Xiang'er knelt on the ground and said nothing. Ling Feng, who escorted him over, said: "My subordinates were ordered to keep an eye on every move in Minghua Palace and found that this palace lady was sneaky and wanted to bribe the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau and wanted to leave the palace."
Mu Yunan stared at Xiang'er and asked, "Do you have any grudge against Princess Qinghe?"
A flash of anger flashed across Xiang'er's eyes. She held her hands tightly and remained silent.
Mu Yun'an was not in a hurry. She asked Xiao Yunchu, "Do you recognize her?"
Xiao Yunchu said: "I recognize her. She used to serve Ling'er, and she was very clever in doing things, which made Ling'er happy.
But later, for some unknown reason, Ling'er demoted her to cleaning the courtyard and stopped letting her serve around him.
I also asked about it, but Ling'er only said that she made a mistake and was punished, and I didn't care at the time."
Mu Yun'an raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Xiang'er's plot to harm Yan Ruoling must be related to that punishment.
She narrowed her eyes: "Let me guess, what were you punished for? And you still hold a grudge because of it, even if you kill two people?"
She touched her chin, looked at Yan Jingxuan and asked, "Brother, do you recognize this palace maid?"
Yan Jingxuan was stunned when she asked: "There are so many women in the palace, how can I remember them clearly?"
After hearing this, Xiang'er suddenly raised his head excitedly: "How could your Majesty not remember this slave? You also praised my slave for making good tea and said that my slave has a pair of skillful hands. Have you forgotten that?"
Yan Jingxuan frowned. He thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was such a thing, but it was just a casual comment.
Mu Yun'an said: "Go and call the maid serving Princess Qinghe to ask questions."
Not long after, a palace maid who often served Princess Qinghe was brought.
Mu Yunan asked her: "Did this Xiang'er do anything unusual before he was punished by the princess?"
The palace maid replied: "Yes, Xiang'er has been dressing up in all kinds of ways for a while, and is bossy and doesn't take us seriously. Sometimes she doesn't care when serving the princess."
Mu Yun'an nodded, looked at Xiang'er and said: "If my guess is correct, the princess has seen your thoughts, so she demoted you to a rough servant maid, right? And you hold a grudge for this.
, while His Majesty and others are not in the palace, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, am I right?"
Xiang'er gritted her teeth and suddenly cursed: "It's her who deserves to die, she's the one who blocked my path to wealth and glory, preventing me from seeing the Holy Face.
His Majesty obviously praised me for my dexterity and said that I made good tea. It was clear that His Majesty was interested in me, but Princess Qinghe blocked my good deeds and ruined my good deeds. She also demoted me to a rough servant and a palace maid, allowing me to ruin my good deeds.
With such hands, shouldn’t she die?”
Yan Jingxuan's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He slammed the table and said, "Nonsense. I don't even know who you are. When did I become interested in you?
I think you are crazy and want to fly up a branch and become a phoenix."
He never expected that it would be his inadvertent words of praise that harmed his sister.
Xiang'er said: "Your Majesty, you obviously like the tea made by Xiang'er, and you have obviously praised Xiang'er's tea."
Yan Jingxuan had a gloomy face: "Madman, what a madman."
He was afraid that Xiao Yunchu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Chu Chu, don't listen to her nonsense, I really don't."
"I know."
Xiao Yunchu held his hand and said, "This palace maid is crazy about wanting to be a palace concubine. She thinks Ling'er is blocking her way."
Xiang'er said: "That's her. She lost her husband and became an unwanted woman. She didn't want others to have a better time.
It's a joke to say it was for my own good. I only regret that the fall didn't kill her and the evil seed in her belly."
"presumptuous!"
Yan Jingxuan cursed angrily, pointed at her and said, "I never thought there would be such a vicious woman in the palace. Someone pull her down and kill her with a cane!"
