Chapter 1409: Face the Queen!
While Ye Mingsheng and An Miaoyi were talking, in the courtyard where Pei Zhixiu lived, Jingxuan looked at his mother in the room and hesitated for a moment before asking:
"Mom! Will Sister Liu Ying come back?"
Facing his son's question, Pei Zhixiu was silent for a moment, but still said truthfully:
"do not know!"
Although he had already realized that it was very likely that Madam Cao had arrested people this time at the instruction of An Miaoyi and was targeting him!
However, after living with An Miaoyi for such a long time, Pei Zhixiu still understands An Miaoyi. She knows that since An Miaoyi dared to take action, she must have something to rely on!
Although Pei Zhixiu is still not quite clear about what happened, judging from Liu Ying's performance when she was arrested during the day, even if she is not the main culprit, she is definitely not clean!
And once An Miaoyi has the handle in her hands, the consequences are naturally predictable given her methods!
After listening to the answer given by his mother, Jingxuan also fell into silence. After a moment, he seemed to want to ask something again, but this young child did not ask in the end.
Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu also touched his son's head, forced a smile on his face and said:
"Jingxuan, you should get some rest! You still have to go to Mr. Deng's class tomorrow!"
Jingxuan nodded sensibly and said:
"Mom, I know! You should go to bed early too!"
"it is good!"
After a sleepless night, Aunt Zhang found Pei Zhixiu the next morning and reported carefully:
"Your Majesty, some news circulated in the palace last night..."
Although she didn't know what Aunt Zhang was going to say, seeing how cautious she was, Pei Zhixiu knew that this must not be good news. However, she thought a lot that night and made some necessary preparations, so at this time Pei Zhixiu also instructed Aunt Zhang:
"Just say whatever you want to say!"
After getting Pei Zhixiu's permission, Aunt Zhang also plucked up the courage to say:
"Your Majesty, the news from the palace is that Wang Xiaocui, Yang Song, and Liu Ying have all confessed to the crime in the Inner Court!"
It is said that Liu Ying reported this matter to Your Majesty, and she also asked Your Majesty to promise to help her solve this matter!"
Pei Zhixiu couldn't help but frown after hearing this, but she was not too surprised. She knew very well what the Inner Court was. What's more, she knew even more clearly that this time An Miaoyi made such a big fuss, it was impossible that she was just targeting Liu Ying, the palace maid!
The Queen Daqian will definitely find a way to involve herself. Pei Zhixiu had already thought of this last night!
At this time, Aunt Zhang looked at Pei Zhixiu with a frown on her face, and couldn't help but follow suit and speak angrily:
"You are usually so kind to Liu Ying, but I didn't expect that Liu Ying would actually want to drag you down with her. She is such a heartless person!"
After saying this, Aunt Zhang saw that Pei Zhixiu did not respond, so she quietly observed Pei Zhixiu's expression and then spoke with concern:
“Your Majesty, please don’t blame me for being too talkative, but I think that judging from the current situation, if you allow Liu Ying to continue talking nonsense, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to Your Majesty…”
Listening to what Aunt Zhang said, Pei Zhixiu glanced at her and said:
"You mean I should go find the Queen?" Faced with Pei Zhixiu's emotionless question, Aunt Zhang couldn't figure out her master's true thoughts, and said after a moment of hesitation:
"The Queen is the head of the harem, and this matter is entirely up to her to decide. If this matter can be understood by the Queen, then even if Liu Ying is so crazy as to throw dirty water on you, it will be in vain!"
Pei Zhixiu nodded slightly when he heard this:
"You have a point!"
As soon as these words came out, a hint of joy appeared in Aunt Zhang's eyes, and then she said respectfully:
"These are just some of my humble opinions. If they can be of any help to you, my lady, I will be very satisfied!"
"Madam Zhang, you are so loyal!"
"It is a lifetime blessing for me to be able to serve a kind-hearted master like you, my lady!"
"In that case, please help me prepare. I will go to the Queen's residence in a while and explain the situation to her!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Nanny Zhang immediately turned around and left the room, completely unaware of Pei Zhixiu's deep gaze behind her.
Half an hour later, Pei Zhixiu came to An Miaoyi's residence, but the Queen Daqian was not there at this time. The nanny in charge told Pei Zhixiu that Queen An Miaoyi had gone to the Queen Mother to report on the progress of Furen Palace.
As for when An Miaoyi would come back, she, as the nanny, had no idea·················
Pei Zhixiu didn't know if it was really such a coincidence or if An Miaoyi was deliberately making things difficult for her, but compared to going home and coming back another day, staying here and waiting for An Miaoyi to return was undoubtedly a better choice!
Just after Pei Zhixiu had waited for an hour, An Miaoyi finally returned. Seeing Pei Zhixiu's appearance, the Queen of Daqian was very enthusiastic.
"Ji Xiu, why didn't you inform me in advance? I happened to go to the Queen Mother's place today to report the progress of Furen Palace to her. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. The Queen Mother pays special attention to Furen Palace and asked a lot of questions. Otherwise, I would have come back a long time ago!"
Although Pei Zhixiu felt like vomiting because of the hypocritical smile on An Miaoyi's face, she still had to appear humble on the surface and said a few polite words.
At this moment, An Miaoyi was as warm and friendly as she was last night when facing Ye Mingsheng, but she seemed to have no idea why Pei Zhixiu came, and kept talking to Pei Zhixiu about this and that.
She even complained to Pei Zhixiu, saying how Jingren was so playful and disobedient, and that it would be great if he could be half as well-behaved and obedient as Jingxuan.
At first, Pei Zhixiu wanted to see how long An Miaoyi could perform, so she chatted with An Miaoyi. However, after half an hour, An Miaoyi was still talking nonsense and had no intention of talking about the business. Pei Zhixiu had to admit defeat and took the initiative to speak:
"My Queen, I came here this time because I have something to tell you."
Seeing Pei Zhixiu couldn't help but feel a little proud, but on the surface she pretended to know nothing and asked:
"Jisu, what's up?"
Seeing that An Miaoyi was determined to play dumb to the end, Pei Zhixiu was helpless but had no other choice but to repeat the Liu Ying incident to An Miaoyi.
Among them, Pei Zhixiu also emphasized that she only learned about the existence of this matter from Liu Ying when Nanny Cao came to arrest people yesterday. Before that, Liu Ying had never mentioned it to her, and she was completely unaware of it!
