The villain is being forced to whitewash again

The attendant got Yueqiong's answer, answered yes, then turned around and left the room where there were only two people left.

Jinchun's mind was in a mess, and three big question marks almost appeared on his head. The normally clever ghost rolled his eyes, and then sneaked a glance at the man who was already sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at his makeup. Moon Joan.

It can be said that there are thousands of thoughts in a moment, but I just can't figure out the truth.

Before taking back the vision from the corner of her eye, Yue Qiong said casually: "Come here quickly, pick a hairpin to match my outfit today, the smaller the jade, the better."

"Yes." Jinchun hurried over, absent-minded when choosing the various hairpins in the box, and carefully tested Yueqiong who was admiring her beautiful face in the bronze mirror.

"Madam, why did you think of changing your style today? Isn't the more expensive the better usually?"

Yueqiong glanced at her, "What do you know? You don't have to bite your tongue if you talk too much, do your part before you speak."

Jinchun was terrified, and his light and fluttering criticism was like a leather whip soaked in chili oil, and the pain on his back was torn apart. Yueqiong is not a good talker, she knows this very well.

He made a decisive decision, and immediately slapped himself heavily on the cheek. The red mark was obvious but he didn't take it seriously, and smiled flatteringly: "This slave is talking too much, so just obediently do your part, madam, look at this one." How about the hosta with pear blossoms and rain?"

Yueqiong didn't care about the red marks on Jinchun's face at all, she just raised her eyes to look at the hairpin, turned her neck left and right in front of the bronze mirror, and said with satisfaction: "It's a bit interesting, let me put it first, and then pick two hairpins for me." earring."

"Okay, the servant opened her eyes and watched carefully, she must have dressed up the lady younger and more beautiful."

The flattery that Jinchun uttered was almost too sweet, but it coaxed Yueqiong into a happy mood, and Jinchun finally passed the threshold with a sigh of relief.

However, she still didn't understand what Yueqiong was thinking. In the past, when she heard that Zhao Yuan was coming to visit, her face was filled with impatience. out.

Why did you change your temper today and become more interested in his visit?

Suddenly, he remembered what the attendant said - Zhao Yuan brought a guest named Qin Shi... Is it because the lady named Qin Shi is coming?

She murmured in her heart, is this Qin so capable?It actually caught Madam's attention.

Recalling the half-smile that was not a smile just now, she felt a chill all over her body. The lady's smiling face clearly planned to design a dangerous Hongmen banquet to entertain them. It seems that they have a hard time to taste today.

But here, the attendant had already walked outside the gate, and said to Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan who had been waiting here not long ago, "Please, both of you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan couldn't help being a little suspicious. It was strange that Yueqiong opened the door so easily without making things difficult for them.

Shouldn't the normal operation be deliberately letting them wait outside for two hours, waking up lazily from the bed after glancing at the sun outside the window when it almost fell, and then let the maid slowly dress up for themselves before finally agreeing to sit down? The chair is playing with the old man's temperament, drinking tea without even looking at them who have been waiting for a long time?

He raised his head and looked at the birds that occasionally flapped their wings and flew past in the sky. He was right, they did not fly upside down, so he was really awake and not dreaming?It feels even more unreal...

Suspicion is suspicion, finally got the opportunity to save time, Zhao Yuan still chose to face the difficulties.

He and Qin Shi walked in together under the leadership of the attendants in front.

In fact, I have been here many times, and my thoughts automatically become a map, and I even know what kind of bird is nesting in which tree.

There is no way, he was basically busy with life affairs in the previous two months, and was driven out of the gate impatiently by Yueqiong's handmaid Jinchun every now and then.

Thinking of this, he lamented that his confidant was so thick-skinned that he almost reached the city wall, but in comparison, Qin Shi had never been here before, so it could be said that he was very strange.

Qin Shi looked at the surrounding scenery. The place where Yueqiong lived was indeed very generous and beautiful. At first glance, it was carefully designed by professionals. Even Bei Gongchen's residence was not as well-arranged as here.

Obviously what Zhao Yuan said was not adulterated. The prince did love Yueqiong very much during his lifetime, far surpassing his own daughter. Die this woman who stole the limelight.

Jinchun has been waiting at the entrance of the hall for a long time, her attitude is not respectful, the impatience in her eyes cannot be concealed, I don't know how many times I have seen Zhao Yuan in the past two months, the memory of driving him out with my own hands reminds me I feel upset when I wake up.

But when she saw Qin beside Zhao Yuan, she couldn't help being in a daze.

Since she was born, she has never been in the arena, and she doesn't know anything about martial arts, so she doesn't know how terrifying the former demon sect leader who disturbs the arena as soon as she leaves the customs.

But this shallow cognition does not prevent her from feeling a completely different aura from the other party.

Just like the strong warning that comes out of the brain immediately when a wild animal encounters a natural enemy, at this moment, her brain is also crazily shouting to run!

Jin Chun stood dumbfounded, terrified when Qin Shi glanced at her inadvertently, and immediately lowered his head, only daring to stare at his own toes, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.

When Qin Shi and Zhao Yuan passed by and walked into the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, touched her neck and it was wet, and in just a few seconds just now there was something that even she noticed. Not many cold sweats.

I don't know why I suddenly behaved like this, but I just vaguely feel that the person beside Zhao Yuan seems to be extremely dangerous, a terrifying figure that ordinary people like them can't touch.

At this time, she really didn't dare to enter the room, fear forced her to deeply resist seeing each other, and she didn't want to be oppressed by that terrifying aura, but she was Yueqiong's personal maid, so she had to wait on her side.

There was no other way but to go in, bite the bullet and hold tea, and made tea for Zhao Yuan and Qin Shi successively, of course, without exception, they kept their heads down throughout the process.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan felt baffled, how could this maid who always showed her disdain for her suddenly become so cute and sensible today?Could it be that he accidentally bumped into a pillar and smashed his head?

Even ordinary people like Jinchun sensed the sense of crisis looming every step of the way, but Yueqiong still took a sip of tea calmly like a normal person, her posture was still elegant and generous without showing a little panic.

"I heard that the princess specially invited a distinguished guest to the mansion. Presumably this guest is sitting next to Zhao Yuan, right? May I ask your name?"

Qin Shi said lightly, "Qin Shi."

"I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere..." Yueqiong murmured to herself with a puzzled expression, then suddenly turned her head and asked Jinchun who was at the side.

"Jinchun, do you know?"

Originally standing by the side silently, but suddenly being called by name, Jin Chun was stuck in a daze and couldn't react at once.

How could she know Qin Shi's identity as a little maidservant who stayed in the mansion all day long, but now she was stared at by three pairs of eyes at the same time and stammered: "...The slavemaid is not too clear either."

Yueqiong sighed with a headache and said: "I am a person with a bad memory by nature, and I never take some unimportant things to heart. Please forgive me if I offend you."

Seeing Yueqiong's series of weird actions, Zhao Yuan couldn't help frowning, secretly thinking about the cunning of the other party.

Sure enough, I knew how it was possible to walk in so easily and meet each other. It turned out that they deliberately made things difficult for them were arranged later.

He doesn't know what kind of play he is singing at the moment, and he is angry when he knows it. Anyone with an IQ in the world knows how to ask a person who lives in seclusion every day if he has heard of someone he has never seen before. stupidity.

But Yueqiong did this stupid act, not ignorantly stupid but deliberately humiliating them.

Beigong Palace has long been covered with her eyeliner, and she knows all the movements in the mansion, otherwise, how could she know that Beigongchen specially invited a distinguished guest before he opened his mouth, and said that he forgot, I'm afraid He knew better than anyone else that this was clearly an attempt to give them a blow.

Zhao Yuan was too lazy to play Tai Chi with Yue Qiong, so he said straight to the point: "Mrs. Yue, we are here to visit this time just to ask about the day the prince was killed."

Yue Qiong curled her lips and said: "I have already said enough about the murder of the lord. I saw Fu Sheng running out of the lord's room in a panic that day, holding a bloody dagger in his hand. I was wrong, but the prince was killed that night, I have revealed everything I saw with my own eyes, is there anything unclear?"

Zhao Yuan said: "But..."

Yueqiong impatiently interrupted what Zhao Yuan hadn't finished speaking.

"Zhao Yuan, the lord is so kind to you. I thought you were loyal to the lord, but I didn't want to justify the murderer."

"The princess was confused by the murderer, and insisted on thinking that someone deliberately framed him, but you still chose to stand with them after seeing the conclusive evidence. Do you feel worthy of the prince's careful cultivation over the years! It's embarrassing People are disappointed."

Zhao Yuan was accused by Yueqiong righteously, and couldn't help explaining: "That's not the case, I..."

Yueqiong interrupted Zhao Yuan again, and said coldly: "What I said is clear enough, if you are still the same cliché as the previous few times, then please go back, I will not be persuaded by you to betray the prince Yes, the murderer must be severely punished!"

Zhao Yuan was choked to the point of difficulty, and under Yue Qiong's moral high ground, he became extremely disadvantaged, as if he had become an eternal sinner who sheltered criminals, and he had no chance to explain himself again, not only this time , the same next time.

Having lost the right to refute, he had no choice but to pray in his heart, hoping that Qin Shi beside him could break the round for him, at least not let this time go away empty-handed like every time before.

Qin Shi did speak in a timely manner as Zhao Yuan thought, but the words he asked were wrong, which surprised people.

"Mrs. Yue looks very young. She seems to be about the same age as Bei Gongchen. I don't know how old she is?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded, what the hell?Aren't we here to talk about something serious about the murder of the prince?As soon as I came up, I asked the age of my wife. Are you here to strike up a conversation?

Yue Qiong was obviously also taken aback by Qin Shi's sudden questioning, but she immediately reacted and smiled politely: "I'm indeed not much older than the princess. She is twenty this year, and I'm only 24."

Qin Shi continued to ask: "When I came in, I saw a pair of very beautiful embroidery on the table, was it Madam Yue who embroidered it herself?"

From talking about age to embroidery, Yueqiong had no idea what Qin Shi's purpose was.

This unpredictable way of dialogue made her frown slightly on her originally calm face, but as the host who mastered the rhythm, of course she couldn't let the atmosphere cool down, so she answered politely.

"I embroidered it. If I have nothing to do on weekdays, I just make a few pairs to kill some boring time."

Qin Shi said in surprise: "Looking at the embroidery, it is so exquisite and lifelike, as if butterflies would be attracted to it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yue is not only youthful and beautiful, but also ingenious. It is really admirable from the bottom of my heart."

Hearing these extremely flattering words, even though she was still wary of Qin Shi in her heart, Yue Qiong couldn't help but feel a little happy, symbolically evading, and the smile on the corner of her mouth revealed her inner joy.

"I'm sorry, it's just some time-passing gadgets that don't deserve such a reputation."

Qin Shi smiled and said, "Madam Yue is really too modest."

Zhao Yuan's face twitched slightly as he watched the polite words of you coming and going. He felt as if he had gone to the wrong set, and now he was visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year. No, do you remember the tit-for-tat scene just now?

He couldn't help but want to speak, to interrupt this homely conversation and bring the topic back on track, but he saw Qin Shi making a simple gesture to himself in a corner where Yueqiong couldn't see, stretching out his hand, Slightly swayed left and right a few times, and then turned around with only the index finger exposed.

Zhao Yuan's mouth that was about to speak froze instantly.

Although he couldn't understand sign language, he vaguely understood what Qin Shi was saying. It seemed that he was told to stop talking, otherwise the topic would return to the previous endless loop.

He understood, and he also knew that he could not be of much help by talking, but he was still very anxious, and he couldn't understand what Qin Shi was saying to Yueqiong with these insignificant words, talking about embroidery?dessert?How can this help the study of homicide?

But the situation at the moment cannot be asked directly in person, Zhao Yuan can only hold the words in his stomach.

Sullenly, he tilted his head up and poured himself cup after cup of tea, sitting aside and waiting for what Qin Shi was going to do, sighing and only hoped that he would not return in vain in the end.

Because it seemed daily to say what came to mind when talking, and Qin Shi's few words were mixed with praise, Yueqiong's initial vigilance gradually relaxed, and the corners of her mouth curled up more and more often.

After all, who in this world would hate compliments on themselves?

While chatting, Qin Shi suddenly asked something that seemed insignificant, and his tone sounded very casual.

"...From the moment I entered the gate, I felt that the design here is very exquisite. I have seen and been to Luoyan Mountain Villa, but it is not comparable. The prince must have invited the best people to design it, really. It hurts to the apex of my heart, I wonder when Madam Yue met the prince?"

Yueqiong didn't take this sentence to heart, and said quite proudly: "My lord and I met a year ago. At that time, my family was poor, and I had no father or money to bury my mother who died of illness, so I sold myself on the street to bury my mother." , if I didn't meet the prince, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen in the future."

"I'm also flattered by his kindness to me. I thought that he would become indifferent after a while, but he didn't want to be more fond of him. He often talked sweetly. It would be nice if we met earlier. He said it sincerely. Now that I think about it It’s also embarrassing.”

Qin Shi casually asked: "So that's the case, so does the lord know where Madam Yue lived with her mother since she was a child?"

Yue Qiong was getting carried away with her words, and subconsciously blurted out: "He knows that my mother and I live in Lianhua Village, which is far away from here."

As soon as the words came out, Yueqiong's expression stiffened instantly, and she settled on the chair as if bitten by a poisonous snake.

Qin Shi seemed to have gotten something extremely interesting, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Well, that's indeed quite far away..."

"But that was a long, long time ago. If I haven't gone back for a long time, maybe many people in the village have forgotten our mother and daughter." Yueqiong said again quickly, as if patching something.

Qin Shi didn't say anything after that, got up from the chair, smiled and said, "We seem to have delayed Mrs. Yue's time, so we won't bother you anymore."

The topic ended suddenly, and Qin Shi wanted to leave suddenly, which made Zhao Yuan completely confused, who hadn't heard anything clearly yet, and had no time to think about it, so he chased Qin Shi and left together.

He left a back view, but didn't realize that Yue Qiong, who was sitting on the chair behind her, was already turning blue.

When there were only two people left in the room, Jinchun thought about whether to prepare some refreshments for his master to while away the afternoon according to his usual habit, and asked, "Madam, you..."

Yueqiong suddenly scolded: "Get out!"

After finishing speaking, he angrily threw all the tea saucers on the table to the ground, his eyes were cold, his teeth bit his lip, and his lower lip was almost bleeding.

Jinchun was so frightened by this, he had never seen Mrs. Yue in such an evil spirit-like manner, and he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to come closer.

Yue Qiong whispered viciously: "Qin Shi..."
