Hansu took a breath to calm down his chaotic thoughts.
Last night, the old lady said that people from Huiyueju were not allowed in or out until they found out the matter. She didn't know who would be guarding the place. She didn't know if she could send a message to Xue Ping. Over the years, she has been by the princess's side, specializing in dealing with the servants in the palace for the princess. She is quite popular, and maybe she will be given a favor.
Just as she walked to the door, she glanced at herself, then quickly turned back to look for clothes in the cage. I sweated a lot last night, and my clothes were wrinkled. I took off my shirt and changed into another one. I wiped my face with some water, scattered my hair, and put it back into a bun as quickly as possible. Then he walked out of the door neatly.
Her collapse last night must not be seen. If it reaches the princess's ears, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Walking all the way to the courtyard gate, standing quietly under the wall and listening, Han Su heard low voices coming from the door.
"I don't know what happened in the princess's yard? The princess has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never been red-faced with the old lady. What's wrong? Even the princess is under guard."
"I don't know. I didn't say anything. I just heard that the old lady came out to eat after dinner last night. When she walked to Huiyue Ju, she went in and sat down. When she came out, she told people to guard Huiyue Ju. No one was allowed to do so. You’re not allowed in or out!”
Listening to the voices, Han Su should be Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Cheng from Jingyuntang.
Mrs. Cheng guessed, "Could it be that the old lady suddenly came to Huiyue Residence and encountered something inappropriate?"
Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows after hearing this, "Hey, what you said is interesting. How inappropriate is it to make the old lady so angry?"
Mrs. Cheng put up her hands and said, "Then we don't know."
Mother Zhao yawned repeatedly, "When the uncle wanted to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, everyone said that the peace in this mansion would not be peaceful for a few days. No, something happened one after another in the mansion."
"You mean, these things are all caused by the east courtyard? That's not possible, right? Grandma is such a kind person."
"You may look nice on the outside, but that may not be the case on the inside."
Mrs. Cheng lowered her voice and leaned forward, "Then according to what you say, the princess is also a kind person, but she may not be really kind?"
Mrs. Zhao quickly pushed her further away, "Hey, this is in front of Huiyueju, don't talk nonsense! If someone listens to it and it reaches the ears of the princess, we won't make people remember it! "
Mrs. Cheng was not angry, "If you say that, I understand."
Mrs. Zhao blinked, "What do you understand?"
"Grandma is so kind. You don't feel scared, but you feel more awe and respect in your heart. The princess is also kind, but you are afraid that you will offend her and not get any good results. Who is the real kindness and who is the fake kindness? You still don't understand?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao thought carefully and realized that this was really what happened!
Standing under the wall here was the obedient Hansu, rubbing the handkerchief into wrinkles.
What Mrs. Cheng said now also spoke to her heart.
Others don't know whether the princess is really kind or fake. Doesn't she still know?
She now regrets asking Xue Ping to investigate the cause of Xian Ning's death. Originally, she thought that Xian Ning's death was caused by the grandma. Finding out the matter would be beneficial to her and the princess, but now she suspects that Xian Ning's death was caused by the princess. By moving her hand to cover something up, she was dragging Xue Ping into the water!
Han Su felt a burning sensation in her heart. Her entire body was hidden in the shadow of the banana leaves, and her face was coated with a layer of green, making her look even more anxious.
Just as she was about to call Mrs. Cheng and find an excuse to ask her to send a message to Xue Ping, she heard someone call her in a low voice, "Hansu!"
Han Su was frightened, and then realized that it was Xue Ping's voice!
She turned to look and saw Xue Ping standing in a rockery cave not far away, waving to her.
Han Su's heart was beating like a drum. He glanced around and ran over quickly: "Brother Xue!"
"Hansu, are you okay?"
"Why are you here? The old lady is very angry. You secretly sneaked into Huiyue Residence against her will and let her know. She will definitely be dissatisfied with you."
Xue Ping said: "Don't worry, I have asked the old lady for instructions. Don't forget, Xian Ning's death has not been found out yet. The old lady said that the palace is in troubled times, so I must find out what happened."
Han Su felt his liver and gallbladder splitting when he heard this, "This matter can no longer be investigated!"
"Why can't we investigate further?" Xue Ping was puzzled. Yesterday Han Su had begged him to find out the cause of his sister's death, but today he was told not to investigate. "What happened to the princess? Is Xian Ning's death related to this matter?"
Han Su was about to shake his head, but he was stunned in his heart.
Is it possible?
The princess really had an adulterous affair. Did Xian Ning get killed because of this? !
Hansu's pupils were shocked, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Hansu?"
Seeing her expression change, Xue Ping asked: "What happened last night?"
Han Su grabbed her chest and said: "Last night, the old lady suddenly came to Huiyue Residence and told grandma to follow the princess as a housekeeper. Everything was fine at first, but when the old lady left, she saw a hole exposed under the cushion where the princess was sitting. When I picked it up, I found a soaked casing falling out of it!"
"That is……"
"It's ours!" Han Su clutched Xue Ping's sleeve tightly and kept his voice as low as possible.
Xue Ping's expression changed drastically, "Did you lose something?"
Han Su nodded, "After the old lady left, Nan Zhu kicked us all out. I hurried back to the room and found that the things were missing!"
Xue Pingran looked uncertain, "So, not only did someone know about our affairs, but they also used our things to frame the princess?"
"I thought so before, but now..." Han Su's voice trembled uncontrollably, "It's very possible that the princess committed adultery with a man behind her back! Xian Ning... she may have been involved in this matter. Only then was he silenced..."
Xue Ping was shocked, "That's why you said you won't let me check further?"
Han Su's hand tightened, almost forcing Xue Ping to bend over, "I don't know if the princess can fool this matter, but if the princess knows that the casing is ours, it will be used by others to frame her. , then we will only have a dead end!"
Xue Ping patted her back gently, "Hansu, calm down first."
Han Su took a few breaths under his comfort and calmed down her breathing slightly. Seeing that Xue Ping was still calm, she asked, "Do you have any idea?"
Xue Ping asked her, "The princess's adultery was exposed, who is right and wrong? Is it the princess's fault or the fault of the person who exposed it?"
Han Su was startled for a moment, "Of course... the princess is wrong."
"In that case, why don't we continue to investigate? The thing you and I have is used to expose the princess's scandal. If the princess's scandal comes to light, that thing is not the princess's, but also the princess's. It has nothing to do with us. What's behind it? No one will expose us in a second. As soon as the limelight is over, I will ask the old lady to marry me. As long as we get married, no one can use the past to threaten us."
Han Su's breathing was slightly stagnant, "But what you said is the smoothest result. If something happens midway..."
Xue Ping made a decision immediately, "No matter what happens in the process, you and I will die. Instead of sitting around in panic and waiting for death, it is better to give it a try. If it comes to pass, you and I can live in peace in the future, and we can also seek justice for Xian Ning."
Han Su was in a state of confusion, but she knew that Xue Ping was right. If the princess survived the crisis safely this time, she would definitely investigate the origin of the casings, and they would not be able to escape by then. Only when the princess is proven guilty of adultery, can the two of them have a chance of survival. At least, Xue Ping can survive...
And she has done a lot of things for the princess in private. If she can't escape, she can just go to the underworld to reunite with her sister!
"Okay! I listen to you!"
Xue Ping looked at Han Su lovingly, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead comfortingly, and said, "You can wait for me with peace of mind."
Han Su hesitated for a moment and then warned: "You have to be careful, the princess is not as simple as you think... Although I serve the princess closely, we second-class girls always only do things for the princess in the palace, and outside It’s up to Nan Zhu and Zi Jiang to handle the matter, and the princess only trusts them, especially Zi Jiang, she is by no means an ordinary maid.”
Xue Ping's expression changed, "Zi Jiang."
