Ah Ci pursed her lips and thought for a long time, so long that Jiahe thought that she no longer wanted to speak, she suddenly said, "Please Your Highness, give Ah Qin a whole corpse." ”

There was a little bitterness in her voice, and then almost a little choked, "She, she has been with His Highness since she was a child, and she has never suffered any hardship, although she is usually stubborn, and she has been favored by His Highness over the years, and it is always smooth sailing, she has always respected His Highness, and she has no disobedience to His Highness, the slave just doesn't want to, at this time, she can only be thrown into the mass grave at will, and even the bones can't be found." ”

Jiahe nodded slightly, "Bengong has always known that you have a good relationship, and this friendship that has grown up together since childhood is naturally incomparable to others." ”

Ah Ci said, "The slave and maid don't dare, but I just ask Your Highness for mercy." ”

Jiahe sat there, as if he was thinking about it for a while, before he spoke, "Ah Ci, you have been with this palace for a long time, and sometimes you know this palace more than this palace yourself, so in the past, this palace always liked you very much. ”

Ah Ci lowered his head, "Your Highness never dislikes slaves and maids for being stupid." ”

"You're not stupid. You've never been stupid. Jiahe laughed, "You're so smart, then you might as well guess what was the reason for this palace yesterday that you insisted on killing the personal maid who had been serving in this palace for many years?" ”

Ah Ci didn't dare to say it, she just said she didn't know.

Jiahe said, "You also know that Bengong is in a good mood today, so I asked Bengong at this time, Bengong is not such an unkind person, Bengong will give you a chance, if you guess the reason correctly, then Bengong will answer your request, how about it?" ”

Ah Ci raised her head suddenly, her heart was struggling and entangled as if she was overturning the river and the sea, was this Jiahe's temptation?

If it was the previous Jiahe, she did know it very well, but now Jiahe, she really can't see through it completely, she has Zheng Liang, the dog thief by her side, and she thinks about calculating everyone in the Jiahe Palace every day, and now Jiahe asks this sentence, she is even thinking about whether it is taught by Zheng Liang.

Jiahe looked at her for a while, and saw that she didn't answer, "Don't you say?" If you don't say it, then this palace will default that you have given up this opportunity? ”

"Your Highness, wait!" Ah Ci took a deep breath, she was like saying to herself, "bet", there are some things she misses and misses, but this is the last thing she can do for Ah Qin, if she can't do all her best to do this matter, I'm afraid that after she dies, she will go underground without a face.

In fact, she had a nightmare about Ah Qin last night, it was Ah Qin lying on the side of her bed covered in blood, crying mournfully and saying, "Sister Ah Ci, I really hurt so much, why don't you save me, why don't you help me." ”

Ah Ci steadied his mind and spoke, "The slave maid guessed that His Highness killed Ah Qin for three reasons. ”

Jiahe was interested, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Ah Ci said, "First, His Royal Highness accused Ah Qinyang of disobeying Yin, and His Royal Highness clearly ordered Ah Qin to treat him politely, but Ah Qin said yes on his face, but when he arrived at the courtyard of His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, he still had a domineering look, and he didn't seem to take His Royal Highness's words to heart at all, so His Royal Highness must be annoyed." ”

Jiahe nodded on the table, "Well, go on." ”

Ah Ci also said, "Second, His Royal Highness Ah Qin made His Royal Highness lose face in front of the prince, Ah Qin clearly knew His Royal Highness's intentions for the prince, but he also wanted to make the matter known to everyone, so that the prince also came over, but the prince misunderstood His Highness, and His Royal Highness was thinking about it, and this kind of thing would naturally be annoyed, so he was even more angry." ”

Jiahe laughed, "That's good, what else?" ”

Ah Ci finally kowtowed, "In the end, His Royal Highness is most angry that Ah Qin is still trying to deceive her superiors and subordinates, she hasn't told the truth in the end, she just shook the pot left and right, and wanted to put the blame on the people on Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess's side, she didn't think about explaining her guilt at all, Her Royal Highness can endure one, you can endure two, but the most can't bear her insincerity." ”

"That's smart." Jiahe sighed, "If Ah Qin had half of your brains, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been beaten to death by this palace like this." ”

Ah Ci touched her head on the ground, not daring to speak at all, only hoping that Jiahe was already satisfied with her answer.

Ke Jiahe suddenly spoke again, "That's it?" Nothing else to say? ”

And also?

Ah Ci was shocked, she had already said all the possibilities she thought of, but Jiahe still looked dissatisfied? Could it be that there is something else that I have missed?

After thinking about it, she added, "Ah Qin also tried to manipulate the little palace maids below to let them coax His Highness together, trying to cover the sky with one hand......"

Ke Jiahe's expression still hasn't changed, and he just doesn't seem to be satisfied.

didn't say the answer she wanted, so what was the answer she wanted.

Jiahe said, "The most important answer, if you don't say it, this palace will treat you as if you still give up." ”

What exactly? Ah Ci's eyes were red, "Please also ask Your Highness to teach the slave maid, the slave and maid really don't know what His Highness said." ”

Jiahe was silent for a while, "What you said is right, Bengong is indeed angry, but these are not enough for Bengong to kill her directly, as you said, she grew up with Bengong, there is no merit and hard work, Bengong remembers it in my heart." So what you said, this palace may blame her, punish her, and not directly kill her. ”

Jiahe asked Ah Ci to raise her head, she stared firmly into her eyes, "What is most angry about this palace is her infidelity. ”

Ah Ci was shocked, her cold hair stood upside down, and she almost screamed out of voice, "Your Highness misunderstood!" How could Achin be unfaithful? Although she is a little bad-tempered, she is only His Highness alone from beginning to end in her heart, how can she be disloyal, how can she be disloyal! ”

She burst into tears, "In the more than ten years that I have been by His Royal Highness's side, His Highness has never treated him harshly, such affection, what olive branch left by the master will make Ah Qin shake?" Your Highness, don't listen to the villain's slander, you misunderstood! ”

"If it's someone else's olive branch, then maybe it won't be accepted, but if it's an olive branch from the queen mother? I'm afraid I'm going to scramble to get it, right? Jiahe sneered, she had always felt in her heart that Ah Ci and Ah Qin were the same.

What's more, Ah Ci is so much smarter than Ah Qin, as long as the queen mother is not stupid, she knows who is more important.

Ah Ci was stunned, His Royal Highness is suspicious - the queen?

How so? Mother and daughter are of the same heart, even if they are a palace maid, what is the need to divide your people and my people?

"What Your Highness means, the slave and maid really don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Jiahe took another sip of tea, "Then the palace will explain it to you." You and Ah Qin, since childhood, have been the people who have been placed by the queen mother's side in the palace, saying that they care about and take care of the palace, although they are also doing such things, but the master you are ultimately loyal to is only the queen mother, so in the things that need to be decided, you will first consider standing in the perspective of the queen mother, not the perspective of the palace. ”

Seeing that Ah Ci straightened up, he was about to argue, and Jiahe continued, "Take Ah Qin this time, is it really because she deliberately provoked Jinyang's people? Bengong thought that she was afraid that it was the queen mother's instructions, so that she would ruin the image of Bengong in front of the prince, so that Bengong would dispel the idea of marrying Beiyin, you look at Aqin, isn't it perfect? ”

Ah Ci hurriedly said, "Your Highness! The slave maid dared to guarantee that Ah Qin was definitely not the queen's mother, and she would never do anything to betray her master, but only for the sake of His Highness. ”

She almost burst into tears, "Not to mention, Niangniang and His Royal Highness are mothers and daughters, will the Queen Mother harm His Highness?" If His Royal Highness thinks that Ah Qin's approach may have been instructed by the queen's mother, in fact, the two of them just thought of going together and wanted to be good for His Highness. ”

"Presumptuous!" Jiahe slapped the table, and she reprimanded, "Who is the master and who is the slave." Just because the queen mother can do those things and say those things doesn't mean that a slave can do it. You have a lot of money, and now you dare to be my master. ”

Ah Ci instantly knew that she had said the wrong thing, she hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Highness, the slave maid lost her words, the slave maid just wanted to say that Ah Qin really didn't mean that, he really didn't dare to betray His Highness, and it really wouldn't be someone else's." ”

Jiahe laughed, "This palace killed Ah Qin this time, just to tell you, and also to tell all the people in the courtyard of the palace, and even tell the queen mother, don't think that you can be the master of the palace, let alone try to manipulate the life of the palace in the name of being good for me, this palace wants to do whatever it wants, no matter who it is or what it does, it is not easy to do it." ”

Ah Ci kowtowed, "Your Highness, there has always been only one Your Highness in the hearts of the slaves, and the respect for the queen is also because Niangniang is the queen mother of Her Royal Highness, and because Niangniang is a blood relative of Her Royal Highness, if not, how can the slaves and maids listen to Niangniang say a word more." ”

She spoke earnestly, and Jiahe was stunned for a moment, but she thought in her heart that even if Ah Ci was not, Ah Qin must be so, otherwise there would be no reason for her actions, unless she was really such a fool.

Jiahe was about to speak, but there was a sudden knock on the door, "Your Highness, but it's ready, and the prince will arrive in a while." ”

Zheng Liang's voice suddenly sounded at the door, and his voice was gentle and smiling, "If Your Highness still has something to say to Sister Aci, then the slave will wait at the door for a while." ”

Jiahe thought about it and felt that there was nothing more to say, so he said, "That's it, you come in." ”

Zheng Liang pushed the door in, Ah Ci just looked up, and the eyes of the two collided in an instant.

She could clearly see the smile in his eyes.
