Xue Zu'e said this, paused, gritted her teeth and ordered: "Come here, demote her to the rank of palace maid, put her in prison, and then deal with her according to the palace rules!"
Hearing this, Xiaodie trembled all over and looked at Xue Zu'e with a pleading look on her face: "My queen, please forgive me. Xiaodie didn't mean it. My queen, please forgive me..."
Xue Zu'e couldn't bear to see her begging for mercy, so she hardened her heart and said, "Why don't you drag her down?"
So several eunuchs, under the Queen's orders, forcibly dragged the maid Xiaodie down. Until she left, her cry-like pleas were still echoing in everyone's ears.
Almost everyone could predict the tragic end of the maid Xiaodie... When they thought that she was the most proud maid around the queen a moment ago, and now she has become a prisoner, many people shuddered in their hearts.
This is the deep palace. No matter how beautiful it is, no one knows what kind of fate it will face in the next moment!
Xiao Yurao watched all this with cold eyes, witnessing with her own eyes that Xue Zu'e ruthlessly chopped off her most effective assistant in order to preserve the dignity of her queen, and secretly sneered in her heart.
Perhaps Xue Zu'e herself never expected that not only would she fail to win in this plan, but she would suffer heavy losses!
Because the culprit was Xiaodie, the framed palace maid Xia He was also acquitted... Xue Zu'e could not avenge her personal revenge in front of everyone, so she could only look at Xiao Yurao hatefully, with a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
.
This time, she underestimated Xiao Yurao too much. Not only did she not take this opportunity to teach Xiao Yurao a lesson, but she also lost a loyal maid to herself!
But she will never let Xiao Yurao off easily... She will definitely remember this revenge, and soon, she will get it back from Xiao Yurao!
Many guests also knew that the queen was in a bad mood, so they came forward to comfort her with a few words of comfort, and then they all left.
Concubine Wang and Concubine Zheng originally wanted to stay and take the opportunity to please the queen, but Xue Zu'e hated their previous words of agreeing to severely punish Xiaodie, waved her hands and said coldly: "You all should leave, I am tired..."
So Wang Concubine and Zheng Concubine could only leave angrily.
The prime minister's wife and several princesses were very close to Xiao Yurao. After Xiao Yurao personally escorted them out of the palace, he invited them to come and sit in the palace when they had time, and they all happily agreed.
Before leaving, the Prime Minister's wife thought of something again, took Xiao Yurao's hand and said, "Xiao Zhaoyi, I have a few words that I don't know whether to say or not!"
"Madam Prime Minister, please speak directly!" Xiao Yurao nodded and smiled.
"Although Xiao Zhaoyi has no relatives here, you are still the princess of Dayin. The good relations between the two countries are due to Xiao Zhaoyi, the princess of the marriage. Even the daughter of a powerful minister cannot be as noble as you..."
Xiao Yurao was silent for a moment and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Madam Prime Minister, for reminding me!"
She knew that the Prime Minister's wife's words were a kind reminder to herself that she was not without a backer... If the backers of the concubines in the harem were her father's family, then her backers were the entire Dayin!
Even if Xue Zu'e hated her again, he would not dare to blatantly harm her... destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries is much more serious than the crime of jealousy!
When Xiao Yurao returned to her Yong'an Palace, the maid Dongmei whispered: "Princess, it seems that many wives have chosen to side with you during this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet!"
Xiao Yurao smiled faintly and said: "They are just judging the situation. How could they not see that Xue Zu'e is stumbling upon me today?"
"Then princess, why are you..." Dongmei didn't understand why her master had to swallow his anger before.
