The words of the noble concubine were tantamount to a thunderbolt, which exploded in the entire Zhongcui Palace.

During the Lantern Festival, the concubine was not in the palace, and the palace maids in the palace were guarding and stealing, and such a thing happened in Zhongcui Palace.

This has nothing to do with Tao Ran, who followed Concubine Lan to the banquet, Mama Jiang and Grandpa An naturally have nothing to do with it, but other palace maids may not.

"This makes it difficult for Hongu to accept."

Lan Guifei looked at all the palace maids with a smile, as if she had a cold poisonous snake hidden in her eyes.

Her voice was very cold, with a heavy gloom: "How did Bengong and Mama Jiang teach you on weekdays?" Have you all forgotten?! ”

All the palace maids she had seen were trembling and couldn't say a word, bowing their heads, not daring to look at her.

Mama Jiang on the side walked forward with a whip, her old face was withered and difficult, "The magnolia hairpin of the concubine is worth 10,000 gold, it is made of the best Hetian warm jade in the Western Regions, and it is personally rewarded by the emperor, it is a royal holy product, and the concubine is reluctant to wear it on weekdays, but you pickled goods have such thoughts, today my grandmother wants to see who is so bold!" ”

After that, Mama Jiang whipped the nearest palace maid.

"Today, I'm going to smoke you one by one and beat you to death until you hit the culprit!"

After that, she stepped forward and proposed that the tearful palace maid who had been smoked was going to be tortured, and the palace maid trembled with fright, screaming and begging for mercy, and crying profusely.

Mama Jiang was unmoved, and hit her with whips one by one, picking on the sore spots, and the palace maid who was whipped with a few whips was drenched in blood and fainted.

This scene, in the eyes of others, is quite tragic.

"I know the character of your little hooves, and I know in my heart that the concubine is tolerant and generous, so I began to have thoughts that I shouldn't have, and I want to get by, and now I want you to remember that a slave is a slave!"

Mama Jiang dragged someone out again, and for a while, the entire Zhong Cui Palace cried and called her mother, and the wind was sad.

But no one dared to resist, for fear that the inhuman Mama Jiang would beat herself to death.

"Don't say yes! Not to mention! ”

The blood stained on the white jade, and the shocking red color boosted Mama Jiang's arrogance, and she fought more and more vigorously, and there was a lot of force, beating people to death ruthlessly.

The concubine on the side was as if she was watching a big show, her eyes didn't blink, and she was not moved at all.

Father-in-law An brought her a chair out, served tea and water, and was very attentive.

The palace maids were beaten in a mess and kept asking for mercy, but telling for mercy is the most useless thing, which can only stimulate people's tyrannical desires.

The rest of the palace maids who had not yet taken their turn panicked, for fear that the next one would be their own disaster, they looked at the people around them, and prayed that the one who had stolen the things of the concubine would quickly stand up and let them not be whipped.

However, no one responded.

If no one reacts, then they will all be killed.

There is no shortage of palace maids in the palace.

Mama Jiang exerted her strength, and when she was about to pull someone out again, Xia Qiu spoke.

"I'm afraid it's not a matter for my mother to go on like this."

Her voice was very abrupt, which made everyone stunned, and Lan Guifei lifted her eyelids and looked at her, "Do you have any good opinions?" ”

Xia Qiu stepped forward and knelt in front of her respectfully, "Instead of wasting time here, the slave maid thinks that it is better to search vigorously and search each palace maid's room, I am afraid that Niangniang's hairpin will be found soon, and it can also punish the real wicked, what does Niangniang think?" ”

Xia Qiu's words are decent, and it is a common practice in the palace.

Originally, Concubine Lan also planned to do this, but in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, after winning Mama Jiang's opinion, she came to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

Now, the palace maids have been frightened to the point that their faces are colorless, and they will not be confused in the future, this killing of chickens and monkeys is considered a success, and naturally they can't continue, which ruins her gentle and kind virtues.

"You're saying a good thing."

She gave Xia Qiu an appreciative look, and stopped what Mama Jiang was doing in a blink of an eye: "Enough, take someone to search the house."

Mama Jiang put away her whip and respectfully led people to search the house.

Lan Guifei didn't look at the beaten flesh and blood of the palace maids, and said with a smile: "Whoever took the hairpin of this palace, it is not too late to stand up now, this palace can see that in the case of the first offense, go around her life, if you have to fight to the end with this palace, when you find the hairpin, this palace will not bypass her."

She said lightly, but the coldness in her words made everyone's hearts chill.

Xia Qiu glanced sideways at Wen Cha, who was still calm, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wen Cha noticed her gaze and lowered her gaze.

This time, I'm afraid it won't be good.

Soon, Mama Jiang turned out all the palace maid's things, and the concubine went over, saw the things falling on the ground, and asked, "Where are the things?"

Mama Jiang dragged out a cloth bag from under the bed, opened the cloth bag, and quickly found the delicate and luxurious hairpin.

Seeing the hairpin, the concubine took it and looked at everyone coldly, "Whose bed is that?" ”

The eyes of the palace maids fell on Wen Cha in unison.

The smile on the corner of Xia Qiu's mouth deepened faintly, "Yu Niangniang, that is the third-class palace maid who lives with the slave maid, Xiaocha's bed." ”

Small tea?

"Who is Xiaocha?" Mama Jiang's face suddenly darkened, "Stand up for me!" ”

Wen Cha walked out with his feet raised, "It's a slave." ”

Mama Jiang strode over, grabbed Wen Cha's clothes, and shook her hand to hit Wen Cha's face, "You little hoof, so bold!" ”

Wen Cha grabbed her hand, without a trace of fear on her face, "Mama thought that she had found something from under the slave's bed, so she recognized that the slave maid had taken it?" ”

"Not who you are?!"

Mama Jiang was grabbed by her hand, and a burst of anger arose in her heart, "The physical evidence is here, you shameless, you dare to deny it?!" ”

"The slave did not deny it."

Wen Cha shook her head, "It's just that the slave has never taken Niangniang's things, and she never dares to admit such a crime, and I hope that Niangniang and Grandma will find out." ”

Mama Jiang looked at her and didn't admit it, she was angry, what she hated most in her life was people who disobeyed her, especially the slaves and maids who disobeyed her.

The lives of these subordinates are not valuable, and they can make their lives worse than death by finding a reason, and they have never met a hard bone like Wen Cha who does not admit his debts.

"You still want to lie!"

She was about to fall on Wen Cha with the whip, "You slut, don't try to hide it from my eyes!" ”

Her face was extremely hideous, soaked in the blood of the palace, making her look extremely vicious, like a ghost.

Wen Cha raised her hand, took her whip, and her eyes fell on Xia Qiu who was not far away, "Mama just found something under the slave's bed, but it doesn't mean that the slave and maid stole Niangniang's things, the slave and maid are just a third-class palace maid, and they are not qualified to enter the main hall, and on the night of the Lantern Festival, there are palace maids in the main hall on duty, and the slave maid is bold, and there is no such opportunity." ”
