Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world
Chapter 58 Searching the Yard, Finding Clues
"Miss, I will find an excuse to borrow the medicine jar from the princess's yard..." Xiao Zi quietly raised her eyes to look at her mistress and said, "There is still more than half a bag of medicine powder left. How about finding a place to bury it first?"
Xu Qingqing chuckled and then shook her head: "Put the powder aside for now. My brother will remarry after the princess dies! He will need it again..."
There can only be two masters in this palace, her and her brother. As for the princess and concubines, she will kill one if they come!
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. If her brother had a reputation for being unlucky in marriage, the daughters of ministers in the capital would probably not be eager to marry him, right?
Xiao Zi looked up suddenly with disbelief in his eyes.
The young lady is only ten years old now, but her mind is so vicious. What will happen when she grows up?
But since she and Xiaolu were assigned to serve the young lady, they had no choice but to board the young lady's broken ship...
Even if they don't want to harm others, they can't help it!
After all, if she told the princess about it, she would not kill the young lady for the sake of the prince's face.
The princess might even think that it was she and Xiaolu who instigated the young lady...
Xiao Zi responded respectfully: "I'll remember that..."
Xu Qingqing walked to the table, picked up the teacup, took a sip, squinted her eyes comfortably, and waved her hand: "Then do it quickly. If people in the princess's courtyard ask, just say that I have had some nightmares recently and need a medicine pot to boil medicine~"
After Xiao Zi left, Xu Qingqing walked to the dressing table. She looked sad in front of the bronze mirror and squeezed two tears from her eyes.
Well...Xu Qingqing nodded with satisfaction. She would cry like this when the princess died, so that all the servants in the palace would know that she couldn't bear to part with the princess and the bastard in her belly!
When her brother is not in the palace, she, as the mistress, will naturally be qualified to take charge of the palace's household affairs. Then she won't have to eat these damn steamed buns for every meal!
"Hahahaha..." Thinking of happy things, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but let out a barbell-like laugh.
...
"It's not that we don't want to lend you the medicine jar, it's just that the princess needs to drink a bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day..." The little girl in charge of boiling medicine in the main courtyard said with some embarrassment on her face.
She is just a little girl and can't make this decision. Why does Miss Xiao Zi need to ask her? Just ask the head nanny...
Seeing that she was reluctant to give in, Xiao Zi gritted her teeth, took out ten copper coins from her sleeve and stuffed them into the little girl's hand.
"Our young lady has been having a nightmare for the past two days, and I really need help! If you can be flexible, I'll be back in two days..." Xiao Zi said with a smile.
The little girl held the copper coin in her hand and said hesitantly: "Then you can take it, but we agreed that two days means two days. Don't borrow it for ten days like last time... The head nanny gave me a good scolding last time~"
Xiao Zi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely send it back quickly this time, and I will definitely not let you get scolded again!"
The last time I came to borrow the medicine jar was because it had been soaked in poisonous water for a long time. In two days, the princess will pass away, and the palace will surely be in chaos. Who will have the time to care about the whereabouts of a medicine jar?
If anyone asked, she would say that she broke it by accident. The princess was dead anyway, so who would really investigate?
"Thank you very much. I will go back to make medicine for my young lady..." Xiao Zi said as she was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps, and then the two saw Aunt Wangyou, who was beside the Queen, walking in with the young eunuchs.
Xiao Zi's hand holding the medicine jar suddenly tightened, and her heartbeat quickened.
Why would a maidservant of the Queen come to the backyard of the palace?
Besides...didn’t the princess go to the palace?
"Put aside what you are doing. We are here to search the princess's yard under the Queen's order. All servants must stand here and are not allowed to go out! If anyone disobeys, they will be dragged out and beaten to death immediately!" Wangyou said in a deep voice with a cold face.
Soon, more than a dozen maids were standing in the yard in an orderly manner. Wangyou walked around them and then asked the head maid, "Madame Feng, are all the maids in the yard here?"
Nanny Feng looked up and said, "Everyone is here..."
Wangyou nodded and directed the eunuch to search, but saw a sneaky figure walking towards the courtyard gate.
Wangyou raised his eyebrows and shouted coldly: "What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Xiao Zi was so frightened that her whole body shuddered, and the medicine jar in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. The pieces scattered all over the ground, and the lid rolled to Wangyou's feet.
By the time she reacted, Wangyou had already frowned and picked up the lid from the ground.
Xiao Zi's legs went limp in panic and she knelt on the ground, her face pale as she said, "My lady, I am not a servant in the princess's courtyard. I am just here to borrow the medicine jar on the orders of my young lady... I will leave now and not disturb you from doing your job..."
Wangyou was Jiang Wanqing's maid after all, and she knew at first glance that there was something wrong with this maid.
She slowly shifted her gaze to the lid in her hand and asked in a cold voice, "I don't know when Xiaoyao Palace became so poor that it couldn't even afford a medicine jar? Why would you ask me to borrow one from the princess's courtyard? Besides, the princess is pregnant now, and the medicine jar is something she uses every day. Is it your turn to use it casually? If something goes wrong, will you be responsible?"
Xiao Zi's back was covered in cold sweat. She said in a trembling voice: "I was wrong. I will go out and buy a new one... Please give me the lid, and I will throw it away with the broken pieces..."
She kept praying in her heart, hoping that Wangyou would return the lid soaked in poisonous water to her so that she could destroy the medicine jar fragments together with the body.
But Wangyou refused to let Xiaozi have her way. She stared at Xiaozi for a long while and said, "Someone, pick up these fragments and bring them back to the palace!"
There are endless ways to harm people in the harem. Since the Queen has given her the task, she will certainly not miss any suspicious points.
Besides, the maid's eyes were evasive and she kept trying to get the lid back from her hand, so it was impossible for her to give it back to her!
Xiao Zi's body softened when she heard that, and her head started buzzing.
Bring it back to the palace? What does the Queen want with a broken medicine jar?
Her eyes widened and a bad feeling slowly arose in her heart.
Something happened to the princess in the palace! That's why the queen sent people to search the princess's yard!
If the jar is brought back, the imperial physician will surely find out something...
By then...if we follow the clues, she will naturally not be able to escape. Murdering a member of the royal family is a serious crime punishable by beheading!
