Chapter 49 Yi Jiazi Fell Into the Water (2/2)

Helian Jue felt his heart contract for a moment, ”Why didn't you go and rescue her immediately? How dare you set aside your master's life!”

Xiao Yuzi wept immediately then said in a tremulous voice, ”I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It was Yue Ji... It was she who commanded me not to rescue Yi Jiazi!”

Tang Xia could not stand it anymore, then said with anger in her eyes, ”Bullshit! When did I command you not to rescue her!”

Xiao Yuzi lowered his head then kowtowed immediately, ”How could you not admit that, Your Grace... You commanded me not to rescue her and I hesitated then... Or Yi Jiazi would not have drowned to death...”

Tang Xia opened her lips as Helian Jue noticed Shun Decai standing aside, wearing a hesitant appearance, then asked, ”What do you want to say!”

Shun Decai lowered his body with a shocked appearance, ”I... I seemed to hear that Xiao Yuzi saying something like 'I cannot obey your command' and 'I have to rescue her'...”

As Shun Decai spoke, Helian Jue's face darkened gradually, and he started to look at Tang Xia with aversion.

”Yue Ji, explain to me why you commanded Xiao Yuzi not to rescue Yi Jiazi and why you asked Yi Jiazi to the lotus pond at midnight!”

Knowing that the situation was unfavorable, Tang Xia knelt on the ground immediately then pressed her forehead against the ground, bowing to Helian Jue, ”Your Majesty, it was Yi Jiazi who asked me out, and it was she who jumped into the water.”

Helian Jue squinted his long and narrow eyes, ”You mean that Yi Jiazi asked you to the lotus pond then jumped into the water herself? It is none of your business?”

Instantly he said in a cold voice, sneering, ”Hm, Yue Ji. I thought you could at most lord over the imperial concubines. How dare you kill people in the imperial harem! I favored you so much before, not expecting that you would be so unappreciative! You dare to frame Yi Jiazi! What on earth is your purpose?”

As Helian Jue said his last words gnashing his teeth, Tang Xia frowned her eyebrows tightly, ”What I said is true. You can investigate it thoroughly if you don't believe me, Your Majesty!”

Helian Jue flared out, with his blue veins on his forehead protruding out, ”How should I investigate it thoroughly? After Yi Jiazi fell into the water, Xiao Yuzi said it was you who did not let him rescue her! Even Shun Decai could prove that! You are still lying to me now! If Yi Jiazi wanted to frame you, why bother losing her life! Yue Ji, you truly let me down!”

”You only believe what you see and hear, Your Majesty. Now that Yi Jiazi is dead, do you want to force me to die, too?”

Helian Jue said in a chilly voice with coldness in his eyes, ”Are you threatening me?”

”I did not mean that.” Tang Xia remained silent for a while, then turned around, ”Xiao Yuzi, I did command you to rescue Yi Jiazi beside the lotus pond, why did you frame me? It was you who told me that Yi Jiazi asked me to the lotus pond, why won't you admit that?”

”Enough!” Helian Jue waved his sleeves in a passion, ”You are still lying in this situation! Take Yue Ji to Jiaofang hall. Without my permission, she is not allowed to go out and all the imperial concubines are forbidden to make contact with her!”

Shun Decai lowered his body, then took Tang Xia away quickly. Tang Xia knew exactly the present situation, leaving her sleeves swaying in the air.

News that Tang Xia was banished to the cold palace was spread around quickly among the imperial harem, Tang Xia was reading the messages on the bullet screen leisurely in Jiaofang hall.

[Fans] Mountain Snow: Don't be sad, anchor. Even if Helian Jue does not believe you, we believe you.

[Fans] Don't Care About Where Heroes Are From: Lol, I can't believe that you were framed, anchor. Yi Jiazi who was transformed became the best of the best so that she could lose her life to defeat you. I guess conquering you is her task. Lol

[Fans] Purple Years: Anchor, let me tell you a joke. Yi Jiazi's families are all Yijiazi (coat hanger)!

[Visitor] Alibaba: So cold... (sad face) Anchor was not chilled by Helian Jue's heartlessness, but froze from your cold joke.

[Fans] Purple Years: Oh right, anchor's appearance is truly frozen.

[Visitor] Alibaba: It is because of your low-speed network.

Tang Xia bent her eyes with a glimmer of a smile in her beautiful eyes.

After one day, Tang Xia relaxed leisurely, not worrying about eating or drinking in the Jiaofang hall. Then Anran held a delicate hamper and covered the gold table with pastries.

”It's time to eat, Your Grace.”

Tang Xia rose then sat on the chair, ”Why are they all pastries?”

”... His Majesty has banned us from going out and no one dares to deliver food materials to us. So I have to make some pastries for you with the previous materials. I hope you will enjoy them, Your Grace.”

Tang Xia froze for a moment and understood what she meant immediately, then she waved her sleeves at the sight of Anran lowering her head, ”It is not a big deal. We just cannot have a meal for the moment. I can take this opportunity to taste your cooking.”

Tang Xia smiled, hinting Anran to sit with her.

”As you have been framed this time, have you ever thought how you will deal with it, Your Grace?” Anran hesitated for a moment then said her worries.

Tang Xia got one bite of the delicate pastry then raised her eyebrows, ”Do you believe me?”

Anran lowered her eyebrows. ”As your slave girl, I surely believe you, Your Grace...”

After hesitating for a while, Anran closed her cherry lips then said, ”Not only do I believe you, but also Lyuyou... believes you, Your Grace.”
