After Aunt Liu left, the old princess asked Aunt Li to take care of things for her.

There are several nuns who follow the old princess, but she trusts her the most. Therefore, only nanny Li serves the old princess, while the other nuns only help in charge of the dean. servant.

"do you understand?"

Aunt Li nodded: "I understand, old lady, I'll do it right now."

Aunt Li left the old princess's yard quietly.

In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, a burst of movement woke up a few people who were sleeping lightly.

Huo Weilou woke up the moment he heard the noise.

He and Shen Xinyue reviewed the case until late at night. Not long after they closed their eyes, someone made a commotion outside.

Huo Weilou was still a little angry and resentful.

Shen Xinyue felt Huo Weilou stand up, rubbed her eyes and sat up. Soon, she also heard the movement outside.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xinyue didn't get much rest these days. She finally fell asleep and was woken up again.

She still couldn't open her eyes, but in order to wake herself up, Shen Xinyue patted her cheek hard.

Huo Weilou held her wrist: "Don't hit yourself like that."

"What's the noise outside?" Shen Xinyue looked outside, but the doors and windows were closed, so she couldn't see anything.

"I'll go take a look." Huo Weilou quickly put on his robe, and his long hair hung straight down his head. Suddenly, he did not take care of himself as handsome and neat as usual.

When Shen Xinyue looked at Huo Weilou's appearance, she suddenly thought of the long-haired handsome man she had only seen in comics before. She thought that now she could also see a real person.

Shen Xinyue was not to be outdone and quickly dressed up.

The two of them left the house one after another. Si Qi, who was in the side room, also woke up leisurely at this time. He was shocked when he saw his two masters leaving the room. He didn't care and went out directly. .

When Shen Xinyue saw Si Qi coming over in a hurry, she quickly waved her hand to signal her to stop: "Si Qi, it's cold at night, please put on your clothes before you come out!"

"I'm sorry, Princess! Si Qi will be fine soon!" Si Qi ran back to the side room in a hurry, put on his clothes as fast as he could, and came to Shen Xinyue's side.

"Xuan Ying, tell me." Huo Weilou stood at the door of the courtyard. There was nothing in front of him, but he asked Xuan Ying.

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Ying arrived in front of Huo Weilou and knelt down on one knee: "Back to the prince, it was Aunt Li next to the old lady who caught the maid next to Shen Fengjiao who was about to escape."

"lead the way."

"yes!"

Xuan Ying walked in front, Huo Weilou looked calm and stepped to follow.

"Let's go there too." Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to follow Huo Weilou with her.

In fact, she has a selfish motive.

With Huo Weilou in front, she would not be afraid no matter what the scene was, because she knew that Huo Weilou would protect her.

Several people came to Shen Fengjiao's room.

The man has been caught and tied to a stool.

"I have met the prince! Princess!" Everyone saluted.

Ning Tongzhou and other people from Dali Temple have also arrived.

But they were all bleary-eyed and had been pulled up in their sleep.

"Whose person is he? And who captured him?" Huo Weilou asked directly.

Ning Tongzhou saluted and said: "It was Nanny Li who was beside the old lady. When she got up at night, she found that Shen Fengjiao's accompanying maid was carrying a bag of money in the middle of the night and was preparing to escape. She stepped forward and caught the maid, but there was too much movement. A lot of people woke up."

"Oh?" Huo Weilou looked over calmly.

That maid was not unfamiliar to him.

Although he didn't know the maids in the palace, he probably remembered their faces after serving them for many years.

This maid has always been in the palace before.

"Tell me, who do you belong to?" Huo Weilou sat on the chair, face to face with the coat.

When was this little maid interrogated by Huo Weilou?

It was as if her story had been told immediately. "My slave... I am the maid next to Miss Shen. I have been serving Miss Shen these days."

Huo Weilou said straightforwardly: "You are the maid of the palace, not hers."

"This slave has grown up in the palace since she was a child and has always been a maid in the palace. But when Miss Shen first came to the palace, the old lady arranged for me to serve Miss Shen."

Huo Weilou understood that this was the old princess's person.

As the person who "caught" this maid, Grandma Li became a little anxious when she saw that Huo Weilou and Ning Tongzhou had not yet convicted the maid.

She quickly said: "Your Majesty, this maid must be feeling guilty if she wants to escape at this time! Otherwise, why would she leave Baoyun Temple at night?"

Now everyone is here except the old princess. Even Lan Qingruo came over with the support of the maid, looking like a sickly beauty.

But both Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue knew that she was pretending.

Shen Fengjiao was also escorted over by people from Dali Temple at this time.

Seeing Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao's tears immediately fell.

"mother!"

"Jiaojiao! You have suffered! Mom will definitely save you. You are not the murderer!" Aunt Liu's already red and swollen eyes were now a little redder.

Aunt Liu wanted to rush forward and hug Shen Fengjiao, but was stopped by people from Dali Temple.

Because the maid was caught just trying to escape, it did not prove that she was the one who drugged the incense. Therefore, Shen Fengjiao is still a suspect.

Xuan Ying thought of something, came to Huo Weilou's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, when Grandma Li arrested the maid, our people helped her."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly.

Naturally, it was impossible for his secret guards to help Grandma Li without his order, so the person who helped Grandma Li must be the person he placed in Dali Temple.

More details can only be told by Dali Temple. Xuan Ying did not see the arrest.

Aunt Li was still saying: "Your Majesty, she is definitely related to Mi Xiang's matter!"

Ning Tongzhou patted his subordinate on the shoulder and motioned for him to tell all this.

The man saluted and cupped his hands.

"Reporting to the prince, Aunt Li and I found unused incense in this girl's purse, but it was broken into several pieces. Preliminary identification shows that these incense are the same as the incense ashes in Miss Shen's room. Plant the fragrance."

Grandma Li lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she has accomplished what the old princess ordered.

"She wanted to escape with the incense and money. It must be because she harmed Mrs. Lan. Seeing the adults of Dali Temple investigating the case, she felt guilty and was afraid that something would happen. That's why what happened tonight." Aunt Li said plausibly.

Huo Weilou didn't speak, but quietly pondered every word they said.

"The evidence is here, do you have anything else to say?" Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

The maid glanced at Nanny Li, gritted her teeth, and her heart skipped a beat. For the sake of her family, she resolutely pointed the finger at Shen Xinyue!

"Yes, I was the one who planted the misty fragrance!"

"It's just that the person I want to harm is not Mrs. Lan, but the princess!"

"Mrs. Lan treats our servants very well. She never blames us. Even if she is punished, it is always a small punishment or a big warning."

"But Princess!" The maid's eyes showed resentment. If her hands were not tied, she might have pointed at Shen Xinyue's nose and cursed.

"The princess fined me a year's wages before! She also made me go from the dining room to the laundry room!"

"A year's salary! How can I live with this? In the middle of winter, I work in the laundry room every day doing laundry for the adults in the house. My hands are covered with chilblains! But I can't even buy an ointment!"

"I just hate the princess! For this reason, I feel grudged against her, and finally I found an opportunity to take revenge!"

"I was the one who planted Mixiang, and I also found those two fools. They originally wanted to taint the princess, and wanted to see her divorced and her status lower than mine from now on!"

"I didn't expect that these two idiots even got the wrong room!"

"Hahaha, princess, you will be punished for treating your servants so harshly!"

The maid went crazy and cursed angrily.

Just as Huo Weilou was about to take action, Shen Xinyue grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

"Dangerous building, this matter is not simple." Shen Xinyue shook her head slightly.

When Shen Xinyue was scolding her, Shen Xinyue carefully recalled what had happened since her marriage to Huo Weilou.

It had not been long since she had accepted the affairs of the palace, and it was even more unusual for her to treat her servants harshly.

Shen Xinyue will punish her servants, but she will definitely not punish her with a year's wages at once.

Most of the servants in the palace rely on their wages to support their families. It stands to reason that one month's wages are enough for a family of three to provide food and clothing for this month.

What's more, several masters in the palace would often reward them with some money out of joy.

Especially those who come to the palace to work as maids, they can only support their own parents and have no children.
