Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 445

Liu Wenan gestured to the entrance of the palace. Then an old maid was escorted in by the guards. The princess Tai An's face darkened at the sight of the old woman. "What happened, brother? Why did Master. Liu arrest my madam? What did she do? Madam is..."

Xia Huanyu turned around and took a look at Princess Tai An. Startled, Princess Tai An tried to swallow her words that she hadn't finished.

"You want to know what I arrest her for?" Turning the jade ring on his thumb, Xia Huanyu said in a somewhat cold voice, "Madam Qi, tell us about what you did today, will you?"

Upon hearing this, madam Qi didn't panic at all. She got rid of the guards behind her, and touched her hair to make it perfect again. She coiled her hair into a bun, and then bowed to Xia Huanyu and opened her mouth. "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything today. I just found a ragged doll under her Highness' bed this morning when I cleaned Her Highness's bed. I saw a broken doll. I thought it looked old, so I cut it into pieces, took it out and threw it away."

Xia Huanyu then said in a even colder voice. "Did madam Qi find the needles on the doll when you cut it?"

"Yes, I found needles on it. I think it's a good idea to have the needle pricked in a doll's body when her highness are embroidery. So she won't get hurt by the needles." Said madam Qi as calmly as she could.

The Princess Tai An must have guessed that there must be something wrong in her palace by their conversation. Her face immediately turned pale. She hurried to explain to his majesty, "I'm sorry, your majesty. Madam Qi hasn't gone to school and hasn't seen any world. It's hard for her to tell the difference between a play doll and a witch doll."

The old maid fell her eyes on the Princess Tai An. She swept her gaze through the hall before she turned to look at the two witch dolls in Xia Huanyu's hand. Her face changed slightly at the sight of it. She pondered for a moment before she asked, "is that doll a gift from the emperor?" After a short pause, she bowed to Xia Huanyu and said, "it's all my fault, your majesty. The doll was old. I thought her highness always didn't like something shabby, so I cut it off. To my surprise, it was given to the princess by the emperor."

"Shut up, madam Qi." Princess Tai An cut her off immediately. She clutched the handkerchief nervously and looked up at Xia Huanyu quietly and secretly.

Yun Shang couldn't help but burst into laughter in her mind, 'Princess Tai An isn't a clever person, but she's a quick learner.' However, the old maid by her side was a smart woman who was neither humble nor anxious. She was really something. She saw the witch doll under the bed of Princess Tai An. And She knew it would be bad if the witch doll was found out by other people. So she cut the doll and tried to destroy the evidence. She didn't want it to be found. But unfortunately, she was still found out.

But she was not in a hurry at all when she was found. She even leisurely combed her hair. That was a poor excuse, but it was in line with her identity as an uneducated madam. When she noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the palace and that Xia Huanyu was still holding two witch dolls in his hand, she changed her mind immediately and acted as if she was really afraid and nervous as she cut off the gifts given by the emperor. She was really a quick witted woman and a perfect actress. After staring at madam Qi for a long time, Xia Huanyu smiled coldly at her for a while and said, "take her away.

"yes, your majesty," answered Liu Wenan, waving his hand at the guards. Then the guards went forward quickly to drag madam Qi away from the palace.
