Empress, she wins by eating melons and laying down in the harem

Chapter 496
Seeing that the princess had misunderstood, Yu Dai quickly explained.

"There are many concubines like this in the palace, all sent by others."

Liu Qiqi thinks about it too, how many people give women to the superiors for the sake of glory and wealth.

"It's a poor man."

"Slaves don't feel pitiful. They are well-clothed and well-fed in the palace. Some people will never have such good luck in their lifetime." Chunbi said.

Liu Qiqi said, "What you said seems to make sense."

"There are many people out there who can't get enough to eat or starve to death. Those who can be sent to the palace should be those who are not favored at home. This place can at least have a quiet place to live!" Chunbi added. .

Liu Qiqi stopped slightly, "You know a lot."

"The servant girl also listened to Mi Li's words."

"Mi Li is about to leave the palace, right?"

"A few days ago, her lover gave her a lot of snacks, and even showed it off to the slaves."

Liu Qiqi smiled, "You can do it too."

Chunbi was unhappy, and Liu Qiqi quickly changed her words, "I know what you're thinking, I'm just talking, there's no other meaning."

Several people walked towards the East Palace while talking. Seeing that they were approaching the East Palace, they didn't pay attention. A rash little maid rushed out and hit the ground.

Fortunately, Yu Dai had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stood in front of Liu Qiqi, otherwise, she would have collided with Liu Qiqi.

The little maid saw that she had bumped into someone, she hugged the small porcelain jar tightly, and apologized in a flustered manner, "Damn it, damn it, damn it slave!"

"You really deserve to die. Offending the princess is a capital offense!" Yu Dai snapped.

When the little maid heard the crown princess, she raised her head and glanced, her face changed suddenly, and she knelt tremblingly on the ground.

Liu Qiqi saw that this little palace lady treasured that jar very much.

It looked like a wine jar, and it didn't spill a single drop after the collision just now. Obviously, this jar has a lot to offer.

"Prince servant, servant deserves to die, I beg the princess to spare her life!"

"Which palace are you from?" Liu Qiqi asked.

"The servant is working in Xinzheku." The little maid said.

Liu Qiqi glanced at Yu Dai, "Forget it, the little palace maid didn't mean it either, let's forget it!"

"Yes." Yu Dai responded.

Liu Qiqi glanced at Yu Dai and left quickly.

Chunbi, Qingdai, and Zhou Yan followed the princess and left.

Yu Dai waited for the princess to go far away, and scolded the ignorant little maid, "You are lucky today, if you meet the princess, if it is another master, your life will be gone long ago!"

"My servant is guilty, and my servant thanked the Crown Princess for not killing me." The little palace maid kowtowed to admit her mistake, but she was very careful protecting the jar in her arms.

"Okay, let's go!" Yu Dai said, and the little maid got up and trotted away.

Yu Dai saw the direction in which the little maid was leaving, and someone was chasing her, so she walked quickly towards the princess.

Back to the East Palace.

When Liu Qiqi came back, she found something white on her hand.

She looked at her hands, she didn't touch anything, what's going on?

"Princess, your hand?" Chunbi said.

Liu Qiqi twisted it twice with her fingers, and it felt like an animal's shed skin.

"Qingdai, do you have a look at this?"

Qing Dai stepped forward and took a closer look, "This should be snake skin, but why is it white?"

"If it really shed its skin, it might be a white snake."

"White brocade snake?"

"The white elaphe is a white variant of the mouse snake, which is not the same as the albino mouse snake. It is the difference in the arrangement of skin patterns from common snakes of the same species or pure albino individuals in the absence of melanin."

Liu Qiqi thinks that the white snake is non-venomous, has a docile personality, is strong and powerful, and is as thick as an arm in adulthood, with a body length of more than 2 meters.

The white snake likes to eat frogs, and indirectly also eats birds and rodents, and sometimes snakes.

How could this kind of snake appear in the palace?

The shedding of the white snake's skin shows that the white snake has been here for a long time, thinking that she just climbed a tree, could it be that the white snake is moving around there?
Thinking in her heart, she told Yu Dai to visit the big tree she had just been to.

Yu Dai left quickly.

After about a stick of incense, Yu Dai came back and told the news she had just received.

"Crown princess, some court ladies have seen white things crawling in the courtyard where the concubines live. It should be the white brocade snake that the princess said."

"Maybe that concubine has special hobbies!" Liu Qiqi thought, since it is not poisonous, it should be a pet kept in idleness.

Several people did not take this matter seriously.

evening.

Chun Bi came back from outside with red eyes.

When Liu Qiqi saw her choking, she suddenly felt amused.

"Why are you crying?"

Chunbi wiped away tears and said, "Crown Princess, the rice dumpling is dead!"

The notebook in Liu Qiqi's hand fell to the ground, "What did you say?"

"My servant went to the imperial dining room, and heard the people in the imperial dining room discussing that rice dumpling was reprimanded by the mother of the imperial dining room. I couldn't figure it out, and hanged myself in the room." Chunbi choked up and said, "Crown princess, Mi Jiao is not someone who can't take it easy, there must be something strange about her death."

"No one cares about this?" Liu Qiqi asked.

"Mi Jiao is just a little palace maid, no one took her death seriously and just threw her body out of the palace." Chunbi couldn't stop crying when she said this.

Liu Qiqi felt that Mi Jiao's death was strange, and then thought that what Chunbi said was right, there are so many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace, they have no background, they die as soon as they die, no one takes it seriously.

Chunbi knelt on the ground with a bang, "Crown Princess, I beg you to uphold justice for Mi Dumpling."

"Nonsense!" Yu Dai got angry and scolded Chunbi.

Chunbi also realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she didn't say anything else.

Liu Qiqi continued to read the script in her hand, but the script could no longer attract her attention.

Simply put down the storybook and start watering the flowers.

Simple movements, repeated many times, like a machine, let Liu Qiqi's brain get a better buffer.

She thought a lot about it.

The death of Rice Dumpling was certainly suspicious, but it had nothing to do with Donggong, and Chunbi couldn't get involved just because of a few words.

There are too many difficult things for the prince now, so she has to stick to the prince's side first.

Soon she will focus on the emperor being poisoned again.

I don't know if Crazy Yao is really powerful, I can see the truth.

I also thought of something that even the imperial doctor was not sure about. Obviously someone was doing things very confidentially.

Thinking, thinking, Liu Qiqi's heart is more complicated.

There are not many people in the palace, and there is no suspense in the battle for the reserve position. What's going on with these things in the palace?

I thought of the concubine named Han Xin I met today.

At first she was really attracted by her simplicity. When she repeatedly said 'princess', Liu Qiqi thought that there were a few simple people in the palace.

Thinking about it, there are a lot of things that these women in the harem do in order to compete for favor.

Just as he was thinking, a system voice came, 【Crazy Yao found out. 】

Liu Qiqi paused the hand holding the water ladle, [Who is it? 】

System, [a concubine. 】

Liu Qiqi thought of the concubine she met today, 【Han Xin? 】

System, 【It's not Han Xin, it's a concubine named Ma Yan. 】

Liu Qiqi couldn't figure it out, 【How could a concubine poison the emperor? 】

System, [Ma Yan has some skills. When she went to the kitchen to get the meal, while others were not paying attention, she sneaked close to the ingredients for the emperor's meal, and then poisoned it. What's more, the poison was not poisonous at all, and it was the same as the medicine the emperor took. Xiangke. 】

Liu Qiqi, [Can a concubine still have this ability? 】

System, [Unfortunately, Ma Yan died when the prince rushed over. 】

Liu Qiqi carefully deliberated on these important information, and asked, 【Is Mi Jiao's death related to this? 】

System, [Who is Rice Dumpling? 】

Liu Qiqi, [a rough envoy maid in the imperial dining room. ] After finishing speaking, Liu Qiqi felt that Mi Jiao should have discovered something before being silenced.

System, [I don't know. 】

Liu Qiqi always felt that there was a connection between them, but she couldn't say anything specifically.
