Thirty kills?

These ten sticks will split the flesh and crack it if it goes down, and thirty rods will not kill anyone?

But everyone present understands that these thirty killing sticks don't really want Akiba's life, after all, the other party still has what the Queen Mother Lafayette needs, but in a hurry, Lafayette's thirty sticks are just to make Akibabai feel pain and make it uncomfortable.

Seeing that the people present didn't react for a while, a fierce anger flashed between the Queen Mother's eyebrows: "Don't do it yet, is this all the other way around!" ”

Akiba Bai didn't make a sound, just stood quietly, looking at Lafayette and not speaking, as if the person who was going to be punished was not very her.

Her indifferent appearance made everyone in the palace who was waiting for the Queen Mother Lafayette couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise and admiration, Lafayette was in a high position in his life, and his power was sometimes even heavier than that of His Majesty the Emperor, and ordinary ministers trembled in front of Lafayette, so the yellow-mouthed child didn't know if the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he dared to look directly at the Queen Mother Lafayette without evading.

But Qiu Yebai's behavior can only make the shadow under the Queen Mother's eyes heavier and heavier, Zheng Jun glanced at her, and then looked at Qiu Yebai and said in a deep voice: "Since you dare to break into the palace ban, you know that there must be this day, drag Qiu Yebai down." ”

Qiu Yebai lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "Don't bother the governor, the grass people will leave by themselves, but ...... Lafayette, are you really sure you won't just beat the grass people to death, what if those things in the hands of the grass people fall into the hands of the unscrupulous people? ”

Everyone in the palace gasped, looking at Qiu Yebai in disbelief, they couldn't believe what they heard, except for the princess of the regent country, there was someone who dared to threaten the Queen Mother Lafayette in person?

Zheng Jun glanced at Qiu Yebai with some surprise, and secretly exchanged a meaningful look with Chen He.

Seeing that the atmosphere instantly became tense, Mama Dong couldn't help but turn white, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, don't let people block his mouth, drag it down and beat him hard!" ”

Lafayette laughed angrily, pinched the handkerchief of his hand, and sneered: "Okay, good, it was really taught by the good niece of the mourning family." Son', she is really capable, you can rest assured, just at your mouth, the mourning family will not beat you to death, but there are methods in this world that can make people miserable but obedient, the mourning family wants to see if your mouth is hard, or the means of the mourning family are hard, drag it down, hit it lightly on the upper waist of the legs, inch by inch, discount to ask Luo Yizheng to pick up the bones, pick it up, and then continue to fight! ”

Lafayette's methods from when she was a girl at home were vigorous and resolute, after becoming a serious master in the palace, she was even more merciless to those concubines who seduced the first emperor with foxes and seduced the lord, even if it was a woman next to her son, she was firmly in control of her hands, and the means were very ruthless, and in the early years, there were even rumors that the first emperor said that he was reincarnated as a pheasant, but such an outgoing thunderous anger was also something that everyone had not seen for a long time.

Mama Dong watched coldly as the inner guards rushed up and held Qiu Yebai in their hearts, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, it was really this person's ability to provoke Lafayette like this.

"Who made Lafayette so angry, it's really damned." A gentle and elegant man's voice with a southern accent suddenly sounded, like a gentle Jiangnan breeze blowing by, interrupting the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the apse.

Everyone looked at it together, only to see a figure step in, the leno color moire Luo was wrapped in his slender figure, the light and delicate material with his elegant pace, gently flickering, making people feel in a trance only feel that a cloud of smoke in front of them came into the curtain, vaguely seemed to have a faint verdant water vapor.

"Su'er?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she saw him.

Mei Su's eyebrows were still as indifferent and warm as the smoke of the south of the Yangtze River, and when he passed by Qiu Yebai's side, he didn't seem to see Qiu Yebai, so he stepped forward and hugged his fist at the Queen Mother: "Lafayette." ”

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, looked at her little finger wearing red gold and emerald armor, and said coldly: "On weekdays, if you let this child enter the palace to see the mourning family, you are like a tiger in the palace, and you shirk it in every way. ”

Although the Queen Mother's voice was cold, the fierce and gloomy color before had dispersed a lot.

The tense atmosphere dissipated a lot, and even everyone in the Yongning Palace breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiu Yebai could even hear a hint of anger in her voice, it was something almost warm, and her gaze stopped on the Queen Mother's well-maintained delicate face, and finally stopped at Mei Su's body.

Mei Su stepped forward with a smile, sat on the left hand side of the Queen Mother, and said gently: "Lafayette's words are really tormenting Su'er, Su'er is recuperating if she is not running outside these days, if she can come in to visit Lafayette, how can Su'er be unwilling?" ”

Mei Su's breath was like a faint and gentle Jiangnan smoke and rain, as if extinguishing the anger of the Queen Mother Lafayette, she shook the jade rosary in her hand and sneered softly: "You coax the mourning family, if you really come to see the mourning family, just sit on the side, wait for the mourning family to deal with the idle matters, and by the way, also seek justice for your little child." ”

The Queen Mother did not shy away from revealing the relationship between Mei Su and herself, and even bluntly said that she wanted to seek justice for Mei Su's injuries, which made Qiu Yebai still shocked in her heart, although she had already heard that the Mei family was the Queen Mother's cronies, but what she saw today, she felt that the Queen Mother was so close to Mei Su that it was so simple, and it might be more appropriate to use 'favor'.

She quietly observed the situation between Mei Su and the Queen Mother, and groaned in her heart, it seems that she is going to re-evaluate Mei Su, originally she just thought that Mei Su was the lackey of the Queen Mother's side, but today it seems that he can not only enter the eyes of the suspicious and tough Queen Mother Lafayette, but also affect the Queen Mother's feelings, it can be seen that if there is not another ulterior relationship between him and the Queen Mother, or his skills are too superb.

But either way, it's not a good thing for her.

Qiu Yebai was in a bad mood, but Mei Su seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw the Queen Mother talking like this, he chuckled and said: "Thank you Lafayette for worrying about Su'er, it's just that Su'er is no longer a child, and she needs to complain to Lafayette if she is bullied. ”

This was said warmly and ingeniously, clearly expressing his meaning, but it made Lafayette uncomfortable.

Or maybe Lafayette didn't intend to attack Mei Su at all, but just looked at him coldly: "Su'er, you won't be fascinated by some unclean slut like your cousin?" ”

After that, Lafayette swept the autumn leaves with a sharp knife.

Although she didn't hear that Mei Su and Qiu Ye Bai had any other intersection in Huainan except for pursuit, after Mei Su came back, she also sent someone to the celebrant to listen to the news, and ordered Zheng Jun not to embarrass Qiu Ye Bai too much, and she also knew.

There are occasional good men among the nobles of the empire, although they are not on the stage, they are not ashamed, and although she is unwilling to admit it, it is a fact that Akiba Bai is so good-looking, outstanding, and has an outstanding demeanor.

Coupled with Du Zhenlan's matter, she was full of disgust for Autumn Leaf White, and she even wondered if Mei Su was bewitched by Autumn Leaf White.

Autumn leaves lowered her eyes, just as if she didn't see Lafayette's undisguised disgust, and secretly sneered, thanks to Mei Su being able to say that she had bullied him.

But...... Cousin aunt?

She hadn't heard that the Mei family and the Du family were related by marriage, but maybe they were just very well hidden and not for outsiders.

If Du Zhenlan is Mei Su's cousin, then Mei Su does have a close relationship with the Queen Mother Lafayette, but Du Zhenlan and the Queen Mother Lafayette are close relatives, but how Du Zhenlan was reprimanded, she could hear it clearly outside the door, but this Young Master Mei is also equivalent to 'interceding' for her in disguise, but the Queen Mother Lafayette is not angry at all, this distant and close relatives are also a little weird.

"Lafayette, do you think Su'er is a person who is stunned?" Mei Su chuckled, glanced at Qiu Ye Bai lightly, and said leisurely: "However, Su Er just knows that Qiu Ye Bai is a strange and sinister person, since she dares to say so, if she lets her finish speaking, and then make a decision, Su Er will not stop you, not to mention that Su Er believes that even if she doesn't rely on those bloody methods, she can make her speak." ”

Mei Su looked at Akiba Bai slightly hooked the corners of her lips, revealing a surprisingly gentle smile, but that kind of gaze made Akiba Bai clearly feel - ill intentions.

But Mei Su's voice was light and gentle, like a slanting wind and drizzle, and there was a strange ability to calm people's hearts, the Queen Mother looked at Mei Su for a long time, her expression was unpredictable, and finally turned her head and raised her hand coldly: "The other idlers and others went out first, only Mama Dong, Zheng Jun and Su Er stayed." ”

Everyone in the palace seemed to be accustomed to Mei Su being able to persuade Lafayette, and they were not too surprised, but Mama Dong first wanted to dissuade her worriedly: "Lafayette, this autumn leaves are white and strong in martial arts, if there is no inner guard to star, the slave and maid are ...... worried." ”

Mei Su interrupted her lightly: "Mama don't worry, Su will definitely not let anyone hurt Lafayette here, or do you not believe in Zheng Dugong's ability, not to mention that she is still handcuffed and shackled." ”

The handcuffs and shackles on Akiba's hands and feet are not ordinary utensils, they are all made of special dark iron, very tough, without keys and sharp weapons that sharpen iron like clay, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they can't be opened.

Although Mama Dong was worried, when she saw Mei Su say that, she couldn't say anything, so she could only nod and say, "Childe, you are laughing, the old slave naturally believes in your ability." ”

Everyone who had nothing to do with them withdrew from the door together, but Mei Su gave something to Mama Dong again, and after a while, she saw Mama Dong hesitate for a moment but still nodded and withdrew from the door, so there were only a few people left in the door.

Mei Su whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear again, and the Queen Mother looked at Qiu Yebai vigilantly, as if she had thought deeply for a moment, and still nodded towards Mei Su.

Then, Mei Su walked in front of Qiu Yebai, looked down at her and showed a shallow smile: "Ye Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm." ”

Qiu Yebai watched Mei Su divide five by two, and actually resolved the stiff situation just now, but he admired him, so he also hooked the corners of his lips slightly, met his eyes without avoiding it, and said lightly: "Yes, don't come to harm, Master Mei, your tongue is still very skillful." ”

Mei Su looked at her and chuckled, stepped forward again, and said in a low voice: "It's not as good as you, Ye Bai, I didn't know when I would be able to see you again, and I didn't want to have such a good opportunity today." ”

His warm snort swept over the tip of Akiba's white nose, and she lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "Who said it wasn't?" ”

After the two people with ghosts finished speaking, they sneered at each other and looked at each other, and then quickly separated again.

Mei Su turned around, grabbed her wrist, led her to a chair near the Queen Mother and sat down, tied the chain of her handcuffs and shackles to the pillar on the side, looked at the Queen Mother, smiled and arched his hand, and after the Queen Mother nodded, he turned and retreated through the other door.

Qiu Yebai looked at the room and only the Queen Mother and Zheng Jun were left, and slowly looked around: "Lafayette believes very much, or believes that Young Master Mei will get along with the grass people almost alone." ”

What the hell is Mei Su trying to do?

The Queen Mother glanced at her coldly, and with a gesture, Zheng Jun immediately skillfully brewed the tea on the side, and carefully presented it to the Queen Mother: "Lafayette, please use it." ”

The Queen Mother lowered her head and took a sip of the tea, as if she had extinguished the fire in her heart with tea, and said indifferently: "The mourning family has been in the harem for thirty years, who hasn't seen it?" ”

Qiu Yebai smiled: "Yes, Lafayette is naturally not afraid of me, a yellow-mouthed child." ”

The Queen Mother was a little impatient, and glanced up and down at Qiu Yebai contemptuously, and went straight to the point: "Say, where are you hiding the account books, and who is behind your back to instruct you to have such courage to oppose the mourning family." ”

She didn't believe that there was no one behind Akiba Bai, and he dared to shout and choke with her like this.

Akiba Bai said lightly in his heart, well, is this coming?

She pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "If the grass people said that it was instructed by His Royal Highness, do you believe it?" ”

The Queen Mother made a pause in her hand, then narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Autumn leaves, Su'er admonished Yu Wai's family, and the mourning family gave you a chance to show your affection in front of the mourning family. ”

Autumn leaves raised his eyebrows for a long time: "Don't Lafayette believe it?" ”

The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said contemptuously: "The eighth is a man who has some ability to fight, if it is said that he instructed it, it is reasonable, the mourning family believes that in this Huainan case, there is a part of him to provoke trouble, but if this matter is instructed by him, the people of the mourning family will not catch you in his palace, the mourning family knows that you have good martial arts, and it is not easy to lurk in the palace. ”

She paused and said sarcastically: "Being arrested is a play that you directed and acted in?" ”

Qiu Yebai was silent for a moment, smiled and generously admitted: "Jiang is still old and spicy, you guessed right, that qiē is indeed a play directed and acted by himself." ”

She must admit that the Queen Mother Lafayette is a human spirit who has been immersed in the court for many years, and she can guess that she was deliberately caught.

The Queen Mother looked at her, her delicate eyebrows flashed, and then she sneered like grace: "The mourning family has been watching the harem court for many years, and there are many people like you who have hearts and desires, but such an earth-shattering tossing person, you are the first one, let's say, what do you want?" ”

Qiu Yebai looked at the Queen Mother, and suddenly said very simply: "It's very simple, the grass people only ask to withdraw the wanted warrant, the official is promoted to the third level, and the mansion is self-established, with a thousand taels of gold." ”

The Queen Mother heard that Zheng Junhe's evaluation of Qiu Yebai in the news collected during the pursuit was not low, but this person was smart and intelligent, unruly, and had the unruly legacy of Wei Jin Ruan and Ji Kang in the world, she originally thought that she would hear some righteous words, or point out the country, and even her contempt for the government, and even her Lafayette, but she didn't expect to hear these 'cheesy' requests that they can no longer be 'cheesy'!

The Queen Mother Lafayette was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zheng Jun suspiciously, and then turned her face to look Qiu Yebai up and down: "What did you say?" ”

"The grass people want to be promoted to the third level, set up a mansion on their own, and have a thousand taels of gold." Akibabai chose the most important words dryly again.

The Queen Mother Lafayette narrowed her eyes: "The official is promoted to the third level, that is, from the second rank, and the supervisor of the celebrant is the second grade, is it possible that you still want to become the ...... of the celebrant supervisor." ”

"That's right, I want to become the deputy seat of the celebrant below." Akiba Bai smiled unceremoniously, as if the requests she had made were very simple and natural.

The matter involved the celebrant supervisor, Zheng Jun couldn't help but look up at Qiu Yebai again in surprise, his eyes were unpredictable, as if he couldn't help but mock in his heart, and said mockingly: "Qiu Yebai, you don't look big, but your heart is quite big, do you know how many years it took to sit in this seat?" ”

"Employing people on the basis of merit is not only about the length of time." Qiu Yebai looked at Zheng Jun and said leisurely.

Zheng Jun seemed to be angry and laughed, and wanted to say something, but was coldly interrupted by Lafayette: "Autumn leaves, don't think that the mourning family gives you a chance to speak, just be presumptuous in front of the mourning family, people are very self-motivated, but the ambition is too great, it will cost their lives, don't come to challenge the patience of the mourning family." ”

This guy opened his mouth to enter the cabinet from the second grade, and it was really a lion's mouth.

Qiu Yebai didn't answer directly this time, but suddenly changed the topic and said: "Queen Mother Lafayette, is there anything you ask for, but can't ask for it?" ”

The Queen Mother paused, narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly and laughed: "Qiu Yebai, you are really presumptuous and ignorant, do you know that the bones of people who dare to ask this have turned to ashes?" ”

Autumn leaves lowered his eyes, slightly curled the corners of his lips, as if respectfully said: "The grass people do not offend Lafayette and spy on the phoenix heart, but Lafayette is of noble birth, and he has been honored and prosperous all his life, cooking oil with fire, and blooming with brocade, so he naturally does not understand the situation of those of us who are lowly." ”

She paused and said faintly: "If a child is bullied so much that he only has half a life left because he is out of his concubine and because his aunt is favored, and he is thrown out of the house for more than ten years, no one still remembers this child, let alone remember to let this child read and learn calligraphy, and enter school to study, so this child struggles to learn martial arts, learn literature and science, and concentrate on planning, just to one day let those who once despise themselves and despise themselves be trampled under their feet, but suddenly find ......." ”

“…… found that all his efforts and all his painstaking plans still couldn't resist the so-called background, the so-called gap between his descendants and concubines. ”

She lowered her eyes and sneered lightly: "No one would want to be born dust and stepping stones under the feet of others, since I can endure for so many years, and my ability to overwhelm everyone to win the leader of the beast conference, how can I watch the qiē I got come to naught like this, the Queen Mother Lafayette ......." ”

Qiu Yebai raised his eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother with a burning and cool gaze: "You are a lady of the sky, a noble lady of the sky, you can never understand the kind of planning and hard work for many years, but it turns into a necessity, or the kind of pain and helplessness that is close at hand, but you can't ask for it, or resentment?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't seem to expect Qiu Yebai to be so straightforward, looking at her blazing and bright eyes for a moment, and suddenly said lightly: "Who said that the mourning family doesn't understand." ”

Autumn leaves were white, as if he didn't expect the Queen Mother to answer like this, so he only lowered his eyes and said softly: "Queen Mother Lafayette, what you don't understand, for Zaixia, there are only things you want to do, and there are no things you can't do." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, but her eyes fell on Qiu Ye Bai fixedly, and after a long time, she suddenly curled the corners of her lips: "Qiu Ye Bai, can you really do anything to achieve your goals and to be in power?" ”

She paused, raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, still with cold and fiery eyes: "It depends on whether the Queen Mother Lafayette wants the life of the grass people, the grass people only ask the Qiu family to owe me, I want to take it myself." ”

The Queen Mother paused, leaned lazily on the flower table, and played with the delicate and gorgeous jade ring on her finger: "If the mourning family is not acceptable, you can trust the mourning family to let you speak." ”

The Queen Mother's gloomy eyes fell on her, cold and sharp, contemptuous and arrogant.

Autumn leaves lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Then ask Lafayette Feng to cut." ”

There was a deathly silence in the air.

After a long time, the Queen Mother's cold and distant voice sounded: "Okay, Qiu Yebai, the mourning family can agree to your request, but the mourning family is a person with clear rewards and punishments, if you want to serve the mourning family and become a useful chess piece in the hands of the mourning family, then let the mourning family see your determination first." ”

Qiu Yebai raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, a hint of sharp color flashed in his eyes, and he also said in a deep voice: "Please Lafayette make it clear." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled into a sharp and cold smile: "If you hurt Su'er first, and offended the mourning family, you will receive fifteen rattan first." ”

The gloomy light fell on her, cold and sharp, contemptuous and arrogant.

Autumn leaves lowered his eyes and said quietly: "Then ask Lafayette Feng to cut." ”

There was a deathly silence in the air.

After a long time, the Queen Mother's cold and distant voice sounded: "Okay, Qiu Yebai, the mourning family can agree to your request, but the mourning family is a person with clear rewards and punishments, if you want to serve the mourning family and become a useful chess piece in the hands of the mourning family, then let the mourning family see your determination first." ”

Qiu Yebai raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother, a hint of sharp color flashed in his eyes, and he also said in a deep voice: "Please Lafayette make it clear." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled into a sharp and cold smile: "If you hurt Su'er first, and offended the mourning family, you will receive fifteen rattan first." ”

Qiu Ye pale for a moment and chuckled: "Sure enough, it's really not easy to serve the Queen Mother." ”

This Queen Mother Lafayette is really a master who must compare with the baht, and this killing stick was not beaten, so it was replaced with rattan.

"Let Zheng Jun be responsible for the execution of these fifteen rattans." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

The rattan whipping in the palace, the rattan used is different from the general rattan outside, specially concocted, the most powerful pumping people, can pump the subcutaneous muscles, but the blood can't come out, to make people the most painful, the skin is open, but it will not kill people, but this kind of injury is very difficult to raise.

What's more, let Zheng Jun be responsible, what he said today was already clear that he wanted to compete with him for the position of the celebrant supervisor, how could he not suspect her in his heart, he was afraid that he would be ruthless at all, how to make her hurt, how to come.

Akiba Shiro is well-informed, so he naturally knows it.

She nodded without hesitation: "Okay." ”

The Queen Mother paused, and added: "If anyone stops the fifteen lashes of rattan, the promise given to you by the mourning family will be null and void." ”

Is this the Queen Mother's attempt to prevent anyone from interrupting her punishment?

Anyone who offended the Queen Mother would probably be punished.

Autumn leaves paused for a moment, then raised his eyes, looked at the Queen Mother, and replied neatly again: "Okay."
