"This..." Butler Bai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Qinglan also felt cold in her hands and feet.
Her memory of the name Xin'er still lingered on that little girl with a girl's bun, a round face and big eyes. She had two shallow pear dimples when she smiled. She was very smart and lively, and she was neat and tidy in doing things.
Qinglan also knew that she was placed in Linlangyuan by the housekeeper.
But later she heard that something happened at home and left, because she didn't come to Linlangyuan often and wasn't very familiar with Xin'er. Although she heard some gossip, she was quickly suppressed again.
Gradually, no one mentioned this little maid who had only stayed in the palace for half a year.
Now that she hears this name again, Qinglan feels her scalp tightening, and she can't connect Xin'er with her sister Qingxiu.
Everyone said nothing and seemed to be waiting for Grandma Ye to speak.
The thorn-like gaze was impossible to ignore.
After all, Grandma Ye couldn't bear it any longer. She slowly raised her head and stared at "Qingxiu" with those gray eyes. She put on a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Xin'er? Who is Xin'er?" You are obviously the handsome one next to the prince, how come you changed into someone else after a fall?"
She didn't wait for "Qingxiu" to explain, and then said: "Your Highness, you can see clearly, who is who, and you can't let others bully me, old lady. Although my eyes are dim, my heart is not blind."
"I'm not lying, I'm really Xin'er, I..." As "Qingxiu" became anxious, Yintang's blackness became even stronger.
Grandma Ye suddenly raised her voice and interrupted her: "How do you prove that you are Xin'er? What proof do you use?"
"I..." A trace of confusion flashed in "Qingxiu's" eyes, as if she didn't know how to prove it.
Her eyes darted back and forth hurriedly, thinking very hard.
Suddenly, his eyes glanced at the Mo Mei in Su Yueli's hand and the folded four-corner talisman. Suddenly he remembered something, and he pointed at Su Yueli in a panic and said: "It's that, it's that thing that killed me." Attracted, she said the princess gave it to her, I don’t know what it was, but it woke me up.”
The words "comely" seemed incoherent, but Su Yueli understood it. The "she" mentioned here must be the real comely.
However, this was not enough to prove anything. Grandma Ye still refused to admit it and said: "What are you talking nonsense here, Butler Bai? She has gone crazy now, and you just watch her without asking anything?"
Bai Qing broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. There were not many people in the palace who knew the true cause of Xin'er's death, and he was one of them.
As a steward of the palace, he didn't have many lives passed through his hands, but there were about a dozen of them, and Xin'er was the one who left the deepest impression on him.
So much so that every time I think about it in the past six months, I still can't help but feel guilty. I have trouble sleeping in the middle of the night and always feel that I am not at ease somewhere.
But today, he finally knew why he was unsteady.
Although the delicate appearance in front of her has not changed, her tone of voice and expression are exactly the same as that of that girl Xin'er.
He originally didn't believe in karma, but at this moment, he was actually afraid.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Grandma Ye became visibly anxious, "Butler Bai, were you also frightened by this girl? You have also been in charge for half your life, how can you be frightened by just a girl's tricks? Hehehe. .”
Grandma Ye snorted coldly, without even looking at "Qingxiu", she turned around and walked out: "I still have things to do, so I won't play with you here anymore. Princess, I will leave first."
"You can't leave!" "Qingxiu" rushed forward to stop her. Grandma Ye raised her hand and pushed her. Although she was an old man who was half buried in the ground, she just pushed her gently, but "Qingxiu" screamed in pain. , the whole person was ejected.
Grandma Ye walked towards the depths of Linlang Garden without looking back.
Su Yueli glanced at her sleeves, and a meaningful smile appeared in her eyebrows.
Speaking of which, she was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, but this incident was somewhat caused by her. If she hadn't given Ji Tianming the talisman on a whim, Qingxiu wouldn't have been framed by this guy.
If Qingxiu had not come to Linlangyuan to pick flowers for her to bathe in, the talisman would not have attracted Xin'er and caused this commotion.
In the final analysis, it's all about cause and effect and destiny.
She looked at Grandma Ye with a half-smile as she walked a few steps, and suddenly asked, "Is the cinnabar brocade that Grandma is wearing on her hand used to ward off evil spirits and ward off ghosts?"
Grandma Ye paused and subconsciously put her hands in her arms.
Su Yueli didn't wait for her answer, and added: "As the saying goes, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. From the moment I came in here, grandma has been hinting at two things."
"The first thing is, mama, you are an old man in the house. You asked me to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Anyway, I don't want to provoke you; the second thing is that there are all the flowers and plants in this courtyard. Spiritual energy, so any collision or loss of life here is normal and has nothing to do with you, grandma."
"But, sometimes I am a very warm-hearted person, especially when others ask me for help. My restless heart can't help but want to show off."
"But having said that, if there is no ghost in my heart, why would I wear this cinnabar brocade, which has a strong ability to exorcise ghosts? If I guessed correctly, you should have known that there is a ghost hidden under this black rose, right?"
"And this ghost is the maid in front of you who calls herself 'Xin'er'!"
"Right? Grandma Ye?"
Nanny Ye had never told her her name, and she believed that she had only been in the palace for a day or two and no one would take the initiative to mention her to her. However, this princess actually knew her surname was Ye.
Grandma Ye turned her back to everyone and calmed down, then turned around and pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know what the princess is talking about."
"It doesn't matter, I'll let you know." After Su Yueli said this, her eyes suddenly froze, her hand holding the black rose made a strange gesture in the air, and then pointed at "Qingxiu" who was about to struggle to get up, Xinran read: "Yin is born with Yang, and when Yang is extinguished, the lamp dies. Come out!"
Her last word "out" was sonorous and powerful, with a sense of intimidation that no one could refuse. Almost at the same time, several people present saw a black energy floating out of the delicate body, and then slowly condensed next to it. There was a black figure with no facial features visible.
As soon as the black figure came out, Qingxiu immediately collapsed to the ground and passed out.
Su Yueli looked at the figure, the majesty on his face still not gone, and said in a deep voice: "Now you can talk about your grievances. If there is even the slightest lie, I will not forgive you for what happened today."
The black shadow shook, and the black energy in his head nodded obediently to her, and said: "I don't dare, slave, every word I said is true, slave Xin'er, half a year ago, I destroyed a flower by mistake, and was killed by Ye Yao." My mama was beaten to death, and her body was sent out of the palace by the housekeeper and my mama. The slave was unwilling and took the opportunity to hide her resentful soul under this black rose until today!"
