Before Fatty Wang could explain himself, Daner picked up the ginseng from the ground.
"My lady, this is ginseng!"
Fatty Wang quickly explained: "This... Madam... this is Wang..."
But before he could finish his words, Li Zhiyi interrupted him with a wicked smile.
Because when Li Zhiyi saw this ginseng, she had already made up her mind.
"What are you talking about? I know what you're talking about!"
"This is the prince's ginseng, right? The ginseng is kept in the treasure house. How could an ordinary servant dare to eat such a precious medicine? I didn't expect that you would steal it!"
steal!
Lai Chi-yi hit the nail on the head and directly defined the core of the matter as stealing!
Stealing means breaking the law, which means that the fat man Wang in front of him is a sinner.
Fatty Wang was about to speak again, but was interrupted by Li Zhiyi again.
"You don't have to explain. You mean you want to make ginseng soup for the prince, right? You don't have to make excuses like that. This queen has already seen that you people in the kitchen are sneaky, especially since you followed that woman Qian Ruoyu, your quality is even lower!"
"Don't think I don't know what you are doing. We opened the door so late just now. Was it to hide these things?"
Li Zhiyi didn't listen at all. She even looked at the men and women in other kitchens and gave orders.
"Take out everything you have hidden in your sleeves. You guys really don't know how to live or die. You even dare to steal the prince's things!"
At this time, Qian Ruoyu was behind the haystack next to Li Zhiyi and the others. After seeing this scene, Qian Ruoyu was naturally happy.
It seems that what he said was right. Li Zhiyi only knew how to confuse right and wrong. In order to let Li Zhiyi continue this farce, Qian Ruoyu hinted to everyone to hand over the things in their hands.
This time, Qian Ruoyu continued to prepare to teach Li Zhiyi a lesson.
Although Li Zhiyi had been taught a lesson last time, it was obviously not so effective. This time, Li Zhiyi actually thought that he was not here and came to the kitchen to give orders again.
The servants can’t do anything, but can’t Qian Ruoyu do anything herself?
And under Qian Ruoyu's suggestion, everyone naturally and immediately took out everything they were hiding in their hands.
Seeing this series of rouge, powder and these precious Chinese herbs made Li Zhiyi feel like she was going crazy.
"you……"
She said incredulously.
"It would be fine if there were only one or two thieves, but I didn't expect that everyone in our palace is thieves. Are all the people in the kitchen stealing things?"
Li Zhiyi came to Zhang Ma and Xiaohong and snatched the rouge and powder from their hands.
She just touched it lightly and found out that the price of these rouge and powder was not bad, and immediately said angrily.
"It seems that these should also be things in the palace!"
"Could it be that even my Zhiyi Pavilion has been stolen by you?"
Then she handed the rouge and powder box in her hand to Dan'er beside her, "Take a closer look and see if this is what was placed in our Zhiyi Pavilion. See if it was really stolen by them!"
Daner just took a look and immediately spoke as if it was conclusive evidence.
"My lady, you are right!"
"These two boxes are indeed from our Zhiyi Pavilion. They actually went to our Zhiyi Pavilion to steal things. This is really an unforgivable crime!"
Hearing what they said, Qian Ruoyu, who was sitting next to the haystack, almost laughed out loud.
Qian Ruoyu had not expected that the master and the servant would be in such harmony with each other and really make things a big deal.
But Qian Ruoyu didn't care. She would never let Li Zhiyi leave the kitchen so easily today.
Teaching Li Zhiyi a lesson was just Qian Ruoyu's pleasure. That was also why Qian Ruoyu had no intention of exposing Li Zhiyi so soon.
Zhang Ma, Xiaohong and others had no way to defend themselves. After all, they couldn't get a word in and could only allow Li Zhiyi to frame them.
Li Zhiyi still spoke arrogantly.
"Haha, what's wrong? You are speechless now that I have said it, right?"
"Do you want to explain it yourself, or should I tell the prince now and let him punish you?"
However, everyone received their rewards from Qian Ruoyu in the first place, so they were naturally not worried about being punished by the prince.
However, Xiaohong seemed to see through Qian Ruoyu's tricks and immediately stepped out to cooperate.
"These... these things are ours, we didn't steal them!"
"My Lady Concubine, if you don't believe me, you can investigate it carefully. We will never steal your things!"
Xiaohong kept calling her "Concubine Lady", which made Li Zhiyi even angrier.
Although Li Zhiyi was indeed a concubine, she was at least called the queen since before Qian Ruoyu was married.
Now that Qian Ruoyu had married into her family, she had completely become a second-rate concubine. How could she be happy?
It was when she heard the words "Concubine" that Li Zhiyi felt even more crazy.
Li Zhiyi said directly.
"Do we still need to investigate when the evidence is solid?"
"It seems that none of you are willing to admit your crimes, and the prince is not in the palace now, so I have no choice but to find some others to come."
"Dan'er, go call the prefect of Jingzhao over here and ask him to bring more people over. Tell him that a large-scale gang case has occurred and a bunch of people have teamed up to steal the prince's and my property!"
Daner nodded immediately after hearing this.
But before she could walk out, Xiaohong stopped her.
"My Lady, since you said we stole it, where is the evidence? If there is no evidence, what should we do?"
Wang Po also came out in a hurry, "My Lady, according to the laws of the dynasty, those who make false accusations will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"
Li Zhiyi was really shocked this time.
Because before this, the servants didn't dare to talk to her in this tone.
Every servant spoke to him respectfully, and all these changes were due to Qian Ruoyu!
That's it, she said directly angrily.
"You...you servants, are you planning to rebel?!"
"You all don't have to listen to what I say, and you actually spoke to me like this. This is really a crime of insubordination. You should all be arrested and taken to the government office..."
But before she could finish, Xiaohong said something that made her even angrier.
"My Lady Concubine, you haven't told me what to do yet. Are you going to frame us and then walk away as if nothing happened?"
"You seem to have done this more than once, right?"
