Chapter 258 What is a Holy Maiden
Su Yiyuan was helped to sit on the cushion, and immediately someone served tea and snacks, and eight handmaidens who served closely also lined up and saluted her in the hall.
"Meet Her Highness."
Su Yiyuan didn't expect this to happen, so frightened that the cup in her hand almost fell, and the hot tea dripped down, making her shake slightly.
In the hall, Qin Sitong stood in the middle of the crowd, glanced at her with a poisonous gaze, and then lowered his eyelids again.
Su Yiyuan hurriedly stabilized his mind and said in a calm tone, "No need to be polite, get up."
Everyone got up, and Zi Su and Bi Yun, who were standing at the front, glanced at her with excited eyes.
Su Yiyuan's heart warmed slightly.
After being reminded by Li Moxing and Su Jingchao, she had to realize the danger of her trip, but the existence of Zisu and Biyun made her feel a little more secure.
In the evening, after everyone finished rehearsing, Su Yiyuan returned to the hall to prepare for dinner.
As soon as I sat down, I felt strange on the couch, as if something was squirming.
She got up suspiciously, lifted the cushion and looked at it, and found that there was a red snake under the cushion, which was slightly thicker than her fingers, and was spitting out letters at her with its head upright.
Although she is not afraid of snakes, but this kind of thing happened on the first day of staying in Ziwei Pavilion, it must have been a battle post deliberately issued to her, if she chose to ignore it, the other party thought she was afraid.
Thinking about it, she called out in a deep voice, "Someone."
A maid of the palace immediately entered the temple and saluted her, "What does the Holy Maiden command?"
Su Yiyuan pointed to the snake and said, "I want to report to the emperor that someone has put poisonous snakes in my bedroom."
The red krait had a triangular head, two fangs on each of its upper and lower jaws, and fierce eyes, which made it extremely poisonous at first glance.
Only then did the palace maid discover that there was a snake there, and she was shocked and said, "The holy lady is angry, and the slave and maid will go and call someone to deal with it."
After a while, someone from the palace came in and skillfully caught the snake into the cloth bag and took it away, and the big eunuch who came with him also looked at Su Yiyuan apologetically: "Let the holy lady be frightened, the slave will definitely strictly check the people who enter the hall in the future, so as not to let such a thing happen again."
Su Yiyuan felt that he needed to show his attitude, and looked at him coldly and said, "What does my father-in-law think, what is a saint?"
The father-in-law immediately fell to his knees in fright, and prostrate and said, "The slave should die, please calm the anger of the Holy Maiden, and the slave will send someone to find out who put this snake."
Su Yiyuan snorted lightly: "Since my father-in-law said so, then I will press this matter first, but this snake should be stored here with me first, and after I find the mastermind behind it, I will ask where this snake came from."
While they were talking, there was a person standing behind the wooden door of His Highness, and when he heard Su Yiyuan say this, he quickly turned around and walked towards the corridor.
In the evening, when Zi Su and Bi Yun heard the news, they both rushed to ask Su Yiyuan how he was doing.
Zi Su looked her up and down, and said solemnly, "It seems that these people are not dead hearted, and they dare to poison you in the palace."
Su Yiyuan took a sip of tea lightly and said, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning, with the power of the Qin family and the princess's mansion, it is impossible to put only one poisonous snake so simple."
Biyun said angrily, "Since we know that they did it, why don't we report them to the emperor?" Look at the book
Su Yiyuan shook his head: "We have no evidence, and the Qin family and the princess's mansion are both involved in the royal family, and the emperor may not be on our side if he hears it."
Zi Su thought for a while and said, "In the future, I will protect you closely, the servants in the palace are really uneasy."
Su Yiyuan glanced at her in surprise.
Since she came back this time, she felt that Shiso's attitude towards her was obviously different from before, and it seemed that she was ...... I see her safety even more.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, and her heart was warm.
"Thank you, with you and Biyun here, I feel much more at ease."
Shisu nodded, and after making sure that she was safe and sound, she carefully inspected it in the hall, not even letting go of the roof beams and various gaps.
After a dreamless night, Su Yiyuan slept until dawn
When I woke up in the morning, I heard a noise outside.
Su Yiyuan frowned and sat up and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Shisu's voice immediately came: "The father-in-law has found the person who released the poisonous snake in the Ziwei Pavilion yesterday, and is punishing it outside."
Su Yiyuan sneered: "He will do superficial work."
After a pause, he said, "Why are you here? Is there something going on?"
Zi Su shook his head: "I came here by myself, and I really don't feel at ease to let others serve you closely."
Hearing this again, Su Yiyuan was not only grateful to her, but even a little like a relative.
After packing up, Su Yiyuan and Zisu pushed the door and came to the courtyard.
The father-in-law who came to her palace yesterday to catch snakes was whipping a little eunuch in the courtyard, and the little eunuch looked no more than ten years old, with a thin body, and his face was twisted in pain because of the torture, which was really not pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Su Yiyuan approaching, the father-in-law immediately turned to salute her: "I have seen the Holy Maiden, after a night of investigation, the slave has lived up to his mission, and finally found this little beast, dare to ask the Holy Maiden what to do with him?"
Su Yiyuan was not in a hurry, and said to the young man who was kneeling on the ground, "Raise your head and let me see you."
The little eunuch was trembling, and when he heard Su Yiyuan's words, he immediately raised his head, and saw that he was already crying with tears on his face.
"Holy Maiden Mingjian, the slave is wronged."
The little eunuch cried and cried, wanting to crawl closer to Su Yiyuan, but as soon as his limbs moved, someone immediately stepped forward and stepped on his legs.
Su Yiyuan looked at his appearance carefully, his face was not shocked, and asked the great eunuch, "Why does my father-in-law think that he is the one who harmed me?"
The father-in-law immediately bowed his hand and said, "Back to the Holy Maiden, someone has seen him raising poisonous snakes in his room, and there are more than one."
This made Su Yiyuan a little surprised, and looked at the little eunuch and said, "Why do you want to harm me?"
The little eunuch shook his head in a panic: "The slave is wronged, the slave raises the snake just because he likes this little thing, and it is not harmless to people's hearts, let alone let the snake bite the holy lady."
Su Yiyuan probably had an idea in his heart.
Seeing that she seemed to be moved, a ruthless color flashed in the eyes of the big eunuch, and he said: "Niangniang Mo is deceived by him, these minions are the most foxes on weekdays, let the minions greet him with torture again, don't be afraid that he won't tell the truth."
With that, he glanced left and right.
Su Yiyuan wanted to stop it, but after a change of heart, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, and left with Zisu as if nothing happened.
Walking to a no-man's land, Su Yiyuan said, "Do you think he was the one who released the poisonous snake last night?"
Shisu groaned, shook his head, and said, "I don't think so, that eunuch looks thin and tender, and I just found that he also has traces of being bitten by snakes on his fingers, so it can be seen that he said that he raised snakes as pets."
