Chapter 433 Who Was The Real Culprit (Part One)

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.

Hearing the empress' question, Xia Huanyu turned around and looked at the empress, poker faced. "You'd better ask yourself why the maid in charge of your make-up has something that belongs to the palace of Lady Mei."

The empress kept silent at his words. Seeing that Xia Huanyu looked somewhat unfriendly, she quickly replied to him, "yes, I am so sorry. I was not careful enough. I let something like this happen in my Wei Yang Palace. It's my fault."
