sick princess

A few figures with the appearance of court ladies were escorted in. Looking at the palace attires on those court ladies, one can tell that they are all rough envoys, not some important and high-ranking court ladies beside the master.

Obviously, these court ladies rarely have the opportunity to meet high-ranking concubines on weekdays, and they can't even recognize the masters present.After being brought in, they knelt down in front of Empress Xu one by one like quails, and said tremblingly: "Slaves, please greet the ladies, greet the princesses, greet the princesses..."

Baoluo noticed that when these people appeared, the Sixth Princess Ji Changle's face changed slightly, but soon, she lowered her eyes again to cover up her emotions.

Princess Longqing had been paying attention to the words and deeds of the sixth princess, and naturally caught the unnaturalness that flashed away from the sixth princess, so she knew something in her heart.

"Seventh Emperor Sister, why did you call so many servant girls over for no reason?" Sixth Princess pretended to be puzzled.

Baoluo glanced at her with a half-smile.I don't know what kind of mentality the sixth princess is. The more guilty she is, the more she has to pretend to be full of anger on the surface... Does the sixth princess think that as long as she does not plead guilty, she will have nothing to do with her?

In the past, Baoluo never showed her powerful side in front of the Sixth Princess, it was just because the Sixth Princess didn't mess with her.Now, the sixth princess has done something to sow dissension by herself, causing the bitter master to come to her door, and she even tried to use Baoluo to take the blame, how could Baoluo let her get away with it?

Soon, Baoluo looked away.

There is nothing to talk about with people like the sixth princess. This is a master who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin.Only by putting the evidence in front of her can she be irrefutable.

"Do you know why Aunt Longqing called you here?"

Baoluo looked down at the court ladies kneeling in front of her from a high position. She had been the most honorable princess in the palace since she was a child, and she had an aura of calmness and prestige.

"Return, report back to the princess, servants... I don't know..."

"Oh? I don't know?" Baoluo chewed these words playfully, and said, "Then explain to me, what are the recent rumors in the palace—the words that praised Sister Pingning and demoted Fifth Huangjie? How did it get out?"

"Also, you usually have so little money on a monthly basis, how do you save money one by one, and ask someone to take it out of the palace? Do you really think that if you don't tell me, the palace won't find anything? Guess what? Guess, how long can I tolerate you when you treat me like a fool?"

Hearing this, the fifth princess couldn't bear it any longer, her teeth chattered with hatred, and she looked at the maids below with red eyes: "Did you spread those bastard words? You are really big dogs!" Bravery, I will not spare you!"

It's no wonder that the fifth princess was so angry. In fact, those words were too harsh, and it was like stomping on the fifth princess's wound.

Why the fifth princess has fallen out of favor a long time ago, and now in the heart of Emperor Zhaode, even Princess Pingning is no match for an outsider; what Princess Pingning is about to marry the most proud nephew of Emperor Zhaode, the future husband-in-law of the fifth princess I'm afraid it won't be one-tenth of Lan Chengyu's. In the future, the fifth princess will have to nod and bow when she sees Princess Pingning; , Princess Pingning is like a real royal princess...

Once these words come out, can the fifth princess bear it?

Not to mention her now, even when she had a relatively good temper before, she couldn't bear it.

So, the fifth princess went to find Princess Pingning in a fit of excitement.Princess Pingning Xu felt that there was no competitor. In front of the fifth princess, she was no longer as humble and gentle as before. Unable to hold back for a moment, he drew a hairpin on Princess Pingning's forehead.

The fifth princess does not regret everything she has done to Princess Pingning, but this does not mean that she is willing to be used as a knife.

What's more, these people dare to arrange her like this, they are so tired of living!

Baoluo and Ji Qinghan, one had a gentle tone, but there was danger and blood hidden in the words, while the other was full of hostility, wishing to rush up and beat people immediately.No matter which one it is, they can't stand it, let alone the two going out together now?

At that moment, those palace maids who had never seen the world poured out beans, and explained what happened in detail: "...that day, we were serving flowers and plants in the imperial garden. No, a beautiful sister came to us , talking to us in a soft voice, and finally, he invited us to have tea and snacks... The slaves are the most inferior maids in the palace, where have they eaten such sweet and soft snacks and drank such fragrant tea? Immediately, I regard that sister as a person with the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"Later, that sister came to talk to us a few times, knowing that our hometown was hit by a disaster, but we were too shy to send money back home, so she gave us an idea so that we could Get some rewards..." At this point, the ladies in the court showed embarrassment.

Baoluo said expressionlessly: "The advice given by the person in your mouth is probably to say that Wuhuangjie is wrong, so as to provoke the relationship between Wuhuangjie and Ningjie? Don't you know that you can arrange the master at will, Is it a capital offense?"

Her eyes narrowed, and she said sharply: "For a little money, you might even lose your life!"

"Yes...that sister said...many servants in the palace complained about the fifth princess, we just go ahead and say bad things about the fifth princess, so we won't be found out..." The maids were obviously very scared, She never expected that someone would come to her door so quickly.

"A bunch of bastards! I want you all to be executed!" The fifth princess was furious when she heard this.

Baoluo glanced at her indifferently: "Sister Wuhuang should not be in a hurry to show her prestige. Now, the culprit has not yet been tried. Could it be that Sister Wuhuang is satisfied with dealing with the following minions?"

The fifth princess looked at Baoluo angrily, but said nothing after all.

Baoluo clapped her hands, and several more people were brought into the hall.

The pupils of the sixth princess shrank: "Seventh Emperor Sister, what do you mean by this? Why did you arrest my personal maid? I know that every one of you bullies me when you see me bullying on weekdays. Now, even more It hit me directly in the face. The person who arrested me didn't even have a reason..."

"Sister Liu Huang, please save some effort. No matter what you say, what is black cannot be white, and what is white cannot be black. I have my reasons for arresting your personal maid." Baoluo interrupted the sixth princess rudely. Gossiping, pointing at the maids next to the sixth princess, he asked the maids who were arrested: "Look carefully, where is the 'sister' who advises you?"

"You'd better think it over before returning. Now, you have committed a serious crime by arbitrarily arranging your master. If you lie in front of your master again, it will be an even worse crime. Since I can find out about your affairs , Do you think that I can't find out other things? Now, I can still ask you here, but it's just to give you a chance to pay off your merits! If you don't know how to praise, I will We have to do business!"

Hearing this, the maids all stared at the maids close to the Sixth Princess as if they had grasped at the last straw.Listening to Baoluo's words, if they identify the court lady who advised them, they will have a chance to survive.That being the case, who wants to die?

In the past, they thanked her so much, but now, they hate her so much.She is not helping them, but driving them to their death!

"It's her, it's her!" Suddenly, a maid pointed to Yao Huangdao who was beside the sixth princess.

"Yes, that's right, she instigated us to spread rumors about the fifth princess!"

Baoluo stared at Yao Huang closely: "Yao Huang, can you plead guilty?"

Yao Huang glanced at the sixth princess subconsciously, and then said: "This matter was not done by the servant. The servant knows that the princess wants to find the person who spread the rumor as soon as possible, but the princess can't be wronged because of a few lowly servants. Innocent people!"

Yao Huang thought to himself that he didn't leave any evidence, even when he went to meet these people, he did it secretly and no one saw him.So what if these people identified her?Don't admit it!

"Do you think that if you don't admit it, I will have nothing to do with you and the master behind you?" Baoluo looked at Yao Huang like a clown.

This look made Yao Huang's heart tense. Although Yao Huang tried his best to comfort himself, the Longevity Princess was just bluffing, but the cold sweat constantly oozing from her forehead could not be deceived.

"Why, is the Seventh Imperial Sister going to beat her into a trick?" The Sixth Princess spoke as usual, unable to hear anything, but Baoluo found that her face was pale, not much better than her court lady Yao Huang.

"No need. I just need to find out how much Liuhuangjie's monthly bill is left, and I will know whether this is caused by Liuhuangjie. Fortunately, Liuhuangjie spends a lot of money, and there is not much left in the monthly bill. , otherwise, I’m afraid it’s not that easy to check.”

"There are five girls here, and each girl got ten taels of silver. If Sister Liuhuang really rewarded them with the monthly silver that she saved, I'm afraid I don't have much money now? Dare to ask Sixth Sister—the monthly silver is now How much is left?"

The monthly allowances of princes and princesses are not too much. A favored princess like Baoluo is okay, she can often get rewards from Emperor Zhaode, and has never been short of money; concubine Hui and the sixth prince are also okay, although they are loved It's mediocre, but Concubine Hui's natal family is quite wealthy. Concubine Hui brought money and jewelry into the palace at the beginning. Now, Concubine Hui's natal family still sends some money to the palace every month. There is no turning around inside.

But for a princess like Ji Changle who is unfavored and whose mother is humble, life will be difficult.Ji Changle didn't have a lot of money at all, and if she gave away so much money in one go, she might be even more stretched.

The sixth princess tightened her palms: "You also said that I spend a lot of money every month, and it costs a lot just to reward my servants. In addition, during the holidays, I have to spend a lot of money in front of my elders. Show filial piety, and occasionally buy some jewelry for yourself... Is it normal to have no money left?"

"Sister Six, do you dare to take out the account book and show us?"

"Don't deceive people too much! It's so good, why should I show it to you?"

"Who told you that the one who was identified was Liu Huangjie, the maid next to you? Liu Huangjie didn't dare to take out the account book to prove her innocence. Could it be that she has a ghost in her heart?"
