"I don't want to waste too much time. However, each of you has a chance to tell which of the maids and eunuchs on duty in Fengqing Palace is the most suspicious. If you can't find the suspicious person, it's no big deal. I can send you
Everyone will be executed together." Dugu Cheng sat at the head of the table, scanning the people kneeling there with indifferent eyes.
Everyone's face was pale and they were sweating profusely. They all responded in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Xiao Qingzi, you speak first!" Dugu Cheng named the eunuch first.
"I often come in and out of Fengqing Palace, and usually stay outside the palace on weekdays. If someone really does something strange, I think Xiao He and Xiao Ju are the biggest suspects." Xiao Qingzi replied calmly and calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gave up their positions, and it was Xiao He and Xiao Ju who turned pale with fright.[
"Xiao He and Xiao Ju, come out." Dugu Cheng looked at the two palace ladies.
"Slave, I'm wrong. I don't dare to poison my concubine, given my great courage. She usually treats her slaves very well and never punishes her. If she can meet such a good master, she will only be able to serve her well. She will never
You dare to have any evil intentions." Xiaoju kowtowed towards Dugu City and said repeatedly.
Xiao He's reaction was calmer. She looked at Xiao Ju and said, "After hearing what Xiao Qingzi said, I also felt that Xiao Ju was suspicious. Xiao Ju often asked about the Queen's affairs, and was very enthusiastic. For example, what does the Queen like to eat and what flowers are her favorite?
, and where you like to go for a walk, I often ask about these.”
"Really? Xiaoju, is this serious?" Dugu Cheng looked at the shivering Xiaoju and asked quietly.
"The slave really likes to inquire about the mistress. Because the empress treats the slaves kindly, the slave wants to know some of the master's preferences so that he can serve the master better. The slave swears to God that she has no evil intentions towards the master, let alone dares to do anything to the master.
Poison, otherwise the sky will strike like lightning and you will die!" Xiaoju wiped away her tears casually, and when she got excited, she became more and more excited and looked directly into Dugu Cheng's eyes and replied.
Dugu Cheng nodded, looked at Xiao Qingzi and asked, "How is Xiaoju usually doing?"
"She is quite diligent. To be sincere, I like Xiaoju very much. I told her that Xiaoju is considerate and sensible. She knows her preferences and will not bother her for no reason." Xiao Qingzi replied truthfully.
"That's right, my mother is very clear about love and hate. After Xiao Qingzi reminded me of this case, it will be easier to investigate." Dugu Cheng nodded, suddenly having a better idea.
