Zhao Xuanjing thought for a moment and immediately sent someone to investigate the identity of this Great Consort Mei. Then, he tied up the two gardeners.
In the hall, the young ladies were quite concerned about what was happening outside.
âSigh, the gardeners are quite innocent. If theyâre punished because of this, it seems a bit unreasonable. Should we ask Young Lady Xie for mercy later?â Someone could not help but ask.
Then, they all looked at Xie Xi.
âYoung Lady Xie, the spider didnât bite you after all. What do you think?â Dong Xiyun looked at Xie Xi with a smile, her face full of concern and kindness.
âIâll listen to my elder sister.â Xie Xi was quite determined.
She was already 13 years old. She knew many things.
It was just that she did not like to talk about it.
âYour elder sister dotes on you, so she insisted on making a decision for you. But think about it, if the gardeners are killed because of this, your reputation would be terrible, right? Besides, the gardeners really work hard. Didnât you see the callus and soil in their hands just now? This is all to let us admire such beautiful flowers, thatâs how they got into trouble. Second Young Lady Xie, you are the daughter of an official, so you are generous and magnanimous. You should forgive them a little, donât you think so?â Dong Xiyun said to Xie Xi.
When Fang Muxue heard that, she laughed. âThatâs easy for you to say. If you were the one who was bitten, you would want to kill them more than anyone else.â
Today, Qin Liu, who had the best relationship with Xie Qiao, was not around. After all, her status was not high enough.
That was why Fang Muxue, who was on Xie Qiaoâs side, had to protect her dignity. How could she let Dong Xiyun bully Xie Xi?
Feng Shuangshuang also spoke, âYoung Lady Dong, youâre magnanimous. Donât make Xie Xi beg. When the Crown Prince comes later, why donât you talk to him?â
âLetâs be clear. These gardeners arenât from our residences. If they accidentally did something wrong, they would be forgiven. However, they serve the nobles. I heard that the nobles in the palace love flowers and plants and admire them every day. If they are usually so careless and donât check carefully, they will hurt the nobles. What should they do? In my opinion, it is indeed a severe punishment.â The other young lady could not help but express her opinion.
âItâs just an occasional omission. Xie Xi is fine as well. They will definitely remember it in the future and will be grateful to the Crown Prince for sparing their lives. However, if they donât let go, wonât others think that the Crown Prince is too harsh?â Dong Xiyun also had her reasons.
She did not want to let go of Xie Xi. âSecond Young Lady Xie, say something!â
âIf you make a mistake, you will be punished. Itâs not up to you how they will be punished,â Xie Xi said word by word. âDonât ask me. I donât care about this. My nose isnât long enough.â
âHehe!â Fang Muxue could not help but chuckle.
âThatâs right, Young Lady Dong. Arenât you poking your nose a little too far? In the imperial palace, what right do you have to ask how the Crown Prince wants to punish the gardener? First Young Lady Xie is the future Princess Consort appointed by the Emperor. While you... the Fourth Prince is about to leave the palace to build a residence. In the future, you will also have to live outside. This is not your home,â Fang Muxue said with a smile.
The East Palace of the Crown Prince was in the imperial city.
No matter how many people thought that the Crown Prince could not ascend the throne, as long as he was the Crown Prince, he had the right to decide the life and death of all the servants in the imperial city!
There was nothing wrong with a light or a heavy punishment!
âY-You are really cold-blooded.. Although it is not our business, should we just let it happen before our eyes?!â As she said that, Dong Xiyun revealed a disappointed look. âIsnât the life of a servant not worthy?â
