Xing'er was dragged by four little palace maids to bathe and search her body.

Speaking of body search and bathing, this is the rule of the palace, bathing is to avoid being brought into the palace with lice and fleas wrapped in tight clothes, and there is also to check whether there are skin diseases, etc., in order to prevent infection to the palace and the palace masters, the emperor, the queen mother, in the phoenix boat, that is naturally to prevent infection to the queen mother. In addition to this, it also means to remove bad luck. Searches are done to avoid assassins, spies, or entrapments. These stars don't have them, but they also have to be routine.

After bathing Xing'er, the maid of the fourth palace threw away the clothes she had when she got on the boat and changed into the clothes of the palace people. To tell the truth, real people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Xing'er was wearing the old coarse cloth clothes of the boatman's wife and daughter, looking stingy, and after changing into some brightly colored palace clothes with this material, Xiao Xing'er even has some brilliance, which is indescribably cute.

When bathing and changing, the four palace maids had already searched Xing'er's body, and there was no entrainment, and then they searched Xing'er's things, and naturally there was only one piano in the piano bag, but several little palace maids were eyeing Xing'er's small baggage.

"What is this?"

"My mother made me clothes."

"We're going to see!" As she spoke, an older palace maid snatched it up.

Xing'er wanted to resist, but she was helpless, and although she had tried her best to grab the burden, she was still snatched by the palace maid.

The palace maid quickly opened the baggage, and the other three also surrounded her, she unwrapped the baggage and took out the clothes inside, shook it vigorously, and several beads and jewelry were scattered on the ground, the four palace maids quickly scrambled to carry them into their arms, Xing'er watched them snatch the things her mother gave her, and couldn't help but get anxious.

"Put it down!!"

These two words were stern and powerful, although mixed with milk, but they were enough to deter the four palace maids, who stopped their hands and looked back at Xing'er, who was glaring at them vigorously.

One of the older palace maids walked up to Xing'er, who looked up at her, but still glared angrily, and her momentum did not diminish in the slightest. The palace maid crossed her waist with her hands and pressed her stomach against Xing'er's shoulders, Xing'er, who was only more than five years old, was not as tall as the palace maid's waist, and when she pushed her, Xing'er took two steps back, and Xing'er also crossed her waist, still glaring.

The palace maid stepped forward again, and with a force, knocked Xing'er to the ground. The other three palace maids hurriedly gathered around.

"Sister Lingxin! Don't, if she cries, she will disturb the Queen Mother! A palace maid grabbed the palace maid named Lingxin.

And the other two palace maids also came up to stop Lingxin, but Lingxin was a bit of a bully and bullied the weak.

"Let her cry! See if the Queen Mother hurts her or us?! "The tone of the spiritual heart should be extremely favored on weekdays.

Xing'er got up, ran over, and pushed the spirit heart hard with both hands, but the helpless person was weak and the spirit heart did not move at all. Being pushed by her like this, Lingxin laughed contemptuously.

"You still dare to push me?! See if I don't give you a good look! ”

As he spoke, Lingxin took two steps forward, opened his bow left and right, gave Xing'er two big mouths, and then pushed hard, Xing'er staggered back several big steps, slipped and fell, his forehead hit the edge of the bath bucket, and in an instant, a stream of blood gushed out.

"Sister Lingxin!" Another palace maid screamed and hurried over to check on Xing'er.

The blood gushing out of his forehead had covered half of Xing'er's little face, and everyone thought that Xing'er would cry a lot, but no, Xing'er's small face was only angry at this time, not cowardly.

The palace maid helped Xing'er up, checked her injuries, and before she could check it, Xing'er accelerated on her feet, ran to Lingxin's body, and used all her strength to push Lingxin out, this time I don't know if Lingxin's feet were unstable or weak, Lingxin fell backwards and sat on the ground. The other two palace maids screamed, and just as they were about to reach out to help, they heard a woman's voice outside the door.

"Bold! Stop it! ”

As soon as this voice came out, the two palace maids who were standing quickly bowed down and retreated to the wall of the bathing cabin, bowing their heads respectfully and standing aside.

The woman who came in was none other than the slightly older palace maid next to the Queen Mother, the eldest aunt's forehead was wiped from the left forehead to the back of the right ear, with a solemn expression on her face and a stern expression.

"Aunt Liyue." The women of the four palaces spoke in unison.

Xing'er stood in place, watching Aunt Liyue walk in. As soon as Aunt Liyue entered the door, she saw Xiao Xing'er, whose face was covered in blood, and was startled, and walked forward quickly, squatting down to check Xing'er's injuries.

"Who did this?!" Aunt Liyue asked angrily.

There was silence in the room, and no one answered.

"Could it be that she fell by herself?! Say it! Who did this to you?! Liyue said angrily.

Lingxin, who sat on the ground, slowly stood up, patted the ashes on his body, lowered his head and bowed down, and whispered: "I ......"

Aunt Liyue wiped the blood on Xing'er's face with a handkerchief, and then took a closer look at the wound, the bleeding had stopped, and after confirming that it was okay, Aunt Liyue stood up and looked around at everyone in the room.

"Because of what?!" Aunt Liyue's tone was calm this time.

There was silence again. Aunt Liyue looked up at the palace maid who helped Xing'er up.

"Ingenuity, you say."

"I ......" ingenuity.

"What? Don't dare to say? Still don't know? Aunt Liyue's eyes were instantly stern.

Qiaoxin immediately knelt down, her whole body trembling. She knew Aunt Liyue.

Liyue is the oldest palace maid in all the palace maids with the word "li", and she is also the most powerful, she has the queen mother's personal order, and is in charge of all the palace maids in the harem except for the palace maids. Aunt Liyue usually treats people very kindly, with a pleasant face, and also cares about the palace people, but she does things equally, and she is also very fair and just, she takes reason as the foundation in everything, and any unreasonable hypocrisy is not good for her here, even the personal palace maid in the queen's palace is merciless and favoritism, which is very appreciated by the queen mother. The most important point is that she was appointed by the Queen Mother and matched with Zhou Liang, who was the first person around the emperor and couldn't do without a single step. These are enough to make all the palace maids present tremble for three days, especially the spiritual heart.

Qiaoxin was silent, and Aunt Liyue looked back at the other two little palace maids.

"Juan Xinxiuxin, which of the two of you said?" Although Aunt Liyue's tone was calm, her tone was already stern.

One of the palace maids whispered the cause and effect.

"We cleaned the little girl's body, as well as searched, this little girl has a small baggage, we want to search, she didn't give it, Sister Lingxin grabbed it, forcibly searched, who thought that this little girl ran over and pushed Sister Lingxin, Sister Lingxin was angry, so she pushed her, she didn't stand firm, fell on the bath bucket, Qiaoxin went to help her, she got up again and pushed Sister Lingxin down."

"You're lying!" Xing'er Zhengse pointed to the palace maid who spoke, without fear.

Aunt Liyue looked at the palace maid and stared at it for a few seconds, the palace maid's eyes flickered, she lowered her head in anticipation, and did not dare to make any more noise, clearly having a loss in her heart, and Liyue looked at Xiuxin next to her.

"Xiuxin, is that so?" This time, Liyue's tone and gaze were sharp.

The palace maid named Xiuxin sat down on the ground all of a sudden, trembling with fright.

"If you four don't tell the truth, you won't be able to get out of it! Now, follow me to see the Queen Mother! Aunt Liyue said sharply.

"Poof!" Lingxin fell to his knees and opened his mouth tremblingly.

"Auntie, yes...... It was I who robbed her of her baggage...... There are a lot of beaded jewelry in the baggage, and we are greedy for a while...... Divide and rob ...... Then she didn't like to hurt us, so I pushed her away, and she didn't stand on her feet and hit the tub...... The forehead was broken...... But, however, she also pushed me down......" Lingxin intermittently told what had happened, then lowered her head and sobbed in fear.

Liyue looked at Xing'er and looked around at the other three.

"Clever and beautiful, is that so?"

"Yes!" The three of them spoke in unison.

"Xing'er, is that so?"

"Hmm!" Xing'er nodded.

"Okay." Li Yue wiped the blood on Xing'er's face with a handkerchief again. "Qiaoxin, you bring Xing'er to my room, help her wash up, and then administer medicine."

Qiaoxin nodded and quickly left with Xing'er. Xing'er refused to leave, and her mother's things were still in their hands. If you don't get it back, how can you go?

"You go with Qiaoxin first, you won't be missing anything." Liyue said. "Juan, Xiu, you guys should go out too."

Xing'er followed Qiaoxin away, and Juanxiu and the others also left the room, leaving only Aunt Liyue and Lingxin in the room.

Liyue slowly walked towards Lingxin, the steps were slow and heavy, but every step was like stepping into the fear of Lingxin, Lingxin knelt on the ground, trembling incessantly, very afraid.

Suddenly, Retsuki grabbed Lingxin's chin and stared at her sternly.

"Do you think your wings are stiff?!" Liyue's voice was low.

"Auntie, aunt, I don't have ......" Lingxin was almost frightened out of her body by Liyue's deep voice, once upon a time, she had seen Aunt Liyue deal with palace people.

"Bullying the weak, and saying that the wings are not stiff?!" Retsuki's voice was lower.

"Auntie, I don't dare anymore! I beg my aunt to spare me this time...... Please. The spirit pleaded, and tears rolled down like beads of broken thread.

"I only saw this time, but, you are carrying the Queen Mother Lafayette, I don't know how many times you have done evil! When I see it once, it means a hundred times! Aunt Liyue's voice was low, almost like a hammer, and smashed into the spiritual heart.

"Nope! No! Auntie, the spirit knows that it is wrong, and it knows that it is wrong...... Lingxin swears, Lingxin is the first time to make a mistake. I swear......" Lingxin fell to the ground, clasped her hands on Retsuki's ankles, and pleaded.

"When I chose your 'dexterous Juanxiu' four people to serve the Queen Mother Lafayette closely, I said that no one can rely on the power of the Queen Mother to bully the people of the harem, do you remember?!"

"Remember, remember......"

"I also said, if I let me know, what will be the consequences?!" Aunt Retsuki let go of her hand. "Say!"

"Light, light, light corporal punishment...... Heavy, heavy......" Lingxin said and cried again, "Auntie, Lingxin knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore!" Please, please, please......"

"Say! What's the matter?! Retsuki's voice grew more and more stern.

"Heavy, heavy, according to the law to punish the crime plus one degree, the undead, stabbed with cheeks, sent back to the ......" Lingxin said and couldn't cry anymore.

"Well, it seems you remember it well. If I don't punish you, it will be difficult to convince the public, but I will also read your first offense, open up to you, and after we return to the palace in a few days, we will go to the Punishment Division to receive sixty boards! After saying that, Liyue turned around and wanted to leave.

Lingxin heard Liyue's fate to her, hesitated for a moment, and when she saw that Aunt Liyue was leaving, she grabbed Liyue's skirt again.

"Auntie, please, please! Lingxin knew that she was wrong, and she also knew that Lingxin's beating couldn't be avoided, but please ask my aunt to beat Lingxin a few less...... Sixty boards, Lingxin can't get out of bed for three months, Lingxin still wants to serve the Queen Mother Lafayette......"

"Can you still go back to the Queen Mother?!" Retsuki didn't look back. "From today onwards, you don't have to serve in front of the Queen Mother! Since you begged me, I can't bear it, so I will take thirty boards, copy the "Female Ring" three times, and I will arrange for you to go to other places on an errand and return to the Queen Mother...... You're going to die of this heart! ”

After saying that, Aunt Liyue left without looking back, leaving Lingxin alone to sit on the ground alone, crying bitterly. To say that she has no resentment, how can she not be? But she was powerless to resist. To say that she has no regrets, how can she not be? But regret doesn't help. Lingxin hated herself for not doing things thoroughly, and she was even more ruthless to protect Xing'er, she was also born in hardship, the whole family was counting on her, she endured in the palace for many years, and finally climbed to the queen mother to serve, if she served well, she could be like Aunt Liyue in the future, she was in power, and the famine at home could be reduced, or, one day, the emperor took a fancy to her...... It is not impossible for a family to flourish, but now ...... It's all because of that little girl! All the dreams of the spiritual heart were shattered, and the competitive heart was also shattered......

With a "tom", Lingxin's hand slammed into the ground, and Lingxin gritted his teeth.

"It's all to blame on that star, don't let me meet you in the palace, when I meet you, I will definitely receive today, ten times the return!!"

The spirit heart has a hideous face and a fierce light.
