Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Old Man

The familiarity passed by in a flash, like quicksand between the fingers.

Looking back suddenly, there is only a blank space.

Ying Baoyue has retrieved most of her memories, but only one memory.

She couldn't think of anything.

At this moment, the sound of the palace maids trembling came from the ground.

"Your Highness, you ...... Where have you been? The slaves and maidservants will not be able to find you......"

"Why don't you make a noise when you come back, slaves and maids can go and greet ......"

"Your Highness, how did you get this dress......

"Your Highness, you can come back, the slave maid is going to tell the captain, let the captain, tell your majesty......"

In the name of the proclamation, several palace maids got up and ran quickly to the hall, so that the other few who got up slowly had to be secretly annoyed, and the fat palace maid who originally started knelt on the ground, glanced at the thin female official who was trying to turn over and want to bow down next to the pillar, and looked down at Ying Baoyue, who was still holding her hand on the pillar, and a trace of emptiness crossed her eyes.

"Your Highness, Lady Yao, she is not serving well, and the slave maid is angry for a while, and she wants to ...... for you"

"Teach her a lesson for this palace?" Ying Baoyue came back to her senses and looked at her lightly.

Under the moonlight, the young girl's eyes were very faint, but they seemed to penetrate people's hearts and make her spine cold.

In that gaze, the fat palace maid who was kneeling on the ground and secretly beating her leg with one hand was stunned.

It wasn't the princess she was familiar with, always looking left and right.

Everyone in the palace knows that Princess Baoyue is used to being a good master, especially afraid of those old women in the palace, as long as the palace people have a loud voice, the little princess will have no idea and will be so panicked that she can only be at the mercy of the palace maid.

But at this time, looking at the girl who was holding the pillar in front of her and would quietly walk behind them, the fat palace maid felt for the first time that the rumors in the palace before might be false.

She even felt that if she said the wrong thing, she would die here.

"Slave maid...... Slave maid ......" The fat palace maid trembled, instinctively lowered her head, "Slave maid is just ......"

"Your Highness...... Just now, His Royal Highness ...... "At this moment, a weak voice sounded, and I saw that the thin female official carefully put the brocade bag on her waist first, and then leaned down to bow down.

Ying Baoyue's gaze lingered on the bag on her waist for a moment, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart.

The next moment, she retracted her gaze, looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and Ying Huyue said lightly, "The lynching in the palace, Qin Lu has his own judgment." ”

The palace maids who were kneeling on the ground trembled, and looked up at Ying Baoyue in disbelief, "Your Highness, ...... you"

This princess is going to leave the palace tomorrow, and it stands to reason that no matter what happens, it is impossible for them to make a big move, how can they dare to be so indulgent today......

Why did you mention Qin Lu?

It's been a long time since anyone in this palace heard the word Qin Lu.

The unfavored concubine can be trampled on by the palace maid at will, and the palace people in the womb of the favored concubine can beat people to death at will, but they are just carried out and buried.

Where is Qin Law?

"Your Highness......" The thin female official on the ground held the bag at her waist, raised her head and looked at the girl standing by the pillar in a daze.

"With your rank, you could have dealt with them yourself, Lady Yao." Ying Baoyue looked at her and spoke quietly.

"Thirteen."

The woman who was called by the other palace people as Lady Yao was shocked, and she instantly understood what the number was.

This is the number of palace ladies who have just surrounded her.

The other palace maids on the ground trembled, and the fat palace maid who hit the head looked at the little princess in disbelief.

There was chaos just now, and many people ran fast, but no one expected that this girl would remember everyone at a glance.

"The law is clear, the virtuous must not be taken away, the strong must not invade the weak, and the people must not be tyrannical."

Ying Baoyue took off the earrings in her ears, put them in the palm of Female Official Yao's hand, and spoke quietly in the woman's trembling gaze, "Qin Law Page 49, Eighteenth Jane, you decide for yourself whether to punish them." ”

After speaking, she turned around and walked to the Taishi Palace, stood at the door of the hall and looked back at the female official wearing a brocade bag, "Come to my dormitory when the matter is done, I have something to ask you." ”

……

……

The distant horizon is already white.

Lady Yao limped into the dusty but finally quiet Taishi Palace, and looked at the girl sitting on the gravel and wood with her knees crossed.

The whole hall was empty, and when she entered, she knew that the girl had left everyone out.

In the faint light before dawn, looking at the unusual girl, the middle-aged woman was in a trance for a moment.

"You're here," Ying Baoyue looked at her, "is it done?" ”

Lady Yao woke up like a dream, and immediately knelt down respectfully, holding the turquoise earrings in her palms with both hands and raising them.

"Thank you, Your Highness, it's done."

After a pause, the woman replied, "It's all in accordance with the laws of Qin." ”

There is not a hint of weight, nor a hint of lightness, nor a hint of revenge.

Ying Baoyue had already received a special summons from there to ask her opinion when the woman left the palace lawyer's office.

It seems that this is clearly the first time that such an impartial and unbiased jurisprudence has been encountered.

After all, if the nobles in the palace are really offended, even if it is just a drop of stain on their beloved clothes, it is enough to be punished to death.

Since the second emperor, it has been like this, and there are nobles who want to stand up for the palace maid but let them follow the laws of Qin?

I haven't seen it in ten years.

Ying Baoyue jumped down from the pile of bricks and tiles, walked to Female Officer Yao, picked up her palm earrings and put them back on her ears, and then said quietly.

"Get up. In the future, there is no need to kneel if there is no major event, and it is inconvenient to speak. ”

Inconvenience?

Lady Yao looked up in confusion, but she still got up and saluted again, "Your Highness, may I ask you that you said you were looking for a slave before...... It's ......"

Ying Baoyue found a stone again and sat down, looked at the woman in front of her, her gaze slid slightly to her waist, and the next moment the female officer who noticed her gaze visibly became nervous.

"You have to protect you when you were beaten before, what is this? Will you tell me? ”

The originally respectful female official bit her lip, and there was a struggle in her eyes, "Your Highness, this is not a valuable thing, just a ......"

It's stubborn.

I'm afraid that even the emperor can't take this life-threatening bag from her.

Ying Baoyue looked at her and smiled, "If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it, this palace has no intention of stealing people's privacy." ”

"Your Highness......" Lady Yao raised her head in a daze.

She was really not used to using this kind of self-title, and Ying Baoyue finally decided to give up this kind of self-title in private.

"I want to ask you, how many years ago did you enter the palace when you were old, and in which palace was you on an errand at that time?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Lady Yao was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it seriously and said, "Your Highness, the slave maid entered the palace fifteen years ago, when she was nine years old, as for where to be an errand ......" The woman lowered her head in shame, "When the slave maid first entered the palace, she was just a rough palace maid who sprinkled and sweeped. ”

Ying Baoyue understood.

There is no fixed place for the palace maids, and they are responsible for the dirtiest and most tiring work in each palace, so they naturally can't be called an errand in the palace, and they can't even see the nobles.

No way...... What is the big intersection with the county lord?

"Your Highness?"

In the long silence, Lady Yao secretly raised her head, but looked at the girl in front of her and was stunned for a moment when she heard the words.

Ying Baoyue was stunned when she heard this, and the next moment she looked at the emaciated female officer in front of her, took a deep breath and spoke.

"There's something I'd like to ask you about."

"Would you like to go to Nanchu with me?"

……

……

It was dawn and the long night was over.

In the morning light, a guard of honor had been set up in front of the gate of the former Qin Palace, which was not a mighty but barely passable one.

In front of the Ganlu Palace, Ying Hanri was dressed in a Xuan robe and a crown of heaven, while the hundred officials behind him wore a high mountain crown, a law crown and a martial crown, wore robes and ribbons, and solemnly looked at the girl standing in front of the young emperor.

The solemn dress couldn't cover the dark circles under Ying Hanri's eyes, and the man in front of him looked at Ying Baoyue and said slowly.

"When you get married today, I hope to take the well-being of all the people as my responsibility, teach my husband and children, and marry the former Qin and Southern Chu for a hundred years."

She's a real responsibility.

Ying Baoyue, who was dressed in heavy clothes, looked at him quietly and saluted.

"The courtier's sister is gone, I hope the emperor brother will take care."

"Hmm," Ying Hanri nodded with satisfaction, looking at Ying Baoyue's figure and turning away, there was a moment of relaxation in his eyes, but the next moment he seemed to remember something, and suddenly took a step forward.

"That's right."

"Wait."

Ying Baoyue stopped, why, there was something I forgot to say in such a solemn farewell ceremony?

"There's one thing I need you to know."

Ying Baoyue turned her head and saw Ying Hanri behind her looking at her with a complicated expression.

"You should know that Ying Xun is also in Nanchu, he will probably come out for a few days this time in the Nanchu Junior Ceremony, you and him have always been at odds, don't provoke him, if he comes to provoke you......"

Ying Hanri paused and said, his eyes were cold to the bone, "Don't entangle with it." ”

Ying Baoyue was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded, "Sister Chen remembers." ”

Ying Xun......

Ying Baoyue looked up at the rising sun in the sky, and her expression was a little complicated when she heard the name.

No matter what happened, how could she bother with him.

After all, Yingxun......

It's her son.
