Chapter 373 A Little White Lotus

The housekeeper said in a difficult tone: "Your Highness, this maid must have been careless and made a mistake... This..."

The queen ignored the fat housekeeper and walked quickly into the courtyard, her skirt fluttering.

After walking to the main hall and sitting down steadily, the queen said in a deep voice: "Housekeeper, bring the person out, there is no need to hide!"

The housekeeper's eyes dimmed, but he still bit his back teeth and pretended to be calm: "What the queen said, I don't understand."

The queen sneered twice: "Do you think I am stupid? The clothes are exposed, are you still stubborn? Where is the owner of the clothes? Bring her to see me!"

The queen's voice was cold and her momentum was overwhelming.

After hearing this, the butler's spirit, which had just been strong, immediately collapsed, and his legs became a little weak.

"I obey your command."

The butler said, and walked back. Yingxue followed behind cleverly.

After a while, a girl in a green silk skirt came out of the bedroom at the back. The

girl was tall, slim, and had delicate features.

She walked to the front of the queen and knelt down.

"Your servant greets the queen and the Princess Anguo!"

[This is it! Wow, she is really a beauty, and she looks very distinctive, not some ordinary girl.]

Xia Miaoyuan sat on the armchair next to her and looked the girl up and down.

"Stand up and talk." The queen said in a light tone.

"What's your name?"

"My name is... Xiaoya."

"What's your surname?"

"My surname is Wang."

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Qizhou."

"How old are you?"

"I'm seventeen."

The queen asked the girl as if she was checking her household registration, and the girl answered respectfully.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that the girl thinks about each question and does not blurt it out.

[She must be lying.] Xia Miaoyuan observed the girl coldly and said in her heart.

The queen continued to ask: "When and how did you enter the second prince's mansion?"

The girl said softly: "I met the second prince on the road when he returned to Beijing a few days ago."

"My parents are both dead, and I wanted to go to Beijing to make a living. I didn't expect to meet bad people on the road. Fortunately, I was rescued by the second prince, so His Highness took me in."

A trace of mockery flashed in the queen's eyes.

"What do you count as the Second Prince now? A maidservant? Or a close servant?"

The girl frowned uneasily, twisting her handkerchief with her hands: "I don't know either."

Suddenly, the girl knelt down again with a thud: "Your Majesty, I am innocent with the Second Prince. Nothing has ever happened between me and the Second Prince!"

"I am grateful to the Second Prince for saving my life. I have sworn to him that I am willing to serve him for the rest of my life and do anything to repay his kindness!"

Seeing this, Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips, [Oh my god, this girl is such a good actress! ]

[What a good actress! Are you the legendary Little White Lotus of the Prosperous Age? ]

When the Queen heard this, her eyebrows were raised, and she slammed her hands heavily on the table.

Everyone was shocked.

The queen was always gentle and kind, and rarely got so angry.

"You speak softly, but you are very brave in front of me! You lie without blinking an eye."

"When I ask you about your life, not a single word you say is true!"

The girl froze when she heard this.

The queen said calmly: "Judging from your complexion and facial features, you are

definitely not from Qizhou." "You said you met a villain and were rescued by Chengnian."

"He is a vanguard general, so he naturally took the official road back to Beijing. How could the villain choose to attack a woman on the road?"

"What's more, he led the army back to Beijing, and there was a lot of noise wherever he went. The villain would have been scared away by the sound of the army's carriages, so how could he attack her?" "

Tell the truth as soon as possible, otherwise I will punish you!"

The girl's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will tell the truth."

"My name is Wuya, and I am from the Dawa tribe in the northern border. I was rescued by the second prince when he was fighting in the northern border. I had no home and nowhere to go, but the second prince took pity on me and brought me back."

The queen's face changed drastically after hearing this: "What? You said your name is Wuya!?"

"There are not many people with the surname Wu in the Dawa tribe. Who is the high priest Wu Saijiang of the Dawa tribe to you?"

Wuya said gently: "He is my grandfather."

The queen's face changed drastically: "You are the granddaughter of the high priest of the Dawa tribe!?"

Hearing this, Xia Miaoyuan had an expression of understanding, [No wonder the second brother wanted to hide this girl. ]

[I remember from the book that the Dawa tribe was savage and fierce, and was the mortal enemy of the Xiaolin tribe. ]

[And the high priest of the tribe was a very powerful person. 】

【If the son of the princess of the Xiaolin tribe marries the daughter of the chief priest of the Dawa tribe, it would be a union of the children of enemies. 】

【If my second brother tells my mother the truth, my mother will definitely not agree. 】

"Queen, please spare my life! I know that the hands of the Dawa tribe are stained with the blood of the people of the Xiaolin tribe, but this is the hatred between the two tribes from generation to generation. It has nothing to do with Wuya. Wuya is just a lady and doesn't understand these things."

Wuya kowtowed with tears streaming down her face.

"What's more, now the whole northern border is ruled by the Xiao family, and the Dawa tribe has collapsed. Please be merciful and let Wuya go!"

"Wuya is just a worthless creature. Your Majesty, please don't kill Wuya!"

"Your Majesty, please spare Wuya's life!"

Wuya kowtowed and cried for mercy. People who don't know the inside story would think that Wuya was a pitiful little white lotus.

The queen murmured: "When did I say I would kill you? Get up!"

But Wuya was indifferent. She continued to kneel and kowtow while crying and begging for mercy.

At this moment, a clear male voice came in.

"Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the second prince.

The second prince strode in and walked straight to Wuya who was kneeling and kowtowing on the ground. He helped Wuya up and protected Wuya in front of her.

"Mother, I beg you, don't kill Wuya, she is innocent!" The second prince looked at the queen with burning eyes.

"The Dawa tribe has done many evil things. Those are the evil deeds of the Dawa tribe leader and the aristocratic families. It has nothing to do with Wuya. She is only a 17-year-old girl."

"Mother, I beg you, please don't kill Wuya!" The second prince's eyes were red and his hands were shaking slightly.

Seeing the second prince's reaction so intense, the queen was a little dazed for a moment.

Although the second prince was not as elegant as the crown prince, he was very filial to the queen since he was a child. No matter how excited he was, he had never spoken to her like this.

The queen looked at the second prince steadily. At this time, looking at the son standing in front of her, she felt a little strange.

Those red eyes were so strange, and those shouts were so chilling.

[What's going on? ] Even Xia Miaoyuan was a little confused.

"Second brother, you misunderstood mother. Mother didn't say anything!" Xia Miaoyuan jumped over and took the second prince's hand.

"Mother didn't even say she wanted to execute Wu Ya."
