Zi Lin lowered his head and saw that the fabric and thread in the embroidery basket had been cut into pieces, and he was suddenly startled.
"Ah! Sister Jiaoli, what you embroidered yesterday..." She clenched her fists tightly and glared at the two people behind her who were snickering, and said, "It must be you who did it!"
Hearing this, Liusu folded his arms, rolled his eyes at Zilin, and said mockingly: "Do you have any evidence? Are there only two of us in this room? I'm afraid it's not you who is guilty, but the thief screams "catch the thief?"
The two immediately covered their lips and looked at each other and couldn't help laughing happily.
As she raised her hand, Lianrong frowned slightly. She looked at the lake blue marks on her hand and saw Liusu's hand, and swallowed with some guilt.
The two of them rubbed it hard with their hands, but the color did not fall off. Lianrong asked anxiously: "What is this?"
Did it get on it last night? It was so dark that I couldn’t see clearly...
Chu Jiaoli sniffed pretending to be aggrieved and said: "You can't stand me, just take it out on me, why do you need to destroy this embroidery? I spent the whole day embroidering yesterday, and it was ruined like this...
...You are so cruel..."
Hearing Chu Jiaoli's sobs, the two of them didn't care about the color on their hands. Lianrong rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "Is there anyone in Muyang Palace who is as idle as you? We just can't stand you!
If you don't restrain yourself, there will be something even more powerful waiting for you!"
Liusu echoed with a proud face: "That's right! If we don't give you some color to see, we will really think that we are vegetarians!"
Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli looked at them pitifully and said, "But what's wrong with you, why do you have to cut things that belong to the queen?"
Hearing this, the two of them suddenly trembled: "Empress? Which empress?!"
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, looked at them innocently, and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling."
When they heard Concubine Ling, they both trembled.
They rolled off the bed and staggered to the wash basin, trying to wash away the inexplicable blue evidence in their hands, but the color did not fade.
Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said, "I applied this dye on the thread at night. It hasn't dried yet, but you guys have touched it. I'm afraid it will take at least three days for the color to fade."
Hearing this, the two of them were shocked and frightened like thunder. In their panic, they also knocked over the basin and splashed their clothes.
The two of them knelt down in front of Chu Jiaoli in embarrassment and said: "Master Jiaoli, you don't remember the faults of villains, so you can bypass us!"
Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips in grievance and said: "This...how can I be the master? I'd rather report it to His Highness and ask Your Highness to make a decision..."
Zi Lin glared at the two people who were cramming and said, "Sister Jiaoli, don't let them go!"
"Yes." Chu Jiaoli nodded, then turned around and said with a hint of tears, "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me..."
As she spoke, she quickly walked towards Beigong Tengxiao's house.
As soon as they stepped into Beigong Tengxiao's house, the two of them rushed in and knocked Chu Jiaoli to the door.
Beigong Tengxiao had just woken up and stood up. When he saw Chu Jiaoli crumbling at the door, he immediately came to Chu Jiaoli at the speed of changing body and shape, and raised his hand to hold her waist.
Liusu and Lianrong crawled to Beigong Tengxiao and knelt down, crying: "Your Highness, please spare your life! Your Highness, please spare your life!"
When Beigong Tengxiao saw the two people looking sad, he frowned and said, "There are no rules and regulations, what are you doing in a hurry?"
"Your Highness, I have something to ask of you, and I hope Your Highness will grant it..." Chu Jiaoli lowered her head, frowning in grievance, and her pitiful voice was slightly crying.
Beigong Tengxiao's expression suddenly turned worried when he looked at her, and then he raised his hand to gently brush away her tears, but his face was clean.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile hidden in his eyes.
This little girl is acting again.
"Stop acting! You're the one who wants to harm us! Now I want the bad guy to file a complaint first!" The impulsive Liusu couldn't help but yelled at her regardless of the current situation.
Lianrong immediately pulled her sleeves, then kowtowed crazily and said: "Your Highness, please spare your life! The slaves really didn't mean it. I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
Chu Jiaoli raised her hand and gently pulled Beigong Tengxiao's sleeve, still crying pitifully: "Your Highness, they ruined Concubine Ling's fabrics, how can you, this servant, do this..."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao gently raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of joking hidden in his eyes, and said, "Oh? Then what do you think?"
Chu Jiaoli glanced resentfully at the two people who were kowtowing desperately, and said to Beigong Tengxiao: "Of course I want to leave it to Concubine Ling to deal with it personally, but I don't know... will your Highness let them go?"
Beigong Tengxiao looked at her hand holding his sleeve with a half-smile. He slightly tightened his hand around her waist and pulled her closer. Looking at her slightly frightened eyes, he said: "That pear
Do you hope that I will release him?"
Chu Jiaoli swallowed and slowly clenched the fist in her sleeve, as if... she had overacted.
She frowned slightly in discomfort, bit her lip lightly, and now she could only bite the bullet and continue acting, saying: "It would be great if His Highness could let him go, so that I can go back to life with the imperial concubine...
"
The smile in Beigong Tengxiao's eyes grew thicker, and he said: "How can I not listen to what Li'er said? You are the most powerful maid in Muyang Palace. Naturally, the people under you are at your mercy.
."
After taking a look at Liusu and Lianrong, who had frightened faces, Chu Jiaoli bit her lip gently and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for agreeing."
After finishing his words, Beigong Tengxiao shouted outward: "Jingyue Jingling, help Jiaoli escort the two of them."
"Yes." The two of them stepped into the house as ordered and immediately dragged the two criminals out.
"Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life!" The two maids shouted desperately.
Hearing the screams fading away, Chu Jiaoli looked at the slightly embarrassing atmosphere and immediately pushed Beigong Tengxiao away. After standing firm, she hurriedly saluted and said, "I'm sorry, please leave."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
After slowly exhaling a breath and adjusting his emotions, he walked in front of the four people and walked in the direction of Leling Palace.
Leling Palace.
Concubine Ling had just finished washing and dressing up. She was dressed in a grape-purple noble dress. Her delicate willow-leaf eyes had a hint of laziness. She looked at her beautiful appearance in the bronze mirror, which still stood out among all the other beauties.
The corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.
The maid at the door came in, bowed to Concubine Ling, and said: "My dear, the maid Jiao Li from Muyang Palace would like to see you."
Hearing Chu Jiaoli, Concubine Ling had a hint of joy in her eyes and said, "Have you finished the embroidery so soon? Tell her to come in quickly!"
The maid bowed her head and responded: "Yes."
Soon, Chu Jiaoli walked in with the torn cloth and her head lowered. The two maids escorted by Jingyue Jingling had their eyes swollen from crying. They only let out sobs because their mouths were gagged with cloth strips.
