Then, their army marched back to Beijing.

However, Zuoqiu Xuhe still left 10,000 elite soldiers to guard Shiyuguan, afraid that the Wasu clan would make a comeback when they returned to Beijing, and the guard was Xiao Fengfeng's younger brother, Xiao Xunying.

After more than 20 days, I arrived at Kyoto, Akijo in Nishigi Province.

Ye Xi entered the palace, and when she arrived, it caused an uproar. People who know her say, isn't that a waste queen? How did you enter the palace with Your Majesty. People who don't know her say that His Majesty brought back a stunning beauty from the battlefield, and she was very spoiled, which made the concubines in the harem jealous.

Ye Xi has been living in Zuoqiu Xuhe's dormitory, Zichen Palace.

As soon as Zuo Qiu Xuhe came back, she was busy dealing with the accumulated government affairs, except for every meal, she rarely saw her figure in the past two days, but this is also very good, at least a lot quieter, mainly because Zuo Qiu Xuhe is too clingy, so she is almost annoyed to death by him, and it has finally been quiet these days.

Ye Xi was too bored, so he went to the Imperial Garden to hang out.

followed by four maids and four eunuchs, as well as Xuanzhu on his side, his external identity was that Zuoqiu Xuhe sent to protect him, after all, this harem is not suitable for foreign men to enter.

Although it has been autumn for a long time, this imperial garden is still infinitely beautiful and beautiful.

Ye Xi looked at these flowers of different colors, many of them were not supposed to bloom this season, but this was the palace, and it was not strange to see these.

Ye Xi looked around in the garden, turned to look at Xuanzhu, and talked to him, "Ah Zhu, look, those poppies are so beautiful!" And where are those bunches of impatiens! Xuanzhu looked in the direction she was pointing and nodded.

At this time, a group of women came to the past, led by a woman wearing a red peony flower, and they were also admiring this group of flowers, and in this way, the two sides bumped into each other.

The other party's sharp voice asked sharply, "Who!" The one who doesn't have long eyes! The women behind her were dressed equally richly, and when they saw that she was about to fall to the ground, and no one helped her, they all stepped back, for fear of crushing themselves.

So the woman fell, Ye Xi was fine, and was helped by Xuanzhu, who was quick-eyed.

After Xuanzhu was helped, he immediately saluted, "Miss, the subordinates are rude!" ”

Ye Xi shook his head, "It's okay!" ”

As for the woman, she was helped up by the close-fitting ring behind her.

After the woman stood up, she tidied up her clothes and glanced at the concubines behind her, as if to say, look at how I will clean you up in the future!

Then, with no one in her eyes, she looked at Ye Xi with surprise and jealousy on her face. Surprised by her beauty, and equally jealous of her beauty.

Her tone was proud and complacent, "Presumably you are the woman who was brought back by His Majesty!" You hit Hongu, apologize to Hongu! ”

This woman is the minister of the DPRK and the central government, the little daughter of Prime Minister Zhang, Zhang Yuxiu, who has been noble since she was a child, so she has developed an arrogant personality.

Ye Xi glanced at her, looking at her appearance, she was okay, but she didn't expect to be so brainless.

Ye Xi glanced at her with disdain, then turned his head behind him and looked at the palace maid beside him, "Ziling, Zixuan, how did I hear a swarm of flies arguing in my ears?" Did I hear me wrong? She also deliberately pretended to be innocent and looked at the two palace maids.

When the two palace maids heard this, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only hold back, which was uncomfortable!

Not only did these words make the two palace maids cry and laugh, but even the others held back their laughter? Especially those women who were lower than her, they all lowered their heads at the moment and forced themselves to laugh.

The prime minister's daughter heard that she was scolding her, and she was so angry that she pointed at her and scolded, "Vixen, shameless, this palace is also the concubine Rong personally sealed by His Majesty, and she is much better than you who are nothing, come on, escort her to this palace, and let her kneel and kowtow to this palace to apologize!" ”

Xuanzhu looked at the other party with a cold face, drew his sword and pointed at her, "I see who dares!" If you want to hurt Miss, it depends on whether my sword agrees or not! ”

Ye Xi gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm.

Xuanzhu stood back to his side, Ye Xi took a step forward, and slapped him with two slaps.

Ye Xi's face was arrogant, she saw that her two personal maids were about to come over to stop her, Ye Xi's sharp eyes made them take a step back timidly.

The woman was so angry that she covered her cheeks and was full of anger, "Slut, you dare to hit this palace!" ”

When Ye Xi heard that slut, her expression was even more aggressive, she slapped her again, and pinched her chin, her face was cold and pressing, "Your mouth is too dirty, I'll treat you!" ”

Looking at such an domineering Ye Xi, everyone was stunned on the spot, and no one dared to go up and pull people.

Ye Xi took out a silver needle, stabbed it directly into her mouth, pierced her tongue, and felt so painful that she wanted to scream, but the other party pinched her mouth, and the screaming sound turned into a whimper, and she was stabbed by the needle and burst into tears.

I saw that a trace of red appeared on the other party's tongue, and it was pricked with blood at a glance.

Ye Xi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be satisfied, "I want to try to prick my eyes and see if my needles are fast enough, you say, how?" What she said was as relaxed as talking about the weather today, but it frightened others, especially Zhang Yuxiu in front of her.

I saw that her face was pale and frightened, she didn't have the arrogance just now, and there was no one in her eyes.

Ye Xi saw that she was afraid of being like this, raised her eyebrows lightly, looked arrogant, threw her off, she stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, Ye Xi walked to the stand-in, stepped on one of her hands with one foot, and crushed by the way, only to see her arrogant posture, like a queen, "Remember, only others kowtow to me to apologize, not for me to admit my mistake and kowtow!" Zhang Yuxiu shouted in pain, and her other hand wanted to remove Ye Xi's foot, but the pain made her lose her strength at all.

She let go of her hand, looking at the hand that was red from her own trampling, she guessed that it had hurt her bones, she squatted down, took out a dagger from her calf, and took the dagger to play with her face, intimidating her, "You said that I carved a butterfly on your face, wouldn't it look good!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu was so frightened that she begged for mercy, "Don't, I'm sorry, it's all my fault just now, I apologize, I'm sorry, please, don't scratch my face!" ”

Ye Xi sneered, "I know that I begged for mercy now, but it's a pity that it's too late!" ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the dagger, and the knife fell sharply, and in less than half an hour, a bloody butterfly appeared on the right side of her face. The whole process was terrifying, and the concubines were frightened and retreated, and as for those palace people, they were also frightened, and they couldn't stop retreating into the distance.

Ziling and Zixuan, who were behind her, saw such a terrible scene for the first time, carving beautiful butterflies on people's faces, what a perverted and torturous method. After getting along in the past few days, they felt that the woman in front of them was amazingly beautiful and soft-tempered and indifferent, but today they realized that it was because they had not harmed her, and if they framed her, it was estimated that they would be miserable.

Ye Xi finally withdrew his hand with satisfaction, stood up, looked at the blood butterfly on her face with satisfaction, and couldn't help but admire, "Not bad, not bad, this blood butterfly is much more beautiful than the blood jade carving!" ”

Ye Xi looked at the few concubines who retreated into the distance, "I warn you, whoever dares to provoke me at will, I will make him worse than her!" Ye Xi pointed to Zhang Yuxiu on the ground.

Ye Xi's words made everyone's hearts jump uncontrollably, and their backs were cold.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe here received the news and came to this place, seeing this scene, he walked to Ye Xi's side, took a closer look, and saw that she was unscathed, and then he was relieved.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe's eyes were full of coldness, his face was cold, and the others saluted him, but Zuo Qiu Xuhe ignored others.

He stared at the concubines, staring at them so that their scalps were numb, although they lowered their heads and couldn't see them, but the emperor's kind of non-angry and self-threatening, piercing gaze made their hearts tremble.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe moved his gaze to Zhang Yuxiu's body, and when he saw the blood-red butterfly mark on her face, he was also shocked, not because he felt sorry for her, but because he thought that this woman dared to hurt Xiaoxi, he felt that she deserved it.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe turned his head and pinched her nose, his eyes were full of pampering, his eyes were soft and affectionate, "You little girl, you really have yours, carve butterflies on people's faces, you can't think of it!" ”

Ye Xi hooked his lips and said angrily, "What's the matter, it's distressed?" ”

Seeing that she was angry, Zuo Qiu Xuhe scratched her nose and said with a smile, "How could it be?" I feel sorry for you, what should I do if I hurt myself with a knife? Next time you want to play, remember to find someone to replace you, and don't do it yourself. As he spoke, he kissed her white and tender little hand.

Those concubines, as well as the palace people, were shocked, stunned, and playful when they heard the word in His Majesty's mouth, playing, they were just playthings that His Majesty used to play with this woman, and those palace people heard it, and they were okay in their hearts, after all, they were just lowly palace people, and there was no difference between the playthings they wanted to play.

But those concubines were unhappy in their hearts, and they treated them as toys, how could they be willing?

One of the concubines raised her head boldly, stared coldly at Zuo Qiu Xu and Ye Xi in her arms, and then Chu Chu looked at Zuo Qiu Xu and Ye Xi pitifully, her voice was unwilling, "Your Majesty, the concubine is unwilling, the concubine is your concubine, not a plaything she takes to have fun at will." ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe said coldly with a soft tone, "I said that you are a plaything, you are a plaything, otherwise you would not even be qualified to be a plaything!" ”

After Zuoqiu Xuhe finished speaking, he ordered, "Come on, remove Shuyi's title, demote to a concubine, slap your mouth forty, and throw it out of the palace." To his father, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, he asked him to teach her daughter well, what crime should she be guilty of the following crimes? ”

Then he ordered, "Come here, spread my will, remove the title of Concubine Rong, demote to a concubine, send back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and tell the Prime Minister by the way, confinement Zhang Shuren for a year, if I know that she has been released, then the Prime Minister will not blame me for being ruthless!" ”

The Praetorian Guards escorted the two women and brought them down.

Zuo Qiu Xuhe looked at everyone coldly and glanced at everyone, "Everyone else is scattered!" ”

Ye Xi stretched out his hands and smiled warmly, "Carry me!" ”

Zuo Qiu Xuhe did not hesitate, he squatted down, Ye Xi climbed on his back, Zuo Qiu Xuhe carried him, with a look of love and a spoiled tone, "Xiao Xi, you are light again, remember to eat more!" ”

When Ye Xi heard this, she said dissatisfiedly, "I eat a lot, and you don't know it, but she doesn't grow meat, what can I do?" ”

Those concubines, seeing that His Majesty loved that woman so deeply, in addition to jealousy, envy, and anger, they were only lonely and cold-hearted.
