"The master's mind is what we are speculating about as slaves and maids, so it is better to go over early, so as not to make the master wait too long." Qiao Ci said.

Xiangtao hurriedly handed the melon seeds to Xiumo on the side, lowered her head and straightened her clothes, and responded: "What the girl said is that the slave will go with you."

After that, seeing Qiao Ci walking in front, he stepped up and followed, and vaguely heard the voice of envy behind him.

"Look, the peach is going to receive the reward."

The room was filled with the scent of gardenias, and Jin Zhao gently cupped his cheeks in contemplation.

"Miss."

Qiaoci whispered softly in her ear.

Hearing this, Jin Zhao came back to his senses.

Xiang Tao stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully: "Slave Xiang Tao has seen the imperial concubine."

Jin Zhao's gaze swept over her slightly, raised his hand, and said in a light tone: "Get up."

"Yes." Xiang Tao responded, but secretly thought to herself, isn't it really like what those girls said, the princess is going to reward her.

Thinking of this, Xiangtao was a little excited for a while, secretly thinking that the imperial concubine would reward her with something good, preferably better than Qiaoci's, how to say that it was because of her that Yubi could be successfully driven out of the mansion, and it could be regarded as helping the imperial concubine solve the troubles in the mansion.

It's just that Jin Zhao didn't speak for a long time, which made her a little confused and even overwhelmed.

Jin Zhao looked at Xiang Tao quietly for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Do you know what is wrong?"

When the words fell, Xiang Tao looked slightly stunned, paused, and then whispered: "Slave maid...... The slave is stupid and doesn't know what the princess is referring to? ”

Inevitably giving people a glimpse of the panic in her heart, she tried her best to look calm.

But no matter how deliberately she concealed it, how could she hide it from Jin Zhao, who had lived in the deep palace for decades, and she was used to seeing big scenes, how could she be blinded by a little trick played by an innocent girl. In the matter of Yubi, she can see it better than anyone else.

Maybe it was because the hand on his cheek was a little sore, so he subconsciously changed his posture, Jin Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Where are you stupid, in my opinion, you are much smarter than that Yubi."

Being smart is not a bad thing, if you rely on your own cleverness to harm others, then it is better to break this idea as soon as possible.

There were words in Jin Zhao's words, and the always clever Xiang Tao heard some of them, but she didn't fully understand them.

Xiang Tao replied in a low voice: "The slave doesn't understand what the princess means, if the slave does something wrong and makes you unhappy, please punish you." It's just that the slave doesn't want to be punished unclearly, so please make it clear. ”

In the matter of Yubi, it is clear that she has the most credit, if she hadn't told Qiaoci Yubi to enter her house, how could she have searched for earrings from Yubi's house in front of everyone, it stands to reason that the imperial concubine should give her a credit for the first time, but listening to the tone of the imperial concubine, it doesn't seem to be the case.

It's just that she thinks that what she does is seamless, and she can hide it from the world, but she doesn't know that others are not all fools.

No matter how well-designed the scam is, there will eventually be a time when the flaws will be revealed. What's more, Su Jinzhao has seen a lot of such a little trick before, and he can see through it at a glance.

Jin Zhao raised his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Qiaoci's earrings were stolen by you and put in the Yubi House, deliberately framed her, don't tell me, you don't know about this matter."

After hearing this, Xiang Tao's body suddenly froze, looked at the calm woman in front of her in disbelief, and said weakly: "No...... The slave didn't, it was Yubi who was greedy and stole the ear pendant, and it had nothing to do with the slave and the maid, the princess didn't listen to other people's words, wronged the slave and the maid, and the slave didn't do it. ”

It's a hard-mouthed maid.

The corners of Jin Zhao's mouth raised slightly: "Wronged? Whether it is wronged or not, you should know in your heart. Then, he glanced at Qiaoci.

Qiaoci understood, stepped forward and said: "You hated Yubi for beating you, so you held a grudge, secretly entered my house and stole the earrings to blame Yubi, and then pretended to be a good person to report to me, saying that you saw Yubi enter my house." How could you be so coincidentally bumped into you, this is too much of a coincidence, and then you were worried that the incident would implicate yourself, so you repeatedly told me not to reveal it to others, if what you said is the truth, why not be afraid of being known, in the final analysis, or you have a ghost in your heart. Borrow my hand to get rid of Yubi, I can't see it, you are really a good means, I originally underestimated you. ”

Qiaoci said everything reasonably, as if she had seen it with her own ears.

Xiangtao bit her lip and asked rhetorically: "This is just your speculation, and it can't be concluded that it is Yubi who I framed.

Qiao Ci shook her head, it was all on this, but she still didn't admit it, she continued: "In the end, you are too anxious, you want to take revenge on Yubi, you calculated the right time and pretended to come over to tell you, but you didn't expect to sell yourself." This kind of thing, if you are a bystander, you can generally avoid it, you have always had a good relationship with Yubi before, how can you easily expose her, if you don't have a lot of dissatisfaction and grudge against her in your heart, how can you be smart but be smart and expose yourself in advance. ”

Xiang Tao's face instantly became ugly, and her body trembled, she never thought that things would turn out like this, how did she know that the new imperial concubine was far smarter than she thought, and she saw through her plan without a single soldier. Moreover, he was still talking to her so lightly at the moment, but there was no trace of annoyance on his face. As if everything was under her control, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiang Tao's eyes, and the calm woman in front of her really shouldn't be the calm she should have at her age.

Xiangtao originally wanted to struggle again, to resist death, but when she thought of Yubi before, the thought in her heart had to be abandoned.

Even if she did, I'm afraid it wouldn't be of much use.

Xiang Tao no longer concealed it, her legs were weak, she knelt in front of Jin Zhao, and said: "Back to the imperial concubine, as Miss Qiaoci said, it was indeed the slave maid who sneaked into her house, stole the earrings and took advantage of Yubi to go out, secretly put them in her house, and framed her to blame, so that she could not argue, the slave maid thought that this matter was done unknowingly, and no one would find out, but I didn't expect the princess to be a person who understood and saw the whole thing clearly."

Qingwen on the side heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Your heart is not better than that Yubi, she just beat you, but you want to harm her so far."

Xiangtao was flustered and explained: "I didn't want to harm her to such a field, I originally wanted to teach her a lesson and kill her prestige, so that she could restrain herself in the future and stop bullying people at will. This result was something that the slave never expected. ”
