The expressions of the guards at Prince Qi's palace nearby were becoming more and more strange.

Only Hu Xiaohui and Cui Mo still noticed nothing.

Hu Xiaohui was still complacent. In her eyes, Tian Rumo, whose face was a little dirty but full of smiles, was already a dead person.

"Sister Princess, you can still laugh now. I'm worried about you!"

Meow!

Xiaomei rolled her eyes at Hu Xiaohui.

"This is a big fool. He confessed everything, but he knew nothing about it and he's still shouting so happily!"

"Master, we don't talk to fools!"

Tian Ruomo didn't even look at Hu Xiaohui, but teased Xiaomei in her arms and said with a smile, "Xiaomei is right, she is a big fool. If we don't talk to her, it will lower our IQ!"

When Hu Xiaohui saw that Tian Rumo was actually talking to a cat and calling her a fool, she was extremely angry. However, she did not show it but sneered in her heart.

[You say I'm a fool, but you are the biggest fool in the world. Otherwise, how could you end up like this after being schemed by me? ]

[Your death is approaching. If you can still smile when you die, I will admire you! ]

Soon, Zhao Jing, the housekeeper of the Prince of Qi's mansion, hurried back and reported to Xiao Yan with a grim look on his face, "My Lord, the lowly slave Chen Quan has hanged himself in the firewood room where he was imprisoned!"

"Not only that, Chen Quan's wife Hua Qiao was just found dead with her two young children after taking poison!"

"It looked like Hua Qiao fed the two children the poisoned steamed buns, and then took the poison herself."

Hu Xiaohui was very proud, "Madame Lin is very skilled in martial arts. She taught the guards of Shangshu Mansion how to do martial arts. She has done even greater things for the benefit of Shangshu Mansion!"

[Killing a few slaves and pretending they committed suicide out of fear of punishment is a piece of cake! ]

Everyone's eyes were focused on Hu Xiaohui again, and even Zhao Jing looked at Hu Xiaohui in extreme surprise.

Xiao Jun turned his head to look at his guard leader Du Hu and gave him a look. Du Hu nodded and quietly stepped back and left.

Hu Xiaohui thought that the news of Chen Quan's family's death would shock and even anger the people present, and they would accuse Tian Rumo of harming people.

Xiao Yan would be even more furious!

However, there was nothing!

The scene was unusually calm!

Moreover, everyone's attention was not on Tian Ruomo, but on her!

At this time, although Hu Xiaohui felt a little strange, she didn't think too much about it.

She sighed in mock sympathy, "This lowly slave Chen Quan knew that he was doomed to die, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. It was a good thing for him, but it was a pity for his wife and children!"

At this point, her eyes became red and she hugged Xiao Yan's arm, "Those two children, who were still ignorant of the ways of the world, should not have died, but were poisoned to death by their own mother. It's heartbreaking just thinking about it!"

"Although they are lowly slaves in the palace, they are still human beings. Your Majesty, just give them a good send-off. Don't throw them in a mass grave. Find a place to dig a pit and bury them all!"

"Let them all get on the road together!"

Hu Xiaohui thought that such words would be praised by Xiao Yan and the people present in the Prince of Qi's Mansion for her kindness.

[These lowly slaves were able to be buried after death and sleep in the same tomb. It was really a bargain for them! ]

[If you still don't express gratitude to me, you are so ungrateful! ]

To Hu Xiaohui's surprise, she still did not receive the praise she had expected!

The people present were still looking at her quietly, no one said a word.

Even Xiao Yan had his mouth slightly open and his eyes dazed.

What happened today refreshed Xiao Yan’s understanding of Hu Xiaohui.

He really didn't know that Hu Xiaohui, who was usually gentle, kind, pure, well-educated and well-mannered, would have such a dark side.

Born into a royal family and having experienced countless dirty calculations since childhood, he thought Hu Xiaohui would be different and had nothing to do with those things, but he did not expect that Hu Xiaohui was no exception.

The girl who used to be full of radiance seemed to have suddenly become a different person, shrouded in a layer of gloom!

Just when Hu Xiaohui was confused, Tian Ruomo clicked her tongue twice, "Concubine Hu is really a kind and benevolent woman. It is a blessing for the Prince Qi's Mansion to have someone like you in charge!"

"My master has always been kind and generous to his servants, just like his own family. Everyone in the mansion knows this and is grateful."

Cui Mo spoke proudly, and then the others heard another voice.

[It’s all superficial. Everyone in the Shangshu Mansion knows that my master is a female Yama.]

[She would beat the servants in the house for fun when she had nothing to do. She has always been moody since she was a child. She has beaten at least three servants to death!]

[Everyone in the mansion knows that if you offend the master, you may not be severely punished. If you dare to offend my master, breaking your legs is the least you can do.]

[Outside, she would pretend to be weak, well-educated and polite, and would pretend to have red eyes when stepping on an ant to death, and wipe her tears with a handkerchief to gain fame! ]

Having heard Hu Xiaohui’s thoughts before, everyone immediately realized that this was Cui Mo’s thoughts.

Cui Mo turned to look at Zhao Jing, "Butler Zhao, tell me, is my master good or bad?"

Zhao Jing's expression was extremely awkward. He glanced at Xiao Yan, then at Xiao Jun, and then at Tian Rumo who was holding a cat and smiling. He smiled awkwardly and nodded reluctantly.

Cui Mo was not satisfied with this answer. She wanted to get the people in Prince Qi's mansion to sing praises of Hu Xiaohui. How could it be done with just a nod?

Seeing Cui Mo was about to continue talking, Hu Xiaohui raised her hand to stop her, "Stop talking. There are some things that everyone can see. I am just doing my duty and speaking my mind."

"It's Sister Princess!"

Hu Xiaohui said with disdain, "Don't think that you can get away with it because there is no substantial evidence that Chen Quan committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"We caught you and Chen Quan in bed. There were at least thirty people in Prince Qi's mansion who witnessed the filthy scene between you and Chen Quan in bed."

"Butler Zhao, please tell the prince about the scene at that time!"

Zhao Jing swallowed and answered with his head down.

"Reporting to the prince, Miss Cui Mo claimed that she saw a thief sneaking into Fengnuan Pavilion where the princess lived, so we followed her in."

"I did see that the lowly slave Chen Quan was naked and the princess, whose clothes were disheveled, was lying on the same bed!"

Zhao Jing thought to himself, [Although he was lying on the bed, when I went in, I took a closer look and saw that the things in the room were in disarray, as if there had been a fight.]

[Neither Chen Quan nor the princess were easily awakened, especially Chen Quan, whose forehead was broken and bleeding a lot, and he was obviously knocked unconscious.]

[When the princess woke up after being splashed with cold water, she was still unconscious for a long time, which was very abnormal.]

[The princess's clothes were in disarray, with some parts torn, but overall they were intact. It was more likely that Chen Quan had forced himself on the princess, but he did not succeed! ]

[I’m afraid the truth is not as Concubine Hu said, but it’s none of my business, so there’s no need to meddle in it! ]

Zhao Jing raised his head and noticed that both Xiao Yan and Xiao Jun looked at him with strange eyes.

His expression froze for a moment, [Could my thoughts be heard by others?]

If he can hear Hu Xiaohui's inner voice, is it possible that others can also hear his inner voice?

A voice answered him, [That's right! ]

what!

Zhao Jing was shocked. Who was talking?

At this moment, he saw a smile from Tian Rumo!

It’s the princess’s voice!

OMG!

The princess spoke to him through her inner voice!

Hu Xiaohui smiled brightly, "Sister Princess, do you have anything else to say?"

"Nothing to say!"

Tian Rumo smiled and shook her head, then turned to look at Xiao Jun and bowed slightly.

"Xiao Jun, thank you for your help!"

Xiao Jun nodded and raised his hand to sign!

[Please rest assured, I already know the truth and will clear the Empress's name! ]

Tian Ruomo smiled brightly, "I believe you!"

When Xiao Jun saw Tian Rumo's shining eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and then he forced himself to calm down.

Tian Rumo did not call him "royal brother", but called him by his name as she did before when no one was around, which made the two of them seem very close, and this made him feel very comfortable.

Unfortunately, Tian Ruomo is in love with his royal brother and has become his royal sister-in-law!
