Chu Lian held the tender and juicy fresh peach in his left hand, held the handle of the paring knife in his right hand, pursed his lips slightly and tilted his head to look at the frightened maid beside him strangely, his eyes were clear and transparent.

The maid's voice was high-pitched, and in extreme panic, it was not enough to shout, and she screamed several times, stepped on the corner of her skirt when she retreated in a panic, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Slave...... The slave and maid deserve to die, the slave and maid deserve to die, the emperor and the queen are out of order, beg the emperor and queen to spare their lives!"

Chu Lian's gaze swept to the maid on the ground who was trembling and almost her entire body was about to stick to the floor tiles, a touch of coldness slipped in her apricot eyes, and then put half of the fresh peach and the knife in her hand back on the table.

Fang Cai's voice was really like a magic sound, Chu Lian hung her head and stood aside, if it weren't for her timely reaction, and her experience and courage were different from ordinary ladies, I am afraid that the person who screamed just now would be replaced by her, and at this time, it was still her who knelt in front of the emperor with trembling and pleading!

Emperor Chengping, who was in a good mood, was finally pulled to the bottom by this sharp female voice, his face was solemn, his face was gloomy, and the coercion of the perennial high-level cultivation made Empress Shen and Concubine Wei couldn't help but want to tremble.

Emperor Chengping's afterglow fell on Wei Guifei's face, "Guifei, this is the maid who came out of your palace?"

Wei Guifei's face changed, and after seeing Empress Shen's smug smile, she wanted to kill this stupid on the spot, but she just ordered her to give this Jinyi townsman a little color to see, she was good, people were still standing there!

Wei Guifei gritted her teeth and pulled out a smile and said to Emperor Chengping: "The emperor is angry, and he blames the concubines for not teaching in a way, which frightened the emperor, and she should be severely punished." ”

After Wei Guifei finished speaking, she waved her wide sleeves below, and suddenly two tall eunuchs came in, one of them grabbed one of the maid's arms, and was about to gagged her and dragged her outside to kill.

This maid had been serving Wei Guifei for several years, and knowing Wei Guifei's temper, she was sure that as long as she was dragged out, there was only one result waiting for her, and that was death.

So, the maid struggled desperately, perhaps a strong sense of survival allowed her to display the potential of her body, and the slender maid actually pushed the two tall eunuchs away.

This maid still has a little bit of eyes, at this time she knew that it was useless to ask Wei Guifei, she staggered forward two steps, knelt in front of the emperor and the queen, and said hurriedly: "Ask the emperor and the queen to spare her life, the slaves and maids are not intentional, they are all township kings, if it is not a township monarch, the slaves and maids will not lose their manners in front of the emperor, which makes the masters frightened...... Uh-huh......"

When the maid broke free, Wei Guifei kept glancing at the two eunuchs, but in the end she was still a step slower, so that she could say everything she had to say, Wei Guifei was annoyed, her eyes were cold, and she looked at the maid as if she was looking at a dead person.

Empress Shen rarely had the opportunity to kill Wei Guifei in front of the emperor, where would she let go easily, she deliberately raised her eyebrows, "Oh? The emperor, since there is a hidden secret, it is better to find out, otherwise there will be more hidden dangers in the palace. ”

Emperor Chengping rubbed his eyebrows and waved at Empress Shen, which meant that he agreed.

With a glance from Empress Shen, the eunuch who was holding the maid was waved away.

Wei Guifei clenched her fingers tightly in the wide sleeves of her coat, and she was about to break her palms angrily, she stared at the kneeling figure below, her eyes were like freezing.

Even if the maid got the opportunity to explain because of Empress Shen, she didn't dare to really drag Wei Guifei into the water, otherwise even if she went out of Tingyuxuan alive, then she would have a hundred other ways to die.

Empress Shen Fengyi stared at this disgraceful maid in front of the palace, "You just said that it was all because of Jinyi Xiangjun, what is going on, to the palace from the truth!"

The maid's lowered eyes rolled up with ruthlessness, and now there are many big and small bosses in this Tingyu Xuan, and she is a little maid who can handle it, but only that little countryman is left.

After taking a few deep breaths, the maid tried her best to calm down her voice, "Back to the queen's mother, the slave maid was helping the cook beside Jinyi Xiangjun, and suddenly a huge black worm fell on the slave maid's hand, and the slave maid was frightened for a while, so she ...... And he cried out. ”

Empress Shen's face darkened, "How can there be worms in front of the imperial case?

After Empress Shen's words fell, her eyes swept to Chu Lian's face again, but she found that the third grandmother of Jing'anbo Mansion had a normal face except for her expressionless face, as if this farce had nothing to do with her at all, she was just a theater watcher.

The maid kowtowed several times in succession, and there was a clang, "How can the slave and maid lie in front of the emperor, that worm is in a fresh peach! If the queen mother doesn't believe it, she can order someone to take it to check." ”

Empress Shen gave a look to a middle-aged eunuch next to her, and after a while, the middle-aged eunuch took Chu Lian from the board and put it on the table and cut half of the fresh peach, and sure enough, she saw that there was a huge wormhole near the heart of the peach. The middle-aged eunuch commanded, and after a while, he found the ugly black worm that was still wriggling around the table......

When the maid saw the truth, her tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, she almost lost all her strength, and almost collapsed to the ground, "It was the townsman who deliberately picked the worm on the back of the slave's hand, so that the slave and maid lost their manners, and asked the queen to be the master of the slave and maid." ”

Chu Lian glanced at the maid who had already turned herself into a victim, and the corners of her mouth curved, this person who is not long-minded, does she treat everyone else as a fool?

Sure enough, Empress Shen is not without a little brain, "You mean to say that the townsman looks at you unpleasantly and deliberately harms you?

The maid, who felt relieved one moment, seemed to have fallen from the clouds into the abyss the next moment, and she opened her eyes wide and said nothing.

"Slave...... Slaves...... No...... Know ......"

Chu Lian wants to make fresh peaches for Emperor Chengping, the materials are all prepared by the people in the palace, and this maid is next to Wei Guifei, the fresh peaches for making longevity peaches are picked and washed by this maid and handed to Chu Lian, but there are disgusting insects in this fresh peach that should be intact, and Chu Lian wants to handle the fresh peaches with his own hands...... The results can be imagined.

The reason why Wei Guifei had to deal with this maid quickly before was because she didn't want to watch her be stupid, so she brought the matter to the surface, and anyone with a little brain could guess the ins and outs.

However, he was stopped by the ill-intentioned Empress Shen.

Things came to this point, Wei Guifei seemed to have been slapped on the spot by Empress Shen in front of the emperor, and her cheeks were hot.

Without waiting for Empress Shen to speak, Emperor Chengping commanded in a low voice: "Take it down, and the rod will be killed!"

The emperor's speech was much more useful than that of Empress Shen and Concubine Wei, and before the maid could say a word begging for mercy, she was quickly restrained by the two black-clothed guards and carried out.

Then Emperor Chengping glanced at Chu Lian, who was standing obediently on the side with his head down, if Chu Lian looked up at this time, he could find that Emperor Chengping had a trace of strangeness in his eyes.

"Concubine, you have no way to teach, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will be grounded in the palace for half a month. Emperor Chengping's voice was a little chilling.

Wei Guifei looked up at Emperor Chengping in disbelief, where is the cold and hard Emperor Chengping at this time still looks like Emperor Chengping who was sitting on the same couch with Wei Guifei when Chu Lian first arrived here to listen to Yuxuan, Emperor Chengping at this time looked like an unattainable emperor.

Wei Guifei looked at Emperor Chengping aggrievedly, as if she hoped that he would take back his fate, but Emperor Chengping had already looked away, and Empress Shen was proud, now in the harem, it is this Wei Guifei who can be equal to her, I don't know how many stumbling blocks I secretly made for her, I didn't expect such a trivial matter today, so Wei Guifei was planted, how could she not be happy.

Thinking so, she looked in the direction where Chu Lian was, the corners of her mouth curled, sure enough, it was a dog that could bite people and not bark, she really underestimated this Jinyi Xiangjun.

Wei Guifei could not but receive the punishment.

Emperor Chengping's gaze swept around in Tingyu Xuan, "That's it, I don't have any thoughts, Jinyi, you go to the Queen Mother to find your grandmother." ”

Only then did Chu Lian salute respectfully and say yes.

But before everyone left Tingyuxuan, a voice as crisp as a silver bell came from outside the door: "Father, Emperor, Father, Yao'er is here to greet you!"

Hearing this voice, Emperor Chengping's dark face finally eased a little, his eyes fell to the door, and after a while, a little girl in pale pink palace dress ran in like a flower butterfly, and then threw herself into Emperor Chengping's broad arms.

Emperor Chengping bent down slightly, his face was full of love, he touched Princess Le Yao's bun lovingly, and asked softly, "How did Le Yao find here?"

Princess Le Yao said coquettishly in a soft voice: "Yao'er misses her father, and asked the big eunuch, so I came over, Yao'er hasn't seen her father for two days, does my father miss Yao'er." ”

Emperor Chengping smiled heartily, as if he was enjoying such warmth with his daughter, "Father misses you too." ”

Princess Le Yao immediately burst into a big smile, "Yao'er knows that my father loves Yao'er the most. ”

Emperor Chengping gently pinched his daughter's face.

Wei Guifei, who was still kneeling next to her, saw her daughter come in, her face suddenly relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Princess Le Yao looked around in Tingyu Xuan, and then threw herself into Concubine Wei's arms, "Mother, what's wrong with you, how do you kneel on the ground." ”

Wei Guifei showed a slightly tired smile, and smoothed the bangs of Princess Le Yao, "Yao'er, it was the concubine who did something wrong, and it is right to kneel on the ground." ”

Princess Le Yao's eyes widened instantly, and she was about to pull Wei Guifei up, but Wei Guifei didn't move, Princess Le Yao turned around and hugged Emperor Chengping's arm and shook it, "Father, the mother concubine must not have done it on purpose, you will spare the mother concubine this time." ”

Emperor Chengping looked at Princess Le Yao's eyes that he was extremely familiar with, and finally relented, "Okay, you get up, if there is a next time in this matter, even if Le Yao pleads, it will not help." ”

Wei Guifei's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly said: "If the concubine doesn't dare, there will be no next time." ”

Empress Shen, who was on the side, was about to crush her silver teeth, she couldn't believe that the emperor, who was still angry just now, was exempted from Concubine Wei's punishment because of Princess Le Yao's two coquettish words!
