Hearing this, Xiao Yahuan bit her lip, her face suddenly became strange, and her eyes dodged.

Tao Mingxi didn't let go of her slightest change, and asked coldly: "Could it be that there is really something hidden here?" ”

"I ......"

The little maid opened her mouth, saying no, no, no, if she didn't say it, the princess and princess would definitely not let her go, but if she did, the people behind her would never spare her......

"I'd advise you to say it anyway." Seeing that the other party refused to speak, Tao Mingxi was not annoyed, the prison guards in her previous life were not in vain, and they were naturally good at interrogating people or something, "There is a torture hall in the palace, if you don't want to talk about it here, the palace can also let people take you there to experience the torture tools inside first and then come out and say." ”

Xiao Tao's face instantly turned pale.

Tao Mingxi continued to speak, obviously his voice was warm, but somehow it made people shudder: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I still have heard of these in this palace, what whipping, soldering iron, toe clamping and ...... and the like"

Listening, Xiao Tao's already pale face became even worse, her kneeling body curled up in a ball, trembling, and she couldn't care about any etiquette at the moment, so she quickly interrupted her and said, "I said! I say! ”

Tao Mingxi hooked his lips and really closed his mouth, looking like he was listening.

Xiaoyun once told the slave maid that if she didn't hurry up and find a way to escape, would she ...... You're going to be killed! That's why the slave came up with this solution. ”

At the moment of life and death, Xiao Tao didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and trembled and told everything she knew.

Tao Mingxi saw that she was still so scared, and sneered in her heart, isn't this just asking for hardship? If he had spoken out earlier, why should he be intimidated by her?

"Someone will kill you?" Tao Mingxi focused on this sentence, and he already had a guess in his heart, in the backyard of this palace, isn't the biggest suspect the side concubine Sun Yingru?

It's just that Tao Mingxi didn't dare to say this nonsense, after all, there was no evidence, if he said it, maybe they would slander her!

Although Tao Mingxi is not afraid of these, it is naturally better not to get into trouble if there is unnecessary trouble, "Did she say who that person is?" ”

"No, no." Xiao Tao shook his head, Tao Mingxi looked down into the other party's eyes, stared at it for a long time before retracting his gaze, and waved his hand: "That is the case, then you ......"

I just wanted to call people away first, but halfway through my words, I remembered that there was a prince beside me, so I paused the words in my mouth, and instead looked at Xing Tianze, "Lord, is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

After all, this is the biggest uncle in the house, and it is better to consult him before giving any orders, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Nope." Xing Tianze shook his head.

Only then did he put his mind at ease, Tao Mingxi waved his hand at Xiao Tao, and continued to say what Fang had not finished speaking: "You go down first." ”

"Yes." Xiao Tao nodded, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief, and stood up and planned to go out.

Just when she stood up, her legs went limp and she almost fell again.

After standing firmly, he fled and left, as if Tao Mingxi was some kind of flood beast, obviously on the surface she seemed to be a gentle woman like jade, but she never thought that the words she said were so ruthless!

"Did the prince hear what he said clearly?" Glancing at Xing Tianze, Tao Mingxi didn't beat around the bush with him, and asked directly: "I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”

"The king would like to hear the princess's opinion." Xing Tianze didn't answer her question, but looked at Tao Mingxi with interest, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Seeing that the other party asked, Tao Mingxi didn't squirm, and replied: "That day, Xiao Yunlai wanted to ask the concubine to go to Yixian Tower in the name of Zhao Envoy, but later the concubine saw her lying, so she was locked up in the firewood room. ”

"How did the princess find out about her, she lied?" Xing Tianze asked curiously, isn't it normal for the envoy to send someone to find her and have something to say?

"The prince doesn't know," Tao Mingxi pulled out a faint smile at the other party and explained: "Zhao envoys like to do things by themselves, if there is really something to discuss with the concubine, he will definitely come in person, instead of looking for a maid to inform." ”

What she said was true, Tao Mingxi herself almost believed it, in fact, how did she know what kind of person the so-called Zhao envoy was? I've never seen it before!

It's just that she knows that Xiaoyun is lying because the other party's performance and face are wrong, if she says this, she doesn't know how to lie!

After all, some of the previous things were suspicious enough, and she didn't want to add to the previous ones.

So I can only talk about the envoy I have never met, anyway, Xing Tianze doesn't know what the real situation is.

"I see." A certain prince nodded suddenly in realization, and really didn't doubt it anymore, but listened to Tao Mingxi's explanation, he thought it was very interesting, and after thinking about it, he continued to ask: "Then in the eyes of the princess, who did this?" ”

"The concubines haven't left the palace much since they came to Xingzhao Kingdom, so it's rare to provoke people outside." Tao Mingxi was not stupid enough to say the object of suspicion directly, but carefully analyzed, waiting for the other party to guess for himself, "Then the most likely person is the person in the mansion, and since that person knows about Zhao Envoy and knows how to use his name to deceive the concubine, I am afraid that his identity is extraordinary." ”

Xing Tianze thought in his heart, and when he heard this explanation, he suddenly became enlightened, and he also had some guesses about that person.

has an extraordinary identity, and in the house, he has a grudge against Tao Mingxi.

If he guessed correctly, it should be Sun Yingru.

The woman has always held a grudge because she was not favored, and naturally wanted to teach Tao Mingxi a lesson, but she never thought of being recognized, so she tried to make him misunderstand Tao Mingxi!

This woman's mind is truly vicious!

Thinking about it, Xing Tianze's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and a little bit of fine light was revealed from it, and Tao Mingxi was a little frightened, "Lord Wang...... What's going on? ”

"Nothing." Xing Tianze came back to his senses, shook off the thoughts in his heart, and looked at Tao Mingxi with a faint smile on his face, "I'm afraid the princess already has a suspicion in her heart, right?" ”

"Whether there is anything or not, I can't find evidence, and the concubines don't dare to talk about it." Tao Mingxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a cautious attitude, and only after there was conclusive evidence of her suspicions this time, did she dare to speak confidently!

Hearing this, the man looked at her with a touch of appreciation in his eyes, and asked, "How does the princess plan to investigate this matter?" ”

"It's up to Xiaoyun's relatives." Tao Mingxi pretended to smile mysteriously, and then said: "They ran away after getting the silver, obviously because they were thieves, so this matter has nothing to do with them!" ”
