Chapter 550: Chewing the Root of the Tongue

Qi Cheng stood quietly behind the layers of bouquets, he wanted to hear what these palace maids were discussing.

The little eunuch standing behind him was already sweating in his palms.

"Have you heard? Qi Chengyan, the fourth prince of Beiyan, has returned. An emaciated-looking woman said.

"Naturally, I heard about it, and this matter is in an uproar, how can I not know." Some people say that there are people who should make peace.

"I think it's pretty good, our four princes have been in such a remote place for so long, and now they must have made a contribution to coming back like this!" The emaciated woman continued.

Her eyes were bubbling with bubbles, and she seemed to be very happy.

Qi Cheng'an looked at it in the back, and gritted his teeth even more resentfully at this time, so damn when is Qi Chengyan coming back, it's not good, but he wants to come back at this time?

He hasn't taken care of his emotions yet, and it's no wonder that he has been hiding his strength all these years, if he finds some signs to pop up, he won't let these palace maids belittle themselves.

Just as Qi Cheng'an was thinking about this, several palace maids began to talk again. "Don't say it, I really like the fourth prince, I liked him before he left."

The palace maids glanced at each other, and the meaning of the ridicule was very obvious. "Come on, you Xiaojuan, you haven't entered the palace at that time, and what are you saying about admiring the four princes, you will joke here."

The princess named Xiaojuan was full of shyness, covered her cheeks with her hands, and said very embarrassedly: "My fair lady, good gentleman, I like such a capable and responsible person, what's wrong?" Besides, I think he's much better than that. ”

"I think, Xiaojuan, you can have a snack, this is in the palace, if some people hear it, then these people will lose their heads."

Xiao Juan shook the handkerchief disapplauded, quietly picked a peony flower, and pinned it on the palace maid's head, "Xiao Ling, what are you afraid of?" It's all a few of us here, and besides, the emperor is very busy. ”

Qi Cheng'an stood behind and became more and more angry the more he listened, and now the little eunuchs behind Qi Cheng'an couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads, these little palace maids were also bold, they were so blatantly chewing the root of their tongues here, really when their prince was dead, didn't he?

The meaning of these little palace maids is that they feel that the fourth prince Qi Chengyan is more capable, isn't that belittling their prince?

quietly glanced at Qi Cheng'an's expression, and found that Qi Cheng'an's face was sinking badly at this time, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he shuddered, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Qi Cheng'an whispering to himself.

"These little palace maids are very eloquent, bring them out, and the prince will interrogate them well!"

The little eunuch sighed in his heart, this is a big disaster, let you talk more!

However, on the surface, he still nodded, and walked over honestly, "You little palace maids, don't pick flowers there, we have something to ask." ”

Several palace maids glanced at each other, and a trace of panic flashed on their faces that were more delicate than flowers.

The little eunuch flicked his sleeves and drove forward, not looking at the looks of these little palace maids.

They naturally knew that they had caused a big disaster, and in this palace, there were strict palace rules, and they were not allowed to discuss the royal people wantonly.

They not only discussed it today, but they came to discuss it so presumptuously, the point was that someone was caught and present.

Immediately, he followed the little eunuch out tremblingly, and he was indeed wondering which palace person heard it.

If it was a concubine, it would be good for them to ask for mercy.

But when they saw Qi Cheng'an standing there with a calm face, the faces of several little palace maids changed greatly.

All of them couldn't even walk steadily, Qi Cheng'an chuckled, seeing this appearance, he was a little impatient.

"You little palace maids, don't you pick flowers there properly, what are you discussing? Why don't you talk to Prince Ben? Qi Cheng'an was smiling, but his voice was extremely gloomy.

Immediately, these little palace maids knelt down in panic.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, and the slave knows that he is wrong."

Qi Cheng'an glanced at the eunuch behind him, and said slowly: "If this prince is not mistaken, I think, this wanton discussion of the royal family is going to be connected by the nine clans, right?" ”

These fluttering words frightened these palace maids even more, in fact, that Xiao Ling and Xiao Juan, the two of them opened this topic, if Qi Cheng'an really has a heart, then the two of them will really be connected to the nine clans.

How could they not be afraid of the big event of beheading, and immediately cried one by one like something.

"The prince spares his life, the slave and maid don't dare anymore when they know that they are wrong, His Royal Highness the prince is so brave, please spare the slave's life!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid really know that it is wrong, please don't involve the slave and maid's family!"

The crying made Qi Cheng feel irritable in his heart, originally he had some unwillingness in his heart, he had been in obscurity for so many years and it was too late to reinstate his name, so suddenly there was an inexplicable Qi Chengyan who came back from the border, how could he make him feel good in his heart?

At this time, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said to the guards behind him: "Stupid minions, you are doing this kind of work!" ”

The guards were a little confused by what Qi Cheng'an said, but the little eunuch next to him was a discerning one, and walked forward and said to the guards around him: "The master's meaning is to ask you to take these two palace maids down." ”

What exactly are going to be done with these palace maids, it goes without saying.

The guards didn't dare to move, after all, Qi Cheng'an didn't really speak, if it was on this kind of joint, if he crossed Qi Cheng'an himself, it was estimated that he would be severely punished.

Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, the eunuch was so anxious that he had no choice but to come over in person to ask for instructions.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, these two palace maids, how do you think they should be punished for causing such a disrespectful topic?"

The prince looked at the three or four palace maids kneeling at the bottom with a little impatience, and he also knew in his heart that the two had not spoken much.

Irritably, he flicked his sleeves and dropped two sentences, "Chewing the root of the tongue is a big disrespect, not to mention that the two of them are talking about our royal family, so if they commit such a crime, they must be punished well, and they have no merit and hard work in the palace, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped!" Take it with you! ”

"Your Highness spares your life, the slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and the maid will not dare anymore!" They didn't know what was waiting for them, and looking at Cheng An's expression, they only knew that they would not have good fruit to eat.

Qi Cheng'an's brows were relaxed, and some people had to continue to chew the root of their tongues!
