He suppressed his anger and asked Mu Yun'an: "Just now you said you offended Concubine Rong at the banquet. What happened?"
Mu Yun'an then told the whole story of the incident. After hearing what she said, Xiao Chongjun became more and more convinced that Concubine Rong was deliberately taking revenge.
He asked again with a cold face: "Did you really see clearly that it was the maid next to Concubine Rong who lured you here?"
Mu Yun'an looked certain: "This is the palace maid. It was because I saw her beside Concubine Rong that I followed her without any suspicion.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trap. I also knew that I had offended Concubine Rong. I originally wanted to apologize to her and forget the grudge with a smile, but Concubine Rong actually wanted to kill me. Your Majesty, you have to save me."
"Witch."
Concubine Rong was so angry that all her self-cultivation was gone.
She pointed at Mu Yun'an and shouted hysterically: "Obviously it was Xiang Xiu who was next to the Queen, the one who lured you here, but you actually bite me?"
Mu Yun'an raised her eyebrows and imitated Concubine Rong's tone before: "Ah, I wonder how Concubine Rong knew that it was Xiangxiu who lured this princess here?"
Concubine Rong's expression changed after hearing these words, and then she realized that she had fallen into a trap!
Mu Yun'an looked at Concubine Rong's changed expression, then saluted Xiao Chongjun and said: "Your Majesty, it was indeed me who was just talking nonsense, and it was indeed Xiang Xiu, the maid next to the Queen, who led me here.
But before that, I only told the Prince Regent about this matter. None of the guards present knew the truth, and I wonder how Concubine Rong knew about it?"
Xiao Chengyi came forward and said, "Yes, Ah Lanyi just told me. When the Queen asked her about it, she didn't mention anything. It was just because she thought the matter was strange and was afraid that speaking out rashly would harm the Queen.
It’s just such a secret thing, I wonder how Concubine Rong learned about it?”
Concubine Rong had a pale face and her mind was a little confused. However, after all, she had been immersed in the palace for many years. She quickly calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, I heard what the palace people said. They said they saw Xiangxiu with three people.
The princess has entered the harem."
"Oh."
Mu Yun'an sneered: "What does this prove? Even if the palace people saw Xiangxiu leading the princess into the harem, how would you know that she brought the princess to the cold palace, not to see the queen?
Woolen cloth?
Could it be that the palace people you said saw with their own eyes that Xiangxiu led this princess to the Leng Palace? But what kind of place is the Leng Palace, Concubine Rong, you don’t know, right?
This place is located in a remote place. Apart from the patrolling guards, there are very few palace maids and eunuchs. I wonder which palace member has clairvoyance? Knowing that this princess was brought here, she went to report it to Concubine Rong, eh?"
Concubine Rong: "..."
She knelt down on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I was wronged. You heard from the third princess that it was the queen's maid who brought her here.
No matter how powerful I am, I can't control the people around the queen, right?"
Xiao Chengyi glanced at her and said: "You can't control me, but what if the Xiangxiu who brought A Lanyi here is not the real Xiangxiu?"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please let me lead people to search the palace and find the person pretending to be the palace maid Xiang Xiu."
Xiao Chongjun generally understood what happened, not to mention that this matter was of great concern. He wanted to see who was causing trouble in the palace.
