380 Rods to death
When the eldest princess An Yue came out of the palace, her face was indifferent and a little scary.
The county lord of Zhaoping sat opposite her, with a small face and a pale face, facing the eldest princess of Anyue, who was cold and cold, but did not scold her angrily as before, her whole body tensed, and her heart was full of uneasiness.
She thought about the previous events carefully, but she didn't know how things had developed to such a point, and she didn't understand why Princess An Yue was so angry.
Even if she really put King Xiang's "complaint" into the prison, even if she made the emperor's uncle angry, but so what, King Xiang didn't have anything to do with them, even if he really couldn't get out, even if the emperor's uncle really disposed of him, what did it have to do with the eldest princess's mansion?
The county lord of Zhaoping didn't know that she had ruined the matter of the eldest princess An Yue, and even now she didn't know what her mother was angry about.
The carriage stopped in front of the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess An Yue led Zhaoping into the mansion gate, and when she walked into the inner hall, there were no outsiders around, and the eldest princess An Yue looked back at Zhao Ping for a while, and when she looked at her heartlessly, she suddenly said: "Who is serving the county lord tonight?"
Yu'er and the two maids stepped forward with some trepidation.
The eldest princess of An Yue glanced at the three of them and said, "When the county lord is arguing with others, are you there?"
Yu'er whispered in fear: "Eldest princess, the slave maid knows that she is wrong, it is the slave maid who did not stop the county master, and the slave and maid will definitely admonish the county lord next time......"
"Alright. ”
The eldest princess of An Yue didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said directly in a cold voice: "Since you know your mistake, come here, pull the three of them down and kill them with a cane." ”
Yu'er's eyes widened violently, the blood on her face disappeared cleanly, and the two maids next to her were so frightened that they knelt on the ground as soon as their knees weakened, and kowtowed again and again: "The eldest princess spares her life, the eldest princess spares her life......"
"Mother?!"
Seeing that the eldest princess of An Yue actually asked the girl beside her to be caned, the county lord of Zhaoping said urgently: "Mother, they are all my maids, what did they do wrong, you want to kill them with a cane?!"
While speaking, seeing that the people around the eldest princess had already gone to pull the three of Yu'er, the county lord of Zhaoping hurriedly pushed one of them away, blocked in front of Yu'er and said angrily: "You all stop me, don't touch them, if any of you dare to touch Yu'er, this county will take your life......"
"Smack!"
Before Zhaoping's words were finished, he had already been slapped in the face, and he was directly hit in the face.
"Did this palace tell you that you are not allowed to leave the house tonight?"
"Has this palace told you that these days for this palace to keep to their own stay in the house, and they are not allowed to go out to cause trouble?!"
The eldest princess of Anyue looked at the county lord of Zhaoping with a frosty face, and after the words in her mouth were finished, she said sharply to the people beside her: "Mama Qi, open the county lord to the palace, and let the three of them be killed with a cane, right here, in front of the county lord, beat the palace!"
Mama Qi is the personal grandmother of the eldest princess of Anyue, since the eldest princess of Anyue was still a princess, she has been by her side until today, accompanied the eldest princess to get married, and accompanied her for decades, although she still doesn't know what happened in the palace today, but she can see that the eldest princess is really angry.
She hurriedly turned her head and asked the two maids beside her to sign it, grabbed the county lord of Zhaoping and pulled her away, and then the guards outside the door rushed in directly, holding sticks in their hands, and hit the three of Yu'er without saying anything.
Yu'er has been by Zhaoping's side since she was a child, although she is a maid, but she is more delicate than the ordinary lady of a rich family, and at this time she was beaten and suddenly shouted: "Ah... Eldest princess, eldest princess spares ......"
"Slave... The slave and maid knew that they were wrong, and begged the eldest princess to spare the slave and maid...... spare the slave and maid..."
"The slave doesn't dare anymore..."
"The eldest princess spares ...... life"
The whole hall was full of the screams of the three people, and the sound of the sticks falling on the three people was urgent and heavy, but a dozen sticks came down, and the three of them were beaten to the flesh, and Yu'er only felt that the muscles and bones seemed to be broken, her eyes were blurred, her face was mixed with tears and blood, and she desperately stretched out her hand towards the county lord of Zhaoping.
"The county lord... County... Lord, save the slaves and maids......"
"The county... Host... Help me......"
"Yu'er, Yu'er, let go of her, you let go of her, stop fighting!!"
The county lord of Zhaoping was full of red eyes, desperately struggling to get over, but his hands were grabbed by someone, and the whole person couldn't break free at all, she cried with red eyes: "Mother, mother, I know it's wrong, you let Yu'er go, let her go." ”
"I won't come nonsense in the future, I don't dare to cause trouble anymore, mother, you let her go, I beg you to let her go..."
The county lord of Zhaoping cried loudly, but the eldest princess of Anyue was not moved at all, in her eyes, Yu'er was just a slave, a person who could let her decide life and death at will, she just stood there, watching the three of Yu'er from the beginning of the miserable screams, to the later dying, and then to the stick when the stick was added, she opened her mouth wide and stared at her eyes and couldn't scream anymore, and her face was full of despair and collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Yu'er!!"
Zhaoping looked at Yu'er and looked at her blindly, lying on the ground and being beaten into a bloody person, the skin on her back was open, she could hardly see a piece of good meat, and one hand was desperately stretched out towards her, as if she wanted to ask her to save her.
Her eyes were wide, her face and mouth were covered with blood, and the pungent bloody breath almost enveloped Zhaoping's entire person, and the ground in front of her was red, which made her know for the first time that the color of this blood was so dazzling, and for the first time, she also found out for the first time that the scene of a dead person would be so terrifying.
The county lord of Zhaoping was weak, the whole person slipped and fell to the ground, her face was full of tears, she looked up at the eldest princess of An Yue and hissed: "Why? Why did you kill Yu'er, what did she do wrong?"
Hearing this, the eldest princess of An Yue said with a cold face: "She didn't do anything wrong, but as a maidservant, she doesn't know how to stop her master, she doesn't know how to share her worries for her master, and she also sees her master in trouble, this is wrong." ”
"Since she can't serve you well, then there is naturally no need for Hongu to keep her anymore. ”
The county lord of Zhaoping raised his head in disbelief, looking at the indifferent look on the eldest princess's face, the tears in his eyes seemed to have broken the embankment, and he cried so much that his voice was hoarse: "Why, why..."
"I secretly left the mansion, and I also wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor's uncle... Yu'er, she didn't know anything...... It's all me..."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of An Yue said coldly: "You are my daughter, even if you do something wrong, I am reluctant to kill you, so naturally someone has to suffer for you, you are the master, she is a slave, this is her life." ”
"If she were the master and you were a minion, she would be able to sit here in peace, instead of being burdened by you and dying. ”
The county lord of Zhaoping clenched his teeth and looked at the eldest princess of An Yue.
Seeing this, the eldest princess of An Yue flashed anger in her eyes, and suddenly stepped forward and walked in front of Zhaoping, leaned down and said coldly: "You hate this palace?"
She reached out and grabbed Zhaoping's chin, her gaze as sharp as a blade.
The resentment that had just risen in Zhaoping's heart dissipated cleanly, and his eyes didn't dare to look at her.
The eldest princess of An Yue looked at the frightened county lord of Zhaoping, let go of her hand, directly shook off her chin, and said coldly: "What qualifications do you have to hate this palace?"
"Your respect, your wealth, your arrogance, and even your wanton capital are all because you are the daughter of the palace and the county lord of the Great Yan Dynasty. You can stay here, let people die instead of you, let people atone for what you have done, and even someone bear for your mistakes, it is also because this palace remembers the blood love between you and me, otherwise do you think that if you are someone else, after tonight's events, this palace can still let her live peacefully?"
"Let her use this resentful eyes and full of resentment to see me, the mother who brought her everything and protected her?!"
Zhao Ping shuddered violently, and his lips turned white.
Princess An Yue stood up straight: "You think you are wronged, you think they are innocent, but do you know how much trouble you broke me tonight, and you know how much trouble you caused me." This palace just killed your maid with a cane, what are you not satisfied with?"
"This palace has worked hard and laid out for a long time, and it was not easy to get what is happening today, but because of you idiot, my layout for many days has finally become a flowing water, and so many years of forbearance have turned into nothingness, your emperor's uncle is suspicious of me because of this matter, and the prince of Zhenyuan and Shao Jin have become a scourge instead of conspiring, do you think this county lord can still sit safely?"
"If you weren't my daughter, if you didn't have my blood in your veins, I wish I could strangle you with my own hands!"
Thinking of what happened in the palace before, Princess An Yue's eyes were full of anger.
Emperor Yongzhen had clearly moved his mind to deal with Shao Jin and Liao Chuxiu before, as long as it could go smoothly, she would definitely be able to instigate Emperor Yongzhen to take off the positions of those two, and even let Lu Xiao replace them, as long as the palace ban and city defense fell into their hands, no matter what they wanted to do in the future, they would get twice the result with half the effort.
But it was because of Zhaoping, because of her brainless nonsense, and because of her words in the palace that everything was disrupted, and things that were originally smooth became complicated, not only did not calculate Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin, but even involved King Xiang and the Wen family!
Shao Jin and Liao Chuxiu are safe and sound, they will definitely hate her and take revenge on her, and King Xiang is imprisoned because of Zhaoping, if he is disposed of, it will be fine, but if he can break free from prison and escape, he will definitely hate their mother and daughter to the bone.
What's more, there is also the Wen family......
That Wen family!
An Yue still remembered the extraordinarily cold look in Emperor Yongzhen's eyes when he looked at her when he was in the Dragon Terrace, and even remembered the words in his mouth that were almost grounded in disguise.
Her younger brother no longer trusts her.
Zhaoping was shocked by the lust in the eyes of the eldest princess An Yue, and was even more frightened by her words.
She is used to being arrogant, but that's because she knows that she is the daughter of the eldest princess, and she knows that the eldest princess will protect her, but she didn't expect that one day, her mother would kill her.
After all, the county lord of Zhaoping is just a seventeen-year-old woman, after all the arrogance is replaced by fear, the rest is full of uneasiness, Zhaoping reached out and grabbed the skirt of the eldest princess Anyue, and said while crying: "Mother, I was wrong... I know wrong... I don't dare anymore......"
The eldest princess of An Yue looked at Zhaoping deeply, looking at her extremely embarrassed face that was somewhat similar to her, she finally held back her killing intent, and just said: "What happened tonight, you tell me from beginning to end." ”
"How did you meet that Feng Yan, how did you have a conflict with King Xiang, and that Feng Qiao... You tell me carefully, don't miss the slightest detail!"
She is familiar with Zhaoping's temperament, when she was in the palace before, although Zhaoping said the truth, but she must still have something to hide, at least she must have hidden things that are not good for herself, but tonight's events are too coincidental, and the coincidence makes people not believe it at all, this is really just an accident.
The timing of Zhao Ping's election was so accurate, if she could be half an hour at night, everything would be different.
After the county lord of Zhaoping was frightened, his heart had already broken a little, listening to the words of the eldest princess An Yue, he didn't dare to hide it at all, and told her how she went to see the Gu family, and how she deliberately troubled Feng Yan, including everything that happened later.
The eldest princess of Anyue listened to Zhaoping going to Gu's house, and her request for marriage was refused, and it was just because of a close brocade handkerchief of Gu Xu that she made a fuss about this later incident, and the green tendons on her forehead were rising, and this time she really wanted to strangle Zhaoping.
How could she give birth to such an idiot!
After waiting for the finished speaking, the county lord of Zhaoping knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Mother, I didn't know that it would cause such a big trouble, I didn't know that the emperor's uncle would be so angry, I didn't know..."
"I don't know, I don't know, what else can you say besides saying you don't know?!"
The eldest princess of An Yue looked at Zhaoping's appearance, and for the first time wondered how wrong she was for raising her to such a look over the years, she almost gritted her teeth and said: "From today on, you will stay in the mansion for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”
After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at the person next to her and said, "Mama Qi, let people look at Zhaoping, if she dares to take half a step out of the mansion, break her leg for me!"
Zhaoping was so frightened that she almost fainted, and Princess Anyue was really angry with her, afraid that she couldn't help but strangle this idiot, so she directly let Zhaoping go down.
After this Zhaoping left, the eldest princess of An Yue smashed the things on the table, so angry that her chest continued to rise and fall, and her face was blue.
The wound on her left arm cracked open, and the cloth that had tied the wound was soaked with blood.
Mama Qi hurriedly said, "Princess, be careful of your wounds..."
At this time, the eldest princess of An Yue still had the heart to care about the wound on her left arm, she was just full of Zhao Fangcai's words.
When facing the closest grandmother, the eldest princess of An Yue completely broke out, and said angrily: "How could this palace give birth to such a fool, something that is not enough to achieve and more than to fail!"
