Hearing this, Qing Guifei sighed: "Tell me the truth, and I"ll have someone give you a quick death."Hearing that, the palace maid once again kowtowed to Qing Guifei: "Empress, it is this servant who has let you down. This servant gave your list of ingredients to the big palace maid by the side of the Yunfei Empress."
"Because when I entered the palace, I nearly got beaten to death and was punished to kneel again because I angered esteemed w.a.n.gfei at that time. At that time, the Yunfei was still a concubine, and she was the one who gave me the bowl of rice."
"After saving this servant"s life, this servant came to your palace. But this servant always remembers this favor, so when the big palace maid by the side of the Yunfei"s Empress came to ask this servant for it."
"This servant will give it then. This servant always thought that the list of medicinal herbs would be useful no matter what."
Qing Guifei closed his eyes and asked: "Are you saying that the great palace maids who have always been by Yunfei"s side have been in contact with you, and asked you about it?"
"Yes, Empress, this servant only wishes for death."
Qing Guifei opened his eyes, and looked at the palace maid: "You are truly foolish, I am afraid that Yunfei"s grace in exchange for a meal back then has caused your name to fall from the sky."
That palace maid"s face turned pale. No, it couldn"t be what she had imagined, right? She was used by someone, so she couldn"t help but nearly kill the Empress and her benefactor?
Qing Guifei had no interest in looking at the pale-faced palace maid, but instead looked at the emperor. The emperor sighed, and his expression turned ugly, naturally, he could tell what was going on inside.
The Yunfei had nothing to do with the affairs of the world, so how could they possibly want to poison them to death? There was no place for the Yunfei to appear, and once the Emperor died, they would also be buried as martyrs.
Thus, poisoning them was tantamount to suicide. It was impossible for Yunfei to do such things, but the evidence was all pointed towards Yunfei.
How could the Emperor possibly endure this? However, the Emperor waved his hand and called for someone. "Men! Tell me! Yunfei is imprisoned and the palace maid is to be brought here."
Just as the emperor was preparing for the Dong Clan, news quickly came, "Your majesty, the Yunfei has hanged herself, leaving behind a will, saying that she had committed suicide out of guilt."
"That palace maid also committed suicide."
When the Emperor heard this news, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Good, good, good Consort Xian!"
After saying those three words consecutively, it could be seen how badly the emperor had been angered. Qian Jiujiu also remembered that woman called Yunfei, and couldn"t help but sigh in her heart.
The young woman had disappeared just like that. When the kneeling palace maid heard this, her eyes glazed over. Even if she was a fool, she also understood that she had really caused the death of her benefactor.
She immediately kowtowed to Qing Guifei: "Empress, this servant will repay you by working hard in my next life."
After saying that, the palace maid actually pulled out the sword of the guard beside her and slashed at her own stomach. After that, she fell to the ground and lost all signs of life.
Qian Jiujiu sighed, a little worried that Wan Yin, who was beside her, would be frightened, and wanted to console her, but then he saw her mother, with a bland face, not at all frightened.
The emperor, on the other hand, glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Drag her out, then let"s leave this matter at that. Since Yunfei has already committed suicide out of guilt, let"s just let this matter pa.s.s."
Seeing the emperor"s expression, Mu Yexiao felt that it was a little bad, and his expression was also a little bad. The empress glanced at the two of them.
"It"s getting late, we still have to go early tomorrow."
Just as Qian Jiujiu wanted to kneel down, she heard the emperor say, "Your name is Wan Yin, right? Come with me. "
With the sudden change, everyone was at a loss. Qian Jiujiu looked at the emperor for some reason, then looked at Mu Yexiao, and asked.
"Don"t tell me your father has his eyes on my mother?"
Mu Yexiao felt that he could actually understand Qian Jiujiu"s gaze, and couldn"t help but twitch the corner of his mouth. What kind of person does this girl think of his father as? How could she possibly fancy a woman who had once been a minister?
She rolled her eyes at Qian Jiujiu, to the extent that she was relieved, but how could Qian Jiujiu not be? She couldn"t help but look at the Empress and Qing Guifei, and saw that their expressions didn"t change at all.
The Queen was still comforting Qing Guifei, "You just have to take this chance to take care of your body, don"t worry about it anymore."
"I have already given way, but she is still so overbearing. In the future, I will no longer cower. You have protected me for so many years.
"It"s time for big sister to protect you."
He, the emperor and Qing Guifei, had helped each other after staying in the harem for so many years. They relied on each other.
They had already become very important people in each other"s lives. When Qian Jiujiu heard these two people"s words, the corner of her mouth twitched, she really couldn"t understand this kind of relationship.
So, it was better not to think about it anymore. He looked at the side hall somewhat worriedly, and saw the Emperor standing not too far away from Wan Yin inside the side hall.
Wan Yin nodded immediately. "We have met at the border sixteen years ago."
The emperor"s eyes suddenly widened as he looked at Wan Yin. "It"s really you. Then Qian Jiujiu, she …"
Wan Yin still nodded his head, "It"s just as you"ve thought, but right now, I ask that you keep it a secret."
The Emperor laughed, "That is only natural, but what plans does Lady Wan Yin have for us next?"
"Naturally, he"s accompanying Jiu Jiu. Your majesty doesn"t need to worry about Wan Yin; even Wan Yin knows her limits."
The emperor only spoke a few words with Wan Yin before leaving with Wan Yin. Looking at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, a look of satisfaction flashed past his eyes.
"Alright, Xiao"er, you and Jiu Er are tired as well. "Let"s go back tonight."
Only then did Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu leave. The moment they came out, Qian Jiujiu dragged Wan Yin and entered the carriage. The moment they entered the carriage, Qian Jiujiu could not help but ask this question.
"Mother, why is the emperor looking for you?"
Wan Yin tapped Qian Jiujiu on the head lightly, "The Emperor has recognized the wrong person."
Qian Jiujiu was startled, she did not think of that possibility, "Recognize the wrong person? Who does he think you are? Does it look like it? "
Wan Yin chuckled as she looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Oh you, why do you care so much? In the future, Mother will always stay by your side and announce that I am your mama. "
Qian Jiujiu laughed foolishly, "Mother, you"re really great."
Mu Yexiao had never seen Qian Jiujiu act so coquettishly before, and the corner of his eyes couldn"t help but twitch a few times. He didn"t know what to say, and waited for Qian Jiujiu and Wan Yin to finish with great difficulty.
In the end, he heard Qian Jiujiu talk about what had happened tonight: "Hey, I already said that the harem was scary, but three people died in a single night."
"Oh right, Mu Yexiao, how did the Yunfei die?"
Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "You really want to know? I can tell you one thing, that Yunfei was strangled to death and she disguised it to look like she committed suicide out of guilt. "
Qian Jiujiu replied with an "oh" and only sighed. "Another innocent life, Mother, I really didn"t see that coming. You sure are courageous."
"Seeing that little palace maid commit suicide on the spot, your expression didn"t change at all."
The corner of Wan Yin"s mouth twitched, and then bounced off Qian Jiujiu"s head once more. "Don"t try to probe further, just directly ask whatever it is you want to know."
Qian Jiujiu laughed, "Why aren"t you afraid when you watch people commit suicide? Also, actually I want to know one more thing, why did you set your eyes on the Qian Shang Shu? "
Wan Yin sighed: "It"s not like I killed myself, why should I be afraid? Moreover, Mother told you a long time ago that Mother had never loved Qian Shang Shu and had never taken a fancy to him. "
"Alright, Jiu Er. Mother knows that you have a lot of questions, but when the time comes, you will naturally know."
Qian Jiujiu stuck out her tongue: "Mother, you"re stingy. You said that you wanted to tell me yourself, but you didn"t even tell me."
He glanced at Mu Yexiao and said, "Oh, I understand. You feel that there is an outsider here, don"t you? "That"s true, then let"s talk about it in private."
After Mu Yexiao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he ignored Qian Jiujiu.
Fortunately, they had already reached the Duke Palaces. Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Jiu Er, rest early."
After he finished speaking, he directly returned to his room. Qian Jiujiu stuck his tongue out at Mu Yexiao"s back, then pulled Wan Yin along, "Mother, let"s sleep together tonight."
Wan Yin naturally did not have any objections, and nodded. The mother and daughter pair had not been so intimate in a long time, and for a moment, they chatted excitedly for an entire night.
When dawn arrived, Qian Jiujiu finally fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Qian Jiujiu had gone to sleep, Wan Yin also went to sleep. The mother and daughter pair slept soundly, but there were some who couldn"t sleep at all.
They were the three people from Qian Shang Shu and. After the three returned to the manor, they became a little depressed.
When did Qian Jiujiu learn medicine? He actually didn"t know anything about it, and most importantly, it seemed like the Third Prince didn"t trust him that much anymore.
Could the Third Prince have misunderstood that he knew that Qian Jiujiu knew medicine and had sent Qian Jiujiu to Mu Yexiao"s side? Wouldn"t she be abandoned by the Third Prince then?
Even though the emperor values Mu Yexiao, is Qian Jiujiu really confident in being able to cure Mu Yexiao"s leg? If she did not have the confidence, even if the emperor was optimistic about Mu Yexiao, it would be useless.
Therefore, after some thought, he still felt that it was better to stand on the Third Prince"s boat. After all, there was a lot of insurance. The power behind the Third Prince was not small.
To put it crudely, there was only half a chance of being a rebel. Thus, when he thought about it, he felt that this matter wasn"t going to work. It would be best to explain it clearly to the Third Prince.
Qian Yuge was not in a good mood. Looking at the worried faces of the Qian Shang Shu and the others, her expression became even uglier: "Father, mother, what"s wrong with you two?"
Qian Shang Shu glanced at Qian Yuge and was a little disappointed: "I have poured so much effort into you, why can"t you compare to a s.l.u.t who grew up in a villa?"
Qian Yuge was startled, then she realised that Qian Shang Shu despised her and thought that she could not compare to Qian Jiujiu, and her face immediately became even uglier.
