Chapter 261 Who ordered you to sprinkle powder on me?

Mu Fengyan just looked at him coldly, and when she saw that the person was almost frightened, she said, "Who ordered you to sprinkle powder on me?"

The palace maid's eyes widened in disbelief. How did the young lady find out? She did it so secretly, and the powder was colorless and odorless.

Mu Xiu immediately understood the intention of the palace maid, and moved the sword in her hand to the neck. The skin on the palace maid's neck had been cut, and blood seeped out.

The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please spare my life, miss. I am also being threatened. If I don't do this, I will die."

Mu Fengyan's voice was cold, "If you don't tell me, you will still die."

The palace maid began to hesitate in her eyes. Whether she said it or not, her life would be lost. Should she say it?

Mu Fengyan didn't give her a chance to think about it, "Mu Xiu."

"Yes, miss." Mu Xiu pretended to slash with his sword.

The palace maid looked at the sword so close and was so frightened that she no longer hesitated and said hurriedly,

"Miss, the slave said, the slave said that a palace maid found the slave, gave the slave a packet of medicine powder, and asked the slave to find a way to sprinkle it on the miss. The slave was unwilling at first, so she threatened the slave with a knife and gave the slave one to eat. A poison. If you don't do what she says, the slave will be poisoned to death. If it succeeds, she will give the slave the antidote. You don't want to die so you take the risk. Miss, everything the slave says is true."

Mu Fengyan's voice became even colder, "Do you know who that palace maid is?"

"I don't know her. When I hurried over this morning, I accidentally saw her walking out of the princess's tent."

"Do you know which princess it is?"

"I don't know which princess's tent this slave is. I only came here when arranging the items in the tent. The princess tent is different from the tents of the official ladies. She came out of the penultimate one with the symbol of the princess tent." Yes, the lady's tent is easier to find, she is the first among the official ladies."

Mu Fengyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and as she expected, who else could be there besides Chu Shuyao.

When the palace maid saw that Mu Fengyan was still silent, she felt even more frightened, "Miss, everything I say is true and I am not deceitful. Please let me go, I have no choice but to do so."

Mu Xiu was angry, "You have no choice but to harm my young lady? If something happens to my young lady, do you think you can still survive?"

"There's nothing I can do about it, slave."

Mu Fengyan glanced at the palace maid who was crying uncontrollably on the ground, and said, "Okay, let's go."

The palace maid was overjoyed, "Miss, are you really letting me go?"

"Well, let's go."

"Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss."

"I can let you go, but don't say you have seen me when you go out. If anyone asks, you can tell me that you have been to the princess of Xiyou Kingdom's tent. Remember? Otherwise, I will kill you now."

Although the palace maid was puzzled, it was important to save her life, "Thank you, miss. I will remember this."

The palace maid rolled and crawled out of the tent.
