Chapter 151 Hidden Dangers
"I still failed to silence her and was threatened instead. Why is Yue Fei so weak?"
When Chu Qinshu saw the secret letters pasted on the paper, even if they were all written by one party, it was not difficult for her to guess what kind of competition had taken place between Concubine Yue and the maid in the past nine years.
"Little Gourd doesn't know."
The little gourd shook its head.
There was no thought of investigating the fact that Concubine Yue, a concubine, could not kill a fellow villager who worked as a maid.
Watching videos all night long is too tiring, and it doesn't want to do it again.
When Chu Qinshu saw Xiao Hulu like this, she knew that she could not continue discussing with it.
Then he stacked the two pieces of paper as they were and put them back into the wooden box.
"Whose handkerchief and jade pendant are these?"
Chu Qinshu held a handkerchief in one hand and a jade pendant in the other and asked Xiao Hulu.
"The handkerchief belongs to your father, and the jade pendant belongs to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion."
Chu Qinshu was stunned by what Xiao Hulu said.
What do you mean this handkerchief belongs to her father?
How did a maid who followed a concubine get the handkerchief of her father, the prince?
"Xiao Hulu, how did that maid get into the Eastern Palace? I remember that according to the rules, concubines are not allowed to have maids."
The prince's concubine is just a little better than a maid.
In fact, if you don't do well, you're worse than a maid.
A maidservant could still get married, but if a concubine was not favored, she would have no choice but to die of old age or be given away.
"That Yuan Moer was not a concubine when she first entered the Eastern Palace. She was demoted to a concubine because she tried to climb into your father's bed but failed."
Xiao Hulu recalled the video he had watched and didn't understand why Yuan Moer would be so desperate as to climb into Chu Chengyi's bed.
Why is there any point in climbing into someone else's bed? Can't you sleep on your own bed?
"Oh, that makes sense."
Chu Qinshu understood everything. It turned out that Yuan Moer, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Liang Huai, had made herself a concubine.
"Then my father's handkerchief was secretly obtained by Yuan Moer, and then passed to the hands of that maid?"
Chu Qinshu guessed.
"No, the maid stole it herself when Yuan Moer climbed into your father's bed."
All the information about the maid is in the video, and Xiao Hulu will answer every question.
"Does that maid have feelings for my father?"
Chu Qinshu asked again.
"What idea?"
Little Gourd doesn't understand.
"He just covets my father and wants to replace my mother."
Chu Qinshu was thinking freely.
In this day and age, no normal person would steal someone else's handkerchief.
Only if you are interested in someone will you use his personal belongings to express your love for him.
"Little Gourd didn't see it."
In the video, the little maid didn't have so many thoughts, and the little gourd was a spiritual treasure that didn't understand human emotions, so how could it see these things?
"Okay, so how did the jade pendant from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion end up in the hands of that maid?"
Chu Qinshu really couldn't figure out where this maid had such magical powers. She happened to witness the Empress' affairs, and used that to exchange for favors with Concubine Yue, and was still alive today.
Moreover, the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion and the Duke Xuan's Mansion were not on good terms with each other. How did the jade pendant from the Marquis Cheng'en Mansion end up in the hands of the maid from the Duke Xuan's Mansion?
"I stole it from Luo Changlin."
After Luo Changlin resigned from his post and returned home with his father, Duke Xuan, on the day of Chu Qinshu's full moon, there has been no news of him since then.
Of course, Emperor Yongping has placed the entire Duke Xuan’s Mansion under house arrest, so it is normal that there is no news.
"Master, don't you think this maid is not an ordinary maid?"
In addition to being a machine that answers questions, the little gourd also uses its brain, which is a rare thing.
A maid actually let it check it all night.
Apart from anything else, the amount of video footage doesn't seem like what an insignificant supporting role should have.
"What? Did you see anything suspicious?"
Chu Qinshu was thinking about the relationship between Duke Xuan's Mansion and Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion. When Xiao Hulu suddenly reminded her of this, she began to have some doubts.
The things in this box in the hands of a maid are indeed a bit strange.
But she remembered that in the original book, this maid didn't have many scenes.
"I didn't see anything suspicious. It was just my intuition."
The little gourd shook its head. It tried to think, but it simply couldn't understand the twists and turns of human affairs.
"That maidservant didn't spread any news, did she?"
Chu Qinshu suddenly thought of the word "Xizuo". Ordinary maids did not have any abilities, but it was hard to say what the Xizuo carefully trained in this country could do.
"No, there is no video of her sending messages, and even the video of her origin does not show any problems."
Little Gourd is very confident in its eyes and knows that it will not make mistakes.
"That's good. Just in case, we can't keep that maid any longer."
Chu Qinshu put the box into the study of the ancient house, left this sentence and left the room.
Chu Chengyi was still in the study room holding Chu Qinshu.
The box that had just been dug out disappeared, and my daughter fell asleep and couldn't be woken up. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.
But no matter how nervous he was, he could only wait patiently. There was nothing he could do.
“Oh.”
【Daddy, Shu'er is awake.】
As soon as Chu Qinshu opened her eyes, she saw Chu Chengyi staring at her intently, and she felt a little...how to put it, well, it was a guilty feeling.
She entered the space too quickly when she got the box.
No one even said hello to Chu Chengyi in advance.
Now, how should she explain the disappearance of the box?
"Ah, ah, ah."
[Shu'er wants to take a bath, Shu'er wants to change clothes and sleep on the rocking bed. ]
If you don't know how to explain it, just change the subject.
Anyway, she is just a baby, Chu Chengyi won’t force her to answer questions about the box, right?
"Okay, Daddy will take you back to the bedroom to take a shower and sleep on the rocking bed."
Sure enough, after Chu Chengyi wrapped up Chu Qinshu, he carried her back to the bedroom.
Then, Aunt Yao was asked to take care of Chu Qinshu's washing, solving personal problems before bedtime, and drinking milk.
At the same time, he also went out to clean himself up.
When he returned to the bedroom, Chu Qinshu had also been tidied up by Aunt Yao and was lying on the rocking bed to be coaxed to sleep.
"I am here to coax the little princess, you all should leave now."
Chu Chengyi asked everyone to leave, and only the father and daughter were left in the bedroom.
“Ahh.”
[Daddy, Shu'er went to bed first, Daddy should go to bed early too. ]
After Chu Qinshu finished speaking, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The closed eyelids were still trembling slightly, and the eyeballs were moving left and right under the eyelids.
It doesn't look like he's asleep at all.
"Well, Shu'er, go to bed first. Daddy will go to bed early too."
Chu Chengyi's lips curled slightly, as if he was calculating something, but his tone was doting.
"Master, didn't you say that the maidservant couldn't stay? If you don't ask your father for help, do you want to do it yourself?"
Seeing that his master had even forgotten the important matter, Little Gourd had no choice but to remind her.
Although the maid did not seem to affect the plot in the original book, it always felt that keeping her alive would be a hidden danger.
You should know that in the original book, she was not imprisoned in the dungeon of the East Palace.
But now she has been locked up for more than twenty days and is on the verge of collapse.
Who knows what unexpected actions she will take when she collapses.
If she runs out of the dungeon and spreads the Queen's affairs, it will be a big trouble.
"Um......"
Chu Qinshu wanted to say that she hadn't figured out how to tell her father yet.
If she pretended to forget about the box, she didn't know if her father would keep chasing her.
