Chapter 92 Investigation
People in the mansion talk a lot, and Zhuzhu was also afraid that she would be punished by the old prince after she said this, so she asked to find a place where there was no one to talk about it.

It happened that their group was going to Wangyue Tower, so King Tan decided to take Zhuzhu with him.

Zhu Zhu said in a hurry: "This matter is related to the reputation of the Princess, and the two Highnesses must ensure that it will not be rumored."

"That's natural," Dan Wang assured.

Since it is related to Huashang's reputation, it is natural that more people should not know about it. King Tan can still understand this point.

Wangyue Tower is two streets away from the Old Prince's Mansion. Although it is not very far, it will take a long time to walk there.

After arriving at the Moon Tower, I asked for a private room.

Zhuzhu seemed a little cautious, and silently followed behind them along the way.

"Your Highness, in fact, I don't know much about this matter." Zhuzhu lowered her head, a little nervous.

Dan Wang glanced at her, and acted calmly: "You just need to tell what you know."

Zhuzhu nodded with some fear, and fell into memories.

"Actually, on the day when the princess disappeared, she was going to Wangyuelou to drink tea on the surface, but she was actually going to see Young Master Qiao."

When Zhuzhu finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Dan Wang, as if observing his expression.

King Dan frowned tightly, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Who is Mr. Qiao?"

"Joe, Mr. Qiao is a poor scholar. Once when the princess was going out, it was raining heavily. He happened to meet Mr. Qiao. When Mr. Qiao saw that the princess was not wearing an umbrella, he passed the umbrella in his hand to the princess. Since then, the princess The Lord will find excuses to visit Mr. Qiao every day."

When Zhuzhu talked about Mr. Qiao, there was a hint of resentment in her tone, maybe she didn't notice it herself, but Xie Yiqing next to her noticed it all at once.

The same Dan Wang also noticed a slight difference, but he didn't say anything, but motioned Zhuzhu to continue.

"The old prince was very angry when he learned that the princess fell in love with a poor scholar, and ordered the princess not to look for Mr. Qiao in the future. Of course, the princess would still sneak out to find Mr. Qiao, but he didn't allow us slaves. Follow, but every time the princess comes back, she seems unhappy."

"As for the affairs of the princess and Mr. Qiao, we slaves are all aware of it. How much the princess likes Mr. Qiao."

"On the day the princess disappeared, he went to the appointment of Mr. Qiao, and he never came back. Later, he sent someone to find Mr. Qiao, but Mr. Qiao disappeared."

After telling the whole story, Zhuzhu looked very sad, with a look of worry on her face.

But after they listened, they always felt that something was not quite right.

Listening to Zhuzhu's tone, it seemed that she was suspecting that Princess Huashang had eloped with Mr. Qiao.

"Are you suspecting that Huashang and the man surnamed Qiao went far away?" It was obvious that there was already a trace of anger in King Tan's tone.

This servant girl dared to slander Huashang's reputation, she knew how much private giving and receiving would hurt Huashang, and if it got out, how could Huashang get married.

Zhuzhu couldn't help trembling, and said no, but her performance was obviously yes, and there was a hint of crying in her tone: "No, no."

But everyone thought that the Princess had eloped with Mr. Qiao, but there was no direct evidence. Due to the reputation of the Princess, the old prince did not let everyone talk about it.

And Zhuzhu, as the princess's personal servant girl, naturally knows a little bit. She once heard the princess said that since the old prince disagreed with their marriage, she eloped with Mr. Qiao.

Although it is not clear what stage the princess and Mr. Qiao have reached, Zhuzhu still thinks that Mr. Qiao kidnapped the princess, so she feels a little resentful towards him.

"Your Highness, this servant suspects that the princess was deceived by that villain." That's right, in Zhuzhu's heart, Mr. Qiao has already risen to the level of a villain.

Seeing that she was also worried about Hua Chang, King Tan suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to her expressionlessly, "Do you have evidence?"

Zhuzhu froze for a moment, shaking her head like a rattle, but even though there was no evidence, she still believed that her judgment was correct.

Zhao Qingluo quietly pulled Xie Yiqing aside, and asked softly with a hint of doubt in her tone: "Your Highness, do you think Zhuzhu's words are credible?"

For some reason, she always felt that something was weird. This Zhuzhu only said that the princess loves Mr. Qiao, but she never revealed the attitude of Mr. Qiao towards the princess.

If the two are in love with each other, then the princess must have voluntarily left with Mr. Qiao, but if Mr. Qiao doesn't like the princess, why would he abduct the princess without any grievances?

So the county chief either encountered something on the way back, or eloped with Mr. Qiao.

It should be more likely to elope, after all, Mr. Qiao is nowhere to be seen now.

Xie Yiqing was leaning against the door frame, and he seemed very foolish when he said this: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Where is his aloofness? Why does he look like a dude? Zhao Qingluo squinted at him and said something in his heart.

At this moment, she really wanted to yell at him: Mr. villain, your character design has collapsed!

But he was right, Zhao Qingluo had already guessed in his mind.

What Zhuzhu said should be true, but she should not know much about the princess.

Then King Tan had finished chatting with Zhuzhu, his brows were tightly frowned, as if there was something bothering him.

As for Zhuzhu, she lowered her head, as if she had been reprimanded, as if she wanted to cry but couldn't.

If what Zhuzhu said is true, there is no need to ask the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower, but just to be cautious, King Dan still went to ask the shopkeeper.

According to the shopkeeper, I did see a man standing with the princess that day, but it seemed that he broke up with the princess. After a while, the princess also left. Sad look.

According to the appearance described by the shopkeeper, Zhuzhu immediately determined that the man was Mr. Qiao.

But in fact, it was not Zhuzhu who went out with Princess Huashang that day, but another maid, Xiuxiu, and of course Xiuxiu also disappeared with the princess.

As for why Zhuzhu insisted that the person who met Princess Huashang must be Mr. Qiao, it was because Mr. Qiao had an obvious feature, that is, there was a tear mole at the corner of his eye, and the shopkeeper happened to mention this feature. Princess Huashang euphemistically mentioned before going out that she was going to see Mr. Qiao.

"Your Highness, it must have been Young Master Qiao who saw that the old prince did not agree to the marriage, so he abducted the princess." Zhuzhu said quickly without restraint.

Dan Wang glanced at this girl, and there was a chill in his eyes. He was loyal to Hua Chang, but it was a pity that he spoke without thinking, that is to say, stupid.

"That's enough. The truth of the matter is up to me to decide." He said coldly with a hint of warning in his tone.
