"Who can't tell the difference between bitter tea and herbal tea?!"

The three shook their heads desperately.Shu Wei and the others should have known how insidious Xiao Mingle was, and they were fooled by her.

Li Yuan also stepped forward, taught them a cold lesson, and then asked Xiao Mingle how to deal with them. "Do you think they should be punished with eighty lashes each, or a hundred lashes?"

"Ah? Don't you need to be so heavy? Second senior brother, please speak up if you have something to say. We did this to help you, and we wanted to help you!" Cao Youbo hurriedly begged for mercy, and the other two nodded.

"Then we won't fight, you can choose whether to divide the body by five horses or execute Ling Chi?" Li Yuanyi snorted coldly. Cao Youbo's words made him feel very shameless in front of Xiao Mingle.

"Empress, empress, please forgive me..." I beg the emperor, otherwise I beg the empress. "My lady..."

Xiao Mingle pulled Li Yuanyi to intercede for them. "They have been with you for so many years, and they have worked hard without credit. It's better to spare their lives and punish them!"

The three nodded vigorously.

"Then how do you want to punish them?" Li Yuanyi looked at Xiao Mingle, and just by looking at her smile, he knew that she must have thought of something.

"Hmm..." Xiao Mingle stroked his chin and thought. "Send them to do social service orders!"

"Huh? What's that?" Li Yuanyi looked at her with interest.

Xiao Mingle looked at the three people standing in a row in front of him, and pointed at them with three commands. "Go to chop firewood, carry water and sweep the streets, Wuchang will do good deeds for our county people!"

"Ah, isn't it?" Mi Rui yelled the loudest.

"Your Majesty, no matter what we say, we are also people close to the Emperor!" Qu Zi felt that it would be embarrassing to do such a thing.

"That's it, then listen to the emperor..."

"No, no, I like doing things for the common people very much. I'll fetch water!" Cao Youbo raised his hand and said.

Although Qu Zihe was reluctant, he also said to chop firewood.It's better than sweeping the street for everyone to see.

Xiao Mingle nodded in satisfaction. "Nanxiang in Fulu County is a poor area. Most of the people living there are widowed elderly and orphans without parents. Go there and serve the people!"

"Ma'am." Mi Rui said softly. "Mi Rui is not as strong as their martial arts practitioners who can chop wood and carry water. Mi Rui has no strength to restrain a chicken. Master Bai is doing the sweeping of the streets. Madam, it is not as good as me..."

"Then you will wash and cook for everyone and pour Yexiang!"

"what?!"

"Don't leave yet, do you want to get hurt?!" Li Yuanyi glanced coldly, Mi Rui shut up, and the three of them fled immediately.

Xiao Mingle looked at the three people running away in a hurry, laughed and fell into Li Yuanyi's arms.

"Only you can come up with this kind of crazy idea!" Li Yuanyi pampered her little pink nose.

Xiao Mingle stood still and looked Li Yuan up and down. "You keep saying, you really didn't know they put chili peppers in your bitter tea?"

"Of course I don't know. I know how to drink?" Li Yuanyi took her hand and said with a smile. "But if I knew this method was useful, I would have eaten chili by myself, and I wouldn't wait until now!"

Xiao Mingle beat him angrily. "No nonsense!"

"It's time for you to take your medicine!" The servant girl brought the medicine over, Xiao Mingle took it and handed him the medicine bowl. "I'll go back to the county office after you take the medicine!"

"You want to go back?" Li Yuanyi was unhappy when he heard that, but he was very good this time, and finished the bowl of medicine Yinsheng in one go.

"I have to go back and explain to everyone, right? I've been with them for so long, and everyone treats me very well!" Now that she has decided to be with him, she always has to go back and explain to everyone.

"I'll go with you!" He was worried that she would go back alone, and he didn't want to be separated from her for a moment.

"You want to go with me?" Xiao Mingle pointed to her face with his finger.

Thinking of the rash on his face, he immediately darkened his face in annoyance. "It's getting dark, I don't worry if you go alone!"

"There's nothing to worry about. It's not like there are scourges living outside. I used to go by myself like this. I'll be back soon, huh?" Xiao Mingle stroked his chest to reassure him.

Li Yuan also frowned, still worried. "I'll send two guards to follow you!"

Xiao Mingle had no choice but to let him go with a sigh.

Hearing that Mi Rui said that Bai Yuexi waited for her at the posthouse last night, and that he left only after people from the county government came to the posthouse in the morning to look for him, Xiao Mingle felt very embarrassed.

Before entering the county office, someone reported to her at the door, saying that Wang Zhiyuan claimed to have obeyed the Queen's order, and went to the prison to demand the release of Jin Da, and now Bai Yuexi and Xu Yan were dealing with him in the prison.

Xiao Mingle frowned.Impossible, Peng Meizhi knew Li Yuanyi was here, how dare she act recklessly on her own?Could it be that Wang Zhiyuan came to ask for someone without telling her?

He didn't come to the county government office this time, but took people directly to the prison, and Xiao Mingle hurried over.

"I obeyed the Queen's order. If you don't release them again, you will all be punished with death!" The people in the prison are all from Bai Yuexi, and they dare not release them without the order of Lord Bai and the Imperial Envoy.Wang Zhiyuan was very angry and threatened them loudly.

"Father, save me, save me..." Jin Da stood in front of the prison door, grasping the iron bars of the prison door weakly, praying continuously.

"Don't be afraid, my son, dad is here to save you!" Wang Zhiyuan walked over to hold his hand and said with a distressed expression.

"Didn't you hear what I said, why don't you let him go?!" Wang Zhiyuan turned his head and gave orders in a cold voice to Bai Yuexi and the jailer guarding the prison.

"Wang Yuanwai!" Bai Yuexi bowed to him. "According to the laws of our dynasty, before Ms. Peng is formally canonized as a queen, she has no right to order the release of criminals!"

"Boldly Bai Yuexi, how dare you disrespect the empress!!" Wang Zhiyuan pointed at him with two fingers angrily. "Come on, catch him with me!!"

"Yes!" The thug guards behind him shouted in unison, and were about to strike.

"I'll see who dares!!" With a majestic voice, Xiao Mingle walked into the prison with his hands behind his back with a cold face.

"You, it's you again!!" Wang Zhiyuan and his son hated Xiao Mingle so much, and now that she appeared to stop her, Wang Zhiyuan swore that he would never let her go.

"Mr. Wang, please be respectful!" Bai Yuexi reminded him unceremoniously.

"I have the queen's decree, how dare you not let me go?!" Wang Zhiyuan still used the decree to scare people.

"Since there is the queen's decree, please take it out, Mr. Wang!" Xiao Mingle stretched out his hand to him.

"You lowly people are not worthy of looking at Yizhi. The empress is noble and holy, how could her Yizhi be defiled by you people?!" Wang Zhiyuan snorted coldly.
