One touch and one silence

Shuhua fell directly on the bed and fainted.

Two eunuchs suddenly appeared in the room, looked at the maid with admiration, and said flatteringly, "Sister Meixiang is really amazing. She caught the person so easily!"

Meixiang was not pleased by the praises from the fathers-in-law, but was instead scolded.

"Stop talking nonsense and take the person away quickly!"

Soon the two of them put Yuexiang into a box and carried her out.

Meixiang, who was in the room, changed her previous clothes, folded them again and put them back in their original place.

She also casually threw the teacup into the pond when she came in. Meixiang looked at how everything was ready, clapped her hands, and left in a leisurely manner.

Manager Li, who had been waiting for the calligraphy and paintings, became a little impatient and thought that the calligraphy and paintings had already been returned.

He just left and went back alone.

When Manager Li returned and was ready to report the matter to the Seventh Prince, Shuyue told him that the Seventh Prince had a headache and had already fallen asleep.

Therefore, I also forgot about calligraphy and painting.

In the Linyue Palace, the two eunuchs took advantage of no one's attention and put the calligraphy and paintings back into the toilet and took them out.

When Shuhua woke up, he found himself in a strange place and was tied up.

"woke up?"

When Shuhua opened his eyes, he saw the maid who had spoken to him before.

She looked around, trying to see where she was.

"Don't look at it, Lenggong. I'm going to ask you one thing. If you tell me the truth, I'll let you go. How about that?"

Meixiang looked at the doubtful look on her face and smiled.

"I went through so much trouble to get it for you, not just to have another body somewhere tomorrow."

"Your fellow villager solved a problem for me, so I am willing to let you go? It depends on whether you can catch him."

Meixiang no longer had the same open-hearted look as before with Shuhua.

Shuhua felt extremely regretful. He wondered why he lost his mind when he heard about Yuanyuan's situation and followed her foolishly.

Shuhua looked at this person. She had never seen him before. Who was this person?

"What do you want to know?"

Meixiang smiled and said, "Isn't that right? It's good for you, it's good for me, it's good for everyone. If you don't make it difficult for me, I won't make it difficult for you either. How great!"

"Where did you learn about the events of the thirteenth year of the Daling Dynasty?"

The expression on Meixiang's face suddenly became serious.

Shuhua's heart skipped a beat. So that's it! So that's it!

It was her fault that led to the death of the innocent Yuanyuan.

Shuhua could no longer control her tears and her voice choked with sobs.

"Is this the reason that caused Yuanyuan's death?" Shuhua's eyes were filled with sadness.

Meixiang might be in a good mood, so she answered her question.

"That's right! If you tell me where you got the news, I'll tell you how Yuanyuan died and even where her body is. How about that?"

“This is a good deal!”

Meixiang's tone was bewitching, and she lowered her head and squatted beside Shuhua.

"Can I trust you?"

Shuhua's eyes were filled with tears as he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.

"For the sake of your fellow villager, I am willing to let you go. This is my greatest sincerity."

"it is good!"

"I hope you can keep your word!"

"I have another request. I want to know who is the murderer who killed Yuanyuan?" Shuhua's face was full of resentment, his eyes exuding hatred, and he wanted to avenge Yuanyuan.

The expressions in the calligraphy and painting brought joy to Meixiang.

"No problem, as long as you tell me what I want to know, I will tell you all your questions! But! If I find out that you lied to me! You know the consequences."

Meixiang took out a dagger from somewhere and slapped Shuhua on the face several times.

Shuhua was so scared that his body leaned backwards.

"Okay, tell me!"

"I didn't know about this at first. After His Highness fell into the water, I went to Yuelin Palace to look for Concubine Liu and ask her to find a doctor for His Highness."

"You know, the Seventh Prince was at Concubine Liu's place at that time, and she had no room to speak. Not to mention inviting an imperial physician for my master, she wished she had never given birth to my Prince!"

"Of course, they blocked me from entering the Yuelin Palace. I had no choice but to sneak in through a dog hole in the remote courtyard to their left, and sneaked into the Yuelin Palace. I was just about to go in and ask Concubine Liu for help."

"I heard her talking to someone, saying that her child was killed by her own people, and she was so stupid that she didn't even know it. What a pity for the newborn baby boy."

"At first I didn't know who she was talking about, but then I heard what Concubine Liu continued to say. She was frightened by their dead baby and gave birth to the Seventh Prince prematurely, which caused her to give birth to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince before the due date. The timing was not favorable for her, so this is why she hated His Royal Highness for many years."

"I was originally wondering what the dead baby was, but later I found out that on the day the Seventh Prince was born, all the imperial concubines and concubines in the palace gave birth to a son, but none of them survived."

"Then how do you know that the person they are talking about is the Imperial Concubine, not the Concubine Shu?"

Meixiang is not so easy to fool.

"Come here, I'll tell you!" Shuhua was nervous as if there were other people around.

Meixiang looked at the calligraphy and painting thoughtfully. She thought that there wouldn't be any problem with her tied body.

She leaned forward in front of the calligraphy and painting.

"What did Concubine Liu say? The Imperial Concubine loves our Majesty too much and will ruin our business, so her child must die. She must not be allowed to take the position of Queen."

The dagger in Meixiang's hand fell to the ground, and her expression was particularly scary.

Suddenly she looked at the calligraphy and painting, trying to figure out whether her words were true or false.

"What happened next?" Meixiang didn't know how she sat on the stool. If she didn't pay attention, her trembling hands would betray her feelings.

"Then I left. It was too scary. I'm just a little servant. It's better for me to know less about this secret. Otherwise, I won't know how I died."

"I'm sure you know what happened later. The prince was kind-hearted and called the imperial physician for us."

This is true, Meixiang nodded.

Shuhua looked at Meixiang's thoughtful expression and wondered how much this person believed it. He must not let his master get involved.

The master has just won the favor of His Majesty and the Crown Prince in the palace, and is no match for the Imperial Concubine. She never wants the master to go back to the way he was before, and she might even lose her life.

"Now can you tell me how Yuanyuan died?"

"Who is her murderer?"

As Shuhua spoke, her face was filled with anger and pain, which showed her determination to avenge Yuanyuan.

Meixiang stared at the calligraphy and painting for a long time without saying a word, as if she was examining it, or as if she was trying to discern the truth in its words.

"You don't want to regret it and not tell me!"

"You can't be so dishonest!"

Shuhua struggled to stand up. At this moment, she looked down at Meixiang who was sitting on the stool without saying a word.

"I'll tell you if you answer my last question!"
