Chapter 553: Settling Old Score
Shen Qingluan's teeth were almost broken.
She didn't believe that any woman could surpass her in appearance!
Was the prince blind? He couldn't see that she, Shen Qingluan, was actually in love with a peasant girl!
Somehow, Shen Qingluan suddenly thought of Gu Fei. If she was the one with outstanding appearance, could it be her?
She narrowed her eyes, "Is that peasant girl's surname Gu?"
The maid nodded, "She is surnamed Gu. Just now, the prince said that he would not marry anyone but Miss Gu."
Shen Qingluan's face was distorted, "It was her!"
"No wonder I didn't like her when I saw her. I didn't expect that it was a lowly peasant girl who disturbed my marriage!"
Otherwise, she might have been the prince's consort now!
She remembered that day at the Luan Garden Poetry Meeting, she clearly asked the maid to take the bitch to the Tiger Garden. Later, because the princess refused the marriage, she was hit hard and forgot to ask the girl.
The girl is still in Luan Garden, taking care of the tigers.
Shen Qingluan said coldly, "Go, get Jiuer from Luan Garden and call her here. I have something to ask her."
In less than an hour, Jiuer was brought here.
She knelt in the room without daring to breathe, and heard Shen Qingluan say, "Didn't I ask you to take Miss Gu to the Tiger Garden on the day of the Luan Garden Poetry Festival? How did you do it?
It's been almost half a year since this happened. Jiuer originally thought that Shen Qingluan had forgotten about it and she had escaped. She didn't want to mention it again today. She trembled and replied, "I did take Miss Gu to the Tiger Garden that day."
"Not only did I take her to the Tiger Garden, I also pushed her into that room, then locked the door and ran away."
"Who knows, who knows, later I saw Miss Gu appear again intact!"
Shen Qingluan snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool? How could a girl like her survive after entering the Tiger Garden? "
"When I saw that bitch that day, her face was not red, she was not out of breath, and her hair was not messy. Did she look like she ran away from the tiger park?"
Jiu'er was shaking on the ground, "I swear to heaven, I am not lying at all."
Shen Qingluan said casually: "I don't care whether you are telling the truth or not, anyway, you didn't do the job I asked you to do."
"Drag her away and give her twenty strokes of the board! "
Two maids dragged Jiuer out. Jiuer was limp all over and didn't even dare to beg for mercy.
There was a dull sound of a board outside. Shen Qingluan sat in the room and narrowed her eyes. Miss Gu, you will come in sooner or later. I will punish you to death when the time comes!

On the other hand, Eunuch Liu returned to the official post with a gloomy face.
Zheng Wan heard the noise and quickly sent the maid out to inquire.
Eunuch Liu said unhappily: "Let your girl rest for a while. The prince is unwilling to accept the order. I don't know what to do now."
The maid went back to the room and told Eunuch Liu what he said. Zheng Wan felt like being splashed with a bucket of cold water from head to toe.
She trembled all over, "How is it possible? That is the order of the Queen Mother. How can I not accept it? "
The maid couldn't give an answer either, so she stood silently by the side.
Zheng Wan sat by the bed and shed tears.
Eunuch Liu returned to his room, thinking again and again. It would be easy if he returned to Beijing to report to the Queen, but what about Miss Zheng?
Although she is an orphan, she is nominally the Queen's sister. You can't just leave her alone in the official post.
Eunuch Liu thought about it and wrote down the details of today's imperial edict. He put it in an envelope, then asked the postman for wax to seal it, and handed the letter to the postmaster, "Order someone to send it back to the capital and give it to the Queen."
