Princess Funing immediately became unhappy: "Who said it's inconvenient for me to go to the palace? Let's go!"
Before her voice fell, Princess Funing's pace quickened a lot.
Chai Yan didn't know who De Bin was, but one thing was certain, the relationship between De Bin and Princess Funing was probably not good.
Chai Yan slowed down, deliberately falling behind Fu Ning, then approached the eunuch Fu Shun and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Fu, what's going on?"
Fushun glanced at Princess Funing in front of him, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Mr. Chai County... Her Royal Highness the Princess had an unpleasant quarrel with the Concubine De because of a trivial matter...
.”
"Unpleasant?" Chai Yan guessed that there was a reason.
The princess was in front, so he didn't dare to go into detail, so he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say..."
"Is there anything you dare not say? Tell him!"
Suddenly Princess Funing turned around and heard the conversation just now.
Fushun thought the princess was sarcastic, so he quickly shut up and put his chin on his chest. He lowered his head in fear and walked forward. The other three little eunuchs also looked exactly the same in an instant.
When Chai Yan saw that Fu Shun didn't dare to say anything, he stopped asking further. Being a slave was not easy, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it at this time.
After it calmed down, Princess Funing couldn't help it anymore. She turned around and stared at Chai Yan and asked, "Do you want to know why I don't want to see the concubine?"
Chai Yan tilted his head and said indifferently: "If the princess wants to say something, Chai Yan is all ears..."
The implication is that if you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. Anyway, the things in the harem have nothing to do with you. The reason why I ask about this is because I am worried that I will make the wrong statement when we meet later.
Princess Funing's face sank, and she frowned and said: "That virtuous concubine, who has taken advantage of her own beauty, has been favored by her father twice, and yet she has the audacity to accuse me of my misdeeds. You say, I
Can the palace treat her?"
"What lies did she accuse the princess of?" Chai Yan asked.
Funing's face twisted and he said stubbornly: "I don't want to talk about it now..."
Chai Yan suddenly laughed in his heart. How could he not see the little princess's intention? After being ignored several times, she wanted to arouse her curiosity so that she could pursue further questions.
But Chai Yan didn't live up to her wish, and replied with an expressionless face and no desire to find out: "Oh."
Princess Funing was angry again. After taking a few helpless breaths, she finally told the story.
It turned out that one day a few months ago, Princess Funing was passing by the garden and happened to see a huge fruit on the tree. Seeing that the fruit was not high up, Funing suddenly wanted to go up the tree to pick it by herself. The palace maid
The eunuchs did not dare and could not stop her, so they protected her under the tree. Just then, the concubine passed by and saw her, so she ran over to dissuade the princess.
Princess Funing felt that Concubine De was meddling in her own business, so she didn't give her a good look. Concubine De, who had just been favored, felt unhappy, so she told the emperor about the matter while she was sleeping. When the emperor heard that Funing was so naughty, he
Funing was punished by not being allowed to visit the palace for half a month, and he was also punished by copying documents every day.
It was such a small thing that made Princess Funing hate the concubine from then on.
After hearing this, Chai Yan's first thought was that he deserved it. Who asked you, a little girl, to run up a tree like a monkey? If I were your father, I would be angry too!
"Chai Yan, tell me, did she deliberately lie and gossip behind her back?"
Princess Funing even tugged on Chai Yan's clothes, insisting that he would say something fair.
Chai Yan would not be stupid enough to express his position casually, and said: "Your Highness, who is right or wrong in this matter does not matter. Chai Yan only knows that the princess should not climb trees. If she falls, the emperor and the queen will
They are all going to be sad.”
Princess Funing curled her lips and squinted her eyes: "I knew you would say that... Wow, it's so boring!"
Chai Yan smiled "haha" and stopped continuing the topic.
At this time, Chai Yan and Princess Funing also arrived outside the gate of Jinxiu Palace.
As soon as Funing appeared, the palace maids and eunuchs inside noticed him and hurriedly came out to salute and greet the princess.
Princess Funing waved her hand casually and entered the palace with Chai Yan and Fu Shun.
After walking a few steps, De's concubine was greeted by a palace maid. When Chai Yan saw De's concubine's appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked...
This concubine is really beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as stunningly beautiful!
Concubine De smiled and came to Princess Funing. Yingying bowed and said, "Princess Funing, what kind of wind brought you here today? It's really a rare thing."
In fact, this sentence didn't mean anything else, but after hearing it in Funing's ears, it changed and he felt that her attitude was not welcoming to him.
Funing opened his mouth and said with a hint of irony: "Debin, your Splendid Palace is not a great place. I can come here if I want. If you don't want to come, even if you invite me, I won't come!"
Hearing this, Concubine De's expression obviously froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, keeping a smile and said: "Princess Funing, I have already apologized for what happened last time, why are you still so stubborn?"
Yu Huai, have you come to accuse me again?"
Although Funing was young, his speaking momentum was not inferior, and he immediately replied: "Who is upset? The princess has long forgotten that matter, but you brought it up again and said, what does it mean?
"
Concubine De quickly and tactfully responded: "Oh, Princess Funing, it turns out you didn't come here for that matter. Look at my concubine's mouth..."
Having said this, the concubine pretended to slap her lips and blamed herself: "It's my fault. I have a villainous heart. Please don't take offense at your highness..."
Princess Funing was too lazy to argue with the concubine, so she turned to Chai Yan and said, "Mr. Chai County, please tell me quickly, who is the murderer of the little naughty boy?"
As soon as the words were spoken, a burst of exclamations erupted in the forecourt of Jinxiu Palace. The maids and eunuchs of Jinxiu Palace all exchanged looks with surprised expressions. They all wanted to know who the naughty boy was and when did a murder happen in the palace?
The concubine had long noticed Chai Yan, who was wearing the official uniform of the Wude Company and standing next to the princess, but she had no chance to find out his identity just now.
"Your Highness, this is..." Concubine De asked, while quietly looking at Chai Yan.
Princess Funing raised her chin and said loudly: "His name is Chai Yan. He is the sexton of the Wude Department. He is also the newly promoted baron of Anping County. He is also a well-known master of solving crimes. I have invited him here to track down and kill
The little naughty murderer’s…”
After saying this, Princess Funing asked again: "Mr. Chaixian County, tell me quickly who is the murderer?"
