Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 75
Ling Xihan's eyelids trembled, and he thought, Ruoxue, a girl who usually looks impatient, said this without leaking anything.First of all, mentioning the queen, invisibly put pressure on the father.Bringing up her dead mother again reminded her father and king of guilt towards her mother.A love in my heart, coupled with a wife who died young, is much more important than Zisu.Anyone with a discerning eye would know why Zisu was favored at a glance. Now that Ruoxue said this, the father thought that she was somewhat similar to the queen, so he should calm down.

Sure enough, the status of Queen and Princess Heping in King Zhongyi's heart is not low, especially the Queen.Compared with these two people, Zi Su seemed insignificant.

So he looked at Zisu with a cold face again, "This king will give you another chance, did you put the things in this purse?"

Hearing his voice was a little cold, Zisu was shocked in her heart, but even more resentful and stubborn on her face.After a while, she lowered her head with a bitter and sad voice.

"Since the prince believes that the concubine murdered the third lady, it is difficult for the concubine to change the prince's opinion even if she speaks out. So, what else can the concubine tell?"

"You—" King Zhongyi turned livid with anger, "Why did you do this?"

"Why? Hehehe..." Zisu smiled softly, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.She looked at King Zhongyi with despair and sadness in her eyes, full of deep resentment.Then he looked at Ling Xihan with hatred in his eyes, and said ruthlessly: "There is no reason, I just don't like her, I just hate her. She just relies on her good background, why is she so rampant? Your lord I don’t know, the most extensive business in Lan Mansion is spices. When I was working as a maid in Lan Mansion, I learned a lot from it, so..."

"Zisu!" Before Zisu finished speaking, she heard Aunt Lan suddenly scold, murderous look and warning flashed in her eyes.

Zi Su trembled, and hurriedly lowered her head, it seemed that she was threatened by Aunt Lan and had to compromise.

"It was done by the concubine, and it was all done by the concubine. Since the prince already knows, the concubine has nothing to say, so I will die to repay the prince's kindness." She looked up at King Zhongyi with love in her eyes, and then pulled out her hand. The red gold inlaid tourmaline hairpin on the lower head was pierced towards the heart.

"Ah—" Everyone in the hall was stunned by this sudden scene, and they all exclaimed.

"No, Miss." At the critical moment, a pink-blue figure rushed over from the doorway, blood-colored.At the same time, King Zhongyi passed by quickly, only to hear a clang, and the hairpin fell to the ground.

When everyone came back to their senses, they saw King Zhongyi holding Zisu's hand tightly, scolding with anger on his face.

"What are you doing?"

"My lord." Zisu threw herself into his arms, weeping, her shoulders trembling. "Don't you believe in the concubine's body? Why bother to save the concubine's body? The concubine's life is cheap, so it's better to die here, so as not to hinder people's eyes."

"Miss." The maid who jumped at Zisu just now stood up, covering her injured arm, with distress and anger on her face. "Miss, it's already at this time, why don't you speak out? You pleaded guilty in such a reckless manner, have you ever thought about your parents?"

"Zhilan, shut up!" Zisu yelled in a low voice, but her eyes were full of sadness and resentment, obviously there was something else hidden about this matter.

Over there, Aunt Lan was relieved to see Zisu committing suicide, but she didn't expect Zhilan to run out of nowhere and save Zisu.She also said something like that, which really made her angry and impatient.In particular, the prince looked at her more and more coldly, which made her tremble even more.Your lord, do you know what this is?
"Zhilan, what did you just say?" Ling Xihan looked at Zhilan with a sullen face, his voice was cold.

"Slave..." Zhilan was about to say something, but when she caught Zisu's gaze, she bit her lip unwillingly and said in a muffled voice, "No... nothing, nothing." The more she denied it, the more suspicious she seemed.

"Presumptuous!" Ling Xihan suddenly scolded, "Bold girl, my father is on trial, and you ran out in such a panic without saying anything about the reason. Where is your palace, can you be wild?" Two days later, no woman in the palace had seen Ling Xihan speak so harshly again.I couldn't help feeling panicked, I lowered my head and dared not speak.

Zhilan was scolded by Ling Xihan, her face turned pale with fright, her lips squirmed, and her eyes looked panic-stricken.

"Miss San." Seeing her maid being scolded by Ling Xihan, Zisu anxiously begged for mercy. "Miss San, Zhilan didn't do it on purpose, please don't blame her." Turning around, she reprimanded Zhilan: "I really don't understand the rules, so I still don't back down." His eyes glanced at the wound on Zhilan's arm, and worries and emotions flashed in his eyes. guilt.This scene happened to fall into King Zhongyi's eyes again.He felt more pity for Zisu in his heart, and he really cared for his maid just like her.

"Miss..." Zhilan's eyes were red, and she looked at Zisu who was begging for her with a moved face.Then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly knelt down in front of King Zhongyi.

"My lord, this matter was not done by the young lady. Your lord, you are very aware of the details, and you must make the decision for the young lady."

"Zhilan!" Zisu narrowed her eyes and scolded angrily.The flash of pain and forbearance in his eyes fell into the eyes of King Zhongyi, and he became even more suspicious.

"Tell me, who put those dirty things in this purse? You said it wasn't Aunt Zi, so could it be you?"

"My lord." Zisu exclaimed, fear and nervousness flashed in her eyes.She clutched King Zhongyi's collar tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "My lord, it's all my fault. Zhilan doesn't know anything about it. Please don't take your anger out on her." He was supported in time.

"What are you doing? This king just asked her to tell the truth, and didn't really do anything to her."

Zi Su bit her lip, but stopped talking.Aunt Lan couldn't sit still anymore, her face was gradually pale, her pupils were full of panic, and the handkerchief in her hand was already twisted by her.

Ling Xihan looked at it coldly, and said to Zhilan: "From what you said just now, it seems that you know something hidden?"

Zhilan looked at Ling Xihan, then at Zisu, seeing that she was just shaking her head in tears, she was even more upset, although she didn't care about other things, she kowtowed directly to King Zhongyi.

"My lord, our lady was persecuted."

"Pa—" the white jade cup in Aunt Lan's hand fell to the ground suddenly and shattered into pieces.The hot tea mixed with the fine Junshan silver needles was sprinkled all over the floor, and the water droplets fell on the hem of her water shadow red densely woven gold thread acacia flower skirt, and the jade beads were round on the fine silk.The morning light shines in, like a green light flickering.However, what didn't match it was her pale face at the moment.

Seeing this scene, what else do you not understand?King Zhongyi's expression darkened immediately.

"Lan Suxin!"
