Chapter 25: Reckoning
Zhao Mei let out a low snort, obviously angry. Xiao Dezi hurriedly put his head on the stone bricks, and squeezed out a sentence in a low and almost inaudible voice, "The reunion is gone." ”
"Gone? What is called gone! ”
Zhao Mei's eyes turned red in an instant, and he looked down at Xiao Dezi, as if he wanted to see two skeletons on people.
Xiao Dezi shook violently, "The slaves and maids were found in the lake in the Imperial Garden, and when they were found, they were already ...... Already ......"
Two lines of tears slipped down Zhao Mei's eyes, and she was about to rush out, "No, I don't believe it, it must be you minions who didn't bother to find it, how can I say that my reunion is so cute." ”
Xing'er hurriedly rushed up to stop Zhao Mei, and coaxed and persuaded her. Xiao Mingze glanced at Zhao Mei and asked Xiao Dezi again, and Xiao Dezi said it again.
Zhao Mei suddenly rushed over and grabbed Xiao Mingze's sleeve, a pair of big almond eyes were full of tears, and the drooping eyes were slightly red, which was very cute. "Brother Mingze, reunion has always been very well-behaved, you know. Someone must have deliberately harmed the reunion, Brother Mingze, you can't let the reunion be unjust. ”
Xiao Mingze met Zhao Mei's eyes, sighed helplessly, gently touched the top of Zhao Mei's head with his broad palm, and pressed the person on the soft stool again, "Okay Mei'er, don't be sad, just let the Rare Bird Pavilion choose one more." ”
Zhao Mei tugged on Xiao Mingze's sleeve and refused to let go, "But reunion is reunion, no matter how good other dogs are, it is not my reunion." ”
Xiao Mingze's eyebrows were gently squeezed together, and his eyes were frozen between them. A little palace maid walked out of the corner, and knelt next to Xiao Dezi with a plop, "The slave maid saw Xie Zhangshi teasing the reunion on the palace road this evening, and the slave maid didn't dare to deceive. ”
Zhao Mei's eyes lit up instantly, and he pulled Xiao Mingze's sleeve and became more and more pitiful, and his voice was poignant, "Mei'er entered the palace not long ago, and there was no grievance with anyone, if you only said that on the first day of entering the palace, she unintentionally splashed tea on Xie Zhangshi's body." Even if Xie Zhangshi resents Mei'er, but the reunion is so small, it doesn't understand anything, it is innocent. ”
Zhao Mei's expression was too desolate, and Xiao Mingze couldn't refuse Zhao Mei's intention anymore, so he could only turn cold, "Go and pass Xie Wan over." ”
When Xie Wan entered the courtyard, he saw Xiao Mingze sitting on the main seat with a calm face, Zhao Mei with red eyes sitting on one side, and kneeling under the hall was a palace maid who sprinkled and sweeped. Xie Wan knew that something was wrong, but he still saluted calmly on his face, "Slave and maid please your majesty." ”
"If you have any grudges against you, just come at me, I didn't inadvertently burn you that day, I was wrong, but you ...... Woooooooo ”
Zhao Mei took the lead, and before he finished speaking, he hid his face and sobbed.
Xie Wan knelt down directly, "The slave doesn't know what Miss Zhao said, the slave didn't care about her own errand that day, and she didn't have a grudge against Miss Zhao." Miss Zhao is willing to bother to teach the slave maid, but it is too late for the slave to be grateful, so how can she take revenge on Miss Zhao. ”
Zhao Mei's words were vague, Xie Wan listened to it but didn't understand the reason, but her intuition still made her push back the words as soon as possible. Zhao Mei only hid her face and cried, without the meaning of theorizing with Xie Wan.
"Xie Wan, I'm going to ask you, what are you doing this evening."
Xiao Mingze's voice sounded at the right time, and Xie Wan thought for a while, "The slave maid went to the Shanggong Bureau to deliver things for the pearl, and she should only come out of the Shanggong Bureau in the evening." ”
"Did anything happen during the period, when did you return to Ganquan Palace, tell the truth, otherwise you will be punished heavily."
As soon as Xiao Mingze said this, coupled with Zhao Mei's heartbroken appearance, Xie Wan immediately woke up, probably for the puppy's reunion.
"The slave and maid passed through the palace road and saw the reunion that His Majesty rewarded Miss Zhao, and when she saw the cuteness of its life, she stayed for a while, but the errand was not finished, and the slave and maid did not dare to be scattered, and returned to the Ganquan Palace at about eight o'clock, and Coral Pearl and others can testify for the slave and maid."
Xiao Mingze glanced at Zhao Mei again, and then waved his hand in a deep voice, "Pass the coral and pearl to the palace." ”
Under some careful interrogation, the pearl and Xie Wan said that they corroborated each other, at the beginning of the unitary time, Xie Wan accepted the request of the pearl and took the things to the Shanggong Bureau, and Xie Wan went to the Shanggong Bureau at three o'clock to put things, and chatted with the responsible attendant for a while.
Xiao Mingze's expression loosened without a trace, and when he looked at Zhao Mei, he felt a little more compassionate when he looked at him, "Mei'er also heard it, Xie Wan didn't have time to go to the Imperial Garden, and the person sent by Gu to inquire about the Shanggong Bureau also confirmed the matter." ”
Xiao Mingze paused, his tone a little condensed, "Mei'er, this is indeed an accident. ”
Zhao Mei became even more sad when she heard this, and her heart was full of unwillingness and resentment, but there were only tears on her face.
"It's Mei'er who disturbs Brother Mingze's rest, and I hope Brother Mingze doesn't blame Mei'er."
Zhao Mei stood up as he spoke, and blessed Xie Wan again, "I misunderstood Xie Zhangshi, and I will compensate the Zhangshi." ”
Xie Wan's head lowered a little, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
One thing ended like this, Zhao Mei cried and fainted and asked someone to carry him back to Shoukang Palace. Xiao Mingze's eyebrows also showed a little tiredness, and he beckoned to Liu Fu and said, "Go back and ask the rare bird hall to send the selected ones - you can all retreat." ”
Everyone got up and withdrew from the hall after receiving the order, only Xie Wan knelt on the ground and did not even shake his body in the slightest, Liu Fu also retreated when he saw this, and only went to the Rare Bird Hall to pass the decree.
For a while, there were only two people left in the hall, Xie Wan and Xiao Mingze, Xiao Mingze sat down again, and looked down at Xie Wan who was kneeling on the ground, "Why are you still kneeling here." ”
Xie Wan's voice was quiet and respectful, "Slave and maid thank Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Mingze raised his eyebrows, but he was a little interested, "Xie Gu, what?" ”
"If it weren't for His Majesty's justice today, the slave and maid would definitely be severely punished, so the slave and maid thanked Your Majesty for being impartial."
Xiao Mingze chuckled, stood up and waved his hand, "You go down." ”
On the other side, Zhao Mei, who returned to Shoukang Palace, also knelt under the hall of the main hall, and the Empress Dowager Zhao sat on the top with a gloomy face, and slapped the table heavily, "You are really stupid, what is her identity, what is your identity, you are so stupid as to surrender your identity to deal with her." ”
Zhao Mei knelt on the ground with a calm face, "Mei'er's mistake is that she is not cautious enough or meticulous enough. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao stared at Zhao Mei for a long time, and then said, "The death of the reunion is an accident, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future - you, go home from the palace in three days, your mother misses you very much." ”
