Mengfei Qiqi

Chapter 871 Those Old Events 6
The little cyan snake with an inverted triangular head spit out a bright red snake letter. It snaked along Ye Qiqi's arm and crawled all the way to the shoulder of the maid. Frightened and pale cheeks swept across.

"Don't...don't bite me..." After seeing Xiaoqing, the maid was so frightened that her voice was almost out of tune.

"If you don't want Xiaoqing to bite you, just answer our questions obediently." Ye Qiqi raised her delicate chin slightly and looked at the maid in front of her.

"You...you ask..." The palace lady kept staring at Xiaoqing, afraid that if she didn't pay attention, she would be bitten by the poisonous snake.

"What's your name?" Ye Qiqi thought for a while, and decided to ask some insignificant questions first, to ease the maid's emotions.

"I...I'm ** Tao." The maid replied stammeringly.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

"I... entered the palace when I was 14 years old, and it has been 15 years now." The maid thought about it carefully, and then replied cautiously.

"You have been with the empress dowager??"

"This..." The maid hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.

Xiaoqing spat out the snake letter and "hissed" and rushed towards her face.

"Don't! Don't!! When the servant first entered the palace, she was just a little maid who was in charge of cleaning beside the first emperor, and later... later she went to the side of the empress dowager." The maid only saw a green snake head towards her Flying over, I shivered with fright, and quickly replied.

"The first emperor??" Ye Qiqi frowned, looking at her.

"It's... the father of the current Supreme Emperor." The maid explained tremblingly.

"Then why did you have such a big reaction when you heard about the Nutmeg Jade Man Pill today?" Ye Qiqi asked further, "Do you know the inside story at that time?"

"Today??" The court lady hesitated for a moment, and when she looked at Ye Qiqi again, her lips parted, and she asked uncertainly, "You...you are the emperor??"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ye Qiqi glared at her and said, "I'm asking you something."

"My servant doesn't know anything, this servant doesn't know anything! Your majesty, please let this servant go. The reason my hand is shaking today is because the tea is a bit hot. I didn't do it on purpose, Your Majesty!!" The maid was guessing. After Ye Qiqi's identity, he knelt down on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Ye Qiqi turned her head and glanced at Mo Hanqing who was standing beside her.

Mo Hanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and then she raised her chin towards Ye Qiqi.

Ye Qiqi bit her lip, then said to Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, go!"

"Hiss—!" Xiaoqing spat out the letter, her green body slowly wrapping around the maid's neck.

"Your Majesty... don't..." The court lady only felt a cold touch on her neck, and snake scales slowly slid across her skin.

"Let me ask you, since when did this Cardamom Jade Man Pill spread in the palace??" Ye Qiqi stared fixedly at the maid, and asked without a trace of emotion in her voice.

"Yes... it was after Concubine Yue Gui became pregnant." The maid's face was flushed red, and her voice stammered.
