Niu Hesheng rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground, shaking his body and said: "The common people deserve to die! Please atone for your sins!"

"Let's talk about what's going on first." Li Zhao said as gently as possible.

Niu Hesheng was still lying on the ground, and said with a trembling voice: "Yes! Cao Min, Cao Min accidentally slipped and fell when he was passing by that bridge."

He stuttered when he spoke, and it seemed like he was lying. However, the matter involved Miss Ning San. Maybe Niu Hesheng lied to protect Ning San's reputation?

Li Zhao waved his hand and asked the people below to go out. Miss Meng went to take care of Miss Ning San. Song Qingyue stayed in the house. Li Zhao said to Niu Hesheng: "Please tell Mr. Niu the truth."

Niu Hesheng looked at Li Zhao hesitantly, and Li Zhao had to explain more clearly: "Tell me, I am the Crown Prince Su, and the girl who had the accident with you is my prince's cousin. I will always find out who wants to harm her."

Okay. So it’s okay, Mr. Niu, to tell the truth!”

Niu Hesheng was also a smart man. Seeing that he could not be fooled, now he knew that the girl in front of him was a cousin, so he said: "The grass people... came with the young master of the Xing family. After arriving, they followed the Xing family.

The young master ate three fried chicken legs together. At that time, there was a very good-looking maid who was very kind to the common people..."

"Did you see clearly what name was written on the name tag she wore?" Li Zhao asked.

"She, she didn't wear a breastplate, but the people asked her what her name was, and she said her name was Mo Mei, and she was a subordinate of the Crown Princess."

Song Qingyue said: "This can't be done, Mo Mei..." She suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence, and suddenly remembered that this morning Mo Mei said she had a bad stomach and asked for leave.

But obviously Li Zhao didn't believe that the maid in question was Song Qingyue, so he didn't explain.

Niu Hesheng continued: "The grass-roots people also felt that it was impossible. How could the maid of the Crown Princess stand there as a servant, so the grass-roots people were careful and did not dare to drink more of the juice she brought. However, I still drank a few sips before that. Then I

I felt a little dizzy, so the maid asked me to take me to a small courtyard to sober up. When I passed by the rockery, she pushed me into the cave..."

"Is there anyone inside?" Song Qingyue asked.

Niu Hesheng's face turned red with shame, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes, there is a girl inside. It seems that Cao Min has been drugged. Cao Min wanted to go out at that time, but the girl held him back and refused to let him go.

Cao Min left. Cao Min also realized that something was wrong with him at that time, so he wanted to run into the pool with all his strength. When he woke up, he lied that he had slipped and fell into the water..."

"So you didn't go with that girl...?"

"No, no! Nothing happened!" Niu Hesheng waved his hands desperately, with a panic look on his face: "It was the girl who followed me and jumped into the lotus pond. But when the grassroots saw that she couldn't swim, they swam over to save her. When they were about to land,

The girl was probably awake or something, and she punched the common people one by one... and knocked her unconscious..." Although Niu Hesheng was a little aggrieved, he still emphasized: "The common people didn't look around! They didn't hurt the girl either.

Except for being punched by that girl, I have never touched a hair of that girl! Your Highness, please be careful!"

As he spoke, he banged his head.

Li Zhao frowned, went over to help Niu Hesheng up, and sighed: "I can't blame you for this, but I have to thank you. If you hadn't been a little vigilant, I'm afraid that someone would really have plotted against my cousin."

At this time, someone came to report that Xiuzhu had been found. She was knocked unconscious and hid in the bushes. Now she was carried to the courtyard where Miss Ning San was resting.

Li Zhao pinched the bridge of his nose and had an intuition that this was something someone in the palace was doing. There couldn't be so many guards, and the secret guards were still taking advantage of the loopholes. This person must be very familiar with the villa.

He called Lin Wanfu in: "Let's find a place for Mr. Niu to stay first. It's our fault that Mr. Niu was innocently implicated this time. Take good care of him and don't neglect him!"

Lin Wanfu accepted the order, and Niu Hesheng was filled with fear and followed out with gratitude.

Song Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this young man had a quick mind and Miss Ning San's innocence had not been tainted. Now her stomach hurt again. Li Zhao helped her out and went to Ning Yueluo together.

The guest house where it is located.

In the room, Xiuzhu became angry when she saw Song Qingyue.

Mo Fan asked Xiuzhu what was going on. Xiuzhu shouted in a very rude manner: "What's going on? What's going on? I have to ask you the Crown Princess! My girl came over to play well, and a maid came over and said she was the Crown Princess.

Our girl came over to say a few words, but she insisted on asking me to go to the kitchen to get some snacks. I went to get some snacks, but was knocked unconscious and it hurt like hell!"

Meng Wanfeng immediately scolded: "How presumptuous! Are there any rules? Is this how you talk to Princess Su? Is this what your master taught you?"

She looked at Ning Yueluo displeased, and Ning Yueluo snorted, and looked at Song Qingyue with a very unfriendly look. She felt that all these messy things in this family were because of Song Qingyue.

If she hadn't become the Crown Princess, her second sister would have been the Crown Princess! As long as the second sister had become the Crown Princess, she wouldn't have caused chaos in the family, and her little aunt wouldn't have gone crazy and insisted that she go and help.

What kind of concubine does Li Yi want to be?

Everything was caused by this concubine of the Song family who suddenly appeared!

To put it bluntly, she also looked down on Song Qingyue a little, feeling that she was not worthy of being Li Zhao's concubine. She felt that Song San was able to ascend to the throne only because of his beauty and saving Li Zhao.

What made her even more dissatisfied was that although they were from similar backgrounds and Song Qingyue was the eldest concubine, her little aunt actually thought she could be a concubine for the second young master!

It's so ridiculous!

Song Qingyue didn't have time to answer why Miss Ning San was so displeased with her. She just sat down and asked: "Miss Ning San, I think you understand that the whole thing seems to be directed at you. You have to tell us what is going on.

What's going on? We finally have clues to find out who wants to harm you."

Seeing that Ning Yueluo was silent and didn't seem to want to open his mouth, Li Zhao also tried to persuade him: "Aluo, we are all our own people here, it doesn't matter."

Ning Yueluo glanced at Meng Wanfeng and said irritably: "Anyway, I didn't get hurt, so why don't we just pretend it didn't happen?"

Li Zhao shook his head: "No. What if that person tries again?"

"I just have to be careful!" Ning Yueluo was extremely irritable and her tone was harsh.

Li Zhao glanced at Meng Wanfeng and said, "Brother and sister, thank you for your help today. In this matter, just think that A Luo accidentally slipped and fell into the water."

Meng Wanfeng acted very reasonable at this time and said with a smile: "It should be so, then I will leave."

Song Qingyue saw that Ning Yueluo didn't want to see her, so she stood up and said, "I'll take you out." After that, she pulled Meng Wanfeng out.

The two stood at the door of the yard talking.

"I really want to thank you today. I'm really sorry that I got you involved in this trouble." Song Qingyue sighed.

Meng Wanfeng shook his head: "Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. Does your stomach still hurt?"

"One after another." Song Qingyue said helplessly with a bitter face.

"Then let's go back and rest." Meng Wanfeng said with a smile, "I hope nothing happens again tomorrow."

"Yeah, I hope nothing happens again tomorrow. I don't know what to thank you for. Tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and I'll tell the kitchen to treat you well." Song Qingyue seemed to be infected by Meng Wanfeng's smile.

, I felt more relaxed and started to laugh.

"Thank you very much. I'll take you back."

Meng Wanfeng helped Song Qingyue onto the shoulder carriage and accompanied her back to Wentao Courtyard. After another conversation, she left. There was an afternoon game at Linxi Pavilion, and she had to go back to help with the proceedings.

The game in the afternoon went smoothly without any trouble, except that the young master of the Xing family made a fuss after the game to find Niu Hesheng who had come with him.

So the story of Niu Hesheng accidentally falling into the water spread like this.

Li Zhao took advantage of this incident and gave Niu Hesheng two hundred taels of silver and some other things in a big way, as an apology for the mistakes of the people in the palace. Not only that, but later he heard that Niu Hesheng's family could not afford the money for him to continue studying.

When he gave up the scientific examination, he even proposed to him that the palace could sponsor him to continue his studies, and even get him a place to enter the Imperial College, and asked him if he was willing.

When Niu Hesheng heard this, he hesitated: "To be honest, the common people have already agreed to be Xing Zhuangyuan's master. No, they will probably start sending officials next year."

When Li Zhao heard this, he smiled and said: "It's not difficult. You might as well go directly to Xing Zhuangyuan and have a frank talk and ask for his opinion. You have won the title of scholar at the age of seventeen, so you must be talented."

Niu Hesheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed again: "The common people thank you for your love. Your Highness and the royal family's kindness will be unforgettable for the common people!"

When Song Qingyue heard what Li Zhao had done, she murmured in her heart, this man must be a wizard in the marketing world when he goes to Hyundai. Look at this operation, he has earned a lot of fame, it's like 666.

She was in good spirits in the afternoon and made three new pairs of underwear for Li Zhao. When Li Zhao came back, he laughed and said, "My wife is becoming more virtuous."

"That's right, I'm gentle and virtuous." Song Qingyue hummed twice, patted the bed board, motioned for Li Zhao to sit over, and asked, "What's going on with your cousin?"

Li Zhao sighed irritably and said, "It's probably the step-concubine who is taking revenge."

"Step-concubine? Are you talking about the princess in our house?" Song Qingyue was shocked, "Why? How could you harm your niece like this? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"She wanted Aluo to be a concubine for her second son, but Aluo refused. She became angry and wanted to take revenge. She asked Aluo to marry a poor bachelor and pick up a cow and a baby." Li Zhao said helplessly.

Song Qingyue frowned and didn't know what to say for a long time. He was simply a lunatic. How a person could have such a strong desire for revenge was simply incomprehensible.

Song Qingyue thought about it and attributed this incomprehensible revenge to being too busy and too rich, having no goals in life, and finally meeting a small goal, like a mad dog.

"Our princess also hates me. I never go to greet her. She won't... come to take revenge on me, right?" Song Qingyue looked scared.

"No, she doesn't dare. She doesn't dare to go directly to you blatantly. The most she can do is cause trouble for you like she did today."

After Li Zhao finished speaking, he also felt a little sorry. What do you mean by "at best, it's just adding to the chaos like today"?

Song Qingyue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "Can you find any evidence?"

Li Zhao shook his head: "It was handled very cleanly. Those who should have escaped have already escaped. I guess even if they are found, they will probably all be corpses."

"Then are you going to tell your uncle and grandma about this?"

"I must say that I have to ask my father to go to the Hou Mansion in person, at least to let my grandmother know the seriousness of the matter. We can't just let the step-concubine do whatever she wants. This time she has harmed the girl of the Hou Mansion!"
