Chapter Seventeen: Luring the Snake out of its Hole

Early in the morning, Mei Xiang and Lan Zhu prepared toiletries and came in to serve them.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Mei Xiang discovered that Su Qiyu had changed into a palace maid's dress that was exactly the same as theirs.

According to the emperor's order, although Princess Qiyu was demoted to a slave status, she was of noble birth and did not have to be equal to the palace maids in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Because of this special right, most of the maids in the Ye Courtyard were resentful and often bullied their master and servant.

Su Qiyu was wearing a palace maid's outfit. She looked at the size just right. She tied up her hair slightly and pinned a palace flower on it. She looked like a palace maid in this outfit.

"Shh." Su Qiyu put her index finger to her lips and whispered: "Keep your voice down, others will hear you later."

Mei Xiang and Lan Zhu were very clever. They approached Su Qiyu carefully and listened.

Su Qiyu handed a hairpin to the two of them, and Mei Xiang could see the fishiness of the hairpin at a glance. "Princess, isn't this Songzhi's hairpin?"

The hairpins of the palace maids in each palace are different, and the hairpins also represent the rank. You can probably know the rank of the palace maid by looking at the color and style of the hairpins. Although the hairpins of the palace maids in the courtyard are all the same, they all have different hairpins.

Engraved with the names of the ladies-in-waiting.

"Shh, you damn girl, keep your voice down." Su Qiyu scolded her anxiously. After Shangguan Rui left last night, she picked up this hairpin outside the house. After a while, Ye Jinmo came. It was not difficult to guess that it was Songzhi.

The news was leaked, but Songzhi was clearly condemned by the emperor, but she still stayed in Ye Courtyard. There was only one reason, and that was that someone rescued her, and the person who rescued her was an enemy, not a friend.

Who could be trying to harm her? The power of this person who could save a dead person from Ye Jinmo should not be underestimated. Therefore, since she was in the palace, she had to take more precautions and find out the person behind the scenes who wanted to harm her.

"I'm just trying on some clothes. We're going to put on a good show tonight."

Su Qiyu hinted at the two of them with her eyes. Mei Xiang understood and exclaimed loudly and deliberately: "Princess, do you really want to leave? Do you want to leave us?"

Lanzhu also joined in. "Yes, princess, are you really going to elope with General Shangguan without us?"

Su Qiyu secretly smiled, these two girls were quite clever, and the sneaky figure outside the house should be reporting the news soon.

Hanxiang Hall.

"Are you telling the truth?" Xiang Fei stared at Songzhi kneeling under the hall displeasedly, her eyes shining with sharp light.

Songzhi kowtowed again and said in fear: "Everything my slave said is true. I saw with my own eyes that Su Qiyu borrowed a set of palace maid clothes to change into. I also heard with my own ears that Su Qiyu said that she was going to elope with the rebel Shangguan Rui at midnight tonight."

She said with a proud smile, as if she was about to achieve great success, and said confidently: "If the empress tells the emperor this news, the emperor will definitely be very happy. When the time comes..."

"Okay, I know, let's go down!" Xiang Fei interrupted her. She didn't like someone teaching her what to do.

Songzhi then retreated, and Wanxia stood up and said doubtfully: "Empress, this Su Qiyu is too bold. She just had a private meeting with her lover last night, and she is thinking of elopement tonight. She is really busy!"

Xiang Fei nodded, thinking that she would be angry if she mentioned what happened last night, so she could take revenge tonight.

A charming smile appeared on her pretty lips. "She escaped by chance last night and made the emperor angry with me. This account should be settled carefully. Go and send someone to inform the emperor that Su Qiyu and Shangguan will be together tonight

Rui will elope and ask the emperor to make preparations in advance."
