Chapter 224 Qiong Hua's Discovery

She was clearly the head maid of the Jinxiu Palace, but after Yue Ran came, she actually replaced her.

But if it’s just Yueran, then it’s okay.

This Bai Ling, clearly relied on her own connections to enter the Jinxiu Palace to serve, but she won the favor of the Empress and has now become a first-class maid, even more favored by the Empress than herself.

Shen Ning arranged everything, and then told them to leave, and he took a rest for a while.

Bai Ling quietly came to Yunlan's side and gently pulled her sleeve: "Sister Yunlan."

Yunlan turned around and looked at Bai Ling, but there was no joy in her eyes as before.

"Don't worry, Sister Yunlan. No matter what the Queen says, I will never go beyond you." Bai Ling said bluntly.

Yunlan was a little surprised and tried to explain herself to cover up her embarrassment: "That's not what I meant..."

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Of course I know that my sister is doing this for my own good, otherwise she wouldn't have brought me into the Jinxiu Palace."

"Now I live a much more relaxed life than when I was in Changqiu Palace."

"Since you used to serve Concubine De, why would the Third Prince let you be a maid?" Yunlan forgot about the conflict of interests between herself and Bai Ling for a moment and felt sorry for her.

"Oh no!" Bai Ling quietly approached Yun Lan, "Sister, you must be careful of the Third Prince in the future."

"He is a very lustful man. He tried to rape me before, but I escaped. This time he defeated me."

"Ah!" Yun Lan covered her mouth, "It's so ridiculous."

"Who says it's not true? My family is clearly going to take me out of the palace in a year. If the Third Prince wants me, my life will be ruined."

"Sister, have you made up your mind? Do you want to go with me?"

"I mentioned Sister Yunlan to my family when I wrote to them earlier. Now the whole family is very grateful to her!"

Yunlan was so overwhelmed by Bai Ling's sweet words that she had no way of noticing the many flaws in Bai Ling's words.

Seeing that Yunlan had let down her guard, Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Now is not the time to abandon this person.

You know, stupid people are easy to take advantage of.

Yue Ran and others had just left Shen Ning's bedroom when Prince Yi came again.

Only this time, he was not wearing a mask.

Shen Ning looked at him in the moonlight and felt a little moved.

Prince Yi's tone was still bad: "You are at ease being the empress, taking care of many harem affairs for the Emperor of Great Chu."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Ning felt that the ambiguous atmosphere in the air just now disappeared immediately.

When she spoke again, her tone was aggressive: "If I had known that being the queen was so exhausting, I would have chosen someone else to do the job."

But Shen Ning's words easily angered King Yi.

He stepped forward and pinched her neck: "You'd better always remember your status and position."

"Think about it, if the Great Chu Emperor knew your identity, how would he deal with you?"

This is a blatant threat.

Shen Ning was not afraid of him, and reached out to knock down his writing: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please don't forget your identity."

"After all, I am the king and you are the subject."

When Shen Ning said this, he was more domineering than ever before.

Prince Yi was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed softly: "It turns out you still have some backbone."

After saying that, he stood up, took a few steps away from Shen Ning, and bowed to Shen Ning.

This was the first time that Prince Yi saluted Shen Ning.

"In recent days, I think the Third Prince has already started to take action. You should stay in the palace longer."

After saying that, he left from the window.

Shen Ning had a rare good sleep.

The person who had the most difficulty falling asleep in the palace at this moment was probably the third princess.

Since Yun Guiren was executed, she was moved into Lan Fei's Yanhe Palace by the Empress Dowager.

The third princess was not willing to do so. After all, it was common knowledge in the palace that Concubine Lan was on good terms with the Royal Concubine.

That Imperial Concubine Song Qingyan was clearly the murderer of his mother, and he would never forgive her.

At that time, the third princess thought that no matter how Concubine Lan tried to please her, she would never pay any attention to her.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan had no enthusiasm for her.

But when she arrived, he met her and gave a few words of advice to the maid beside her.

After that, he never took the initiative to see me again.

The third princess was a little flustered.

That's why I came up with that idea, to gain some fame for myself.

But she didn't expect that she would get to know a fool like He Yunyao.

How dare she do this behind my back!

She held this banquet in her own name. This noblewoman in the capital was well-known to everyone, but she didn't expect such a mess to happen.

If my father knew about this, he would definitely blame me.

I don't want to be like Xiaoliu, that fool, and ruin my own future.

In the past few days since Lin Yin's accident, the third princess has been falling asleep with fear, and she has even dreamed many times that her father reprimanded her.

After nightfall that day, Song Qingyan waited for a long time, and only felt relieved when Qiong Hua came back.

"Fortunately, we made it in time." Qiong Hua was panting as he talked to Song Qingyan in the main hall of Qingyun Palace. "We were delayed on the way. We almost wouldn't have made it back in time."

Mei Ying was also in Qingyun Palace at this time.

Both of them were reporting the same thing to Song Qingyan.

[Sister Qionghua is finally back! 】

【I haven't seen you for a day. I miss you so much every night! 】

Lu Xingwan muttered to himself as he walked towards Qiong Hua.

But Song Qingyan picked her up and put her next to her: "Sister Qionghua is tired today, so don't bother her every night."

Hearing the words "Sister Qionghua", Qionghua, who was drinking tea, paused and started coughing violently.

Since Meiying was the only one in the inner room, she stepped forward and patted her back gently: "Girl, go slowly."

Qiong Hua looked at Lu Xingwan and Song Qingyan in front of him again, as if he wanted to see something from their faces.

Song Qingyan didn't notice this, she just looked at Qiong Hua with burning eyes: "How is it? What did you find?"

Qiong Hua paused for a moment before speaking: "It is said that Miss Lin was abducted and then killed, and thrown into a mass grave."

"But I went to see, and I'm afraid that Miss Lin was insulted before she died."

"How could He Yunyao be so cruel?" Mei Ying couldn't help but blurt out.

She also followed the young lady's instructions and investigated the details of the matter. Naturally, she also knew that it was He Yunyao who was responsible.

[Sure enough, the storyline didn’t explicitly say that Lin Yin was insulted.]

[But if you use your toes to think about it, you will know that if such a young woman falls into the hands of those people, how could she return safely? ]

[No wonder Lin Yin wanted to commit suicide.]

[But now it’s different. She actually died at the hands of those people.]
