Chapter 194 The people from Tingliyuan are recruiting
Lihua's peach blossom eyes were slightly opened, and she was surprised to see inside. This big cat had such a high status in the palace, even Zhang Defa had to respect it.
But the few times she met this big cat before, he was very well-behaved, right?
Lihua's mouth went dry when she saw Zhang Defa's persuasion, and Wu Xue licked her hair slowly and leisurely. This scene was very funny, as if the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was.
She couldn't hold it back anymore and walked to the side of the palace to watch the play.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, Wu Xue stopped licking her fur and stood up to look at her.
Zhang Defa thought Wu Xue was going to hurt someone, so he stopped him nervously: "Wu Xue, no, the trial hasn't been completed yet!"
He was afraid that Wu Xue would take revenge for Wu Meiren.
Lihua glanced at Zhang Defa and saw what this damn eunuch said. Could it be that he could do anything to her after the trial?
She silently made a note in her mind and looked down at Wu Xue with a slightly evil look in her eyes.
The next scene shocked Zhang Defa.
Wu Xue shrank her ears, quickly took two steps to the side, and stayed close to the door.
Lihua walked directly out of the door, smiled lightly at him, and looked back at the palace attendant: "Eunuch, isn't the Queen Mother summoning you? Let's go."
Wu Xue automatically followed Lihua, and when she reached Lihua, she stopped and looked back.
Everyone and the cat looked at the palace man.
But the palace man came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly trotted forward to guide Lihua, looking at Wu Xue in fear from time to time.
Zhang Defa was petrified on the spot, and he madly suspected that he was hallucinating.
In this life, he has seen Wu Xue listen to three people. The first one is the emperor, and the remaining two are the queen mother and Anding Wang Yuchixu.
Wu Xue is very cold towards everyone else. The innate blood of the beast king makes Wu Xue not easy to surrender to others.
Zhang Defa pinched himself and said "ouch", realizing that the man and the cat who had gone away were still there.
Wu Meiren seemed to be talking to Wu Xue, and Wu Xue shook her hair and followed her leisurely.
Zhang Defa thought it was over, Wu Xue not only failed to guard the side hall, but was also kidnapped by the suspect. What should we do?
He remembered his errand, patted his head, and hurried to follow.
Lihua asked: "Maoqiu, why are you following me? Do you want to be stroked?"
Wu Xue shook her hair subconsciously and looked at Lihua with a dissatisfied "Ouch" sound.
Lihua wanted to laugh a little and continued: "I haven't moved the bed, so you don't have to follow me."
Being followed by a cat is really ostentatious. What does it look like when the Queen Mother sees it? What will the monster think when she turns around and sees it?
Wu Xue's cat whiskers moved, and she was satisfied that the white jade bed was still there, but she still followed.
When they walked outside the main hall, Wuxue was still following her. Lihua had no choice but to say that he would not get in her way later, and then gave up.
Wu Xue thought carefully for a while with its round head and understood.
One person and one cat walked into the main hall, one behind the other.
However, when Wu Xue stepped into the main hall, she flashed and quietly went to an inconspicuous corner to stay, guarding the pear blossoms without hindering them.
When Lihua entered the main hall, she clearly felt the atmosphere was solemn, and the Queen Mother's majestic and scrutinizing gaze fell directly on her, which made people feel even more stressed.
Zhou Yuzhen stood on the side of the hall, glanced at her slightly when she came in, and immediately moved away.
Lihua was thoughtful, bowed forward, and silently knelt to the other side.
After being delayed by Wu Xue, she was late.
Linglong, who is more advanced than her in the main hall, is talking at the moment.
Linglong was panicked and kept shaking her head: "... Impossible, it can't be Wu Meiren. Even though the master asked Wu Meiren to change her name many times, Wu Meiren is still gentle and polite, and she never gets offended. But there is a time..."
She seemed to suddenly notice that Pear Blossom had come in, and quickly shut up, looking hesitant.
The Queen Mother frowned when she heard that Wu Fang'er forced Lihua to change her name because they sounded similar.
Later, I felt that this happened to Wu Fang'er and it was completely normal.
But this matter is intriguing.
Seeing that Linglong suddenly stopped talking, the Queen Mother said unhappily: "Keep talking!"
Linglong then said: "One time, the master chased Wu Meiren to change her name and sprained her foot. When he came back, he said that Wu Meiren had harmed her, but the slave had never seen it with her own eyes and did not dare to comment."
Lihua knew clearly in her heart that she was asking Linglong what she thought of her killing Wu Fang'er.
It was at this time that Zhang Defa entered the palace.
After entering the palace, he subconsciously looked around Lihua, but he didn't notice that Wu Xue was relieved.
He walked forward and bowed shyly.
The Queen Mother was in a mess. When she saw Zhang Defa coming, her first reaction was to look behind him.
Not seeing the emperor, he waved his hand with both disappointment and relief, asking Zhang Defa to step aside and stay out of the way.
The reason for the disappointment is that the Queen Mother did not see the emperor and she did not say anything about it on weekdays, but she still thought about it in her heart.
I am relieved that Wu Fang'er is not important to the emperor enough to come in person, but after all, Zhang Defa cares about it, so it would be better to feel less sad.
Lihua has different ideas about Zhang Defa's arrival.
This chief eunuch should have been called here by the chief emperor.
Others couldn't see her counterattack, and she was worried that the emperor could.
But she was really just fighting back. If the monster is so smart, could he also see that she was wronged?
But what if you would rather kill by mistake than let go?
Pear Blossom's thoughts are flying.
Speaking of this moment, the Queen Mother looked at her: "Wu Meiren, is there anything the palace lady said?"
Zhang Defa stood in front of the hall like an invisible man, below Aunt Qin, standing with Aunt Li.
He looked like he was staying out of the situation, observing everyone's reaction.
Lihua ignored his gaze and simply admitted: "Returning to the Queen Mother, it is indeed true. It is true that Wu Meiren chased me to change my name, and it is true that I caused her to sprain her foot."
The Queen Mother was stunned: "How to say?"
Lihua said guiltily: "If I hadn't walked too fast, Wu Meiren wouldn't have fallen down while chasing her without seeing the road clearly, so it was my concubine who hurt her."
The Queen Mother said "Oh", this is the harm.
She asked again: "Zhou Cairen saw you and Xiao Chan meeting each other this afternoon, and heard Xiao Chan talk about doing things for you. Is this true?"
Linglong's eyes flashed, she was right in her bet, Zhou Cai and Wu Meiren were not getting along with each other.

Lihua thought that her good cousin did not disappoint her.
She raised her head and said calmly: "That's also the case."
The Queen Mother's brows suddenly furrowed.
Lihua then looked at Zhou Yuzhen and smiled faintly: "Cousin, Xiaochan said a lot of things to me, including the words about being a cow and a horse. Since you heard it, why didn't you tell the empress?"
The Queen Mother looked sharply at Zhou Yuzhen.
Zhou Yuzhen suddenly panicked and said quickly: "I was far away at the time and didn't hear everything clearly. I only heard one or two sentences."
Lihua suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that my cousin heard the words "Be a cow and a horse for me" without hearing anything else clearly.
She turned her head and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything. I have told the old lady in charge of the punishment department the details of my meeting with Xiao Chan. There should be records, and I ask you to take a look." p>
Aunt Qin took the opportunity to hand over Lihua’s confession.
The Queen Mother said softly "Hmm", lowered her head and squinted her eyes to read.
The situation is a bit confusing now. I thought that Xiaochan was uneducated and what he said in the letter was false.
But soon Zhou Cairen arrived and provided new clues. She once saw Xiaochan kneeling and said that she would do things for Lihua and repay Lihua.
Then I learned about the name change from Linglong, so Lihua and Wu Meiren were not without fault.
Now Lihua admitted personally that Xiaochan wanted to repay her, but then she discovered that Zhou Yuzhen had not seen the whole picture and was hiding something.
The Queen Mother put down her confession, thought for a while and said: "The most important thing now is to find out. Xiaochan is illiterate. Where did the suicide note come from?"
She ordered: "Let someone identify the handwriting on the suicide note and see who else in the palace has similar handwriting to this. And quickly find out who the maid pretending to be from Zhuang Ning Palace is."
Aunt Li agreed and exited the hall.
Linglong was shocked, her face suddenly turned white, and no one noticed her because she lowered her head.
After Wu Fang'er was declared a beauty, she punished Xiao Chan to do the hardest and most tiring work.
Xiaochan is not a talkative person. She just works in silence on weekdays. Linglong has no way of knowing that Xiaochan is illiterate.
When Linglong came in just now, she was immediately asked about what was written in the suicide note. No one mentioned that Xiaochan was illiterate.
Fortunately, she didn't say anything nonsense, otherwise she would have been exposed.
And the maid who invited Lihua to Jinghong Palace was seen by someone?
Didn’t she tell anyone except Wu Meiren not to let anyone see it?
Linglong's heart was beating wildly, and she pinched her palms to comfort herself. She was not afraid, she had other preparations.
As long as the palace maid follows her instructions and cleans up the clothes of Zhuang Ning Palace, there will be a turn for the better.
As soon as Linglong finished comforting herself, a palace official in charge of the punishment department hurriedly walked in outside: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have made a new discovery, and the young handsome man from Tingliyuan has been recruited."
Xiao Junzi once discovered that Lihua and Zhichun were burying something in the courtyard, and the two of them were secretly doing something in a house to the west of Tingli courtyard, and no one else was allowed in.
Xiao Junzi once felt strange and accidentally looked out of the window and saw many strange bottles and jars inside.
Xiao Junzi is honest. He didn't dare to speak out after he discovered something was wrong. When he was first tried, he was afraid that he would be blamed for betraying his master, so he refused to say anything. The Criminal Division used some tricks to find out!
On the other side, Zhichun learned that Xiao Junzi had recruited him, and was surprised and said: "Xiao Junzi?"
How could it be Xiao Junzi, not Liu Sanzi!
She always thought it was Liu Sanzi.
Zhichun was confused, but remembering Lihua’s previous words to comfort her, she gritted her teeth and said she didn’t know, so she would search if she wanted.
When Lihua in the main hall first heard about Xiao Junzi’s move, she wasn’t the least bit surprised.
She bowed down and made a sincere request: "The Queen Mother, not only do I need to search the palace where I live, but I also have to search the houses in the west side hall of my concubine, including the residence of the servants. I am not afraid of the shadows, and I have never done those things.
I’m not afraid, I beg you to be innocent.”
A dark light flashed across Linglong's eyes, just in time, she not only buried things, but also placed things elsewhere just in case.
The Queen Mother looked at Pear Blossom in surprise, and she agreed to let people search carefully for everything related to Pear Blossom.
Reminded by Lihua's words, Tingliyuan searched everyone from the master to the slaves, so Jinghong Palace could not only search Xiaochan's residence and the side hall where the incident occurred, but also carefully searched every corner.
