When Hua'er saw that Princess Ning cared so much about her, she just hoped that Princess Ning would believe her words. In this case, she told Princess Ning her suspicions.
Before, she was just worried that the princess didn't believe what she said. Since she didn't believe it, there was no need to speak out. In the end, she might be the one being plotted against.
Therefore, she put up with the cake thing, and she also planned to put up with the hosta thing, but she didn't expect Princess Ning to care so much about her.
Seeing Hua'er's hesitation, Princess Ning asked hurriedly: "You said you will be arriving at the palace soon."
"Princess, actually I suspect that Qin'er did it." Hua'er said.
"What evidence do you have?" Princess Ning asked.
"My slave has no evidence, but one day, when I entered the room, I found Qin'er hiding something in front of my bed. I was a little curious, but did not expose it to my face. Later, after Qin'er left the house, I found Qin'er hiding something on the bed.
There is a charm hidden under it. The slave asked the old man in the house to ask, and found out that in addition to the spell, the slave's birthday was also written on it. The slave was timid and didn't know what to do." Hua'er said.
"Is there such a thing?" Princess Ning asked.
"Princess, the talisman is still under my bed. How dare you lie to me?" Hua'er said.
Princess Ning was doubtful. There was no need for Qin'er to do this. Why did she do such a cruel thing to Hua'er? Now the only maids in the yard were her and Hua'er. If something happened to Hua'er, she would be left alone.
How to take care of the trivial things in the yard? Besides, even if there is no Hua'er, the mother-in-law will choose someone else to come in, and she will not let her serve her alone.
However, when Hua'er saw Princess Ning's hesitation, she knew that she shouldn't tell the matter so easily. Princess Ning trusted her and she also trusted Qin'er. In this case, Princess Ning might have thought that she was jealous of Qin'er.
That's why Qin'er was framed.
"I know what you said. When you go back, show me the talisman." Princess Ning said.
"Yes, Princess." Hua'er said.
Hua'er didn't say anything else, because she could see that Princess Ning's hesitation was because Princess Ning did not completely trust her. Therefore, it would be meaningless to continue talking.
The carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and Hua'er helped Princess Ning get out of the carriage. After entering the yard, Qin'er was already guarding the door.
"The princess is finally back." Qin'er said after seeing the princess.
"What's wrong?" Princess Ning asked.
"I just came over personally and delivered two sets of new clothes. Madam asked you to try them on. If they don't fit, send them to Madam," Qin'er said.
"My mother-in-law said she had made clothes for me a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be done so quickly." Princess Ning said with a smile.
"Princess, why don't you go over and try it on now?" Qin'er said.
"Okay." Princess Ning said.
"Princess, it's time for this servant to go to the kitchen to make some medicine for you," Hua'er said.
"Go." Princess Ning said.
After Hua'er put the things given by the old lady back into the cabinet, he went to the small kitchen.
Princess Ning tried on the new clothes and they fit her very well. So, she went to the main courtyard in person. When she saw Madam, she said, "Concubine, Ning'er has already tried on the clothes, and they fit her very well."
"As long as Ning'er's clothes fit her well, there's no need to take them back and modify them. You go to the Princess's Mansion every day, why don't you persuade your grandmother to return to the Prince's Mansion?" the lady said.
"Mother, Concubine, Ning'er has tried to persuade her several times, but grandma still refuses to come back. It's the end of the year now, and I hope grandma can agree to return to the palace to celebrate the New Year," Princess Ning said.
"The old lady treats you differently now than before. I believe the old lady will listen to your advice," the lady said.
"Actually, my grandmother loves my eldest brother. My eldest brother only annoyed my grandmother because of me. Ning'er will definitely beg my grandmother to come back for my eldest brother's sake. Please don't worry, mother-in-law." Princess Ning said.
"My Ning'er is really sensible." Madam said with tears in her eyes.
Princess Ning didn't say much. She admitted that she was indeed a lot more sensible than before. But she would not forgive Yun Ying because Yun Ying's arrival made the palace so deserted. Although her grandmother had treated her well before,
It's not good, but I love my eldest brother very much. But who would have thought that my grandmother would be angry with my eldest brother and move into the princess's mansion? If it weren't for Yun Ying, my grandmother would definitely return to the mansion. If my grandmother lived in the prince's mansion, I'm afraid it would have been too early
The anger dissipated.
Therefore, all this is Yun Ying's fault.
After Princess Ning tried on the clothes, she returned to the courtyard. Hua'er was still busy in the small kitchen because she was boiling medicine. Qin'er walked to Princess Ning with tea.
Princess Ning took a sip of tea. She remembered what Hua'er said. She looked Qin'er up and down and wanted to ask Qin'er. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. She didn't know how to speak. What if it wasn't Qin'er?
Qin'er, isn't it true that she has wronged Qin'er. She needs Qin'er to help her deal with Yun Ying. If she accuses Qin'er wrongly at this time, she will definitely not help her wholeheartedly.
When Qin'er saw Princess Ning coming back, she was worried, so she asked: "Princess, did Madam say something just now?"
"My mother-in-law didn't say anything. She just told me to be careful with my words after entering the palace. However, haven't you noticed anything strange about the people in the courtyard these days?" Princess Ning asked.
"I didn't pay attention to it. I've just been feeling better these days. I just followed the princess to the princess's mansion in the morning. Because the princess was worried about the slave being exhausted, she also specifically asked the slave to get more rest. Therefore, she rarely went to the yard in the past few days.
Stay here." Qin'er said.
"It's strange that Hua'er's hosta was broken into pieces. These people are actually making trouble in my yard. They don't know whether to live or die," Princess Ning said.
"Hua'er came back with a hosta on her head, which is really too ostentatious. A few days ago, the lady sent a reward, but now even the old lady has given a hosta as a reward, so as not to arouse the jealousy of others. It is really difficult to find this person.
Easy. At that time, no one noticed when the hairpin on Hua'er's head disappeared." Qin'er said.
Princess Ning didn't panic at all when she saw Qin'er. It didn't look like Qin'er did it at all, but Hua'er had no reason to frame her. What was the truth of the matter? Just when Princess Ning was puzzled, Hua'er
Er walked in with the soup and medicine and said: "Princess, the medicine is ready. Drink it while it's hot."
"Thank you for your hard work. You followed me to the princess's mansion. When you come back, I want you to prepare the medicine for me." Princess Ning said.
"This is what a slave should do. It's not hard for a slave." Hua'er said.
"Princess, I think it's better to summon the slaves in the yard for questioning. If someone is lying, we will definitely be able to tell the clues." Qin'er said.
"Well, you are right. Go and summon them. After drinking the medicine, I will go and question them myself," Princess Ning said.
"Princess, I think it's better to forget it," Hua'er said.
When Hua'er was on the carriage, she had already told the princess that she suspected Qin'er did it, but the princess listened to Qin'er's words and summoned other servants for questioning. In this way, she understood that the princess believed Qin'er.
The princess didn't seem to believe what Hua'er said on the carriage just now. So Hua'er decided not to continue the investigation.
"Didn't I say it? This matter must be investigated clearly, and I must give you an explanation no matter what. You promised to continue the investigation before, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Princess Ning said.
"Princess, are you unwilling to believe your servant's suspicion on the carriage?" Hua'er continued.
"Qin'er, go and gather everyone to wait for me in the yard." Princess Ning said to Qin'er.
"Yes." Qin'er responded and left the room.
After Princess Ning sent Qin'er out, she said to Hua'er: "I believe your suspicion, but it is just a suspicion after all. I will investigate carefully, but I can't unjustly accuse her, can I?"
"I believe the princess understands what I mean. I have evidence to prove it, and that spell is the evidence. But you don't even look at it. Since you want to protect Qin'er, why do you spend so much effort to investigate?
"Hua'er said.
"Hua'er, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that everything needs to be verified. If there is no conclusive evidence, how can we bear her guilt?" Princess Ning said.
As soon as Princess Ning finished speaking, Qin'er walked in and said, "Princess, everyone is here. We're just waiting for Princess to go out and give a lecture."
"Yes, I understand." Princess Ning said.
Princess Ning drank the medicine and rinsed her mouth, then let Hua'er help her to the yard.
"I have met the princess." The servants in the yard said in unison.
"Well, I have summoned everyone today because I have something I want to ask. I hope you can answer truthfully. If I find someone lying, don't blame me for being rude to her." Princess Ning said.
The servants all knew how ruthless Princess Ning was, so naturally they did not dare to make a mistake. They lowered their heads and said in unison: "Yes."
Princess Ning gave Qin'er a wink, and Qin'er took a few steps forward and said, "Something happened in the yard these days. Because of the reward given by Madam and Old Madam, some people were jealous of Hua'er. So, in the cake,
Poisonous insects were released, and even the hosta given to Hua'er by the old lady was smashed to pieces. The princess hopes to find out the truth. If anyone thinks that someone is suspicious, it is best to report it to the princess immediately. Of course, if who did it
, please go to the princess to plead guilty. The princess will give you a lighter sentence if you violate the law. If you are caught by the princess, don’t blame the princess for not showing mercy to everyone."
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Qin'er looked at Princess Ning, who nodded towards her. After understanding this, Qin'er said to everyone: "Let's break up."
"yes."
After Princess Ning returned to the house, Qin'er quickly asked: "Hua'er, can you tell if any of them have any strange expressions?"
Hua'er shook his head and said calmly: "There is nothing unusual. Princess, if there is nothing else, I will go to the small kitchen to stew tonic for you."
Hua'er had just finished speaking and hurried to the kitchen before the princess could speak.
Qin'er looked very confused and asked: "Princess, did the old lady blame Hua'er?"
"Why did Qin'er suddenly ask like this?" Princess Ning asked.
"After I saw Hua'er coming back from the princess's mansion, my slave looked a little strange," Qin'er said.
"Hua'er told me about the hosta on the carriage. She might have some doubts in her heart, so she was reluctant to talk after she came back," Princess Ning said.
Qin'er hurriedly asked: "Does Hua'er know who did it? Princess, Hua'er has not allowed you to investigate. I'm afraid you really know who did it. I think it's better for you to have a good talk with Hua'er, maybe
