When Luluo saw Mi Xiaoqi again, she couldn't say a word at all, she almost threw herself at Mi Xiaoqi's feet and burst into tears.
Emma, Mi Xiaoqi's heart was broken when she cried, she squatted down, and hugged Luluo gently, "Okay, Luluo, don't cry, I know you didn't do it, you will never betray me yes, right?"
Mi Xiaoqi's soft voice sounded, and Luluo became more and more wronged, nodding and crying even more sadly.
It took a lot of effort for Mi Xiaoqi to calm down Lu Luo's emotions.
"Miss, there is really no Luluo." Luluo wiped her tears, "Servant, servant, when preparing dinner, I only left for a while. At that time, my servant had a stomachache, so I went to the latrine, and specially told Peony to look at it. on."
"Peony?" Mi Xiaoqi glanced at Hei Li.
The black fox understood, turned around and went out, and returned after a while, "Miss."
"explain."
"Peony hanged herself in the room." Hei Li said in a deep voice.
"I'll go and have a look." Mi Xiaoqi got up, Lu Luo had already calmed down, and followed behind Mi Xiaoqi.
In the yard where the maid lived, a group of people surrounded her. Peony's body had already been put down and stopped in the yard, while the rest of the maids chattered.
Seeing Mi Xiaoqi coming, everyone hastily saluted respectfully.
Although Hongqi's miscarriage has not been investigated yet, rumors spread quickly in the palace. Everyone is saying that the prince connived at Mi Xiaoqi and killed Hongqi's child, and even went to the dungeon to pick her up. Although Mi Xiaoqi does not have the halo of a princess, she is indeed someone who is on the prince's heart, and no one dares to offend.
Mi Xiaoqi squatted down and looked at the dead man on the ground. There was a deep strangle mark on his neck, and a faint fragrance emanated from his body. If you didn't pay attention, you would think it was a woman's unique smell.
In fact, it is poisonous, and it will die under the flowers.
"Poisoned and died." Mi Xiaoqi stood up, "Hei Li, come here with your ears."
The black raccoon stepped forward quickly, "Someone used flowers to kill Peony to commit suicide, you go to the pharmacy to check."
"Yes." The black raccoon took the order and left.
"Luluo, let's go back first." Mi Xiaoqi said, and Luluo quickly followed, her face was obviously pale from being frightened, and she returned to Mingyue Pavilion.
Mi Xiaoqi found that there were three times more guards in Mingyue Pavilion than usual, and they were all strangers she had never seen before. All the maids serving in Mingyue Pavilion were transferred away, and Li Ming was the only eunuch left.
"Where did everyone go?" Mi Xiaoqi asked Li Ming.
"If you want to return to the girl, the prince said that he will arrange another confidant to come over. I would rather catch you by mistake than let her go." Li Ming replied cautiously.
"Okay, go get busy," Mi Xiaoqi waved her hand, no longer obsessed with the issue of the maid. Indeed, she is also suspicious of the maid of Mingyue Pavilion. She only carries Luluo. Others are just familiar, so they can't be completely trusted.
Huh, isn't the prince's life easy? There are so many hidden arrows to guard against. Mi Xiaoqi feels sorry for Bei Gongyan. Even if he was born in the royal family, he can't live freely. It's better to be born in an ordinary family.
Just as Mi Xiaoqi sat down, an unexpected visitor came.
Hong Qi.
Accidents of accidents.
"Mi Xiaoqi, why did you come out of the dungeon? You murdered my child!" Hong Qi looked at Mi Xiaoqi with a ferocious face, her hands trembling uncomfortably.
Mi Xiaoqi looked at Hong Qi, and said coolly, "Hong Qi, you know best if I murdered your child."
"What does this concubine know? This concubine knows that it is you, that you murdered this concubine's child, this concubine's younger sister, this concubine and you are at odds!" Hong Qi stared at Mi Xiaoqi fiercely, wishing to tear him apart. her.
"Your child, your sister?" Mi Xiaoqi was confused.
"Mi Xiaoqi, don't look at this concubine with your innocent eyes, it's disgusting, if it weren't for you, how could this concubine's younger sister be secretly killed by the prince!" Hong Qi stared at Mi Xiaoqi, if eyes can kill, At this moment, Miss Seven has already been tortured.
"The prince didn't do it, I asked." Mi Xiaoqi said firmly.
"If you say no, then you are not." Hong Qi obviously had a look of disbelief, "Mi Xiaoqi, this concubine knows that the prince must have some evidence to release you, and maybe his father will never be able to go down. "Hong Qi suddenly laughed desolately, with a creepy voice.
"So, this concubine, I won't live long." Hong Qi suddenly flashed determination in her eyes, "So, before my concubine dies, what I have to do is to kill you and take you to hell with me!"
"Side concubine, what are you going to do!" Lu Luo hurriedly stood in front of Mi Xiaoqi.
Mi Xiaoqi's heart warmed.
"Kill!" Hong Qi uttered a word fiercely, and the maid behind her rushed towards Mi Xiaoqi with two sharp short knives from her sleeves.
Your sister even brought a killer with her.
Mi Xiaoqi swallowed, feeling like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered every minute.
Luluo regards death as her home, and the maid killer is about to come in front of her.
puff!
The sound of metal sinking into the flesh came, the pain that the two people were waiting for did not come as expected, but there was one more person in the room.
The man in the white gown landed in front of Mi Xiaoqi, holding a long sword. The previous maid killer had already fallen to the ground, with blood streaming from his chest, while Hong Qi was so frightened by the sudden change that his face turned pale.
The guards outside rushed in with a whoosh.
No matter how unwilling Hong Qi was, she was directly caught by the guards, and the corpse on the ground was carried away, and everyone stared at the boy in white.
"He saved us." Mi Xiaoqi hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to the boy in white. "You lock her back to the place where she lives first, and then retreat."
Everyone looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and left the room one after another. Naturally, two people were left at the door to protect them. When Hong Qi came in earlier, everyone didn't think much about it. There is still time to stop the trouble, who would have thought... So now I am smart.
"You are?" Mi Xiaoqi looked at the man in white and asked.
"Subordinate, Shuihuangyu, I am ordered by His Royal Highness to protect Miss Seven." Shuihuangyu respectfully bowed to Mi Xiaoqi, well, despite how unwilling he was, he was thrown out by his master to protect him Bei Gongyan's woman still didn't dare to show it, who would let her master use more means, uh, more.
"His Royal Highness? Nan Fengchen?" Mi Xiaoqi looked at Shui Huangyu and asked in surprise.
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shui Huangyu looked at Mi Xiaoqi in amazement, and even called the master by his name directly. Oh, it's not simple, but it has depth.
"There are already many people protecting me in the palace, so I don't bother you anymore." Mi Xiaoqi said cautiously, if Bei Gongyan found out, he would definitely be upset.
"Without the call from His Highness the Crown Prince, this subordinate must follow the girl. If I go back, I can only die. I beg the girl to spare her life." Shui Huangyu knelt down again, and said word by word according to Nan Fengchen's words.
"Um..." Mi Xiaoqi raised his forehead, and then remembered the previous rumors about Nan Fengchen. He couldn't be really that bloodthirsty, could he? I don't know why, but Mi Xiaoqi always thinks that Nan Fengchen is a good person.
"Miss Seven, Your Highness has something to say. From now on, Shui Huangyu will follow the girl. If the girl doesn't want Shui Huangyu, Shui Huangyu will commit suicide." Shui Huangyu said resolutely with grief and indignation.
"Forehead… "
"Master gave Shuihuangyu to the girl. From now on, Shuihuangyu will obey the girl's orders." Shuihuangyu's little heart was beating thumpingly.
A group of little crows flew behind Mi Xiaoqi, big brother, does your family know about giving gifts like this? You all like to give living people as gifts...
Mi Xiaoqi looked at Shuihuangyu who was kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, gritted her teeth for a while, "That, yellow croaker."
"Ah?" Shui Huangyu froze for a moment.
"Water yellow croaker?" Mi Xiaoqi blinked.
"It's Shui-huang-yu." Shui Huangyu said her name clearly after a word.
"Um, Yellow Fish is fine as the code name. Look, the sound is almost the same." Mi Xiaoqi looked serious.
Shui Huangyu raised her forehead, as if she understood why her master was so interested in this seventh girl, they both had the same black belly.
"Listen to Seventh Girl's arrangement." Shui Huangyu gritted her teeth, it's just a code name, it's better than going back to be tortured by her master.
"Since you listen to my arrangement, then go and help me buy a few Zhuangzi first." Mi Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, and he reluctantly used it first, found his money box, and counted 10,000 taels of silver notes.
"This?" Shui Huangyu was confused.
"If the soil is suitable for planting flowers, the more you can buy, the better. Go." Mi Xiaoqi waved his hand.
Shui Huangyu took the bank note, turned and left.
Being able to come and go freely in the palace, Huang Yu should be a master, right? Mi Xiaoqi tilted her head thinking.
"Miss, what happened to Prince Nanye, how could..." Lu Luo asked with restraint.
"I don't know, anyway, I owe him a favor, and I'm afraid I won't pay it back, so I asked someone to watch me." Mi Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose, a little depressed, her life has been a mess recently.
He raised his hand and rubbed his head vigorously.
"Miss." Luluo said distressedly.
"Leave me alone." Mi Xiaoqi waved her hand, Lu Luo's lips moved, and finally she turned and left the room without saying anything.
On court.
Kneeling in the middle, Yue Tian listened to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment talking about his scandals one after another, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged." Yue Tian cried.
"Yue Tian, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and you are still wronged." Beigong Mingqi sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.
"Your Majesty, I heard from the old minister that Master Yue's eldest daughter is also the concubine of the Third Prince. She was just framed by the prince's favorite concubine and lost her child. All kinds of crimes have been exposed on Lord Yue's side. It is really jaw-dropping." Zuo Xiang , Sikong Qing spoke lightly, without any sense of oppression, just like discussing the weather with people.
All eyes fell on Bei Gongyan.
Beigong Mingqi also took a deep look at Beigongyan.
"Master Zuoxiang means that if something happened to Lord Yue's daughter, he can be ignored if he made a mistake?" Cui Dongcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said sharply. Cui Dongcheng, twenty-five years old, the youngest minister in the court, He is decisive in his actions, quick and decisive in handling things, has solved countless cases in his hands, and is highly appreciated by the emperor. Of course, he has a deep relationship with Bei Gongyan in private.
