Ye Li's jade face blushed slightly. Ever since they reunited in Yonglin City, she and Mo Xiuyao were always a bit strange when they interacted. Usually, she didn't think too much about it when there was something to do, but when it was quiet, it always made her feel uncomfortable. She wasn't some wooden block that didn't understand romance. Ever since that kiss outside Shattering Snow Pass, she naturally understood that the two of them were no longer close friends like before. But when facing Mo Xiuyao, she couldn't bring out the freedom and casualness that she had when she was in love in her previous life. This kind of uncontrollable emotion made her feel some annoyance towards Mo Xiuyao. Mo Xiuyao seemed to understand her feelings and didn't provoke her too much. But when the two of them interacted in private, they were more intimate and gentle than before.
"How are Qing Luan and Qing Yu? Can you let them out? "Ye Li tilted her head and asked in a low voice.
Mo Xiuyao smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Not letting them out is for their safety. Now that you've safely returned, it's naturally fine. I'll let them out later. "
Returning to her own courtyard, Qing Luan and Qing Yu's complexions were really good. It seemed that no one had made things difficult for them in these two months. Qing Xia and Qing Shuang were also busy surrounding Ye Li, giving her tonics and new clothes as if she had suffered greatly outside. Ye Li was helpless and could only let the servant girls busy themselves. When they calmed down a little, she sent Qing Xia and Qing Shuang away, leaving only Qing Yu and Qing Luan in front of her.
"Nubi has been negligent. Wang fei, please punish." The room quieted down and Qing Yu and Qing Luan both knelt down.
"Rise." Ye Li frowned and looked at the two, asking, "Have you been well these two months?" Qing Yu and Qing Luan couldn't help but wipe their tears. Qing Luan nodded repeatedly and said, "We are fine, but we are very worried about the princess … If anything happens to the princess, we won't have the face to see the old master and the eldest master even if we die ten thousand times." Seeing the obvious joy and relief on their faces, Ye Li also understood that these two girls had been worried for the past two months. She sighed softly and said, "What are you hiding? I understand Prince's temperament. You are my people. If you didn't hide something from me, he wouldn't have put you under house arrest for the past two months. Is it inconvenient to tell Prince, or is it something you can't even tell me? "
The two of them couldn't help but glance at each other. They looked at Ye Li with hesitation in their eyes. Ye Li didn't rush them. She just looked at them indifferently. After a long while, Qing Yu looked at Ye Li and finally made up her mind. She said, "We servants … have indeed failed in our duties. Actually … this servant had already left Yaohua Palace before the fire. After that, Qing Luan also left in order to save this servant. So, after the fire in Yaohua Palace, the Shadow Guard couldn't find us. "Ye Li nodded," Then … where did you go? "
"This servant saw a person, so I followed." Qing Yu whispered.
"This servant heard Qing Yu's scream and followed." Qing Luan continued.
Ye Li frowned, "Who did you see?"
Qing Yu whispered, "Su Zuidie, and … Prince."
"Su Zuidie and Prince?" Ye Li blinked in surprise, "You mean you saw Su Zuidie and Prince together in the palace, so you followed them? Are you sure you saw Su Zuidie? " Qing Yu lowered her head and thought for a while, "This servant has seen the painting of Chu Jing Country sent by others at the wedding of Prince and Princess. It is at least seventy to eighty percent similar to the woman in the painting. There are not many people who look so beautiful even in the palace. And Your Highness … Your Highness, that is why this servant … "
Ye Li nodded slightly. She understood why these two girls had been unwilling to tell the truth to Mo Xiuyao. "So, you saw Prince meeting a woman who looked very similar to Su Zuidie in the palace, and it happened that Yaohua Palace was on fire and I was missing, so you deliberately concealed it and refused to tell him the truth." Qing Yu bit her lip and nodded.
Ye Li thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought … if Prince's legs were inconvenient at that time, wouldn't it be too eye-catching to meet a woman in the palace? With Prince's martial arts, he shouldn't let you get too close. If you didn't get close, how can you be sure that the person you saw was Su Zuidie and Prince? "Qing Yu said," This servant is not sure whether that woman is Su Zuidie or not. But the man's voice is definitely Prince's. " Ye Li frowned. She knew about Qing Yu's hearing. Qing Yu's hearing was very good since she was a child, even better than Qing Luan who practiced martial arts since childhood. As long as she heard the voice once, she would never forget it, not to mention that she saw Mo Xiuyao every day.
"Then what about Qing Luan?"
"This servant heard Qing Yu's scream. Although Qing Yu knows how to use poison, she doesn't know martial arts, so this servant immediately rushed over. But as soon as she saw Qing Yu's back, she fainted. "
Qing Yu frowned and said, "This servant heard that Prince was indeed shocked and then knocked out. But … it was just a very low voice, it was impossible to alarm Qing Luan. "
Ye Li smiled and said, "You guys have worked hard these past two months. Tell me, what do you think?"
The two couldn't help but look at each other. Qing Luan carefully glanced at Ye Li before saying, "This servant … this servant didn't think anything …"
Qing Yu said, "This servant suspected … Prince and someone … then heard that Princess was missing, so …"
Ye Li smiled and said, "So you suspect that Prince and others conspired to kill me?"
Qing Yu's face turned red. Qing Luan stared at Qing Yu with her eyes wide open, looking frightened. Ye Li understood that what they said should be true. After all, Qing Luan and Qing Yu lived separately in these two months. There was no chance to see each other at all. The secret guards had also found them from different places. Unless they had made a confession before the secret guards found them, there was nothing they could say about the two of them. These two months, Qing Luan was very quiet. It was just that in the beginning, she cried every day. On the contrary, Qing Yu, who had always been quiet, always tried to escape and was always hostile to the people in the Wangfu. If it was because Qing Yu saw Mo Xiuyao and Qing Luan didn't see him, it would make sense.
After thinking for a while, Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand. Qing Yu, don't mention this matter again in the future. I believe in Prince, understand? "
Qing Yu frowned slightly and wanted to say something. Ye Li said faintly, "Sometimes, what you hear with your ears may not be the truth. Have you ever thought that if it was really Prince, with Prince's meticulous mind, would he appear in the palace on the day he knew that I entered the palace? In addition, the biggest flaw is that all of you are still alive. You were knocked unconscious because you found out about Prince. Then … forget about Qing Luan, why are you still safe and sound until now? This is the Ding Palace. If His Highness wants to silence people, not to mention all of you, even I, the Princess Consort, would not be able to escape. Do you understand? "Qing Yu's face turned pale," Princess Consort's meaning is ….. "
Qing Luan was puzzled and said, "If the other party wants to sow discord, does he know that the Princess is fine in the fire?"
