Chapter 77: Surprised by the whereabouts of the two maidservants
Autumn is in full bloom.
Early the next morning, Bai Qiqian woke up and heard a violent cough.
She looked at Ye Liyuan worriedly: "Yuan, when did you catch the cold?"
Ye Liyuan smiled, with a flash of panic in his eyes: "Qianqian, it's still early, please rest a little longer."
Bai Qiqian sat up and looked at Ye Liyuan firmly: "Yuan, tell me what's going on with your body and the medicine Mrs. Qiu Jin gave you..."
Didn’t you say that you take the antidote every day?
Ye Liyuan said in a low voice: "Qianqian, don't worry, I take the antidote every night. However, this antidote has side effects. Well, it's just like being infected with cold."
Bai Qiqian still looked at Ye Liyuan with some worry: "How could there be such a strange poison in the world?"
Ye Liyuan played with her black hair in his hands and said evilly: "The world is so big, there are many exotic flowers and plants."
Bai Qiqian sighed in her heart, she didn't know when this life would end.
After freshening up, she returned to Suoqing Hall.
After all, nothing is locked in the Suoqing Palace. Things and people have changed, and even the two little maids Yujin and Ziyuan don't know where they went. Returning to this familiar place again feels like a lifetime ago.
Bai Qiqian sat in the room and asked the maids around her: "What's your name?"
The little maid looked at Bai Qiqian with surprise and said, "Back to the princess, my name is Cai'er."
Cai'er? Bai Qiqian suddenly had some impression, her face was as calm as water: "Cai'er, have you served the former princess before?"
Cai'er nodded. She had served the former princess before, but the princess at that time was very cowardly and jumped into the water in the palace. At first, Cai'er thought she was dead, but the princess came back to life later.
, Cai'er stopped taking care of her.
Cai'er was afraid that the new princess wouldn't like her very much, so she quickly said: "My servant served the former princess for a short period of time. After that, it was Yu Jin and Ziyuan who served the former princess."
Bai Qiqian whispered: "Oh, that's it. Do you know where Yujin and Ziyuan went?"
Seeing that Bai Qiqian's attention was not on this matter, Cai'er was quite happy: "Since the death of the former princess, Yujin was sold by Concubine Lin, and Ziyuan was taken away by Concubine Liu.
"
Bai Qiqian narrowed her eyes, Lin Huanger, how dare you sell the jade brocade?
There was a strong murderous look in his eyes, which shocked Cai'er who was kneeling on the ground. Was it an illusion just now? How could the princess have such a terrifying expression.
Bai Qiqian glanced at Cai'er: "I am somewhat interested in the two maids of the former princess. Haha, where was Ziyuan taken by Concubine Liu?"
Looking at this face that was exactly the same as the former princess, Cai'er shuddered in her heart.
She wanted to please Bai Qiqian, so she naturally told her about Ziyuan: "Princess, Ziyuan was first brought to her own palace by Concubine Liu. Later, she heard that Ziyuan had done something wrong and was sent to Eunuch Gao.
"
Eunuch Gao, the eunuch. She actually delivered Ziyuan to the eunuch.
The smile on Bai Qiqian's face gradually widened, but the murderous aura hidden in her eyes became stronger and stronger. She had always been like this, the angrier she was, the brighter the smile on her face.
Cai'er said while paying attention to Bai Qiqian's expression.
As she expected, the princess was very happy when she heard the news that Ziyuan was not doing well.
Cai'er added jealously and said, "Princess, do you want to go see Ziyuan?"
Bai Qiqian stood up: "Of course I want to see her."
Cai'er said flatteringly: "Princess Rong, let's wait for now. Cai'er will go and make arrangements." The princess definitely didn't want to see Ziyuan. If she gave Eunuch Gao a few more words then, she would definitely let the princess see Ziyuan's miserable appearance.
An excited smile appeared on Cai'er's face.
Bai Qiqian saw that smile directly in her eyes, and she said coldly: "No need to arrange, I will go directly."
She was still very familiar with this palace.
However, she did not expect that Liu Xinmei would have such cruel thoughts and would not even spare her maid.
In Zangxin Tower, Liu Xinmei stood in front of the building, staring at Ye Liyuan's bedroom.
There was a hint of infatuation in his eyes.
The maid next to her kindly comforted her: "My dear concubine, it's windy here, so you'd better go inside."
Liu Xinmei's face darkened: "Go back to the house? What if the prince comes over?"
Seeing Liu Xinmei's fierce look, the little maid couldn't help but take two steps back, but she still comforted her and said: "Concubine, when the prince comes, the maids will naturally come into the house to report."
Liu Xinmei stepped forward and slapped the little maid hard: "What did you say? Will you report it to me? Humph, you cheap hooves, don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
The little maid was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and said, "Mother, my maid is wrong. I beg you to spare my life."
Seeing her timid appearance, Liu Xinmei became even more angry: "I haven't said anything to you yet, but you said you were wrong. Humph, you just have something in your mind, saying, who are you?
Someone sent me to my side?"
The little maid was so frightened that she burst into tears: "Concubine, this maid is not sent here by anyone, this maid..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Xinmei: "If you weren't sent here by someone else, then you yourself want to seduce the prince? Well, I didn't expect you to hide such thoughts."
The little maid didn't dare to open her mouth to refute, as the more she said, the more mistakes she made.
Seeing her silence, Liu Xin was furious: "You acquiesced? Hum, you bitch, I have to send you to Eunuch Gao today."
When she heard Eunuch Gao's name, the little maid's eyes suddenly widened with horror.
She cried and grabbed Liu Xinmei's clothes and knelt at her feet: "No matter how I punish my servant, I will have no complaints as long as I don't send my servant to Eunuch Gao."
Liu Xinmei kicked the little maid away: "You bitch, you have soiled my clothes."
The little maid kowtowed and bled: "My Majesty, I have mercy on you. Please don't send me to Eunuch Gao. I will repay you even if I work like a cow or a horse."
Liu Xinmei turned around and walked towards the house.
After giving instructions to the guards guarding the door, the two people walked towards the little maid, with a bit of pity in their eyes.
The little maid watched them approaching gradually, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.
Eunuch Gao was an eunuch specially sent by Queen Liu Xinyan to take care of her sister Liu Xinmei.
Ever since Liu Xinmei saw Eunuch Gao's methods, Liu Xinmei specially allocated a yard to Eunuch Gao.
Now, Eunuch Gao is living quite proudly in the yard.
Bai Qiqian walked towards Eunuch Gao's yard. Before she reached the door, she saw two guards pushing a maid towards this side. The maid had tears on her face, her expression was sad, and her eyes were empty.
And sluggish.
The moment the maid saw Bai Qiqian, her face shone with light: "Please, Princess, please save this maid."
Bai Qiqian gestured to Cai'er beside her.
Cai'er said loudly: "Stop, the princess has something to ask you."
The two guards looked at each other, then walked to Bai Qiqian's side and saluted respectfully.
Bai Qiqian ignored them and asked the little maid directly: "What happened to you? You asked me to save you."
The little maid sobbed and said: "Concubine Liu is going to give her maid to Eunuch Gao. Please ask the princess to save her. Even if she has to work like a cow or a horse, she will repay the favor."
After saying that, the little maid knelt down in front of Bai Qiqian and looked at her pitifully.
It was sent to Eunuch Gao again.
Bai Qiqian asked: "Who is Eunuch Gao in this palace? Even if the maids and maids did something wrong, they should be sent to the execution hall. Why is there another Eunuch Gao now?"
Cai'er said: "Princess, Eunuch Gao came from the palace to serve Concubine Liu."
The little maid sobbed and said: "Princess, Eunuch Gao, he...he..."
Bai Qiqian said coldly: "I don't have the patience to listen to you crying here. Please tell me quickly. Is it possible that he has three heads and six arms and makes you so scared?"
The little maid held back her tears and said, "Princess, Eunuch Gao likes to strip the maids of their clothes and then beat them with a whip."
Bai Qiqian's eyes were cold. Is there really such a perverted eunuch in this palace?
Then Ziyuan...
Bai Qiqian couldn't imagine how Ziyuan would be treated in the hands of Eunuch Gao.
She glanced at the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, there's no need to go to Eunuch Gao's place."
The little maid was overjoyed: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."
One of the guards was very arrogant because his master was Liu Xinmei.
Although the person standing in front of him was the princess, he didn't believe that the princess dared to offend Liu Xinmei. He said angrily: "Princess, send her to Eunuch Gao, but Concubine Liu told her."
Bai Qiqian looked at him with a normal expression: "So what?"
Seeing Bai Qiqian's expression as normal, the guard really thought that Bai Qiqian was afraid of Liu Xinmei: "The princess has rashly changed the concubine's decision now, and it's hard for her subordinates to explain her."
Bai Qiqian narrowed her eyes: "This is my order, it's not her turn to ask questions yet."
The guard was not convinced and continued: "Princess, are you afraid that this is not good?"
Bai Qiqian glanced at them coldly: "It's not your turn to teach me what I want to do, so why don't you go back quickly?"
The guard wanted to say something more, but another guard quickly tugged on his clothes.
The two people turned around and walked towards Liu Xinmei's main hall.
The man said: "You really don't want to live anymore? How dare you offend the princess."
The extremely arrogant guard asked fearfully: "What's wrong?"
The guard said: "You don't know that yesterday, on the first day when the princess entered the palace, she punished Concubine Lin in the wedding hall and made some remarks that hurt Concubine Liu."
The guard suddenly felt a cold wind on his back: "Can she be more powerful than Concubine Liu?"
