I sat upright in the hall, without anger or anger. Kneeling below was a palace maid of the first palace. Naturally, this includes my family's four maids. I hate this atmosphere. I hate how cold I can be right now.
Everyone lowered their heads in silence, and I didn't know where to start. Amongst the twenty or so people in front of me, there were the palace maids that served me day and night, my companions that spent time with me, and even my sisters that I confided in.
However, I am determined to find the person who betrayed me among these people. The Coarseness Maidservant who was serving at the back of the hall closed the door, and the smell of the orange peel became stronger and stronger in the room.
"Fog." I called her name first. "The light fog raised its head, and there was a thin layer of fog in its eyes." This tangerine peel is indeed very attentive. However, I would like to know what other things you have added to it. "
"Miss, I …" "I did not!" Qingwu bit her lips as if she was wronged.
"Last night, my eardrum also burned with this kind of spice, causing me to sleep very soundly." Even when the Empress came, she did not hear anything. " My clear and cold voice sounded very illusory.
Fog started to sob, but she just kept shaking her head.
"Xiao Chuzi, where did you go last night?" I stared at the Xiao Chuzi on the ground, my expression still as serious as ever. Xiao Chuzi trembled slightly. "Master, last night was … It's my stomach pain... To the latrine... That's why he wasn't guarding outside the door. This servant really did not inform anyone else. "
However, he heard a light snort from within the crowd, full of contempt and disdain. Just say whatever you want to say! " I don't want to frame anyone who really treats me well.
Mei Duo cried: "Miss, Qingwu, Wan Feng, Zhan Yan, and I have been serving by your side since. "Things haven't been investigated properly yet, so how can you suspect that we're trying to disappoint you?!"
"Aren't I the one who resents myself? You are all my companions. Yet, even among you all, a person who wants my life has appeared. Exactly where did I do wrong? He held back his tears and put on a face of resistance.
"Miss!" Mei Duo clenched her teeth and called out to me. Why did you become like this? " She leaned over and sobbed softly, tears dripping onto the blue brick, splashing even smaller drops.
I slowly stood up and said haughtily, "If I were to stand out myself now, I would still be able to let bygones be bygones. If you refuse to admit it and want me to find out, then don't blame me for turning hostile. "
There was silence again. The crowd was like dark clouds covering the sky. No one dared to make a sound.
"Cool, Ning Xiang, Xiao Luzi, Xiao Chuzi, Qingwu, Mei Duo. All of you stay here, while the rest of you go and do your own stuff! " After hearing what I said, those who were sent away all let out a sigh of relief. They were all secretly rejoicing.
As for the few people that remained, Ning Xiang's congealed face looked as obedient as usual. Xiao Luzi and the Xiao Chuzi were silent. Mei Duo and Qingwu cried incessantly.
I repeated what I had said before. "Now that you are all willing to stand up for yourselves, what I said just now remains true. I will not pursue this matter."
"Still, no one responded. I sighed helplessly. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. " I swallowed all of my tears and said loudly, "Ning Zhi, it's time for you to tell me what you know!"
