Chapter 72: Showing the Horse's Feet (2)
"Are you saying that this palace maid is the one who the princess wants to arrest?" Qi Sheng's knee-jerk reaction was always faster than his thoughts, and he had already taken action to restrain the palace maid before he thought of asking Yutuan.
"The princess is now serving Yubai and Shuyan, and if she wants to pass the word, naturally one of them will come, how could she send a low-level palace maid to come? Could it be that Lord Qi would believe the words of a low-ranking palace maid? "Yu Tuan already wants to be white, this is just a temptation by Luo Junnian, and the murderer also tests her.
If she was stupid, she might have been abandoned by Luo Junnian by now.
Hearing Yu Tuan's words, Qi Sheng was a little embarrassed, just now he really believed in this little palace maid, and he already wanted Yu Tuan to go with her.
"Sister Yutuan, why are you spewing blood? I'm really here on the orders of the princess, you can't frame me! The little palace maid was pinched by Qi Sheng's shoulder, and tears of pain came down, but she still refused to admit that she was sent by someone else.
"How can you, a low-level palace maid who can only sweep in the outer hall, have the qualifications to convey the princess's orders, it is because your master has to send you because he has bribed the people of the inner hall?" Yu Tuan wouldn't believe a word of this little palace maid, after all, even she, the palace maid in charge, felt that this little girl was very raw, and Shuyan and Yubai wouldn't know her, so how could they hand over such a big thing to her?
"Sister Yutuan, you can't splash sewage on my head because you want to get away with it, although I am a low-level palace maid, I can't be slandered casually!" The little palace maid grinned in pain, but she still bit the jade tuft in her words.
"You are now in the hands of Lord Qi, as long as the Lord goes to the princess to verify it, won't you be exposed? It's better for you to confess who instructed you now, and maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”
The appearance of this little palace maid undoubtedly gave Yu Tuansheng hope, if she could find the real culprit behind the scenes, her suspicion would be completely lifted.
Therefore, she was very patient to analyze the pros and cons with the little palace maid.
"Sister Yutuan, Yin Yin is what you do, why do you have to rely on me? Even if I die here today, I won't confess your wishes! With that, the little palace maid rushed towards the pillar next to her with all her might.
Fortunately, Qi Sheng had been paying attention to the little palace maid, and as soon as she tried his best, he pulled her back without letting her blood splash on the spot.
"Death? How can it be so easy! Come on, throw them into the inner prison and interrogate them well! Be sure to find out the results! As soon as he thought that this palace maid almost caused him to derelict his duties, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back, this is the palace, and the crime of dereliction of duty is almost a capital crime.
What's more, this palace maid is very likely to be able to clear the suspicion of the jade cluster, of course, he has to interrogate it well.
"Lord Qi, before the results of the interrogation, the slave and maid will wait here, lest they be framed for the crime of absconding in fear of crime."
A low-level palace maid is about to commit suicide by hitting a pillar after being revealed, no matter how you look at it, she is just a puppet to be used, so Yu Tuan didn't expect to ask for the mastermind's information.
And she now has a guess: the mastermind is waiting for them to relax their vigilance at the moment because they caught the bait he released, maybe Qi Sheng will let her go alone, and this is the time when he can really do it.
When the time comes, she will become a corpse, and naturally no matter how big the grievance is, she will not be able to defend it.
