Chapter 326 (1/2)



326 A major breakthrough in the case (2)

Especially since the Crown Prince was a Prince and had many beautiful maidservants around him, it would be difficult for him to keep his chastity when he was young and impulsive.

Xu Qi ‘an felt that only a person with great perseverance like her could remain single for nineteen years.

“Although the crown prince’s cultivation is shallow, it should be very easy for him to use force on a weak woman. Therefore, perhaps Consort Fu didn’t even have the chance to cry for help.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“My Crown Prince Gege would not do such a thing.” The framed girl immediately retorted. This was her last bit of stubbornness as her sister.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t respond to the girl’s comment. He sneered at the older maid and said, “”You didn’t tell the truth just now, did you?”

A trace of panic flashed through the palace maid’s eyes. She waved her hand and said,”Everything this servant has said is true, there is absolutely no lie. Please judge for yourself, my Lord.”

“You didn’t lie, but you didn’t tell me everything, right?” Xu Qi ‘an patted her thigh with the scabbard.

“I don’t have much patience. If you don’t want to tell me, then go to the prison of the Yamen. I can’t guarantee how the prison guards will treat you.”

These little palace maids and eunuchs had many thoughts and were timid. Intimidation was the best way.

The palace maid bit her lip and made up her mind,”Your Highnesses and Lord Xu, please follow me.”

She turned around and entered the attic, with Xu Qi ‘an, huaiqing, and Lin’ an following behind.

After returning to the attic, the palace maid went straight to the bottom of the bed and opened a large wooden box with great effort. She took out a small wooden box from under her old clothes.

The palace maid lowered her head and timidly presented the wooden box.

Xu Qi ‘an took it and opened the wooden box. After seeing what was inside, there were only two words in her mind:Wu Lake!

If it wasn’t for Lin ‘an and huaiqing by his side, he would have blown an exaggerated whistle.

In the wooden box lay an object carved out of Jade.

Xu Qi ‘an immediately understood why the palace maid was hesitating and didn’t dare to speak.

This thing was a forbidden item in the palace. On the moral level, it was one thing, but this was the palace, and the concubines were the emperor’s women, so it was definitely not allowed.

Didn’t the Emperor care about his face?

Once they were discovered, they would either be thrown into the cold Palace or be demoted.

This explained why Consort Fu wanted to drive the servants out of the attic. On one hand. she was in. bad mood after drinking. but on the other hand, this thing in front of her was another reason … Fortunately. I drove the young eunuch out. Otherwise. Emperor Yuan jing would have killed me to silence me … Xu Qi ‘an’s expression was complicated.

“What is this?” The princess of Lin an said with a frown.

Xu Qi ‘an glanced at her and then at huaiqing. The cold Princess was expressionless as she focused on examining the Jade carving. There was confusion in her eyes.
