famous eldest daughter

Chapter 576
Qinghong and Concubine Tong's maidservants were led to the palace and came in side by side.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw the palace maid kneeling on the ground, in ragged clothes, with bloodstains on her face. Her face turned red and turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear.

He couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his mouth, his face full of sadness.

The maid who came with her saw this, her legs trembled with fright, she didn't know what happened, she stumbled, walked side by side with Qinghong into the center of the dance floor, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

"Did you find a change of clothes for her?" The emperor looked away from Xiao Jingyu, turned to look at the two palace ladies kneeling on the ground shivering, and asked in a deep voice, his voice was hoarse and low, with an irresistible tone. majesty.

When the palace maid heard that the emperor mentioned changing clothes, she immediately trembled. She lay on the ground with her face pressed to the ground and said tremblingly: "I deserve to die. I took the wrong clothes. I deserve to die. I deserve to die..."

She grabbed the ground with her head, and her forehead was covered in blood and flesh for a moment, but she kowtowed desperately as if she couldn't feel the pain at all.

When the emperor heard what she said, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You deserve to die!"

The servant girl froze immediately, as if she had fallen into a snake pit where a poisonous snake was swimming. The next moment, before the emperor could ask a question, she explained.

"This servant originally just married Concubine Tong from the Clothes Bureau. She was going to wear the skirt for today's banquet. As she was walking in, she happened to meet them coming in and asked her to find something to change into. The two of them were one of the empress's confidants. , one is the celebrity in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the servant did not dare to neglect and delay, so she immediately put down Concubine Tong’s dress, turned around, found one of her own, and gave it to her."

"However, Your Majesty also knows that in Concubine Tong's palace, the clothes of slaves and maidservants are all blue, and the dress that Concubine Tong will wear for today's banquet is almost the same color as the servants' palace attire. The servants are in a hurry Then, I made a mistake for a moment and got it wrong."

"After they changed their clothes, the slave sent them out of the palace. I thought it was a little strange that she was wearing the slave's palace clothes, but she didn't realize that she had taken Concubine Tong's clothes by mistake. It wasn't until the slave returned to the house that she saw , the slave's palace clothes are neatly placed there, but the one belonging to Concubine Tong that was originally placed on the tray is missing."

When she mentioned this point, Qing Hong's face was suddenly full of surprise, "You said she was wearing the clothes of Concubine Tong? No wonder I felt something wrong when I helped her put it on. I didn't think about it at the time, but Such a big mistake was made.”

Saying that, Qinghong also kowtowed and confessed, "This slave deserves to die. It was this slave who helped her change her clothes without even noticing. This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die..."

Qinghong and the palace maid were uneasy because they were handed the wrong palace attire by mistake. They were frightened and kowtowed to blame.

The emperor's expression changed drastically.

After a moment of silence, he asked the palace maid again, "Do you think the dress she is wearing today was originally what Concubine Tong would wear to the banquet?"

The maid nodded hurriedly, "Yes!"

After receiving her affirmative answer again, the emperor's fist covering the armrest was clenched tightly, and a black mist surged up in his gloomy eyes, thick and filled with malevolence.

The people in the house were immediately shocked by His Majesty's rage and did not dare to move. Even Xiao Jingyu was shaken.

She opened her mouth, wanting to bring the topic to Gu Yuqing again, but she found that when His Majesty was so angry, she was so scared that she couldn't speak.

"Let me ask you, did you get this dress directly from the Clothing Bureau? You were the only one who handled it. Has anyone else come into contact with it?"

The palace maid didn't know why the emperor asked such a question, but she was brave enough to say, "I took it back directly from the clothing bureau and went all the way back to Concubine Tong's palace. I didn't meet anyone else."

After hearing her words, the emperor turned his sharp eyes to Qinghong, "You took this dress and put it on her. When did you separate? Who did you meet before you separated?"

Qinghong looked confused and answered honestly: "Because she wanted to help the Queen look for something, after coming out of Concubine Tong's palace, her servants were with her all the way. They didn't separate from her until she went to the banquet hall to return to her life after searching in vain. .”

"Looking for something?" The emperor had long been convinced of the suspicion in his heart, but he still couldn't help but confirm again, "What are you looking for?"

When the emperor said this, the queen who had been paralyzed on one side wanted to struggle up and threaten Qinghong, but before she could move her fingers, Qinghong blurted out the answer, "Looking for cats, keep all the time." A whitish white cat.”

Whether it was an illusion or something else, the queen felt that Qinghong's words were said with extra force, and the sound penetrated her ears.

As soon as Qing Hong finished speaking, the air in the hall suddenly cooled and condensed. Everyone was stunned and gasped. Only Xiao Jingyu stood up, stepped out of the table in front of her, and walked a few steps to Qing Hong. , raised his foot and kicked her in the heart, "You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

The rage that was like a stormy sea had long since made Xiao Jingyu's remaining sanity disappear.

It was clear just now that all the evidence pointed to Gu Yuqing. It was Gu Yuqing who gave the cat the orange, and there was a mechanism in Gu Yuqing's bracelet...

But all the things before were no match for Qinghong's words at this moment.

This cat belongs to the Queen.

How could it be possible? The mother obviously hated these pets so much, how could she keep cats!

Xiao Jingyu felt that the anger was swimming in her blood, going straight to the top of her head. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her foot and kicked Qinghong again. Her face was ferocious and her facial features were trembling. "Tell me, what on earth did Gu Yuqing give you?" Good thing, you have to speak for her!"

Qinghong couldn't withstand Xiao Jingyu's two furious kicks with all her strength, and she suddenly collapsed on one side, with dark red blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, which fell on her plain white face, which was particularly dazzling.

Holding her chest, Qinghong almost rolled over, knelt down, and kowtowed: "Princess, I understand that I have been serving the princess with all my heart, but I really don't understand what the princess just said!"

"I don't understand? I don't understand why you said that the cat belongs to my mother!" Xiao Jingyu roared with all her strength.

Qinghong's face was blank, "She said that!" she said, pointing to the queen's personal maid who was scratched by the cat.

Xiao Jingyu was about to have a fit when she heard the harsh sound of a teacup falling to the ground. Then, the emperor angrily said, "Enough! Why are you still messing around? She is your personal maid, and the queen If she knew what happened here, even if I beat her to death, she would definitely not say that the cat belongs to the queen."

"Does the father believe what this cheap servant says?" Xiao Jingyu said with a look of disbelief on her face and her jaw dropped.

The emperor sighed helplessly and glanced in the direction of the queen with a frown.

It’s not that he believed or disbelieved anyone, but the Queen herself was so frightened that she lost control of herself, and the floor was wet all over. Isn’t this enough to explain everything!
