Chapter 32 Expulsion from Xuanming Palace

"Do it." With a smile in his eyes, Si Ningchi uttered two words in his usual tone.

Qian'er's face turned pale with fright, she raised her eyes to see several maids and eunuchs coming up to her with needles and thread, she burst into tears instantly: "Sister Meizhi, save me!"

She shouted in panic and eagerness, and the woman who went forward had already reached out and grabbed her chin, imprisoning her in place.

Meizhi probably didn't expect that Si Ningchi would be so fearless, she said so much, yet Si Ningchi didn't listen to advice at all.

"Empress!" Meizhi raised her voice to stop, looking at Qian'er who was pinned in place, she was also a little anxious: "Xian'er's slip of the tongue was all the fault of the servant girl, please forgive me, Empress."

"Oh? What's wrong with Miss Meizhi?" Si Ningchi was not in a hurry, he just looked at her with a smile on his face and said.

"The servant girl is the grand maid of the Xuanming Palace, and she has the responsibility to control her. Qian'er is young, and the servant girl couldn't bear to scold her so that she made such a slip of the tongue today and offended the empress." Meizhi lowered her head and said respectfully: "Empress Be magnanimous, please let Qian'er go this time."

"What if I don't?"

"..."

Meizhi choked for breath, she had never seen such a person!
She had run out of good words, but Si Ningchi didn't leave any room for him, even the emperor didn't care, how dare she! ?

Si Ningchi frowned and said with a smile: "Look at Miss Meizhi, I'm not a ruthless person."

She raised her lips and smiled, with an extremely gentle attitude, looked at Meizhi with a smile and said: "If you really don't want this little palace maid to suffer this punishment, I will be more lenient just because of your face .”

"It's just..." Si Ningchi fiddled with his slender fingers and said, "If she is so easily exonerated, how will I discipline the palace servants in the future?"

"Since Miss Meizhi came up with this idea and shouldered this responsibility, then you will bear it for her." Si Ningchi said with a smile, "Miss Meizhi must be willing to have a fight with her sisters." right?"

"Grandma Cao is excellent at embroidery, and she will definitely be able to sew Miss Meizhi's mouth beautifully." Si Ningchi leaned on the armrest of the chair, looking at Meizhi's expression with a happy expression, as if he couldn't wait to see this scene like.

"Empress, don't worry, this old servant will sew carefully." Cao Mama came forward with a smile and leaned over to answer.

Meizhi's complexion changed suddenly, seeing the servant who was holding onto Xi'er turned around and walked towards her, the calm she had maintained for a long time finally couldn't hold back, she retreated in panic and struggled: " Empress! This servant is from Xuanming Hall!"

Si Ningchi said indifferently: "I am the queen of Tianqing Kingdom, so I can't touch you?"

She raised her eyebrows and smiled and waved her hands. Mammy Cao held up the needle and thread and ordered someone to hold her down. Meizhi's eyes showed panic. Si Ningchi, who was watching, seemed to have a nerve burst in his brain.

She clearly realized that she was wrong, the queen was not something she could provoke, she was simply a lunatic!
Meizhi struggled constantly, Mammy Cao frowned and held up the needle and said, "Miss Meizhi should be more honest, this old servant is good at this technique, but this needle is not obedient, it won't look good if it is worn crookedly and torn off."

Meizhi wanted to scream and ask for help, until she felt the sharp pain of the needle piercing her lips, and finally couldn't help crying, fear swept her whole body, and blood flowed into her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Just as Si Ningchi was admiring Meizhi's fear, Zhao Zongheng stepped in from outside the hall, and frowned when he saw the crowd of people in the courtyard.

"Help me, Your Majesty!" Mammy Cao let go of her hand, and the half-pierced needle left her hand. Meizhi broke free from the restraint, and crawled to Zhao Zongheng's feet with her eyes full of horror, wailing loudly. Crying for help: "The empress is going to kill the servants, the emperor help me!"

"..."

Zhao Zongheng, who was shouting sharply and loudly, raised his eyebrows, looked down at Meizhi, who was kneeling tremblingly at his feet with his mouth full of blood, his frown deepened.

Si Ningchi got up slowly, still feeling dissatisfied with being spoiled, but he didn't show it, he just walked forward: "The concubine sees the emperor."

Zhao Zongheng responded indifferently, and did not do anything immediately, but glanced around at Si Ningchi and asked, "What is the empress doing?"

Si Ningchi showed his face with a smile: "Embroidery."

Meizhi kneeling on the ground with a mouth full of blood: "...!!!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Meizhi wanted to reach out and grab Zhao Zongheng's robe, but she didn't dare to just sob and say: "The Empress wants the life of this servant!"

"I'm talking to the empress, how can I allow you to interrupt." Zhao Zongheng's light eyes fell, Meizhi trembled and didn't dare to speak again.

"What flowers are embroidered, let me see." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi again.

"I haven't finished the embroidery yet." Si Ningchi looked regretful, pulled Zhao Zongheng to sit down beside him and said, "She disturbed the purity of the courtiers and concubines, and she uttered wild words to offend her. The ministers thought that she was the maidservant of the emperor, so they I want to embroider on her mouth."

"Let her know that this mouth, you still have to say some sweet words to listen to." Si Ningchi looked at her with deep eyes, and smiled charmingly. He shook Zhao Zongheng's sleeve and said: " It’s better to say some beautiful words to the emperor.”

Zhao Zongheng understood the situation in front of him at a glance, he raised his eyebrows when he heard Si Ningchi's words, his expression was calm and unwavering, he didn't know what emotion it was.

Meizhi broke out in cold sweat, seeing the queen pulling the emperor's sleeve, the emperor had no intention of avoiding him at all, allowing her to get close to her so presumptuously, she had served in Xuanming Palace for many years, had she ever seen Zhao Zongheng treat others so amiably?
"I don't like to listen to other people's beautiful words." Zhao Zongheng looked down at Si Ningchi's delicate and glistening lips, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin and bent her lips.

"Wang Chengxiang." Zhao Zongheng called out indifferently: "Pull down and slap eighty, and drive him out of Xuanming Palace."

"Yes." Wang Chengxiang was never surprised that the emperor punished Meizhi, and he didn't even ask the specific reason, since the empress said so, he just listened to it.

"Your majesty!?" Meizhi raised her eyes in shock, and said with some unbelievable struggle: "The slave is wronged, it's the queen..."

"Shut up her mouth!" Wang Chengxiang's face darkened, and someone directly covered Meizhi's mouth, preventing her from uttering a word.

This farce ended like this, it almost made everyone in the Xuanming Hall turn pale. They have been working in the Xuanming Hall for a long time, and they have witnessed how Meizhi lost face in front of the emperor, but now the emperor punished her so mercilessly .
