Chapter 30: Severe Punishment
The afternoon sun is exceptionally warm, shining on the body, and people can't help but doze off. Xiyan was also a little tired, so she simply closed the book and stretched.
For more than half a month, Li Xuan has not stepped into the Chenxi Pavilion again. Every day, except for meals, the two hardly have any intersection. It was like going back to the days before she married him, and she was in her room all day, reading, drawing, and just ...... She misses him sometimes.
When he came, she was afraid of him. He didn't come, and she felt like something was missing from her life.
Xiyan was thinking in a daze-
"Gege, Gege, no, Gege!" Chunxue ran in in a panic and knelt down with a pop.
"What's wrong?" Xiyan was stunned for a moment, "You get up and speak slowly." "Chunxue's clothes are a little messy, and two handfuls of her hair that were originally neatly combed have fallen out.
"Xia Shuang, Xia Shuang was taken away by the prince's people!" Chunxue spoke with a crying tone. "The slave maid originally told her to go to the flower room to ask for a few pots of flowers, but seeing that she had never come back, she went to look for her just now...... I don't know why she got into a fight with someone...... Moreover, and it happened to be met by the prince and Fujin......"
Xiyan chuckled in her heart.
"Where is she now?"
"I was escorted to the antechamber. Gege," Chunxue knelt on the ground, "you must save her." β
"Don't cry yet, hurry up and change my clothes." She feigned composure.
"Don't worry, master," Cai Qi, who was waiting on the side, said with relief. "The prince and Fujin are all people with clear rewards and punishments, and they will not wronged Xia Shuang."
Xiyan felt relieved and nodded gratefully at her.

By the time Chunxue Caiqi helped her to the hall, Li Xuan and Ning Ruo were already sitting in their seats.
In addition to Xia Shuang, there were five or six maids and servants on the ground who she didn't know.
"Xiyan greets the prince, and Fujin greets." She stepped forward respectfully and saluted.
"Xiyan, why are you here too?" Ning Ruo was stunned, and then said, "That's it, since you're here, let's listen to it." β
A trace of hesitation flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and before he could speak, he heard Ning Ruo say coldly, "Say, what's going on." She pointed to one of the oldest servant women on the earth.
"Slave maid ......" the servant woman knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, "The slave maid doesn't know what the two girls are for...... Just as they suddenly began to fight. The slaves and maids couldn't pull it away. β
"You're going to shirk it!" Ning Ruo snorted coldly, and immediately looked at Xia Shuang, "Xia Shuang, you say." β
"Just say it!" Xia Shuang said hatefully, "The slaves and maids just passed by the garden, and I heard them say bad things there!" She, she, and her, they're all talking! β
"All talking?" Ning Ruoxiu frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "What did you say?" β
"They...... They said that Gege was a broom star who killed his relatives...... It's still harmful...... FiancΓ© fell and broke his leg...... They also ...... "Xia Shuang cried loudly, and her slightly immature little face was full of tears," and said Gege...... What kind of husband is a person, he can't seduce Lord Belle, and he hooks up with the prince......"
Anyone can do it.
Xiyan's body trembled slightly, and her ruddy little face turned pale a little.
Li Xuan's face was also very gloomy. "How many of them said that?"
"Hmm!" Xia Shuang nodded vigorously.
Li Xuan stared fiercely at the trembling servant woman on the ground. "She's telling the truth?"
"Wang ...... The prince forgives the sin, the old slave also listened to what others said, and they all said it......"
"You say." Li Xuan casually pointed to a little maid again. "One fifteen ten said! Dare to say a word less, be careful to peel off your skin! β
Then, as if I remembered something. "Xiyan, you go back first."
"I ...... I think...... Stay, okay? She barely managed to get out of the way.
Li Xuan looked at her, finally sighed, and acquiesced.
This girl is still young, and when she was pointed at by Li Xuan, the three souls lost seven souls, and they all shook out the nonsense that had been circulating in the world in the mansion these days.
"Ahh Before she finished speaking, she was kicked to the ground by Li Xuan, "Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!" β
"Spare your life?!" Li Xuan's face was pale, and when he saw Xiyan still standing there steadily, there was no blood on his pale face, and his big eyes were just looking at the ground blankly...... He felt a pain in his heart, "So you still want to live?" β
Everyone held their breath in fright. If you want to say it, just say it, how can you carefully explain the secrets of the boudoir on the prince's wedding night, but it seems that she can see clearly how the side Fujin is humiliated. No matter how eloquently they are passed on in private, these words cannot be said in front of the master.
"Yes, very good! You're all good! Li Xuan laughed angrily, "It seems that Fujin is too tolerant of you on weekdays, but now you are all very big and know how to arrange the master!" β
As soon as he spoke, Ning Ruo's face instantly changed color, and she stood up calmly and walked up to him, "Please calm your anger!" It is the concubine who is not strict under the rule and has no way to manage, so she begs the prince to surrender her guilt! "Then bend over and kneel.
The servants and maids kneeling on the ground were even more frightened at this time. Li Xuan has always been tolerant and unconcerned, and he has never done it before. Now not only have they kicked people, but they are also quite dissatisfied with Fujin, who has always been pampered, and think about themselves...... The prince will not be spared!
Li Xuan stretched out his hand to support Ning Ruo, although his face was still ugly, his tone finally softened. "I can't blame you, it's all these things that make trouble." After speaking, his eyes swept coldly over the few people who chewed their tongues, "This matter will be handed over to Fujin to investigate, and it will be investigated carefully - this king wants to see how many servants who deceive the master in this mansion!" Catch them all, and you can't spare any of them! β
"Yes, the concubine will not dare to live up to the prince's entrustment this time." Ning Ruoying went down, and then shouted, "Someone! Drag these bastards down and beat them up for twenty boards and put them in the firewood room! After thinking about it again, "Xia Shuang, get up, today you have a meritorious service to protect the lord, and the prince has his own reward." β
Xia Shuang cried and thanked her, and hurriedly ran to Xiyan's side. Xiyan still stood in a daze, and didn't speak from beginning to end, just indifferently watched the group of crying maids and servants on the ground being dragged out by life.
Miserable screams came and went, but it was as if she hadn't heard them at all.
Seeing her like that, Li Xuan felt even more unbearable in his heart, "You don't have a good face, go back and rest." Relax, I'll always give you an explanation. β
Xiyan still didn't move. Ning Ruo shook his head helplessly and glanced at Cai Qi Chunxue. Only then did the two of them recover from the shock just now, and they willingly supported Xiyan down.
