"What's all the fuss about?"
The Queen Mother put down the cup in her hand with a clatter and ordered someone to ask in displeasure.
When the two maids were taken away, Bai Yan sighed helplessly in her heart, wondering what kind of luck she had.
"Please, please greet the Queen Mother. I don't want to disturb the Queen Mother here. It's just that this cheap servant stole Chu Jieyu's things and still doesn't admit it. She doesn't tell us which palace she is from. I guess she came from the cold palace."
He escaped secretly, no wonder his hands and feet are unclean."
Xiao Ran, the maid who was kneeling on the ground, rolled her eyes. Chu Jieyu wanted to cause trouble to the Queen Mother, so that everyone could see that the people in the Queen Mother's palace had unclean hands and feet, and they couldn't even control their own maids.
Manage the trivial affairs of the harem. Even if you can't drag her down this time, you can still dampen her spirit.
Xiaoran couldn't help but feel the joy on her face. After the event was completed, she would get a lot of money, money that she would never get in her life.
"No, my slave! She is slanderous."
Jian Xiang shook his head at her in panic and burst into tears.
Bai Yan raised the corners of her lips. Jian Xiang was definitely not someone with unclean hands and feet, so someone did it deliberately today. She twisted the bracelet on her left wrist and said lightly, "Jian Xiang belongs to me.
people."
A smile appeared on Pei Lin's face, waiting with interest for the next development and how the little queen would deal with the frame-up that came to her door.
Xiao Ran pretended to just know it and kowtowed in a panic, "Emperor, Queen, I don't mean that."
The Queen Mother didn't say anything. She would soon understand what was going on if she lived a few more years, but she didn't intend to care about it until there was a winner.
Yu Meiren, who was sitting in the crowd, looked at her with beautiful eyes, sighed and shook her head. It was really hard to talk to someone who wanted to die. It seemed that she had chosen someone even more stupid than herself.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"She stole from us..."
"I'm asking Jianxiang, do you have the right to interrupt? Xiaocui, Zhang Zui!"
There was a crisp sound of slaps. Xiaoran couldn't react to one slap, and fell to the ground with the second slap.
Chu Jieyu dared to be angry but dared not say anything. This slap was clearly a slap to Xiaoran's face. But now she could only stare fiercely to see if she would be so arrogant later.
Pei Lin nodded slightly, he had made some progress, not bad.
"Your Majesty, I don't have any of you. Please tell me clearly." Jian Xiang knelt on the ground, trembling constantly. She didn't know why she picked up the bracelet wrapped in a red handkerchief on the ground. She was framed as a thief as soon as she picked it up.
She was crying, shaking her head and looking at Bai Yan beggingly.
"You're talking nonsense. You didn't steal it. Why are you outside our Jieyu's palace?"
"Someone took the slave there. She said that the empress was looking for the slave, so the slave followed her."
When I heard that she was being plotted, it was normal for Jianxiang to be young, and Bai Yan didn't want to blame her for being so scared.
But it was hard to explain clearly. Her gaze to the right happened to collide with his to the left. It had been a long time since the two of them had looked at each other so well.
His eyes were calm and steady, but he secretly gave her some courage. Jian Xiang was his after all, so Bai Yan thought he might take action.
Pei Lin did not look away, looking into her eyes inquiringly. He was waiting for her eyes to show pleading, or a word of "adult", or a coquettish expression, and he immediately took action.
But she didn't wait, and neither did he.
Bai Yan looked away first. He had no intention of helping. She shrugged and laughed that she was still habitually dependent on him. Habits are a terrible thing.
Chu Jieyu caught Er Miao's look and stepped forward and slapped the maidservant, "You bitch, who allowed you to insult the Queen? How can people in the Queen's palace steal? Let me see what the bread is here.
," She opened the red handkerchief, suddenly exclaimed, took a step forward and knelt down, "This, this seems to really belong to my concubine."
The play was so good that Bai Yan couldn't help but applaud her. There was a gold bracelet with a sparrow pattern wrapped in the red handkerchief, which looked really valuable.
She quickly turned her brain, which was almost rusty, and couldn't help biting her lower lip. She really couldn't think of any solution now.
"This is a gift from His Majesty to my concubine. I have been reluctant to wear it and ordered Xiaoran to put it in the cabinet to keep it safe."
Chu Jieyu's eyes were slightly red, and she knelt on the ground looking pitiful.
After she finished speaking, Bai Yan smiled. She was worried that there was nothing she could do, so she came up with a solution herself, "I'm afraid I saw it wrong, sister. This bracelet, a pair of mother-and-son bracelets, was made by a skilled craftsman in the south. Your Majesty also
I gave you one as a gift, but I am afraid that my sister will regard it as her own. This bracelet is so finely made that I can’t put it down and wish I could carry it with me every day. But today, I asked Jianxiang to send it back because I was worried about it getting bumped.”
After saying that, she lifted up her sleeves and said, "Look, my right wrist is empty."
She doesn't like wearing jewelry, especially on her right hand, so she never wears it, but now it comes in handy.
Chu Jieyu was stunned, blinking her eyes blankly, and looked at Er Miao inquiringly. Er Miao had already looked away, hiding quietly in the crowd.
"But, she said she didn't know what was in it!"
Xiao Ran was anxious and shouted to Bai Yan regardless of her dignity. Chu Jieyu pinched her hard in her sleeves and she closed her mouth in pain.
Xiaocui flicked her wrist, she was ready, as long as the empress gave the order, she would immediately kill this gullible thing.
Bai Yan raised her hand slightly to stop her, and asked with a gentle smile, "Jianxiang, don't you know what's inside?"
"I know! I know! I know! I asked you to put this bracelet away."
"Okay, since today is just a misunderstanding, sister, please stop kneeling and get up."
Chu Jieyu stood up unwillingly. She cursed Er Miao in her heart for pretending to be dead and picking all the pieces off herself. Even if the matter was over, she still had a rift with the Queen. If she couldn't prevent trouble in the future, she would
The desperate man raised his head and said, "How can I prove that this is yours? It's all nonsense."
Bai Yan curved her lips, outlining a pure smile. Seeing the gentleness of Qiyi in her already beautiful eyes, she felt frightened.
"Jieyu wants to prove it, it's very simple. If you say you are reluctant to wear it, do you mean you have never worn it before?"
"Of course! Your Majesty gave it to you, so I will naturally cherish it."
Bai Yan asked Xiaocui to fetch a basin of water. She raised her hand and threw the bracelet into the water. A faint oily sheen soon appeared on the water, which was even more obvious under the sunlight.
When she took a closer look, she smelled something very similar to the facial butter she used to wipe her face. The ancient facial butter did not have modern moisturizing technology. Especially after the weather got cold, beef marrow and beef fat were added to the facial butter. She
As long as you wear it, it will inevitably become contaminated.
"Jieyu just said that she has never worn one, but I wear it every day, so I accidentally got it stained by facial oil."
Chu Jieyu's face was livid, she was shaking and had to endure it, "I have admitted my mistake."
She was just about to sit back dejectedly when Bai Yan stroked her hands and said, "Xiao Ran, right? My sister's maidservant is so careless that she can't even distinguish her master's belongings. I feel really bad when I see her. Since my sister
If you are too soft-hearted, I will punish you on your behalf."
Now that she had said the nice things, it was time for her to establish her own dignity, so as not to be criticized by others. But punishing people was also a troublesome matter, and Bai Yan really didn't think about it.
Chu Jieyu had given up on her a long time ago. Seeing this, Xiaoran could only kneel on the ground and desperately beg for mercy, kowtowing vigorously, which made people upset.
"Pull it down, 30 big boards."
Pei Lin opened his mouth. His sudden opening surprised everyone, but since he was bloodthirsty, it was not surprising.
He watched the whole process quietly. The little queen had indeed grown a lot compared to when she first entered the palace. She could protect herself, come up with ways to solve problems, and also showed weakness appropriately and waited for the best opportunity. His existence was no longer necessary.
But she said she was cruel but was actually soft-hearted, and she might not be able to make up her mind before he took action.
Someone immediately dragged Xiaoran down, and her pleas for mercy were replaced by screams. They stopped suddenly, and the place became quiet.
Bai Yan glanced at him and said nothing.
She knew that Chu Jieyu was just a first-timer, and there must be someone behind her to instigate her, otherwise it would be impossible for her to suddenly attack her.
But she was too lazy to investigate further, and she didn't want to make enemies. It would be nice if this matter could serve as a warning to the people behind her.
If Pei Lin hadn't spoken, she really wouldn't have dared to kill Xiao Ran. She took a breath and frowned slightly, but he still helped her, and he would always stand behind her without her opening her mouth.
The palace is dangerous, Qi Yuan is moody, cruel and inhumane. The sisters here are either forced or just to make ends meet. In the past, no one would plot against others and lived their lives peacefully.
But this group of people had never been very peaceful after entering the palace. They had not been tortured by Qi Yuan, but they were tortured by their own people. Bai Yan couldn't help but despise that idiot.
