The rain was falling before I could get back to my room, but luckily I was fast enough to get some sporadic rain on my body.

In order to prevent a cold, I changed into clean clothes, and asked the kitchen for a large bowl of ginger soup to drink.

The thunder roared, and the heavy raindrops hit the freshly sprouted leaves, crackling. I felt a little sleepy, so I went to bed to catch up on my sleep. When I woke up, the rain had not stopped, but it was much quieter than before.

I stretched, my mouth still closed, and there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" I asked.

"It's me, Aman!"

"Wait a minute." I put on my clothes as fast as I could, and then gently opened the door, and I saw that Aman's clothes were already half soaked by the rain, and he was followed by several smiling boys.

I hurried them into the house, and Aman took out a few dice from his bosom and put them on the table, seeing that he was going to gamble in my room.

There is a rule in the palace that strictly prohibits all kinds of gambling, but in private the maids will often get together to gamble, just because the wages in the palace are too low, and these are all thanks to the king of leisure.

I can't think of why he is so stingy when he is so rich, just like the landlord in the past, who owns mountains of gold and silver, but is only willing to give a few cents to the peasants, it seems that he is not only of bad character, but also a completely bad landlord!

I hesitated in my heart, thinking that the King of Joy should not come over at this time, and looked at the dice and felt itchy in my heart. I lost this kid several times last night, wouldn't it be too shameless if I didn't win it back, so I nodded and agreed.

Several times in a row, I lost terribly. Looking at the money bag getting more and more deflated, the more sad my heart became. I thought it was probably because the room was too stuffy, so I slipped out to get some air by going to the hut.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, Aman had already caught up from behind, and he pulled me into a corner, and told me that the snake that had been put into my room last night was the idea of all the concubines, and that it was rare to see them so bitterly enmity.

Although I have given up on the idea of fixing them, I think that if I don't teach them a lesson, I am afraid that I will have a lot of trouble in the future.

I heard Aman mention again that the mastermind's concubines were all afraid of snakes, and with a roll of his eyes, he leaned down in Aman's ear and whispered a few words, Aman felt very relieved about my thoughts, and he was not used to the usual style of those women, thinking that it would be good if he could let them restrain themselves.

When we returned to the room, we saw that the King of Joy had been sitting on a wooden bench at some point, he was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and the people around him were kneeling on the ground, and they were extremely quiet.

I knew it was bad, I held my breath, slowed my steps, and silently turned around to escape from the scene of the crime, and when I managed to get only one step away from the entrance of the hospital, the demon still found me.

"If you dare to step out of this courtyard today, everyone present will have to bury you."

I was stunned, turned around and asked silently and reflexively, "Is that also you?" As soon as the words fell, everyone took a sharp breath of cold air, and I also gasped, and hurriedly rushed to him, and said with very unproductive tears: "Lord Wang, the villain is joking with you, don't take it seriously." ”

"Get out!" With a roar, everyone was gone. Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid as to think that he would let me go, so I could only kneel on the ground and wait for his verdict.

"Did you know that gambling in the palace is a capital offense?" I watched as his slender index finger flexed slightly, tapping on the tabletop with a click.

"Yes."

"Do you know that no one who ignores the king's orders will end well?"

"Yes."

"Do you know that there is a limit to the king's patience?"

"Yes."

"Good! Then how do you say the king should punish you? He leaned down, didn't make any movement, and stared at me with deep eyes that were neither happy nor sad.

"According to the rules of the royal palace, he shall be flogged." I also looked at him fearlessly, this time it was indeed my fault, even if he wanted to beat me to death, I had no reason to refute it.

"Good! This king has fulfilled you! He suddenly pulled me into his arms and bit me the lips, the sharp pain suddenly ran through the nerves of the whole body, I grabbed his clothes tightly, I didn't know what he wanted to do, I could only push him hard.

"Hmm—" I frowned at the eyes that were close at hand, and he was staring at me thinly. I saw the painful look of myself reflected in his eyes, small and bright.

"Let go of me!" I pushed his sturdy body hard, but instead of being pushed away by me, he bit harder, until the smell of blood came from each other's mouths, and he pushed me to the ground, glaring at me viciously, "Remember, you owe this king a life!" He slammed to his feet, and the stool fell to the ground with a thud. He stared straight ahead, walked around my body, braved the drizzle, and left the house without looking back.

I sat on the floor and wiped the place he had just touched with my sleeve until I felt a little red and swollen. My eyes were red with anger, and hatred that I had never felt before rose in my heart. King Xiaoyao, you wait for the old lady, one day I must take your head off and kick it as a ball!

Although he didn't punish me for this, I did know that he had flogged several others. When I ran to the execution site, my eyes were dark red with blood. The men on the ground were lying motionless on the ground, and Aman was still being whipped on a wooden frame, and he had fainted, covered with bloody wounds.

"Stop!" Seeing that the chamberlain's boots were about to swing down, I hurriedly ran up to block Aman's face. With a "snap", I still heard the sound of the whip exploding on my body, and I was in a cold sweat and shivering.

"The prince has an order to interfere with the death of the executioner!" As he spoke, he glanced at a man next to him, who immediately came over and stretched out his hand to pull me outside.

I grabbed the wooden frame, protected my body in front of Aman, held back the wounds on my body and shouted: "I also have a share of the gambler, if you still want to beat him, unless you beat me to death first!" ”

When the man was willing to listen to me, he saw that I was so stubborn, and with a stroke of the whip, he pulled my hands off the wooden frame, and let two strong men drag me out of the courtyard.

The sound of whipping in the courtyard sounded again, I listened to the sound of skin and flesh, looked at the two strong men standing in front of me and refused to let me in, I knew in my heart that it must be the meaning of King Xiaoyao, my eyes glared and stomped my feet, turned around and ran in the direction of Ling Mo Pavilion.
