Chapter 77 The Prince's Murderer

Mei Ying took a step forward, lifted the maid's hand lightly, and applied a little force on her wrist. The maid couldn't bear the pain and actually cried out loudly. Jin Yu, who was standing by, was afraid of disturbing the Crown Prince, so she quickly stuffed the diaper back.

But after a moment, the palace maid shook her head desperately, making sobbing sounds, and looked at Concubine Chen with longing on her face.

Concubine Chen Guifei then signaled Mei Ying to stop, and then asked the palace maid, "Have you figured it out?"

The palace maid nodded desperately, tears already streaming down her face.

Seeing the palace maid like this, Concubine Chen signaled Jinyu beside her to take out the diaper.

Then he looked at the maid with cold eyes: "You have to think it through. If you deceive me again, it won't be so easy."

The maid was extremely afraid of Concubine Chen Gui, and kept kowtowing: "I dare not, I will tell you everything I know."

Concubine Chen Gui only looked down at the palace maid with a dark and unclear look in her eyes.

This look made the palace maid even more frightened, and she couldn't help but shiver.

She hurriedly crawled forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and began to say: "I am a maid serving in Zhuhua Palace, my name is Yulan. Yesterday, a maid came to me and said that she wanted to give me a chance to rise to the top in one step, that is, to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"That person... that person even prepared clothes for me, and told me to come to Xingyang Palace at 5 p.m., and he would take care of everything for me. All I need is me... all I need is me..."

After saying this, the girl named Yulan didn't dare to say another word and just fell to the ground, trembling.

Jin Xin at the side couldn't help but spit: "You really tarnished the name of Yulan."

Concubine Chen Gui snorted disdainfully before saying, "Meiying, take her to Qingyun Palace and keep a good look after her."

Jinyu was puzzled: "Your Majesty, are you planning to let her go just like that?"

"Let her go? Her hand has reached the prince. If I let this one go, there will be a second one, a third one..."

"Then Madam..." Jinyu was still puzzled.

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but speak.

[My silly Jinyu, this matter concerns my brother the Crown Prince, so of course I have to inform my father. It will definitely be much better for my father to handle this matter personally than for my mother to handle it secretly.]

[This kind of thing needs to be made public, so that everyone in the harem knows about it, and so that the servants can be alerted.]

[That palace maid is so ugly, yet she dares to seduce the prince. She doesn't even know what kind of person she is.]

[No, Yulan, mother, there is something wrong with this Yulan.]

[In the story, the prince died of poisoning, which was the work of Yulan.]

[She was Prime Minister Cui's person. Now that Prime Minister Cui is gone, she must have been ordered by the Third Prince! ]

Just these one sentence and a "boom" sound exploded in Concubine Chen Gui's mind.

[Yulan in the story is also like this, but at that time the prince was already married, and she also planned to climb into the prince's bed, and then began to give the prince a chronic poison. ]

[But she was unaware of this. She only found out about it when the prince died of poisoning.]

[However, she had already fallen deeply in love with the prince by then, and she actually followed him.]

[Then she is also a murderer. She was the one who killed the prince! ]

Hearing Lu Xingwan's words, Concubine Chen Gui seemed to be struck by lightning and froze in place. She had actually caught the murderer who killed the prince.

But on second thought, he became delighted that he had somehow caught the murderer who killed the prince.

Then can Jin Yao live his life in peace?

Thinking of this, she stood up and took a long breath: "Let's go to Yu's study."

"Jinyu and ......"

Before he could finish his words, Tadahira came in.

Concubine Chen Guifei just remembered the matter of the little eunuch, and she sighed and sat back.

Seeing Concubine Chen sighing, Zhongping stepped forward and knelt down: "I am wrong."

"Tell me what you did wrong." Concubine Chen was not angry.

"Today, a young eunuch outside came to report that the Royal Concubine had injured her foot in the Yu Garden. Since it was close to the Crown Prince's palace, she came to Xingyang Palace for help."

"Since His Highness was busy in the study, I didn't think much about it and asked the servants to prepare a sedan chair and went to the Yu Garden."

"But I wandered around the Yu Garden for a long time but still couldn't find the Imperial Concubine. I then realized that I had been tricked into leaving the tiger behind. But when I came back, it was already too late."

Zhongping finished his words and kowtowed again: "Thanks to the Imperial Concubine for showing up in time today. Otherwise... please punish me."

"Zhongping," Concubine Chen Guifei shook her head and said in a heavy tone, "You are the one chosen by the late Queen for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You have always been the most reliable. Now is a time of trouble. You must be more cautious in everything."

Zhongping kowtowed again and replied: "From now on, I will always put Your Highness the Crown Prince first in everything. I will always stay by Your Highness' side and will never leave Your Highness for even a moment."

Concubine Chen nodded, then asked in confusion, "Where are the secret guards beside the prince?"

At this point, Zhongping couldn't help but sigh: "There are many things to do now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already sent out all six secret guards."

Hearing this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but frowned, and then she didn't say anything more: "You go back first and take good care of the prince, and we will talk about other things later."

Zhongpingfang thanked him again and went to the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After Zhongping left, Concubine Chen Gui couldn't help but sigh: "The prince and I are so short of people."

Jin Xin couldn't help but speak: "Lan Ying and Ju Ying went to the Western Camp, and only Mei Ying and Zhu Ying are left in the palace. Now there are many things to do..."

Pei Chuyan couldn't help but frown when he heard this, with an incomprehensible gleam in his eyes. He had been busy preparing to go on an inspection tour with the Second Prince these days, and had neglected Concubine Chen's place. If he hadn't happened to catch up today...

He immediately said, "My queen, my father left me a group of secret guards. But now that I am in the palace, they are useless. Why not transfer them here..."

"No." Before Pei Chuyan could finish, Concubine Chen Gui stopped him, "That's someone your father left for you. How can I use him?"

"Your Highness, there is nothing to worry about here," Pei Chuyan knew what words would be more likely to impress Concubine Chen, "but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot do without someone around him."

Pei Chuyan's words made Concubine Chen fall into deep thought.

Pei Chuyan saw that Concubine Chen was interested, so he continued, "If your Majesty has no objection, I will leave the palace tomorrow and select four people to enter the palace."

"That's fine," Concubine Chen nodded, "but when you go out with the Second Prince, you should also bring some reliable secret guards with you."
