Chapter 33 Report
Finally, Gu Xiyue ushered in a breakthrough. One day, a teenage maid came to report her.

I saw that she was dressed in plain clothes and looked like a fourth-class maid, and she saluted Gu Xiyue.

"Princess, this servant wants to report someone."

The servant girl clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes were tangled, obviously she was very tangled about whether to report that person.

"Oh? Who?"

I only heard the servant girl say, "It's Qing'er who lives in the same room with the servant girl. She has been on good terms with the servant girl on weekdays, but recently she has alienated the servant girl for some reason."

"The servant saw that he was being weird recently, so she observed her carefully. I didn't expect her to communicate with people frequently."

Gu Xiyue cheered up and asked, "Are you sure she didn't correspond with her family?"

"impossible!"

The servant girl added, "She dislikes the poor and loves the rich because she voluntarily enters the mansion. She beats and scolds her slaves and maids on weekdays. She fantasizes about flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix every day. How can she communicate with her family?"

"She complains every day that her family is poor and cannot help her."

From the mouth of this maid, it can be known that the so-called Qing'er is a bitter child who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and even bullies her often.

"Recently, Qing'er likes to dress up all the time, and even bought a lot of expensive jewelry. I think she must have done something bad."

Obviously this servant girl is not good at trouble, otherwise she wouldn't come to report that Qing'er.

Gu Xiyue asked, "Didn't you peep who she was communicating with?"

The servant girl nodded, "Your maidservant can read, and Qing'er has always called her master."

Hearing this, Gu Xiyue sneered and said, "One slave does not serve two masters, obviously this master is neither my concubine nor my lord."

It seemed that the mouse had been caught, so Gu Xiyue hurriedly ordered to the butler, "I think this is Qing'er, you go to the prince and borrow two secret guards to investigate."

"Yes, the slave will do it now."

Here Gu Xiyue looked at the maid and said, "You have done a good job. But you have to be clear, you can't tell others about this matter, ten taels of silver, this princess will ask the butler to give it to you."

"No!"

The servant girl excitedly said, "I don't want any money, I just hope that the princess will let the servant's father see the imperial physician."

"The slave girl's father fell ill and spent all the savings in the family. The doctors outside said it was hopeless. The slave girl had to put the opportunity on the imperial physician."

This maid's filial piety surprised Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue asked, "You reported this Qing'er only for your father?"

At this time, the servant girl was already in tears, "The slave girl's mother died of childbirth in the early years. These years, the father is unwilling to remarry, so there is only one daughter, the slave girl, and she has devoted herself to raising the slave girl since she was a child."

"Now that he is ill, how can this slave ignore him? Even if there is a glimmer of hope, this slave will never give up!"

Gu Xiyue can't see deception from her eyes, and it is true that ancient people valued the word filial piety.

"What's your name?"

The servant girl wiped away her tears and replied, "My maidservant's name is Dai Zhu. The maidservant was born that year, and the bamboo in front of the house grows well."

"The servant's father hopes that the servant can survive without his mother, just like the bamboo in front of the door."

Gu Xiyue nodded, "Okay, you will bring your father into the mansion tomorrow, and my princess will ask the imperial doctor to diagnose him. If the imperial doctor is helpless, this princess will save him personally."

"Thank you princess!"

A few days ago, the prince was seriously ill, and even the imperial physician was helpless. Later, the prince turned the crisis into safety because of the princess.

This matter is no secret in the mansion.

Now that Dai Zhu heard that Gu Xiyue was going to do it herself, she was naturally very happy.

"From now on, you will follow Su Tao to serve this princess, and be promoted to a second-class maid, and follow Su Tao to do things well, and be smarter in everything."

"My concubine treats people kindly, but she is not a fool. If you have ambiguity, I will definitely not give you good fruit."

It is more precious than ten taels of silver to be promoted from a fourth-class maid to a second-class maid.

Dai Zhu was dizzy from being hit by the pie, and came back to his senses and kowtowed, "I thank the princess for her kindness, and I will definitely repay the princess like a cow and a horse in the future."

Su Tao stepped forward to help her up, "If you follow me and study hard, you will naturally have the opportunity to repay the princess."

"Yes, sister Su Tao."

The butler went to Ye Wushang's place and borrowed two hidden guards to watch Qing'er, and soon found out that something was wrong with Qing'er.

The dark guard waited for Qing'er to deliver the letter, intending to follow the letter to find out who the person on the street with Qing'er was.

Then she was tied up again immediately, and the letters she hid were placed in front of Gu Xiyue one by one.

Gu Xiyue followed the vine and found several other nails, and finally these nails were all tied in front of her.

"Did our palace treat you badly?"

These people were so frightened that they trembled and dared not speak, Gu Xiyue stepped forward and stared at them closely.

"Princess, please forgive me. I was only deceived by lard, and I will never dare again."

The first one to speak was Qing'er, she was indeed quite pretty, with a thin gold hairpin on her head, she looked different from ordinary fourth-class maids.

Isn't this just telling the people around her that she has a problem?No wonder it was discovered by Daizhu.

Gu Xiyue stood in front of her and asked, "Because I was deceived by lard, can I sell the owner for glory?"

Hearing this, Qing'er was so frightened that she shed tears, but she couldn't say a word.

Gu Xiyue coldly ordered to the housekeeper, "Except for Qing'er, the others were all beaten to death with sticks to make an example."

"correct."

She cast her eyes on Qing'er and said indifferently, "Let her watch the torture carefully, what is a traitor seeking glory?"

At this time, Qing'er is still useful and cannot be killed, so Gu Xiyue saves her dog's life for the time being.

"Yes."

Several people were beaten to a bloody mess in front of Qing'er, which frightened Qing'er half to death, for fear that he would be the next person to be beaten to death with a random stick.

Seeing Qing'er's dull eyes, the housekeeper couldn't help but sneered, "I'm scared now, why don't you think about what will happen when you sell the master with money?"

Hearing this, Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the butler's robe to beg for mercy, "The butler saved the servant, the servant really dare not, never dare again, please ask the princess to spare the servant."

"Forgive you?"

The housekeeper sneered, "Just wait."

Next, the dark guard followed the letter and quickly found out where the correspondent was.

At this time, the results of the investigation also appeared on Ye Wushang's desk.

Gu Xiyue sat aside and asked, "Does the lord know who it is?"

Ye Wushang nodded solemnly, "The person who corresponded with that lowly servant girl is from the queen's natal family."

"The queen's family?"

Gu Xiyue frowned, "That will be difficult."

The Queen's status has been stable these years, even if Emperor Ye dotes on Concubine Miao, the Queen's status has never been shaken.

After the emperor's abolishment, the former dynasty must be shaken, and there are too many things involved.

Even if Ye Wushang reported to Emperor Ye, there was no way to cause substantial harm to the queen, just like what happened to Ye Jingyu last time.

Gu Xiyue looked at Ye Wushang and said her guess, "The incident of Guiling last time came from the Imperial Hospital, obviously the person behind it must be the queen."

Ye Wushang nodded, "What you said is true, there must be the queen's handwriting behind it, and it seems that there are many people who regard this king as a thorn in their side."
