"Ah Ruan, you keep framing me and your intentions, but because you have your master, you are so unscrupulous and bullying people at will." Bai Shao had a fang, and opened her mouth to retort.

Hearing that Ah Ruan was crying silently, she said softly: "I also asked the mother to be the master of the slave maid, the slave and maid really did not frame it." ”

Ah Ruan, who has been by Ye Hao's side since she was a child, is naturally familiar with this slave's cowardly temperament, kind-hearted, and never dares to find trouble, so Ye Hao chose to take her into the palace.

On the contrary, Bai Shao opened and closed his mouth with a grievance, which made people think deeply.

"Someone, can someone tell me what's going on here in this palace?" Ye Hao looked around at everyone present with cold eyes and asked in a cold voice.

The slaves and maids present all looked at each other, and no one dared to participate in this matter.

Ah Ruan is Ye Hao's henchman, and Bai Shao is Zhao Jingxian's henchman, neither the slave nor the maid can be offended.

Seeing this, the slaves and maids in the back kitchen all lowered their heads, and no one dared to squeak.

Ye Hao's delicate cheeks were stained with a touch of warm anger, and she said with a look of disdain in her clear eyes: "You don't say it?" ”

Then her cold eyes swept over everyone present, and immediately shouted, "Who's in charge here?" ”

At this time, a mother-in-law who was standing at the head looked at the submissive mother-in-law, she walked out timidly, a shrewdness flashed in her eyes, she glanced at Bai Shao and lowered her head, "The slave maid has asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”

"The old slave was cleaning in the back kitchen, and he didn't see what was happening." The housekeeper said in a low voice.

"What's your name?" Ye Hao asked coldly, a pair of clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, staring directly at the lady in charge.

"Hui Guifei Niangniang has been in charge of the kitchen for several years, and is called Mama Liu."

Generally, the slaves and maids who enter the palace do not carry their own names, and they are all given names by the head of the palace.

"Mama Liu, since you have been in charge of the back kitchen for a few years, why don't you tell who caused this matter?" Ye Hao looked directly at Mama Liu with cold eyes, and asked in a cold tone.

Hearing this, Mama Liu trembled, her eyebrows and eyes showed timidity, and she knelt on the ground respectfully and did not dare to have the slightest disrespect, "The slave doesn't know." ”

"You guys are really so bold to be so perfunctory to this palace." Ye Hao looked around at everyone with cold eyes, and scolded in a deep voice.

Ah Ruan, who was kneeling on the ground, still had a big cut on her hand, and blood was constantly oozing, she looked at Ye Hao crying, "Niangniang is really not your alone." ”

"Naturally, it shouldn't be me, you don't frame me here." Bai Shao immediately retorted, that sharp and sharp appearance made people not see where the grievances were?

"Tell me what you're doing in the kitchen?" Ye Hao asked in a deep voice, her eyes mocking at Bai Shao.

Bai Shao is Zhao Jingxian's confidant, and she has always followed her inseparably, rarely out of the Qingyin Palace.

"Back to my mother, my mother was greedy for a while and wanted to make some pear blossom cakes, and the slave maid just happened to be good at making some for my mother." Bai Shao said word by word.

"But it's just a coincidence, this palace also wants to eat some osmanthus crisp, so I sent Ah Ruan to make it." Ye Hao's beautiful eyes were dark and dull, like an abyss, and she said faintly.

Hearing this, Bai Shao's eyes flashed slightly, and a look of weakness appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "The slave maid came to the kitchen first." ”

"It's clear that you can't get used to me, so you will deliberately target me." Ah Ruan said that he was aggrieved, and looked at Bai Shao angrily.

But Bai Shao glared at Ah Ruan coldly, and retorted in a deep voice: "Ah Ruan, you want to talk about evidence when you say this. ”258

"The hand of the slave is the best evidence, the pear blossom cake you make is not as good as me at all, so you will make me so embarrassed." Ah Ruan said aggrievedly word by word.

Hearing this, Bai Shao's face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to retort: "You are talking nonsense. ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid has never talked nonsense, if you don't believe it, you can ask Mama Liu, she praised the osmanthus crisp made by the slave maid, so it will make Bai Shao jealous." Ah Ruan struggled to defend himself.

"Mama Liu, come and talk about it." Ye Hao's cold eyes narrowed slightly, shot straight at Mama Liu, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Mama Liu didn't dare to hide anything, she looked timid, and said in a low voice: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, the osmanthus cake made by Miss A Ruan is indeed a must." ”

She just said a little more, but it aroused Bai Shao's jealousy, and Mama Liu secretly regretted it, and she couldn't wait to slap herself.

Bai Shao knelt on the ground, his eyes flashed slightly, with a look of panic, and he didn't speak for a long time, "......"

"What else do you have to say?" Ye Hao looked directly at Bai Shao with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice word by word.

The cold words fell into Bai Shao's ears, she looked around, her face changed slightly, and she immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive the slave and maid, the slave and maid also missed for a while, so they pushed Ah Ruan." ”

"Presumptuous, there can be your vicious slave in the harem." Ye Hao looked at Bai Shao coldly and asked angrily.

Bai Shao's body trembled in fright, her face was as pale as paper, and she begged for mercy: "Please forgive the slave and maid, the slave and maid will not dare next time." ”

"Okay, you, you deliberately hurt people, and you still think about next time?"

Ye Hao was dressed in a purple plain brocade shirt, with a cold and dusty temperament all over her body, looking down at Bai Shao condescendingly, and shouted coldly.

"Someone came and dragged this slave into the Punishment Division and whipped her twenty times to make an example." Ye Hao's face was cold, and he ordered in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they didn't dare to stand in place.

"Please forgive the slave and maid, the slave and maid will never dare again." Bai Shao's face was as pale as paper, and she begged for mercy miserably.

Several guards heard the sound and dragged Bai Shao down.

"Why don't you call the doctor soon." Ye Hao looked at Ruan's injured little hand, and couldn't help frowning.

The slave and maid on his side stepped back and asked for a doctor.

"Niangniang...... Ah Ruan said in a low voice, with a look of self-reproach on her face, "It's all the slaves and maids who have caused trouble for Niangniang." ”

"What nonsense, go back with the main palace." Ye Hao shouted angrily, turned around and sat in the sedan chair.

"Congratulations to the concubine back to the palace." The slaves and maids in the back kitchen were all attached to each other and bowed down.

Returned to Chaohua Palace.

Ye Hao summoned a few slaves and maids to wipe Ah Ruan's wrists, and then the imperial doctor came and carefully checked Ah Ruan's injuries, saying that it was okay, and Ye Hao let her go.

"It's not good for the mother to be a slave, and I'm adding trouble to you." Ah Ruan said reproachfully.

Her wounded hand was wrapped in white gauze, and she said timidly, "The slave can't make osmanthus cake for the mother." ”
