Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 335
Mei Xiang thought about it seriously, and then shook her head solemnly, "The maid and Momo who served the queen and the little princess that day did things step by step, meticulous, without any abnormality. The queen's life is very regular, and the daily Meals are almost fixed. The little princess has been hugged by the nanny in the morning, and the slaves can't tell the difference."

After hearing Mei Xiang's words, Xueshu thought for a while and said, "Then, who has come and gone in Ziyun Palace recently? For example, the lady from outside is going to pay her respects to grandma, and the maids of Ziyun Palace are going out to meet her family, etc."

Mei Xiang bit her lip and thought for a while, "This month Enzhun came home to visit only Zhou Meme and Wu Meme. They were ordered to work outside by the queen the next day after they came back, and they didn't have a chance to get close to the little princess."

Xueshu sat up straight when she heard that two of them had gone home to visit relatives, "When did they return to the palace?"

"I returned to the palace just one day before the little princess' accident."

Xue Shu's eyes shrank when she heard this, it was a coincidence that something happened to Meng Yao after they went home to visit relatives and returned to the palace.

"It can't be them." Seeing Xue Shu's condensed breath instantly, Mei Xiang knew that the Crown Princess might suspect them, and she hastily denied it.

"Why do you say that?"

"Early the next morning, after returning to the palace, the two Memos were sent out again by the empress. Zhou Memo went to Yanzhifang in the capital to buy phoenix flower head oil for the empress; and Wu Memo was sent directly to Lie In the palace, the ex-concubine Lie had asked the queen for a marriage order for Miss Cheng and Prince Yan, and the queen agreed. On that day, the empress sent Wu Memo to the Lie Palace to announce the decree. Wu Memo hadn't returned yet. Something happened to the little princess."

Xueshu fell silent when she heard that.

"Has grandma always used Impatiens flower head oil?" Xue Shu suddenly remembered that Mu Rongyan once said that he used Impatiens flower fragrance powder. Although the smell is really good, it is too strong, and grandma would like it.But she ordered Zhou Moyao to buy it outside the palace, which means that it was not available in the palace before, and grandma didn't often use it before.

"No, it was the Impatiens scented powder recommended by the concubine Murong to the Empress some time ago. The Queen thought the powder was too strong, so she fell in love with the Impatiens-flavored hair oil. She has been using it for a while. The Empress The empress is kind, and she heard that the servants in the palace praised the taste, so she gave half of it to the maids of Ziyun Palace. The remaining half bottle is now used up, and the empress empress is too embarrassed to ask for it from the side concubine Murong, so she ordered Zhou Meme looked for it in various expensive rouge workshops in the capital, but unexpectedly found it. Zhou Meme reported the matter to the empress after she returned to the palace that day, and the empress was delighted, and immediately ordered her to go out of the palace to buy it. "

"Zhou Momo..." Xueshu murmured, obviously she had no impression of this person, but Zhou Momo's family background information was still fresh in her memory, Zhou Memo was over forty, and her husband's family was in the grain business Yes, people are honest and responsible, but they are a bit addicted to gambling.However, in short, it is still a small rich family.There is only one son under his knees, and he is engaged to be married, and he will marry a bride after autumn.She has been serving the queen for 20 years, and she is a rare old man in Ziyun Palace who is not fading away.

Ordinarily, she shouldn't be suspicious, but Xueshu always felt that something was wrong, maybe the impatience oil was involved in Mu Rongyan, which made her feel so slightly uneasy.

"Have you been in contact with Mu Rongyan on weekdays?" As she said, Xue Shu looked at Mei Xiang.

Mei Xiang frowned in thought, then shook her head, "Usually the Empress doesn't like to see Mu Rongyan very much, she also knows how to pay her respects, and she will leave without stopping, so the people in Ziyun Palace are also indifferent to her... By the way Remember, Mu Rongyan was banned in Cuihua Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, Zhou Memo once said in front of the Empress that Mu Rongyan was a talented woman, and she copied the scriptures, and the words she wrote were really amazing. Okay...then, the Empress Empress was moved, and she took it over to read, and it was indeed a good handwriting. At that time, the servant remembered that the Empress Empress also gave Mu Rongyan a pot of bird's nest porridge, but she did not lift her confinement."

Hearing this, Xue Shu's eyes flashed, she had a complete confidence in her heart, but she didn't show anything on the surface, she just said faintly to Mei Xiang, "Let's stop here today, we have Lao Meixiang. In the future, grandma and Meng Yao will return to each other. I have to rely on Mei Xiang to take care of her more."

When Mei Xiang heard this, she couldn't stand it, and hurriedly knelt down in fear, "His Royal Highness is really going to kill this servant."

Xueshu smiled lightly and said nothing, but cast a look at Dong'er. Dong'er understood, and put a money bag in Meixiang's hand.Mei Xiang's complexion changed, and she said nothing, "His Royal Highness, the servant should listen to the summons of the Crown Princess, this bounty is absolutely unacceptable to the servant. The servant is alone, and there is no need for the money."

"Silly girl, you're going to get married in the future! Don't be too polite, just take it!"

When Mei Xiang heard this, her face suddenly darkened, "His Royal Highness, slaves and maids will never marry."

"Why don't you marry? A woman's life is short, and the good times are only a few years. It's rare that someone is still waiting for you infatuatedly. Your loyalty to grandma doesn't just have to be by her side and serve her. it is good."

As soon as Xue Shu finished speaking, Mei Xiang's face turned pale.How could the princess know?
The husband-in-law that the empress once chose for her, Ma Zan, the son-in-law of the servant of the Ministry of punishment, fell in love with her at first sight after she refused to marry her, and then he became like a demon, and wanted to enter the palace as a guard, just in order to see her once in a while .But Mei Xiang rejected her desperately at the beginning, but now although she feels her sincerity, she can't open her mouth to the queen no matter what.Several times blocked by Ma Zan on the palace wall, Mei Xiang cruelly rejected him several times, but the more that muddy person rejected him, the more vigorous he was, now Mei Xiang's heart was in turmoil, she was afraid of seeing him, but couldn't help it want to see him.This time, even the Empress Dowager didn't know, how could the Crown Princess...

Seeming to see what Mei Xiang was thinking, Xue Shu smiled faintly, "Unfortunately, Ma Zan is working under Yan Po, that kid is very naughty, and he will do anything to get you. Knowing that Yan Po and I When I got close, I begged him over and over again to intercede with me, wanting me to persuade you. Yan Po was so entangled by him that he impatiently revealed a few words to me. Now if you still have the heart, I will play Grandma Ming made it possible for you."

Mei Xiang heard it, but didn't speak, just bit her lip and sobbed, Xue Shu understood everything.

Dong'er saw the opportunity and stuffed the purse into Mei Xiang's hand, "Sister Mei Xiang gets married someday, don't forget us sisters in the palace!"

"Don't be envious, in two years, I will definitely marry you off." Hearing Dong'er's envious tone, Xueshu turned her head to look at her and said with a smile.

Dong'er lowered her head in shame, but there was a smile on her face.

Mei Xiang gave Xue Shu three loud nods, "It's all up to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"Okay, I'll take the time to talk to grandma about this first, so that she can prepare herself. You've been serving her for so many years, and she might be reluctant."
