Thinking of this, Xiaomei walked up to the red sleeves, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to fan the red sleeves in the face, but she heard the red sleeves shouting there.

"Slut, you dare to hit me? You're not afraid of me......"

"Smack!"

Before Red Sleeves could speak, Xiaomei's slap landed firmly on Red Sleeves' face, and directly pulled out a bright red blood handprint.

Seeing this, Yan Zixi tried to hold back the urge to laugh, and secretly said in her heart, this Xiaomei is too ruthless......

Red Sleeves didn't expect that Xiaomei would really dare to hit herself, "You...... How dare you really hit me? ”

When Red Sleeves was touching the left side of her face, Xiaomei slapped her backhand again. Now it's okay, one left and one right, all of them left five bloody handprints.

After the two slaps, the audience fell silent, and the guards were even more dumbfounded, completely unable to believe that what was happening in front of them was real.

"It's the other way around...... It's ...... the other way around," Red Sleeves cried out in despair, and at this moment, the shouts of the guards suddenly came from outside the gate of the mansion.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

When Yan Zixi heard this shout, her heart sank, and she secretly said that it was not good, wondering why the queen mother came in person?

Xiaomei hurriedly ran to Yan Zixi's side, her face was a little flustered, and she didn't know what to do. If the queen knew that she had beaten his maid, she didn't know how to punish herself.

Thinking of this, Xiaomei cast a look at Yan Zixi for help, and whispered in her mouth.

"Princess, why is the queen mother here? How good is that? Princess, you ...... You must protect me! ”

"Xiaomei, don't be nervous, you're doing the right thing. This princess will definitely keep you safe. ”

With Yan Zixi's words as a guarantee, Xiaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still faintly worried in her heart.

The queen mother, supported by several grandmothers, slowly walked into the house, and saw that everyone was gathered at the door, and the queen couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Red Sleeves saw the queen mother coming, hurriedly covered her face and ran over, kneeling in front of her to complain.

"Queen Mother, you are here! You must get justice for your slaves! ”

"Red Sleeves, what do you mean by that...... Wait, what are you doing with your face covered? The queen asked puzzled.

When the red sleeves saw the queen's post, he took his hands down, and then revealed the pair of bright red bloody handprints on his face, which looked a little frightened.

The queen mother frowned, and asked in her mouth: "Red sleeves, what's wrong with your face, who hit you?" ”

"Returning to the mother, slave maid...... The slave didn't dare to say......" Red Sleeves deliberately put on a pitiful look and said to the queen mother aggrievedly.

"Humph! What is there not to say in front of this palace? The queen's face turned dark, and her mouth was displeased.

Just when Red Sleeves was about to complain to Yan Zixi, Yan Zixi stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "Queen Mother, it just so happens that you are here, Zixi has something to tell you." ”

When the queen mother heard this, she glanced at Yan Zixi, "Princess Xiao, what do you have to tell you?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, there was just a maid with your name, and she didn't know how to spread wild in my Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the person who wanted to beat me said that it was your edict? Zixi couldn't believe that there would be such a maid by the queen's side, so Zixi took matters into her own hands, slapped her a few times, and punished her a little. ”

Yan Zixi said as she looked up to observe the change in the expression on the queen's face, and after a slight pause, Yan Zixi continued.

"Of course, Zixi beat the queen's mother without the consent of the queen, and asked the queen to forgive her sins!"

"Huh?!" When Red Sleeves heard Yan Zixi sue her one step ahead of her, she immediately panicked, and she hurriedly defended herself to the queen: "Queen Mother, don't listen to what Princess Xiao said, Princess Xiao is spewing blood, and the slave is wronged......"

"What a guts! You are just a maid, and you dare to slander this princess? Yan Zixi had a dark face and scolded the red sleeves angrily.

When Red Sleeves heard this, his heart was half cold.

The queen mother looked at Yan Zixi meaningfully, and then shifted her gaze to the face of the red sleeves, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Princess Xiao is doing well, such a slave doesn't know what to do, she is bold and reckless, she doesn't abide by the rules, Princess Xiao plays well." ”

Yan Zixi pursed her lips and smiled, "The queen mother is too praised, Zixi is just doing what she should do, after all, not everyone in the Zhenguo General's Mansion can be wild, and it's not good to break the rules." ”

Yan Zixi deliberately used rules to restrain the queen mother, so that even the queen mother couldn't say anything. After all, she wants to maintain the stability of the harem, and there must be rules.

If there are no rules, wouldn't it be chaotic.

The queen mother has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and she still knows which is more important.

After the queen mother withdrew her red sleeves, she immediately said to Yan Zixi with a straight face: "Princess Xiao hasn't seen her for a few days, but this shelf is much bigger." 186 Chinese Network

"Queen Mother, you are laughing, Zixi has always been that Zixi." Yan Zixi responded politely.

The queen nodded, also struggling with this matter, she changed the topic and explained her intention.

"Princess Xiao, someone told the palace this morning, saying that your Zhenguo General's Mansion secretly hid poison to poison Concubine Shu's mother, but is there such a thing?"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and explained to the queen mother: "Queen mother Mingjian, how can my Zhenguo General's Mansion hide poison?" This must be someone making false accusations, and ask the queen to find out to the end. ”

"Really?" The queen mother sneered, glanced at the guards behind her, and instructed them: "Okay, you all withdraw, didn't you hear Princess Xiao's words?" ”

"Yes!"

After hearing the queen's order, the guards each withdrew from the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

After those guards left, the queen mother continued to say to Yan Zixi: "Since Princess Xiao has said so, then the palace will not be searched, and the palace will set up a banquet in Changde Palace tomorrow to celebrate the recovery of Concubine Xiao, Princess Xiao must come over tomorrow!" ”

When Yan Zixi heard this, she immediately saluted and said, "The queen mother is so kindly invited, Zixi will definitely be there on time tomorrow." ”

Nonsense, the queen mother has said so, do you dare to refuse?

The queen mother nodded, "Well, even so, it is inconvenient for the palace to disturb more." ”

Saying that, the queen mother turned around with a smile on her face, and walked out of the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion surrounded by all the eunuchs and palace maids.

Yan Zixi kept sending the queen mother into the carriage, and then returned to the house.

After coming back, Yan Zixi glanced at Xiaomei's slightly puffy face, and asked with concern: "Xiaomei, is your face okay?" ”

After all, Xiaomei was also slapped by the red sleeve just now, and this slap was not light.

Xiaomei didn't say a word, and she didn't even call.

Xiaomei heard Yan Zixi's words of concern, and finally couldn't suppress the tears in her eyes, she was full of tears and then shook her head, she knew that the princess had worked very hard to protect herself, just now it was for herself, even the queen mother was offended, how could Xiaomei be embarrassed to cry out in pain again?

Thinking of this, Xiaomei said to Yan Zixi again: "Princess, the slave's face is fine, just a little skin injury. Princess, the slave is worried about you. ”

"Worried about me?!" Yan Zixi frowned slightly, puzzled by what Xiaomei meant, "Xiaomei, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Princess, today you disobeyed the queen mother, the queen mother is indifferent on the surface, and she must be hateful in her heart, you offend her, the queen mother may stumble on you in the future......" Xiaomei cautiously reminded Yan Zixi.

Yan Zixi heard Xiaomei's kind reminder, and the smile on her face froze. She didn't know that if she offended the queen today, she would definitely not have a good life in the future.

It's just that Yan Zixi doesn't understand who will tell the queen mother, to be able to see the queen mother, and let the queen mother personally bring someone to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to question her, presumably this person must have a great background.

In order not to worry Xiaomei, Yan Zixi waved her hand and pretended not to care and said, "It's okay, Xiaomei, this princess is standing upright, even if others want to frame her, it's not so easy." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Zixi walked towards the house.

Xiaomei watched Yan Zixi enter the house, still with a worried look on her face.

……

Xiao Jingcong, who had returned from the investigation, happened to see the carriage of the queen halfway, and he stepped aside, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is the queen out of the palace? Looking at the direction of his return, it seems that the general's mansion, could it be that the queen's mother visited the palace? ”

Xiao Jingcong muttered in her heart, and then hurried back to the house to see what was going on.

After returning to the house, Xiao Jingcong saw Xiaomei sitting in front of the door rubbing medicine, Xiao Jingcong walked over and asked strangely.

"Xiaomei, what's wrong with your face? What about the princess, where is the princess now? ”

Xiaomei saw that Xiao Jingcong was back, and hurriedly got up and saluted her: "The slave and maid see the prince, if you go back to the prince, the princess is in the house, do you want the slave and maid to go in and report it......"

"No need!" Xiao Jingcong waved her hand, "By the way, your face is ......" Xiao Jingcong saw that Xiaomei kept silent and didn't mention the injury on her face, so she asked again.

"The slave's face is fine, it's already medicated."

"This king didn't ask this, I asked who beat you?"

Xiaomei bit her lip and replied, "Back to the prince, yes...... It's the hand of the queen's maid ......"

"The queen's maid beat you? Why? The more Xiao Jingcong listened, the more confused she became, and asked more curiously.
