Princess Ping accidentally had her skirt stained by a palace maid. Princess Ping is the Lion of the East, but today's Princess Ping is very tolerant.
The palace maid didn't know why this happened. Her wrist seemed to have been pricked by a needle just now.
She suddenly turned her eyes to look at Mu Lingwei, and saw that her eyes were full of shock and she looked completely unaware.
The palace maid felt that she was being squeezed, and then the soup she was about to throw at the Empress Dowager suddenly turned around and was poured towards Mrs. Shen.
But she had no evidence to prove that Princess Anyang squeezed her, because there were many ladies and ladies surrounding Mrs. Shen, and everyone was somewhat affected and quickly moved away.
The worst one is Mrs. Shen.
Make sure the soup is not too hot, because scalding the Queen Mother is not their purpose.
Besides, if the Empress Dowager was burned on the spot, the palace maid would definitely die.
They just wanted to pour all the soup on the Empress Dowager.
I don’t know why, but it spilled on Mrs. Shen.
The palace maid quickly knelt down, as if she was about to cry out of fear, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stand firm for a moment. I deserve death."
But how could the kind-hearted Empress Dowager kill the palace maid because of her mistake at a banquet with more than a hundred people?
It was all planned, seamless, everything was an accident.
But……
It was different for Mrs. Shen. She had spent a lot of money to prepare this new dress for New Year's Eve. Therefore, Mrs. Shen, who was usually grumpy, slapped the maid in public without thinking.
Mu Lingwei quickly helped the palace maid up, "It's Chinese New Year, why did Mrs. Shen hit someone?"
Mrs. Shen was about to slap her a second time, but Mu Lingwei scolded her, "Mrs. Shen, the Empress Dowager and the Empress are still here. It's up to the owner to beat a dog!"
She was not willing to give in. If it was in the Shen Mansion, the maid would have been beaten long ago.
The palace maid was stunned and looked at Mu Lingwei blankly.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Lingwei took out her handkerchief and wiped the palace maid's face, pinched her wrist, showed it in front of everyone, and asked with concern: "So your hand is injured, why was it injured, was it to prepare for today's Hundred Days event?" At the official banquet, I was so busy that I even hurt my hands. No wonder the full tray of soup was spilled."
This wound was also left intentionally, and the palace maid was stunned again, because absolutely no one knew about it except herself.
How did Princess Anyang know?
"It's also pitiful. We are all raised by our own parents. We have to work hard for the masters and get beaten. It's not intentional. Why should Mrs. Shen be so angry?" Mu Lingwei said warmly.
The palace maid quickly put down her sleeves: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. It doesn't matter to me, it's all your fault."
The palace maid also had a guilty conscience.
Mu Lingwei knew that they had another plan, so she did not fight against the palace maid or quarrel with her. Murdering the Queen Mother was definitely not something that a young palace maid would dare to do.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager quickly said: "My hand is injured. Go and ask the people at the Royal Pharmacy to apply some medicine. Don't make it serious. Since you are injured, don't come out to serve the dishes. The maids and eunuchs are also celebrating the New Year. The emperor wants to give rewards to the people in the palace, girl, don't be sad, I have wronged you."
The palace maid bit her lip and felt mixed emotions in her heart when she saw the Empress Dowager with such kind eyes and eyebrows.
Everyone also saw just now that there was a fresh burn scar on the palace maid's wrist, but it was not the burn from the broth just now.
Discussions started again: "So that's it, no wonder the tray is not stable."
"Mrs. Shen started beating people without asking anything, and she did so in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is the most kind-hearted."
Seeing this, the Queen quickly said: "Here comes someone, please help Madam to change into clothes."
Shen Yanyan didn't understand why this happened, because everyone's eyes were on Princess Ping.
Mrs. Shen was a little reluctant to go out. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Her bun, neck, shoulders, skirt, and arms were all stained, and there was a smell of meat.
Mu Lingwei said kindly: "Mrs. Shen, please go and change it. It was my princess who made rude remarks just now. She offended me so much. I saw the injury on the maid's wrist, so I couldn't hold it back for a while, because I was afraid that Mrs. Shen would continue to blame the maid."
"Today happens to be New Year's Eve. Let's shake hands and make peace, and be harmonious and make money. I'm sorry." She took the initiative to lower her attitude.
What else did Mrs. Shen want to say? Mu Lingwei smiled again and said: "Here, help Mrs. Shen out quickly."
This demeanor is clearly that of a princess and cannot be criticized.
Mrs. Shen didn't want to leave, and she was dirty all over. She gave Mu Lingwei a cold look, hating Mu Lingwei to death, this hateful woman.
Her glare fell right into Mu Lingwei's eyes.
Mu Lingwei blinked her eyes, smiled sweetly, and pretended not to see it.
Shen Yanyan was also very anxious. Seeing what Mu Lingwei said, she still endured it and quietly exited the Chaoyang Palace.
Mu Lingwei didn't expect Shen Yanyan to be so calm, so she glanced at her.
But as soon as she arrived at the entrance of the palace, she accidentally tripped and fell down, and was drowned in the sea of people.
Mrs. Shen thought she had left, but did not notice that she had not succeeded in going out to report the news and stop the operation.
Immediately, Mrs. Shen stood up straight, her teeth were itching with hatred, and she was about to change her clothes. She thought to herself: "Anyway, Yan Yan has gone out to report the news. They won't let the dog go. At most, the plan will fail. I'm really pissed off." Sorry, what a pity these clothes are."
Princess Ping, who was pregnant, also said: "I, Princess, should accompany my aunt to change clothes. It just so happened that my skirt also got some soup on it."
Therefore, Princess Ping was also preparing to chase her out.
A flash of surprise flashed in Mu Lingwei's pupils, and she realized at this moment that Shen Rou didn't know about the Shen family's plan.
She also thought that she spilled the soup on herself on purpose, and that she deliberately sent herself away so that others could complete the plan, but she had a big belly and was a mother who was about to become a mother. Frightened, my fetus moved.
Shen Rou shouldn't be stupid enough to use her own child to make this happen, right?
Mu Lingwei has no intention of harming others, nor does she want to be a good person. If someone wants to harm the Empress Dowager, she just wants them to suffer the consequences.
She didn't know what role Shen Rou played in it, but the child was innocent...
Jun Yi's child and great-grandson of the Empress Dowager.
At the same time, exclamations sounded outside the Chaoyang Palace: "What's wrong with you, the Empress Dowager?"
Because there were many people in Chaoyang Hall and it was very noisy, the people inside did not hear the shouting outside, only the people outside could hear it clearly.
Just as the two of them were about to step out of the Chaoyang Palace, Mu Lingwei quickly walked up to Shen Rou, pulled her aside, and said warmly: "Princess Ping, I have something to ask you about, and it's about His Highness Prince Ping. , you should also have heard that I was assassinated by an assassin yesterday, and His Highness Prince Ping has been tracking down the murderer. I would like to thank His Highness Prince Ping and Princess Ping."
When Shen Rou heard about Jun Yi, she also stared at her with an eyebrow. She had indeed heard that Jun Yi had been guarding that street with his officers and soldiers.
In fact, Shen Rou was also a little angry. What did Jun Yi mean? He was not the governor of Jingzhao, so it had nothing to do with him when he encountered a murder case.
He also ran to save Princess Anyang.
She looked at Mu Lingwei again, this woman is so beautiful...
As a result, a bad premonition came into her mind.
