Chapter 804 You silly goose, go and "tell on" them!
Li San Niang's three consecutive questions not only stunned Princess Qingyang, but also surprised everyone else in the main hall who never imagined that Li San Niang would dare to say anything.
"……presumptuous!
How dare you speak of a sage!
Dr. Li, please be careful what you say!
After scolding her, Princess Qingyang gave a wink to Granny Yan. Granny Yan took the princess's signal and immediately beckoned for the two maids standing behind Princess Qingyang to follow her out.
The maidservant obediently followed Granny Yan out the door. Granny Yan, who was standing at the door about to close it, nodded to Princess Qingyang, who was looking over, and then closed the door.
Standing at the door, Granny Yan lowered her voice and said sternly to the two young maids, "You've both been serving the princess since you were little, and you didn't hear anything today!"
"Yes, this servant didn't hear anything!"
Granny Yan glared at the slow-reacting maid, "This servant didn't hear anything either!"
Although Granny Yan appeared to be reprimanding the maids, she had actually already reviewed the backgrounds of both maids in her mind. Thinking that both of them were born into the household and their families depended on the Prince's Mansion for their livelihood, Granny Yan felt somewhat relieved.
"However, it would be better to gradually transfer their families to the princess's dowry estate. That way, they will be easier to manage, and we can also prevent them from talking to other people in the prince's mansion."
While pondering what to do next, Granny Yan suddenly turned around and saw that Qiu Xiang and Ling Lan had also come out of the main hall.
Qiu Xiang closed the door, and she and Ling Lan bowed to Granny Yan without saying a word, then consciously moved to the other side of the doorway.
Therefore, at this moment, only Li San Niang and Princess Qingyang remained in the room.
Granny Yan's brows furrowed deeply, and her already stern face now made her look like the most rigid teacher in the school.
Granny Yan knew in her heart that Li San Niang would never have been alone with the princess if it weren't for the princess's permission.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing...? My princess..."
...
Granny Yan, Qiu Xiang, and Ling Lan, who had been standing outside the door for almost an hour, all turned to look at the door that had been opened at the same time.
Standing side by side, Li San Niang and Princess Qingyang looked at everyone in the light. Facing Granny Yan's anxious gaze, Princess Qingyang simply nodded slightly and did not say anything in front of everyone.
Princess Qingyang escorted Li Sanniang to the door, saying, "Please wait, Princess. I was being presumptuous today."
However, time is extremely tight, so I, Third Sister, have no choice but to take a gamble.
Li San Niang bowed respectfully to the princess, "Princess, if you have made up your mind, please contact me anytime, and I will be there whenever you call."
No one knows what Li San Niang and Princess Qingyang said during that hour. Only Granny Yan knows that after Li San Niang left, Princess Qingyang only ate half a bowl of soup noodles for dinner and then put down her chopsticks. Princess Qingyang, who usually went to bed on time at 20:00, did not sleep at all that night.
The candles in the room burned all night, and it wasn't until dawn that Princess Qingyang seemed to have figured something out before she lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
As for Li Sanniang, after leaving Princess Qingyang's place, she took Qiuxiang and left the drug rehabilitation center.
On the carriage back to Chang'an, Qiu Xiang stared at Li San Niang with an expression that seemed to want to say something but dared not, which made Li San Niang unable to help but chuckle.
"Alright, just say what you have to say. What can't we say to each other?"
Li San Niang reached out and pulled Qiu Xiang closer to her, speaking to her with a smile.
Qiu Xiang first glanced at the carriage curtain, and seeing that the tenth driver on the carriage shaft hadn't noticed them, she lowered her head and whispered in Li San Niang's ear, "San Niangzi, how dare you say such a thing!"
Even if you were to say it, how could you say it in front of Princess Qingyang!
Princess, after all, is a member of the imperial family with a certain rank, and the Emperor is her grandmother!
Third Sister, you... are indeed just as the master said..."
"Disregard for the law? Utter disrespect? Are you courting death?"
"Third Sister!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore."
Li San Niang spoke these words to Qiu Xiang in a high-pitched voice while gently patting the back of Qiu Xiang's hand.
As soon as Qiu Xiang saw Li San Niang's expression, she knew that Li San Niang was just trying to coax her like a dewdrop.
"Third Sister!"
What if others found out that Third Sister said such things?
Seeing that Qiu Xiang was genuinely anxious, with her eyes even turning red, Li San Niang quickly suppressed her joking expression and lowered her head to whisper to Qiu Xiang, "Good Qiu Xiang, I know you're worried about me, but as I told Princess Qingyang, at this point, I'm really just trying anything, even if it seems hopeless."
That's why I went directly to Princess Qingyang, the person I had been in contact with in the past, who was not only the most noble in status but had also shown considerable ambition.
Besides, that's where the princess resides. I know the Bad People would plant spies among the royal family, but Princess Qingyang is, after all, the daughter of Prince Xiang. A princess in a royal residence should have her own guards, not spies.
That's why I dared to take the gamble.
As for the others present, Granny Yan and the maid were living off the princess, so they wouldn't say anything out of turn.
Linglan is my disciple, and since our interests are aligned, she will naturally not betray me.
You have saved my life several times, and you know everything about my background. If you were to tell Mr. Ke, that would truly be exactly what I want.
Qiu Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief. She wondered if she was hallucinating, as if she had actually heard Li San Niang say that she was willing to report her words to Mr. Bu Ke.
"Silly girl, you heard me right. I want you to tell Mr. Bu Ke everything I said to Princess Qingyang today, word for word."
As for what I spoke privately with Princess Qingyang, haha, I will tell Mr. Bu Ke when he comes to find me.”
"Third Sister, you..."
“My Qiu Xiang, it’s no use to fight alone in the court. In such a harsh environment, there is no other way but to stick together.”
Self-interest is what lasts; personal gains and losses are insignificant.
Qiu Xiang only vaguely understood what Li San Niang was saying, but she knew that Li San Niang had her own plans.
"Okay, I'll listen to Third Sister."
After we return to the city, we'll go back to the alliance headquarters after dinner.
Just as Qiu Xiang herself said, after returning to the Li family and having dinner with them, Qiu Xiang changed into her night clothes and jumped onto the roof.
At the headquarters of the Bad Guys in Chang'an, Mr. Bu Ke, still sitting in his wheelchair and dressed in white, looked at Qiu Xiang, who was standing with her head bowed below him, and asked casually, "And then? Did you hear what Third Sister and Princess Qingyang were saying?"
Qiu Xiang shook her head. "Sir, I was standing outside the door at the time, but with my hearing, I really didn't hear a single thing."
