As Xia He finished speaking, everyone started to talk in a low voice.
Xiaodie, the maid next to Xue Zu'e, heard Xia He say this, for fear that she would say that it was her own actions in front of everyone, and sneered, "Nonsense, why would anyone kick you on purpose? Everyone who serves around the Queen is all
After many choices, you can’t put the blame on others!”
"Yes, Xia He, you said someone kicked you on purpose. Could it be that the maid next to the queen would want to make the queen burned by hot wine?" Wang Ping didn't believe Xia He's rebuttal and sneered.
"I didn't lie!" Xia He's face turned slightly red and said firmly.
"Hmph, who can believe it with your one-sided words?" Xiaodie glared at Xia He fiercely, and said to Xue Zu'e: "Empress, don't believe what Xia He said. I think that Xia He has ulterior motives and has already
Stopped to the jail trial!”
Of course, Xue Zu'e didn't want to see this palace maid Xia He who dared to disobey her in the past was still in the palace and became Xiao Yurao's confidant. She was silent for a moment and nodded and said, "Xia He, don't blame me for being ruthless. Your words are unfounded.
, I can't believe you. Your fault today has disappointed me. If I spare you, the servants in this palace will be even more lawless!"
When Xue Zu'e said this, she turned her gaze to Xiao Yurao on the side and said slowly: "Xiao Zhaoyi, I want to punish this Xia He today, won't you feel pity again?"
Her sarcastic words were clearly accusing Xiao Yurao of pleading for those servants who were in charge of the bad chrysanthemums!
Xiao Yurao looked at Xue Zu'e's personal maid Xiaodie's excited reaction and had already guessed something. Now, hearing Xue Zu'e say this, she smiled faintly and said, "Empress, before punishing Xia He, I have a way to know what Xia He said.
Is it true or false!”
"What's the solution?" Xue Zu'e asked patiently.
She didn't believe it, and Xiao Yurao could tell something and turn the situation around for her confidant Xia He!
Xiao Yurao asked Xia He to stand up, and in front of everyone, asked Xia He to lift the hem of the skirt and said loudly: "Since Xia He was kicked hard, there must be shoe prints on the hem of the skirt, so you might as well
Look closely…”
Because today is a chrysanthemum-appreciation banquet, Xia He specially chose a plain palace skirt, so the shoe prints on the back of the palace skirt are indeed clearly visible.
"Sure enough, there are shoe prints. It seems that she is not lying!" Everyone nodded and said.
"But now, although I know that Xia He is not lying, I still don't know who is so brave. I kicked her while Xia He was pouring wine!"
Although Wang Concubine was dissatisfied, she was unwilling to let Xiao Yurao live a good life, so she asked again.
"It's very simple. If you look at the shoe print carefully..." Xiao Yurao pointed to the clear shoe print and analyzed it in an orderly manner: "Looking at this shoe print, it is not the purple-skinned shoes worn by ordinary palace people, but the scepter's head shoes.
Most of the people who can wear scepters and shoes are sitting in the table, and it is impossible to kick Xia He. As for the palace maids who can wear scepters and shoes, there is probably one Empress!"
As soon as Xiao Yurao said this, everyone looked at Xue Zu'e, and Xiaodie, the maid standing beside Xue Zu'e, had a pale face, and her hands hidden under her wide sleeves were also sweating coldly.
She never expected that she was going to plot against Xia He, but she was plotted against him.
