"Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid Rulan saw her good friend, Xiaomei's body kept trembling, so she asked with some worry.

Xiaomei's face was unusually pale at the moment, cold sweat was constantly breaking out on her forehead, and her body was trembling, as if she was seriously ill.

"I'm fine, I'm just having some stomach pain, Rulan, can you help me cover up, I'll go to the toilet." Mei pleaded.

But Rulan refused, "Are you trying to kill me?" You didn't see Your Majesty being so angry tonight, if you run away at this time, it will be difficult for both of us to save our lives, or you can endure it a little longer. ”

"But ......"

Xiaomei also knew that if she ran away at this moment, she would definitely attract everyone's attention, but if she didn't leave, when those people searched the things in her room, she would still be unable to escape death.

Xiaomei closed her eyes in despair.

Rulan didn't know why Xiaomei was acting so painfully, she just thought she couldn't help it, but now in this situation, she didn't have any choice but to keep talking to Xiaomei to divert her attention.

"Xiaomei, which hairpin did you say the concubine Niangniang lost, such a big battle?"

Xiaomei closed her eyes and did not speak.

But Xiao Lizi, who was kneeling in front of him, opened his mouth, "Haven't you heard?" It is said that it is a hairpin given by His Majesty to the concubine Niangniang, losing the hairpin is a small matter, the key is that this is given by His Majesty, if it is caught by someone with a heart, our concubine Niangniang may not be able to stand a punishment. ”

Rulan pursed her lips, "This Your Majesty's gift is really blessed and woe." ”

Xiaomei was still unwilling, she took advantage of Zizhu's sight not here, and secretly climbed out, and Rulan next to her saw it, and she didn't know what to do.

If she just lets it go and lets Xiaomei escape, if she is discovered by Zizhu, she will definitely be regarded as a shield, and she will inevitably be beaten up, but if she tells Zizhu now, then Xiaomei may not even have her life.

Although in this harem, the human affection is weak, but he has been with Xiaomei for so long, and he still has some feelings.

Xiao Lizi said: "Rulan, did you really watch her run away like this?" You still don't call her back. ”

"What do you want me to call this!"

As soon as Rulan said this, Zizhu's gaze swept over.

In the end, Zizhu came to the side of the two, and Xiao Lizi and Rulan both knelt there tremblingly, for fear that Zizhu would find something.

But although Zizhu is a little reckless in doing things on weekdays, he is very careful, and when he saw that there was an extra vacancy next to Rulan, he asked, "Rulan, where are the people around you?" ”

Rulan knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to answer truthfully: "Aunt Zizhu, the slave maid is Xiaomei by her side, she just suddenly had a stomachache, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran out, and the slave didn't have time to stop her." ”

"Humph!" Zizhu's eyes were full of anger, "Your Majesty has said that no one here is allowed to leave, this little doesn't even take His Majesty's words in her eyes, I think she will die!" Come on, find out this Xiaomei for me, press it in front of Your Majesty and the concubine, and wait for Your Majesty to deal with it! ”

"Yes, Aunt Zizhu."

Zizhu glanced at Rulan again, and said indifferently: "If something happens to Xiaomei, you will not be able to escape the death penalty." ”

After saying this, Zizhu left.

And after Rulan heard that she could not escape the death penalty, she was so frightened that she immediately collapsed on the ground, "How come? How so? ”

The little plum in front of him couldn't bear to shake his head.

On the other side, Zhang Jiang and Yuan Liu led people to search the residences of the palace maids and eunuchs, because the matter was important, they couldn't tell them directly, and found a handkerchief with traces.

Zhang Jiang said to everyone: "The hairpin given by His Majesty is very valuable, and the thief will definitely wrap it in a handkerchief. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Zhang."

The residences of the palace maids in the Frost Flower Hall are not large, and it didn't take long for most of them to be searched.

"Father-in-law, do you think we can really find that person? Could it be that it is not in the Frost Blossom Palace, or that it has already been destroyed? ”

Zhang Jiang shook his head, "I don't know if we can find it or not, we just have to do what we are told." ”

"Yes, father-in-law."

After Xiaomei slipped out from under Zizhu's nose, she ran back to her residence like crazy, dodged the searching guards, and climbed in from behind the window.

Judging from the mess in the house, this room should have been searched a long time ago, and Xiaomei still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the things she had put under the pillow and the soles of her shoes had not been found.

She fell to her knees, slowly moving away from what stood in her way, but the end result was destined to disappoint her.

The shoes that were neatly arranged before are now placed there at random, and the handkerchief at the sole of the shoe is gone.

Xiaomei collapsed to the ground in despair.

His Majesty definitely knows what hairpins were stolen just to find her things.

At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs who were locked up in the main hall also returned.

Rulan pushed open the door and walked in, and saw that the house was in a mess, and couldn't help complaining: "Really, these vulgar men have made such a mess of the house, and they will have to clean it up again later, I'm sleepy." ”

As she spoke, she saw Xiaomei kneeling on the ground, and said with some surprise: "Xiaomei? How did you come back so quickly? Do you know that I was almost killed by you, after you ran away, Aunt Zizhu came to ask me, where have you been, and said that if something happens, I will not escape the death penalty, fortunately, the thief who stole the hairpin of the concubine has been caught, otherwise I will hate you to death! ”

Rulan said to herself, but after talking for a long time, she found that Xiaomei on the ground didn't move at all, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, and even wondered if what she just said was too much, after all, nothing happened.

"Xiaomei, are you okay? I didn't mean to blame you, it's just that you were really a little irresponsible just now, and you don't have to be afraid, the thief has been found, and it's none of your business, even if Aunt Zizhu is a little angry, but our concubine Niangniang is good-hearted, if you plead with the concubine, you will definitely not be punished. ”

Xiaomei shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine, hurry up and pack up your things and rest." ”

Rulan wanted to say something more, but after a tired day, she was indeed a little tired, so she had to nod and agree, and wait for tomorrow.

Rulan fell asleep soon after lying on the bed, snoring slightly, and everything seemed to be peaceful.
