Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao Zhengzheng had already heard about Xiao Qiongzhi beating Concubine Xiaode in the cafeteria.

They took it for granted that Xiao Xuanliang called them over to stand up for Concubine Xiaode.

The two fools agreed, and angrily pointed their fingers at Xiao Qiongzhi: "It was her maid who beat her!" ”

"Why did her maid ring beat you?" Xiao Xuanliang asked again in a different voice.

"This ......" in front of Xiao Xuanliang, they didn't dare to tell lies, let alone tell the truth, you look at each other, I look at you, and they didn't have a reputation for "this" for a long time.

Hongxing took the opportunity to kneel down and explained to Xiao Xuanliang: "Your Majesty, when my master went to school in the morning, he was seen by them and Zhang Ruoyao, the second lady of the Zhang family, and they ......."

Next, Hongxing learned the dialogue between Zhang Ruoyao, Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao to the four of them word for word.

Xiao Xuanliang noticed one of the key points, turned his head and asked Xiao Qiongzhi: "How could Zhi'er go to school with Prince Nan Qixuan?" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to tell the truth about Prince Xuan's encounter with Xiao Zhenjia and Xiao Zhengzhen when he was looking for King Ning under Dugu Peak.

Xiao Xuanliang listened carefully, and instantly recalled some past events.

He looked regretful: "It's been eight years since I took your grandfather and your father to Dugu Peak to chase the deer together." Before that, I had always arranged the roast deer banquet at our house. ”

"You, Prince Xuan, and Jin Jia's yesterday were all good luck!"

"Your Majesty, you are also a good mouthful!"

"I went to school today and brought two deer legs roasted yesterday, and I was going to give them to Prince Yi to taste, but he only accepted one, and there happens to be one left, so I'll go and get it for you." Xiao Jinjia immediately lost no time in flattering.

This drill camp ability is really good, no wonder it can be appreciated by Prince Yi and Prince Xuan at the same time.

Xiao Qiongzhi silently gave Xiao Jinjia a big thumbs up in his heart.

"Good! I didn't expect Yi'er and I's mouth to be good, haha, go, go and come back quickly. Xiao Xuanliang was very satisfied with Xiao Jinjia's performance, and he looked at his back and smiled kindly.

What this means, goes without saying.

Although Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao are more stupid, they always look at their eyes, and they all regret their deaths.

Among them, Tan Hui's reaction was a little faster than Liao Shuangshuang and Liao Pair.

She began to kowtow to Xiao Xuanliang vigorously, and said, "Your Majesty, I have no eyes, and I shouldn't be looking for a reason, and it's not the one who counts down the county lord of Zhongling." ”

"However, Lord Zhongling's maid ring has already taught me a lesson, I won't dare next time, please take it lightly-"

"Wait!" When Concubine Xiaode heard this, she suddenly interrupted Tan Hui's words.

She looked at Xiao Xuanliang, with a complacent look, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have made a major discovery!" ”

Xiao Xuanliang looked at her with a careless look, a little curious, and subconsciously asked, "What major discovery?" ”

Concubine Xiaode said very seriously: "What Zhongling County Lord Yahuan just said, about Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao's logarithmic fall to Zhongling County Lord, is completely different from what I heard from He Hoe and Dai Yue slandering Xiao Qiongzhi, it should be irrelevant!" ”

"You say, could it be that He Hoe and Dai Yue were falsely accusing Tan Hui and Liao Shuangshuang and Liao of being right?"

"What did they falsely accuse us of?" Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao all heard that something was wrong, and turned their heads in unison to ask Concubine Xiaode.

Concubine Xiaode immediately told them the whole story of the lotus hoe and the troubled water east.

Tan Hui, Liao Shuangshuang, and Liao were all stunned.

After they came back to their senses, they shouted to Xiao Xuanliang one after another: "Your Majesty, we have not criticized the Prince's Mansion in front of Zhang Huitong and Zhang Ruoyao at all. ”

"Even when it comes to the county lord of Zhongling, we also seek truth in real time, and only mention what we heard about the second son of Bai wanting to divorce her and marry the sisters of the Yan family."

Tan Hui deliberately emphasized again: "I didn't compare the county lord of Zhongling with the sisters of the Yan family at all. What He hoe and Dai Yue said to Concubine Xiaode have nothing to do with us at all. ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I can swear, I really didn't say what Lotus Hoe and Dai Yue said, if I did, I would be called five thunders in the sky!" Liao Shuangbi raised his hand as he spoke, really vowing.

"Your Majesty, we can swear too!" Tan Hui and Liao are right, they both think that Liao Shuangshuang's trick is good, and they have learned from each other.

Xiao Xuanliang was a little bit of a headache when they quarreled.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Huitong and Zhang Ruoyao, and asked solemnly: "Zhang Huitong, Zhang Ruoyao, tell me, did Tan Hui and Liao Shuangshuang talk to you about the hoe and what Dai Yue told Concubine Xiaode at that time?" ”

Zhang Ruoyao was afraid of taking responsibility, so she replied blankly: "I was busy rushing to school at the time, so I didn't pay attention to what they were saying, and I didn't know ......."

Zhang Huitong was relieved when she saw her say this, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Tan Hui and Liao Shuangshuang and Liao are right, and they always like to play right and wrong in front of my sister." ”

"My sister is kind and always persuades them, and I used to persuade them, but later, I found that they didn't listen to persuasion at all, so I didn't persuade them, but since the beginning of the year, I have never listened to what they are saying."

Xiao Xuanliang's face changed for the better, and he nodded: "Zhang Huitong, you did the right thing at this point, but you should also take care of your maid ring, otherwise, they made mistakes, and you, the master, still have a certain responsibility." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will definitely take this as a warning in the future. Zhang Huitong immediately agreed obediently.

Xiao Qiongzhi felt a pang of regret in her heart.

It seems that the emperor is looking at the face of Zhang Taishi and Empress Dongxingguo, and he has the intention to favor Zhang Huitong and Zhang Ruoyu, otherwise, even if they pretend to be confused and really investigate, they can still find loopholes.

For example, He Hoe and Dai Yue are the maids next to Zhang Huitong, they are on the side, they all claim to have heard what Tan Hui and Liao Shuangshuang said, and Zhang Huitong is not deaf, even if he doesn't listen, in fact, he must have heard it!

At this time, Xiao Xuanliang had already made a decision.

He glanced at everyone in the main hall and said solemnly: "Zhilan Courtyard is a place that cultivates a model of virtuous and virtuous women, and no one, for any reason, destroys or insults it, and it cannot be tolerated. ”

"Lotus hoe, Dai Yue, there is a deliberate criticism of the prince's mansion and the lord of Zhongling, causing the suspicion of conflict between Concubine Xiaode and the eldest lady of the prince's mansion, Xiao Qiongzhi, the responsibility is unshirkable, and the cane is blamed for fifty boards, in order to set an example!"

"Zhang Huitong, the eldest lady of the Taishi Mansion, as the master of the lotus hoe and Dai Yue, has the responsibility of being ineffective and not strict in discipline, and apologizes to the county lord Zhongling in public."

"Concubine Xiaode was bewitched by the hoe and Dai Yue, and without finding out the truth of the matter, she criticized the prince's mansion and the county lord Zhongling in public, which is unseemly and duty-bound."

"But Nian Zai didn't make a big mistake, and he has been punished by the lord of Zhongling County, so he was lightly punished, and the title of 'De' was cancelled, and he was demoted from the second concubine to the third concubine."

"Tan Hui and Liao Shuangshuang and Liao are right, although they did not participate in the conflict between Wu Bilian and the county lord Zhong Ling, but the matter started because of them, and it is their responsibility to be expelled and discharged from the hospital!"

"Your Majesty! He hoe and Dai Yue have never made a mistake in ordinary times, this time it is just the first offense, and besides, they are women, not men, and the fifty board will kill them, can't-"
