Xia Luotong looked at the queen with a smile and said: "The palace people also said that I am stealing people. How can the Queen believe such nonsense? What's more, it has been proven that he has slandered me. Shouldn't the Queen be interrogated? What is the purpose of this palace man? Why did he come to question me instead?"
She smiled softly and said softly, but the sharpness in her words made the queen's face stiffen and look a little displeased. But what if she was unhappy? Because she was right!
Xia Luotong was standing in front of everyone intact at this time, and the situation at the scene also proved this. She was wrongly accused!
In this case, the queen had no reason to interrogate her in such a questioning tone, as if she was interrogating a prisoner.
Being refuted like this, the queen's face suddenly turned ugly. Thinking that she, the majestic Queen of Zhou, was actually talked back to by a princess in front of so many people, how could she still have the majesty of the queen?
But just when the Queen was about to say something, Xia Luotong spoke first and blocked the Queen's unspoken words: "When it comes to this matter, I am still very confused. How could the palace maid fall while she was walking on the flat ground? Moreover, she hit the concubine directly, and the soup in her hand splashed over the concubine. It was really scary! Those who didn’t know it thought that She deliberately insulted my concubine, this palace maid can’t even walk well, I don’t know how she stayed in the palace.”
Xia Luotong looked at the queen pointedly. The queen was in charge of the harem now. By saying this, she was implying that the queen was not able to control her well and could not even train the palace people well.
The queen naturally heard the meaning of her words, and her face suddenly turned ugly. She said with a sullen face: "The palace maid may have tripped over something. Since the princess is fine, there is no need to be too harsh on the palace maid, otherwise it will be the opposite." It seems that the princess is petty and inhumane."
The emperor and Concubine Wu were both around at the moment, and the queen would naturally not let Concubine Wu have the opportunity to show off in front of the emperor. She did not want to bear the reputation of being incompetent in training the palace people.
Although she is a queen and holds the phoenix seal to rule the harem, her position as crown prince is not yet secure. Concubine Wu and the second prince she gave birth to have been eyeing her, and her weight in the emperor's heart is not necessarily lower than that of their mother and son. At present, At this critical moment, she couldn't let Concubine Wu take the chance.
When Xia Luotong heard what the Queen said, he couldn't help but raise a sarcastic smile. In the Queen's mouth, it was not the fault of the person who made the mistake and harmed others, but the fault of the victim.
She said deliberately: "The Queen is so right! I am too magnanimous and talkative. I didn't blame the palace maid at that time. In the end, the palace maid slapped her nose in my face and threw my concubine in the forest. In the side hall on the other side, there was no one left at all, which was really rude."
When the queen heard Xia Luotong's weird tone, her heart surged and she was extremely depressed!
Xia Luotong was mocking her!
Although they were very angry, the queen and everyone also noticed the information in Xia Luotong's words. Unexpectedly, Xia Luotong was not in this side hall just now, but went to the side hall next door? Could it be that the little eunuch kneeling on the ground remembered the wrong place and mistakenly thought that Princess An was having a secret meeting with her lover?
The Queen and some others had another layer of speculation in their minds. Was today's incident caused by a misunderstanding by the eunuch, or by Princess An taking advantage of the situation and resolving a crisis against her?
Just when everyone was guessing, Xia Luotong suddenly took two steps closer to the soft couch, as if he was carefully distinguishing something, and then suddenly said in surprise: "Hey! Isn't this the one who poured my soup? A palace maid? She actually...?!"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused, frowned, then showed a look of disgust, and took a few steps back. She even took Wu Zechen's hand and stepped back a little, as if she was afraid of being contaminated by something unclean. Average stuff.
Everyone didn't notice anything strange about Xia Luotong's actions. They only thought that she was disgusted with the situation on the soft couch, so she backed away in disgust. After all, although Yang Hongan and the palace maid had already put on their coats, the clothes were still there. Even though his hair is messy, you can still tell what he is doing at a glance.
But only Xia Luotong knew in her heart that she acted like this not because she was disgusted with what had just happened on the soft couch, but because she smelled something strange when she got closer.
The strange fragrance spread very quickly, and I'm afraid it wouldn't take long for it to reach her current location, so she couldn't wait too long and had to settle the matter and leave as soon as possible.
Others did not notice anything strange about Xia Luotong, but Wu Zechen clearly caught her abnormality. At this time, he clearly noticed that Xia Luotong held his hand a little tighter, and his eyes became more cautious. .
He frowned, not knowing what happened, and he couldn't help but look at her with some worry.
"Princess, are you sure this palace maid is the one who spilled the soup before and led you to the side hall next door?" Concubine Wu on the side suddenly spoke, immediately attracting the attention of the queen, whose eyes were full of evil. color.
Concubine Wu's simple words had the meaning of bringing the reputation of poor control to the queen. This skill of finding every possible opportunity was really impressive.
"I'm sure it's her! No wonder she led me to the back of the side hall, then left me behind and disappeared. It turned out that she actually came here... It's really unsightly!" Although Xia Luotong was very dissatisfied with Wu The imperial concubine was indifferent to this person, but she didn't mind following her words and referring to the queen, and said with a look of feigned disgust on her face.
After hearing this, the palace maid suddenly trembled and cried out in fear. She knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed in the direction of the emperor and queen: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Queen, please spare your life! I don't know anything about this servant. After being sent to the side hall, he was knocked unconscious by the maid who was following the princess, and when he woke up again, he had been given to this young master... This slave is really unjust!"
The palace maid cried so much that her body was shaking with fear. The sadness of losing her virginity had long been forgotten by her. How could those things matter to her life? ! She could not even imagine what would happen if she did such a sloppy thing in the palace and was discovered by the emperor and empress on the spot! So at this time, she could only try her best to divert everyone's attention, and it would be best to blame Princess An for this matter! In this way, as a victim, she would be more likely to save her life!
At this time, the only thing left in the palace maid's mind was the thought of survival!
Xia Luotong had a sneer at the corner of her mouth, looked at the palace maid and said coldly: "I didn't expect that a palace maid like you could be so scheming. It's really humiliating for you to be a low-class palace maid. I picked out a few key points. You have avoided other information that is not good for you, but it is really like that. How dare you put this blame on me?"
