Qiao Yuange and the head nanny talked to each other for a while, and finally went to the main hall together, where they saw An Linhuan and the two young eunuchs kneeling on the ground.
An Linhuan seemed to know that this would be his fate.
At this time, many people have already realized that they and the two eunuchs are not playing such a big game. Wherever they go, they will be pointed at by others.
Many maids even said behind the emperor's back that because they were not favored by the emperor, they wanted to find a man as soon as they became maids, saying that they were hungry.
But An Linhuan didn't care anymore. What was there to care about anyway? For her, she had basically died once. Reputation was not important, and face was not important. It was unpleasant to be pointed at by others, but what about it?
Anyway, she could pretend she didn't hear it.
Xiao Yun saw Qiao Yuange coming, but he had no intention of stopping the interrogation.
He was playing with a teacup on the table, his eyes fixed on it, and after taking a closer look, he said nonchalantly, "What are you going to do? Are you looking for death?"
This was the first time An Linhuan saw Xiao Yun after working as a maid for such a long time.
Seeing that Xiao Yun's expression was quite calm, even handsome and cool, with an indifferent look on his face, An Linhuan felt distressed.
She was very sad. She clearly had the chance to be with this man before. She was even his woman. She felt sad when she thought of this.
She said to Xiao Yun: "Your Highness, I didn't expect you to do it so personally. You actually took the time to personally interrogate a maid. It is my honor."
Xiao Yun only raised his eyebrows, not wanting to look at the woman's face. His tone was already too impatient, and he said coldly: "I am not idle, it's just because of your identity that I can't shirk this matter. You, can't you be honest? Why do you have to seek death? Don't you want to live?"
An Linhuan paused for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yun with some curiosity. It seemed that he wanted to confirm whether Xiao Yun was talking to him now.
Why did Xiao Yun's words sound so gentle? An Linhuan rarely heard Xiao Yun speak to him like this.
In her memory, Xiao Yun's attitude towards her was always calm, serious and arrogant, without any patience, with alienation and contempt.
At this time, she became a maid, but Xiao Yun suddenly became gentle, which made An Lin's heart tremble violently.
She knew that, in fact, she had seen all kinds of dirty things, and the only thing missing was someone who could do something to her suddenly, so if someone did something to her, it would basically capture her heart at once.
She really hoped that Xiao Yun would rush over and hug her. If she were surrounded by warmth, she believed that she would be able to let down her guard immediately.
But it seems like I'm just dreaming.
Then Xiao Yun continued weakly: "To be honest, I don't like to meddle in your affairs, but you really have too many things to do. I am very busy every day and have no time to care about your affairs. What I want to ask is, can you do something else?"
An Linhuan seemed to finally understand. She was so moved just now, but in fact, she was only moved by herself. Xiao Yun was not interested in her at all. He was just too lazy to waste so much time on her.
Before An Linhuan could say anything, Xiao Yun changed his posture and continued to stare at the teacup, carefully observing the patterns. He said to An Linhuan, "Do you know what the best way for a person to take revenge on someone is? That is to surpass the other person, so that you can be better than him. But looking at your current situation, you look down on Qiao Yuange, but you will never be better than him."
An Linhuan burst out laughing. Just now, she thought Xiao Yun finally had some feelings for her. All that gentleness was just an illusion.
An Linhuan gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Yun, "Yes, I just don't like Qiao Yuange. I just hope that she can have a better life. What's wrong? If Your Highness doesn't kill me, I will definitely do it. I am so arrogant, but it seems that Your Highness can't do anything to me, right?"
Xiao Yun said, "There is a way, but I have never been willing to use it on you. After all, you are worthless. It is not worth wasting manpower and resources on you. That is why I have been reluctant to deal with you. But now it seems a little difficult."
"I really need to think carefully about how to punish you."
After Xiao Yun thought about this, he raised his eyes and thought about this matter very seriously.
But at this moment, Xiao Shunzi, who had been silent all this time, immediately raised his eyes and said to Xiao Yun: "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with Concubine An. It is all my fault. Please let Concubine An go."
Xiao Yun then turned his head and looked at Xiao Shunzi kneeling on the ground. He asked in confusion, "Do you think I'm a fool? Didn't you hear what An Linhuan said just now? Also, what did you call An Linhuan just now? Concubine An? How dare you call her that?"
Xiao Shunzi was kneeling on the ground at this time, and saw that although Xiao Yun said this, his expression was very calm.
It was obvious that the situation at this time was that An Linhuan, he and another eunuch were having problems, but Xiao Shunzi couldn't care less and should protect An Linhuan anyway. Not for anyone else, because she was his woman.
"It was my fault. I was the one who hooked up with An Linhuan. It had nothing to do with her."
Xiao Shunzi seemed to want to say something. An Linhuan looked at Xiao Shunzi in surprise. It was obvious that he had not expected that this little eunuch would take all the blame on himself.
But why do this?
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor didn't know what An Linhuan was thinking? Not only the emperor, but everyone in the harem was watching An Linhuan's joke, but An Linhuan was not afraid of being laughed at. She also knew that at least Xiao Liang could protect her for a while, and during this period of time, she could still show off.
So there is no need to drag Xiao Shunzi into this.
So An Linhuan said, "It was all my fault. You know it. This guy doesn't even know Qiao Yuange. Why did he attack Qiao Yuange? He is innocent. I asked him to do it. Please let him go."
Xiao Yun looked at An Linhuan in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Is this the first time you have shown such great kindness to the people around you? Before, you were always cold and everyone could become your stepping stone."
