Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all said they didn't know.

Xiaoxia continued, "The most vicious punishment in the world is not to punish the prisoner himself, but to watch the people close to him suffer. In order to set an example, I exempted Cuixi from the punishment of sitting on the Trojan horse, and watched Cuixi give birth to the child. If it's a man, cut off the male roots and be a slave in the palace for the rest of his life, and if it's a woman, send it to the quarry, what do you think?"

"Quarry?" everyone shuddered when they heard this.

The quarry was full of serious offenders, and the women who entered the quarry had only one fate, and that was to become a female slave.

Everyone turned their eyes to Cui Xi who was kneeling on the ground, Cui Xi brushed her hair, since the overall situation was certain, she was very calm.

"Niangniang's insight is really extraordinary, such a punishment can only be imagined by Niangniang, Cuixi should not hesitate to make a thousand mistakes, she should have sought death on the day of the secret knot of the pearl fetus, and naturally there will be no ending today!"

Xiaoxia smiled: "Cuixi, you don't have to hold a grudge against this palace, this palace will save you from death, and when you finish giving birth, you will stay in the palace to accompany Xu Zhonghou." Since I have already dealt a cruel hand to your child, I will naturally not treat you badly. Besides, if you are lucky enough to have a man, your family of three will stay in the palace and serve together, you must know that with your status and status, if Xu Zhonghou leaves the palace, you will not be able to marry into the Xu family, right?"

Cui Xi smiled miserably: "So I have to thank Niangniang!"

Xiaoxia waved her hand: "Take it down!"

Xu Mingyuan and Cuiyu knew that it was their turn now.

"At noon tomorrow, inform all the palace people to gather in the lakeside pavilion, and the palace wants everyone to see how Xu Mingyuan has no hands!

The crowd got the order and pulled the two out. Cuiyu was frightened by Xiaoxia's punishment of Cuixi just now, and even forgot to beg for mercy, but Xu Mingyuan kept shouting "Niangniang mercy, Niangniang mercy"!

Everyone is gone, and there are only six ladies and Xiaoxia sitting there, and the six ladies don't dare to move without Xiaoxia's order.

The six ladies were all stupefied by the most vicious punishment of the time that Xiaoxia had just said, especially Qi Man, who felt a chill run down her back when she thought of her father and younger brother.

If she commits a crime one day, Xiaoxia wants to punish her family, then she can't stand it, it's even more uncomfortable than killing herself!

"You have all seen that there are many people in the palace and there are many things. The most important thing for a few sisters is to take care of their own people, and the matter of jade has long been known, and it cannot be regarded as Jingshu's lack of discipline. Speaking of this, Xiaoxia glanced at Jing Shu and continued, "But as the master, he actually knows nothing about what his own people are doing, and the other sisters find out, that is, he has neglected it." ”

Jing Shu whispered: "What Niang Niang taught me is that Jing Shu knows that she is wrong. ”

"The palace people in the palace need to replace a batch, and the manpower will be redistributed at that time, and before the new palace people make up for it, Jingshu's sister will ask Mama to find someone to replace the affairs in the palace. ”

Xiaoxia looked around, and finally stopped her gaze on Qi Man's face: "Sister Qi Man, I advise you to think twice about everything, don't just do things impulsively based on personal preferences, and think more about your family, understand?"

Qi Man originally thought that she would be scolded by the queen mother, but she didn't expect Xiaoxia to just say something like this, and her tense nerves relaxed.

Xiaoxia stood up and said, "Let's all disperse", and then left with Cuihu.

Jing Shu followed Xiaoxia away, Gong Xue and Zhen and Luo Ling also left, leaving only Qi Man and Qian Lan sitting there without moving.

Qianlan peeked at Qi Man, she knew that Qi Man had just been told by the queen, and she didn't know if she would lose her temper, whether she would take a step first or wait until she finished losing her temper before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Qi Man didn't mean to lose her temper at all after being reprimanded, she was frightened by Xiaoxia's ruthlessness in dealing with Cui Xi and Xu Zhonghou just now.

Her head is now "buzzing", and her head is full of the phrase "the people around her are suffering".

Qianlan moved her lips and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"

Qi Man glanced up at Qian Lan, didn't shake her head or nod, just sighed deeply.

Seeing that Qi Man didn't pay attention to her, Qianlan also stood up and left with interest.

On the way back, Qianlan carefully sorted out what had just happened.

She originally wanted to use the affair between Cuiyu and Xu Mingyuan to pull Jingshu into the water, but this purpose was obviously not achieved.

According to the meaning of the queen's mother, Cuiyu and Xu Mingyuan began to contact before Jingshu entered the palace, so Jingshu can only be regarded as negligence at best, and cannot be regarded as a lack of discipline.

She pouted her cheeks, thinking about her next step, since she couldn't move Jingshu, should she move the others?

After all, after this incident, Jing Shu should be much worse in front of the queen.

Qi Man has always been flying and domineering, and it is impossible for the queen mother to look down on her. Then he is left with three competitors: Gong Xue, Zhen Zhen and Luo Ling.

Gong Xue is deeply hidden, I am afraid that it will take a little effort to move her, Luo Ling is just a child who can't do it so quickly, so the only thing that needs to be moved is Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen is proud of her beauty, and if she wants to kill her, she has to start with her beauty, how to start? Qian Lan thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but think about it.

While Qianlan was planning to kill people, Lord Qian and Cui Zhouping's spies hurriedly reported what happened in the palace today to their respective masters.

Lord Qian and Cui Zhouping both told their respective spies not to contact each other recently, so as not to be discovered, after all, they live in the palace now, and the place is small and easy to show their feet.

Xiaoxia had already discovered the affairs of these flies and dogs in the palace, and the main reason why she didn't say anything was because she didn't want to startle the snakes, after all, her main purpose was to find out the spies.

But now Qi Man and Qian Lan suddenly caught Cuiyu and Xu Mingyuan, making Xiaoxia have to act, which will definitely have an impact on her work to find a spy.

Xiaoxia is also thinking about the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for Qi Man to do the matter of catching Cuiyu and Xu Mingyuan. Qiman is just a kid who wants more sugar, and she's doing it just to improve her status in the palace at best.

The initiator of the whole thing should be Qianlan, if this is really the case, then Qianlan's suspicion can be lifted, after all, as a spy, she is too high-profile to do this.

Among the six ladies, Qi Man's personality will only be bad, and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities, but now it is not absolutely certain that Qi Man is not a spy.

Qian Lan took the lead in the palace to attack the other sisters like this, it really showed that she was running for the position of the queen, and a woman with such a high goal disdained to be subservient, even if she looked cautious and followed behind Qi Man now, this was just her strategy to keep her head down.
