The night gradually fell, the dark blue sky was dotted with a few stars, flashing faint light, the breeze was gently blowing, the dress flew up, Xu Chengjun slowly walked towards a palace maid's room, just arrived at the door, she was about to raise her hand to push the door, but she heard the man's voice, or rather, the voice of the waiter.

"You, don't be so nervous, I won't eat you-"

In the room, a waiter who looked to be in his forties and should be a housekeeper sat there steadily, trembling at his feet and lying down a young palace maid, who smiled kindly, looking at the person in front of him quite gently, but his feet were stretched out unhurriedly, hooking the jaw of the little palace maid with the tip of his shoe, and softly forcing the person under his feet to look at him.

As soon as she raised her head, Xiao Gong'e's body trembled even more, her face was filled with tears, and her appearance of pear blossoms and rain made people more and more pitiful, and the waiter couldn't help but shake his head and "tsk" twice, and then withdrew his feet without care, and then put his right hand on his leg, leaned forward slightly, and was a little closer to the little Gong'e, which caused the little Gong'e to want to retreat in fear, but he didn't dare to retreat easily.

The waiter saw that his eyes were slightly cold, but his smile was undiminished, and he comforted him unhurriedly: "Xingchun, these days when you entered the palace, I have taken care of you a lot, and you have to learn to repay your kindness, and if you can get into my eyes, it is also your blessing, if you don't know the proportions, I am afraid that you will not be able to enjoy this blessing." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Gong'e's face turned pale with fright, her body almost froze there, she didn't dare to move anymore, and she seemed to have forgotten to cry.

The waiter smiled and snorted lightly, left the seat leisurely, and slowly stepped down, in the eyes of Xiao Gong'e, but it was like a ghost who was forced to come, seeing the scared appearance of Xiao Gong'e in front of him, the waiter walked up slowly, squatted down unhurriedly, and his right hand seemed to gently brush the girl's jaw, but in fact it was tightly knocked, making people unable to move.

"Don't worry, if you follow me in the future, your life is only better, no worse, if anyone dares to bully you, I will skin them, as long as you can serve me well, naturally you will not be treated badly, in the future, when you come to the age, if I am happy, with a stroke of the pen, it is not impossible to let you out of the palace, and then you can reunite with your family? ”

The little palace lady listened to these seemingly gentle words of comfort, but she knew the darkness and fear inside, the inner servant in front of her was notoriously sadistic, if she really did the right food, I was afraid that she would not be able to wait for the day when she left the palace.

"Father-in-law Ming, you let go of the slave maid, slave maid-"

Before the words were finished, the girl screamed out because of the pain, and the waiter almost used his strength at the same time, and the force pinched into the bones fiercely, almost dislocating the girl's jaw, looking at the girl's sobbing and biting her lip and not daring to make a sound, the coldness in the waiter's eyes was even worse, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Good girl, don't toast and don't eat and drink, don't forget, your life is in my hands." ”

As soon as he said that, the waiter shook his hand and threw the girl to the ground, his eyes were full of murderous intent, looking at the girl's shrunken and trembling appearance, the two attendants around him smiled mockingly, but they watched coldly, not only did not plead, but said: "Being able to serve Father-in-law Ming, that is the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, and you still climbed down the pole - phew." ”

Saying that, the little chamberlain spat violently, and then continued: "Don't look at how many catties and taels you have, what kind of chaste martyr you are there." ”

The person known as Ming Gonggong benefited from hearing this, and sat back unhurriedly, the two attendants immediately stepped forward to pinch their shoulders, beat their legs, and their eyebrows were actually piled up with a flattering smile, and the little Gong'e shook her body in fear, after all, she stepped forward and begged to pull the corners of Ming's robe and said: "Ming's father-in-law, the slave is wrong, the slave is not worthy of serving you, please let the slave and the maid go, the slave and the maid kowtow to you-"

As soon as the words fell, the little Gong'e trembled and kowtowed, tears mixed with the blood that gradually knocked out of her forehead, mixed with dust and became embarrassed and pitiful, but the Ming father-in-law was like looking at a dispensable grass, the smile gradually condensed, grabbed the girl's hair violently, and pulled it back, the girl cried bitterly, but she was not moved at all, but forced the girl to look at herself.

"If you don't want to, I'll fulfill you—"

Seeing a glimmer of hope and expectation in the girl's eyes, Father-in-law Ming spit out a sentence with a gloomy smile.

"Then you go and die. ”

The voice was soft and slow, but it made the girl completely freeze there, her face white without a trace of blood, like a doll that had been drained of her soul.

"Squeak-"

When the two attendants around him sneered and sneered, the door was suddenly opened slowly, and the Ming Gonggong looked up hesitantly, but he saw the woman in the female official uniform standing at the door from the moonlight, when he was slightly stunned, carefully, he saw that the person in front of him was actually the granddaughter of the old Xu Ge in the past, and the current Xu Nushi.

"It turned out to be Xu Nushi, what kind of wind actually blew you here-"

As soon as the words fell, the Ming father-in-law lazily let go, and the girl was thrown at her feet, but the Ming father-in-law didn't look at it, so he stood up and smiled.

Xu Chengjun didn't look at the Ming father-in-law, so he stepped forward and squatted beside Xiao Gong'e, helped the person up carefully, and asked softly, "Chun'er, how are you?"

As soon as Xingchun saw the girl in front of her, she immediately saw a god, hugged the person in front of her, and sobbed softly, and she really didn't dare to say a word.

Xu Chengjun didn't say anything more, turned to look at Gonggong Ming on the side, and then coldly glanced at the two little attendants beside him, and said unhurriedly: "Father-in-law Lao Ming's face is so important to my sister-"

Hearing this, Gonggong Ming frowned slightly, but Xu Chengjun didn't see it.

"It's just my sister's thing, I've always been in charge, Chun'er is still young, and I don't understand the rules, I'm afraid that I can't afford my father-in-law's dependence, and I will live up to your heart, and my father-in-law will be considerate when I want to come." ”

When his eyes fell on Xingchun in Xu Chengjun's arms, the girl's body trembled again and again, but he didn't care.

"I didn't expect that our Xingchun actually has a sister like Xu Nushi, but it is really enviable, since Xu Nushi said this, how can I do that indistinguishable person, today's matter, it's just that, others can not give face, but Xu Nushi's, I can't not give it. ”

Hearing Gonggong Ming's words, Xu Chengjun bowed his head indifferently, and responded politely, and Gonggong Ming immediately got up, without seeing a trace of anger, and said: "Then, I won't disturb Xu Nushi's sisters." ”

As soon as the words fell, the father-in-law raised his feet and left, and the two chamberlains were stunned, and they didn't expect it to end like this, and couldn't help blurting out: "Father-in-law, this-"

Father-in-law Ming walked out of the room with a smile, but his eyes gradually turned into a chill, and the corners of his lips opened unhurriedly: "People are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, when the feng shui turns in the future, I don't know who to ration, when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not have time to care about others, seriously, I still think that I am the former Miss Gaomen, our family will wait, wait for that day——"

Although the voice was low, the threat in that voice was completely into Xu Chengjun's ears, Xu Chengjun's hand was slightly clenched, his face became pale, and his back was cold.

The silence outside the door gradually fell, and when Xingchun saw that there was no one, her tear-stained little face said cautiously: "It's all because of the slave maid that my sister is affected." ”

Xu Chengjun smiled reluctantly and said, "It's nothing." ”

Saying that, Xu Chengjun comforted: "I came today to thank you for the pair of embroidered shoes you made for me, I tried it, and it was very suitable." ”

Xingchun was originally simple-minded, but when she heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "It's just suitable, I'll make another pair for my sister in a few days." ”

Xu Chengjun smiled and didn't speak, but in his heart he remembered the words of Father-in-law Ming.

The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and now she reluctantly entered the eyes of the emperor because of that good hand, and became a female official, but after all, she was just a slave, and she could only be the chess piece in the hands of others, and she didn't even control the future of life and death.

She had to get out of this situation, or she wouldn't dare to imagine the days ahead.

And the biggest key to getting out of this situation is only one person.

That's the emperor.

Xu Chengjun's hands clenched tighter and tighter, and his eyes revealed more and more determination and certainty.
