Mingzhu stayed at the door for a while before adjusting the expression on her face and entering the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhuyin carrying water to the dormitory.

"Sister Zhuyin. Mingzhu hurriedly stepped forward: "This water is heavy, I'll help you carry it together." ”

Zhuyin looked at Mingzhu and nodded with a smile: "Okay, are you going to the imperial dining room?"

"Yes. Mingzhu responded: "I got up early this morning, and when I got up and saw that the princess hadn't gotten up yet, I thought about going to the imperial dining room to bring breakfast for the princess first." If you go late, you have less choice. ”

"That's just as well. ”

Zhuyin and Mingzhu entered the dormitory together, Mingzhu lowered her head and put the food box on the table, and then raised her eyes to glance at Tingxi and Shen Yunqing.

The hand clenched violently in the sleeve, and then slowly released again.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid had something to say to the princess. ”

Shen Yunqing was slightly stunned, raised her eyes to look at Mingzhu, and saw that Mingzhu's face was tense, and she seemed to be a little nervous, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Mingzhu bit her lip and glanced to both sides out of the corner of her eye.

Shen Yunqing looked at it with a look in his eyes, remembering what Ting Xi said before, and pondered for a moment before he said to Ting Xi and Zhuyin: "You guys go down first." ”

Tingxi and Zhuyin looked at each other, bowed their heads in response, and retreated.

"Well, in this hall, there is no one else except you and me, and you can say whatever you want. ”

Shen Yunqing's voice was about to fall, and Mingzhu suddenly knelt down: "The slave is guilty, the slave betrayed the princess, and asked the princess to forgive her sins." ”

Although he had already guessed before, Shen Yunqing was still a little surprised to see Mingzhu like this.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Between admitting her mistakes and waiting for her, and finding another backer, Mingzhu chose the former?

"Betrayed me?" Shen Yunqing lowered his eyes: "Why did you betray me?"

"Previously, Mr. Liu selected the slave maid and asked the slave maid to serve the princess. On the second day after the slave maid arrived in this Yunhua Temple, someone found the slave and maid. She said that she was the queen's mother, and asked the slave maid if she was willing to do things for the queen's mother. ”

At that time, the man threatened the slave's family, but the slave and maid did not dare to disobey, so they could only agree. The slave maid felt at that time that the queen mother was the queen, the master of the harem, and the queen mother of the princess, and she would definitely not harm the princess. ”

Mingzhu bit her lip, her hand kept holding the hem of her skirt, and every word was said with great difficulty.

"On that day, the chrysanthemum banquet was instructed by the queen to remind the princess to change her clothes when the princess went out, and to change them into the clothes given to the princess by the concubine. ”

"That's what the queen told the slave and maid that was what the queen had come to command. It is a little inappropriate to say that the princess participated in the queen's banquet and only wore palace clothes. The slave thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the same, so she reminded the princess according to the instructions over there. ”

"The slave really didn't know that that the clothes and jewelry would cause so many troubles later. ”

Mingzhu lowered her eyes, with a panic on her face: "After the slave heard that it was the hairpin that accident, she was terrified day and night. It's just that I'm still comforting myself in my heart, maybe it's not the hairpin's problem. Until yesterday, the slave maid heard that the queen mother was sent to the cold palace because she used cold food to frame the princess......"

Only then did the slave know that the queen really wanted to harm the princess. It's true, it's the use of slaves. ”

"The slave maid thought about it all night last night, and still felt that although the slave and maid had done something wrong inadvertently, they were acting for the tiger. But if the slave and maid do not admit it, and do not make it clear to the princess, it is really difficult to have a good conscience. ”

Mingzhu bit her lip, her eyes were slightly red: "Although there is a reason for the incident, it is also true that the slave maid did something wrong and caused the princess to almost have an accident." The slave and maid were guilty, and asked the princess to punish them. ”

Shen Yunqing had thought in her eyes: "The queen threatened you?"

"Yes. Mingzhu bit her lip: "There are still elderly grandmothers and younger brothers in the slave's family, and the queen mother threatened the slave and maid, saying that if the slave and maid do not obey, the lives of the grandmother and younger brother will not be guaranteed." If the slave is willing to obey her instructions, then she will send someone to take care of the slave and the maid's family. ”

"Then after you promise to come down, the only thing the queen will tell you is this one?"

"Yes. Mingzhu nodded: "Because the slave maid is not the person who waits by the princess's side, the queen mother probably knows that there are not many things that the slave and maid can do, and the slave and maid have not been in Yunhua Hall for a long time, so the queen mother only ordered such a thing." ”

"But ......" Mingzhu lowered her head: "But the queen's mother has a warning, saying that if the princess has anything abnormal, report it to her at any time." ”

Shen Yunqing bowed his head lightly: "Okay, I know." ”

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, as if she was a little incredulous: "Princess...... The princess doesn't punish the slaves?"

"Knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, and I am naturally happy that you can honestly explain to me. It's just that I'm not a kind person, just this once, not an example. ”

"The people I hate most are those who betray me. This time I can forgive you because you don't know if you don't understand, but next time, I will never let it go so easily. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Mingzhu's back was already faintly sweaty, and she hurriedly saluted Shen Yunqing: "Thank you, princess, don't worry, the princess will obey the princess's order in the future." If anyone wants to ask the slave to do something, the slave and the maid will definitely report to the princess as soon as possible. ”

"That's it. Shen Yunqing waved his hand: "Okay, that's it, what to do and what to do." ”

"Yes. ”

After Mingzhu retreated, Tingxi and Zhuyin Fang walked in.

"Princess, that pearl, is here to confess to the princess?"

The corners of Shen Yunqing's mouth hooked: "Yes, I'm here to accuse." Her appearance was a bit unexpected to me. I thought that with her great ambition, she would not want to serve me, a powerless princess. ”

However, an accusation is an accusation, and how true her promise is, but she doesn't know it. Shen Yunqing stood up: "You guys keep an eye on it, if she is really sincere and repentant and doesn't make any small moves, then you can also leave her to serve in this courtyard." ”

"Yes. ”

Shen Yunqing had breakfast and stayed in the hall to read.

After lunch, Shen Yunqing was about to take a lunch break, but he heard An Ren lower his voice outside the door: "Princess, slave An Ren, ask to see the princess." ”

"Come in. ”

An Ren walked in quickly from outside the hall, and knelt down as soon as he entered the hall: "Princess, something happened to Concubine Xian." ”

Shen Yunqing was stunned suddenly: "What?

"What's wrong?"
