Su De acted quickly, following the clues and finding a source, but he couldn't prove it yet.
He needs to find witnesses; without witnesses, even if he finds clues, it won't be of much use.
Sud had been searching for a witness, and finally, at the last moment, he found one.
"Are you sure you really heard what Consort Rou said? You didn't mishear, did you?"
The maidservant in front of Su De immediately shook her head.
“Eunuch Su, I can assure you that I heard it correctly. Consort Rou said it to Xiao Li, who is by her side. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiao Li.”
Having learned what he wanted to know, Su De didn't ask any further questions and immediately sent someone to bring Xiao Li over.
The moment Xiaoli heard Su De calling for her, she panicked. She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling.
She was worried that what she had done for Consort Rou would be discovered.
After all, that could cost her her head, and she was terrified.
"Um, did Eunuch Su say what he needed me for? Consort Rou needs me, but I can't leave right now!"
Xiaoli wanted to push him away, but the person in front of her didn't give her a chance at all.
When they saw that Xiaoli was not cooperating, they immediately took action.
"Eunuch Su said that if you don't cooperate, we won't be polite to you. You'd better come with us now!"
"Eunuch Su is still waiting for you."
Seeing their large entourage, Xiaoli realized she was scared.
There's nothing she can do now; she's already done it, and being afraid now won't help.
"You...you mustn't pull me, don't lay a hand on me, I'm Consort Rou's person."
"If Consort Rou finds out how you've treated me, she definitely won't let you off the hook."
The servants in front of her couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiaoli's words.
"Consort Rou, is Consort Rou older than the Emperor? We are here on the Emperor's orders to handle this matter."
So, we don't care about Consort Rou at all. Take her away! Don't keep Eunuch Su waiting too long.”
When Xiaoli was taken there and saw Su De, her legs went weak.
The main reason was that Su De's expression was very serious at this moment, so serious that it frightened her. So, for some reason, when she saw Su De, she immediately knelt down.
She couldn't control herself; the action was subconscious.
"Eunuch Su, is there anything you need from me? Consort Rou needs me. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Xiaoli forced herself to get up and leave.
But now that she's here, Su De won't let her leave without getting a clear answer.
"I heard you have an old flame in the imperial kitchen, is that true?"
At this point, Xiaoli definitely cannot admit it. If she did, she would be unable to explain what happened next.
So when she heard Su De ask her that question, she instinctively shook her head.
"No, there's no such thing, Eunuch Su, you can't listen to rumors! This servant doesn't know anyone from the Imperial Kitchen."
Su De had already had someone investigate Xiao Li thoroughly, and at this moment, he suddenly asked Xiao Li a question.
"Xiaoli, if I can help you get your parents out, would you be willing to testify? You should know that I was able to find you today because I've investigated everything thoroughly. If you don't admit it at this point, that's fine too."
We can talk to Consort Rou. Do you believe me? She'll definitely push you out the moment you do. And if you die, do you think your parents will be able to live with themselves?
Upon hearing this, Xiaoli's eyes filled with terror. Her biggest worry was her parents, so she had no idea what to do.
However, she had to admit that what Eunuch Su said was true; if she really died, her parents would definitely not survive.
So Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then suddenly kowtowed to Su De, "Eunuch Su, can you really help me? My parents are in the hands of Consort Rou, and it's not easy to get them out. Besides, I don't even know where they are being held."
Xiaoli's eyes were filled with pain when she thought about her parents.
She hadn't seen her parents for a long time, and the thought that they had been arrested because of her filled her with guilt.
"Don't worry about that. As long as you're willing to provide the certificate, I guarantee I can bring your parents out. Think it over carefully! Once you've made up your mind, you can come find me."
After saying this, Su De didn't ask any more questions and had Xiao Li released.
"You can leave now. Think about this carefully! I'm only giving you one day. If you don't come to me after one day, I'll take it as you giving up."
Xiaoli finally nodded; she really needed to think this over carefully.
Meanwhile, Rou had been searching for Xiaoli. When she woke up, she didn't see Xiaoli, and for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Where's Xiaoli? Where did Xiaoli go? You need to go and find her quickly."
The sudden change in Consort Rou's demeanor startled all the other servants in her palace.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Xiao Li must have gone out on something, she'll be back soon."
Although that's what she said, Consort Rou was still very worried, mainly because she was afraid that Xiao Li would reveal what she had done.
"I don't care what she's doing. You must find her right now. If you don't find her, you won't be able to use Xiao Li again."
Just then, Xiaoli returned, carrying some things as she walked in.
The moment Roufei saw Xiaoli, she became incredibly excited.
She completely ignored what Xiaoli was holding and slapped her across the face. Xiaoli lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing Xiaoli like this, the others immediately rushed over to help her up.
However, because Xiaoli was carrying a bowl of scalding hot soup and had been slapped by Consort Rou, she couldn't hold onto the soup properly and spilled it all.
Even more terrifying, the bowl in Xiaoli's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and her entire face was buried in the shards.
Blood was everywhere.
