After coming out of prison, Xia Chutao's face did not ease in the slightest, and she still looked very dignified.

The jade pot that followed him didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow honestly by Xia Chutao's side.

"Auntie...... Is my aunt okay? ”

"It's fine."

Xia Chutao spoke lightly, but there were some things that he couldn't figure out and felt confused.

There has always been intrigue in the palace, and she knows this very well, and she has been mentally prepared for it early on.

"Just thought it was weird."

Xia Chutao muttered in such a low voice, his thoughts were flying, as if he had been thinking about things.

The jade pot on the side saw Xia Chutao like this, so he asked tentatively.

"What is my aunt wondering about?"

Xia Chutao glanced at the jade pot, originally wanted to say something, but it also stopped abruptly.

She glanced at the jade pot with a deep gaze, and then took back the words that came to her lips.

"No, it's fine."

Xia Chutao retracted her gaze and began to look at the palace road in front of her.

And Xia Chutao, who was walking patiently, naturally didn't notice the flash of light in the eyes of the jade pot.

"How the hell is it! You smashed this pot of green chrysanthemums alive! How are you going to explain to Min Guiren?! Just such a pot of green chrysanthemums, I'm afraid that your life can't afford it! ”

Xia Chutao was originally thinking about things, but she heard the woman's sobbing and the eunuch's sharp scolding voice, and other than that, they were all filthy words, which really made people feel unbearable.

Xia Chutao didn't expect that it was all in a place like the palace, and there were people who spoke like this and didn't pay attention to the wording, it was really obscure, and Xia Chutao felt that she couldn't listen to it.

"What's going on?"

Xia Chutao couldn't help but ask the jade pot beside her, she was more familiar with the things in the palace than herself.

The jade pot stopped with Xia Chutao and looked at it carefully, and recognized it at a glance.

"Oh, if you go back to my aunt, that father-in-law seems to be from the Imperial Garden Flower Room."

"Father-in-law of the flower house?"

At the beginning of the summer, Tao was also interested in seeing what could make this father-in-law scold.

A few steps forward, Xia Chutao saw clearly that the person kneeling on the ground was a petite and thin palace maid, holding a pot of unusually good-looking green chrysanthemums in her arms, but the pot of this green chrysanthemum was already broken, and it was really bad for such a good green chrysanthemum.

The palace maid hugged this pot of broken green chrysanthemums, crying tears like rain, looking at a loss, and her face was swollen on one side, red, presumably she was beaten lightly.

"Father-in-law, what's going on?"

Xia Chutao opened his mouth on the side, and when the father-in-law saw it, he also recognized it as Shang Yi of Qingquan Palace, and he immediately became polite to Xia Chutao.

"Oh, isn't this Aunt Shangyi?"

"This girl who doesn't know what to do has broken the green chrysanthemum that she wants to give to Min Guiren, the cultivation of this green chrysanthemum is extremely difficult, this girl fell and directly lost so many people's hard work, the key is that now the slave doesn't know how to explain to Min Guiren."

Xia Chutao glanced at the green chrysanthemum, and then looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and really felt that she was pitiful.

"Even if the green chrysanthemum is broken, but I look at the broken only pots, this green chrysanthemum is still blooming colorful, it still looks pleasing to the eye, there is really nothing. It's the same for my father-in-law to go back to the flower room to change the flower pot, but I don't have to beat a small maid like this for a pot of flowers. ”

When the father-in-law heard that Xia Chutao was actually speaking for this servant, his eyes became sharp, and there was a little bit of bitterness.

"Hey, my aunt is also from the Shangyi Bureau in the end, I know best what a slave should do good things, such a thing is a good thing, such a pot of precious green chrysanthemums is worth more than her cheap life, auntie, don't be mistaken, I'm just doing things for the emperor."

Xia Chutao raised her eyebrows, looked at her father-in-law in front of her, and smiled.

"Doing things for the emperor? Is a pot of green chrysanthemum more expensive than a person's life, is it the truth that the emperor explained to you? ”

When the father-in-law heard this, he was speechless for a while, he also knew that this Shang Yi was powerful, there were more or less rumors about her in the palace, and he also knew that the person in front of him could not be provoked by himself at all.

Hearing Xia Chutao say this again, this father-in-law's face changed completely.

"It's not like this, it's just that the slaves do things for the emperor, and they do things for the masters of the palaces, so they naturally have to be conscientious."

"Your Majesty put down the rebellion, and the situation in the palace is slowly getting better, and now there are not many people in the palace, and sometimes there are no people when you have to use them. The emperor even said that he should be lenient with his subordinates, who taught you the truth? ”

"If this matter is put in front of the emperor, how do you think the emperor will decide?"

The father-in-law's face changed completely, the aunt in front of him was more able to speak well than he imagined, and in the face of such words, he was speechless for a while.

"What does my aunt think she should do?"

He was a little compromised, and there was really nothing he could do in the face of Xia Chutao's sharp words.

"If you do something wrong, you must be punished, but it must be moderate. As for this pot of green chrysanthemum, it would be nice to get a new pot like I said, and if you take it to change it now, it is estimated that you will be able to catch up. ”

The father-in-law gritted his teeth and looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, but he didn't expect that a summer peach would come out at this time to help her, but he could only hate the authentic way.

"If that's the case, even if this servant is punished, the flower room will not be wanted."

"Don't want it?"

Xia Chutao raised her eyebrows, but she had her own thoughts in her heart, and said to her father-in-law with a smile.

"Then I want it."

As he spoke, he said to the palace maid kneeling in front of him.

"You smashed the green chrysanthemum of the Min nobles, and the rules in the palace still can't be avoided. So you go and get thirty boards yourself and then come to the Qingquan Palace, you will be a member of the Shangyi Bureau in the future, as for the one to go to, wait until you come. ”

Xia Chutao is tantamount to a life-saving straw for this palace maid, and the palace maid is almost desperate, even if she is unwilling to let go.

"Yes, the maid thanked Aunt Shangyi!"

"Go ahead."

Xia Chutao saw that this matter was also a happy end, so she also turned around and left to go back to her Qingquan Palace.

……

After Xia Chutao returned to Qingquan Palace, he sat in his lobby for a long time, and finally saw Nanzhu come in to report.

"Auntie, the palace maid from the flower room is here."

Thinking that it was almost this time, I beckoned.

"Call her in."

As soon as the words fell, the palace maid came in tremblingly, and then knelt down directly in front of Xia Chutao as if she couldn't support it.

"I've seen my aunt, thank you for saving my life."

Xia Chutao looked at this, she looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was really difficult to experience such a thing.

"Does it hurt?"

Xia Chutao didn't say anything else, just asked softly.

"Huh?"

The palace maid seemed to be a little at a loss, but she didn't expect Xia Chutao to ask herself about this matter as soon as she came up.

She slowed down for a while before she realized that Xia Chutao was talking about the board she had just received, and she said it truthfully.

"It hurts."

"I've wronged you, but the rules in the palace still can't be broken."

The palace maid immediately shook her head, very grateful.

"No, my aunt is already a great favor like this."

"You're a sensible one, what do you say your name is?"

"Son-in-law, her name is Fang Lan."

"Fang Lan, good name, it's really with you to do things in the flower room."

Xia Chutao nodded, still preferring the name.

"But if you work in Shangyi Bureau, you have to change your name, and you will be called ...... in the future Jin Ling. ”

Jin Ling looked at Xia Chutao with some astonishment, she was so dignified and gentle, she could directly see that she was distracted, and when she heard Xia Chutao arrange for herself like this, Jin Ling hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, the maid listens to my aunt."

"Come on."

Xia Chutao beckoned to Jin Ling at this time and said.

"Come here, I'll give you medicine."

Jin Ling felt even more stunned, and she didn't dare to move forward, just looking at the medicine box in Xia Chutao's hand and being stunned.

"Why are you still stunned, is it possible that your aunt will invite you?"

Seeing this, Nanzhu on the side couldn't help but urge.

Jin Ling came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly came to Xia Chutao's face.

"Yes...... Thank you Auntie. ”

Xia Chutao patiently medicated the injured places on Jin Ling's body, but when she opened her clothes, she inevitably saw that there seemed to be many other injuries on Jin Ling's body, new and old, more than some, which looked very scary.

Xia Chutao couldn't help but be stunned when she saw these injuries, but Jin Ling put down her clothes at a loss, looking embarrassed.

"Scared my aunt......"

Xia Chutao can still remember the appearance of Jin Ling's injuries now, and seeing that they all hurt for her, she couldn't help but gasp and ask.

"What's going on with these injuries......"

"Huang Gonggong has always liked to beat people, he doesn't fight a little bit of things as he likes, he fights happily, and he fights when he's unhappy, but he beats harder. The servant is also used to it, and there is nothing. ”

Xia Chutao knew that this maid was talking about the father-in-law of the flower house, so she couldn't help but say something.

"I didn't expect some people to look like people, but they are no different from animals."

Xia Chutao snorted coldly and put the medicine back.

Jin Ling heard Xia Chutao say this, this is the way to Xia Chutao.

"Therefore, my aunt not only saved the maid's life today, but also saved the maid from the dire situation, and the maid has nothing to repay, but can only do things for my aunt with all her heart."

Xia Chutao smiled faintly.

"That's enough for you."
