Chu Qingli was full of food and drink, holding his chin and looking at Xiao Pan not far away, his eyebrows were like stars, his temperament was outstanding, and he was really a beautiful woman.

Chu Qingli just looked at it, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and at some point, Chu Qingli lost the battle with Zhou Gong, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chu Qingli didn't sleep deeply, although his eyes were closed, his head was very clear. Chu Qingli was sleeping on his arm, suddenly his ears moved, and he heard a sound outside the door, but it didn't look like a person from the house was passing by, Chu Qingli didn't open his eyes, but his brows were furrowed, and he pricked up his ears more and more to listen.

This man's actions are a little sneaky, sneaky? Chu Qingli's head suddenly sobered up a lot, could it be that there were also people with different intentions in King Mu's Mansion?

Chu Qingli's eyes opened instantly, and when he met Xiao Pan's heavy gaze, he knew that he also heard the movement outside. Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan exchanged glances, and then Chu Qingli got up and secretly came to the door, his ears attached to the door frame, carefully distinguishing what was going on outside the door.

Chu Qingli only felt that there seemed to be a sound of water outside, and there was a loud sound. When Chu Qingli judged that there was only one person outside the door, he slammed the door open.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the person outside turned around and hurried away, Chu Qingli was in a hurry to chase, but he didn't notice the abnormality under his feet, and stepped out of the door, but he felt that his feet slipped, he couldn't stand at all, and almost slipped, fortunately, Xiao Pan had already come to Chu Qingli's side at this time, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he steadily supported Chu Qingli.

Chu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at his feet, what was that shiny thing like water? There were also slip marks on Chu Qingli's feet. Chu Qingli leaned down, touched the ground with his fingers, rubbed his fingertips again, and then looked up at Xiao Pan and said, "It's oil." "It seems that this man is deliberately trying to make people slip.

Although the oil was poured in front of Xiao Pan's study, even if Xiao Pan fell, he would not be seriously injured, and the other party would take risks because of this. Obviously, these oils were prepared for Chu Qingli, and if Chu Qingli accidentally fell, it might cause a slippery tire.

Xiao Pan obviously thought of this, so his face was dark and scary, his lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word, Chu Qingli knew that Xiao Pan should be extremely angry at this time.

Chu Qingli pretended to be calm and said, "Don't you need to send someone to investigate?" "It seems that Mu Wangfu has to be rectified well, why have people done something in Mu Wangfu three or four times.

Xiao Pan just held Chu Qingli's hand tightly, as if Chu Qingli would disappear as soon as he let go. Xiao Pan's tone made the hairs stand on end, as if a few words popped out of between her teeth, "She can't run far." ”

Sure enough, before the time for a cup of tea arrived, the person at the door before was brought in by Xiao Yun with his arms imprisoned. Chu Qingli looked at the appearance of this maid, and only felt that her face was very raw, as if she had never seen it in the mansion.

Chu Qingli held a serious face, questioned the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Who are you, why did you pour oil in front of the prince's study?" ”

The maid Xu was shocked by Xiao Pan's majesty, and kept her head down and didn't dare to look at them. The maid's voice was small, but she just explained: "It was the slave who accidentally poured the oil on the ground, and it was not intentional, the slave and maid knew that she was wrong, and she will be careful next time." ”

"If it's an accident, what are you running when I open the door just now? If you don't have a ghost in your heart, why do you need to be so flustered? Chu Qing leaned forward, looked at the somewhat shrunken maid in front of him, and said forcefully.

"That'...... That's because...... Because the slave was worried about the punishment of the prince and the princess, she ran away in a hurry, worried that the prince would be blamed. The slave didn't admit that it was intentional, but was just a momentary negligence.

Chu Qingli listened to her quibbles and sneered, "It turns out that I and the prince are suspicious?" The maid didn't dare to take it, yes or no, it was extremely inappropriate.

Chu Qingli took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Okay, you said that you accidentally spilled the oil, then I will ask you, first, why did you pass by the door of the prince's study with the oil, who ordered you to do this?" This is not the way to the kitchen. Second, what vessel was the oil used to carry it, and why did it fall to the ground with neither sound nor fragments? Don't even see a mark on the ground? If you can answer these two questions, I believe you didn't mean to. ”

The maid was flustered for a while, her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think of a suitable excuse to explain Chu Qingli's doubts, so she could only stumble and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Chu Qing looked at the maid for a long time, with a confident look, which made the maid's heart beat like a drum. "What? Don't know how to explain it? This brings us back to my other question, who is it! Sent you to do this? ”

Regarding Chu Qingli's previous question, the maid really didn't know how to answer, but when she heard Chu Qingli ask the mastermind behind the scenes, the maid was sharp-tongued and kept kowtowing to the ground, "Princess, the slave maid really didn't do it intentionally, and there is no mastermind behind the scenes, so please let the princess let the slave go, right?" ”

"Let you go? So how to solve it today? Chu Qingli didn't laugh angrily, and asked the maid with a soft smile.

"Slave maid...... Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die. As the maid spoke, she picked up her palm and twitched her cheeks mercilessly, Chu Qingli felt pain just by listening to it, this girl was also ruthless, and she was able to put such a heavy hand on herself.

"Okay, even if you slap your face swollen, this matter can't just be left alone, otherwise in the future, how will I discipline the people in the palace? If you confess the person behind the curtain today, the prince and I may be able to open up and let you live. "The reason why these subordinates are at the mercy of others is just to make money, but if they don't die, no amount of money is just a pile of waste paper.

A trace of hesitation flashed on the maid's face, but it disappeared in an instant, "Princess, there is really no one behind the scenes, everything is just the slave maid's own carelessness, and please ask the princess and the prince to be clear." The maid was already choked, Chu Qingli looked at her appearance, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she hadn't experienced anything serious, and when Chu Qingli asked her like this, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and her eyes were misty, Chu Qingli felt that if she said one more word, the maid would cry.

Chu Qingli sighed, this is a question that I don't know, and I know how to cry when I ask, the choked sound of the maid is accompanied by the sound of cicadas outside the door, and Chu Qing is annoyed when he listens. Chu Qingli turned his head, looked at Xiao Pan and asked, "What do you think?" ”
