This person was none other than Hui Guipin's former maid Xiu Yun.
The last time Princess Baohua said something wrong, she was beaten with a stick, but luckily she didn't die.
But she knew that even if she didn't die now, she would have no way to survive in the future.
As early as when Su Yue was killed by Concubine Hui, she had no feelings for her master at all. Seeing her watching coldly this time, she felt extremely cold-hearted.
They were the elderly who had served her for many years! However, thinking of Nanny Sun, Xiu Yun sneered even more. How could someone who could watch his own wet nurse die have any humanity left?
So, don't blame Concubine Hui for her betrayal. She just wanted a way to survive.
Wang Fuhai looked at Xiu Yun sinisterly. He never expected that the person who betrayed Concubine Hui in the end was the first-class palace maid beside her.
"Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?" The palace maid who betrayed her master did not need to be taken seriously, and Wang Fuhai asked with a contemptuous tone.
Xiu Yun swallowed her saliva. Since she dared to say it, she must have evidence. However, she had to exchange this evidence for something else.
"Of course I do, but please inform the emperor. I want to use this evidence to exchange for a favor."
Wang Fuhai narrowed his eyes. This palace maid was indeed a troublemaker. However, he had been investigating for the past few days and had no clue. Although the palace maid said that the person behind the incident was Concubine Hui, she had no evidence and it was difficult for her to report to the emperor.

After hearing what Xiu Yun said, Emperor Xuan Jing's face turned cold.
Concubine Hui... It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but because she is Princess Baohua's biological mother, he secretly hopes that this incident was not done by her.
Such a vicious woman! She was actually the mother of his daughter!
He closed his eyes and said, "Go to Zhaoyang Palace."
All the palace maids in Zhaoyang Palace have been replaced. After Nanny Sun died, Concubine Hui was depressed for a while, but she quickly cheered up.
She couldn't fall down, Jiaer said the wrong thing, but it wasn't a big deal.
She won't fall out of favor because of this, no!
Therefore, she still asked the palace maids to dress her up every day, hoping that the emperor would come to see her.
She gave birth to the emperor's only princess, and she couldn't believe that the emperor would abandon her like this.
However, she had been waiting for many days, but she didn't expect that the scene would be like this when the emperor came again.
When Concubine Hui was looked at by Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes as deep as a pool, she felt a strong sense of unease.
She knew that the bitch Bai Susu had a miscarriage, and the Yulin Guards also came to her Zhaoyang Palace to search it.
But they still found nothing! The craftsman was already dead, and she didn't believe the emperor could find out about her.
"Your Majesty... Why did Your Majesty come to Zhaoyang Palace today?" She pretended to be calm, raised a gentle smile, and asked softly.
Emperor Xuan Jing looked at him without any tenderness in his eyes.
He sat at the top, his eyes as sharp as a knife, sizing up Concubine Hui as if he were seeing her for the first time.
The look in her eyes was so sharp that it made Concubine Hui feel as if a thorn in her back was thorned.
She tidied the handkerchief in her hand nervously, raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Why does Your Majesty look at me like this?"
Wang Fuhai lowered his eyelids, thinking to himself that Concubine Hui had been immersed in the deep palace for many years and was really well hidden.
She has always been domineering, so everyone thought she was just a big-breasted, brainless fool. Unexpectedly, she is not only brave, but also has first-class strategies.
How dare they poison the Empress for so long? Thinking back to what the palace maid had said just now, that the death of the late Empress was also closely related to this "Poppy Yu", the Emperor's expression at that time was, wow.
The emperor holds great power and thinks that both the court and the harem are under his control. However, he did not expect that there is someone like Hui Guipin who has deceived him for several years.
Wang Fuhai couldn't even imagine how angry Emperor Xuan Jing was at that moment.
Emperor Xuan Jing snorted coldly and said, "I see behind your beautiful face, what a sinister heart you have."
Concubine Hui was horrified and fell to her knees. When she looked up again, her eyes were already filled with tears. "I don't know what I have done wrong to make the emperor say this to me. I am truly terrified."
Emperor Xuan Jing really didn't want to watch Concubine Hui's acting anymore, so he winked and someone brought up Xiu Yun and another palace maid, Qiu Ying.
It turns out that Qiuying was the trump card that Concubine Hui used to win over the craftsmen in the Imperial Household Department. The craftsman's name was Zhang Kuan, and he was a fellow villager of Qiuying. When Qiuying went to the Imperial Household Department to pick up something, she met Lin Kuan by chance. They fell in love at first sight and secretly fell in love.
It is a capital crime for a palace maid to have an affair with a man other than the emperor, but after Hui Guipin found out, she did not punish Qiuying. Instead, she promised her that if Lin Kuan was willing to help her, she would let Qiuying leave the palace and make them a pair of lovebirds.
Therefore, Lin Kuan became a knife in Hui Guipin's hand.
"I listened to Concubine Hui's words, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect Concubine Hui to actually kill Lin Kuan. Now that Lin Kuan is dead, I have no attachment to this world anymore. But it was only for me that Lin Kuan followed Concubine Hui's instructions and harmed the Imperial Concubine... I am willing to die as an apology. I only ask that the Emperor spare Lin Kuan's family. They know nothing."
After Qiu Ying finished speaking, she slammed her head against the ground. The people around her were unable to pull her back in time, and with a bang, her face was covered in blood.
Seeing Qiuying being hit to death like this, Hui Guipin's face turned pale, as if someone had poured a basin of ice and snow on her head. This lowly maid died to show her will, who could still believe that she was lying?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense, she is slandering me!"
Concubine Hui kept shaking her head. Emperor Xuan Jing looked towards the door and saw a guard coming in from outside. He knelt down and reported: "This humble official dug this out from under the apricot tree outside. After examination by the imperial physician, it is indeed "Poppy".
Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes shot towards Concubine Hui like arrows: "What else do you have to say?"
The coldness gradually spread to every part of my body.
Hui Guipin's usually delicate face had now lost its color, and traces of tears had washed away her makeup, revealing a somewhat decadent look.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what this is. Did Xiuyun say that this maid holds a grudge against me and is slandering me? This maid is talking nonsense!" Her voice was shrill and she had completely lost her composure.
But Emperor Xuan Jing could no longer believe her. Now that there were witnesses and evidence, what else could he refute?
He was just sad. Sad that he had been deceived by this vicious woman! Sad that the queen had died young because of this vicious woman. Sad that he had not been able to protect Susu and the child in her belly!
All this was done by this vicious woman!
He suddenly kicked the vicious woman to the ground: "Still quibbling!"
"Ah!" Concubine Hui screamed miserably. Emperor Xuan Jing was very strong and she felt as if her ribs were broken by the kick, but what hurt more was her heart.
"Jiaer... my Jiaer, Your Majesty, I gave birth to a princess for you, you can't kill me..." She already knew that Emperor Xuan Jing wanted to kill her, but she kept mentioning Princess Baohua, hoping to make Emperor Xuan Jing feel sympathy.
Who knew that when Emperor Xuan Jing heard her mention He Jia, he became even more furious!
It was because of her! Her daughter would forever be shrouded in the shadow of her mother being a criminal, and she would never be able to raise her head in this life!
She actually has the nerve to say that!
