seat."

Then Lu Teng moved a chair for Haitang. Haitang was a little uneasy and didn't dare to sit down. He lowered his head and said, "Begonia doesn't dare to sit in front of the princess."

"Sit down, now you are no longer a singer in the palace, you are free, you don't have to be so rigid." Princess Ding said softly in the curtain.

Haitang didn't dare not sit down. She thought to herself that the princess was very polite when she spoke, but the more she spoke like this, the more uneasy she became. How could the majestic princess, who was like a god to her, be so polite to a little singer like her?

Can it make her uneasy?

Judging from her past experience, the more polite the superior is, it means that he has some plans for her, and the plans are very big. Although she is a singer and has nothing worthy of the princess's plans, she is still uneasy.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the person inside the curtain say again: "Miss Haitang, you must be very strange. Why did I come to you?"

"Yes." Haitang didn't dare to tell lies. There was nothing worthy of lying about this kind of thing. It would be hypocritical to say it was not strange.

"I want to ask you about General Shao's wife." Su Yiqing asked directly about the purpose to prevent Haitang from making random guesses and becoming more uneasy.

After Haitang was surprised, it was not surprising when she thought about it. Mrs. Quan Si asked her that day. Thinking about it, after this incident, she was nothing worthy of being summoned by the princess. Knowing the purpose, she replied: "

Princess, Haitang is not familiar with General Shao’s wife, and Haitang doesn’t know anything about the general’s wife.”

"Really?" The person inside the curtain said this softly, and then said, "But as far as I know, that's not the case."

Haitang knitted her fingers together, but still gritted her teeth and said, "Haitang really doesn't know that Haitang has hardly been out since she entered Prince Ding's Mansion. She has had no contact with General Shao's wife for several years."

"I know this." Su Yiqing said calmly, "But I think you still know something about General Shao's wife's past."

Haitang said: "Baitang doesn't dare to hide it. She really doesn't know, or maybe it's been a long time. Haitang has gone through many ups and downs, and some of them can no longer be remembered."

"You are quite a tight-lipped person." Su Yiqing chuckled, "I didn't misjudge the person at first. At this time, you can keep secrets for others. You are a very good person."

Haitang was wondering why Princess Ding said that, when suddenly, the curtain was opened.

When Haitang saw clearly the person standing in front of her, she stood up in surprise.

The person in front of her was plainly dressed, with only a jade hairpin, and she was dressed like an ordinary girl. She knew her, and she couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyi, why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Su Yiqing smiled, "You don't think I look like Princess Ding?"

"No, no." Haitang waved her hands hurriedly, and then felt that she should not act like this in front of Princess Ding, so she hurriedly put her hands down and knelt down, "Haitang has met Princess Ding and asked her to forgive me. Haitang didn't know before.

Princess status."

"Get up." Su Yiqing went up in person, helped Haitang up, and said, "Not to mention that those who don't know are not guilty, there is nothing wrong with your behavior, but it seems that I deliberately concealed my identity and talked to you, which seems inadequate.

Upright."

"No, it's Haitang who's rude." How dare Haitang say that as a princess.

Su Yiqing said warmly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I just want to ask you, Miss Haitang, what kind of person do you think I am?"

When Princess Ding asked her this question, Haitang didn't know how to answer. She was startled for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The princess' status is noble, and it is not something Haitang can evaluate."

Su Yiqing smiled and said, "It seems a bit insincere to say this. I just want to know what kind of person you think I am now based on just one or two encounters. Tell the truth."

How dare you tell the truth, Haitang thought to herself, let alone the princess, even if you are an ordinary person, unless you have a grudge, if you directly ask others, even if they are dissatisfied with this person, they will not dare to say it. She can only say: "Princess

He is a good man and has great kindness to Haitang?"

"Really?" Su Yiqing smiled again, "That's not what I want to hear. I just want to know, based on just a one-time relationship, do you think I am a person who is malicious to others? Oh, I shouldn't

If you ask this question, even if you really think so, you probably wouldn’t dare to say it. Let’s put it this way, I want to ask General Shao’s wife about it purely because I want to help General Shao’s wife.

I also had a relationship with General Shao's wife. If you believe what I said, tell me what you know about General Shao's wife. If you don't believe it, or you really don't know anything, you can now

Let's go. Since I haven't been here today, you can continue to live your life. I swear as Princess Ding that I will not be angry because I am not satisfied with what you said."

Haitang hesitated for a moment, not daring to look up at Princess Ding, and then said after a while: "Actually, Haitang really knows very little about General Shao's wife, but Haitang believes in Princess... It's nothing important. General Shao's wife taught Haitang how to sing."

At that time, there was really not much mention of the past, but there was one incident, and Haitang didn’t know if it had anything to do with the disappearance of General Shao’s wife.”

Su Yiqing said: "Tell me about it."

Haitang said: "It's like this. When General Shao's wife came to the song and dance hall, she couldn't come in and out at will, so Haitang sent things to a house for her several times, which were for a woman. I heard General Shao's wife said that it was her

My sister, but General Shao’s wife had originally warned her not to talk about it to anyone, so Haitang never dared to say it.”

Su Yiqing was not surprised, but she suddenly felt something was wrong. She remembered that Mrs. Quan had found out that Du Juan entered the song and dance studio to bury her relatives. If this was the case, then her only relative should die, so why would she let Haitang go?

What about giving something away? Thinking of this, she asked: "What does that woman look like?"

Haitang thought about it carefully and said: "When we met several times, the woman was always veiled, but once the veil was blown up by the wind, I saw that there seemed to be deep scars on the woman's face."

"What happens after?" Su Yiqing asked again, "After General Shao and his wife left the song and dance studio, what happened to the woman?"

Haitang thought again, "As far as I know, the woman still lived in that house after General Shao's wife left. Once I went to sing next door to the house and saw the woman, but not long after,

I also left that song and dance studio, and I don’t know what happened after that.”

Su Yiqing asked Haitang again about the address of her house.

Since Haitang had almost said everything, she might as well say it all, and then said a little uneasily: "Princess, if someone from Yancheng Prefecture calls me for questioning, what should I say?"

Su Yiqing said: "You can decide this yourself."

Finally, Haitang said again: "Haitang would like to thank the princess again for her great kindness."

Su Yiqing smiled lightly, "I don't have any kindness towards you. I sent you to Mrs. Quan Si's teahouse just because I wanted to get rid of all the singers and dancers in the house. I didn't deliberately think about you."

"No, Haitang knows that the princess has good intentions." Haitang's words are very sincere. If he can arrange it to such an extent, it cannot be said that the princess is in trouble.

Su Yiqing nodded, and without saying anything else, asked someone to send Haitang out.

After thinking about it for a while, she wanted to check it out, but if it was the person who entrusted the palace, she was a little worried, but did she have any other tolerance?

After thinking about it, I finally thought of someone.

…

The Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Princess Xiangshan greeted Su Yiqing warmly. She was very happy that the princess could come to her house as a guest, and ordered her servants to prepare a lot of snacks for her.

Su Yiqing didn't have much thought about tea and snacks, so she just chatted for a while.

Princess Xiangshan realized that Su Yiqing must have something to say, but it was difficult to say it in front of the servants, so she invited Su Yiqing to go for a walk in the garden.

After avoiding everyone, Su Yiqing stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "The princess must have noticed that I came to the house to disturb you because I have something to ask for."

"Princess has saved me. There is no way I can repay the kindness of rescuing my life. If you need anything, please tell me. I will never shirk." Princess Xiangshan had a boldness that ordinary women did not have, and immediately said that she would definitely help.

Su Yiqing then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want the princess to help me investigate someone. But this matter cannot be known to anyone. It has to be investigated quietly."
