As soon as Lan Xin said this, she was glared at by the other three women.
Meixiang: "Why are you bringing up those dirty things in front of Junyu? Be careful not to offend Junyu."
Lan Xin shut up awkwardly, looking a little aggrieved. She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Lezhi, and seeing that she had no reaction, she felt even more aggrieved.
Meixiang fed the girl mouthful of food, and she ate very obediently.
The Xiao family has always had good looks, and Huai En is the most beautiful of the four children of Emperor Ming. A male vixen who catches her eye must be good-looking.
Xiao Lezhi's appearance combines the best features of her parents. She is the most graceful at the age of ten, with fair skin like cream, a small face the size of a palm, a beautiful nose, white teeth, and round lips the color of cherries. The most beautiful thing about her is her eyes.
Her eyes are round, and when viewed from the front, she looks like a silly little animal. When she lowers her eyes, the corners of her eyes are upturned, giving her the charm and seductiveness of a fox.
She didn't look dull or stupid, there was light in her eyes, but she looked lazy, as if she had no interest in anything. The corners of her eyes were drooping, making her look naive, lazy and charming... Then, a pair of fluffy fox ears emerged from her head.
"Ah, the ears...the ears are coming out again!"
Lan Xin exclaimed and quickly asked the other two maids to close the door. Mei Xiang also became nervous: "Little ancestor, don't show your ears again. If His Highness Xiyu sees you, he will scold you again..."
Xiao Lezhi: "Close your ears, I'm tired..."
After she finished speaking, she fell backwards. Meixiang and Lanxin were quick to catch her. The two women looked at each other, with helplessness on their faces, and picked up Xiao Lezhi and dragged her onto the bed.
As soon as she got on the bed, Xiao Lezhi turned over and lay on her stomach, with her buttocks slightly raised and a tail sticking out from the hem of her skirt.
Inside the house, the four maids sighed helplessly upon seeing this.
Seeing that Xiao Lezhi was about to become paralyzed again, and estimating that he would be paralyzed for a whole day, the maids tiptoed out and closed the door carefully.
Outside the door, the four maids, Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, looked at each other and sighed.
They were all personally selected by the Emperor and Empress. They had been serving Xiao Lezhi since they were young and grew up with him. Naturally, they had a special relationship with him.
Huai Enqi begged the emperor and the empress to bring Xiao Lezhi to the Huai En residence, and the four maids naturally came along. Not only were they there to serve and take care of Xiao Lezhi, but the four of them also received Empress Liu's favor, so they could secretly observe whether Huai Enqi had really come to his senses.
To be honest, Huai En behaved like a loving mother at the beginning.
But fake is fake. Every time Huai En saw Xiao Lezhi showing his ears and tail, he couldn't control the disgust on his face. After watching it a few more times, he couldn't even act anymore.
At that time Meixiang suggested taking Xiao Lezhi to the palace, but on that day, Xiao Lezhi, who had been stupid and dumb since childhood, spoke for the first time.
She said:
——Too lazy.
This statement made Meixiang and the others very excited.
When the news reached the palace, the emperor and empress were very happy. Huai En came out to invite Xiao Lezhi, saying that Xiao Lezhi was able to speak because he was with her, his biological mother.
Meixiang's four daughters felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly. They wanted to expose the truth, but they had no evidence.
In addition, they were unable to confirm whether Xiao Lezhi's words had anything to do with Huai En's actions.
In short, because of this, the emperor and empress intended to let Xiao Lezhi continue to stay in the palace.
The speaking Xiao Lezhi's performance is not much different from the past. The only change is that he seems to be a little lazier?
But this change is not a big problem for the four daughters of Meixiang.
Their little princess has been well-behaved since she was young. She is just a little lazy now. What's the big deal? She is too lazy to dress herself, comb her hair, or pick up food to eat. Can't they help her dress, comb her hair, and feed her?
"Lan Xin, you just overstepped the line. Why did you mention those two dirty things?" Mei Xiang thought of Lan Xin's talkativeness just now and felt a little displeased.
Lan Xin: "I said too much, but those two people died just like that, don't you think it's too coincidental, Sister Mei? I'm just afraid that this will implicate our county."
Zhuxue and Juyue beside them also nodded in agreement, their faces full of disdain when this was mentioned.
Meixiang raised her finger to make a hushing gesture, then quickly performed a soundproofing gesture and signaled them to lower their voices.
The deceased chef and the female lead were both invited by Huai En from outside. The chef was a famous chef, and his cooking skills were said to be better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace.
That female role was also extremely famous in the capital, and many dignitaries liked to invite him to perform in their mansions.
As it happens, both of them have good looks, and in Beijing they are called the "charming chef" and "beautiful dan", which is nothing serious.
But on the day when these two people entered the palace, Meixiang went to the palace to report the situation to Empress Liu, but did not come to the palace.
Zhuxue and Juyue were suddenly called away by Huai'en, leaving only Lanxin.
As a result, someone suddenly appeared in the yard. As soon as Lan Xin left Xiao Lezhi's side, she felt something was wrong and hurried over.
Although it was only a short time, when Lan Xin rushed over, she saw with her own eyes the cook and the actor coming out of Xiao Lezhi's room.
Lan Xin was shocked and angry at the time, and she scolded them loudly, asking them how they had the courage to break into Jun Yu's boudoir?
But the condition of those two people at that time was so strange, as if someone had drained all their energy and spirit from them, and they looked listless like two lazy bugs.
Lan Xin was worried about Xiao Lezhi's safety, so she rushed into the room to check and confirmed that Xiao Lezhi was fine. After asking carefully, Xiao Lezhi just lazily said that they were here to deliver Tang Xianqu'er. Lan Xin couldn't tell whether he had done anything else.
Lan Xin didn't have any evidence, and after Huai En's arrest, he sent someone to take the two away. The soup sent by the cook was drunk by Xiao Lezhi, but Xiao Lezhi didn't show any abnormality. Lan Xin could only think that she was overthinking.
After Meixiang came back from the palace, the four girls pondered over this matter together, and found it extremely terrifying.
Now that the two men were dead again, Lan Xin could not help but be shocked and angry. She always felt that the two men just wanted to break into Xiao Lezhi's room and do something bad to him.
䀴At that time, Huai En must have secretly made a move, otherwise how could it be so complicated that they were all transferred away from Xiao Lezhi?
Meixiang frowned and lowered her voice: "Zhuxue will go to the palace soon. We still have to report this to the Queen. If the deaths of these two people are really related to her, she will become more and more unscrupulous in the future. It is not safe for the county to stay in the palace."
Lan Xin's face was grim: "I just can't understand it. If Jun Xiao really came out of the Xiao family, Huai En Xiao herself would not be able to escape the blame. Is she crazy? She actually found two such bastards to destroy her own daughter?"
Meixiang's eyes showed contempt. There were some things she couldn't say, but she had some guesses in her heart.
Huai En had always been reckless in matters of relationships between men and women, and even after Xiao Le found out about her scheme, she had not learned her lesson, and she still had many male favorites.
Perhaps she thought that her daughter would like nice colors just like herself, so she found two good-looking ones and sent them to her.
Or, to put it more darkly, she just couldn't stand or even hated her daughter.
After all, from Huai En's perspective, this daughter was her stain. It was also because of Xiao Lezhi's appearance that she was disliked by the emperor and empress.
Anyway, this Huai En is neither a good mother nor a person who will reflect on her own mistakes.
"I hope we are overthinking it. If there is anything fishy about the deaths of the cook and the actor, it will be discovered. Hasn't the Demon Suppression Department closed the case?"
As Meixiang was speaking, a purple-robed guard hurried in with a stern look on his face:
"Officer Mei, the Demon Suppression Division is here."
Meixiang's expression changed slightly: "What is that person doing in the mansion?"
The purple-robed guard shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I just got the news that the family of the cook and the female role who died a few days ago went to Huangquan Division to burn incense and complain about their grievances. The person in Huangquan Division personally took over and mentioned the name of the Demon Suppression Division, asking him to go to Huangquan Division in person."
"That Yu Siqi did make it out of Huangquansi in one piece, but he sent someone to divert and head to Xiqi Mansion halfway through."
Mei Xiang looked a little stern: "Go and find out why Yu Si came to the Xixi Mansion?"
After the purple-robed guards left, Zhu Xue hurried to the back door, ready to enter the palace to find Queen Liu.
While the four maids were busy, Xiao Lezhi, who was lying in the room, yawned and opened her eyes lazily. She climbed up from the bed reluctantly and looked at the half-open window.
There was a sparrow perched by the window, its small black eyes staring at her curiously.
Although Meixiang and the other three girls used the soundproofing technique when they were talking, Xiao Lezhi could hear every word they said.
She heard it, and the sparrow heard it too.
Xiao Lezhi looked at the sparrow lazily: "Eavesdropping, bad."
The sparrow seemed to be startled and flapped its wings to fly. However, as soon as it opened its wings, as if it felt flying was too tiring, its body tilted and it fell down with a plop, landing on its back.
…
The main hall of the 䭹㹏 Palace.
Mu Yulang paused slightly as he brought the teacup to his lips. He put the teacup down and looked at the charming and yet girlish Highness Xiqi at the top of the table.
Huai En stared at Mu Yulang's face with burning eyes, her eyes full of obsession. It was obvious that she didn't hear a word of what the Demon Suppressor just said.
"I would like to meet Yue Zhijun."
Huai En 㹏 finally came to his senses and pouted with some dissatisfaction: "Why did Yu Si 㹏 see her? That child is not as interesting and pretty as me."
The demon-suppressing envoys were speechless. It turned out that His Highness 䭹㹏 didn't hear a single word they said just now.
Did she really think that the Demon Suppression Division came to her house just to drink with her?
"Huai En, Zhou Yi and Lang Xiu are dead."
"Hmm? Who are these two? What does their death have to do with me?"
"This person was invited into your palace not long ago to perform for Le Zhijun."
Huai En's eyes widened with surprise, and she stared at Mu Yulang tenderly: "So it was the cook and the actor? Yu Si, you don't think that I had them killed, do you?"
"Yusi, I will be sad if you doubt me like this."
Mu Yulang stood up, glanced at her calmly, then pinched his brows and said, "Your Highness, you haven't been beaten since childhood, right?"
Huai En was stunned: "What?"
Mu Yulang: "I'm old now, I can't stand seeing kids flirting, it hurts my eyes."
