famous concubine

Chapter 98
Huo Ping raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and said, "The two father-in-laws can go down now."

Dongfang Yu thought secretly, the testimony of the two father-in-laws was equivalent to clearing her of the suspicion of poisoning the dishes, but dragging her into another hidden vortex.

She raised her head and stared quietly at the set of expensive imperial bowls and chopsticks on the golden nanmu stone table.

Seeing her expression, Feng Yu also squinted a pair of ecstatic peach blossom eyes, his eyes flickering to scan the things on the nanmu stone table.

Huo Ping glanced at the two of them with unclear meaning, and said in a deep voice again: "Bring the maid's flower letter to the hall."

Dongfang Yu was stunned, and seemed to have no impression of the name Huaxin in his mind.

Yacha soon brought another court lady to the court.

The palace lady walked slowly, walked to Dongfang Yu and stood still, and knelt down stiffly under the half-forced by the Yachai.

Dongfang Yu slightly turned his head and looked over. The maid was wearing the lowest dress in the palace. The hairy and loose hair hanging from the maid's forehead could only faintly see the black gray in the haggard face of the palace lady. It was very numb, and the eyeballs were so dull that they could hardly move, like a puppet that could breathe.

Dongfang Yu frowned very quickly, she didn't seem to recognize who this court lady was?I can't even remember what intersection I had with her?
It's just such a bad complexion, such a bad dress... A flash of inspiration flashed in Dongfang Yu's mind, and he suddenly remembered a place.

Handy room!
This palace lady had a sad face, she must have come from a house with rough and heavy labor.

That's right... When she was still in Fengqi Palace that day, there was a very innocent little maid who accompanied her to pick up fallen flowers in the Garden of Wonders every day.

In just half a month, the heavy labor had crushed a maid who was originally pretty and charming into this inhuman and ghostly appearance. No wonder that day when the queen expelled the maid from the Fengqi Palace and punished her into the handyman's room, the maid would Trembling with fear.

"Hua Xin, now I'm here to ask you, look up, do you still recognize who is next to you?" Guan Zheng seemed to be the most impatient among the three adults, and every time a different witness appeared, They all acted so impatiently.

The palace maid Hua Xin raised her head slowly, and when she saw Dongfang Yu's calm face with a hint of a smile, her dull eyes suddenly brightened.

"Return to your lord." Hua Xin didn't dare to look directly at the three stern-faced senior officials above him. He only raised his head and quickly lowered his head, "This servant knows her, she is the second young lady of the Dongfang Mansion, and this servant once served her a period of time."

"Okay." The person who was annoying the most in the Oriental language spoke, although it was a short word, but his cold and hoarse voice immediately startled Hua Xin, who was kneeling and bowed his head, his shoulders twitched, "Then tell me, when you serve , what she did, what she said."

Dongfang Yu still had a calm and smiling expression on her face, as if the eunuch who was passed on to the palace had nothing to do with her.

Someone glanced at her calm and stunning face, with a flash of hatred in his eyes, and then said coldly, "Dongfangyu, you don't think you don't know this maid?"

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly and looked over, with a mocking smile in the corner of her eyes, Guan Zheng tilted her head a little uncomfortably under her particularly bright and clear eyes.

Hua Xin bit her lower lip, glanced at Dongfang Yu secretly, then glanced at Guan Zheng, who was sitting on top with a tight skirt and a dark face, and said in a low voice: "I remember that in Fengqi Palace, the Oriental girl once said , the Empress specially allowed her to go to the Garden of Rare Treasures, so there was a period of time when the oriental girls would go to the Garden of Rare Treasures every day after breakfast."

Huo Ping glanced at Dongfangyu indifferently, and asked in a deep voice, "What did she do in the Garden of Treasures?"

"The Oriental girl didn't do anything. She went to the Garden of Rare Treasures every morning, and usually first admired the freshly blooming flowers, and then carefully collected some freshly fallen petals."

"Picking up petals?" Guan Zheng didn't seem to intend to hide his eagerness, he glanced at Huo Ping briefly, and immediately asked Hua Xin: "What does she want those fallen petals for?"

Hua Xin thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Ms. Dongfang is a very capable person. The reason why she carefully sorted and collected the fallen flowers is to use those petals to make some beauty creams with different functions."

"Of course, Miss Dongfang didn't plan to use the beauty cream made from falling flowers, because she didn't want others to misunderstand her." Hua Xin seemed to be afraid that the three officials above would misunderstand her, and said anxiously: "That's right. The servant girl also begged her for a long time before she gave some to the servant girl, but those were made purely from fallen flower petals, absolutely nothing else, and the beauty effect is very good.”

"Oh? Oriental language knows how to collect flower petals to make beauty products?" Huo Ping exchanged glances with Xu Li on his left, and said, "Then what does she usually tell you?"

Hua Xin took a quick look at Dongfangyu, then immediately lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "When Dongfang girls are collecting fallen flowers, most of the things they talk to their servants are about flowers, such as what flowers can't be mixed with what flowers. If they are used together, what will happen if they are accidentally mixed, what should be done if they accidentally eat some ingredients that are incompatible with each other, and so on."

"So, the Oriental language has a lot of research on food or plant mutual restraint." Guan Zheng's smooth voice contained a cold sneer.

That kind of laughter gives people the feeling that he has firmly grasped the handle of others and can crucify others at any time.

Dongfangyu listened quietly, a strange emotion gradually filled his heart.

Huo Ping looked at Huaxin, and continued to ask: "Did you take any notes on the knowledge spoken in the Oriental language?"

"My lord, slaves, slaves are illiterate."

From right to left, when Guan Zheng, Huo Ping, and Xu Li heard this, they all showed different expressions on their faces. Some people showed a faint regret; Measuring eyes.

Regardless of what the three officials were thinking, Feng Yu frowned deeply for Hua Xin's words.

"Then how did you keep in mind the things taught by the Oriental language?" Guan Zheng asked quickly, hoping Huaxin could provide some tangible evidence.

However, Hua Xin buried her head very low, as if she didn't dare to meet his gaze, and even didn't dare to face the expression on his face, and whispered: "Your servant, my servant is just looking at those flowers, while imagining If you misuse Xiangke's food, you will end up... remember this."

Thinking of the man's confession, Guan Zheng frowned, his eyes coldly passed over Hua Xin's head, and he snorted coldly: It's really useless.

Huo Ping waved his hand, and said indifferently to Hua Xin: "Okay, you can go down now."
