"No, I just accidentally knocked over the teacup." Xu Xin'er waved her hands hastily, "Is it the concubine who disturbed His Highness? Please forgive me, Your Highness."

After she finished speaking, Pei Yao didn't answer, but stared at her coldly.

At this time, Xu Xiner was obviously frightened, she kept looking towards the door, as if she was waiting for someone to save her.

At this moment, the princess finally opened her mouth and said in a deep voice.

"Don't look, that maid has already been captured by someone."

Hearing this, Pei Yao turned his head to look at the Crown Princess with a little doubt.

The princess stood up and bowed to him.

"Your Highness, forgive me. When I went to see the second girl, I had a few conversations with Xu Shuren, and found that the maid next to her looked strange, so I secretly went to Qiushuangzhai to investigate, but I didn't want to run into her as an excuse. I brought back the cloak for Xu Shuren, but actually wanted to escape, Minsi has already caught her, and His Highness can interrogate him personally."

When these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

No one thought that the crown princess, as Xu Shuren's direct cousin, would actually take her own cousin out.

Especially Concubine Yang, when she raised her eyes to look at the Crown Princess, there was naked surprise in her eyes.

Xu Xiner was even more so.

When the princess heard that Xiu Die wanted to escape secretly and was caught, she suddenly panicked.

Kneeling down anxiously, "Cousin, I don't know anything, cousin, none of this has anything to do with me, that maid must have been instructed by someone to put the blame on me!"

"The Crown Princess hasn't said why the maid is running away, why do you seem to know what the maid confessed?" Pei Yao's eyes showed murderous intent.

Xu Xin'er was originally a person who had no plans for the city, but now she panicked again. She didn't know how to refute such a simple sentence.

Trembling with fright, she cast a look of help to the princess while weeping.

However, looking into the eyes of the Crown Princess, she only saw deep disappointment.

Immediately, the Crown Princess waved to Min Si who had come back at some point.

Minsi immediately stepped forward and said calmly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Xiudie, the maidservant next to Xu Shuren, has already confessed. She has a sister from the same village in the Dim Sum Department of the Dining Room. The Dining Room is busy next year. Xiu Die, under the guise of helping, mixed aloe vera powder into rice cakes and dipping dishes. Arrived at Bi Luo Zhai."

"In addition, there are four resident imperial physicians in the back residence of the East Palace. Today, the two on duty during the day are Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang. Xiudie bribed Imperial Physician Zhang and kept an eye on Bi Luo Zhai's movements before the people from Bi Luo Zhai came. , Please leave Imperial Physician Liu, so that Imperial Physician Zhang can go to Biluozhai to test Concubine Fang Fang's dim sum, and let Concubine Fang eat the poisonous dim sum."

Xu Xin'er's face turned pale and stiff when she heard Minsi's words, her body trembled uncontrollably.

After being stunned for a moment, she immediately crawled forward quickly, and tightly grasped the corner of the princess's clothes with both hands.

"Cousin, cousin is not like this, I was blinded by lard for a while, I was jealous of Concubine Fang being favored, me and me, this was all Xiu Die's idea, I listened to her instigation, I regretted my cousin, I was wrong Yes, cousin save me, woo woo woo."

She was raised by her stepmother since she was a child, domineering and stupid, and even more cowardly and flustered when things happen. At this moment, Xu Xin'er was so scared that she would die, so she held on to the Crown Princess. All her hopes were pinned on the Crown Princess.

After all, no matter how stupid she is, she knows that murdering the emperor's heir is a capital crime.

The princess looked complicated, but she didn't speak in the end.

But at this time, Hu Liangdi suddenly said from the side, "How could a maid have such means and contacts? It's not that someone used Xu Shuren through the maid and wanted to kill someone with a knife."

When the voice sounded, Pei Yao's sharp and cold eyes suddenly swept over, making people's backs tense.

"Hu Liangdi's words are quite reasonable." Yang took up the conversation first, and glanced at the princess with a vague look, "Being able to mobilize the dining room is a good way to bribe the imperial physician." He is also clearly in control, presumably someone who is familiar with the layout of the backyard."

After she finished speaking, Xiu Die, who had been silent for a short time after being escorted up, suddenly broke out.

Struggling to get rid of the shackles, she cried to Xu Xiner.

"Shuren, it's the slave who is sorry for you, slave, the slave was instructed by the Crown Princess, she arranged the slave to be by your side, ordered the slave to instigate you secretly, and made you jealous of Concubine Fang, she is doing justice in the open Look, come to reprimand you, so that the servant can arouse your dissatisfaction with her, and create the illusion that you are at odds with her, so that she can get rid of the suspicion!"

"Today is also because the servant and you have exhausted everything and can no longer provide value, so she wants to kill them all. Originally, the princess promised the servant to let the servant out of the palace after the matter is completed, so the servant did not want to escape by herself. ah!"

Xiu Die suddenly bit back and said with snot and tears, which immediately mobilized the mood of everyone present.

Xu Xiner knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Looking at her, and then at the princess, I immediately hated it.

Furiously, he pushed the princess hard and screamed.

"Why, Lu Yuehua, why do you want to hurt me like this? Did I displease you by entering the East Palace? You think I'm not pleasing to the eye, so if you said it earlier, why pretend to be so hypocritical!"

While talking, he tore off the thick cloak that was tied to her body and threw it aside.

Seeing Xu Xiner going crazy, the Crown Princess was also furious.

With a backhand slap, she slapped Xu Xin'er hard in the face.

"Idiot, if I wanted to harm you, I should have killed this lowly servant girl directly when I caught her, and then branded her as committing suicide in fear of crime. Why keep her here and now, and pour dirty water on me again!"

This slap knocked Xu Xiner to the ground, covering her face with tears streaming down her face.

"Enough is enough, shut up to Gu!"

Pei Yao slammed the table and uttered a cold cry.

At this moment, in his eyes, few of the people present had clean hands, which made him feel sick and irritable.

"From now on, go back to your yard alone. Concubine Fang is not allowed to go out until she wakes up. This criminal woman and lowly maidservant should be arrested and interrogated by Gu!"

He got angry, and the crowd naturally didn't dare to say any more. After saluting, they quickly dispersed.

And Xu Xin'er and Xiu Die were also taken away by Hong Zheng's men.

"Your Highness." The Crown Princess called out in a low voice.

Pei Yao raised his eyes, "Go back too, I trust you alone."

After hearing these words, the Crown Princess' complexion relaxed a bit.

She was also afraid, afraid that Pei Yao would spoil Fang Yun too much, so that the relationship between husband and wife for many years could not make Pei Yao trust her more.

After all, what Xiu Die said just now was indeed somewhat confusing.

After a few minutes of peace of mind, the crown prince didn't say any more, and turned away.

After she left, Pei Yao took the hot tea from Hong Zheng and said in a deep voice.

"With his hands and eyes open to the sky, buying the dining room and the imperial physician, it can be seen that he knows the affairs of the back house like the palm of his hand. In the East Palace alone, except for the crown princess, that is, when the Yang family was hunting in autumn, she stayed in the palace to take care of the general affairs for a month."
