Chapter 215: The Man Behind the Scenes Strikes Again
Mama Zhang said coldly: "Who has been to the West Treasury today, stand up honestly." If you stand up now, you can also be punished lightly. If I wait until I pull people out, then wait for a layer to be removed. ā
The palace maids standing in the courtyard looked at each other, their eyes full of shock, but no one stood up.
Mama Zhang looked at the palace maids with cold eyes, "Search!" ā
Several palace maids began to search room by room, room by room, the atmosphere in the huge courtyard was solemn, and everyone did not dare to say anything.
After a long time, a palace maid came out with an object, walked in front of Mama Zhang, and handed it to her. After Mama Zhang saw Shou Dan, her face was gloomy, "Now give you one last chance to hand over the rest of the things." ā
The palace maids stared at the birthday egg in Mama Zhang's hand, many people didn't know what this thing was, but it must not be a small thing to alarm Mama Zhang with such fanfare.
Still no one came forward.
Mama Zhang said, "Yao Xi came out." ā
A fifteen-year-old, delicate and cute little palace maid walked out of the crowd and stood in front of her with a nervous and blindfolded face.
"This is a birthday egg from your bed." Mama Zhang said.
When the little palace maids below heard the name 'Shoudan', they all showed curiosity and abruptness.
"So this is Shoudan."
"I heard that Empress Hyo-hyun made it."
"This birthday egg is precious, only dignitaries can eat it. Last time, the grandfather of our family got dozens of birthday eggs from the Ye family after a lot of connections. ā
"I've never seen a shouba."
"Me too."
"Shou Dan looks like this, I always thought it was red, especially festive."
The little palace maids below were discussing carefully, but Yao Xi was shocked.
"Mama, IāI've never taken this thing. I don't even know what it is? How could I possibly take it. Yao Xi explained nervously and panickedly.
A palace maid snorted coldly: "The thing was found on your bed, and you still want to quibble." ā
"I don't know how it ended up in my bed." Yao Xi was so anxious that she was about to cry, she really didn't know why Shou Dan appeared here.
After seeing the birthday eggs, the palace maids below returned their attention to Yao Xi's body again, and some people began to mumble quietly.
"Yao Xi is really miserable this time."
"Even if Yao Xi doesn't die this time, I'm afraid he will be punished to a place like the Huanyi Bureau."
"Why can't she think about it, with her performance, even if she can't be assigned to all kinds of mothers, she can go to the twenty-four divisions."
"I heard that Yao Xi was originally going to go to the Imperial Garden to be a palace maid."
Ye Ziqi had been paying attention to the palace maids below talking in a low voice, and when he heard the sentence 'cleaning the palace maids in the imperial garden', his heart sank. Originally, it was not possible to determine whether it was a coincidence, but now it is certain that the person who framed Yun Niang in his previous life jumped out again. It's just that this time there is no Yun Niang, and she is replaced by Yao Xi.
Mama Zhang didn't listen at all, and directly ordered: "Yao Xi's hands and feet are not clean, stealing three birthday eggs, according to the palace rules, beating thirty with a cane, and distributing the Huanyi Bureau." ā
Yao Xi panicked, "Mama, I was wronged." I haven't done it. ā
Two palace maids stepped forward and wanted to drag Yao Xi down for execution.
"Wait." Ye Ziqi walked out from the rear.
