Otherwise she would have died. She stretched out her hand in front of Ming Xiaochen and asked her to hand over her clothes.
"This dress is already wet, you better not look at it." Ming Xiaochen shouted in his heart, "Oh no," isn't it true that she doesn't have three hundred taels of silver in this place?
"Bring it here." The palace maid had no room for negotiation at all. The hand she extended to her shook, and she looked at her with eyes that could not refuse.
"This... I'm going to wash it now, don't look at it." Ming Xiaochen's hands trembled, how could a palace maid look so frightened?
"Bring it here, don't let me do it." His sharp eyes swept over her body, and a dangerous aura emanated from her body.
"Okay, I'll give it to you, don't be angry." Ming Xiaochen knew that he had no way to hide, so he had to hand over the clothes in her hand obediently.
Hong Tao, who was watching from the side, almost cried. It was finished, it was finished, and someone discovered it.
"You are so brave, you actually made a hole in the imperial concubine's clothes." When the palace maid discovered that there was a hole in it, her expression suddenly changed.
"This has nothing to do with your Majesty. This dress floated over from the other side. When I picked it up, I found a hole in it. It was not torn by your Majesty." Hong Tao quickly said that this dress belongs to her.
You can't let your empress be punished for what you fished out.
"What? Hongtao, what do you mean? Do you mean that I broke it and framed it for you?"
When the palace maid opposite them heard what Hong Tao said, she quickly defended herself: "Master Inspector, these clothes are originally on their side. What is floating over from our side is nonsense. If you don't believe it, you can ask
Ask someone else.”
"Do you think what she said is true?" the patrolling maid asked the other maids who were washing clothes in the same pool while holding the clothes.
"Yes, this portion was originally on their side, not from the opposite side of her as she said." The palace maid next to her replied.
"You are so brave. You tore your clothes and you dare to lie and frame others." The patrolling maid stared at Hong Tao with an angry look.
"Master Inspector, I tore these clothes. If you want to punish me, just punish me."
When he heard them say this, Ming Xiaochen knew that they were basically in the same group. No matter whether it was done by them or not, someone must bear the blame.
The two of them were no match for them at all. She didn't want Hongtao to be punished, so she had to confess herself.
"Empress, this is not you at all..." Seeing Ming Xiaochen come out to confess, Hong Tao immediately jumped up and down, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ming Xiaochen: "Hong Tao needless to say, no
Because I tore my clothes, you have to be punished. Sir Inspector, if you want to punish me, then punish me." Ming Xiaochen looked at her fearlessly and said.
"Did you know that if you accidentally tore a piece of clothing, all of us washing clothes might be punished?" The patrolling maid held a piece of clothing and stared at Ming Xiaochen coldly.
"I'm sorry, it was all broken because I was careless." Ming Xiaochen lowered his head and silently admitted his mistake.
"Your Majesty, how can you plead guilty? Sir Inspector, it was not my Majesty who tore these clothes, it was me who tore them."
