() The two of them chatted in this courtyard. In another courtyard, a woman with a beautiful face was working on poison in the house.

With a needle made of bamboo in her hand, she walked towards a monkey in a cage.

The metal needle pierced the monkey's body, causing a piercing scream.

In a moment, the monkey was seen foaming at the mouth and falling into the cage and convulsing.

Shen Qingping's face showed a touch of unhappiness, obviously not meeting the expectations in her heart.

With a cold face, he opened the cage and dragged the monkey out and placed it on a table.

She took out a thin scalpel from the wall next to it, which was covered with surgical equipment, and slashed it into the monkey's belly......

Outside the courtyard, Hua Xiqin led a group of people to this side.

The maids and servants all stood in the courtyard, their faces terrified.

"Where's the side concubine?" Hua Xiqin glanced at the people in the courtyard and asked.

The maid and servant hurriedly knelt down, "Returning to the princess, she ...... the side concubine" All of them looked very frightened and didn't dare to continue.

Hua Xiqin gave the personal maid next to her a color, and then she walked towards the main house.

Not long after, I saw the frightened screams of the maid inside.

"Go and see." Hua Xiqin hurriedly asked the people behind her to go over and check.

A group of people walked over in fear. It's just that when they saw the scene inside, they were so frightened that they ran out.

"Kill...... Killed. ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiqin hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard and asked the maid to go to the front yard to tell the prince.

After a while, the maid came with dozens of guards.

"The princess, the prince is not in the house."

Hua Xiqin saw that so many guards were coming, and she felt a little relieved, so she let them in and have a look, and she followed behind.

The sound of footsteps outside the door did not affect the woman inside in the slightest. After dissecting the monkey's carcass, she began to develop the medicine from it.

When the guards and others reached the door, they smelled the smell of blood coming from inside.

Hua Xiqin even covered her mouth and vomited.

The maid hurriedly helped her.

The prince is not here, and Hua Xiqin is the most powerful person here. There was a murder, and she naturally couldn't retreat, so she could only walk in hard.

"Shen Qingping, you ...... You have hurt people's lives again, are you guilty? Hua Xiqin didn't dare to look at the bloody side of the table, and looked straight ahead.

The corners of Shen Qingping's mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, and she didn't pay attention to this woman.

In her eyes, the group of women in Ah Xuan's backyard will become a dead corpse when they have no use value in the future. She didn't have to worry about them now.

At present, the thing she cares about the most is to help Ah Xuan become emperor. When that happens, it's time for her to do it.

Seeing that she ignored her, Hua Xiqin felt that the majesty of her hostess was being challenged, and her face became very ugly, "Shen Qingping, don't go too far. Don't forget, you're just a concubine. ”

Even if she is a side concubine, it is just a concubine, and when her wife comes, not only does she not greet her, but also ignores her questioning, which does not take her seriously.

Shen Qingping's face turned cold, and she raised her head to stare at her.

Hua Xiqin felt the chill in her eyes, and her heart trembled, faintly retreating. But in front of many subordinates, if she admits defeat at this time, how will she take care of the backyard in the future.

"Shen Qingping, you are so presumptuous." Hua Xiqin instructed the guards behind her, "Come on, take the princess and concubine down, and wait for the lord to come back and deal with it." ”

The guards obeyed the order and headed inside.

Looking at the guards coming this way, Shen Qingping had murderous intent in her eyes, "Why are you arresting me?" "This woman, she really wants to kill her right now.

"Shen Qingping, you are careless of human life, this crime is enough for you to wait for it to be released." Hua Xiqin saw that she was at this time, and she was still not convinced, and she was very angry in her heart.

Shen Qingping sneered, "Grass cares about human life? I don't know where the human life you are talking about? ”

"Shen Qingping, don't try to quibble, isn't the person lying on this table who was murdered by you." Hua Xiqin still didn't dare to look at the bloody scene.

"Are you so sure I killed someone?" Shen Qingping glanced at the monkey that was covered in blood and couldn't see it as it was.

Hua Xiqin was suspicious, but she didn't dare to see it in person, so she raised her hand and asked the guards to check it.

The leader of the guard took the order, walked to the table, and then probed carefully, and found out the truth.

"Concubine Hui, this ......" The head of the guard didn't know what to say.

Hua Xiqin frowned and said, "I have something to say." She wanted to see what tricks Shen Qingping was playing.

The head of the guard replied: "Princess, this ...... The corpse was not a human, but a monkey. ”

"What?" Obviously, Hua Xiqin was surprised. At this time, she was no longer afraid, and took a few steps forward to look at the table.

Since the monkey is about the same size as a human, and it is covered in blood after dissection, it is impossible to see its original face at a cursory glance. But if you carefully separate, you can still see the difference.

Shen Qingping looked at the woman who was stunned, "See clearly?" Then get out of here with your people. If it weren't for Ah Xuan's face, she would have been rude to these people a long time ago.

Although Hua Xiqin wronged her, seeing that her attitude was so bad, her face turned blue with anger, "You ......" a small concubine, and dared to be so disrespectful to her again and again, this is already a big crime of disrespect. But because of the many implications behind it, she couldn't do anything about it.

"Get out!" Shen Qingping picked up the scalpel, there was still blood on the blade, and continued the movements in his hands......

The anger was so great that everyone couldn't help but feel frightened.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid next to her hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, there are still internal affairs to deal with in the house, you better go back first." ”

Hua Xiqin had a lot of pros and cons in her heart, and knew that she couldn't do anything to her at this time, so she turned around and left angrily.

The maids and guards also gradually left.

Everyone was gone, Shen Qingping called in all the slaves and servants outside the door, and after giving a stern warning, he let them go out and guard the courtyard, and don't let anyone in except the prince.

Fu Qiangrose and Yuan Ruman got the news and were rushing to this side. Before he arrived, he saw Hua Xiqin come over with a group of people with an unhappy face.

The two glanced at each other, then knelt down and said goodbye, "The slave and maid see the princess." ”

Hua Xiqin walked to their side, did not speak, raised her hand, and continued to move forward.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Yuan Ruman muttered quietly.

Fu Qiangrose was reminded by the system and had already learned what had just happened.

The figures of Hua Xiqin and the others disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and Yuan Ruman wanted to know what was going on, so he said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." "Everything related to Shen Qingping, she must understand clearly, and when necessary, add a handful of firewood and set a fire.

Fu Qiangrose did not object, and the two chased after them.
