Chapter 41: No Second Attempt
Xie Wan's feet that hadn't taken two steps out immediately froze in place, she twisted her eyebrows and looked at the sound, only to see Zhao Mei's face emerging in the darkness, followed by Xiao Mingze.
Xie Wan's gaze crossed behind the two of them, and he didn't see Amber's figure, and his doubts gradually rose, but now he could only salute and try to stabilize his voice, "Your Majesty Wan'an, Zhao Niangzi Wanfu." β
Zhao Mei raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Mingze, and tightened Xiao Mingze's arm by two points, his voice was delicate but with a momentum of questioning, "It's getting late, Xie Gongling is not waiting by His Majesty's side, why is he here, or with a man." β
Xie Wan twisted his eyebrows and listened to Zhao Mei's words, thought about it quickly, and bowed to Xiao Mingze, "Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid did not leave their duties without permission, but lost a handkerchief during the day, and the name of the slave and maid was embroidered on it. β
Xie Wan said as he took out a handkerchief from his arms and presented it, and there was indeed a word Wan in the corner.
Zhao Mei's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the coolness in her eyes grew, "Really?" In the middle of the night, the two lonely men and widows were just looking for a handkerchief, and Xie Gong Ling Mo didn't want to fool the pastβoh, and it is true that the crime of privately conferring each other is much smaller than the crime of causing trouble in the palace. β
Xie Wan suddenly knelt down, and his knees made a little noise on the ground. Xiao Mingze couldn't help frowning, glanced at Shen Shirong and saw the worry in Shen Shirong's eyes, the more the conjecture in his heart was invented, but it was inexplicably a little blocked.
"Your Majesty is clear, the slaves and maids really don't dare to bear the charge of causing trouble in the palace, General Shen was kind enough to help but was implicated for no reason, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate."
Xiao Mingze's eyes were dragged down by Xie Wan's voice, and he could only see the silk flowers on Xie Wan's head trembling by the night wind, and his sleeves were also blown by the wind.
Zhao Mei was about to speak, but Xiao Mingze spoke before Zhao Mei, overpowering Zhao Mei's voice, Xiao Mingze raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shirong, his eyes were heavy, "General Shen, you say, what's going on." β
Shen Shirong's eyes involuntarily glanced at Xie Wan, who was kneeling, and the feeling of powerlessness in his heart rose again, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and made a fist salute to Xiao Mingze, "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is indeed as Xie Gongling said, I met by chance." Women are the most important names, and they act inappropriately in their humble duties, and I also ask Your Majesty to be aware not to let Xie Gongling innocent be wronged. β
Shen Shirong's eyelashes trembled, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Please also ask Zhao Niangzi to be clear, don't ruin people's innocence with empty words." β
Zhao Mei couldn't get angry, stretched out his finger and pointed at Shen Shirong, his fingertips were trembling slightly, "You are presumptuous!" β
Xiao Mingze's heart was blocked, but he couldn't understand what was going on, but he didn't want to hear Zhao Mei connect Xie Wan with Shen Shirong, and his eyebrows and eyes were cold, "Okay, Mei'er, do you have any evidence to prove your statement tonight?" β
Zhao Mei choked and put down the hand he was lifting, but Hengmei still refused to give up, "I saw it with my own eyes, the two of them ......"
"That's enough, the palace must also talk about the law and evidence. Today's incident is an accident, and this is the end of it, and if you hear something in the future that you should not hear, weigh it yourself. β
Xiao Mingze turned his back and flicked his sleeves and strode away. Zhao Mei's expression changed, he pouted and didn't say anything more, and chased Xiao Mingze away with a cold snort.
Xie Wan's heart fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, vaguely guessing how much clearer it was in his heart. When she raised her eyes, she saw a hand reaching out to help her up, but she dodged sideways, and stood up on the ground.
When the general saw it, the slave and maid walked like the tip of a knife, and if they were not careful, they would fall to pieces. The current situation is chaotic like a fog, and I hope that the general will cherish himself and grope forward. β
Xie Wan's tone was too heavy, Shen Shirong's throat seemed to be stuffed with a few balls of soaked cotton, and he couldn't pronounce a single word, and he only thought of Xiao Mingze's promise of marriage autonomy in his mind.
Watching Xie Wan run away, Shen Shirong's hand slowly clenched into a fist, and after a while, he turned around and walked to the other side.
Xie Wan saw clearly that Xiao Mingze was walking in the direction of the main tent when he left, so he also hurried over, she saw Amber outside the main tent, Amber's face was covered with a few bright red slap prints, and her left cheek was also a little swollen. Amber tugged at the corners of her lips, 'I'm fine'.
Xie Wan's eyebrows sank for two minutes, nodded imperceptibly, and then lifted the curtain and went to the tent.
On the main seat, Zhao Mei was holding Xiao Mingze's arm obsessively, Xiao Mingze's expression also relaxed, he reached out and scraped the tip of Zhao Mei's nose, and his voice was clear and audible, "If you are always so frizzy, how can I teach you to take care of the affairs of the harem." β
Zhao Mei's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Xiao Mingze, and the surprise in his eyes was unconcealed, "Really? Brother Mingze, what do you mean ......"
"The queen mother's assistant state affairs are already in charge, and the trivial matters in the harem naturally have to be taken care of. It's just that this person must be steady and act in an orderly manner, so that he can convince the public, don't you say? β
Zhao Mei lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, but she still nodded, like a cat that had been smoothed, "Mei'er knows." β
Xiao Mingze's eyes swept to Xie Wan, who had just come in, and the indescribable feeling in his heart came up again, he patted Zhao Mei's hand patiently and gently, "It's late at night, you go back and rest." β
Zhao Mei's brows frowned slightly, and before he pouted, Xiao Mingze raised his hand and rubbed the top of Zhao Mei's hair, "You forgot what you said now?" β
Zhao Mei pouted and stood up reluctantly, "Mei'er remembers, Mei'er has retired." β
Zhao Mei walked out with the help of Xing'er, and cast a warning glance when she passed by Xie Wan, and Xie Wan just lowered her head and blessed her body, "Congratulations to Mrs. Zhao." β
When Zhao Mei went out, Xiao Mingze's face sank a lot, and his eyes looked directly at Xie Wan, "Today's matter is no longer pursued, and I don't care about how things are, but I warn you that there is no second time for such a thing." β
Xie Wan lowered his eyebrows and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, the slave maid will remember His Majesty's will, and she will definitely act cautiously in the future." β
Looking at Xie Wan's harmony, Xiao Mingze still didn't feel good in his heart, he waved his hand a little irritably, and simply closed his eyes and didn't look at Xie Wan, "Go down." β
