famous eldest daughter

Chapter 13 The Palace Maid in Tsing Yi
"I didn't go anywhere, I just talked to His Highness the Second Prince for a while." Gu Yuqing said softly in a low voice as she straightened the dress that was pressed down when she sat down.

Gu Yuhe's hand holding Gu Yuqing's sleeve froze immediately. After a moment, his fingers trembled slightly and he slowly let go, "Sister and His Highness the Second Prince were talking. What did they say?"

Gu Yuhe's voice sounded sour, as if he had eaten raw plums, and he kept looking at Xiao Duo.

The moon-white attire was embroidered straight up. In Gu Yuhe's eyes, Xiao Duo was so heroic and extraordinary that he didn't look like an ordinary person.

Her thin lips were pursed tightly, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist.

Gu Yuqing looked at her coolly and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go home. This is not the place for us to chat, and we don't want to see what the situation is like."

Gu Yuhe withdrew her gaze, drooped her eyes and curled her lips, after all, she didn't speak any more, except that the handkerchief in her hand was poked a hole by her half-inch long nails.

The good Su Jin immediately made a "sizzling" sound, causing the noble lady sitting next to her to frown and look over.

Gu Yuqing pretended to disappear.

It seems that when she goes back today, she really wants to have a good talk with her biological sister.

Kneeling on the dance floor was a palace maid dressed in blue, shivering like chaff. Gu Yuqing recognized her at a glance. She was a palace maid from Hehuan Palace.

The Queen is really capable. In such a short period of time, the Hehuan Hall has been found.

"I am the maid of Sasao of Hehuan Palace. I don't know anything. I just follow orders." The maid in blue said with a tearful tone.

Gu Yuqing's eyes passed over the palace maid in green and fell on the Queen's face.

The corners of the Queen's mouth twitched. She was so scheming that she couldn't help but have dark clouds in her eyes when she heard the words "Hehuan Palace".

Concubine Shu, who was sitting next to the queen, suddenly had a gloating smile on her face, "Hey, you are a palace servant of Hehuan Palace. You act according to orders. Whose orders are you following?"

The Queen's sharp gaze swept across Concubine Shu, and finally landed on the palace maid in green in the middle of the dance floor.

"Tell the truth. If you tell even half a lie, I will definitely send you to execution." The queen said through gritted teeth.

Gu Yuqing's fingers immediately trembled.

Bone punishment was the most brutal punishment for women in this dynasty.

The person was nailed alive to the pillar with twelve wooden pegs, and the skin and flesh were torn off until the dense white bones were exposed. An inch of the white bones from the arms, chest, and femur were taken out to create a bone flute.

Human bones are used as flutes, which are crisp and melodious. They are the most noble instruments used by the mage in exorcism.

It's just that the criminal law is too harsh. Although it has not been abolished, it has been put aside long ago. The master only uses dog bones as flutes.

The fact that the Queen proposed this at this time shows the degree of turmoil and shock in her heart.

However, the queen dared to propose bone punishment at this moment. Gu Yuqing guessed that she might already have a safe way to protect Xiao Jingyu.

Being frightened by the Queen, the palace maid in green who was kneeling on the ground immediately slumped down, her eyes frightened and her face ashen.

"The empress clearly noticed that although the servant obeyed orders, she never saw the person who gave the order. Every time, she would write down what she wanted the slave to do on a piece of paper. The paper was pressed on the left side of the harem gate of Hehuan Hall. No. 12 Underneath the blue bricks.”

The palace maid in green clothes was trembling as she spoke. Tears and cold sweat came together, wetting the gauze brocade clothing on her chest.

The queen immediately ordered with a stern face: "Go and check to see if there are the palace bricks she mentioned."

The maid in charge received the order and turned around without saying a word.

After the maid in charge left, Concubine Shu rolled her beautiful eyes and said to the queen, "Do you really want to use bone punishment?"

The queen gave Concubine Shu a cold look and ignored her.

Concubine Shu didn't care about the queen's attitude. She raised her hand and lazily supported Jin Buyao on her bun, and said slowly: "I think it's too fussy to torture a little palace maid like her."

The queen sneered and said, "What should you do?"

Concubine Shu smiled brightly and said, "You dare to instigate people to murder Sister Hui Guifei, and you must be punished. The mastermind behind this is the one who has no choice but to die. He should be tortured with bones. Do you think so, Sister Hui Guifei?"

Concubine Shu handed the words to Concubine Hui, who had been silent.

Now all the evidence points directly to Hehuan Palace, and the eldest princess Xiao Jingyu, the owner of Hehuan Palace, has become the person Shu Fei said she would never leave.

The queen never thought that after repeated investigations, the result would be like this. The murderer was found to be her own daughter.

There was a suffocation in her chest that made her heart ache.

"What do you think?" The queen looked at Concubine Hui with a deep and sophisticated look, with an aggressive look.

Hearing the queen's question, Gu Yuqing immediately felt worried for Concubine Hui.

This is such a big pit.

If it is finally determined that the mastermind behind this is Xiao Jingyu, then if Concubine Hui talks about using bone punishment to punish the real culprit, she will have an inextricable relationship with the queen.

Although Concubine Hui is the victim, Xiao Jingyu is the eldest princess favored by the emperor after all. Even if the emperor feels that Xiao Jingyu is wrong, he will feel that Concubine Hui is acting too viciously and does not care about family affection.

The emperor's favor is fickle and meager, so there is no way to go about hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred.

If Concubine Hui is tolerant and generous and doesn't care about it, then...it is a matter of life and death after all. It will inevitably be used by people with intentions to spread rumors, saying that this is simply a play written and performed by Concubine Hui in order to frame the eldest princess. .

Rumors are terrible, and who knows what can be spread.

At that time, I might even be implicated as the person who was given porridge by Concubine Hui.

Just when Gu Yuqing broke into a cold sweat for Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui gently parted her lips and said slowly: "I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Hehuan Palace, it's not too late to investigate the case before discussing punishment."

Even if Xiao Jingyu wanted to put her to death, in front of all the guests, she would never say that Xiao Jingyu was the real murderer.

What the emperor cares most about is royal appearance.

There is no need to rush Xiao Jingyu in a moment, and he must not lose the emperor's heart because of this.

As soon as Concubine Hui said this, the queen felt relieved.

She was really afraid that Concubine Hui would take the opportunity to seize Hehuan Palace.

As long as Concubine Hui doesn't get entangled, even if Jing Yu is the real murderer, he can still protect her.

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but admire Concubine Hui's cleverness. Such an answer couldn't be more appropriate, which completely cut off Concubine Shu's attempt to dig a hole for her.

Concubine Shu hummed, twisted her face, played with the beauty fan in her hand, and stopped talking.

As soon as they chatted, someone from the palace hurried in. "Your Majesty, the first-class maid of the Hehuan Palace, Hong Hong, committed suicide. Many white mushrooms were found in her bedroom. The imperial doctor had already seen them. They were the poisonous mushrooms that poisoned Yuli to death with ginseng in the porridge."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the brocade shed turned their attention to Concubine Hui and the Queen.

As soon as the case involved the Queen's biological daughter, the eldest princess, He Huan Palace, a palace official from He Huan Palace committed suicide. The implications are self-evident.

Everyone sitting here is a human being, who wouldn’t understand what this means?

Now it depends on what will happen to the parties involved, Concubine Hui and the Fourth Prince.

Everyone lowered their eyebrows, looked at their noses and hearts, and did not dare to express their anger.

I really don't look at the almanac when I go out, but I encounter such royal secrets. Who doesn't know that the most important thing for the emperor is the royal face.

What should I do if I think about it later and have an attack?
