Chapter 42 Punishment
The closer she got to the Huanyi Bureau, the more strange Xilan felt.There are often people walking around the gate of the backyard. Why is there no one today?
In any case, the Huanyi Bureau had to go back, so Xilan could only bite the bullet, move slowly, and lean forward.

After entering the backyard, Xilan felt that something was wrong. The whole backyard was empty and there was no one there.The laundry basins were randomly placed on the ground. It could be seen that everyone left in a hurry, or just left temporarily.

Walking through the backyard, Xilan walked to her usual living place, but still didn't find anyone, "Strange, where did everyone go?"

When she was about to open the door to have a look, two patrolling eunuchs happened to pass by.The two couldn't help but arrest Xilan and escort her to the front yard.

At this time, in the front yard of the Huanyi Bureau, the new steward, Nanny Wang, listened to the number of people reported by Yan'er with a gloomy face.

71 people, one less!
"The other yards are full of people, so why is there one missing in the yard you manage?" Madam Wang's dark voice reached Yan'er's ears, and to her, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"What's the name of the lesser one?"

"Grandma, her name is Xilan." Hearing Yan'er announce Xilan's name, Ah Jia said inwardly, 'This is over'.

Caiwei was also very anxious, "Is she really going to Bailuxuan? Why hasn't she come back after a night?"

"We agreed last night that I will go to the Imperial Kitchen, and she will go to Bailuxuan. Xilan has no acquaintances in the palace. If she said to go to Bailuxuan, then she must go to Bailuxuan." Ah Jia also looked anxious, " Could it be that he was caught by patrolling guards?"

Just as the two were guessing wildly, there was a sudden commotion from behind the crowd.I saw two eunuchs grabbing a person and walking to Wang Momo, "Mom, this person just sneaked in from the backyard."

All eyes were on the man who was arrested, Ajia and Caiwei were no exception.But when they saw the man's face clearly, the two couldn't help whispering at the same time, "Xilan?!"

"What's your name?" Wang Momo walked up to Xilan and asked coldly.

"Hui, Hui nanny, servant girl Xilan." Xilan's voice trembled a little.It was really unlucky for her to go to Bailuxuan to steal cherry blossoms and meet the emperor.Frightened all night, I finally returned to the Clothes Bureau, and met Wang Momo to check the number of people.

"Xilan? You are so brave!" Wang Momo yelled sharply, "Don't you know that you can't run around in the palace at night? You didn't come back all night! Tell me, where did you go last night?!"

"I..." Faced with Wang Nanny's questioning, Xilan didn't know how to answer for a moment.What happened yesterday, Ling Zimo told him that he must not say anything about it.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Seeing that Xilan hadn't answered for a long time, Wang Momo became even angrier, "Could it be that you still went to do something shameful? There was a thief in the palace last night, could it be you?"

Xilan remained silent, she really couldn't say what happened yesterday.

"Okay! Okay! Don't tell me, right?" Wang Momo was so angry that this girl not only violated the palace rules, but also refused to answer her questions. "Then you go to the door and kneel. When you want to talk, when will you get up again." After speaking, he pointed to a eunuch to supervise and left angrily.

Xilan silently walked to the flat ground at the door and was about to kneel down, but the eunuch sent by Grandma Wang sneered and threw an iron chain in front of her, "Mammy told you to kneel, this is it."
