Song Yi stepped forward, and said slowly, not seeing any lack of confidence in her at all.

Zi Lin on the side was behind the old lady, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the real king.

Although Zilin is only sixteen years old, she has also reached the age of spring. She believes that the so-called suave and young talents should be like the real king.

Zilin is an ignorant girl in her teens, knowing that she shouldn't fall in love with the true king, but she still has feelings for the true king uncontrollably. Although the love for the true king is unrequited love, Zilin has been secretly burying this emotion, and no one dares to tell it. Because she knew that the old lady was hostile to the true king. If the old lady knew her feelings for the True King, Zilin knew that she would no longer be able to stay in the True King's Mansion. If he leaves the True King's Mansion like this, he will never see the True King he loves again, and Zilin is extremely unwilling.

Therefore, over the years, Zilin has been burying her feelings deep in her heart. Except for the good sister Xiangrui, Zilin didn't tell anyone else.

Of course, Xiangrui didn't want to see Zilin sink with her own eyes. She thinks that Zilin has just been deceived by the real king's good-looking skin, and has forgotten their identity. They are just girls from the True King's Mansion, how can the True King look at them? Not to mention, Zilin is still the girl next to the old lady. It is even more impossible to deal with the real king. Therefore, Xiangrui has been persuading Zilin to give up that unrealistic relationship. In the future, find an honest man to marry.

But the true king has not been married for many years, so Zilin has always been ruthless, and she has always disagreed with the marriage proposed by her parents. The old lady thought that Zi Lin was like a fragrant stamen and was reluctant to leave her side, but in fact, how did she know that Zi Lin was just to not leave the True King's Mansion and to be able to see the True King occasionally.

Zi Lin has always liked the True King silently, and she doesn't expect to get a response from the True King, she just hopes that every time the True King comes to Qingsong Courtyard, she can see him from afar. Zi Lin thought that her love for the true king was desireless, but when she knew that the true king had married Song Yi, Zi Lin was still uncontrollably angry and sad. She didn't think that Song Yi married the real king for the sake of the real king, but thought that the lowly Song Yi had tarnished the identity of the real king and made the real king ridiculed.

But Zilin was soft-spoken, and he didn't dare to tell the true king not to marry Song Yi as his wife, so he only silently prayed in his heart that Song Yi would die outside when he disappeared. But Song Yi not only came back, but also continued to marry the real king, and now she has become a real princess. The feeling in Zilin's heart is that she can't communicate with outsiders, she is only sad alone, and she can't help herself.

Today, the courtyard is bustling with activity. But Zi Lin's eyes only have the true king Zhu Xi. The others didn't notice Zi Lin, who was silent on the side, and Zi Lin also thought that she was hiding it well. But I didn't find it, someone had already seen it.

Zi Lin looked at the real king like this, but the more she looked at it, the more sad she became. The relationship between the real king and the princess in front of her is not as good as she imagined, and it is not difficult to see the love in the eyes of the real king looking at the princess. Zi Lin turned her eyes away from the real king in some frustration, but just met the eyes of the fourth lady, Zi Lin saw the other party's clear expression, and felt that her mind had been known by the other party, so she was so frightened that she quickly turned her eyes away and ran away.

Zhu Shanlei just discovered by accident that Zi Lin, who was beside the old lady, had been secretly looking at the real king. I didn't expect Miss Zilin to have that kind of affection for the real king? Just now, she deliberately let Zi Lin know that she had been noticed, but she didn't expect Zi Lin's reaction to make Zhu Shanlei sure that Zi Lin likes the real king.

Is this really interesting? Everyone knows that the old lady doesn't like the real king, wouldn't it be interesting if the old lady knew that Zilin around her liked the real king?

Zhu Shanlei hid the sneer in her eyes, and raised her head with a harmless expression.

"Miss Fifth is just a five-year-old child, and if anyone wants to attack her, there is no need to use such a troublesome method. After all, poisoning with food is too obvious," Song Yi said.

Unexpectedly, everyone's attention was grabbed again.

"So, the first thing to figure out now is, why did Aunt Su buy persimmons and come back?"

"Aunt Su, let me ask you. Did you buy today's pastries, or did someone ask you to buy them? ”

Su Xiaoqin was named, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "The slave family heard that the old lady was going to invite the princess and the ladies and ladies to a banquet, so they thought that everyone would enjoy the flowers and eat together, so I asked my girl Juan'er to go to the Chengnan Zhenwei Fang to buy pastries." I really don't know if persimmons and crabs can't be eaten together."

Su Xiaoqin felt that she had done something bad with good intentions, and she regretted it.

"You don't know? The pastries at Zhenwei Fang are very expensive. How can you, an aunt, spend so much money to prepare pastries with only so much money a month? The old lady didn't arrange for you to prepare these? If you don't have ulterior motives, I won't believe it. Cao sneered and said, "You slut, I saw that you left your hometown and returned to Beijing with your master from Jiangnan, and you were alone, so I agreed to let you enter the door." But what have you done since you walked in the door? ”

"First of all, I couldn't manage the people around me, slandered my wife, and told me nothing; Now, I have nothing to do, I want to buy some pastries to poison Miss Five. I think you did it on purpose. Do we have to jump in the second room, so that our whole family is not at peace? ”

Cao's aggressive tone made Su Xiaoqin unable to deny it, but she couldn't say anything to refute it.

Song Yi couldn't see that the Cao family was so arrogant, so he said, "Second lady, don't worry. Listening to Aunt Su continue, the rights and wrongs are all clear-eyed people, and they can see it."

"Princess, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the princess thinks that Mrs. Ben is messing around and can't tell right from wrong? Cao turned around and scolded Song Yi.

Song Yi sneered, it seemed that the Cao family still remembered to eat or not, "Cao's family, I call you the second lady, for the sake of you being in the palace for so many years." Do you really think you're the second lady? Since you accuse Su of murdering Miss Five, do you have any evidence? If you can come up with evidence, I won't talk nonsense and admit my mistake to you on the spot. If you can't produce evidence, then you just shut up and don't waste everyone's time by saying something here that you don't have."

Song Yi didn't want to get used to Cao's stinky problem. Cao wanted to say more, but was forced down by the eyes of the true king.

Zhu Xi looked at Cao, although he didn't speak, everyone could see his dissatisfaction at this time.

Cao Shi felt like he was being targeted by a fierce beast for no reason, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he obediently shut up.

Song Yi didn't know that the Cao family was under pressure from the true king, and when he saw that the other party stopped talking, he said again, "Aunt Su, this is about yourself." If you can't prove your innocence, it's useless for others to say more."

"Princess, the slave family knows. The slave family must know everything, "Aunt Su knows that what the real princess said is true, and she was made like this by the Cao family, if she can't find out the truth, the Cao family will definitely not let her go."

"Okay" Song Yi knew that Aunt Su was not a stupid person, and then turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, the poisoning of the fifth young lady, although there is no big consequence. But if we don't investigate it today, it will leave a shadow in everyone's minds. Aunt Su is now pregnant again, and letting her be suspected of murdering Miss Fifth will only make her uneasy, and it will not be good for the baby."

"Princess, you just investigate. This is a family matter, so I didn't go to the government to investigate. Just in case. You are good at investigating, if you can peel back the cocoon and find the truth. I think we're all very convinced."

The old lady didn't say anything strange at this time, after all, Song Yi had to take the lead in investigating the truth.

Song Yi no longer shirked, nodded and agreed, "Then I will be disrespectful."

Then, he continued to ask, "Where is Juan'er?" ”

Song Yi asked, and a little girl came out from the side, about twenty, with an ordinary appearance, but she looked good and beautiful.

"You are Juan'er," Song Yi asked.

"Yes, Princess," Juan'er knelt on the ground and saluted.

When Song Yi saw that he was well-mannered, he knew that he was a person who acted properly, and his suspicions almost dissipated.

"Miss Juan'er, how long have you been in the palace?"

"Back to the princess. The slave maid was originally served by the old lady's side, and Aunt Su is now pregnant, and the old lady is afraid that there is no proper person around her to take care of her, so she sent the slave and maid to Aunt Su's room to serve."

"Oh, it turns out that Miss Juan'er is the girl next to the old lady. No wonder she speaks in such a coherent manner and behaves thoughtfully and politely," Song Yi praised Juan'er from the bottom of his heart.

Du Shi on the side listened to it, and he was also very useful, and said with a slight smile on his face, "Juan'er, this girl, although she is not very old, has served by my side for many years, and she has never made a mistake, and I also like it very much." Last time, in Ping'er's matter, I felt that although Su's temper was good, it was softer. So, he sent Juan'er to Aunt Su's side."

"Old lady, the choice is very suitable. I just listened to Miss Juan'er's answer, and I think I must be a very careful person. Aunt Cui needs such a person to serve her, so that there will be no mistakes" Aunt Cui took the opportunity to pat the fart and praise Juan'er on the surface, in fact, it was said that the old lady was well-trained, and it was good to cultivate a girl casually.

Du Shi was used in his heart and smiled at Cui Shi. The Wang family on the side pretended not to see and turned his eyes to look elsewhere.

Song Yi asked Juan'er to come out, but she didn't come to let Aunt Cui praise the old lady. He continued to ask, "Why did Aunt Su let you buy pastries?" So where did you go to buy pastries? And why did you buy persimmons back? ”

"Back to the princess. The old lady sent someone the night before yesterday to say that she would set up a chrysanthemum banquet in the palace garden today and invite my aunt to attend. When my aunt heard about it, she was very happy. But I was afraid that I wouldn't prepare anything, so I went to eat, and I didn't want to go. I specially asked the slave maid to go to the most famous pastry shop in Kyoto to buy some sweets. ”

The next day, my aunt took the slave maid to the treasure shop to buy pastries. I heard that there were pastries in Zhenwei Fang that were not available in other houses, so my aunt bought some of them all back. Among them, there are persimmons. Juan'er said impartially and clearly.

"Then Miss Yijuan'er, does your aunt know that persimmons and crabs can't be eaten together?"

Juan'er thought for a while and said, "The slave maid can't be sure if the aunt knows."

Juan'er's answer made Song Yi very satisfied, and she couldn't help but look at her more.

Although Juan'er's answer doesn't prove anything, Song Yi can be sure that Juan'er's girl is very smart and knows what to say. It is worthy of being personally trained by the old lady Du Shi.

Although she is now Su's girl, she has passed by the old lady's side after all. Naturally, she could still guess the old lady's thoughts, and the old lady liked the Su family, so Juan'er did not fall into the trap and say something unfavorable to the Su family. But when a lie is told, it takes a lot of lies to fulfill the lie, so Juan'er balances the pros and cons and chooses "truth".

It is this kind of "truthfulness" that makes her firm and more authentic in her speech.

"Miss Juan'er, what kind of person do you think Aunt Su is?" Song Yi continued to ask.

"Princess, this" Juan'er didn't expect the princess to ask this question, and she was a little hesitant.

"Miss Juan'er, don't worry about it. To put it bluntly."

"Juan'er, the princess asked you to say it, you can say it"

"Okay, old lady" Juan'er listened to the old lady's words, and then said, "Although the slave maid has not been with Aunt Su for a long time, she can see that Aunt Su is a typical southern woman. Gentle and kind, affectionate and sentimental. She never treats her subordinates harshly, and when others work for her, she is also polite and thanks."

"Cut, only do these superficial things," Cao said with a sneer.

"Second lady, although the slave maid is a subordinate, she has also stayed by the old lady's side for several years. I think I've learned a little bit about how to look at people. If Aunt Su pretended in front of the slave maid, the slave and maid would definitely be able to see it. ”

"Juan'er, thank you" Su Xiaoqin listened to Juan'er argue with Cao's for herself, grateful, her eyes reddened.

"Auntie, the slave is just telling the truth. You don't have to be so moved," Juan'er said with her head held high.

Song Yi was a little surprised when he saw this. Just now, I always thought that Juan'er was just serving by Su's side for a while. didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Juan'er would be able to refute the Cao family for the Su family. It stands to reason that Juan'er, such a calm girl, will not be like this. It can only be said that the Su family has this kind of charm, and he can subdue Juan'er in such a short time.

Song Yi also felt for the first time that Su was a terrible woman.
