Queen Juan is here, run away

Chapter 194 The people in Tingliyuan have recruited
Lihua's peach-blossom eyes opened slightly, and she was surprised inside. This big cat has such a high status in the palace, even Zhang Defa has to respect it.

But the few times she met before, this big cat was very cute, right?

Seeing Zhang Defa's persuasion, Lihua's mouth was dry, and Wu Xue's hair was licked slowly. This scene was very funny, as if the emperor was not in a hurry with the eunuchs.

She really couldn't hold back, and walked to the side of the palace man to watch the play carefully.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, Wu Xue stopped licking her hair and stood up to look at her.

Zhang Defa thought that Wu Xue was going to hurt someone, so he stopped him nervously: "Wu Xue, no, the trial is not over yet!"

He was afraid that Wu Xue would avenge Wu Meiren.

Lihua glanced at Zhang Defa, seeing what the dead eunuch said, could he do anything to her after the interrogation?
She made a silent note in her heart, and looked down at Wu Xue with a bit of unkindness in her eyes.

The next scene surprised Zhang Defa.

Wu Xue's ears shrank, and she took two quick steps to the side, sticking close to the door.

Lihua went out directly from the door, smiled at him faintly, and turned to look at the palace servants: "Eunuch, isn't the queen mother called? Let's go."

Wu Xue automatically and consciously followed Lihua, and when she walked to Lihua's side, she also stopped and looked back.

Both the person and the cat looked at the palace man.

But the palace servant came to his senses at this moment, trotted ahead to lead the way for Li Hua, and glanced at Wu Xue in horror from time to time.

Zhang Defa petrified in place, wildly suspecting that he was hallucinating.

In this life, he only saw Wu Xue listening to three people, the first one was the emperor, the other two were the empress dowager, and the other was An Ding Wang Yu Chixu.

Wu Xue was very cold towards the others, and her inborn blood of the Beastmaster made it difficult for Wu Xue to submit to others easily.

Zhang Defa pinched himself, "Ouch", and found that the people and cats who had gone away were still there.

Wu Meiren seemed to be talking to Wu Xue, Wu Xue shook her hair and followed unhurriedly.

Zhang Defa was done thinking about it, Wu Xue not only didn't go to guard the side hall, but was abducted by the suspect, what should I do.

He remembered the errand on his body, slapped his head, and hurriedly followed.

Lihua asked: "Maoqiu, why are you following me, do you want to be plucked?"

Wu Xue subconsciously shook her hair, and looked at Li Hua with a dissatisfied "Aww".

Lihua wanted to laugh a little, and continued: "I didn't move that bed, so you don't have to follow me."

Being followed by a cat is really ostentatious. If the Queen Mother sees what it looks like, what will the evildoer think when she turns around and sees it.

Wu Xue's cat whiskers moved, she was satisfied that the white jade bed was still there, but she still followed.

Wu Xue followed outside the main hall, but Lihua had no choice but to say not to hinder her later, and then gave up.

Wu Xue thought for a while with her round head and understood.

One person and one cat walked into the main hall like this.

But the moment Wu Xue stepped into the main hall, she quietly stayed in an inconspicuous corner, guarding and not hindering Lihua.

When Lihua entered the main hall, the atmosphere was obviously dignified, and the empress dowager's majestic gaze fell directly on her, which made people feel pressured.

Zhou Yuzhen stood at the side of the hall, and when she saw her come in, she glanced at her lightly, and then moved away immediately.

Lihua thoughtfully, bowed forward, and silently knelt to the other side.

Being so delayed by Wu Xue, she was late.

Linglong, who was more advanced than her in the main hall, was speaking at the moment.

Linglong panicked and shook her head constantly: "...Impossible, it can't be Wu Meiren. Even if the master asked Wu Meiren to change her name many times, Wu Meiren was gentle and polite, and she never took offense. But once..."

She seemed to realize that Lihua had come in suddenly, so she quickly shut up, with a hesitant expression.

The queen mother frowned when she heard that Wu Fang'er forced Lihua to change her name because the two sounded alike.

Later, I felt that this happened to Wu Fang'er, and it was very normal.

But this is intriguing.

Seeing that Linglong stopped talking suddenly, the Queen Mother said angrily, "Keep talking!"

Linglong then said: "One day the master went after Wu Meiren to change her name and sprained her foot. When she came back, she said it was Wu Meiren who killed her, but the servants didn't see it with their own eyes, so they didn't dare to say anything."

Lihua knew in her heart that she was asking Linglong what she thought of Wu Fang'er's death.

Zhang Defa entered the palace at this time.

After entering the hall, he subconsciously went to look around Li Hua, but he was relieved when he didn't find Wu Xue.

He walked up to salute with a shy face.

The Queen Mother was in a mess, when she saw Zhang De coming, her first reaction was to look behind him.

Didn't see the emperor, so he waved his hand in disappointment and relief, telling Zhang De to move aside, don't get in the way.

Disappointed because the queen mother didn't see the emperor, she didn't talk about it on weekdays, but she still thought about it in her heart.

The consolation is that Wu Fang'er is not so important to the emperor to come here in person, but after all, she cares a little about Zhang Defa asking, so it's better to have less heartache.

Lihua has different ideas about Zhang Defa's arrival.

The head eunuch should have been called by the head of the emperor.

Her counterattack could not be seen by others, but she was worried that the emperor would be able to see it.

But she was really just fighting back. The evildoer is so smart, can he also see that she was wronged?

But what if he would rather kill by mistake than let it go?
Ewha's thoughts were flying.

Speaking of this moment, the Empress Dowager looked at her: "Wu Meiren, is there something this court lady said?"

Zhang Defa stood in front of the hall like an invisible person, under Nanny Qin, standing with Nanny Li.

He seemed to stay out of the matter with his eyes and nose watching his heart, actually observing everyone's reaction.

Lihua ignored his gaze, and simply admitted: "Returning to the empress dowager's words, there is indeed such a thing. It is true that Wu Meiren chased the concubine to change her name, and it is also true that the concubine caused her to sprain her foot."

The queen mother was taken aback: "How do you say?"

Lihua said guiltily: "If the concubine hadn't walked too fast, Wu Meiren would not have fallen down because she didn't see the way clearly in pursuit of the concubine, so it was the concubine who harmed her."

The queen mother said "oh", it's the harm.

She asked again: "Zhou Cairen saw you and Xiaochan meet this afternoon, and heard that Xiaochan said to be a bull and a horse for you. Is there such a thing?"

Linglong's eyes flashed, she bet right, the two cousins ​​Zhou Cairen and Wu Meiren were at odds.

Lihua thought to herself that her good cousin did not disappoint her.

She raised her head and said calmly: "There is also this matter."

The queen mother frowned suddenly.

Lihua then looked at Zhou Yuzhen, and smiled faintly: "Cousin, Xiaochan said a lot to me, including the words about being a cow and a horse. Since you heard it, why don't you tell your mother everything?"

The queen mother looked sharply at Zhou Yuzhen.

Zhou Yuzhen panicked and said hastily: "I was far away at the time, so I didn't hear everything clearly, only one or two sentences."

Lihua suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that my cousin didn't hear the other words clearly, but she heard the sentence "Be a cow and a horse for me."

She turned her head and kowtowed: "Empress Dowager, my concubine did not dare to hide anything. I have told the old lady in charge of the criminal department about the details of meeting Xiaochan earlier. There should be a record. Please read it."

Nanny Qin took the opportunity to hand over Lihua's confession.

The queen mother gave a faint "hmm", looked down and squinted her eyes.

The current situation is a bit confusing, I thought that Xiao Chan was illiterate, and what she said in the letter was false.

But soon Zhou Cairen came and provided new clues. She once ran into Xiaochan kneeling and said that she would work hard for Lihua and repay Lihua.

Then I learned about the name change from Linglong, so Lihua and Wu Meiren are not without feuds.

Now Lihua admits that Xiaochan wants to repay her, but then she finds out that Zhou Yuzhen has not seen the whole picture and has something to hide.

The Queen Mother put down her confession, thought for a while and said: "The most important thing right now is to find out, Xiao Chan is illiterate, so where did the suicide note come from?"

She ordered: "Have someone identify the handwriting of the suicide note, and see who in the palace has similar handwriting. And quickly find out who the maid who pretends to be from Zhuang Ning Palace is."

Nanny Li should leave the hall.

Linglong was shocked, her face turned white instantly, no one noticed because she lowered her head.

After Wu Fang'er was named a beauty, she punished Xiao Chan to do the hardest and most tiring work.

Xiao Chan is not a talkative person either, she only works in a muffled voice on weekdays, Linglong has no way of knowing that Xiao Chan is illiterate.

As soon as Linglong came in, she was immediately asked about what was written in the suicide note, but no one mentioned that Xiaochan was illiterate.

Fortunately, she didn't talk nonsense just now, otherwise she would have been exposed.

And the maid who invited Lihua to Jinghong Palace, was she seen?

Didn't she tell anyone except Wu Meiren not to let others see her!

Linglong's heart was beating wildly, she pinched her palms to comfort herself, she was not afraid, she had other preparations.

As long as the palace lady cleans up the Zhuang Ning Palace's clothes according to her instructions, there will be a turning point.

As soon as Linglong finished comforting herself, a palace official who was in charge of the punishment department hurried outside: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, there is a new discovery, and the young handsome man from Tingliyuan has recruited."

Xiaojunzi once found that Lihua was taking Zhichun to bury things in the courtyard, and the two were still doing something quietly in a certain house on the west side of Tingli courtyard, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Xiao Junzi once felt strange, and accidentally glanced out of the window, and saw many strange bottles and jars inside.

Xiao Junzi was honest, he didn't dare to speak out after discovering these things were wrong. When he was first interrogated, he was afraid that he would bear the reputation of betraying the master, so he kept refusing to speak out.
On the other end, Zhichun learned that Xiao Junzi had recruited, and said in surprise, "Xiao Junzi?"

How could it be Xiao Junzi, isn't it Liu Sanzi!

She always thought it was Liu Sanzi.

Zhichun was very confused, but remembering what Lihua had said to comfort her earlier, she gritted her teeth and said she didn't know, so she searched if she wanted to.

When Lihua in the main hall heard that Xiao Junzi had recruited, she wasn't even half surprised.

She bowed down and earnestly begged: "Empress Dowager, not only do you want to search the residence of the courtiers and concubines, but also the houses in the west side hall of the courtiers and concubines, including the quarters of the slaves. The courtiers are not afraid of the shadows, and have never done those things. Since I am not afraid, I beg the empress to return the innocence of this servant."

A dark light flashed across Linglong's eyes, just in time, she not only buried things, but also put things elsewhere just in case.

The Queen Mother looked at Pear Blossom in surprise, and she agreed to let people search everything related to Pear Blossom carefully.

Reminded by Lihua's words, Tingliyuan has searched everything from the master to the servants, so Jinghong Palace can't just search Xiaochan's residence and the side hall where the incident happened, but every corner must be searched carefully.
