The fish pond was built great, and Barbara was very satisfied, as were the rest of the family.

Most people's satisfaction is expressed in words, but Lori Remy's satisfaction is expressed in action.

She felt that this pond was so well built that it would be a pity if only white fish were raised, so little Lori took advantage of everyone's praise for the pond, and flew into the Elf Forest at a very fast speed, and fished out a bunch of small frogs, small turtles and other amphibians with a bag, and then flew back happily and poured into the pond.

This frightened everyone.

The frog is okay and does not eat fish, but the turtle does not give face, don't look at it is only a quarter of the size of an adult's palm, but it still can't hide its title of fishing expert.

Fortunately, the vast majority of these little turtles are well fed and not interested in the white fish swimming around, otherwise, we would have seen a merciless slaughter.

After cleaning up the pond, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and Florence had just finished preparing a hot lunch, and was serving it to the table, when an elven guard stood outside the gate and called out to me from afar.

I wiped my sweat, walked to the door, leaned against the door, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Yes, yes, Elder, two Majesties declare you at the same time."

The guard said respectfully.

"Oh, then wait a minute, I'll go back and change my clothes."

With that, he hurried back to his room, changed into a set of clean clothes, and followed the elf guards to the palace.

On the way, the guard kept his head down and walked forward, occasionally peeking sideways at me.

"Is there something wrong?" I smiled and said, "Just say something, it's okay, I won't blame you." ”

"Yes, yes," he paused, "Actually, I have always thought that the elders love our people, and are not as cruel and ruthless as the daily newspapers say. ”

Although the person in front of me was just a humble guard, his words still made me feel warm.

I nodded at him and smiled, "Thank you." ”

"This, I can't afford this," he waved his hand repeatedly, looking terrified.

It was only then that I realized that this person seemed to be a little stammering.

The elven guard suddenly realized that his behavior was a little rude, so he touched his hair in embarrassment and said, "Very, I'm sorry, Elder, I, my words have bothered you. ”

"No bothering, I'm really thanking you" sighed, I said: "Since the negative news related to me came out, a considerable number of people have regarded me as a villain who only uses tyranny, a pest of this country, I have long been accustomed to being spoken of evilly, but today, you suddenly said a different language, to be honest, I am very moved, thank you." ”

"No, it's not like that, Elder" The guard was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, since I was very young, I had a problem, one, one was in a hurry, I stammered when I spoke, and the people around me laughed at me, so I can understand you very well, how I feel at the moment, but I am soft-spoken, and I really can't help, I can help you......"

"Acknowledging me is helping me," I smiled.

When I entered the palace and came to the conference hall, I met the two empresses, and the other elders.

After asking, the Elven Empress said, "Elder An Xiaoyi, what is your attitude towards this public opinion incident?" ”

"Attitude...... Well, I feel a little innocent. ”

"Innocent?" The Elven Empress asked, "What is innocence?" ”

I replied solemnly, "I'm innocent." ”

Then I recounted all the events of that day.

The Elven Empress was expressionless and said, "Can you take responsibility for every word you have ever said?" Can you guarantee that your every word is true? ”

I looked up, "Yes, I can." ”

She nodded, and then asked, "So, do you have any witnesses?" ”

"No," I said, "I don't know any of the elves there, and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to find them." ”

The Elven Empress pondered for a moment and said, "If you can find them, can their words be used as a standard for judging your actions?" ”

"No," I said, "Since someone can falsify the truth of this matter and use it as evidence to slander me and publish it in the Moonlight City Daily, it means that one or some people present at the time have malicious intentions towards me, and if the people who are found happen to be those who have malicious intentions towards me, then the truth of the matter will be covered up, and it will be difficult for me to clear my grievances." ”

"The turbid ones are self-turbid, and the clear ones are self-purifying, Elder An Xiaoyi, aren't you afraid to find witnesses to check in person, right?" Elder Lindsay asked.

"What am I afraid of," I laughed, "even if I really found those who slandered me, even if those charges were really put on my head, what could I do?" ”

"Young man, hum," Elder Mera snorted softly, "if you sit down, your title will be stripped away, your nobility will be withdrawn, everything you have will be confiscated, and you and your family will be expelled from Moonlight City." ”

"Yes, I know" my heart did not fluctuate, and said lightly: "You may have forgotten, not long ago, I was just an outcast, with my family, in a magic airship, exiled to this beautiful forest town, at that time, I was also a title, the president of a small guild with no identity, even if the current title and status are deprived by you, what can I do, even if my tree house here is taken back by you, even if I am expelled from Moonlight City by you, what can I do?" It's just that everything is back to zero, and it doesn't affect me in the slightest. ”

Elder Lindsay and Elder Mera looked a little ugly, they must have wanted to give me a disgrace, or to strip me of my title of elder, and to dampen my spirit, but unfortunately, none of this could be done as they wished.

"Elder An Xiaoyi" Elven Empress suddenly said at this time, "Can you prove your innocence?" ”

"No," I shook my head, "I really can't prove this, and I don't think it's necessary, as Elder Lindsay said, those who are clean are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, if I have done those things, no matter how I wash myself, I will not be clean, but if I have not done those things, even if I don't wash them, I will still be clean." ”

The Elven Empress was lost in thought, her resolute eyes blinking slightly, as if she was considering what question to ask me next.

Shaoqing, she said: "That's the case, Elder An Xiaoyi, the reason why I asked you these words is not because I don't trust you, but because I hope you can come up with enough evidence to prove your innocence to all the people of Moonlight City." ”

"I fully understand your good intentions, but, Your Majesty, have you ever thought that you can let the Moonlight City Daily Newspaper across the country publish this unfavorable news for me, behind this incident, what a terrible group of forces will be hidden, which can not only slander the important ministers of the state through public opinion, but also evade the search of law enforcement agencies, with all due respect, Your Majesty, I am afraid that with my current majesty, even if I come up with conclusive evidence, it will be overturned by people with ulterior motives and become a useless excuse."
