    ?

    I said calmly, "Master Li, did you imprison a court lady named Tweety in the Punishment Department two days ago?"

    He thought about it for a moment, and then said, "But the personal maid of the royal nobleman of Xuanning Palace?"

    I nodded slightly, "Yes, Mr. Li, please take the two of us to meet her now."

    Principal Li was silent for a moment, but didn't say much, just replied, "Yes."

    The Department of Punishment was silent, and there was a cool breeze blowing under the solemnity.

    I quietly glanced at Qin Li, her face was still as indifferent as water, she walked slowly along with Mr. Li, silent.

    Director Li took out one of the keys from a bunch of keys around his waist, opened a door, and said slowly, "Ma'am, the personal maid is here.  I have used punishment on her, and I have never let others get close."

    I nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

    Principal Li said respectfully, "Your Majesty's order, the servants are only doing what they were supposed to do."

    I looked at Tweety in the room. She was curled up in a corner, not daring to raise her head and not making any sound.

    Principal Li raised his eyes and said slowly, "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, call the servant, and the servant will leave first."

    I nodded slightly and watched him walk out the door.

    "Tweety?" I stepped forward and called tentatively.

    Her body trembled after hearing the sound, and immediately wrapped her arms around herself tightly.

    Qin Li stepped forward and helped me gradually approach her.

    I said softly, "Tweety, don't be afraid, it's Ben Gong who is here, and Ben Gong won't hurt you."

    She slowly raised her head, looking at me with fear in her eyes, she only glanced once, then immediately looked away, "Empress?"

    "Well, it's Bengong who is here, Tweety, I have something to ask you."

    She suddenly sobbed, "No, this servant doesn't know anything, nothing"

    Qin Li's voice was soft like spring rain, "Don't be afraid, just tell us what you know, don't be afraid, no matter what you say, the empress will not blame you."

    Seeing that Cui'er was still sobbing, Qin Li's voice became slightly colder, "Do you want to stay in this Punishment Department for the rest of your life? The empress can keep you for a while, but she can't keep you safe forever. You not only  You have to think about yourself, and you have to think about your father and brother at home, don't you never want to see them again?"

    Cui'er raised her face, tears welled up like a fountain, "Father and brother"

    I looked at her, and it's been two days since I saw her, but this girl's complexion has turned so pale.

    She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, then knelt down on the ground suddenly, and said in a mournful voice, "Empress, please save this servant, there is an elder at this servant's house, and this servant really doesn't want to die in this dark palace,  Empress, please save the slaves"

    I said softly, "Now you are the one who saves yourself. I just want to know something about the nobleman of Xuanning Palace, so I will tell you what you know."

    She sobbed, "Your Majesty, she went to Xuanning Palace on the day you came to Xuanning Palace."

    how come.

    I thought about it carefully. On the day I entered the palace, Lady Wang disappeared from everyone's sight. Except for the maids of Xuanning Palace, no one knew what happened to her.

    If something happened to her that day, why didn't anyone report it?

    I asked in a deep voice, "Then why did no one from Xuanning Palace report to this Palace and the Emperor?"

    "Your Majesty was unwell during those days, and wanted to be clean, so only the servants were left in the hall, and only the servants knew"

    I forced to ask, "Then why didn't you report?"

    Qin Li gently tugged on my sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "You know, deliberately concealing the situation of the master in the palace is a capital offense."

    She cried even harder, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this servant can't hide it, it's just a servant, and this servant dare not report"

    "The servant found a lot of musk under the nobleman's bed that day"

    "Musk?" Qin Li and I glanced at each other, how could there be musk under Mrs. Wang's bed.

    "The servant went to clean the nobleman's bedroom as usual that morning, but found that the nobleman was lying on the bed and lost his breath. The servant was frightened to the ground at that time, and a man in black suddenly appeared behind him. He threatened the servant that if I don't listen to him  Then I will kill my father and brother, slaves are the only ones in this world, if something happens to them, how can I survive"

    I concentrated for a moment, and then said, "What did he ask you to do?"

      She sobbed, "He asked the servant to conceal the news of the nobleman's death, and then said that the nobleman went there that day."

    According to her words, Wang Guiren and Chu Meiren happened on the same day, and why did the person who harmed Wang Guiren let Cui'er hide the news of her death?

    I can't figure out who would do this, and I can't figure out why this person would do it.

    She knelt on the ground, weeping, "The servant girl thought at the time that the nobleman is powerless, no matter what the servant girl does, she will never come back to life, but the servant girl's father and brother are different, they did nothing wrong, they  They are real people, they shouldn't be implicated because of me, empress, please forgive me, Tweety knows I was wrong, Tweety will never dare again"

    I was stunned for a moment, concentrating on silence.

    Qin Li said softly, "Don't be afraid, get ready to leave the palace and go home today."

    Cui'er was startled, and suddenly cried a little harder, "Think about your mother's grace."

    Qin Li took my arm and said softly, "Your Majesty, let's go."

    I nodded slightly, and walked out of the Punishment Department with heavy steps.

    After thinking for a moment, I asked slowly, "Qin Meiren, why do you think there is musk in Wang Guiren's bed?"

    Qin Li hesitated, "Musk is probably related to Chu Meiren again"

    I nodded, "Chu Meiren lost her child, and Wang Guiren lost her life. There is musk in Wang Guiren's palace, just as something happened to Chu Meiren who was pregnant with her child. What is the relationship between these things?"

    Qin Li said slowly, "I don't know, why don't we go to Chu Meiren's palace to see if there is musk, if there is, then we can be sure that Chu Meiren lost her child because of that musk."

    "What Qin Meiren said is reasonable, let's go find Musk first."

    Approaching Chief Li who was waiting at the gate of the Punishment Division, I told him, "Master Li, send Tweet out of the palace, and don't make things difficult for her."

    He seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Ma'am, I'm afraid this is a bit out of order"

    Qin Li said in a cold voice, "Do as your mother tells you. Where did all these words come from!"

    Principal Li hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, beauty Qin, it's really difficult to deal with slaves. After all, Cui'er is the emperor's servant in Xuanning Palace. Because of the empress's instructions, the Department of Punishment has already given her a lot of mercy. If this  After the palace is released, the emperor will ask in the future, how should the old servant explain."

    Qin Li's eyes showed a cold light, and her voice was cold, "Your majesty, I and your empress will take care of it. Mr. Li must be worrying too much!"

    Principal Li didn't dare to say any more, so he ordered people to escort Tweety out of the palace.

    There are too many women locked in the deep palace, it is me, it is Qin Li, and it is Cui Er.

    Walking out of the gate of the Punishment Department, I looked back, and if nothing happened to Hongyue and Yinggu at that time, it would be great.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
