Chapter 30

The two maids under Jingyue Jingling's custody had their eyes swollen from crying, and because their mouths were gagged by cloth strips, they could only let out sobbing sounds.

"Kneel down for the empress!" The two kicked the maids' knees, and they knelt down on the ground, choking with sobs.

Chu Jiaoli knelt in front of Concubine Linggui, presented the cloth, and said with a little cry: "Madam, Jiaoli came to apologize."

Hearing this, Concubine Ling looked at the appalling fabric, and suddenly the trace of drowsiness she had in the morning dissipated, she immediately widened her eyes, looked at the two servants behind her, frowned, and said, "What do you mean?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, and explained the matter: "The pattern of the empress's clothes, the servants rushed to work yesterday, and have already embroidered most of them. How could the maids in the room stealthily cut them into pieces at night... dizzy The dye for dyeing the thin thread was dyed at night, and the paint on their hands is the evidence of the crime before it dries."

At the end of the sentence, Concubine Ling looked at the blue mark in Tassel and Lianrong's hands, and immediately became sullen.

Jing Ling took off the cloth strips from their mouths, and let them helplessly say nothing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant didn't do it on purpose! This servant doesn't dare anymore! This servant doesn't dare anymore!"

Chu Jiaoli sighed lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, if these two people are hostile to your servants and intentionally murder your servants, your servants will accept their fate, but this is the mother's fabric after all, I'm afraid they will treat you badly. What dissatisfaction is there to plant it on the servants like this... If the empress executes the servants and allows them to get away with it, after today, there is no guarantee that they will not find a scapegoat and play tricks on the empress openly and secretly..."

"No, my lady! This servant has the guts to dare to do such a thing to my lady! This servant just wants to teach Chu Jiaoli a lesson, and even if I give this servant 1 courage, I would not dare to hurt my lady!" Liusu was helpless cried out.

Chu Jiaoli sighed lightly, and said with a serious expression: "Madam, they saw clearly the day before yesterday, the servants came from Muyang Palace, and returned from Leling Palace, the fabric is as silky as water, how could it be the servants and maids? What can a servant be worthy of? I hope your mother will not listen to the villain's slander..."

Hearing this, Concubine Ling was furious, clenched her fists tightly, and shouted, "Come on! Give me a slap!"

"Yes."

The maid in the room came over, raised her hand and slapped them countless times.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Soon, the cheeks of the two became red and swollen, mixed with tears and scattered hair, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Concubine Ling looked at her beloved cloth being ruined in such a way, and looked at the blue hands of the two, her eyes were red with anger, and she said: "If you dare to ruin my clothes, I will ruin your hands! This palace drags down!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! The slaves dare not! Your Majesty, spare your life!" After the two were pulled out of the door, Jing Yue and Jing Ling also bowed to Concubine Ling and then retreated.

The tranquility was restored in the house, and the red cherry lit the newly made incense, and the soothing aroma made people's thoughts slowly calm down.

Chu Jiaoli lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Madam, for being able to see clearly."

Seeing the maid outside bringing several cups of tea and walking in front of Concubine Ling Gui, Concubine Ling Gui glanced lightly, picked up the cup and took a sip, then handed her a cup of tea.

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, took the tea, and said, "Thank you for your gift."

After drinking the tea, Concubine Ling Gui and all the maidservants put the cup back, she breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down in front of the vanity mirror, continued to admire her face, picked up the bright red lipstick on the table and gently She sipped her lips, and said: "I have high expectations of you, so naturally I trust you, so don't betray my heart."

Chu Jiaoli slightly raised the corners of her lips, and said, "Your Majesty, there are still a small number of patterns that have not been destroyed, can you please take a look at them?"

Hearing this, Concubine Ling raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly, and turned her head leisurely. Chu Jiaoli then turned over the fabric underneath, and a blue butterfly appeared in front of her eyes.

She looked at the butterfly carefully, its natural and not rigid posture, from a distance, it didn't seem to be perched on the fabric, but dancing around the skirt of the dress.

The hair-thin embroidery thread is so fine and dense that it seems to be smudged on it, and there is no gap between the threads. Under the refraction of the sun, the purple silk thread is vaguely visible.

Immediately, Concubine Ling's eyes lit up, and said: "Is this thread dyed with Nakodan?"

"My lady has good eyes."

Concubine Ling nodded in satisfaction, and said: "This embroidery skill doesn't seem to be done sloppily by me." She slowly attached a thread that was destroyed by the butterfly's tail, frowned slightly, and said, "But still It's a pity that you have worked hard all day."

There was a little smile in Chu Jiaoli's eyes, and she said, "I don't hesitate to serve my empress, but I just don't want a servant girl with evil intentions to take the opportunity to bully my empress."

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. I will send someone to tell the prince to arrange a separate room for you. I don't want to see any accidents this time."

Chu Jiaoli smiled faintly, and said: "Thank you for your love, my maidservant will definitely live up to your expectations."

Concubine Ling admired the beautiful Kodan in her hand, and said: "Okay, you can kneel down."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

When they returned to Muyang Palace, they heard that Muyang Palace had recruited two new servant girls to replace Liusu and Lianrong, and they feared that they would never see those two enemies again in this life.

Jingyue passed by her and said, "Jiaoli, Your Highness wants you to go there."

Chu Jiaoli looked at Beigong Tengxiao's room in front of her, sighed softly, stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Seeing that Beigong Tengxiao was painting Danqing with a brush, she pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, is it fun to flirt with slaves just now?"

Fortunately, it is absolutely impossible for those two to appear in Muyang Palace, otherwise, with Beigong Tengxiao's actions towards her just now, wouldn't it cause another storm...

Beigong Tengxiao put down his pen, raised his head, looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "You can play with me, so naturally I should play with you."

Chu Jiaoli bit her lips in embarrassment, and said, "That's considered a slave and servant."

Beigong Tengxiao raised his beautiful long eyebrows, and his phoenix eyes, which were hiding a smile, slowly darkened, and said, "Smashing your feet with bricks?"

Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly, and said: "The servants are just performing a small show to anger them. If you know that His Highness's reaction is so...enthusiastic, then you will definitely not perform this play."

Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and said, "Why? You should be honored that this palace has made you successful."

Chu Jiaoli lowered her head, and said: "The servant girl is not a concubine whom His Highness favors and is proud of, but an ordinary maid, a woman who is not worthy of His Highness's affection."

Beigong Tengxiao thought of her lovely and pitiful appearance just now, slightly raised the corners of his lips, got up and walked slowly in front of her, and whispered in her ear: "You thousand-faced fox, do you worry that one day, you will also lose your life?" Will you see Bengong deal with you with thousands of faces? How can you be sure that Bengong is showing his true feelings instead of acting on the occasion? Do you want to compare and see who will lose first?"
