Chapter 522
She gritted her teeth and had no choice but to say, "Xiaohe, besides the tonic, there is one more thing? It's a painting..."

She looked at Xiaohe eagerly, hoping that she could nod her head to confirm.

Mu Huaxian laughed softly, and turned her head to look at Mu Qiuli: "Sister, you have already hinted at Xiaohe like this. As your maid, does she dare not listen to you?"

The emperor gave Mu Qiuli a cold look, and said to Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, you don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth, from now on, you will work with the queen."

In this way, she didn't have to worry about being taught a lesson by Mu Qiuli afterwards, so she dared to tell the truth.

Xiaohe was both pleasantly surprised and frightened, she never expected to get a good chance to go to the empress's side by chance!
She glanced at Mu Qiuli, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess didn't bring anything else besides tonics."

The corners of Mu Huaxian's mouth raised slightly, and she lowered her eyes to look at Mu Qiuli who was kneeling on the ground.

The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously, and stared at Mu Qiuli with sharp eagle eyes: "What else do you want to say?"

Mu Qiuli's head tightened, wishing he could tear Xiaohe's body to pieces!

She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Wanshuang, who was also looking at her, seeing her look over, Gu Wanshuang nodded slightly.

Since Xiaohe's personal evidence is unreliable, the only thing left is physical evidence.

Mu Qiuli bit his lip hard, and said, "Your Majesty, that painting was indeed given to the girl by the princess. I don't know why Xiaohe lied like this, maybe he was bribed..."

Xiaohe hurriedly interrupted Mu Qiuli: "Miss Mu, everything this servant said is true, but you, you asked your servant to help you deceive the emperor yesterday! This servant is cowardly, and it is absolutely impossible to deceive the emperor. !"

The emperor stared at Mu Qiuli closely, if she couldn't produce any other evidence, he would give an order!

At this moment, Mu Qiuli only felt that there was a sharp ax hanging above her head, which might fall down and kill her at any time.

She raised her hand to pinch her thigh, used the pain to calm herself down, and said to the emperor: "Please don't listen to this maid's one-sided words, she must have been bribed!"

Gu Wanshuang also whispered at the side: "Your Majesty, I think it's really hard to convince people just by this maid's words, why don't you see if Miss Mu has other evidence?"

The emperor nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any other evidence?"

Mu Qiuli hesitated for a moment, and said with a look of uncertainty, "Your Majesty, you also said just now that such a technique is very rare, and this painting doesn't look very good. The painting must have been secretly drawn by the princess himself, so the special ink used in the painting must still be in Yangchunxuan!"

On the surface, Mu Qiuli said that he was very uncertain, but in fact he was very sure in his heart, and the evidence could definitely be found in Yangchunxuan.

That thing was put in by Gu Wanshuang himself, absolutely unmistakable.

She glanced at Mu Huaxian who looked calm, and sneered in her heart, let her be proud for a while, and when she finds something, she will wait to die!
The emperor frowned, and looked at Mu Huaxian questioningly.

After all, Yang Chunxuan was searched a few days ago because of the imperial concubine's affairs. If she really went to search again now, no matter whether she found anything or not, it would greatly damage her reputation.

There were many people in the palace, and even if nothing was found, they would make random guesses about her because of two consecutive searches.

Mu Huaxian naturally wanted to get this too, but to her, it didn't matter whether her reputation was good or bad.
