146. Old Accounts
When Gao Xueyan was dragged out of the palace, her hands and feet were worn out, and the pearl hairpin was scattered all over the ground, and the magnificent Dongzhu didn't know where it fell and who picked it up, not to mention the purple dress that was tattered.
Gao Xueyan was angry and humiliated, until she was transported home by her grandfather Gao Guogong and her father Gao Chi, and her whole body was still trembling. Zhenguo Gong has three sons and a daughter, and only one eldest son, Gao Chi, and one eldest daughter, Gao Huixian, is Mo Mingzhu's stepmother Gao. The others are all concubines.
Gao Xueyan and Gao Junfeng are both Gao Chitz's sons and daughters. Gao Junfeng was hit by the plague last year and has been paralyzed in bed and delirious. Fortunately, her daughter Xue Yan is more promising than Gao Junfeng, so she is very precious.
Gao Chi's wife, Song, heard the girl say the situation, and hurriedly went to see her baby daughter. The Song family is also a means of doing it, Gao Chi doesn't even have a concubine, only two intercourse, and he hasn't been able to get pregnant for so many years.
"Xue Yan, how are you ...... How did you become like this, who bullied you? I'm Xue Yan...... If you sue sΓΉ Niang, Niang will definitely give you anger. β
Gao Xueyan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, thinking about Mo Mingzhu's appearance when she threw her out, and trembled with anger.
"Who else can there be, of course the vicious woman who hurt my sister Huixian, Mo Mingzhu!" Gao Chi told Gao Xueyan about the situation, and Song's face immediately turned innocent.
"It's her again! Even if she is the princess, this matter must not be left like this! β
Gao Chi is a little weaker, and there are many cases where Song has ideas. "Our daughter has suffered such a big crime, of course we can't just forget it."
Song walked around the room.
"I'll go to the prime minister's wife to talk about it, I heard that the prime minister's daughter has also been deflated at Mo Mingzhu's, as long as she is blowing the wind in the prime minister's ears, our Gao Yang family will join forces to join her! She must not be able to do it, the queen. β
Immediately, the Song family asked the maid to prepare a few new silk satins with lake water, and took the carriage to Prime Minister Yang's mansion.
In the palace, after Mo Mingzhu asked Qing Sui and Qing Li to throw Gao Xueyan out of the palace, he immediately escorted the four eunuchs in Fengxiang Palace who had just heard her order but stood still to the palace.
Lu Ling and Tang An called the other eunuchs and palace maids outside the hall and waited.
In the hall, Mo Mingzhu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, and glanced at the four eunuchs kneeling in the center of the hall. "Are you deaf?"
Although the four eunuchs were afraid, their faces were stiff and very tough, and the tall, thin eunuch with the oldest qualifications replied: "Princess Niangniang, the minions are not deaf, the minions think that the princess has only been in the palace for two days, and if the movement is too big, it will not be good for the princess Niangniang, so the minions ......"
With a snap, Mo Mingzhu put down the teacup heavily. "It's because you've been a slave for a long time and you're confused, and you still 'feel' up?"
Mo Mingzhu stood up. "Lu Ling, take out the seventy-two laws and one hundred and forty-seven palace rules of our harem, and see which one this 'thinks', and follow the rules."
Lu Ling said crisply, and went to get the palace rules and regulations, and the two palms overlapped so thickly. Lu Ling has been in the palace since she was a child, and she became a big palace maid at twenty, so she is also capable. Soon read: "Niangniang, this 'feeling' is to despise the master, disobey the will, according to the palace rules, be a heavy rod of fifty and expel from the palace gate." β
No matter how hard the four eunuchs were, they couldn't help but tremble. Fifty canes are punished, that is almost equivalent to killing with one breath left, and throwing out of the palace is a dead end.
Mo Mingzhu snorted, walked slowly to the four people, and glanced at the other four eunuchs at the door who were in charge of playing the board. "Are you deaf, or are you not clever enough?"
The other four eunuchs outside the door trembled, looked at each other, and then hurriedly crawled in, dragged the four eunuchs out one by one, took the board and started fighting.
Tang An supervised on the side: "Beat hard!" After saying that, he looked at the four eunuchs again...... It's not right......
Mo Mingzhu asked Yun Tao to help her to rest, and gave Lu Ling a look before leaving.
Lu Ling nodded slightly, and after Mo Mingzhu left, he said to the minions: "When the monarch of Qiyang County was dragged out of the palace, he picked up the list of pearl hairpins. "Spit and ridicule the ranks." "Cold-eyed bystanders are out of the ranks."
The minions immediately weakened their legs and were frightened. However, listening to the crackling sound of the eunuch being beaten outside, as well as the tragic situation of Xiu Lian the day before yesterday, he didn't dare to wrap it up, and he didn't say anything, and it was even worse when he was found out.
Immediately, there were more than a dozen people in the ranks, accounting for a small half of the servants of Fengxiang Palace.
"Niangniang is kind-hearted, polite and kind to people, you actually slander Qiyang Junjun in private, even if Qiyang Junjun has a lot of wrong, you shouldn't say bad things about people in private, fall into the well, Niangniang is very dissatisfied, each person beats twenty with a cane!"
Lu Ling led more than a dozen people to the side hall and was punished.
More than a dozen people entered the side hall, the door was closed, more than a dozen people thought that they were going to be extinguished, they were so afraid that they knelt down and begged for mercy, but to no avail, they had to lie on the stool and wait to be beaten, but they didn't want to be padded with thick books on their buttocks, and the board was loud, but it didn't hurt at all.
More than a dozen people were stunned.
Finished.
"The princess is benevolent, sympathetic to your hard work on weekdays, the board is injured and it is inconvenient to do things, since the punishment is also punished, this matter is over." Lu Ling asked Qingyan and Qingxu to untie the red cloth, which was two large plates of silver taels. "The money was used for the soup and medicine. This 'lesson', do you have to remember, how to do it in the future? β
More than a dozen people were holding silver, and then they gradually understood that this is a punishment, and it is clearly a reward! Immediately, they all knelt down and shouted that they remembered and understood clearly, and thanked the princess for her compassion.
The other minions outside the hall thought that when the door of the side hall opened, they would see a patch of blood, but they didn't expect that although more than a dozen people were lame and had a mouth of oops, they all had smiles on their faces......
After Lu Ling finished doing the outside work, she went to Mo Mingzhu to make an errand, and said that the dozen or so people were extremely happy to receive the reward. The slave and maid saw that they were enlightened, and knew what to say and do in the future. If she encounters such a situation again, Gao Xueyan may be even worse. β
"Hmm." Mo Mingzhu remembered Gao Xueyan's wolf appearance and laughed.
"Niangniang's trick is really high, and she locked her eyeliner out at once. These dozen or so people should be safe, and the thirteen minions recommended by the magistrate who asked the slaves to check the maid last time are not among the more than ten people, it seems that there is really a problem. Luling said.
"Except for these dozen people, the others will be screened again, and they will all be punished from Fengxiang Palace and thrown away in the violent room if they find an opportunity." Mo Mingzhu said.
Luling promised. At this time, the deputy chief eunuch Tang An replied.
Mo Mingzhu was pregnant and a little sleepy, so she didn't want to pay attention to him, so she asked Qingyan to tell him to go down. Qingyan went back and forth: "Niangniang, Father-in-law Tang said that he found something important and needs to see you immediately." β
Tang An got the order to come in and immediately knelt on the ground: "Niangniang, the slave just hit the board of the four slaves and found something terrible." "The four of them, the four of them turned out to be fake eunuchs, and they are not clean!"
Lu Ling and Qing Yan were all pale, knowing the strictness of this matter. Mo Mingzhu was also covered in a cold sweat, Tang An said that he had tied up people to the side hall and locked them up, Mo Mingzhu immediately went to the side hall to see the four people, and he was still angry. Although she used to be a doctor and didn't care about taking a look at the lump of flesh in her crotch, she didn't confirm it in person because the times were different.
Lu Ling glanced at Tang An, who had a villainous face. "How did you find out? They all wear clothes when they play boards. She was suspecting that if Tang An was the head of eyeliner, he might sacrifice his subordinates to gain trust.
"Miss Luling, this one is easy to recognize. Since he became a eunuch as a slave, there was no murderous aura in his eyes, and the murderous aura was very strong when the four of them were subjected to the board, and the slaves felt that there was something wrong when they saw it. β
Mo Mingzhu nodded, feeling more and more that Tang An was smart, and if he could be loyal to himself, it should be very useful.
At night, Xiao Yuchen came, and Mo Mingzhu told him what happened during the day.
Xiao Yuchen didn't want to be ambushed by so many unknown people in the palace, and he was shocked for a while, but he was more worried about one thing: "You taught Gao Xueyan a lesson today, I'm afraid that the Gao family will not be so good at giving up, and the ceremony will definitely be a demon after the seal." β
"If I just don't clean up the mess, will they let me go?" Mo Mingzhu said, his eyes were fixed on the candlelight, and his voice sank, "There is a gap between me and the Gao family between the lives of the Gao family and Mo Xuelan, with this old account, how can they let me live well?" β
Xiao Yuchen remembered that when he saw Mo Mingzhu for the first time, she fell in a waterhole, was chased by a killer, and her face was full of scars, and her heart ached faintly.
"Mingzhu, when I clear the court, no one will be able to threaten you anymore......"
Mo Mingzhu smiled. "You have to be a Mingjun, and you can't be told by others. Since the Gao family has descended, you can't touch them on your face. "This executioner, let Mingzhu do it!"
The Gao family's account, she will have to settle it sooner or later!
Xiao Yuchen didn't speak, but just hugged her tighter. This little woman is more powerful than he imagined, but he just wants to protect her well, so that she doesn't have to do anything and enjoys her happiness. Therefore, when this happened, he has always felt guilty about Mo Mingzhu in his heart. He has a calm and reserved personality and will not say this.
Mo Mingzhu remembered one thing: "Your Highness, the matter of the dragon's treasure has been exposed, and now everyone in the world is looking for it, will it be ......?"
Xiao Yuchen laughed. "If it's so easy to be found, it's not a dragon treasure." After he finished speaking, he was silent again, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Mingzhu's eyes, and asked seriously: "Don't let people know that you have a strange eye!" Otherwise......" otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, he didn't say this sentence, for fear of scaring her,
The remnant of the stele said that she was the key to finding and unlocking the treasure, and later facts did prove to be so. If people know, the people in the world with ill intentions will probably target her. This is what Xiao Yuchen is most worried about, this secret must be kept, he must have enough strength to protect her! Therefore, he must be the overlord of the world, not just the land of Daqi.
Mo Mingzhu didn't know what he was thinking, and was amused by Xiao Yuchen's sudden stern gaze. "It's late at night, Your Highness...... Brother Yuchen, go to sleep. β
Her face was slightly red in the red candlelight, like peach blossoms reflected on the snow, and her eyes seemed to be as moving as if they were holding spring water. Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and took her into his arms, and the hands of the two, one big and one small, one rough and one white, stroked the baby in Mo Mingzhu's belly together.
"With you, I, Xiao Yuchen, am the happiest man in the world."
Mo Mingzhu gently snuggled into his arms, listening to his heartbeat coming from his thick chest, dispelling the uneasiness in his heart. There were so many enemies lurking around her, and she was actually scared, afraid that she would never wake up again if she fell asleep, lose her child, lose him......
