Chapter 373 The Eavesdropper

Standing in front of Du Qingshu was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old. At this time, the little girl was pale and was panting heavily. She seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat in her ears. She clapped her hands on her chest to relieve her fright. heart of.

Mother Ning looked at the little girl sharply, and scolded mercilessly, "You crazy girl, you run around without any rules. Is this how your parents taught you?"

Du Qingshu hilariously stopped Mother Ning's scolding, and instead helped the little girl talk, "Mom, Pan Xia just came to serve in the yard, and I don't need her to serve me. As long as she finishes her work and wants to go out to play, Do I still blame her for this? You, Panxia is still your grandniece, and you don't treat Panxia any better."

Ning's mother looked serious, "Girl, after the summer, I want to follow the little lady. If she is not steady, how can she help the little lady properly?"

Hearing Mama Ning's righteous words, Du Qingshu was moved in her heart, and she was more and more unwilling to let Mama Ning blame Pan Xia, so she wanted to dismiss Mama Ning, "Mom, Pan Xia is sweating from running, I'm afraid I'm thirsty. Go get her a glass of water and let her take it easy."

Mother Ning still felt distressed as to whether it was her niece or granddaughter, and when she turned around to pour tea, Pan Xia finally regained her breath and lowered her voice anxiously, "Imperial Concubine, I have something very important to tell you. "

Ning's mother frowned, "You little girl, what do you want to report to the imperial concubine? It's not like the family can let you go."

Pan Xia was so anxious that it was the first time that she interrupted Ning's mother unrulyly, "Mom, I really have something important to do."

As she spoke, she looked out frequently, with a look of worry and fear in her expression.

Du Qingshu's heart moved, she waved her hand to stop what Ning's mother wanted to say, and beckoned to Panxia, ​​"Come here, Panxia, ​​what do you want to tell me?"

Pan Xia trotted forward, put her hands to her mouth, and said in a low voice, looking outside as she said, as if she was very afraid of seeing someone coming in from outside, "The servant accidentally overheard that His Highness wanted to force the palace. "

After she finished these words, the big stone that weighed on her heart seemed to be let go, and her obvious expression eased.

Du Qingshu and Ning's mother, who heard her words clearly, were terrified. Du Qingshu grabbed Pan Xia's arms at once, her eyes were sharp and urgent, "What did you just say?"

It was the first time for Pan Xia to see such a serious Du Qingshu. She felt that the look on the princess's face was scary, she opened her mouth, and was about to speak. Watch it, someone needs to pass it on immediately. Pan Xia, you come with me, let's go in and talk for a while."

Du Qingshu took Pan Xia to go for a while, and Mother Ning hurried out and ordered people to guard the courtyard gate, and also sent someone to guard the main room gate. Feeling worried, she took a sewing basket and moved a small brocade stool to the place. At the door, while pretending to be sewing, he looked up at the courtyard door from time to time, and after a while, he would look in the direction of the next time, with worry in his eyes.

A while later, Du Qingshu pulled Pan Xia to her side, her voice was also extremely low, "My good boy, tell me everything you overheard, and don't miss a single word."

Pan Xia had a bitter face, "His Royal Highness and Mr. Wang have talked too much, and this servant did not remember everything."

Du Qingshu was very anxious, but she was afraid that the little girl would forget important things if she urged her, so she could only smile, "It's okay, just tell me what you can remember, I don't blame you if you can't remember."

Only then did Pan Xia heave a sigh of relief, and began to recall what had happened just now, "Just now there was a father-in-law in the palace who came to preach the imperial decree, and the slaves hadn't heard the imperial decree before, so they sneaked out of the back window of the house and wanted to sneak away when no one was prepared. Listen, the father-in-law left, and you, the concubine, also left, and the servant saw that His Highness was going to talk to Mr. Wang, so I wanted to sneak away to avoid being reprimanded, but I didn't expect the servant to squat there for too long. My feet are numb, and I dare not make a sound, Your Highness is too scary, so the slaves simply sat down, and wanted to wait for the numbness to subside before sneaking away, only to hear His Highness talking to Mr. Wang."

Because she was too scared and accidentally heard such secret things, Pan Xia could not remember many things, so she only told Du Qingshu: His Highness bought the guards of the palace gate and wanted to force the palace. Grandpa.

As for the rest, she didn't remember it. She was able to overhear this secret and managed to sneak back without letting Li Yang and Wang Jian know about it.

After Du Qingshu finished listening, she couldn't help touching the little girl's face, "My good boy, you really helped the concubine a lot, and I must reward you well later."

Pan Xia shook her head, "Grandmother said this is what slaves should do, and they should always think about the concubine and ladies."

The kindness in Du Qingshu's eyes became stronger, and he touched her head again, and told her seriously, "Except for telling me about this matter, you can't tell anyone else, even your parents, you know?" ?”

Pan Xia nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, imperial concubine, this servant knows the seriousness and will never tell anyone else."

Du Qingshu nodded with a smile, and asked again, "Pan Xia, then you also heard what His Highness said, when are you going to choose to do it?"

Pan Xia thought hard for a while, then shook her head dejectedly, "I'm sorry, imperial concubine, I didn't remember it, it seems like your highness didn't say it."

Although Du Qingshu was disappointed in her heart, she couldn't force too much on the little girl, "You're tired today too, so you're allowed three days off to go back and rest at home."

Pan Xia nodded obediently, Du Qingshu took her out again, and ordered Mother Ning to send Pan Xia back in person, and when Mother Ning came back, she looked at Du Qingshu with a worried face, "Princess, what that girl Pan Xia said What should I do?"

Du Qingshu had already changed into the clothes she was wearing when she went out, and her expression was no longer the kindness she had just now. She was very cold, with a cold light in her eyes, and said almost gnashing her teeth, "Go, Mom, accompany me back to my mother's house."

This matter cannot wait for a moment, she must tell her father about it immediately, otherwise she is really worried that Li Yang will kill the Du family.

The two got into the carriage and came to the gate of the former Duke's Mansion. Du Qingshu lifted the curtains and saw that the "Duke Lu's Mansion" on the door plaque had become Du's house. Today, it was all Li Yang's fault, scarlet was faintly visible in her eyes, and her hatred became more and more intense.

"Go to the second door."

After getting off the carriage from the second gate, Du Qingshu took Ning's mother straight to find Du Heng.
