Li Qingyi looked at the maid in front of him, feeling suspicious, and carefully observed her expression.
She had resurrected her life, and at least she had some ability to read people's thoughts.
Although the maid tried her best to appear calm and composed, the occasional flash of eagerness in her eyes was still caught by Li Qingyi.
She put down the tea cup in her hand, stood up and asked, "Are you the maid in the house? Why didn't I see you just now?"
This was in Prime Minister Xu's Mansion, which was barely Song Linlang's territory, and Wei Laner was eyeing her covetously. Although he couldn't come, it didn't mean that she didn't make any arrangements. Li Qingyi originally had to be cautious, but now that the Third Princess incident happened, she had to be even more cautious to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
"My slave was preparing a banquet in the back and didn't come into the garden, so you didn't see my slave."
Li Qingyi nodded, but he was wary but didn't show it.
She secretly guessed that the maid was lying and would not really follow her to the place where the three princesses had a tryst, so she pretended not to know anything and followed the maid forward, heading towards the southeast corner of the house.
Sure enough, when we were still some distance away from the rockery in the southeast corner, the maid pointed forward and said, "The princess is waiting for you over there. I have other things to do, so I won't go with you."
Li Qingyi glanced at her casually and said, "In that case, I'll go there by myself, and you can go ahead."
"Yes." The maid bowed, lowered her eyes to hide her relief, turned and left.
Li Qingyi looked at her back, narrowed his eyes, and said to Chang Lan: "Follow her and see where she goes. If she leaves the house, ask someone to detain her."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
Chang Lan knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to delay and went quickly.
Isatis was so nervous that the handkerchief in her hand was crinkled, "Girl, what should we do now? Do we really want to go find the princess?"
"Of course not. If we break into the princess's private affairs, we will be dead if we don't do it on the spot..."
As Qin Zeng's little follower in her previous life, she was not included in the invitation and could not come to attend the spring banquet, but she vaguely heard some things afterwards.
It is said that the third princess killed someone at the spring banquet. The family of the deceased was afraid of offending the princess and did not want to go to war over a concubine. They wanted to make the matter as minor as possible. However, after all, this incident happened in Xiang Xiang's Mansion and many people knew about it. The princess was looking down on human life. The story spread, and the emperor was furious and asked the princess why, but the princess refused to tell her, so she lost her favor.
During this period, the painter in the palace somehow offended the emperor and was driven out of the palace. He died soon after being depressed.
Later, the third princess shaved her hair and became a sister-in-law.
At that time, no one connected the two things. Looking at it now, there is something else that Li Qingyi doesn't understand. .
The affair between the third princess and Huang Chongfeng must have been discovered, and the princess killed someone intentionally or by mistake. In order to save Huang Chongfeng's life, she refused to say the reason, and her reputation was greatly lost, and the emperor's favor was lost.
Huang Congfeng felt guilty and wanted to bear the crime of killing people on behalf of the princess. As a result, the emperor not only did not forgive the princess after learning the truth, but also had Huang Congfeng executed.
The princess desperately begged for mercy and finally saved Huang Gongfeng's life. However, Huang Gongfeng died of an incurable heart disease shortly after leaving the palace. The three princesses were disheartened and became a sister-in-law.
Li Qingyi stroked his forehead. She had no idea who the dead concubine was, but now it seemed that someone deliberately wanted her to break into the princess's affair.
So the cause of this incident should be that someone wanted to target the third princess.
Then, someone found out about this and wanted to involve her in order to kill someone with a knife.
Judging from the current situation, is it Song Linlang? Or Weilander?
"Girl, how about we leave quickly?"
Li Qingyi calmed down, thought about it in his mind and said: "Someone deliberately wanted to find out about the princess, and also wanted to trick me. If I left like this, something happened to the princess, and it was later found out on me. I can’t help but be blamed for sitting back and doing nothing.”
"Let's just pretend we've never been here. Who would know?"
"Of course it means
As for the person who made that maidservant, if the other party randomly finds someone and says he saw me here, I won't be able to tell. "
Li Qingyi hesitated, looked around, picked up a stone and threw it towards the rockery.
The stone hit the rockery and made a "clang" sound. Woad was so frightened that she froze in place.
Li Qingyi waited for a while with his heart beating like a drum, but there was no movement in the rockery, so he picked up another stone and threw it over. After throwing it, he pulled the woad and turned around and ran to the side road. He stopped when he was far away and hid in the distance. Watching from a distance.
"Girl, do you want to remind the princess?"
"Um……"
Li Qingyi originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when someone dragged her into the water, she couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
"I helped the princess, and I have room for explanation afterwards. Don't forget, I also asked Chang Lan to detain the maid who delivered the message. I can't get rid of it."
But the maid who delivered the message cannot but be detained. No matter what the outcome of this matter is, it is an important witness.
To put it bluntly, although it is unlikely that the third princess and Huang Chongfeng will be together, the ending of their previous life is really disappointing.
Out of compassion, Li Qingyi still didn't want them to repeat the ending of their previous life.
"Girl, look!"
The third princess walked out of the rockery, looked around suspiciously, and said something inside the rockery. Then a white figure came out of it, looked at the princess deeply before turning around and leaving reluctantly.
The third princess looked at Huang Gongfeng's back, and her expression revealed a shy and romantic look of a new lover, which was completely different from the silent, cold and arrogant demeanor just now.
Jiulan followed Li Qingyi and hid in the distance, watching, and said nervously: "Although the princess doesn't want too many people to know, she can't leave her alone, right? The maid who went to deliver a message to Huang Gongfeng must know about the two of them. , Logically speaking, you should look out for the princess."
"I must have tripped my feet on purpose."
In front of the rockery, the third princess stood alone for a moment. The first stone caught her attention, and the second stone made her realize that something must have gone wrong.
But looking around, there was no sound.
She stepped up to leave, but suddenly there was a voice nearby, and it seemed that many people were coming towards her.
The third princess's face suddenly darkened. She wanted to see who was playing tricks on her!
"Sister Huang, why are you here?"
The third princess is slightly older than the fourth prince. As the fourth prince's concubine, Song Linlang naturally calls her "Emperor Sister". She, Xu Hanzhang, and several other noble ladies came here together, looking at the third princess in confusion.
The third princess looked at Song Linlang and saw that the expression on her face did not seem to be fake and that she did not know anything about it, so she said, "I saw a very beautiful bird. I chased the bird all the way into the rockery, but the bird disappeared." The trace of my son must have flown away through some gap."
Xu Hanzhang stood next to Song Linlang and smiled when he heard the words: "So that's the case. In that case, the princess should go back with the ladies. Huang Gongfeng is already ready."
Just as the third princess was about to nod, Guo Zi'er, who was standing behind Song Linlang, suddenly said, "Hey, I seem to hear something moving in the rockery. Is the bird that the princess said is still in there?"
The third princess' pupils trembled, and she glanced at Guo Zi'er sharply.
