"What's wrong with the princess? How are you taking care of her? Why don't you help her back to the palace quickly!"

The heavy snowfall became more and more severe, and Yao Xianxiu fell to the ground unconscious.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, the Princess was in her confinement period! She had to force herself out, so she fainted."

"If she wants to come out, you just let her come out? Why don't you go if she wants you to die?"

Xia Ruyan's stern look was shocking, so the slaves present worked hard to carry Yao Xianxiu back to the bed in the palace.

"What happened today? What's the reason? Please explain it to me!"

Before she could sit down, Xia Ruyan asked coldly. There was a majestic look on her arrogant face, which made several maids shrink aside timidly. Look at me, look at you.

, no one dared to reply.

"I ask you again, how do you serve your master? If you don't reply, I will drag you all down to fight and give you fifty!"

Xia Ruyan's low roar echoed throughout the palace, causing several maids to shrink into silence.

"Back to the Crown Princess, the Princess lost her baby in pain, so... So she couldn't think about it and ran out of the palace barefoot. The slaves' hands were slippery and they couldn't hold her back...

"

Yunyao bowed her head and knelt on the ground, her expression was heavy and her words were choked. Her reply finally made the others relax.

"In that case, why didn't you send someone to report it immediately?"

Xia Ruyan's sharp expression instantly calmed down a bit, and her tone softened a bit.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, this happened so suddenly. Everyone is very worried about the Princess. In addition, there are only a few servants in our imperial palace, so... So everyone is busy worrying about the Princess...

………”

Xia Ruyan suddenly cleared her throat: "So, how is the princess's condition?"

Yunyao kowtowed again and replied: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the Princess's condition is not very good. When she learned that her child was... dead, she was always grudged and couldn't let it go! Therefore, she has never let go.

When I woke up, I asked the slave, but the slave couldn't resist and had to tell the truth, but the princess couldn't accept the bad news, so she was so crazy that no one could hold her back!"

"Oh? If that's the case, why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor to come and check, how do you all work as maids?!"

Her expression darkened, her brows furrowed in anger, and her uncertain expression caused the hearts of all the kneeling slaves to fluctuate with the changes in her expression.

"Yes! Hongxing, go quickly and invite the imperial doctor! Xinrou, please go and report to Concubine Jiang! Remember! You must truthfully confess Princess Lin's situation, and don't leave anything out...

…”

Yun Yao turned her head to make arrangements for the maids behind her one by one, but Xia Ruyan stretched out her hand to signal: "Wait! You don't have to bother Concubine Jiang. I will naturally go to answer the question. Just ask the imperial doctor to come.

Can!"

"Yes! I obey my command!"

Hongxing raised her hand in response, then stood up and walked out of the gate, running towards the ice and snowy palace gate.

"Don't think that one is better than the other in passing the buck, so you can use your brain to do things that are both submissive and submissive when you are getting paid from the royal family all day long. Once you enter the palace, the gate is as deep as the sea. You can't go wrong with doing things in a down-to-earth manner and being sincere!"

Xia Ruyan walked around and lectured the maids who were kneeling on the ground. Suddenly she walked back to the chair and sat down.

"Okay! I'm giving you a warning today. If you make the same mistake again next time, it won't be as simple as kneeling down."

"Thank you, Princess!"

The crowd bowed down and kowtowed. After bowing to Xia Ruyan, they stood up one after another.

"you!"

She suddenly raised her finger to Yunyao: "Come here! I have something to ask you!"

Yun Yao timidly took a few steps forward, moved forward and saluted, saying: "Yes..."

Seeing her timid expression and reserved behavior, Xia Ruyan cleared her throat and calmed down her sharp expression slightly.

"Just tell me everything about the princess! The others can leave later."

"yes!"

Everyone bowed and kowtowed, knelt down and retreated. Only Yingxu was dragging his feet, and he was still unable to step out of the door.

"...Yingxu, are you okay?"

Xinrou was about to step back to help her, but she secretly shook off her hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I just walk slowly...just walk slowly..."

Her move of secretly dumping Xinrou made her feel dissatisfied, and she secretly thought to herself: "What happened to Yingxu today? Why did you dump me? Humph! Did I help him with good intentions, but did I do the wrong thing?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but snorted softly, and walked out of the door angrily.

"It's true that good intentions are not rewarded! Just let you, a lame man, mess around on your own!"

However, Xia Ruyan, who is as cunning as a snake, could not have noticed Ying Xu beside the bedroom door. Yun Yao seemed to be speaking plausibly, but in fact she was not listening to her words attentively, but her eyes secretly glanced at the people who had been in the bedroom.

Ying Xu was waiting at the door, not only her eyes were shining, but the corners of her lips were also curved with a sly smile.

"Huh? Who is that at the door? Why haven't you left yet?"

Her question immediately interrupted Yun Yao's words, and she followed Xia Ruyan's gaze and turned to look at the door.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, slave... I have injured my legs and feet, so I have difficulty walking! I hope the Crown Princess will be merciful and spare this slave!"

After greeting Xu, she turned around and knelt down on the ground again. Although she looked obedient in her bow, her eyes secretly moved towards her forehead.

"In that case, then come over and sit down! You can take care of me when you are traveling with Yunyao later!"

Xia Ruyan stretched out her hand to motion for her to come over and sit down, and then continued to listen to Yun Yao's narration.

"…………So, the princess was caught off guard and rushed out of the way of all of us, and ran to the back garden alone, saying that she wanted to see people alive and dead bodies..."

Yunyao paused, apparently saying she was tired.

"So...so then there was a scene that you witnessed with your own eyes, Princess. In fact, all the maids tried their best, but the slaves had no choice but to do it!"

She paused again as she spoke, thinking she was waiting for Xia Ruyan to make a comment.

"Well! Yes, I really can't blame you for this, but in any case, it is indeed a fact that you are not serving the princess well, and you cannot escape the blame for this. If there is no punishment at all, you will inevitably not be able to accept it.

Everyone, we must not set such a precedent in this great palace, otherwise wouldn’t it be a violation of the rules if we attract people to imitate it?”

Xia Ruyan's expression suddenly sank as she spoke, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"Then...then may I ask how the Crown Princess will decide?"

Yunyao leaned over, kowtowed, and asked timidly.

"The imperial concubine arranged for me to come to the Imperial Palace, just to see with my own eyes whether you girls from the Hou Mansion who came in from outside the palace have human ethics and ethics. If not, let me come to train you. It turns out that you really have no rules.

, so I will punish you to go to other palaces to follow your example and serve as a warning to others!"

Yunyao and Yingxu immediately bowed and kowtowed: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for being open to the public! May the Crown Princess be safe!......"

Immediately, the corners of Yingxu's lips curled up in a slight arc, and a hint of joy instantly appeared on her brows...
