Chapter 40 Dare you talk back?
The eyes of all the imperial guards fell on the kneeling palace maid.
Just wait for her to finish speaking, and then capture the maid named Chuntai at all costs and return to the palace to report as soon as possible.
As the Queen's servant, the maid clutched the corner of Eunuch Chen's robe tightly, as if she had grabbed a lifeline, and cried bitterly:
"Eunuch Chen, I really didn't kill anyone! It's true that I pushed Madam Feng into this. She relied on her position as the steward of Prince Qi's mansion to oppress and exploit us all day long, and she even stole my mother's belongings!"
"I hate her, but she died after being kicked in the head by the Prime Minister's granddaughter! I didn't mean to kill anyone, I just wanted to..."
"How dare you!" Princess Qi, trying to hide her panic, shouted without hesitation, "You lowly slave! How dare you push the blame onto a child? Murder is a capital crime. Think it over before you speak!"
“…” The palace maid realized it belatedly and was horrified… Why were what she said different from what she thought in her heart?
The old eunuch with a pale face and no beard pursed his lips and sighed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, kicked the palace maid in front of him away, and suddenly lifted the sack covering Feng Ma's body.
Pointing at the corpse, he said, "You need evidence to speak! Let me ask you, which one of your mother's belongings is it?"
The palace maid shook her head vigorously. She didn't want to say anything and couldn't say anything, but she couldn't help but point at the bracelet on Nanny Feng's wrist and said through gritted teeth:
"On the inside of that bracelet is engraved my name before I entered the palace. My mother carved it with her own hands when she missed me..."
Upon hearing this, Prince Qing drew the sword from his guard's waist, flew to the corpse at lightning speed, and cut off Nanny Feng's wrist with one blow.
The wind from the knife brushed past the tip of the old eunuch's nose, and Eunuch Chen was so frightened that his pupils trembled violently and he almost wet his pants!
With a "clang" sound, the long sword returned to the sheath. He couldn't help shivering and immediately bent down to pick up the bracelet.
“Yo!”
"There's actually a name on it—Li Lai Di."
“?!!” It’s over, completely over! The maid collapsed to the ground, a fishy-sweet taste lingering in her mouth.
What did she say?
Could it be that she is possessed by a ghost?
Seeing Yan Li about to put the talisman on the person next to him, Xiao Tangbao was so anxious that his voice cracked: "That's spicy enough!"
From the day she agreed to learn the rebound technique, she could see her merit points at any time.
[Xifu posted too quickly. If he continues, Tangbao will have no merit!]
Seeing the little fellow faintly wanting to clench his fist, Yan Li, fearing he would be struck by lightning, could only float back to Tang Bao in frustration: "Do you want to learn? Draw your own talismans and you'll have a permanent solution. Maybe you can even sell them for money!"
“…” Xiao Tangbao said nothing, just stared at Yanli.
Why did she feel something was wrong?
Hearing his daughter's roar, Yun Che just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
He glanced at Eunuch Chen and the commander of the Imperial Guards. His expression was as indifferent as an outsider, yet his aura was intimidating. "Now that things have come to this, are you two still determined to kill my men?"
"Your Highness Prince Qing, calm down..." Eunuch Chen quickly leaned forward and said carefully, "The Empress is punishing the murderer, not just one person."
"I will immediately execute the criminal and return to the palace to report. I dare not bother Your Highness again!"
As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Chen personally took the knife and ended the life of the palace maid, then bowed and took his leave.
A huge group of people surrounded Prince Qing's Mansion in a hurry, and then fled with their tails between their legs and covered in dust.
It's a huge joke to anyone who sees it.
Although it was just a false alarm, the people in Prince Qing's Mansion did not feel the joy of surviving the disaster, but only fear.
I escaped this time, but what about next time?
Who on earth couldn't hold back and was determined to harm their prince?
Ugh...
Why think so much? These are not things that warriors like them can worry about!
All they have to do is protect the lives of the prince and the little princess at all times!
Thinking of the little princess, everyone thought she was really a lucky star!
I thought today would be a bloody day with several lives lost...but who would have thought that the situation would be reversed so quickly after the appearance of the little princess?!
Thinking of her stubborn look when she risked her life to protect Chuntai, the eyes of the group of men were slightly red. When they looked at the little girl again, they all felt that she was coated with a layer of dazzling Buddha's light.
Thinking of the little princess's busy "crunching" mouth all day long... everyone walked up to her and stuffed snacks into her hands.
When Prince Qing walked back with a gloomy look in his eyes, he saw the little guy holding a variety of snacks in his arms.
There were deformed pastries, sliced sausages, dried meat made of unknown meat, and even a bag of pumpkin kernels wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief.
The pumpkin kernels were all intact, and it was obvious that a woman had peeled them one by one for her husband as a snack to go with his wine.
Oh, you're willing to give this to her?
I didn’t realize this little thing is so popular!
As expected of Yun Che's son, he looks just like him!!
Chuntai couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Xiao Tangbao, who couldn't see the road because he was holding a bunch of things.
She bent down to help her pick up a few items, but when she looked at the pile of food, she suddenly thought of something and frowned.
"Your Highness?"
"Hmm? There are so many snacks here. Sister Chuntai, please help me get some!"
"That evening by the lotus pond, Princess Yihe said you secretly gave her candy. Princess, where did you get the candy?"
"......?" Little Tangbao's eyes rolled, and he ran away without caring about the snacks in his arms, "Wow, wow, wow, no!"
If Sister Chuntai finds out that she's eating candy secretly, she'll have to brush her teeth every day!
Asking others to help brush your teeth will make you laugh at the kids! Tangbao is a big kid now, you can brush your teeth for a while!
The little one ran all the way and the things in his arms fell all the way. She was so distressed that she cried loudly.
Chuntai squinted at her master beside her and said in a cold tone, "May I ask, Your Majesty, were the candies you secretly bought for the princess?"
"It's not me." Prince Qing's eyes darkened. "I suggest you search Chengfeng's room. Also, send someone to check on the Queen."
Chuntai and King Qing: "..."
After a brief silence, the two of them disappeared at the same time.
One went straight to Chengfeng's bedroom, and the other went to catch Xiao Tangbao.
Just when Xiao Tangbao thought she was safe, she had just stuffed a piece of dried meat into her mouth when someone picked her up and tucked her under her armpit.
Looking at the few snacks left in her hand, she protested angrily:
"Daddy, you hold me like this, Tangbao is uncomfortable!"
"Daddy dropped Tangbao's snacks. I'm sorry to those kind guards!"
“Daddy…”
"You think you're right to eat candy secretly? Why don't you shut up!" The man put on an angry look.
He said confidently, "This king will not let your guard uncles down. This king will give each of them a reward of ten taels of silver later."
Tang Bao: “…” What reward?
A reward for protecting Sister Chuntai? She must have one too!
Seeing the little guy raise his eyebrows and try to suppress his laughter, the man said coldly: "Not only will you not get any money! If you don't behave, you won't even get any New Year's money!"
"Tsk!" Tang Bao's face darkened in an instant. He patted his Qiankun bag and said bluntly, "If you don't have any, then you don't have any! Tang Bao has plenty of money!"
"You dare to talk back?" Prince Qing snorted coldly, holding the little guy in his arms and walked towards the treasury.
