I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Zhao Yuling wanted to argue: "But who can prove that I gave her the banknote? What if the master and servant wanted to frame me?"

Fang Yao was so angry that she rushed to Zhao Yuling's side and slapped her in the face. She gnashed her teeth and said to her, "Zhao Yuling, you are such an ungrateful bastard. I treated you so well, but you treated me like this. Why did you frame me? Tell me!"

A red slap mark instantly appeared on Zhao Yuling's fair skin on one side of her face. But she sat there and dared not move, for she was afraid that if she moved, the Qi Bu San would break out.

She could only grit her teeth and say nothing. She didn't want to die yet. At least she wanted to see that person again before she died.

An Muxi was getting a little impatient. This Zhao Yuling was too difficult to deal with. Not only did she have anti-reconnaissance capabilities, but she also had extremely high psychological qualities. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a good candidate to be a spy.

At this time, Jianying couldn't bear it any longer and said to An Muxi, "We already found out who she contacted yesterday."

An Muxi was startled, staring at Jian Ying blankly and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Jianying said expressionlessly: "The prince asked us to cooperate with you, so..."

An Muxi was speechless. It seemed that she had been solving the case for a long time just like Bao Qingtian, but Jianying and the others already knew the result and were just watching the show?

But when I thought about the fact that Li Rui actually asked his personal bodyguard to cooperate with him in this way, I couldn't describe the feeling.

An Muxi continued, "Since you have already found out everything, just bring out the witnesses and evidence."

Jianying signaled to his men, and soon they came up with a servant with a pointed face and a monkey cheek. Another person took a package and placed it in front of An Muxi.

Jianying said, "This boy was the one who sent the garbage truck out of the palace. He was the one who came into contact with the maid. He came into contact with the housekeeper of Cheng Wangfu outside and was seen by our people."

"This package is what he got from the housekeeper of Prince Cheng's Mansion. He gave it to Fang Yao's maid and then sent it to Zhao Yuling."

An Muxi opened the paper package, took a look, and immediately recognized that it contained poppy shells, commonly known as rice shells.

After seeing the witnesses and the evidence, Zhao Yuling looked ashen. She was completely finished this time. It turned out that the prince had been eyeing her for a long time.

Although the matter has been basically investigated, An Muxi is still quite curious about why Zhao Yuling would help King Cheng.

So he asked, "Zhao Yuling, what is your relationship with King Cheng? Why are you helping him?"

Zhao Yuling now had no thought of resisting at all and numbly told her story.

It turned out that Zhao Yuling's father was also a seventh-rank official in the capital. She was the eldest daughter in the family, but her mother was in poor health and her father favored his concubine over his wife.

She did not have a good life at home. One time when she went out to buy medicine for her mother, she met a few playboys who blocked her in an alley and tried to molest her.

Then she was rescued by the sudden appearance of King Cheng. King Cheng was handsome and powerful. He had seen countless women and knew how to control them, so Zhao Yuling soon fell in love with him.

He saw Zhao Yuling's feelings for him and made a request. He arranged for Zhao Yuling to go to Prince Rui's mansion first to inquire about Prince Rui's news and report back to him. If she could get close to Prince Rui, he would be given a chronic poison.

After she did all this, King Cheng promised to find a way to get her out of Prince Rui's Palace, give her a new look, and bring her into Prince Cheng's Palace as a concubine.

Zhao Yuling was dazzled by King Cheng's sweet words at the time. She thought he was a good man with affection and righteousness, so she actually agreed.

When she entered Prince Rui's mansion, she found that Prince Rui did not summon the women in the backyard at all. She became very anxious, until she learned that Prince Rui doted on An Muxi, then she decided to start with An Muxi.

After listening to her story, An Muxi sighed and asked what love is in the world. Zhao Yuling is just a foolish woman who has been deceived.

I also felt a little sorry for Li Rui. These princes were secretly trying to harm him. How did he become the target of public criticism?

An Muxi asked again: "Don't you think it's too coincidental that Cheng Wang saved you? He has the most women in his backyard. He has seen all kinds of women. Do you really believe that he fell in love with you at first sight?"

Zhao Yuling's face turned pale and she lowered her head without saying a word. In fact, with her intelligence, she had long suspected that her being rescued by King Cheng might have been arranged.

But she still had a glimmer of hope and was willing to believe King Cheng's sweet words.

In fact, the most hateful person is Cheng Wang, that scum who plays with women. An Muxi felt sick when she thought of Cheng Wang, whom she had met twice before.

The matter had been investigated, and she had no right to deal with Zhao Yuling, so she could only say to Jianying: "Jianying, take them away, and you can ask the prince how to deal with them."

Then he said to Zhao Yuling, "Actually, I didn't give you any Seven-Step Powder. It's just some powder to help digestion. I think you'll have diarrhea later."

Jianying said nothing and asked the guards to take a few people out. After they left, Fang Yao was so angry that she grabbed Zhao Yuling's hair and beat her for a while. She was the most innocent one and knew nothing about the whole process, but she was implicated.

Jianying didn't stop them out of spite. Seeing that the fight was almost over, he pulled the two men apart and took them away.

Xiaoqin and several of her maids watched the whole process. Xiaoqin said angrily, "Although this concubine Zhao had her reasons, she herself has bad intentions and chose to help King Cheng harm others. She is not a good person either."

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "That's right. How could a woman who usually looks so delicate and beautiful be so vicious? Fortunately, the master was very observant and I was not harmed."

Xiaoyun: "The master is the best. He can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with the cake."

Banxia: "Master is wise and powerful."

Shiso: "The master is beautiful and intelligent."

Bai Zhi: "The master is virtuous and kind."

Xiaoqin was unhappy: "How can I praise you guys since you guys have finished my lines!"

An Muxi almost lost herself in the rainbow fart: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Although what you said is right, we have to keep a low profile, understand?"

An Muxi was in a good mood when she saw these cute little maids and dealt with Zhao Yuling's affairs, so she took out another five taels of silver and gave it to Xiaoyun.

"Go to the big kitchen and buy some fresh vegetables and meat. We will have a big dinner today."

Xiaoyun happily took the silver and left. The maids were very excited as they had meat to eat again.

She quickly served tea and water, massaged An Muxi's legs and shoulders, and made her feel very happy. Sometimes she felt that it would be nice to live here forever.

The next day, Xiaoqin said to An Muxi, "Master, do you know? Yesterday, the prince had Concubine Zhao and Concubine Fang driven out of Prince Rui's mansion, and their maids were also sold off."

This surprised An Muxi a little. She felt that this was not like Li Rui's style. He didn't do anything shady.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Li Rui deliberately let people spread the word and drove out the two concubines who betrayed the Rui Palace.

He was mainly afraid that if he killed someone in the palace, An Muxi would think he was a ruthless person and dislike him even more. As for how other people viewed him, he didn't care at all.

But once he left Prince Rui’s Mansion, whatever happened to these people would have nothing to do with him.

In his mind, Zhao Yuling was already a corpse because she dared to drug An Muxi. That servant was guilty of colluding with Cheng Wang, and his fate was the same.

As for Fang Yao, she was just an idiot, so she could just be sold to a brothel. The two maids were given a mute drug and sent to the pawnbroker to deal with them.

An Muxi was completely unaware of all this. In the past few days, he continued to write furiously in the palace and finished the middle part of "Don't Despise the Poor Youngsters". Then he conceived two more picture books. "The Story of a Mortal Cultivating Demons" and "The Little Master"

It feels like time flies. A week has passed in the blink of an eye and it’s time to go to the bookstore again.

This time, An Muxi decided to take Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue with her, and after visiting the bookstore, go directly to the Sandalwood Temple in the suburbs of the imperial capital.
