Chapter 14: Szeto Man-sook (2)

Situ Wenshu knelt on the side, she was trying to calm herself, and Empress Li of Xia Guo was sitting there, scolding Wen Shu, just because Wen Shu had been getting closer to Princess Qingle recently.

Queen Li's scolding is a little unpleasant, in addition to belittling the character of Concubine Yu Guifei and the King of Dongjun and Princess Qingle, she also scolded the people of Qi Realm, and even Queen Yue Ying, who had been praising her before, was also criticized by Queen Li this time, mainly scolding Queen Yue for having no way to teach her daughter.

For these words, Wen Shu could only pretend not to hear them, every time Queen Li scolded Queen Yue, Wen Shu always wanted to jump up and refute, but she did not forget that before leaving Lihu City, Changhu Bay, Queen Yue told her, that is, to endure, endure all scolding, and act when the opportunity arises.

"That's what Hongu said! Did you hear it all? Empress Li said coldly.

"Wen Shu is clear, the queen's scolding is reasonable, and it is Wen Shu's fault." Wen Shu lowered her head and responded softly, but in Wen Shu's heart, she had long wanted to scold Queen Li, but when it came to scolding, Wen Shu would be short of words, after all, she was born and raised in Qijing Lihu City, which is known for her vocal music and elegance.

"Queen Mother, I looked at the girl and said that she was wrong, but this eye is full of dissatisfaction, in the eyes of the slave, it takes some criminal law to make her really know her mistake." After meeting Empress Li for the first time, Wen Shu, who spoke, got to know her, this malevolent woman was called Ying Xin, and she was Empress Li's confidant maid.

"Hmmm......"

"Queen Mother! Wen Shu really knew that she was wrong! As soon as she heard about the torture, Wen Shu immediately panicked, which is no wonder, after all, she is only a fifteen-year-old child.

"Queen Mother, look, this girl is panicked, this proves that she has a ghost in her heart!" Ying Xin said with a smile, looking like she would not abuse Wen Shu and would not give up, Wen Shu raised her head and glared at her angrily, but this obviously made Ying Xin more proud.

Queen Li looked at Wen Shu, and then at Ying Xin, who seemed to be a little hesitant, and Ying Xin saw that Queen Li hesitated, so she immediately came to Queen Li's side, and whispered in Queen Li's ear, and Queen Li nodded again and again, which made Wen Shu even more afraid, she looked around, but how could the people around her have someone who could help her, and Wen Shu also saw that Empress Li's inner servant Deshun was looking at her coldly, Wen Shu bit her lip, and stopped begging for mercy, just waiting for bad luck to come.

"Deshun! You go and take the needle and prick her finger at Hongu! Queen Li said coldly, which made Wen Shu instantly shed a cold sweat, she hurriedly looked at Queen Li, and then looked at Ying Xin, who was standing on the side and laughing, Wen Shu knew that such a vicious punishment must have been proposed by Ying Xin, this hatred, Wen Shu wrote it down.

"Deshun! Can't you hear what Hongu says? When Queen Li saw Deshun standing there, she didn't act, so she started a fire, Deshun saw this, why did she kneel down and salute, and Yingxin, who was standing on the side, looked confused, she couldn't imagine why this Deshun dared to disrespect the queen's order, not to mention Yingxin, even Wen Shu, was full of surprise, Wen Shu knew that this Deshun had always had a bad face for herself.

"If you go back to the queen's mother, this punishment is useless." Deshun knelt down, bowed his head, but said calmly.

"Good you dog minion! How dare you disobey the orders of the Queen's mother! "Queen Li hasn't spoken yet, but this Ying Xin started the fire first, in fact, usually, Ying Xin and Deshun have a good relationship.

"Weichen is a eunuch, not a minion." When Deshun said this, he raised his head and looked at Ying Xin coldly, which made Ying Xin suddenly shudder.

Empress Li frowned, Deshun has always been obedient to her orders, how could she dare to disobey herself this time for the sake of a girl in Qi realm, which made Empress Li puzzled.

"Then tell me, why can't you use this punishment?" Empress Li said coldly.

"There are two reasons, one is that the son-in-law Wen Shu is the daughter of King Qi, and this time entering the palace is a major event for the royal family, if she is punished harshly, I am afraid that it will cause disputes between the emperor and Qi, and then the emperor will blame it, but it is Zhou Guifei who is proud." Deshun said softly, which made Queen Li swallow a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

"You go on!" Empress Li still said coldly, but Wen Shu could hear that Empress Li's tone was no longer so steady.

"Second, the daughter-in-law Wen Shu is promised to His Royal Highness the Prince, if you let the daughter-in-law Wen Shu be injured, I am afraid it will cause a conflict between mother and son." Speaking of this, Deshun immediately kowtowed, and then waited for Empress Li's verdict without speaking.

Empress Li frowned and thought about it, and Wen Shu knelt there, looked at Deshun, who was also kneeling, looked at Queen Li in thought, and finally saw Ying Xin, who was staring at herself, Wen Shu really couldn't think of where she offended this maid, why did she look like she wanted to rectify herself.

"Then you say, what should I do? This girl ignores my warnings, and must be punished, or where is the majesty of the lord of my harem! Empress Li asked De Shundao again, obviously unable to make up her mind.

"Yes, the punishment is certain, Weichen suggests, ten strokes of the rod is enough." Deshun knelt there and said softly.

"Spanking alone is not enough! It's too light! The slave suggests fifty palms! Ying Xin immediately rushed to say, with an ugly look, Wen Shu immediately forgot the rules, straightened up and glared at Ying Xin angrily.

"Queen Mother! Look at this girl's attitude! Seeing this, Ying Xin immediately blamed Wen Shu.

"Then slap your mouth!" Empress Li was also a little impatient.

"Queen Mother! Never! These fifty palms, how can the son-in-law Wen Shu still speak! Deshun was also anxious.

"The queen mother has spoken to you......"

"Enough! Twenty in the palm of your mouth! Yingxin, you come to execute! ”

Queen Li interrupted Ying Xin's words in disgust, Ying Xin saw that Queen Li was angry, and she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she picked up the board handed over by other maids, and walked towards Wen Shu proudly, Wen Shu saw Queen Li sitting aside, and didn't dare to look at it, just a person sulking there, she looked at Deshun again, Deshun looked at her coldly, as if the plea just now had nothing to do with him, but Wen Shu saw the dissatisfaction in Deshun's eyes.

"Stinky girl, you should know today, in this harem, who is the most useful to speak." Ying Xin said proudly to Wen Shu, looking like a winner.

"Of course I know, it's definitely not you who counts!" Wen Shu whispered in Ying Xin's ear, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, Wen Shu is still the daughter of King Qi in the end, and she will never compromise when she encounters persistent things, this is where her integrity lies.

"Smack!"

A board slapped directly on Wen Shu's face, Wen Shu held back her tears, gritted her teeth, her cheeks suddenly turned red, accompanied by a hot pain.

"Humph! Cheap girl! This board is light, and the next board hits your mouth, and you know what it hurts! Ying Xin smiled proudly.

Ying Xin raised her hand and clenched the board, Wen Shu saw this, she had to close her eyes, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never be in pain, and she would never be soft.

"I see who dares to continue the torture!"

Suddenly, there was a sound, and Ying Xin's board was thrown away, she hurriedly knelt down, all the maids and eunuchs present knelt down, and Queen Li hurriedly stood up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The people present shouted out together, and Queen Li immediately greeted her, with a smiling face, while the crown prince Xia Shang frowned, looked at his mother, and then glared at Ying Xin angrily, Ying Xin lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at the prince at all.

"Wen Shu, get up, get out of here with me." The prince walked to Wen Shu's side and subdued Wen Shu, Wen Shu looked at the prince, the prince's concerned look made Wen Shu secretly happy, saying that it has been some time since he entered the palace, but there are not many opportunities to get along with the prince, although there is a marriage contract, but it is thousands of miles away.

After the prince helped Wen Shu up, he caressed his cheeks that were reddened with care, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Although my face hurts, my heart is warm." Wen Shu said with a slight smile, although her cheeks hurt even more hotly when she laughed, Wen Shu didn't even wrinkle her eyebrows.

The prince looked at Wen Shu gently, then nodded slightly, and then he looked at the eunuchs and maids present with a cold face, especially Ying Xin who was kneeling on the ground.

"The Queen Mother! Wen Shu is the wife who made a marriage contract with me, and I hope that the queen mother will not be lynched in the future! The prince said word by word to Queen Li, Queen Li just said yes again and again, and after that, the prince took Wen Shu's hand and left here.
