Chapter 230 Questioning
Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou felt more and more unhappy. She frowned and looked up and down at He Xiang and Lian Xiang who were standing beside her with dissatisfaction in her eyes. The displeasure in her heart became more and more intense.
Suddenly, Qi Wuyou stood up from his seat abruptly as if stimulated by something, and deliberately bumped Lianxiang and Hexiang hard, causing them to stagger.
She held her temples and said in a sarcastic tone, "Who knows what you two are doing behind my back? Anyway, I treat you as my good sisters and I can't do anything to you."
After saying this, Qi Wuyou pretended to be as weak as Lin Daiyu, covered her chest, and said in a sad tone, "But, it was a mistake after all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Wuyou pinched her handkerchief, lifted her skirt, and ran away quickly with light steps.
Mei Xue, who was standing by the side, also stood up quickly. She glanced at Lian Xiang and He Xiang, but finally chose to remain silent. She followed Qi Wuyou away, still shouting, "My queen, wait for me."
He Xiang and Lian Xiang looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
They hurriedly caught up and pushed Mei Xue away from Qi Wuyou.
They supported Qi Wuyou on both sides and asked in unison: "My queen, what's wrong with you? Is it because we didn't do something good enough that made you unhappy? You can tell us and we will definitely correct it!"
Qi Wuyou stopped and turned to look at them, her eyes full of resentment. She twisted her handkerchief in her hands, as if expressing her grievances and dissatisfaction.
"How dare you ask me? I treat you like sisters, but you are hiding something from me!"
There was a hint of crying in her voice, which made people feel pity for her.
The confusion on He Xiang and Lian Xiang's faces did not seem fake. They widened their eyes and looked at Qi Wuyou innocently, "Madam, we really don't know what you are talking about!"
Qi Wuyou snorted coldly, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "Don't think I don't know, you must be hiding something from me! Tell me now!"
Her tone was firm and resolute, so He Xiang and Lian Xiang did not dare to refute easily.
He Xiang and Lian Xiang looked at each other helplessly, groaning in their hearts.
They really couldn't understand when their queen had become so smart that she could actually detect that they were hiding something.
But the Queen has already found out and is now beginning to suspect them.
If they continue to conceal it, the queen might be unhappy. So should they tell the queen the truth?
But without His Majesty's order, they dare not speak carelessly! After all, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If you are not careful, you will be implicated and may even lose your life.
"Your Majesty," Lianxiang sighed and said earnestly, "We do have secrets, but your majesty forbids us to tell them. We don't intend to hide them from you."
He Xiang echoed, "Yes, yes, Madam, we have been with you since you entered the palace. Do you still not trust us?"
Lianxiang and Hexiang couldn't help but applaud their own cleverness. As long as they put all the responsibility on His Majesty, the Queen wouldn't blame them!
This pitiful tone made Qi Wuyou choke, and his original anger instantly dissipated, replaced by deep helplessness.
Yes, Lianxiang and Hexiang are just two little maids, how dare they disobey Xuan Yelan’s orders?
Qi Wuyou knew very well that there was no point in questioning them here.
The only person who should really explain to her is Xuan Yelan.
So, she no longer hesitated and walked towards the imperial study angrily.
Along the way, her steps became faster and faster, and the anger in her heart became more and more intense.
She wanted to ask Xuan Yelan face to face why she had hidden these things from her? Was she really so untrustworthy?
Seeing Qi Wuyou so excited, Lianxiang and Hexiang hurriedly followed and tried to hold her back.
But Qi Wuyou ignored their calls and walked straight to the imperial study.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that she had been greatly deceived.
She decided that she must find Xuan Yelan today to ask him clearly. No matter what the result was, she had to get an answer.
When they arrived at the door of the imperial study, Liu He saw Qi Wuyou coming and hurried to greet him.
He had a flattering smile on his face: "Your Highness, it is unfortunate that you came to see His Majesty. His Majesty is talking to someone. When His Majesty is done, how about I ask His Majesty to go to Fengyi Palace to find you?"
If Liu He had said this in the past, Qi Wuyou would have definitely gone back home, but today Qi Wuyou wouldn't listen.
Her mind was in a mess and she only wanted to see the emperor as soon as possible, not caring about anything else.
But now she thought that she might not be able to control Lianxiang and Hexiang, so she simply waved her hand and asked Meixue to stop Liuhe.
Mei Xue immediately understood what Qi Wuyou meant, stepped forward, put her hands on her waist beside Qi Wuyou, and said to Liu He: "The Queen wants to see His Majesty, don't block the way!"
Liu He naturally didn't dare to offend Qi Wuyou, but he didn't dare to let Qi Wuyou disturb the emperor, so he still wanted to stop her: "Your Majesty, it's really not possible..."
However, before he could finish his words, Mei Xue interrupted him impatiently: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up!"
Having said that, Mei Xue got straight to work.
She pushed Liu He aside, then turned to Qi Wuyou and shouted, "My queen, don't worry, I will stop him."
Qi Wuyou nodded and felt that Mei Xue was really a reliable girl.
Just as she was about to move forward, Lianxiang and Hexiang jumped out from the side and blocked her way.
The two said in unison: "My Lady, His Majesty is busy, let's go back first."
Qi Wuyou didn't listen. He glanced at them. The two men felt nervous and thought to themselves, "It seems that the queen is determined to ask His Majesty for clarification today."
The two of them have followed Qi Wuyou for a long time and have some understanding of Qi Wuyou's temper.
Seeing this, they tactfully stepped aside.
Qi Wuyou walked to the door and was about to push it open, but suddenly she changed her mind. If she just calmly pushed the door open and walked in, would Xuan Yelan think she was easy to fool?
So she changed her mind decisively and kicked the door hard.
However, because the door was locked, not only did she fail to kick it open, but she was bounced back by the reaction force and almost fell to the ground.
Lianxiang was quick to act and quickly gave Hexiang a wink.
He Xiang understood what he meant and immediately stretched out her hands to cover Liu He's eyes.
Lianxiang quickly walked to the door of the imperial study and kicked the bolt off.
Qi Wuyou coughed twice, then pushed open the door without hesitation and strode in.
Xuan Yelan was reading a book at this time. Suddenly, Qi Wuyou rushed in angrily, which made him feel a little surprised.
Qi Wuyou knew he was pretending because he was holding the book upside down.
"Your two maids are hiding something from me. Are you hiding something from me too?" Qi Wuyou walked straight to Xuan Yelan and questioned him bluntly.
