Chapter 43: The Red of the Maid (10)
Qi Rui came over this time to report something, so he got up on his own without waiting for Duanyang to call up, and approached, "Nobleman, Ah Rui has something to do." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Duanyang wanted to embarrass her, but when he saw her so disrespectful, he just wanted to scold, but he was so stunned by what she said, and he swallowed the scolding that had reached his mouth, and only threw out a slag with ice. ā
Qi Rui shrunk her shoulders from the cold, but thinking of what had just happened, her face flushed with excitement.
"Nobleman, I heard that someone in Yingxia Palace made a big statement yesterday, saying that the king was an old cow who gnawed the tender grass of the Sumei."
After Qi Rui finished speaking, she raised her eyes to peek at Duanyang, and sure enough, she saw an angry look on her face.
Among these people from Jiang Guolai, the oldest is seventeen-year-old Shi Lan, and the rest are around fifteen or sixteen years old, Duanyang is even more prosperous, and the Meiji sent by Wei State, regardless of age, entered the palace more than half a year later than Duanyang.
Duanyang is very favored in Jiang Country, and he can't allow others to climb on top of him. King Zhao is greedy for new and loves beauty, he has been pampering those beauties during this time, Duanyang has long been unhappy, and now Qi Rui has sent such a good reason, how can Duanyang not take advantage of the situation to teach a lesson.
"Bold," Duanyang slapped the table and shouted, "Come on, bring me the slut from Yingxia Palace." ā
Qi Rui shook his shoulders, as if he was frightened by this sound, flashed to the side, and stood silently with honest eyes.
Shi Lan swept Qi Rui with cold eyes, secretly wondering how Qi Rui, who used to be delicate and laughing, dared to mock others at will, became so shrunk and timid.
A quarter of an hour later, the palace maid came to the hall with a cowardly Mei Ji with her sideburns scattered and embarrassed clothes, and without waiting for Duanyang to speak, the palace maid raised her foot and kicked, Mei Ji trembled in pain, and her body twitched for a long time before slowly bowing down, "Concubine Su Yu, meet Jiang Guiren." ā
Duanyang looked coldly at Su Yu, who was as delicate as a delicate flower that could not be beaten by the wind and rain, and raised his eyebrows leaning into his sideburns coldly, "Su Meiren, are you guilty?" ā
Duanyang's voice was very cold, so cold that Su Yu's body trembled, but he still raised his head bravely, a pair of beautiful eyes full of moisture, and teardrops fell on the smooth ground along the smooth skin, "Concubine, concubine don't know." ā
Duanyang Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "You don't know? Your handmaidens are not ashamed to speak loudly and talk about the king. If it weren't for you, how would she dare to act so boldly? ā
Duanyang's words clearly put the charge on her head, even if Su Yu was only from a small official family of 200 stone food, he knew that the crime of discussing the king was not trivial.
So she immediately fell to the ground and cried: "That Yuan Yun was assigned by others at will before the concubine came to Zhao Kingdom, and the concubine didn't have any friendship with her, so how could she be instructed to do things that ignore respect and humility." ā
Su Cai has a beautiful figure, kneeling on the ground like this, like a blooming pear flower, Duanyang looked coldly at the trembling and sobbing delicate flower, and couldn't help but clench his fists, and his long pointed nails were sunk deep in the palms of his hands.
"Since coming to Zhao Palace, Yuan Yun has been serving by your side, and now she is unfair for you, and if something happens, you are completely wiped out," Duanyang shouted, "Come on, drag me down and beat me with twenty sticks, I want to see if her mouth is hard or the wooden staff is hard." ā
The palace maid stepped forward in response, Su Yu trembled and shrunk her body together, and shouted again and again: "Nobleman, the concubine is wronged, what Yuan Yun did, the concubine really didn't know." ā
As soon as Duanyang's hand with armor was raised, the palace maid immediately stepped forward and dragged Su Yu by the arm, and dragged him out of the hall.
Su Yu wailed, only saying that his life was at stake.
Shi Lan behind her saw Duanyang's arbitrary conclusion, sighed secretly in her heart, took half a step forward with light feet, and whispered in Duanyang's ear, "Nobleman, since Su Meiren said that she was wronged, it is better to find that handmaid to confront each other, so that the king can ask and the nobleman can explain." ā
Duanyang paused his arm, felt that Shi Lan's words were reasonable, glanced at Su Yu, who had been dragged to the door of the main hall, and nodded, "Okay, spare her for a while." Come on, go and drag that to me. ā
Before the words fell, two sturdy palace maids strode out, and soon a small and delicate Yuan Yun in plain clothes was twisted and dragged to the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Yun raised his head, stared at his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, why are you arresting me?" ā
The palace maid who twisted her was dissatisfied with her rude attitude, and directly kicked her knee, and with a plop, the sound of skin and flesh hitting the ground echoed back and forth in the empty hall.
Yuan Yun screamed miserably, hugged her knees with her arms, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Shi Lan raised her hand to caress her chest, and the wails echoing in her ears made her feel happy.
Duanyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of eyes glanced at Qi Rui, who was shrinking, and Su Yu, who was crooked at the door of the hall, and then frowned impatiently, "Plug her mouth for me, it's so unruly, first hit ten canes, and then come to ask questions after punishment." ā
The sound of a wooden staff hitting came faintly from outside, and when the palace maid brought Yuan Yun again, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and the dress under her body was even more bloodstained.
"Nu Yuanyun has seen a nobleman."
This time, Yuan Yun, who was dragged over by the palace maid, knelt on the ground in a regular manner, and kowtowed honestly, no longer having the spirit of being ignorant and fearless, and bravely fighting against the powerful.
Duanyang glanced at Yuan Yun contemptuously, as if he was looking at a lowly and dirty mouse, "I heard that you are aggrieved for the Sumei people, saying that the king is an old cow?" ā
Yuan Yun's body on the ground trembled, and when she heard the unkindness in Duanyang's words, she was about to deny it immediately, but remembering the palace maids around her when she said this, she could only answer honestly, "Yes." ā
When Duanyang heard her answer, he smiled coldly, his red lips opened slightly, and the words he spit out were extremely harsh, "I don't know how to respect and humble things, I think you are tired of living, who gave you the courage to dare to slander the king." ā
Yuan Yun's body trembled slightly, her face was full of panic and fear, and she secretly scolded in her heart that she should not get carried away with the slightest praise, forgetting that this is an ancient time where you lose your head with a word, and it is not the modern era of freedom of speech at all.
Duanyang glanced at her coldly, and when he spoke again, his words were a little softer, "Seeing that you don't look like a person who is bolder than the sky, could it be that someone instructed you?" Say it and spare you from dying. ā
Duanyang's words were full of coaxing and certainty, when life was at stake, no one would lose their lives for others.
"Noble person, it was Yuan Yun who lost his words for a while, and I hope that the noble man will forgive his sins." Yuan Yun weighed left and right, and felt that whether it was along Duanyang or not, his life would be difficult to protect, and he could only grit his teeth and admit it for today's plan, and only hoped that his body was strong enough to survive this hurdle.
When Duanyang heard her words, he was extremely dissatisfied, and shouted, "Okay." Come, give me this unrespected and humble scumbag with a cane, the Sumei people are not strict in discipline, and the cane will be ten strokes as a punishment. ā
Yuan Yun was shocked, and opened her mouth to want to regurgitate, but she didn't expect the palace maid to step forward, directly block her mouth, and drag her out.
Outside the hall, there was a faint sound of skin and flesh being beaten and a woman's scream, Shi Lan reached out and gently massaged Duanyang's tense shoulders to relieve her anger.
Qi Rui, who had been pretending to be an invisible person for a long time, stepped forward to flatter: "The noble man is wise, it is not a pity for such a cheap maid to die." ā
Duanyang glanced at her coldly, and said impatiently: "Okay, you can step down, and come over to serve me later." ā
As soon as Duanyang's words fell, Qi Rui couldn't help but shrink, Shi Lan saw her movements, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, it seemed that Qi Rui's life was very difficult during this time.
