"Sister Qianfei, the Fifth Prince is getting even heavier. You are truly blessed."

Cao Qinmo was wiping Hong Zhou's saliva with a soft handkerchief, with a smile on her face.

Instead of Liu Hua's look of disgust next to him.

At this moment, a very unfamiliar palace maid lifted the glass curtain.

With her waist unusually bent, she called softly, "This servant pays homage to Her Majesty Consort Qian and Lady Cao."

Cao Qinmo stopped teasing Hong Zhou, and Liu Hua saw that all the saliva had been wiped clean by Cao Qinmo.

Then he reached out and secretly rubbed Hong Zhou's chubby face, but without using any force.

Cao Qinmo held Wen Yi in her arms again, patiently tidying up her messy clothes, her eyes fixed on the Butterfly Flower hairpin on Wen Yi's head.

He didn't even glance at the kneeling and slightly trembling Ying'er for a long time.

Then he said carefully: "My lord, please... promise that I have something to report."

As soon as these words were spoken, An Lingrong, who was sorting the pink silk thread, finally withdrew her gaze from the intertwined and crooked lotus flowers.

She immediately turned the embroidery over on the table, picked up another little lion and started embroidering it.

Liu Hua didn't ask, knowing that this was Cao Qinmo's token of allegiance to her.

Just like Yixiu’s test yesterday - do she dare to really investigate?

Cao Qinmo made a "tsk" sound, and Yinxiu consciously left the warm room, closing the door tightly.

"Noble Consort Dunsu has passed away, but Consort Cao still keeps her."

Liu Hua picked up the silver spoon and stirred the tonic that Caiju had just brought, his face shrouded in mist.

It was blurry, so Cao Qinmo and Yin'er, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't see Liu Hua's expression clearly.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Concubine Dunsu has passed away, and she has no skills to rely on.

Of course I can only rely on my concubine, and I didn’t let her do anything secretive. I’ll keep her for now, lest others say I’m cruel.

Then Cao Qinmo bent down and grabbed one of Yin'er's hands.

After carefully examining her fingers, she turned back to Liu Hua and said softly, "Her nails are clean and well-trimmed. She doesn't look like someone who does heavy work."

Liu Hua held the hot water bottle, leaning lazily on the soft pillow, his eyes moving around.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of An Lingrong's embroidery lying upside down on the table. The junctions between the stamens were dotted with morning dew.

I don’t know what I was thinking about, but my ears were burning.

Liu Hua pretended to be serious, coughed, and then said, following Cao Qinmo's words:

"I'm afraid Huan Yingda really likes her, and it must be something she did that suits Huan Yingda's wishes. I'm afraid she knows a lot."

"Your Majesty, you are praising me, but I don't know what you are talking about."

Liu Hua took the last piece of chestnut cake on the plate in front of him, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and ate it in two bites.

She placed the light green plate on Ying'er's head and said with a chuckle, "Don't tremble. This palace and Concubine Cao are not cannibals."

Cao Qinmo was the master at seizing opportunities. She whispered, "Now that Concubine Qian is in charge of the six palaces, if you don't tell us everything, Jixiang will be your lesson!"

Ying'er's body trembled even more violently, and the light green porcelain plate fell to the ground with a "bang".

Tears welled up in Ying'er's eyes. In extreme fear, she knelt forward a few steps and finally knelt on the broken porcelain pieces.

Blood began to seep through the green pants.

Liu Hua knew that this was not the time to be overwhelmed with sympathy. If he really was overwhelmed with sympathy, his cousin would insist on throwing him and Arong into the Yellow River and letting it flood.

Liu Hua glanced at Dongli and Caiju beside him, and signaled with his eyes. The two immediately understood, pulled up the crying Yin'er, and placed her in front of Liu Hua.

But at this moment, Yu'er still bit her lower lip and dared not make a sound.

After An Lingrong sorted out the red silk thread, she glanced at him and said calmly, "Huan Ying is just a promise. Even if you want to find Wanpin, Wanpin is not the head of the palace.

You still have some sense and understanding, okay?"

Knowing she couldn't do anything now, Ying'er could only confess: "The night before Imperial Concubine Dunsu passed away, my young mistress and Concubine Wan secretly changed clothes and went to Yikun Palace together."

Liu Hua placed the green-glazed lid on the table on the bowl.

After shielding herself from the mist and straightening her body, Yin'er saw that the time had come and stammered, "What this servant said is absolutely true. It is certain that my young mistress and... Concubine Wan have murdered... Imperial Concubine Dunsu. They have a long-standing... feud, and everyone in the palace knows about it."

Liu Hua brought a bowl of tea from the table in front of Ying'er, and Ying'er took a step back.

Liu Hua had no expression on his face. He held her jaw personally and poured the bowl of tea into her mouth.

"You've worked so hard. Your voice is hoarse from talking for so long. Have some tea and take a break."

Ying'er swallowed the tea with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty."

Liu Hua returned to her soft kang, dragging her heavy hair accessories with one hand.

Liu Hua no longer wears jade ornaments. Now she wears gold ornaments or kingfisher feathers on her head in accordance with Yinzhen's preferences.

Slowly plucked a butterfly-shaped jadeite ornament unique to the position of concubine from her head.

He handed it to Yin'er. At this time, Liu Hua had a smile on his face, no longer as cold and intimidating as before.

"This hairpin is inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and I will give it to you today. Don't bother with any of this nonsense."

Ying'er took the kingfisher feather in her hand with great trepidation. Dongli, who was standing next to her, took the kingfisher feather from her hand and inserted it diagonally into the bun of Ying'er, a palace maid.

He smiled softly and said, "My queen values ​​you so much, she really needs to speak well."

"I just heard Huan agree to complain. It was Concubine Wan who took the place of a guard commander. I think the commander's surname is Yue."

Liu Hua collected further information about Tong Jia Yunrong and naturally knew that she had a brother named Yue Xing'a.

Liu Hua was now terrified. She was trying hard to think about Zhen Yuandao and Longkodo who had jointly attacked Nian Gengyao during the New Year's Eve banquet.

"Tong Jia. Yun Rong and Zhen Huan have joined forces. That's not right! Tong Jia. Yun Rong is too arrogant. She must be using someone else's knife to kill someone.

Longkodo has always been arrogant, so he must have looked down on Zhen Yuandao who rose to power through his daughter.

Cao Qinmo hadn't expected this to happen, and quickly asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Ying'er lowered her head and replied timidly, "No, but I did hear Huanying complaining about Concubine Wan from time to time in the palace."

An Lingrong looked at Ying'er with scrutiny and asked in confusion, "Why did Huan promise to tell you everything?"

Ying'er finally encountered a question she could answer freely, and she answered truthfully, "It's because Huan promised that she had a sister in the Zhen Mansion, also named Ying'er.

Huan Da Ying used to be her maid, serving the current Concubine Wan.

Therefore, he often felt pity for me and specially asked me to come from Concubine Wan to serve me."
