Chunman Palace

Chapter 11 Pulling the Thorn
What scorpion...grass?Lin Qingyu was a little dazed when asked about it. Seeing Xin Changzai's anxious look, it should be something important to her.

She comforted: "Sister, don't worry, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first." Then she turned her head and told Mo'er: "Serve tea."

Xin Changzai was impatient at first, and this unhurried words aroused her even more annoyed, and she asked repeatedly: "What kind of tea do you drink? I just ask if you dug it? You know that I have been raising those scorpion grasses for a long time. It just grows out!"

Lin Qingyu shook her head innocently: "Sister really doesn't know what scorpion grass is."

Xin Changzai sneered, and his words were thorny: "You are still pretending, right? You and I live in this Yaohua Pavilion. I told my palace servants not to touch the flowers and plants I planted early in the morning. Who else would it be if it wasn't you? "

From this point of view, it may be that someone in her palace did it, but she really doesn't know about it, and it will take time to check one by one.

Lin Qingyu thought silently, and proposed a compromise: "Sister, don't worry, I will ask the palace servants tonight, and I will give my sister an answer tomorrow."

Xin Changzai obviously didn't believe it: "Could it be that Lin promised to deliberately cover up his palace man?"

"Sister... I really don't know." She suddenly thought of something, and quickly called Lingqiao over to ask: "Lingqiao, have you touched Xin Changzai's flowers and plants?"

One must know that Lingqiao was obviously disrespectful to Xin Changzai last night, and it is not known if she got angry with her and went to revenge on Xin Changzai.

Lingqiao knelt down hastily, and tried her best to argue: "My lord, it's not me! I really don't have one. The servants will remember what my lord said, and dare not do anything against my lord's will."

Seeing that Lingqiao's eyes were red with anxiety and her tears kept rolling, it was pitiful, Lin Qingyu couldn't bear it for a while, thinking that since she had instructed Lingqiao, she shouldn't doubt her anymore.

Xin Chang saw some clues, and said in a long voice: "Lin promised, what do you mean?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking." Lin Qingyu stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "Lingqiao, go and call all the palace people in, and I will give Xin Changzai an explanation tonight."

Lingqiao took the order, and soon brought all the palace people into the house to wait for orders.

Lin Qingyu looked around at the crowd and said calmly, "If anyone of you has touched the flowers and plants planted by Xin Changzai, you can still be punished lightly if you admit it now. Otherwise, if Xin Changzai and I find out, then you will have to go to Yeting."

Everyone fell to the ground, silent.

After a long time, Lin Qingyu spoke again: "This is the last chance, whoever moved Xin Changzai's flowers and plants can be punished lightly for standing up now."

There was still a moment of silence underneath.

And Xin Chang was staring at Lin Qingyu with a sarcasm on his face, to see what she could explain.

Lin Qingyu stood up from the chair, looked at the people below and said, "Okay, since no one will admit it, then stretch out your hands."

Xin Changzai smiled when he heard the words, and walked briskly to the group of palace people: "Don't bother Lin to agree, I'll just check it myself." Then he started to check everyone one by one.

When he reached the last lady-in-waiting, the man kept rubbing his hand on the ground behind him, but refused to extend it for a long time.

Xin Changzai's eyes lit up, and he pulled out the maid's arm, only to see that the rough hand of the maid was covered with red rashes, and there were many scratch marks on the ground.

"Lin promised, what do you have to say now? After being bitten by my scorpion grass, this kind of hives will appear at the contact point, look at your maid!" Xin Changzai grabbed the maid's arm and pulled it violently, Throw that court lady in front of Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu took a closer look and found that it was Qiang Huan who had been punished for hard labor before.

Unexpectedly, this court lady has not suffered enough, and now she commits such a thing again.

Lin Qingyu was too lazy to argue with her, and said in a low voice, "Tell me why you did such a thing."

Qiang Huan knocked his head violently on the ground a few times, his forehead was muddy with blood and dust, and he sobbed like lost soul: "Master, this servant is following your order and venting my anger for you!"

Lin Qingyu was startled: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I tell you to do such a thing?"

Qiang Huan's face was not flushed and his heart was not warm: "My lord, last night Xin Chang deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare you. The servant heard you complaining outside the house. I know that my servant is useless, so I can only use this to help my lord vent my anger!"

This Qiang Huan actually wanted to beat her up and drag her into the water, he really underestimated her.

Xin Chang raised his brows upside down, and his voice became a little more serious: "Now, what else can Lin promise to say?"

Lin Qingyu tried her best to calm down, thinking about whether she heard Lingqiao's complaints last night, she was not in a hurry to refute Xin Changzai, and asked Qiang Huan again: "I didn't let you be close to me, since you came from last night If you hear it outside the house, then you should know what kind of sachet was hung on my window last night."

Qiang Huan blocked his throat for a while, turned his eyes at a loss, and said with a guilty conscience: "Is it a snake pattern?"

The sachets in her palace are only patterned with bluegrass, so how can there be sachets with other patterns?She was just saying a set of words, she didn't expect Qiang Huan to be so stupid.

Lin Qingyu calmed down, and said with a light smile: "Dragon Boat Festival avoids snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are more sachets with orchid patterns. I'm curious, where did you see the snake pattern?"

"I'm afraid I saw you in my palace." Xin Chang was sneering, and pulled out a sachet embroidered with a snake pattern from his sleeve, "Lin promised to give me a novelty sachet, but the pattern is not mine. I liked it, so I changed the stitches and hung it outside the house overnight."

Qiang Huan retorted palely: "Perhaps the servant has made a mistake! It's the orchid pattern!"

Xin Changzai gave her a hard look, and kicked her on the ground: "I don't think you made a mistake, it's because you have a guilty conscience and dumped your own dirty things!"

Qiang Huan screamed, groped to Lin Qingyu's feet, and begged for mercy: "Young master, you must save this servant! This servant is working for you! Suffering for you! Little master! Save the slaves!"

Seeing how pitiful she was, Lin Qingyu didn't want to punish her severely, but she didn't have the slightest bit of remorse, and she was still so reckless, with murderous intent in her heart.

If you stay any longer, it may become a disaster.

"Come on."

Xiao Xizi and Xiao Lezi took a step forward and said in unison: "The servant is here."

Lin Qingyu gave Qiang Huan one last look expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Qiang Huan's hands and feet are not clean, send them to Ye Ting for disposal."

"Yes!" The two said in unison, grabbing Qiang Huan's arm from left to right, and Qiang Huan, as if his body was stuck to the ground, was holding on to the leg of the stool with his hands like dry sticks, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Lin Qingyu glanced at her, and said casually: "Look at these hands, it's only been a month, and they have become so unbearable."

Qiang Huan, who was still struggling desperately a second ago, heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he let go as if he was dying, and let Xiaoxizi and Xiaolezi drag him out.

Lin Qingyu smiled softly at Xin Changzai again: "Is my sister satisfied with my explanation?"

Xin Changzai slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, looked at her playfully, and said with a heavy pause: "Lin promises, what you say is heartbreaking." Then he shook his head and walked out.

Lin Qingyu followed closely behind him: "Xin Chang is walking slowly." The palace servants were dismissed.

She looked at the door, looking a little absent-minded.

Lingqiao thought she was frightened, so she stepped forward to comfort her: "The young master was frightened, I didn't expect that Qiang Huanxin to be so vicious, but fortunately, the young master is smart."

What happened tonight is nothing. Although Qiang Huan is vicious, he is really stupid.

She slowly closed her eyes and meditated, and smiled helplessly.

You must know that there are far more silverfish in Yaohua Pavilion than she is alone.
