An Eight-year-old Princess novel Chapter 433

Before Xia Huanyu could say anything, the empress asked, "Lady Xiang, is this Zhu'er one of your servants in your palace?"

Hearing this, Ning Qian turned around and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground who was trembling with fear. She smiled and said, "he who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick. The maid must work for me. Lord Liu said just now that she is a maid of my palace who cleans the ground. But I don't know why she harmed Princess Qian Ling. "

The empress sneered after she heard her words, "you mean I wronged you, Lady Xiang? Or do you think that no one is behind this maid who poisoned Princess Qian Ling? She did it herself? "

Xia Huanyu frowned, but did not speak. Logically, he was not supposed to interfere in the affairs in the imperial household, but it did not mean that he knew nothing.

Frowning, Ning Qian also said, "I've been wondering how someone could hurt such a lovely and lively child like Princess Qian Ling." While speaking, she turned to look at the maid that was kneeling on the ground. "I'm a little curious as well, your majesty. Where did this maid get the poison powder? Generally speaking, a maid couldn't get that kind of thing. Moreover, the usage of the Xiang Zhu Palace was granted by the Imperial Household Bureau. I don't have any relatives outside the palace, so there is no other thing except the things sent by the emperor and the Imperial Household Bureau. You and your majesty can also check how long it has been since the last time I left the palace. "

With that, Ning Qian paused and set her eyes on the empress. Then she looked around blandly.

The empress snorted coldly at her words, "of course you won't let the people in your palace be found out."

Ning Qian laughed again. "You are right, your highness." While speaking, she took out a pair of earrings and a piece of silver from her sleeve. "A few days ago, I found that the people in the Xiang Zhu Palace seem to have a good relationship with other people in another palace. The eardrop and the silver were found from the body of Zhu'er. I have also said that all my things are from the imperial household department, but this is definitely not belonged to the Xiang Zhu Palace. I don't know where it came from and why it is carried on Zhu'er. Has someone asked Zhu'er to do something? Tell me, where did you get it, Zhu'er? "

Zhu'er trembled with fear at her question. She raised her head and glanced at the empress several times before she said hastily, "I'll say it. I will tell you everything, your highness. it's all up to Ya Nu, your highness. It was Ya Nu who gave me those things, and the poison powder that made Princess Qian Ling sick, that was also given by Ya Nu. Ya Nu also said that as long as I help her majesty solve this problem this time, there will be many chances for me to ascend my status in the future. "

"Nonsense, how can I let people do such a harmful thing?" the empress flashed a little when her eyes fell on the pair of earrings and silver in Ning Qian's hands. She continued, "Moreover, these two small things are not my belongings. It's just some used items from servants. There's nothing strange for them to send them to each other. You can't prove it. "
