An hour later.
Huo Qi appeared in Song Huan's study again, but this time, there was a black sack at his feet.
The sack was twisting violently, and whimpering sounds could be heard coming from it from time to time.
Song Huan: "..."
I asked you to bring people here, but I don’t ask you to kidnap people!
Huo Qi opened the sack. Inside the sack, a woman in palace clothes stared with endless fear.
Her mouth had been tightly sealed by Huo Qi, and she could only make indistinct whines.
Song Huan recognized that this maid was the one who served tea to Emperor Liang in the imperial study just now.
Seeing clearly that the person in front of her was Song Huan, the palace maid paused and gradually calmed down.
Song Huan waved his hand, and Huo Qi took off the cloth from the palace maid's mouth.
"May I have your name?"
The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she still replied to Song Huan: "Prince Huirong, my name is Qiu Rong."
"Qiu Rong," Song Huan nodded with interest, "a very nice name."
"How long have you been serving tea in front of the emperor?"
Qiu Rong lowered her head and said, "Go back to Your Highness, I have been serving you in front of you for over a year."
Song Huan thoughtfully said: "Oh..."
"If I remember correctly, the maids serving tea in front of the emperor must be rotated every year."
"You should be transferred to another place soon, right?"
Qiurong replied: "It's like this as a rule."
"It's just tea brewed by slaves. The Holy One likes to drink it."
"So Eunuch Xue allows me to serve you in front of the emperor for one more year."
Xue Hai...Xue Hai again!
How come this little palace maid, who is suspected of being an eyeliner, is also related to Xue Hai?
Could it be that Xue Hai is really...
Seeing Song Huan's sharp eyes, Qiu Rong shrank her neck as if she felt guilty.
"Your Highness, you bring your slave here, but do you have any orders?"
Song Huan sneered, you probably know the instructions better than anyone else!
"How long have you been doing eyeliner in the Holy Sage?"
The expression on Qiu Rong's face was stunned for a moment.
She quickly raised her head and glanced at Song Huan, then quickly lowered her head, looking horrified.
"Your Highness, you...you are joking!"
"How could this slave be the spy around the Holy Master?"
Song Huan smiled lightly.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for an ordinary palace maid to be so calm when she's kidnapped by this king."
"Tell me the truth and I won't make things difficult for you."
When Song Huan faced Qiu Rong, he didn't show any harsh words.
As a little girl, what if she scares others with her fierce look?
However, Qiu Rong didn't hesitate at all and blurted out: "Your Highness, this servant is really not an informant!"
"You misunderstood me slave!"
Song Huan was about to speak, but Huo Qi on the side pulled out the short knife from his arms with a "sniff".
The short knife made of black iron was placed next to Qiu Rong's neck, tightly attached to her beating soft arteries.
The extremely cold touch of black iron made Qiu Rong instantly get goosebumps all over her body!
"Your Majesty is patient, but I am not."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to embarrass women, but I'm not afraid!"
"This is the last time the prince will ask you. If you don't say..."
At this point, Huo Qi raised his arm, and a bunch of black hair on Qiu Rong's temples was instantly cut off!
Faced with this situation, Qiu Rong was already shaking like chaff and her whole body was weak!
"My slave said... my slave said!"
"My slave is willing to say anything!"
"Your Highness, please let this slave go!"
Song Huan silently glanced at Huo Qi, as if praising him for a good job.
One plays the bad role, the other plays the bad role, giving both kindness and power, the interrogation effect has indeed improved a lot!
Seeing that Qiu Rong was willing to let go, Song Huan said with a pleasant expression, "Very good."
"Then tell me, when did the third prince send you to be an informant in front of the emperor?"
Qiu Rong's face was full of tears and she said in a trembling voice: "My mother is a slave in the general's palace. Originally, when I grew up, I would also serve in the general's palace with my mother."
"Three years ago, the third prince saw the slave for the first time in the general's mansion. He felt that the slave was clever and smart, so he kept the slave by his side and trained her."
"The third prince told me that as long as I am more alert and pay more attention to the Lord's movements for him..."
"As for everything else, slaves don't have to worry..."
"The Third Prince said that he will take care of everything..."
Having said this, Qiu Rong wiped her tears with her sleeves.
"Your Highness, this servant has told everything!"
"Please, please don't kill me!"
Song Huan smiled slightly and said, "How could that happen?"
"I will never embarrass a woman."
"What's more, you have already told me everything you need to say."
"What reason does this king have to kill you?"
With that said, Song Huan personally leaned down and helped Qiu Rong up from the ground.
"Miss Qiurong, why not do this!"
"You do me a favor. When the matter is completed, I will personally settle you and ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
Qiu Rong timidly said: "Your Highness! I am stupid and I am afraid that I am not qualified to do what Your Highness wants to do!"
"How could it be possible?" Song Huan said with a smile, "What I asked you to do is not a difficult task!"
"You only need to repeat what you just said completely in front of my father."
"This can always be done!"
Qiu Rong was shocked: "No, Your Highness!"
"How dare I mention this matter in front of the Holy Master!"
"If the Holy One finds out about this, won't he immediately take off this slave's head?"
"Even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
Song Huan sneered in his heart. When he spied on Emperor Liang, he never thought that his head would be enough for Emperor Liang to chop off!
"Don't worry, Miss Qiurong. When the time comes, I will definitely speak for you in front of my father."
"After all, you were just coerced by Song Liang, you are innocent!"
"My father understands justice so well, why would he embarrass a little palace maid like you?"
"But..." Qiu Rong frowned, as if she had something unspeakable that she really couldn't tell Song Huan.
Seeing Qiu Rong's hesitant look, Song Huan understood that his previous test had indeed worked.
It stands to reason that since he has said all that, since Qiu Rong has fallen into his hands, he only needs to cooperate with him in doing things.
But her behavior was very abnormal, and she was obviously very resistant to meeting Emperor Liang.
What was the reason behind this made Song Huan have to doubt it!
The truth, is this really the case?
Seeing Song Huan's wink, Huo Qi understood and immediately blocked Qiu Rong's mouth again and stuffed her into the sack without any explanation.
