After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

As soon as they reached the back of the fifth princess's palace, she saw two palace maids arguing there from a distance. Xue Jinruo's heart moved, so she cautiously moved closer, ready to listen to what the two were talking about.

After getting closer, the words became much clearer, and Xue Jinruo listened for a while.

"Xiaohua, what's the matter with you? The princess has repeatedly ordered you to burn everything related to that person. Why do you still keep such a teacup? Take it to me and burn it immediately."

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to burn it, but how do you want me to burn this thing? It won't burn at all. If you leave it in the charcoal fire for a long time, it will be nothing."

"Then what do you think we should do? Don't you know there's a plague up here? Don't you know how miserable that person died before? Why do you still have something like this that can cause fire?"

……

Xue Jinruo was shocked after hearing this. She had never heard of any plague in Sheng Jiaojiao's place before. She didn't expect that the plague was spread from Sheng Jiaojiao's palace. This saved her a lot of effort and hesitated for a moment. Then she walked over directly.

"See the princess."

"See the princess."

The two palace maids recognized Xue Jinruo and hurriedly bowed and saluted, while the one holding the tea cup hid it behind her back.

Xue Jinruo came for this teacup, so he said straight to the point: "Can you give me the teacup you mentioned just now?"

The two of them were stunned when they heard this. They glanced at each other and showed fear. They hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Princess, this teacup is for servants, how can it be worthy of your status? If you like it, If so, I will report it to the fifth princess and ask her to find a better cup for you."

Xue Jinruo frowned. Naturally, she saw the fear in their eyes. She guessed that Sheng Jiaojiao must be putting pressure on them to keep silent about this matter, otherwise something would happen.

She rolled her eyes and said sternly: "Do you really think I like this tea cup? I heard everything you just said. Did the plague that is disturbing the palace come from your palace in the first place? ?”

Both of them remained silent, not even willing to raise their heads to look at Xue Jinruo, but this also proved from the side that her words were naturally correct.

"You won't say it, right? Then don't come and beg me when you're about to die." Xue Jinruo said this coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" A timid voice came from behind. Before, another older palace maid had been replying, but now it was the younger one who asked.

"What do you mean? Do you think this tea cup is safe? You don't know how fierce this plague is, right? You must have been infected now. I am the only one in the palace who can cure this plague, but I have just said Don't come and beg me when you are about to die." Xue Jinruo turned around and said this, then turned away again.

The two palace maids looked at me and I looked at you. Their fear of death finally exceeded their fear of Sheng Jiaojiao.

"Princess, Princess, let me tell you that the plague did spread from our palace at the beginning. At that time..." A palace maid stepped forward and said.

"...The fifth princess was not allowed to make any noise, and even ordered the man to be burned alive. Everything related to him was burned. Now only this teacup is left." Another palace maid also stepped forward to explain. .

After hearing this, Xue Jinruo nodded and took the tea cup. Naturally, she was not worried about the plague on it. After all, they mentioned that it had been burned in charcoal fire several times before, and even if there was any, they would have been burned to death. , she was just deceiving them just now.

"Okay, but I have to ask you to do another thing for me." Xue Jinruo looked at the teacups for a while and then said to the two of them, "Now there are still plague things in your palace. This matter is big or small. , you should hurry up and report back to the Queen."

"This is absolutely not okay, Princess."

"No, Princess, the Queen must not know about this, otherwise it will definitely reach the ears of our master, and our lives will definitely be in danger."

When they heard this, they both knelt on the ground and begged. They burst into tears and couldn't bear to look at Xue Jinruo.

But Xue Jinruo still helped the two of them up and explained: "Get up first and listen to me. I am doing this for your own good and for the good of your fifth princess."

The two stood up and wiped away their tears before looking at Xue Jinruo suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"You know that the queen was also infected with the plague before, right?" Xue Jinruo asked, scanning their faces.

"I know, but haven't you been cured by the princess now?" The two nodded but still asked.

"It will be cured, just like a fire. After you put out the fire, won't you go and investigate the source of the fire?" As soon as Xue Jinruo asked this, the faces of the two palace maids immediately turned white.

Seeing that they understood, Xue Jinruo struck while the iron was hot and continued: "This time it is the plague that the queen contracted. After this matter subsides, the source will be thoroughly investigated in the palace. If it is found on your heads by then, it will be found that it is related to the plague. You have a relationship, and you are now taking the initiative to confess that I have a relationship with you. You don't know which is more important, right? And how could the fifth princess punish you? It's not too late for her to thank you."

What Xue Jinruo said was impeccable. After listening to it, the two palace ladies thought more and more about what she said made sense, and finally decided to go to Fengyi Palace with Xue Jinruo to meet the queen.

"The fifth princess is truly blessed to have two maids like you." Xue Jinruo said this when she saw the two agreed.

The two palace maids were deceived by Xue Jinruo, and now they could hardly tell the difference between east, west, and north. They didn't even hear the sarcasm in her words, and the three of them hurried towards Fengyi Palace.

Outside Fengyi Palace.

"Seventh Princess, please run slower, slave... slave can't even catch up." Amber said panting.

"Sister Amber, you are really not good enough. You can't run even after just two steps." The seventh princess looked proud and raised her little face to make a face at Amber.

"Okay, you dare to make fun of me, don't let me catch you!" Amber pretended to have a serious face after hearing this, and prepared to catch the seventh princess behind her.

The seventh princess chuckled, but she deftly stepped aside, without Amber even touching the hem of her clothes.

She stood up pretending to be furious and was going to catch the seventh princess, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of Xue Jinruo rushing towards here with two palace maids.
