As soon as he said this, the people around him were stunned for a moment..Fastest update access: ΡΡΡ.79XS.ΡΠΞ .
Who is he telling to kneel?
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, the Iron Whip King's family was a little inexplicable, but they all frowned and looked at him silently, Han Ruoshi was still sitting there with wide eyes and a little dazed, Xiaolian behind her stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Childe, who are you letting kneel?"
As she spoke, her eyes were already on Gerdi on the other side.
But at this moment, Pei Yuanxiu said coldly: "You still don't kneel?!"
"Huh?!"
For a moment, Xiaolian was dumbfounded, looking at him with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe her ears, Han Ruoshi couldn't react, looked back at her, and looked at Pei Yuanxiu again, and barely made a little joking smile: "Yuanxiu, you, are you joking with her?"
Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak, and he didn't even slap the whole table with a palm like when the Iron Whip King was angry just now, the hand he put on the table just slowly closed and clenched into a fist, his eyes didn't even look at Han Ruoshi, nor did he look at Xiaolian, he just looked coldly ahead, as cold as frost: "Do you want me to say it again?"
This time, Xiaolian finally sensed that something was wrong.
She was so frightened that she fell to her knees, and looked at Pei Yuanxiu tremblingly: "Childe......?"
It was only at this time that Pei Yuanxiu slowly turned his head and looked at her coldly: "Let me ask you, who are you?"
Xiaolian was stunned.
Han Ruoshi was even more flustered, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Xiu, she is Xiaolian, she has been with me since she was a child, she will definitely not harmββ"
"I'm asking her," Pei Yuanxiu said coldly, without even looking at Han Ruoshi, only at Xiaolian: "Who are you?" β
Xiaolian knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Back to the son's words, slave maid Xiaolian, slave maid has been with the eldest lady since childhood-" Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and hurriedly changed her words: "The one who follows the lady to serve 'serves', the slave and the maid are the lady's personal maids." β
She also understood that changing her words at this time seemed to be wanting to attribute herself to Pei Yuanxiu's people.
But by this time, it was too late.
Pei Yuanxiu nodded, and then said, "Then what is your duty?"
Xiaolian said: "Serve the lady's daily life, but also protect the lady's safety...... Full ......"
At this point, she seemed to realize something, and her throat suddenly stammered.
Pei Yuanxiu nodded and said, "That's right, serve her daily life and protect her safety." Then let me ask you again, did you protect Madame when she was pushed down?"
ββ¦β¦β
"What did you do after Madame fell?"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiaolian froze suddenly.
Pei Yuanxiu said coldly: "You are her personal maid, and you are also the person who is most favored and trusted by her, and she will take you with her at any time." So, this time I went north and took you with me. If she doesn't say anything, you will do it for her, and if she doesn't do it, you will do it for her......
ββ¦β¦β
"If you believe in you so much, why didn't you do what you should have done? Madame was pushed down, and you let someone push Madame down?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Danger is always there, and to keep people like you around is to eliminate it. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But what did you do?"
ββ¦β¦β
"You let someone push your wife down, not only did you not feel the slightest guilt and repentance afterwards, but you also flew around every day and made trouble everywhere. Before we came, you dared to commit a crime and reprimand your second lady to your face, and just now when I was talking to a distinguished guest, you dared to 'interject' in front of me. Who gave you the guts!"
When he said the last sentence, Xiaolian was so frightened that her whole body was paralyzed on the ground, her face was like dirt, tears were about to flow out, and she looked at him in horror: "Childe, I ...... I ......"
Han Ruoshi sat on the side, and when she heard Pei Yuanxiu's words, there was a trace of astonishment in her eyes.
Of course, she didn't know that Xiaolian was guilty of dereliction of duty, but she should never magnify this crime like this at this time, but Pei Yuanxiu interrogated Xiaolian like this in front of the Iron Whip King and the evil Hou Qi, so what he meant-
"You are so incompetent, how can I keep you!"
After Pei Yuanxiu finished speaking, he didn't even look at her anymore, and raised his head: "Someone!"
Immediately, several 'attendants' walked in from outside, and Pei Yuanxiu coldly ordered: "Drag it down, kill it!"
Xiaolian was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, and Han Ruoshi was finally anxious, but she didn't dare to confront Pei Yuanxiu immediately, just saw that a few 'attendants' came in and were about to drag Xiaolian up from the ground, and hurriedly looked back at Pei Yuanxiu: "Yuanxiu, Xiaolian, she-"
"She's at fault, and I'll punish her. β
Pei Yuanxiu interrupted her indifferently and said, "It's also for you to have a 'handover' generation." β
ββ¦β¦β
"In this matter, you have suffered - 'wronged', in the future, I will send reliable people to your side, and you will not suffer such grievances again. β
Seeing that Han Ruoshi still wanted to say something, Pei Yuan cultivated: "As for your lack of strict law-"
Han Ruoshi was stunned for a moment.
Although Pei Yuanxiu just said that she was "wronged", Xiaolian "flew high and made trouble everywhere", it was not Xiaolian's own business, she looked up at Han Zitong, and then looked at me, as if she remembered the incident when Xiaolian was in Yuwen Mansion and wanted to teach me a lesson, worried that we had already told Pei Yuanxiu about it.
Immediately, she didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that he had already settled this matter in three or two sentences, Han Ruoshi's face was as pale as paper, and she turned her head to look at Xiaolian, who had been dragged upside down by several 'attendants' to the entrance of the 'door', at this time Xiaolian was already in tears and snot, and finally felt that her 'life' was about to be lost, so she cried in fright and begged for mercy: "Miss, save me-"
But before he could finish speaking, he was gagged with a ball of cloth.
Suddenly she was also anxious, and struggled hard, but several of the 'attendants' were young and strong young men, who allowed her to break free, and dragged her hands and feet up, like dragging a dead dog, only to hear her being gagged and making a terrible whimper, tears and snot flowed down her face, but it had no effect at all, and no one even spoke at the banquet, and everyone listened to her voice slowly moving away.
Only then did Pei Yuanxiu turn around and glance at the Iron Whip King and his family of three.
"Miss Gerdy. β
Geerdi's eyes kept looking at Xiaolian who was dragged out, and at this time, Pei Yuanxiu suddenly called her, she still couldn't react, and she was stunned for a long time before turning her head: "Huh?"
Pei Yuanxiu said: "This matter, in the final analysis, is a misunderstanding, Ruoshi didn't see who pushed her, but I know that Miss, as the 'daughter' of the Iron Whip King, will definitely not do such a thing, not now, and not in the future." Really?"
Gerdi still couldn't get back to his senses, because there was already a muffled thud in the distance, it was the sound of a wooden staff hitting a person, and he couldn't hear the screams, but he seemed to be able to feel the cane hitting his body, and it hurt to the bone, and he couldn't scream, what a miserable thing.
Her face was also a little pale for a while, and then she looked back at Pei Yuanxiu, and reluctantly smiled: "Yes, yes." β
The corners of Pei Yuanxiu's mouth hooked: "The suspicion on Miss Geerdi is gone." β
"Yes. β
"I'll give Miss a drink. β
Geerdi still seemed to be a little unable to come back to his senses, and then looked outside the 'door' where no one could be seen, and then turned his head to look at Pei Yuanxiu's faintly smiling face, his originally thick eyes suddenly flashed, as if he was a little afraid to look at him, lowered his head, and picked up the wine glass on the table.
Pei Yuanxiu raised his glass: "Please." β
ββ¦β¦ Please. β
After the two of them drank this cup, Pei Yuanxiu turned back to look at the Iron Whip King, and said with a smile: "King, do you still continue to drink?"
The Iron Whip King and the Evil Hou Qi glanced at each other, the two fathers and sons actually had some unfinished meaning on their faces, but as soon as they saw that the glass of wine between Geerdi and Pei Yuanxiu was finished, they hesitated - in fact, at this time, everyone could see that Pei Yuanxiu was going to calm things down tonight, and his close attitude towards Han Ruoshi before was just to make the master and servant think that this matter would definitely develop according to the result they wanted, and Xiaolian was even more arrogant in the palace, and today, it was naturally time for her to finish.
And that day, he asked me if I had heard anything, and when I answered no, his expression was a little strange.
Perhaps, Pei Yuanxiu, like me, heard something.
And just now, his words "cleared" Geldi's suspicion, but he didn't explain who the person who pushed down Han Ruoshi was, in fact, every word he said was affirming, someone pushed down Han Ruoshi, and it was Shengjing's people who walked behind Han Ruoshi, although the facts were clear, but he just didn't pierce this layer of window paper, killing Xiaolian, blocking the other party's mouth, and also letting the other party understand that if this matter is really to be investigated, Shengjing's people will have to face the reality of tearing their faces with him.
In fact, now Pei Yuanxiu can't, and Shengjing's people don't want to.
After all, having just entered the capital, there are still too many interests in the entire Central Plains, Pei Yuanxiu needs to rely on their strength, and they also need to use Pei Yuanxiu to obtain wealth.
However, I believe that from the very beginning, the evil Hou Qi persuaded Shengjing to send troops, and not long after entering the capital, he let Geerdi come to the Central Plains and take his sister to walk in this palace, and today the Iron Whip King came to the capital from Shengjing, they should have tried every means to push Geerdi to the position of Pei Yuanxiu's queen;
But now, Han Ruoshi's fetus is fine, Pei Yuanxiu killed a little lotus, and they all blocked their mouths, plus just now Geldi made a god to drink that cup with Pei Yuanxiu, which means that Geldi himself accepted everything tonight, and as soon as this glass of wine was drunk, it would be difficult for the Iron Whip King and the Evil Hou Qi to perform.
Therefore, they may have to find another way to take the queen's throne.
And Han Ruoshi on the other side - I turned around and glanced at her, listening to the sound of a stick 'stick' outside that was heavier than the other, and it stopped until now.
It is clear that Xiaolian is dead.
Her face was pale, and she sat in that place trembling as if she were sitting in the snow and ice.
Before tonight, Pei Yuanxiu was probably kind to her, and every word just now was also biased towards her, saying that she was wronged, but the matter of killing Xiaolian had already told her very clearly that this matter was in Pei Yuanxiu's plan.
The current Han Ruoshi was completely given up by Pei Yuanxiu.
I glanced at her, and then looked at Han Zitong on the other side, she had been silently watching the whole thing happen, at this time, although she was still silent, but I knew that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, it can be said that this matter has come to this point, it has been completely beyond her expectations.
She probably regarded the whole thing as an ordinary jealousy, but she didn't know that behind this seemingly colorful picture, the ink stained was the real focus of the whole thing.
At present, it seems that it is indeed the best time to compete for Pei Yuanxiu's position as queen, at this time, Pei Yuanxiu attaches a little more importance to which 'female' person, not only does he favor that 'female' person, but often represents the power behind that 'female' person, so all forces are also testing his attitude.
But Pei Yuanxiu obviously didn't intend to let others know his mind.
Whether he wants to continue to rely on Jinling's forces or focus on winning over Shengjing, at present, his attitude is still unclear.
He even used today's incident to warn the people, whether it was Jinling or Shengjing, that they could test him, but they should not really control him.
From entering Beijing to the present, Han Ruoshi can be said to have made mistakes every step of the way. Actually, she only blames herself, she can't see the current state of affairs clearly, she thinks she has a few with Shengjing' The girl's child dispute is just a dispute, she thought that she could continue to run rampant in this harem with the child in her belly, relying on her past love in Jinling, but she didn't see that the current Pei Yuanxiu is no longer the lost prince who was in Jinling, and the current state of affairs is not when they planned to fight the country together in Jinling, swallowing that the relationship between Pei Yuanxiu and Shengjing is tense, and any spark may burn the cooperation between the two sides, she openly accuses Shengjing's people at this time, and also allows Xiaolian to have all kinds of high-flying behaviors, in this case, she shouldn't die, she has to dieγ
As for Han Zitong on the other side.
Although she didn't see the situation clearly, she thought that the incident that happened before was just an ordinary matter of competition for favor for Pei Yuanxiu, but fortunately, she didn't point fingers at her, so this matter didn't 'spread' to her for the time being.
But I think it also gave her a wake-up call.
You can think about this queen's position, but don't reach out and grab it at will.
As for Pei Yuanxiu, what was he thinking - I raised my eyes to look at him, and I saw that his eyes were also looking at me, but only for a moment, and he turned his head very calmly.
