Although the Nanli Imperial Palace is not as good as the Forbidden City of my life, it is also solemn and magnificent.

Enter the outer city of the palace and sit in a soft sedan chair instead. I walked by the rules. I was curious about the appearance of this Nanli Palace, but I knew that the rules of the palace were strict, and I couldn't look around as a maid, so I suppressed my curiosity.

Not long after entering the inner city, Ling Nian got off the soft sedan car and walked instead. I followed behind him in silence. didn't take a few steps, but I heard a delicate call: "Brother Niankong!" ”

Ling Niankong's footsteps paused, and he followed the prestige. With my eyelashes still drooping, I continued to play the role of a maid on my side, standing beside him.

I looked down at the ground and saw a pair of pink and purple satin embroidered shoes.

"Brother Niankong!" The voice of the person who came was like Yinling, mixed with the immaturity that had not completely faded.

What a girl with a budding spring heart!

"The minister has seen the ninth princess." Ling Nian bowed empty, his tone was full of respect, but it was also detached from the body and mind.

Hearing this, the ninth princess immediately sank her voice, and there was a hint of loneliness in her words: "Brother Niankong, I have already ordered someone to go to the mansion to spread the word, and I want to see you, why do you repeatedly shirk it?" ”

I laughed in my heart, these nine princesses really don't know how to hide their hearts at all. But also, she is the princess, what she wants, she should only need to say a word, she can get it, and she feels that Ling Niankong should accept her.

"The princess has lost her minister, and the minister is from a humble background, how can she afford the princess to be called a brother? Moreover, the princess is noble, if the minister is called to the palace, wouldn't it tarnish the princess's reputation? ”

His words were earnest, but I heard a chill: Huh! This Ling Niankong pretends to be serious, and there is really a set.

Hearing this, the ninth princess seemed to be very aggrieved. "Didn't we say yes last time? When you and I are alone, I call you that, don't you forget? ”

Ling Niankong was noncommittal, and put on a difficult posture.

I really didn't expect Ling Niankong's acting skills to be so good. Thinking of the picture of him calling for wind and rain in Lingfu and no one daring to disobey, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart: No matter how powerful you are, you are just a minister, don't you still have to bow your head when you should bow your head?

After a moment of thought, I continued to think: If I want to get rid of his grip on me, why not find someone more powerful than him to be my backer? And with my modern wisdom, if I think about it, I will be appreciated. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get excited in my heart: Ling Niankong, you wait, wait for me to find someone you dare not offend to clean you up!

"Or can't you trust the maid next to me?" The princess spoke reproachfully.

I came back to my senses and continued to watch the excitement.

"The princess's people, how dare the minister question it."

"Oh? That's my brother, you can't trust your attendants? ”

Before the words fell, I felt a gaze fall on me, and I stood still, letting her watch.

"When did Brother Niankong order the maid to accompany him? I remember that my brother always disliked the service of maids, and he was always surrounded by men, didn't he? The Ninth Princess seemed to be extremely surprised.

Without waiting for Ling Niankong to answer, the Ninth Princess continued: "You raise your head and let me take a look. ”

I sighed in my heart, slowly raised my head, and looked at a pair of sparkling but slightly gloomy almond eyes, and under the high bridge of my nose were cherry lips with a slight smile, and my appearance was very sweet. Sure enough, it was a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old!

"With such a posture, you dare to follow your brother's side?" The ninth princess was furious

When I heard this, I didn't get angry at all, but became curious. I haven't seen what Ling Niankong's face looks like after changing my face for me.

"But just a cheap maid, I hope the princess won't be angry." Ling Niankong's words were calm and unwavering.

"That's it. For my brother's sake, this princess doesn't care about you. The elder brother must have been summoned to the palace by his father, or he should come to see him quickly, so as not to be blamed by his father. ”

"Thank you for your mercy, and the minister will retire."

I had just taken a few steps with Ling Niankong, and then I heard the princess's voice call again: "Wait! ”

She stepped forward a few steps forward and said, "There are some things in my palace that I want to give to my brother...... she said, she glanced at me and continued: "Please also ask my brother to send someone back to the palace with me to get it." ”

Ling Niankong's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but the ninth princess snatched the conversation: "Luan Yi has a heart, my brother Hugh wants to resign." When he had finished speaking, he motioned for me to follow, and then turned and left.

I was helpless, glanced at Ling Niankong, and saw that he didn't have any special expression. Thinking that I couldn't cause trouble, I sighed to myself and followed.

After about a quarter of an hour, I followed the nine princesses to a temple. Follow the group into the hall and into the main hall.

The ninth princess, Yue Luanyi, sat upright in the courtyard and took a seat, and lightly opened her lips: "Qi Xiu go and bring the things." There was no trace of coquettishness in the tone, but arrogance that could not be concealed.

"Yes!" A maid stepped back.

Yue Luanyi cast a gaze at me. "What's your name?"

"Xuan'er." I took it in stride.

"Xuan'er?!" There was a hint of anger in her tone. "Brother Kong'er gave you this name?"

I feel helpless in my heart, this is my name, okay?! But I felt puzzled in my heart: The original owner's name was Leng Qingqian, why did Yue Luanxi and Ling Niankong call her Xuan'er? Could it be a milk name?

However, looking at Yue Luanyi's reaction, I think she also knows about Ling Niankong and the original owner.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Yue Luanyi got up and walked in front of me, and the index finger of her right hand picked up my chin. I was speechless, but I didn't dare to act rashly.

"You're worthy of it?!" She shook her hand in disgust, trying to turn around, but suddenly stopped.

I was puzzled, but suddenly I felt as if something had been ripped off my waist, and I hurriedly looked down. I saw Yue Luanyi's left palm stretched out, and there was an embroidered purse lying in his palm, embroidered with a pair of colorful butterflies. And the jade hand holding the purse was trembling slightly. Apparently she had just ripped it off my waist, but I had never seen it, and I didn't know when she had brought it with me.

"You...... You, you dare to steal the purse I gave to Brother Niankong to wear it yourself! What a daring! Yue Luanyi's furious voice echoed in his ears. Before I could figure it out, I was caught by two eunuchs, one left and one right, and I secretly complained in my heart.

"Send her to the Shoji Division!"

"Yes!"

I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, although I didn't know where the Zhengji Division in Yue Luanyi's mouth was, but I also knew that it was not a good place.

I was anxious but couldn't do anything. At this moment, I saw the big palace maid named Qixiu next to Yue Luanyi, and I didn't know what to say in her ear. I saw Yue Luanyi's eyes flashing, as if he was afraid.

The two eunuchs were about to drag me out, but they only heard Yue Luanyi say coldly: "Slow, if you want to punish a shameless maid like her, don't bother the ministers of the Discipline Division." Send her to the Heavenly Pavilion, and wait for this princess to come up with a way to punish her! ”

"Subordinates obey!" The two eunuchs who had captured me answered in unison and dragged me out. I know that even resistance is futile, so I don't struggle uselessly. As long as Yue Luanyi doesn't move me for the time being, I will have a chance to come up with a way to deal with it.

Nanli is really not small from the palace, and it took more than half an hour to be taken to the so-called Heavenly Pavilion. Although this place is called "pavilion", in fact, there is no pavilion, just a courtyard. However, this courtyard is quite large. Before entering the hospital, there were endless cries for mercy.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I smelled a foul smell mixed with blood, and I tried to cover my nose but found that my arms were still grabbed, so I had to frown and endure. And the scene in front of him is even more terrifying: rows of long wooden benches are neatly placed in the courtyard, and on the wooden benches are lying on the inner servants and palace maids. The red-lacquered planks fell on them again and again, beating out a dull rhythm and splashing with blood.

My heart was completely cold, presumably this was the place where Nanli Imperial Palace punished his subordinates. Will I end up in the same fate?

When he saw us enter, a eunuch about thirty years old dressed in ochre-red dark stripes greeted us, and his voice was very impatient: "Which palace is this?" ”

One of the eunuchs who grabbed me cowardly responded: "The little one is the inner servant of Anle Palace, and he handed over the sinner girl Xuan'er to the adults on the order of the Ninth Princess." ”

"What did she do wrong?" The older eunuch was still careless.

"My lord, the sinner girl Xuan'er stole her master's things for her own use."

The old eunuch finally glanced at me. "It turned out to be theft. Someone comes, cut off his hands according to the law, and send them to the comfort camp! ”

My heart jumped: it was really a dark feudal society, and the lives of the subordinates were like mustard. But what is that comfort camp? How can I help myself?

Before I could think about the result, the other eunuch who grabbed me let go of me, took two steps forward with courage, and said timidly: "My lord, the princess wants to personally deal with Xuan'er and send her here, just hoping that the lord will take care of her for the time being." ”

"Oh?" The older eunuch rolled his eyes. "Did the princess really tell you that?"

"It's true!"

Hearing this, the older eunuch looked me up and down with a very strange expression.

Why is he looking at me like that? Could it be a psychopath? My heart was furious, but I heard him say, "In that case...... Come! Keep her locked up with that sick woman for the time being! ”

"Yes!" Two people in the courtyard responded and stepped forward to drag me. The two little eunuchs from before were relieved.

He was dragged forward again and entered the third courtyard. The door in the middle of the courtyard was locked. One of them unlocked the door, pushed me inside, and slammed the door shut and locked. I smiled wryly, what a familiar scene!

I struggled to get up from the floor and found that it was a dormitory, divided into an inner and outer room. The outer room is quite large, separated from the inside by a dark colored gauze curtain, and the gauze curtain is not only one layer, it is very thick, and the inner room cannot be seen clearly. I walked to the soft couch not far from me and sat down, and I couldn't help but think of a countermeasure:

Yue Luanyi didn't punish me for the time being, presumably because she was afraid that I was Ling Niankong's person, and she didn't want to destroy her image in Ling Niankong's heart because of me, but she couldn't get angry that I was wearing that purse, so she sent me here......

Pouch? When exactly did you bring that purse on you? I think about it for a long time, but I don't remember it at all. Could it be that when Ling Niankong sent someone to change my clothes, one of the maids wore it for me? Alas, why am I so careless, I don't even know when the purse was put on my body. Maybe the person who wore this purse for me was the real thief, and he wanted to cause trouble!

I couldn't help but sigh again, I was really unlucky! This is good, I can't get out for a while, and Ling Niankong's bastard will definitely not come to save me, is it possible that I really want to let that arrogant princess fall?

In the confusion of thoughts, I suddenly heard a low murmur from within. I was shocked: there are people in this room?!
