Pick up a princess

Chapter 197 True and False (20)

"Where did the princess go? Let this servant worry..." Cai'er was the most calm, and quickly called the maid to bring hot water to clean Shen Qing up. Seeing that there was no injury on Shen Qing, she felt relieved. Scanning the palace maid following behind Shen Qing, a gleam flashed in her eyes.

"Princess, who is this court lady?"

Shen Qing shrugged, raised her chin slightly and said, "It's up to her to say it herself..."

Under Cai'er's and Shen Qing's piercing gazes, the restless palace lady finally spoke out the ins and outs of the matter with trepidation.

It turned out that she was arranged to stay behind the rockery on purpose, waiting for Shen Qing to appear and then pretending to see Shen Qing kill with her own eyes, waiting for the opportunity to attract the guards. As for the bloodstains and embroidered shoes, they were placed there on purpose, just to Create the illusion of a dead person...

Shen Qing almost jumped out of her wits when she heard that, she hadn't been in the palace for too long, she asked herself that she hadn't offended anyone, that she designed her like this, she was completely trying to put her to death!

"Who sent you? Why did you want to harm the Crown Princess?" Cai'er asked coldly as she stared at the shivering palace maid with her brows furrowed.

"Servant..." The maid raised her head hesitantly, turned her gaze to Shen Qing, and said beggingly: "Servant dare not say..."

"Even if we let you go back now, you will end up in a dead end. Why don't you confess and be lenient. In the future, you don't have to worry about the safety of you or your relatives..." Shen Qing gave full play to her negotiating eloquence and tried her best to look amiable.

Although she misses the flat people very much in her heart!
She was just pretending to be sick, those people really thought she was a sick cat with no defense against it!
"Yes...it's Concubine Min..." The palace maid told the truth with a trembling voice, which made Shen Qing and Cai'er startled.Concubine Min is quite favored by Emperor Ming, she is pampered but not arrogant, she treats others kindly, Shen Qing can't figure out why she wants to harm herself!
What's more, she and Concubine Min have met several times, and they all said that people's eyes can tell everything, but she didn't see jealousy or desire for power from Concubine Min's eyes!

And her daughter Le Ning is also very cute and innocent...

Shen Qing and Cai'er looked at each other, with doubts written in their eyes, finally Shen Qing walked up to the trembling maid and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her: "Since you have confessed everything, everything will be fine. Go down, drink a cup of hot tea to relieve the shock..."

Several court ladies took her down, Shen Qing watched her disappear, Fang sighed and asked quietly: "Cai'er, what do you think? Is it really Concubine Min who wants to harm me?"
