"Do it." Si Ningchi said the two words with a smile in his eyes as usual.
Xi'er's face turned pale with fright. She looked up and saw several palace maids and eunuchs approaching her with needles and threads. She burst into tears instantly: "Sister Mei Zhi, save me!"
She shouted in panic and urgency, and the woman who stepped forward had already reached out and grabbed her chin, locking her in place.
Mei Zhi probably didn't expect that Si Ningchi would be so fearless. Even though she said this, Si Ningchi didn't listen to the advice at all.
"Empress!" Mei Zhi raised her voice to stop her. Looking at Qian'er who was pinned down and unable to move, she was also a little anxious: "Qian'er made a mistake for a moment. It's all my fault. Please forgive me, Empress."
"Oh? What's wrong with Miss Meizhi?" Si Ningchi was not in a hurry, and just looked at her with a smile and said.
"I am the eldest maid of Xuanming Palace, and I have the responsibility of controlling myself. Qian'er is still young, so I can't bear to scold her harshly. That's why I made such a gaffe today and offended the Queen." Mei Zhi lowered her head and said respectfully: "The Queen.
To be magnanimous, please let Qian'er go this time."
"What if I don't?"
"..."
Mei Zhi took a breath, she had never seen such a person!
She had already said all the good things to say, but Si Ningchi didn't leave any room for it. Even the emperor didn't notice. How dare she!?
Si Ningchi arched his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Look at how frightened Miss Meizhi is. I am not an unkind person."
She raised her lips and smiled, her attitude was extremely gentle, she looked at Mei Zhi with a smile and said: "If you really don't want this little palace maid to suffer this crime, I will be a little more lenient just for your sake."
."
"It's just..." Si Ningchi fiddled with his slender fingers and said: "If she is exempted from the crime so easily, how will I discipline the palace people in the future?"
"Since Miss Meizhi came up with this idea and took on this responsibility, then you should take it for her." Si Ningchi said with a dancing eyebrow and a smile: "I think Miss Meizhi will definitely be willing to fight with her sisters.
Right?"
"Mama Cao's embroidery skills are outstanding. She will definitely sew Miss Mei Zhi's mouth beautifully." Si Ningchi leaned on the armrest of the chair, looking at Mei Zhi's expression with joy, as if he couldn't wait to see this scene.
Similar.
"Don't worry, Queen, I will definitely sew carefully." Aunt Cao came forward with a smile and leaned over.
Mei Zhi's expression suddenly changed. Seeing that the slave who had been holding Qian'er down now turned around and walked towards her, the calmness she had maintained for a long time finally became unbearable. She retreated in panic and struggled: "
Queen! This slave is from Xuanming Palace!"
Si Ningchi said calmly: "I am the queen of Tianqing Kingdom, why can't I touch you?"
She raised her eyebrows and waved her hand with a smile. Aunt Cao came forward with the needle and thread, and ordered someone to hold her down. There was panic in Mei Zhi's eyes. She looked at the shining needle tip with great fear, and then raised her eyes to look at the neat and tidy needle.
Si Ningchi looked at it as if a nerve had burst in his mind.
She clearly realized that she was wrong. The Queen was not someone she could mess with. She was simply a lunatic!
Mei Zhi continued to struggle, and Grandma Cao frowned and held up the needle and said, "Miss Mei Zhi, it's better to be honest. My craftsmanship is good, but this needle is not obedient. If the needle is crooked and the flesh is pulled off, it won't look good."
Mei Zhi wanted to scream and ask for help, until she felt the sharp pain of the needle piercing her lip, and finally couldn't help crying, fear swept through her body, and blood flowed into her mouth.
"What are you doing?" Just when Si Ningchi was leisurely admiring Mei Zhi's fear, Zhao Zongheng stepped in from outside the palace and frowned when he saw that the courtyard was packed with people.
"Your Majesty, help me!" Nanny Cao let go of her hand, and the half-pierced needle left her hand. Mei Zhi violently broke away from the suppression, and crawled to Zhao Zongheng's feet with fear in her eyes, howling loudly.
Crying for help: "The Queen is going to kill this slave, Your Majesty, help me!"
"..."
The sharp shouting made Zhao Zongheng's eyebrows twitch. He looked down at Mei Zhi, whose mouth was full of blood and was trembling at his feet, and his frown deepened.
Si Ningchi stood up slowly, with a bit of dissatisfaction that his mood was spoiled, but he did not show it. He only moved forward and said: "I see the emperor."
Zhao Zongheng responded calmly and did not do anything immediately. Instead, he glanced around at Si Ningchi and asked, "What is the queen doing?"
Si Ningchi showed a smile: "Embroidery."
Meizhi, who was kneeling on the ground with his mouth full of blood: "...!!!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Mei Zhi wanted to reach out and grab Zhao Zongheng's robe, but she didn't dare to just sob and say: "The Queen wants this slave's life!"
"I am talking to the queen, how can I allow you to interrupt." Zhao Zongheng's eyes fell lightly, his eyebrows trembled, and his body did not dare to speak again.
"Let me see what kind of flowers you are embroidering." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes again and looked at Si Ningchi.
"We haven't finished the embroidery yet." Si Ningchi looked regretful. He pulled Zhao Zongheng to sit aside and said, "She disturbed my concubine's purity and made arrogant remarks. I thought she was the emperor's maid, so she
I want to embroider flowers on her mouth."
"Let her know that she has to say some sweet words before I like to hear them." Si Ningchi looked at her with deep eyes, smiled charmingly, pulled Zhao Zongheng's sleeve and shook it and said: "
I might as well say something nice to the emperor."
Zhao Zongheng could understand the reason for the situation in front of him at a glance. He raised his eyebrows after listening to Si Ningchi's words, his expression was calm and calm, and he didn't know what his emotions were.
Mei Zhi broke into a cold sweat. She saw the Queen pulling the Emperor's sleeve, but the Emperor showed no intention of evading him and allowed her to approach him so freely. She had served in the Xuanming Palace for many years, and had she never seen Zhao Zongheng be so kind to anyone?<
/p>
"I don't like to hear other people say nice things." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and looked at Si Ningchi's delicate and glistening lips, reached out and pinched her chin and curled her lips.
"Wang Chengxiang." Zhao Zongheng called out in a nonchalant manner: "Pull him down and slap his mouth eighty, and expel him from Xuanming Hall."
"Yes." Wang Chengxiang was not surprised at all that the emperor punished Mei Zhi, and he didn't even ask for the specific reason. Since the queen said so, he just listened to it.
"Your Majesty!?" Mei Zhi looked up in shock and struggled in disbelief: "This slave is unjust, she is the Queen..."
"Stop her mouth!" Wang Chengxiang's face darkened, and he had someone cover Mei Zhi's mouth to prevent her from saying another word.
This farce ended in such a way that almost everyone in Xuanming Hall turned pale. They had been working in Xuanming Hall for a long time and witnessed with their own eyes how Mei Zhi gained face in front of the emperor, but now the emperor is so merciless in punishing him.
