Chapter 222 The Incident
Niu Hesheng rolled and crawled off the bed, knelt on the ground shaking his body, and said, "Damn the grassroots! Please redeem your sins, nobles!"

"Let's talk about what's going on first." Li Zhao said as gently as possible.

Niu Hesheng was still lying on the ground, and said with a trembling voice, "Yes! Caomin, when Caomin was passing that bridge, he accidentally slipped and fell."

He stuttered, and it looked like he was lying, but the matter involved Miss Ning San, maybe this Niu Hesheng lied to protect Ning San's reputation?

Li Zhao waved his hand and asked the subordinates to go out, Miss Meng went to take care of Miss Ning San, Song Qingyue stayed in the house, Li Zhao said to Niu Hesheng: "Please tell the truth, Mr. Niu."

Niu Hesheng looked at Li Zhao hesitantly, and Li Zhao had no choice but to explain more clearly: "Tell me, I am the son of King Su, and the girl who had an accident with you is my cousin. This son always has to find out who is trying to harm her." Okay. So it’s okay, Mr. Niu, tell the truth!”

Niu Hesheng is also smart, seeing that he couldn't get over it, and now he knows that the girl in front of him is a cousin of that girl, so he said: "Caomin...he came with the young master of the Xing family, and when he arrived, he followed the Xing family The young master ate three fried chicken legs together. At that time, there was a very good-looking maid who was very kind to the grass people..."

"Did you see clearly what name was written on the badge she was wearing?" Li Zhao asked.

"She, she didn't wear a badge, but Cao Min asked what her name was, and she said her name was Mo Mei, and she was under the imperial concubine's service."

Song Qingyue said: "This can't be done, Mo Mei..." She suddenly stopped talking halfway through, and suddenly remembered that this morning Mo Mei said that she had a stomachache after eating too much, so she asked for leave.

But obviously Li Zhao didn't believe that the maid in question belonged to Song Qingyue, so he didn't explain.

Niu Hesheng went on to say: "Caomin also felt that it was impossible. How could the concubine's maid stand there as an errand, so Caomin was careful at the time and didn't dare to drink more of the juice she brought. But before that, I still drank a couple of sips. Later Feeling a little dizzy, the maid said to take me to a small courtyard to sober up, and when I passed the rockery, she pushed the grass people into the cave..."

"Is there someone inside?" Song Qingyue asked.

Niu Hesheng's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he buried his head lower, and said, "Yes, there is a girl inside. The grass man must have been drugged. At that time, the grass man wanted to go out, but the girl grabbed the grass man and refused to let him go. Caomin go. Caomin also sensed that something was wrong with him at the time, so he wanted to run desperately into the pool, and when he regained consciousness, he lied that he had slipped and fell into the water..."

"So you didn't talk to that girl...?"

"No, nothing! Nothing happened!" Niu Hesheng waved his hands desperately, his face flustered: "That girl jumped into the lotus pond with me, but the grass people saw that she couldn't swim, so they swam over to save her. The girl was probably awake or something, and punched the grass man one by one... and knocked her unconscious..." Although Niu Hesheng was a little bit wronged, he still emphasized: "The grass people didn't look around! It didn't hurt the girl. Apart from being punched by that girl, Cao Min has never touched a hair of that girl! Your Highness, please look into it!"

As he spoke, he knocked his head loudly.

Li Zhao frowned, went to help Niu Hesheng up first, and sighed: "I can't blame you for this matter, but I have to thank you. If you weren't still a little vigilant, I'm afraid my cousin will be murdered."

At this time, someone came to report that Xiuzhu had been found, and she was beaten unconscious and hid in the bushes.Now he is carried to rest in the courtyard where Miss Ning San is resting.

Li Zhao pinched the bridge of his nose, and felt that this matter was caused by the people in the palace. There can't be so many guards and hidden guards here and let people take advantage of it. This person should be very familiar with the villa.

He called Lin Wanfu in: "Find a place for Young Master Niu to stay first. It's our fault that Young Master Niu was implicated innocently this time, so please take good care of him and don't neglect him!"

Lin Wanfu took the order, Niu Hesheng was full of fear, and followed him out with gratitude.

Song Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief now. Fortunately, Mr. Niu is a quick thinker. The third girl Ning was not dirty by others. Now her stomach hurts again. Li Zhao helped her out and went to Ningyue Network together. The guest house where it is located.

In the room, Xiuzhu became angry when she saw Song Qingyue.

Mo Fan asked Xiuzhu what was going on, and Xiuzhu yelled in a very unceremonious manner: "What's going on? I have to ask your concubine what's going on! My girl came to play in a good manner, and a servant girl came over and said she was the concubine. Find our girl to go over and say a few words, but she insisted on asking me to go to the kitchen to get some snacks. I went to get it, but I was knocked out in the end, and it hurt like hell!"

Meng Wanfeng immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Are there any rules? Is this how you talk to Princess Su? Is this how your master taught you?"

She looked at Ning Yueluo displeasedly, Ning Yueluo snorted, and looked at Song Qingyue with very unfriendly eyes, she felt that all these messy things in this house were all because of Song Qingyue.

If she hadn't become the imperial concubine, her second sister would have been the imperial concubine!As long as the second sister becomes the imperial concubine, she won't mess up the family, and her little aunt won't go crazy and insist on her being a concubine for Li Yi!
Everything was caused by this concubine from the Song family who appeared out of nowhere!
To put it bluntly, she also looked down on Song Qingyue a little bit, thinking that she was not worthy to be Li Zhao's concubine, and that Song San was able to rise to the position only because of her beauty and saving Li Zhao.

What made her even more upset was that, with Song Qingyue being the concubine of the eldest son, even though she was from a similar background, my little aunt actually thought she could be a concubine for the second son!

Simply ridiculous!
Song Qingyue didn't have time to explain why Miss Ning San didn't like her so much, she just sat down and asked, "Miss Ning San, I think you understand that the whole thing seems to be aimed at you. You have to tell us, what is it? What's going on, we have clues to track down who wants to kill you."

Seeing that Ning Yueluo was silent and didn't seem to want to open his mouth, Li Zhao also tried to persuade him: "A Luo, it's all our own people here, so it doesn't matter."

Ning Yueluo glanced at Meng Wanfeng, and said irritably, "Anyway, I didn't get hurt, so why don't we just pretend it didn't happen?"

Li Zhao shook his head: "No. What if that person strikes again?"

"I just have to be careful!" Ning Yueluo was extremely irritable, and her tone was very aggressive.

Li Zhao glanced at Meng Wanfeng, and said, "Sister and brother, thank you for your help today. In this matter, you can just pretend that Ah Luo accidentally fell into the water."

Meng Wanfeng acted very reasonable at this time, and said with a smile: "It should be so, then I will leave."

Seeing that Ning Yueluo didn't want to see her so much, Song Qingyue also stood up and said, "I'll take you out." After that, she pulled Meng Wanfeng out.

The two stood at the gate of the yard talking.

"Thank you very much today, and I'm really sorry to have you involved in this trouble." Song Qingyue sighed.

Meng Wanfeng shook her head: "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Does your stomach still hurt?"

"One after another." Song Qingyue said helplessly with a bitter face.

"Then let's go back and rest." Meng Wanfeng smiled, "I hope there will be no more accidents tomorrow."

"Yes, I hope there will be no more accidents tomorrow. I don't know what to thank you for. Tell the kitchen what you want to eat. I will tell the kitchen to treat you well." Song Qingyue seemed to be infected by Meng Wanfeng's smile , I felt more relaxed and laughed.

"Thank you then. I'll take you home."

Meng Wanfeng helped Song Qingyue onto the shoulder, and accompanied her back to Wentao Courtyard, and then left after talking for a while. There was still an afternoon game in Linxi Pavilion, and she had to go back and help the town.

The game in the afternoon went smoothly, and there was no trouble. It was just that the young master of the Xing family wanted to find Niu Hesheng who came with him after the game.

So the news that Niu Hesheng accidentally fell into the water spread like this.

Li Zhao took advantage of this incident and gave Niu Hesheng 200 taels of silver and some other things with great fanfare, as an apology for the mistakes made by the people in the palace. When he gave up the scientific examination, he also suggested to him that the palace could subsidize him to continue his studies, and even get him a place to enter the Imperial College, and asked him if he would like it.

When Niu Hesheng heard this, he hesitated: "To be honest, Cao Min has already agreed to be Xing Zhuangyuan's teacher. No, next year they will start sending officials."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhao said with a smile, "It's not difficult. You might as well have a frank talk with Xing Zhuangyuan and ask him for his opinion. You are a talented scholar at the age of 17."

Niu Hesheng knelt on the ground again and kowtowed: "Caomin thank you for your love, Your Highness and the palace's kindness, Caomin will never forget it!"

When Song Qingyue heard about these things Li Zhao did, she murmured in her heart, this man must be a marketing wizard who is going to Hyundai, look at this wave of operations, he has earned enough fame, it is simply 666.

She was in good spirits in the afternoon, and made three new pairs of obscene trousers for Li Zhao. When Li Zhao came back, he laughed and said, "My lady is becoming more and more virtuous."

"That is, I am gentle and virtuous." Song Qingyue hummed twice, patted the bed board, motioned Li Zhao to sit over, and asked, "Your cousin, what's going on?"

Li Zhao sighed irritably, and said, "It is estimated that the concubine is taking revenge."

"The second concubine? You mean the concubine of our family?" Song Qingyue was shocked, "Why? How can you harm your niece so much? Is there something wrong with your mind?"

"She wanted A Luo to be a concubine for the second child, but A Luo refused. She became angry and wanted to take revenge, and asked A Luo to marry a poor bachelor, so she chose Niu He to give birth." Li Zhao said helplessly.

Song Qingyue frowned, and didn't know what to say for a while, she was simply insane, how could a person have such a strong desire for revenge, it was simply incomprehensible.

After much deliberation, Song Qingyue blamed this incomprehensible desire for revenge on the fact that her life was too leisurely and rich, and she had no goals in life. It was so easy to meet a small goal, just like a mad dog.

"Our concubine hates me too. I never go to pay her respects. She won't... come to take revenge on me too?" Song Qingyue looked terrified.

"No, she didn't dare. She didn't dare to go directly at you blatantly. At most, she would add trouble to you like today."

After Li Zhao finished speaking, he also felt a little sorry. What do you mean by "at most adding to the chaos like today"?
Song Qingyue lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then asked again: "Can you find any evidence?"

Li Zhao shook his head: "It was handled very cleanly. Those who should have escaped have already escaped. I guess even if they are found, they will probably be corpses."

"Are you going to tell your uncle and grandma about this?"

"It must be said, father and king must go to the Hou's mansion in person, at least let the grandmother know the seriousness of the matter, and can't always let the step-concubine mess around. This time she killed the girl of the Hou's mansion!"
