Mo Ziyu was punished to kneel in the courtyard, and Qian'er was pressed to death with a cane on a bench.

Qian'er's screams rang in her ears, but she couldn't do anything. She thought that she might be able to control her own destiny in her life, but she had always been so weak that not only could she not protect her side, but even she might be an ant at the mercy of others.

If you want to control your own destiny, it is not enough to just put all your hopes on Liu Xu, you must also be strong.

The princess has the orthodox identity of the princess, the second lady has a prominent maiden family, the third lady and Liu Xu have a childhood sweetheart, and the fourth lady has a son, but she has no family background, the second is ruthless, and the third has no heirs. Just because of Liu Xu's warmth in the past two days, he tried to think that he had gained a firm foothold in King Qi's Mansion, but he didn't know that it was far from enough.

Qian'er's voice became smaller and smaller, and then she was covered with a white cloth and thrown on the ground, Mo Ziyu looked at the ground in front of her in a daze, and did not turn her head to look at it once.

knelt straight in the courtyard for two hours, until the night had completely fallen, the torches all over the courtyard were extinguished, and most of the people went to rest, Liu Xu's figure suddenly appeared.

He walked quickly to Mo Ziyu's side and glanced down at her: "Get up." ”

Mo Ziyu didn't move.

He sighed and said, "Do you still want this king to help you?"

"My leg is numb. Mo Ziyu said.

Lu Qiao was about to help Mo Ziyu get up, but Liu Xu bent down and hugged Mo Ziyu, looked at her eyes, and said softly, "Let's go back." ”

At this time, I saw that the second lady was wearing a dress, and hurriedly came out of it, and said with a smile: "The prince is here, why don't you send someone to say hello in advance?"

When she saw Liu Xu holding Mo Ziyu in his arms, a smile froze on her lips: "What is this doing?"

"The Seventh Lady is injured, and the small punishment is a big commandment, which can be regarded as a lesson for her. Liu Xu said.

The second lady gritted her teeth: "Since the prince has handed over the power to manage the affairs of the palace to the concubine, then the concubine can be rewarded and punished, as long as there is evidence to follow." The people in the courtyard of the Seventh Lady made a mistake today, not only did she not realize it, but she also intended to cover it up, the concubine just sent her to kneel and kneel is already a small punishment and a big commandment, if the prince protects her again today, how will the concubine govern the family in the future?"

"Lord Wang. Mo Ziyu lowered her eyes and said softly, "It is the concubine who made a mistake first, and the punishment of the second lady is to implement the family rules, and the prince has always rewarded and punished clearly, so there is no need to break the rules for the concubine, and the second lady is not good to do." ”

Liu Xu was silent for a moment and said: "This time is different from the past, the injuries on the seventh lady's body are not light, and the night is heavy, and she has been kneeling here, and her body can't stand it. ”

"Since the prince said so, what else is there to say about the concubine. The second lady said with a sneer.

Liu Xu hugged Mo Ziyu and walked a few steps, then turned around and forgot to glance at the second lady: "This king is asking you to find out the assassins hiding in the palace, but this is not to make the people of the Qi Palace's palace panic, this matter is over, don't let innocent people get involved." ”

The second lady stiffened, took a step back unsteadily, and asked Lily of the Valley beside her to hold on, until she saw Liu Xu holding Mo Ziyu's figure disappear completely, she said with a white face: "What does the prince mean? I do this with all my heart and soul for him, for the sake of Qi Wangfu, why is he accusing me now? Does he think I am ruthless? Does he think I am willing to do this? Who am I doing this for!"

Lily of the valley persuaded: "The prince is just confused by the Seventh Lady now, he will understand your hard work, Madame." ”

The second lady's people stopped Qing Ling, but they didn't prevent Lu Qiao, a little clever ghost, and immediately ran to the door to wait for Liu Xu to come back.

When the people of Qiushui Garden saw Mo Ziyu being carried back, they thought she was injured, and they all rushed around.

Lu Qiao hurriedly sent everyone away, and talked about Qian'er's affairs, preparing to find a few people to take care of Qian'er's funeral together.

Liu Xu didn't let anyone follow up to serve, he put Mo Ziyu on the bed, and sat next to her, letting her legs rest on his legs, and gently massaging her knees.

"Have you ever felt better?"

"Well, it's much better. Mo Ziyu nodded, paused and said, "Qian'er is a very good girl, honest, diligent and righteous, no matter what, she will not be guilty of death." ”

"Don't talk about it anymore if the matter has already happened, there is nothing wrong with the punishment of the second lady in this matter, fornication in private, fornication, and disturbing the palace, it is indeed a capital crime. Liu Xu's face sank slightly, "If you think about the love of the master and servant, it would be good to arrange her afterlife." ”

"Yes. ”

"How's the rest of the injuries on your body?"

"With the miraculous medicine rewarded by the prince and the careful care of the doctor, it will naturally get better very quickly, and it will be recovered in two days. ”

Liu Xu glanced at Mo Ziyu's neck, and looked down through the collarbone, until the clothes blocked the vision: "Although the plaster I gave you has a miraculous effect, it is not an elixir, the scar on your shoulder is too deep, and it will still leave a scar after all, but it is a pity that you have snow-white and transparent skin." ”

He couldn't remember the details of what happened to her after drinking that day, but he vaguely had a profound impact on the clarity of that body.

Mo Ziyu's face flushed: "Compared to saving the prince, what is it to leave some scars." ”

"Anyway, this body is also the king's, so it's good that the king doesn't dislike it. Liu Xu continued to press Mo Ziyu's legs, "This is the first time this king has served someone." How did you feel when you went to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas today?"

"The thousand-year-old temple, naturally is extraordinary, go out to breathe, the mood is a lot more peaceful, the fourth lady is really very good at studying Buddhism, can discuss the Tao with the host, the host of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is a monk!

"You have never been out of the palace, but you know a lot of things. Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "Is there anything else?"

"Anything else? There's nothing particularly interesting. Mo Ziyu's eyes rolled slightly, and he secretly wondered, did he know about the fourth lady's encounter with her first love?

"Really?" Liu Xu had a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to ask rhetorically.

Mo Ziyu was even more shocked in his heart, what does this King Qi mean?

If he knew something, why should he ask himself, would he test his loyalty, or would he not know anything but want to deceive himself?
