"I heard that Concubine Sun was pushed into the water by the little maid in the palace, so you also punished her for kneeling in the courtyard for a short period of time, right?"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Tao Mingxi found a place to sit down and asked in a cold voice.

"Yes......" Sun Yingru nodded lightly, her voice was very low when she spoke, and she looked very obedient, but her tone was reasonable: "I was enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden today, but I never thought that the little maid suddenly ran over and pushed the concubine into the lake. ”

Sun Yingru said it in an orderly manner, and things should be handled like this, but Tao Mingxi's people were bullied, and she was very unhappy now.

"Who gave you the qualifications to dare to touch me?" asked coldly, looking at the other party's little face with sharp eyes, "Also, what evidence do you have to prove that Zhu'er pushed you into the lake?" ”

"What proof is needed for this...... The people around me were watching. Sun Yingru retorted, as soon as her words fell, several little maids around her and the mother-in-law quickly stood up and echoed: "Yes, this is indeed what the slaves and maids saw with their own eyes, and it was the little girl who ran over for no reason." ”

"They are all your people, how can this palace believe what they say?" Tao Mingxi snorted coldly and said expressionlessly.

"Niangniang, what you said is not right, if it wasn't for the little maid who pushed it, would our side concubine Niangniang jump into the river by herself?" A little maid next to her couldn't help but retort.

"When is your turn to interject here?" Tao Mingxi gave a cold look and successfully made the other party shut up, but it was not only this matter that she had to settle accounts now, "Let's not talk about this first, you taught the people of this palace without the consent of this palace, can you be guilty?" ”

"Concubine...... I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Sun Yingru raised her head to look at the other party, her eyes did not contain the slightest fear, and she looked unyielding: "She deliberately pushed the concubine into the lake, and the concubine punished her, there is nothing wrong with it, right?" Moreover...... Didn't the princess also punish the girl in the concubine's courtyard? ”

"Of course not!" Tao Mingxi said coldly, without a trace of warmth in his tone, and there was no expression on his face, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant: "This palace is the princess and the master of this backyard, so those little girls outside must obey your orders and obey the orders of this palace!" Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this palace punishing them. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Mingxi paused, and then continued,

"But Jewel is different! Not to mention that she is the dowry maid I brought from Fuyang Kingdom, and even the prince is not qualified to teach her a lesson. Regardless of this identity, she is also the personal maid of this palace, how can you teach a lesson? It's just a little side concubine, how qualified do you think you are? ”

As he spoke, his tone became colder and more aggressive!

"This ......"

Sun Yingru was really speechless at this time, although she was very humiliated in her heart, her identity was indeed one level lower than the other party, whether it was before or after entering the palace, so she had no way to refute Tao Mingxi's words!

"Nothing more?" Looking at each other coldly, Tao Mingxi was sneering in his heart, just your little care, dare to go against your aunt and grandmother? It's a little too tender!

"Princess." Tao Mingxi's words became sharper and sharper, and Sun Yingru's personal maid on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said dissatisfiedly: "The problem now is that the little maid deliberately pushed our mother into the water!" It's normal for us mothers to be angry and do things like that on impulse! You don't blame that little girl now, but you blame us and your mother, what's the reason? ”

"This matter will be settled with you later, but no matter what the reason, you are not qualified to move the people of this palace!" Tao Mingxi snorted coldly, she hadn't even taken the initiative to mention that matter, but these people took the initiative to bring it up? Are they all gone, so eager to be exposed?

"Don't talk about it." Knowing that she couldn't say it on her side, Sun Yingru took the initiative to show weakness: "This matter is indeed reckless by the concubine, and I ask the princess to punish her." ”

Hum! Let's show weakness now, at this time, the worse Tao Mingxi bullies her, the more disgusted the prince will be when he comes back!

Admit your mistake now, let the other party be proud for a while, and she will feel good when the prince comes back!

Tao Mingxi is not a fool, he naturally knows what the other party is planning in his heart, but he didn't expose it immediately, but walked down the steps, as if the other party had dug a pit at the bottom of the steps.

"For the sake of your good attitude of admitting your mistakes, this palace will not be so unkind." Hooking his lips, the corners of Tao Mingxi's mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning, which made people shudder when they looked at it: "Since you let Zhu'er kneel, then return it in the same way, for the sake of you being a first-time offender, you don't have to kneel for twelve hours like the two little girls outside, just one hour." ”

Saying that, Tao Mingxi looked at her coldly, and said without a trace of warmth: "Don't say that this palace abuses you, this punishment can be implemented after your body is well-healed, but you must kneel for an hour, and you can't breathe less!" ”

“…… Be. ”

This punishment is indeed a bit ruthless, but Sun Yingru is sure in her heart that it will take three or five days for her body to be well maintained, and the prince will come back later.

When the prince comes back and knows what Tao Mingxi has done, he will definitely punish her! At that time, I can definitely be spared this punishment, so no matter how heavy the punishment is, it doesn't hurt to come down now.

"At that time, the palace will send someone to supervise you." He had already seen through what the other party was thinking, but Tao Mingxi didn't pierce it and said lightly.

Sun Yingru obediently responded, on the surface she looked harmless to humans and animals, looking at her expression, who would have thought that she could do such a vicious thing?

It really responded to the sentence "It is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and draw the bones, and you don't know the face but not the heart"!

"Okay, this matter is over." Now that the punishment has been set, Tao Mingxi didn't say anything more to her, and moved the topic out: "Then let's talk about what you said, Zhu'er pushed you into the water!" ”

In this matter, Tao Mingxi never doubted Zhu'er from beginning to end, not to mention that their reasons were too clumsy, Zhu'er was not the kind of person who would harm people at all!

That girl, who was obviously born in the big dye vat in the palace, has a purer mind than anyone else.
