The maid is the queen

Chapter 242

"Oh, my pearl," she exclaimed.

Many of them rolled to my side, and the maids squatted down to pick up the pearls. I wanted to stand up to make it easier for them to pick up pearls, but someone bumped into my body, and I fell into the heart of the lake. Voice: "Sister Yunsha, you..."

The slightly cold water submerged me, and the maid called out anxiously, her unwell mind didn't react so quickly, and she drank several sips of water at once.

Before I could float up, there was a heavy sound of falling into the water, and then a strong hand grabbed me, dragged me, and swam up.

"Princess Muqiu." When I got to the shore, someone pressed my heart and opened his eyes slightly to look in front of me, but I was startled. With a cold smile, he leaned down, as if he wanted to kiss my lips, I wanted to struggle, but he held my hand tightly, no, what does Lu Xianhu want to do.

If he dares to kiss him, the emperor will kill him.

I think he must know. I wanted to say something, but suddenly found that I couldn't say it.

His lips were getting closer and closer, and his eyes were cold.

He pressed it down, but put his hand on my lips, and heard Zhang Xibao say lightly: "General Lu, Princess Mu Qiu thinks there is nothing else to do, just leave it to me, thank you General Lu, General Mu Qiu Qiu came to the rescue."

"Mu Qiu, she still feels a little unwell." He said.

A pair of hands were still pressing on my shoulders, preventing me from moving.

But Zhang Xibao said: "It doesn't matter, if I'm here, the imperial doctor will come over right away."

He was a little upset, but let me go.

I breathed a sigh of relief and panted heavily, the wrist he pinched was still painful, I thought he pinched my acupuncture points just now, and I was speechless.

Zhang Xibao asked someone to fetch a blanket to wrap me up, and wiped my face with a handkerchief: "Princess Mu Qiu, there is nothing wrong, don't be afraid."

Naturally, the maid who followed me would be afraid of such a thing.

It didn't take long for the emperor to arrive, seeing me shivering in Zhang Xibao's arms, his eyes were full of haze, he strode forward and picked me up from Zhang Xibao's arms, and said coldly: "Give me everything!" Come from Zhenghua Palace."

It wasn't very comfortable at first, but when I was frightened again, my head was as heavy as iron. I knew I was causing trouble again. He blamed them now, and he would come to me in a while, so I huddled in his arms obediently and didn't dare to make a sound. .

Probably really not suitable to go out today, as soon as he came out, he fell into the water, and almost let Lu Xianhu kiss him, it was really scary.

I heard Zhang Xibao say outside: "Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault. The concubine's pearl chain slipped for a while before the maid picked it up. Sister Mu Qiu fell into the water. Please punish the concubine."

Her voice was sad, and every sentence was self-blame.

I had already changed my clothes, drank a bowl of Dingjing tea, recovered a little and went out, but I saw Zhang Xibao kneeling above the main hall, those few court ladies, and that somewhat cold and arrogant Yunsha.

She looked at me with some pride, and knelt in front of the emperor, but she didn't say a word.

I feel a little pitiful for Zhang Xibao, it's obviously nothing to do with her, before I fell into the water, I heard her call Yunsha or something, this Yunsha really didn't want to let me go, it was really unwise to do so.

The emperor noticed that I had come out and gave me a look. I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do, I just got a little frightened." I approached him proactively.

He frowned and looked at the wetness on my hair, waved his hand to let the maid fetch a soft towel and rub it for me, and said: "Go in and rest, I will take care of it here."

"Your Majesty, don't punish the talented Xibao." I bit my lips and looked at Zhang Xibao who was about to cry.

He said lightly: "I have my own judgment, Zhang Xibao, please be careful about what you say."

Zhang Xibao raised his head when he heard this, with tears in his charming eyes, and he said tactfully, "The weather is fine today. I heard that the peonies in the upper garden are blooming beautifully. Let's go to Sister Yunsha's place." I visited the little princess and saw that sister Yunsha was frowning these days, so I asked her to come out for a walk. Walking along this path, you can also see the water lilies in autumn. The concubine and sister Yunsha came forward to salute, and invited Princess Muqiu to go see Peony. Princess Muqiu was not interested, so the concubine resigned and left. However, Maple Leaf hung up the concubine's pearl necklace, and the beads rolled all over the floor , the maids quickly picked it up, maybe one accidentally bumped into Princess Mu Qiu who was about to stand up, and let Princess Mu Qiu accidentally fall into the water, it was all the fault of the concubine, the concubine deserved to die."

"Damn it indeed, who pushed Mu Qiu into the water?" He asked coldly.

No one said anything, I glanced at Yunsha, and she coldly moved her eyes away.

The emperor smiled softly, and that smile carried a deep chill. He said lightly, "Is there no one? Was it Mu Qiu who fell into the water?"

This sound was a prelude to his anger, and I knew it quite well.

But seeing Zhang Xibao kowtow: "Please forgive me, the emperor, it's all bad for the concubines, please punish the concubines."

I shook my head lightly, it wasn't Zhang Xibao, she took the lead to leave, the furthest away from me.

The emperor sighed softly and said: "I don't really want to know who it is. For me, there is no difference between the death of one person and the death of ten people. You and Yunsha, although you have been favored once, but Let me tell you, I don't really care."

When he was honest, Yun Sha was a little surprised by his frivolity, Zhang Xibao bit his lip and tears fell down.

The maid also heard what he meant, and quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy: "The emperor, please forgive me, this servant did not touch Princess Muqiu."

"It's not that I won't give you a chance, but..." He snorted coldly, did not continue, but elegantly picked up the tea and blew lightly, and took another sip.His demeanor was all sorts of leisurely, as if what he was talking about was not killing people, but disposing of a batch of flowers and plants.

"Your majesty, please forgive me. At that time, the slaves were picking up pearls. I don't know who bumped into Princess Muqiu. I only heard Zhang Cairen calling Yun Cairen." The maid couldn't help it, and said tremblingly Yes, the whole body is like sifting chaff.

When Yunsha heard this, she glared at the maids sharply.

"Oh." The emperor responded lightly, looking at Yunsha with a smile on his lips.

Seeing that she became uneasy, she began to say anxiously: "Your majesty, it's not a concubine. The concubine did not do these things. Your majesty, you should know that the concubine will not hurt Princess Mu. In the past, the concubine also... .”

But he didn't listen to her, but asked Zhang Xibao: "Zhang Xibao, is what the maid said true?"

Zhang Xibao bit his lip, but didn't say a word.

Yunsha panicked, took a deep breath and looked at the palace maid: "Whoever you are who bumped into her, you dare to stand up if you dare to do it yourself. Your majesty, you have to trust the concubine, the concubine would never dare to be so bold."

"It's always hard to tell." He raised his brows lightly: "The palace will always make people's hearts extremely daring, and can stain a person into blackness."

"Your majesty, my concubine would never dare. Why did the concubine bump into Princess Muqiu? The concubine is not asking for trouble. Your majesty, please don't listen to their mouths splashing dirty water." She hurriedly said As he said that, he was so flustered that cold sweat came to his forehead.

The lady in the palace came forward and offered me ginger soup. He didn't dare not to drink it, so he took a bowl and blew some to cool it down and drank it slowly.

Only then did he put down the bowl and heard Eunuch Chen say: "Your Majesty, I think the maids who come to Princess Muqiu's side will know more about these things."

The maid knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The maid was also helping Zhang Cairen pick up pearls. She didn't pay attention to who deliberately bumped into Princess Muqiu. She only heard Zhang Cairen call Yun Cairen. Princess Mu Qiu fell into the water, and the slaves were so panicked that they hurriedly called for someone."

He looked at Yunsha more and more sternly when he heard that, Yunsha shook her head and called: "Your Majesty, this servant is deliberately slandering my concubine, someone must have bribed her to instigate her to say so."

"Even if I borrow ten guts from my servant, I will never dare to lie." The maid kowtowed: "This is what I heard at the time. It's because this servant failed to protect the Lord. This servant deserves to die." After kowtowing a few times, she said: "A few days ago, Princess Mu Qiu went to Zhenghua Palace, and happened to meet Yun Cairen on the way. Yun Cairen also reprimanded Princess Mu Qiu, forcing Princess Mu Qiu to step on the flower mud, and even said something threatening. thing."

When Yunsha heard it, she broke into more cold sweat, and she was a little dazed.

These are all true, and I don't deny it, Yunsha hates me, but will it hurt me so much?If he hadn't hated it to the extreme, he wouldn't have done these things in full view, it would be throwing a brick at his own foot.

But I really didn't dare to say anything, people in the palace are too complicated, people want to harm me, in fact, it's only because of something unexpected, if it wasn't for Zhang Xibao's call, no one would dare to say that she came.

I looked at Yunsha, I know she hates me, but she wants me to die, I don't understand, even without me, the emperor would not spoil her for a long time.I have such an intuition that the reason why the emperor dotes on her is because her surname is Yun.

Yunsha trembled all over her body, shook her head weakly, looked at the emperor but wanted to say something but couldn't say it, turned around to look at Zhang Xibao, and said loudly: "Sister Zhang, it's not me, you must be mistaken, right?"

Zhang Xibao didn't say a word, just bowed his head and burst into tears.

The emperor said coldly: "Eunuch Chen, take a look at the broken pearl rope. I want to see what kind of maple leaf is so powerful that it can hang up the fish twisted rope with pearls in the palace."

As soon as this remark came out, I was shocked.

What kind of problem does the emperor see?

Is that Zhang Xibao?That's true, how about letting the soft maple leaf hang up?It happened to fall.

My father-in-law came up, and I turned my head to look curiously. It was a five-strand fishing twisted rope. The white rope had some toughness. How could the five-strand intersecting ones be broken by Maple Leaf.

He pulled up the break to look at it, and I squinted my eyes to look carefully, but I saw that the four strands of fishing line were broken neatly, while the other strand of fishing line was torn off, with a few tiny strands stretched long and thin. Slender, just such a drizzle bears the weight of a string of huge pearls, and it is indeed possible to break at any time.

I looked at Zhang Xibao and thought, the emperor is really too careful.
