Chapter 494 Where are the spring flowers

"Tong'er, I heard that you are sick and your uncle came to visit you. How are you?" King Anhua stepped into the room with a spirit and shouted.

Princess Ping'an bowed slightly and felt three pairs of sharp eyes staring at her through a translucent veil.

"Uncle is here. How dare you work for your uncle so late? I forgive my niece's tiredness and it's inconvenient to get up and salute. Qingluan, hurry up and make tea."

"Don't get up. Is it a cold?" King Anhua stepped forward and stared at the princess through the gauze, saying words of concern, but there was no concern on his face.

Qingluan was afraid that the flaw would be seen. After all, the bulge of ** seemed slightly larger. He looked at it and looked very conspicuous. He hurriedly said, "Please sit down and use tea. The princess had a fever and drank a bowl of ginger soup at night. She covered the quilt and slept with it tonight. The maid added a few quilts to the princess.

Ang Huawang turned around and nodded, "That's good. Tomorrow is the first day of the Yuan Festival. It's not interesting to be sick in **."

"My niece thanked her uncle for his concern. It's not a serious illness. Maybe it's because the weather is too cold that she accidentally caught a cold."

"Well, it is also possible that there was a thief in the house last night. The noisy people in the house were frightened and my uncle was incompetent. It was unexpected that such a thing would happen in our palace." King Anhua smiled, sat on the chair by the table, and reached out to bring tea to drink.

King Anhua deliberately mentioned the thief's entry into the house. Princess Ping'an remained silent and did not want to answer the matter, but Qingluan, who stood aside, suddenly became nervous. Because following the hand stretched out by King Anhua, she suddenly saw two cups of residual tea on the table, which Song Nan drank when she came back after hiding Li Laoba in the evening. The other cup of tea was the tea the princess drank before going to bed, but she forgot to clean it up. The princess is the only one living in this room. If two cups of tea are found, I'm afraid it will immediately arouse suspicion.

Qingluan's body sweated and slowly approached the table, trying to cover the two tea cups with his sleeves. Ye Baoyi, the guard standing beside Zhu Huanyu, stared at him and reached out to stop Qingluan's approach. Ye Baoren, another guard, also looked at Qingluan with caution.

"Ouch." Qingluan suddenly screamed, and his body stumbled against the table. He immediately knocked the teacup and teapot on the table and rolled over. The cup of hot tea on the table also fell over. Zhu Xiaoqi was shocked and stood up to avoid it. Ye Baoyi and Ye Baoren almost bounced up to protect Zhu Yu's side at the same time, and the hot tea turned over the table all over the table. Dripping, Zhu Yuqi didn't have a drop on his body, and he poured all over Ye Baoyi, who was in front of him.

Qingluan got up, with blood on his forehead and hot air on half of his shoulders. Obviously, hot tea also splashed on her body.

"Qingluan, how can you be so reckless? Is your uncle all right? Qingluan apologized quickly. ** Although Princess Ping'an doesn't know what's going on, it's not good for Qingluan to be punished by Zhu Yuqi. There are only a few intimate people around her.

"The maidservant deserves to die. The maidservant deserves to die. Your Majesty, you haven't burned it. The maidservant has reached the foot of the stool." Qingluan knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ang Huawang recovered from the shock and frowned, "Why are you so careless? How do you serve people?"

"The maidservant deserves to die, and the maidservant will clean it up." Qingluan got up and picked up the cloth towel and put the overturned teacup on the table into the slag bucket, cleaned the table, and quickly bapt a cup of hot tea for Zhu Yuxin.

Zhu Yuqi no longer sat at the desk this time and looked at Qingluan and said, "Is your name Qingluan?"

"The maidservant is Qingluan." Qingluan's body trembled.

"You are the maidservant who serves Tonger, but I heard that there is a maid named Chunhua in the princess's room. Why can't you see her?"

Qingluan was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Zhu Yu said with a sneer on his face, "I'm asking you."

Princess Ping'an hurriedly said, "Uncle, there is a spring flower, but today she has something to do at home, so I sent her home."

"Oh? What a coincidence? Why have I never seen this maid named Chunhua?

"My uncle is busy. How can he care about the existence of a maid? I don't know what's wrong with my uncle Xun Chunhua?"

"It's not a big deal, but I heard that there was no spring flower in your room at all, but last night when the royal palace took the thief, this person really appeared. I heard that he also beat Wang Xingren, the deputy commander of the guard, for you, which made his face swollen and his teeth fall out, right?" Zhu Wei asked coldly.

"Is it my uncle who blames me for punishing the evil slaves in the house? This Wang Xingren broke into my bedroom to find out what kind of thief. I am the princess of the Qing Palace. Can a slave be so rude? It's still light to beat him. If my father is alive, I'm afraid that this person will be cut off his head. When will the maidservant in my palace become so disrespectful to his master?

Princess Ping An's body trembled a little, I don't know whether it was because of excitement or fear. Song Nan nodded secretly in her heart. The princess was very smart. Zhu Yuyu asked who the maidservant was, Chunhua, but the princess changed the topic and related the contradiction to what Wang Xingren should not. If she wanted to avoid the importance, she could avoid the questioning. The idea was good, but unfortunately Zhu Yuyu had indicated her purpose in a few words and would definitely keep asking questions.

"Don't be excited. Wang Xingren should naturally fight. Not only will my uncle not blame you, but I also have to punish him additionally. Wang Xingren is so bold that I'm going to cut his head. What do you think?"

"That's not necessary. After all, he is also trying to get the thief. I have also punished him, and there is no need to make it uncontrollable."

"Okay, okay, Tonger's house is very kind, very similar to your father's nature; but what I want to ask is this maid named Chunhua, can you ask her to come out to see me?"

"Uncle, I said that Chunhua had something to do at home and left home early this morning."

"Oh? Where is her home?

"Why is my uncle so interested in a maidservant? Her family is not in Ningxia. She is from Chengdu. She was originally the daughter of my husband's servant. We met her husband's house. A few days ago, she came here to find me and said that the whole family had no livelihood in Chengdu, so I took her as my maidservant; a few days ago It was agreed that she would go back early to pick up her parents and come to Ningxia Town. This morning, she went back to Chengdu for this matter.

"Hahaha." Zhu Yu suddenly laughed, shaking with fat all over his body, and tears were about to come down.

"Tong'er's story is very complete. Your husband's maidservant in Chengdu has come all the way here to find you to shelter her, and then you took her and let her take her parents to live with her. Ha ha, okay, okay, the servant is righteous, the master is kind, what a story with kindness."

Princess Ping An said quietly, "Isn't it possible? There are many affectionate, righteous and benefactors in the world, and not all people are unkind and righteous for themselves.

Zhuzhiqi nodded with a sneer and said, "Well said, kindness and righteousness are the pursuit of the world. Who doesn't want the people around you to be affectionate and righteous, but it's a pity that such things are rare in the world; and I know that all of this is false. This person named Chunhua does not exist at all. There are several maidservant women in your west building. If you have a surname, you don't have this spring flower at all.

Princess Ping'an said, "It turns out that my uncle is not only in charge of big things, but also cares about such things."

"I don't have time to care about this. What I care about is why there was a maid named Chunhua in your room on the night when the thief entered the house, and now this spring flower disappeared out of thin air."

"It turns out that my uncle actually has such a suspicion. That's all, my uncle is reasonable, but I don't disdain to respond to this matter at all. Even my uncle doubts me, and I have nothing to say. If you think there is something wrong with your niece's behavior, you can take your niece to the official."

"My good niece is a fangled person. At this time, you still deny it. I'm not here to doubt you, but the lies you made up are too ridiculous. Come and bring Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhao to ask questions."

The guard outside the door pushed, and two women in ordinary skirts staggered in. Seeing King Anhua, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "I've seen the prince."

King Anhua didn't look at them. He stared at Princess Ping'an in the tent and said, "You two answered truthfully, is there a maid named Chunhua in this west building?"

The two women peeked at the princess in the tent and said in a trembling voice, "No... Without this person, the old slaves have been serving in the West Tower for more than ten years. There has never been a maid named Chunhua, but there is a maid named Xia Hua."

Zhu Qi asked with a smile, "Which one is Xia Hua?"

Mrs. Wang, with a wrinkled face, said awkwardly, "Yes... it's the maiden name of the old slave."

Zhu Xiaoqi laughed and pointed to her and said, "Your name is Xia Hua, hahaha, which one do you look like a flower? This name is actually your name, alas."

Ms. Wang blushed and said, "The old slave was also beautiful when he was young, my lord..."

"Are you sure there is no maid named Chunhua in the West Building?" King Anhua didn't have time to listen to her wordy and interrupt her question.

"Absolutely not." The two women vowed.

"Tong'er, can you hear it clearly? This is the person in your west building, but it's not my uncle. I just don't believe your story. Who is this person named Chunhua? You should explain it to me.
