Chapter 53: The Great Sin of Beheading
Hearing this, Xiao Ruoxue's face suddenly turned a little pale, she didn't know that this fabric was used to make a canonization dress for Concubine Li.
If she had known, she would have lent her ten dares, and she would not have dared to touch them.
But since everything has been done, of course Xiao Ruoxue can't admit it like this.
"So what? Did you come with this cloth to ask my master for sin? Why should I pour ink on your cloth? ”
Looking at Xiao Ruoxue's rude and willful, hard-mouthed appearance, Qin Kexin was not in the slightest hurry, but just smiled.
"Actually, the county lord doesn't have to worry so much, after all, I just said that I came to ask the county lord to be a witness and look for clues, and the county lord doesn't have to be so anxious to take a seat."
Originally, Qin Kexin still had some doubts in her heart, but seeing Xiao Ruoxue in such a hurry to clear up the relationship, she was a little more sure in her heart, this matter must have been done by Xiao Ruoxue.
Obviously, Xiao Ruoxue also found that she was being tricked, her face suddenly turned pale, she looked at Qin Kexin coldly, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.
"Okay, you Qin Kexin, after you went out of the palace, you have become even more unruly. Do you know what it means to slander princes and nobles? ”
These words fell into Qin Kexin's ears, Qin Kexin was not weak at all, only people who did wrong things would be so eager to prove their innocence, Qin Kexin sneered and looked at Xiao Ruoxue.
"Is it slandering the princes and nobles, it doesn't matter if the county lord said it, but the county lord must be prepared, and the next question I want to ask is related to the reputation of the county lord."
Xiao Ruoxue clenched her fists tightly and looked at Qin Kexin in front of her vigilantly, she felt that Qin Kexin in front of her seemed to be completely different from the previous submissive promise in the palace.
Qin Kexin in front of him had a fierce aura all over his body, as if after being polished by time, he added a calm taste.
At the same time, Xiao Ruoxue also knew that this meant that her opponent had become more shrewd.
"The people's daughter is just doing things on orders, and I hope that the county lord can answer truthfully."
Aunt Mei held a brush and recorded in detail what they had just said.
"If you want to ask, just ask, if you use the method just now to trap me, I will definitely not let you go."
Qin Kexin nodded, and was not angry at Xiao Ruoxue's rudeness.
"In that case, then I'll start asking."
Raising her head, Qin Kexin could see the dense beads of sweat on Xiao Ruoxue's forehead at a glance, and her heart suddenly became a little clearer, thinking that this matter was inseparable from Xiao Ruoxue, so she was so nervous.
"Yesterday, I don't know where the county lord is?"
Xiao Ruoxue rolled her eyes, and pretended to be thoughtful, "Yesterday? What else can the lord of this county do, of course, is to sleep in the room. ”
With such a reasonable answer, Qin Kexin just nodded lightly and did not continue to ask.
"Can anyone prove that the county lord didn't go out last night?"
Raising her head, Qin Kexin's eyes fell sharply on Xiao Ruoxue's body, Xiao Ruoxue suddenly became nervous and felt an aura of oppression.
"Is there still someone guarding the county lord's sleep? You can't help but ask too much, if there is anything important, hurry up and ask, and get out when it's over, people like you are not welcome in the palace. ”
Xiao Ruoxue was so eager to drive her out, which made Qin Kexin a little more curious.
"Actually, the county lord doesn't have to be so anxious, it's just routine for me to ask these things, as long as the county lord answers truthfully, this suspicion will naturally not fall on the county lord's head, but the more urgent the county lord is, the more suspicious I feel."
These words fell on Xiao Ruoxue's ears, and Xiao Ruoxue was naturally shocked when she heard it.
always hated in his heart, but Xiao Ruoxue still didn't have any way.
"Last question, does the county lord know that I am in this palace to make a canonization service for Concubine Li?"
This question was asked, Xiao Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, she shook her head slowly, whether she could be convicted or not, this question was actually not very useful.
Even if you know, so what? Does she have to know that this piece of fabric is used to make a canonization dress for Concubine Li?
So after listening to the last question, Xiao Ruoxue had even more doubts in her heart.
But after a while, Qin Kexin nodded, "Thank you for the county lord's cooperation today, don't worry, county lord, the emperor has always been clear about right and wrong, and he will definitely return the county lord to a clean slate." ”
After seeing Qin Kexin leave the palace, Xiao Ruoxue couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, but the hatred for Qin Kexin in her heart deepened.
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Xiao Ruoxue raised her head and saw the princess with a blue face standing not far away.
Xiao Ruoxue's heart suddenly became alarmed, and it was too late to turn around at this time.
"You kneel for me!"
The princess shouted angrily, and Xiao Ruoxue was so frightened that she stumbled to her knees on the ground, lowered her head, and her face was full of panic.
"Do you know what's wrong?"
Looking at the majestic appearance of the princess, Xiao Ruoxue gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
"My daughter knows it's wrong."
The princess's cold laughter came from overhead, "Do you know that because of your willful behavior, you almost caused a catastrophe, but fortunately, the consequences are not serious at this moment, otherwise you will affect the palace!" ”
Xiao Ruoxue hurriedly lowered her head, prostrate on the ground, gritted her teeth and said in fear, "My daughter knows her mistake, my daughter was also carried away last night, and she was not controlled by her emotions for a while, and she did such a foolish thing." ”
What answered Xiao Ruoxue was the sound of the princess's heavy breathing, Xiao Ruoxue could hear that the princess was not angry at the moment.
After waiting anxiously for a while, Xiao Ruoxue thought that this time she would be able to dodge as easily as before.
No matter how big a mistake Xiao Ruoxue made before, the princess was punished painlessly, and after two days, there was no big deal, she should be hurt and loved, as if Xiao Ruoxue had never done these rebellious things.
But just when Xiao Ruoxue thought that she could hide this time, above her head, she suddenly remembered the cold voice of the princess.
"Someone! Upper family law. ”
Hearing the princess say this, Xiao Ruoxue was suddenly shocked, raised her head, and looked at the princess in disbelief.
Since Qin Kexin left the mansion, Xiao Ruoxue has not been beaten for an unknown amount of time, and as soon as Qin Kexin came back today, she was actually beaten again.
"Mother, Xue'er knows that she is wrong, please ask her mother to spare Xue'er."
Xiao Ruoxue was also scared this time, no matter what, Xiao Ruoxue was a child, and she always had a natural fear of being beaten.
Looking at Xiao Ruoxue's pitiful appearance of begging for her in a wailing voice, in fact, the princess also had the idea of soft-heartedness in her heart.
Just think about it, if Xiao Ruoxue is not educated now, I am afraid that Xiao Ruoxue will cause even more chaos in the future, thinking of this, the princess can only grit her teeth and endure the distress in her heart.
"You kid is too naughty and nonsense, if you don't educate yourself well, I'm afraid you will cause a big mess in the future! Upper family law. ”
At this moment, Xiao Ruoxue was completely desperate, she knew that this matter was not negotiable, but she saw the princess holding a handful of rattan in her hand, and raised her hand and beckoned fiercely to Xiao Ruoxue's back.
A heart-piercing pain spread from her back to her internal organs, Xiao Ruoxue wrinkled tightly in pain, frowned, but bit her lip and didn't dare to say a word.
"Say! Are you wrong? ”
The princess hit Xiao Ruoxue's back with a rattan stick, although this was her own daughter, but the princess still refused to be soft.
The girl in front of her has been arrogant and ruthless by her family since she was a child, so she has no clear concept of right and wrong until now.
The previous months were all inconsequential messes, but now Xiao Ruoxue has gone too far, and splashed ink on the fabric of Concubine Li's canonization.
If this is strictly investigated, I am afraid it will be a serious crime to cut off the head.
Fortunately, the relationship between Concubine Li and the emperor is not very harmonious, and the emperor does not attach importance to Concubine Li, so this does not delay the Qi Palace.
But if Xiao Ruoxue's temperament does not distinguish between right and wrong in the future still not change, and the next time it is splashed on someone else's body, what should the emperor do with it?
The rattan slapped Xiao Ruoxue's back, Xiao Ruoxue didn't know where she got the courage, she refused to open her mouth all the time, and gritted her teeth stubbornly.
Even though dense beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, Xiao Ruoxue still clenched her teeth and refused to say a soft word.
Xiao Ruoqing, who came out of the courtyard, saw Xiao Ruoxue's miserable situation at a glance, and hurriedly ran over to protect her sister.
"Mother, please, let Xue'er go, Xue'er has been weak since she was a child, where has she suffered like this? You should think that Xue'er is young and ignorant, spare her this time. ”
The relationship between Xiao Ruoqing and Xiao Ruoxue is very good, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters envy others.
Under Xiao Ruoqing's plea, the princess could only throw the rattan in her hand on the ground, and looked at the daughter in front of her with hatred.
"When will you learn to know how to advance and retreat like your brother? I get into a lot of trouble every day, and I'm just fine, but now, this stubborn character has not been restrained at all. ”
The princess counted Xiao Ruoxue endlessly, but she didn't see the trace of hatred in Xiao Ruoxue's eyes.
The account of the beating she was beaten today, Xiao Ruoxue of course did not hesitate to count it on Qin Kexin's head.
If it weren't for Qin Kexin, who came to the mansion to sue himself so ignorantly, he would not have been beaten for no reason.
After the princess left, Xiao Ruoqing saw the scars on Xiao Ruoxue's back distressedly, and couldn't help but start blaming Xiao Ruoxue.
"Why are you always so confused, I don't teach you less on weekdays, but why don't you listen to half a sentence?"
On the way here, Xiao Ruoqing heard that Xiao Ruoxue was being beaten at the moment, and the speed at which the servants spread the news was very fast, and after knowing these news, Xiao Ruoqing immediately rushed over non-stop.
