Xiao Baobao was persuaded to leave by the people in Zhaoyang Palace, and the crowd of people soon disappeared from sight.
Xie Yun's body, which had been stiff, finally relaxed, but her back felt cold, and a sense of fear surged up. If the queen mother was a step late...
With such a thick bamboo strip, even if it was only hit once, she would not be able to see anyone for a long time.
But she had to take this risk, otherwise, if Concubine Yue was worried about her all day, how would she survive for the next five years.
Fortunately, the result was good.
She patted her chest, picked up the clothes that were thrown aside, checked that they were not damaged, and then folded them and walked back.
Yin Ji was still handling government affairs in the imperial study at this time, so she had free time. It happened that the little palace maid came to deliver the flowers that were newly picked today, so she took the vase and carefully arranged them.
After one vase was finished, she looked at the flowers in a staggered manner, and her mood became very good.
But the beauty was interrupted in just a moment, because there was laughter outside, and she knew it was not Yin Ji, or it was not just Yin Ji.
She had never seen Yin Ji laughing with others in the three years since entering the palace.
She looked out and saw that it was not just Yin Ji. Xiao Baobao was following him like a tail all the way into the Qianyuan Palace. Even though Cai Tianxi followed behind and tried to dissuade her, he could not stop her at all.
Intermittent voices came in.
"Her Majesty, please stop making trouble. The emperor is very tired today."
"Where did I make trouble? Xie Yun used the queen mother to plot against me, and the emperor, don't you support me? Do you know that the queen mother scolded me so fiercely? You can't watch others bully me like this, brother Ji? Brother Ji~~~"
Xie Yun hid to the side. She didn't want to listen to the following words, but she didn't dare to listen. She didn't want to hear Yin Ji favor Xiao Baobao without asking right or wrong, nor did she want to see the two of them standing together, as if she was the outsider and the enemy.
She quietly walked out of the small door of the ear room and asked the little maid on duty to explain for her. If the emperor asked, she should say that there was something wrong with the daily clothes today and she stayed in the Shanggong Bureau to help.
But even so, Yin Ji still noticed her traces as soon as he entered the room. The vase of flowers was obviously her handiwork - there was always one flower that stood proudly alone when Xie Yun arranged it.
However, he entered the room but no one came to greet him. It was obvious that she had left.
She just left without asking...
He looked back at Xiao Baobao, thinking of her two calls to Brother Ji that gave him goose bumps, and snorted with an ambiguous meaning.
Seeing that Xiao Baobao was still pestering him, he raised his hand and patted her head: "Okay, I'm not biased towards her, but the Queen Mother usually stays at home and rarely goes out. Xie Yun couldn't have known that she would pass by there. It was just a coincidence."
Xiao Baobao keenly noticed that Yin Ji's mood had improved a little, and thought that her previous coquetry had worked, so she quickly hit the snake with the stick: "Brother Ji, believe me, she really did it on purpose, she just wanted to use the Queen Mother to deal with me! You have to punish her."
Yin Ji frowned, but still patiently said: "Don't make trouble, even if I am the emperor, I have to be reasonable in doing things. How can I attack people at will without any evidence?"
Seeing that he didn't listen, Xiao Baobao started to throw a tantrum: "I don't care, I don't care, I can't swallow this breath, you call her out to vent my anger..."
She was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal, but she didn't expect Yin Ji's face to sink: "Look at what you look like?!"
Xiao Baobao was stunned by the harsh scolding. She didn't dare to make trouble anymore, but she felt very wronged. She didn't understand why he was so fierce suddenly when he was fine just now.
She used the same trick again and grabbed Yin Ji's dragon robe pitifully: "It was obviously her who caused me to be punished, why are you scolding me, brother Ji, you can't do this..."
Yin Ji was unmoved, and his eyes became more severe: "The Queen Mother is not an unreasonable person, you tell me, what did you do to make the Queen Mother punish you like this?"
Xiao Baobao choked, and the complaints on her lips could not be said.
She turned her head away with guilt: "Well, I didn't do anything, I just asked her to kneel down to me..."
Yin Ji obviously didn't believe it. The Queen Mother would never make a big fuss for Xie Yun. Xiao Baobao must have done something else, but since nothing happened, it must not be out of line, so he didn't bother to ask.
In any case, he owed the Xiao family a favor, so even if the former court and the harem were a little excessive, he wouldn't say much.
"This matter ends here. Since you have copied the palace rules, remember them well and don't violate the Queen Mother's taboos again. You are not allowed to cause trouble in the palace in the future."
Xiao Baobao couldn't believe it: "I have suffered such a great injustice, and you don't care about me?"
Yin Ji didn't speak, but Cai Tianxi hurriedly persuaded: "My queen, you can't say that. The Queen Mother has her reasons for punishing you. If you feel wronged, aren't you saying that the Queen Mother is wrong?"
Xiao Baobao was choked and wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Yin Ji's cold and ruthless look, her guilty conscience turned into anger. She stomped her feet fiercely: "Okay, if you don't ask for justice for me, I will do it myself. Even if the Queen Mother protects me, I will never let her go!"
Yin Ji's eyes condensed, and his tone suddenly rose: "Xiao Baobao, this is not just a personal grudge between you and Xie Yun, but also about the majesty of the palace rules. If you violate it again, I will never forgive you!"
Xiao Baobao froze and looked over in disbelief. Yin Ji, who had always been gentle and indulgent to her, would actually warn her so harshly.
The grievances gushed out and instantly drowned her. She cursed him for being partial, covered her face and ran away crying.
She was mad in her heart. When Yin Ji caught up with her, she would never forgive him no matter how he coaxed her, unless... unless he smashed Xie Yun's face in front of her!
But she waited and waited at the gate of Qianyuan Palace, but there was no one behind her. Not to mention Yin Ji, he didn't even send out a servant.
Xiao Baobao couldn't hold it anymore, and tears kept falling.
When Shen Guang came over, her face was all red from crying. The maid was frightened and quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her face. She asked carefully, "Master, what happened?"
When asked this, Xiao Baobao burst into tears: "Brother Ji is partial. I told him that Xie Yun framed me, but he refused to listen. He also asked me to remember the palace rules and scolded me... woo woo woo..."
"Master, don't cry. The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree, and the Emperor can't do anything... Let's go back to the palace first, so as not to let outsiders laugh at us... After we go back, I'll make your favorite Fenggao, okay?"
Xiao Baobao was persuaded by her to go out, but she stopped before leaving the palace: "No, I can't stand this grievance. She hurt me so much, I have to find evidence... She lives in a side hall, right? There must be something in her room, I'll go and take a look."
Shen Guang quickly stopped her: "Master, this is Qianyuan Palace. If you go in to search for something and get seen by others..."
Xiao Baobao was so angry that she didn't care about anything anymore and went straight to the side hall where Xie Yun lived.
