Chapter 41: The Queen Mother's Handling (1)
Ye Zi explained what happened to the Sunny Sky Lord concisely and clearly, and then walked towards the place where the Sunny Sky Lord happened. It's just that I didn't expect the eldest princess to come with me.
Yezi's hands were clenched tightly, and his nails were digging hard into the flesh. She had never experienced this kind of thing, and she didn't know if the eldest princess would be bad for her young lady after she came.
After an anxious battle between the heavens and the humans, they had already arrived at the place they had just been. Seeing that his young lady was still beside Xiao Tao, Ye Zi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that there was a lot of cold sweat on his back.
"What's wrong?" The eldest princess walked in front of Bai Zhen'er and the Clear Sky County Lord first, and with just a glance, she probably understood what was going on, not to mention that the girl had said it just now.
"Her maid is rude to me, I just punish me with a small punishment, lest everyone in this palace look down on people." When Clear Sky saw that there was a princess among them, she knew that today's events could not continue. Although it is good that she is favored in the palace, the prestige of the eldest princess in the harem is incomparable to her, not to mention that the eldest princess was raised by the queen mother, and she can't do anything.
The eldest princess looked at Bai Zhen'er on the side, "Sister Bai, tell me, what happened today?" ”
Bai Zhen'er saluted the eldest princess before replying: "I was going to go back after going to the toilet, but a grandmother came to tell me that something happened to the Lord of the Clear Sky County, so she brought me here, and then I met Princess Sanssouci." I just don't know why the princess wants to see me in this way. ”
"Bloody squirting people, when did this princess find someone to come to you? Obviously, your maid was rude to me, and a maid who knew martial arts dared to make trouble, so I punished him. "Princess Sanssouci has no fear, the slave just now has left, and no one can find evidence.
There is nothing to explain here, Bai Zhen'er saluted the eldest princess again and said: "Please also ask the eldest princess Mingjian, my maid is a maid who can do kung fu after I accidentally fell into the water, and my father specially found a maid who can do kung fu." But my maid's head is not very good. ”
After hearing Bai Zhen'er mention the overboard, Princess Sanssouc's face turned pale, and she shouted at her, "Presumptuous, what do you mean by this?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest princess probably had a number in her heart, and then she spoke: "Come on, lock up all these maids and slaves who committed crimes, and when today's banquet is over, who is who will naturally give an answer." If I find out who is doing a ghost in it, I will be killed with a cane. ”
The eldest princess didn't take Princess Sanssouci's prickly words to heart, she naturally guessed why Princess Sanssouci was only embarrassed by this Miss Bai family, but today's day is different, and Sanssouci is embarrassed to find things like this, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to spread it to people.
Now, I have to detain the people and wait until the banquet is over. They disappeared for such a while, and when they went back, the ancestor would definitely ask, and they had to tell the ancestor.
The perpetrators were all taken away by the princess, including Xiao Tao, and there was only one leaf left by her side.
After the eldest princess gave the order, no one dared to disobey. Even Princess Sanssouci had to look at the eldest princess brightly, and finally couldn't follow the middle of the army and walked in the direction of the banquet.
After returning to the banquet, the eyes of the Queen Mother and the concubines sitting on it came over, and there were many kinds of eyes in the middle. They naturally have their own eyes and ears, at least Concubine Xian and Concubine De already know about the friction between Princess Sanssono and Bai Zhen'er.
After returning to his seat, the Sunny Sky County Lord took Bai Zhen'er's hand and said softly, "It's okay, it's just that your maid is afraid that she will suffer a little." "No matter who started today's incident, the master will be punished verbally at most, but the maids around him will definitely be punished.
"Thank you to the county lord for saving me for today's incident, Zhen'er is grateful."
"What do you say, don't worry, the eldest princess has always been fair and strict, and she is well-known in this palace."
Facing the comfort of the Clear Sky County Lord, Bai Zhen'er pulled her cheeks, but in the end she couldn't laugh. No way, it's already happening.
In fact, after Xiao Tao was taken away, as soon as her heart calmed down, she felt that she was really impulsive today.
Although the eldest princess is fair, she is a royal after all and often thinks about the overall situation. But for the sake of the overall situation, the consequence is to sacrifice these little shrimps, under the imperial power, who can speak?
The hardship and powerlessness in her heart filled her entire chest, surging and rolling, and she could not be discharged.
The next thing is to watch the game, in fact, this game with a sign, that is, the people in the audience are performing, and the people on the stage are selecting, not only selecting people, but also selecting the family history behind those people.
This is the end of a masked banquet, and the girls who come out on top or are chosen are left in the palace for the evening lantern festival. The rest were rewarded and sent out of the palace.
――
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother sat on the throne and began to ask about what had just happened in the Imperial Garden.
After the eldest princess learned the news after the interrogation of the slave just now, she opened her mouth to tell the queen mother what happened, and said that the eldest princess was fair and selfless, and even the tone of her speech was so straightforward.
Anyway, the last truth is that the princess is embarrassed to find someone, and Bai Zhen'er is embarrassed.
Princess Sanssouci couldn't refute the words of the eldest princess, because that was the truth after all, and finally she pulled the sleeve of the queen mother with a smile and said, "Ancestor, I'm just angry." ”
Regarding Princess Sanssouci's coquettishness, the Queen Mother still has that kind expression, "Why are you angry?" Do you think the words of the mourning family are useless? ”
"What's the matter, worry-free likes the ancestor the most, just forgive me this time, the ancestor~."
"Yes." The Queen Mother pondered for a moment before she spoke: "In this way, the slaves who committed the crime did not take strict care of their masters, and they all pulled down and beat ten boards." ”
"It's still the ancestors who love me." Princess Sanssouci pulled the sleeves of the queen mother's coat and coquettishly, not moving at all because the slave was punished.
Also, this royal man, there are people who treat people as human beings, let alone these slaves and maids.
Bai Zhen'er was a little worried about whether this little peach could take these ten boards, and hoped that the Queen Mother would just be a show, otherwise she would have to accept it. Ten boards is not much, but there are also people who are beaten to death, and the key depends on how the executioner's figure-eight feet are placed.
The eyes of help fell to the Clear Sky County Lord on the side, and the Clear Sky County Lord shook his head slightly towards Bai Zhen'er, signaling her not to say more and do more at this time.
Anyway, she wrote down today's events. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and wait.
Bai Zhen'er took a deep breath, and waited, there would be a chance after all.
After the execution was completed, Bai Zhen'er came to the ear room of the side hall and saw Xiao Tao lying motionless on the couch. In fact, Xiao Tao was not in a coma at this time, she endured the pain and struggled to support it, and before the matter was over, she couldn't pass out in a coma without explanation.
Bai Zhen'er took a deep breath and slowly walked to Xiao Tao's side, her eyes fell on the injured place, and she didn't know what to say in her heart.
Maybe it was because she noticed someone coming, Xiao Tao slowly opened her eyes, and her pale lips moved slightly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, you can rest here for a while, here is the best trauma medicine you can use first, it was given to me by the county lord, you will get better soon."
"Miss, I'll give medicine to Sister Xiao Tao." Seeing that his young lady nodded, Ye Zi took the white bottle, and it was indeed the medicine in the palace, and as soon as it was revealed, there was a faint smell of medicine.
Bai Zhen'er just stood beside her, watching Ye Zi gently uncover Xiao Tao's injured part, her skin was purple, and blood was oozing from some places. Looking a little scary, Bai Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief, the injury was only on the flesh.
Bai Zhen'er watched the leaves apply medicine on the side, and Xiao Tao lay on the couch, face down without any expression. Except for the pale fingers, clutching the cushion beneath him.
For a moment, no one spoke in the room, and there was silence.
