In fact, Chu Yin has already told this eunuch about it, otherwise, if the prince misunderstands and directly pulls the guilty person to punish without asking, wouldn't she have a hard time arguing.

However, this eunuch is not easy to say too clearly, so he replies in a questioning tone.

"Take her to the study, and the king will ask her later." Hetai commanded.

He felt that it was good for Chu Yin to come at this time, and he could tell whether what the two said was the same if they asked separately.

In order to get away with it, they may tell some lies. The palace maid may be, and Chu Yin may too. But there is one thing, lying is to clear oneself of guilt, not to the guilt of others.

On the contrary, they will deliberately make it clear what others have done, so as to reduce their own sense of existence and mistakes.

In this way, he can clearly know what everyone has done in this matter, and where is everyone's fault?

The eunuch withdrew.

Lingxiu then went on to tell Hetai what happened in the back garden in the morning. As Hetai expected, she focused on what Xiling did. I didn't dare to elaborate on some of her own actions at that time.

But she didn't say a word, if she skipped it all too much, and she wasn't the only one present at the time of the incident, even if she didn't mention herself, others would say it. So she also said a few words, but only a few words overshadowed it.

only said that she was stunned at the time, and she didn't react for a while, and when she reacted, she went to pull the rack, but no matter how strong Xiling was, she couldn't pull it. Regarding the front, it was said that the lady was talking to the princess, and she was not good at interrupting and stopping as a slave.

As the palace maid Lingxiu narrated, Hetai's face became more and more gloomy.

Although Lingxiu had deliberately avoided herself in her words, Hetai was such a wise person who thought through the situation in just a few words.

After Lingxiu finished talking about what happened, Hetai asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. Xi spoke ill of the princess, you said that it was the master who spoke, you can't interrupt and stop it?"

Lingxiu lowered her head and replied tremblingly, "Yes." ”

Hetai sneered, "You're simply clearing the blame." If there is a peaceful conversation between the masters, the minions are naturally not qualified to intervene, but are they?"

Lingxiu was taken aback, she was already getting rid of her responsibility, and what Xi Ling said to Yu Die'er was extremely ugly, how could it be regarded as talking?

She thought she could fool the past, but she didn't expect to be caught by the prince.

At this point, the only way to admit the unfavorable sin of this protector was to "The slave and maid are guilty, please punish the prince!" The slave and maid also felt that Mrs. Xi's words were abnormal, but she thought that Mrs. Xi was just arguing with the princess for a few words. I never imagined that things would get worse and worse to the point of getting started. ”

What Lingxiu meant by this was to explain that they were indeed not speaking peacefully. And she let it go.

"There are two things wrong with what you just said, not only are they not peaceful chatter, but they are not even talking between masters. Hetai said in a deep voice.

Lingxiu was a little dazed. She knew what was wrong, but she was a little confused about the other.

Isn't it a conversation between masters?

At this point, Hetai explained in a good-natured manner, "Although Xiling is a lady, but Fluttershy is the princess of this king, she is humble and orderly, and the princess of this king can't tolerate her being so presumptuous as a lady! As a concubine, she dares to insult the princess by the next offense, as the palace maid next to the princess, you should stop drinking, and you should order someone to punish you immediately! But what did you do?"

"Be a bystander without making a sound? Let the princess be bullied and scolded? The princess has amnesia, doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and doesn't know how to protect herself. Have you also lost your memory? You have also forgotten the rules, and you have forgotten your duty as a slave?" asked Tsuru Tai sharply.

The reason why he had the patience to explain to the palace maid was actually to tell everyone, so that no one would take the fish and butterflies seriously.

Lingxiu also fully understood after Hetai's words. She was wrong in two ways. She speaketh among her masters. Xiling, she is not a master at all. What kind of master is a concubine? Can it be compared to a princess? It's just a heaven and an underground.

It's just that because of the Queen Mother's care for Xiling, some people looked down on Xiling and treated her as a green onion. But here in the prince's place, Xiling is not counted, she is not a master, she is just a concubine.

She bullied the princess, that is the following crime, it is a great sin!

If a slave dares to treat her as a master, that's wrong.

To allow a concubine to insult the princess and let it go is guilty!

Lingxiu is a slave, so he naturally knows that the duty of a slave is to protect the master, the master was beaten, but you were a slave but it was good, unscathed, and he retreated. This in itself is a dereliction of duty!

The unintentional mistake was forgivable, but she was cautious at the time. But she didn't dare admit it.

Dereliction of duty is not the same as not being able to recognize the master.

"The slave and maid are wrong, the slave and maid are not good for the master, and the crime deserves death! It is really Mrs. Xi's arrogance, which makes the slave and maid mess up. begged the prince to spare the slave and maid this time. The slave and maid will be faithful in the future, and will never let this happen again. ”

Hetai laughed angrily, "Heh, do you think you'll have another time?"

With this kind of person, it is impossible for him to let her stay with Yu Die'er anymore.

"You are at fault and guilty for this! But you are not honest. You are not only wrong, but you are very wrong! You said to this king in a conclusive way, how you were so frightened by Xiling that you didn't react for a while, and how you didn't expect Xiling to be bold enough to act. repeatedly exaggerated each other and tried to clean himself up. ”

Hetai said slowly, "Didn't you react to it?" This king sees that you are in a dilemma, and you are undecided, right?"

He didn't want to say it so clearly, after all, it involved the Queen Mother. But he was like a mirror in his heart. Even though Xiling made a mistake that he couldn't tolerate, what also alerted him was that the people around Yu Die'er were not able to serve well.

If you don't try your best, you don't do your best.

But if you have a little more protector heart, it will not turn things into what they will be.

He has seen too much of the things in the palace, and he has heard and seen them, how can the slave hide anything from him.

As the saying goes, beating a dog looks at the master, the master is powerful, and others and the slave dare not bully, and the same with the powerful master, the slave will naturally be arrogant and imposing.

Lingxiu is obviously serving Yu Die'er, as a palace maid beside the princess, how can she be so easily frightened by the momentum of a concubine? There is only one possibility, that is, she is afraid of that concubine in her heart, so she is undecided, not knowing whether to scold the concubine or help the master.

The reason why she is like this may be because of the Queen Mother.

When he first sent Xiling over, the Queen Mother was extremely concerned, and she didn't know why she was cold for a while, maybe because he was not in the palace when he led the troops to fight, and Xiling felt that there was nothing to fight about.

But recently, Xiling has frequently run to the Queen Mother, because every time he goes to visit the Queen Mother and greets the Queen Mother, he can hear the Queen Mother mention Xiling to him. There is nothing more than one meaning in and out of the words, and he is annoyed when he listens to it.

The slave looked at the face of the queen mother, and wanted to listen to the west, or look down on her because of this, and did not want to offend her easily. is also excusable, it is about the Queen Mother, and he is not easy to say too clearly.

But it shouldn't be, and it's still hard to distinguish the importance in this matter.

How can this kind of minion be retained?

Thinking about it, he blamed him for not arranging it properly. The people around Fluttershy don't think it through. It was left to the arrangement of the steward.

There are some words that don't need to be picked too clearly, just the last sentence of Hetai is enough for Lingxiu to be afraid.

When she heard this, her face changed drastically, and the idea she had repeatedly wanted to hide was actually revealed in this way? She was seen through by the prince like this, how did the prince see through it? This was obviously what she thought in her heart.

But she did think so, she really didn't do her best and didn't do her best, she was really in a dilemma and didn't know who to help, and even kept letting it go at first, watching Xi Ling say disrespectful to Yu Die'er, but she didn't say a word.

She could have called the minions on duty to come over and take Xi Ling's guilt away. At least it can't hurt the princess. But she didn't, because she was indecisive and didn't want to offend Xiling.

This is the most wrong step! She didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she gave up the princess and chose not to offend a concubine?

What about the Queen Mother? She is on an errand in the residence of the prince, and if she offends the princess, her life will not be easy. The Queen Mother will not stand up for herself, saying that it is not good, the Queen Mother knows who she is, and what is herself!

There is no way to do it when her brain is confused, and she is also remorseful now. But regret doesn't help.

Everything has already happened, even if it is wrong, it has been chosen. There is no turning back.

Lingxiu looked back and thought about it, the princess was really good, although she had only been together for a few days, the princess had never been a little sad about her. Maybe because of this kindness, she forgot the dignity and status of the princess, and she was not afraid of her from the bottom of her heart.

So when things came to an end, he naturally gave up the one he wasn't afraid of. Don't dare to offend the one who is afraid.

Some things happen when they happen, even if it's too late to regret it!

Seeing that she acquiesced, Hetai didn't say anything more, but only ordered in a cold voice, "Come on, drag this undutiful slave out, temporarily make a cane for thirty punishments, and punish him to hard labor." ”

Lingxiu didn't have the face to beg for mercy at this time, and the prince had already spoken to that extent, obviously he had understood everything, and he had also seen through her thoughts, so he only kowtowed and thanked him, "Slave and maid thank the prince for not killing, thank the prince for not killing." ”

It is merciful to have committed such a sin, and not to have her life to be desired, and she has asked for nothing else.

Hetai stood up and walked out, walked to the place where Lingxiu was kneeling, paused, and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the imminent wedding of this king, this king would not want to kill people and be unlucky, so you would be unable to escape death with your actions, and now it is cheaper for you." ”

"And you. He looked at the minions, "And you, if the princess makes the slightest mistake in the future, you will all apologize for your sins with death." ”

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away, and several personal eunuchs hurriedly followed behind him, and followed Hetai to the study.

Hetai walked for a while, and the minions in the room wiped their sweat and stood up.

It's not that I'm afraid of what Hetai said about the future, but I'm nervous and scared by what happened just now, and I was shocked into a cold sweat.

Thankfully, I wasn't implicated. Now I've escaped! This is considered to be burning high incense.

As for the future, it is prudent to wait for the spirit of twelve points. If the princess goes out again, she will send a few more people to follow her. No more accidents.

Otherwise, they all apologize for their sins with death, and no one wants to die!
