Chapter 63: Punish Xiaoshuang
When they entered the main hall and looked around, they found that the frost waiter Ji was sitting on the redwood chair at the bottom of the stairs wrapped in red fox fur with heavy makeup, and the whole person was as gorgeous as fire, with her head raised and her face arrogant and indifferent.
Shen Mushi sat behind a few cases in a azure robe, with no emotion between his eyebrows, clear and cold. Holding the dragon pattern jade hao is working hard to write, and no one knows what to write.
Hearing the eunuch in the inner hall shouting, "The crown princess enters the palace", he raised his head and glanced at her.
"The concubines see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose." They both bowed to him.
Shen Mushi bowed his head and motioned for her to be flat.
She's lost weight again..........
How did the minions of Liuyun Hall do their errands, and did they recuperate their bodies and bones!
Shen Mushi took a deep breath and suppressed the fire, and then opened his mouth lightly: "Give a seat." β
Li Chuntang hurriedly ordered someone to move the sandalwood chair covered with goose feather upholstery, and led them to sit next to Shen Mushi.
Shuangshuang also happened to be wearing an azure wide-sleeved dress today, embroidered with a wide belt of gold chrysanthemums to stretch out her slender waist. The makeup is plain and elegant, and the rouge is slightly red. There is no jewelry on the satin-like black silk, only the crown princess is worn on the top of the hair, with the light in the palace refracted, the gold powder is sprinkled, and it looks light and spirity, pure and dust-free.
Xiao Shuang looked at the azure robes and Shen Mushi invariably became a pair, only to feel extremely dazzling. The appearance of the immortal who is not contaminated with the world makes Xiaoshuang hate it even more, she always feels that Lu Shuangshuang's dress is deliberately satirizing her, one is the fairy cloud in the sky, and the other is the mud on the ground, which is out of reach.
Both sat quietly, Shen Mushi was still immersed in writing, Xiaoshuang also turned his head to look away in a daze, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange for a while.
Everyone didn't dare to look up, and they stood down like quails with their heads down, and they didn't dare to come out.
The whole hall is as quiet as a forest buried in deep snow, and there is no sound at all, only the sound of Shen Mushi's ink pen and Danqing writing brocade silk.
After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Mushi finally put down his pen, raised his eyes to look at everyone, and asked coldly, "Have they confessed?" β
Li Chuntang, who was next to him, hurriedly presented a pile of accusations with his fingerprints pressed, and then said cautiously: "Your Highness, this is evidence of the crime and the drawing." β
"Read it out, and let them die for a moment."
Shen Mushi didn't take the stack of papers, and closed the fold in his hand by himself.
His palms were distinct, and his movements were slow and dignified, but everyone could hear the crisp and cold sound of the fold being closed.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Chuntang replied crisply, turned around and picked up the indictment and began to read it: "Cha, the six people who served the princess, Rong'er, Feng'er, Ming'er, Ting'er, Xun'er, and Hua'er, were greedy for money and silver, and were instigated by traitors, and even took advantage of the prince's birthday banquet to replace the palace maid of Liuyun Palace, intending to drug and murder the princess, according to the palace rules, the rod was killed!" β
"Check, the palace maid Zhenzhen did not fulfill her responsibilities, causing the princess to be frightened, according to the palace rules, the rod was punished for twenty, and she was sent back to the sixth bureau."
"Check, the palace maid Xiaoli has hidden evil intentions, enters the dining room without authorization, and according to the palace rules, she will be whipped twenty."
"Check, the palace maid Xin'er defied the palace rules and collided with the prince's holy face, according to the palace rules, the staff was twenty. Repatriated to the sixth bureau. β
"Check, the frost waiter is jealous by nature, she is confused, and she listens to the palace maid's slander and murders the crown princess, so she should be killed with a cane. Reading, the frost servant has served the prince for many years, and his heart is pitiful, and his sentence is commuted, and he is reduced to a cane of forty years, and he is reduced to a maid, and he is cut for three months. From now on, Hanxian Hall will be sent out and confined to Beizhu Courtyard, and no step will be allowed within half a year. In addition, the crime of trespassing by wearing the palace dress of the crown princess without permission will be punished by 20 years. A total of sixty boards were punished. β
Reduced to a maidservant, with sixty rods.......
Xiaoshuang shivered.
He didn't want her anymore.
She has committed too many things, and the piles are enough to make her peel and cramp to set an example, although the prince did not order the cane to be killed, but how can she stand the sixty boards?
This is clearly for her life.
Your Highness is so ruthless!
If you want her to die, just say it! Why torture her like this!
When Xiao Shuang looked at Shen Mu in the hall with resentful eyes, the resentment in his eyes seemed to turn into a sharp blade and stabbed at Shen Mushi.
Shen Mushi leaned back on the seat, supported his chin with one hand and looked at everyone with a cold face, his eyes were always indifferent, and he didn't even want to look at her.
Those who were sent down struggled to beg the prince for mercy, but their mouths were blocked and they could only keep kowtowing, and for a while, the sound of heads hitting the marble floor in the hall came and went one after another, and the banging sound kept coming, and they were terrified and frightened when they heard it.
Especially Xin'er's reaction was the most intense, struggling desperately, eager to break free from the rope and rush to Shen Mushi's side.
I was forced!
I don't want to leave the East Palace!
Your Highness! I am your man, Your Highness! Why are you so ruthless!
Xin'er kept making a voice to justify, but the cloth gagged her mouth and babbled, everything was in vain.
Xiao Shuang looked coldly at Xin'er at first, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she found that there was another thing that Shen Mu had not yet found out, and if it was found out, she would really die.
She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to cry, took out the embroidered handkerchief, pressed the corner of her eye, and hid the smile under her eyes.
As long as you're alive, everything will turn around......
She peeked at everyone's reactions, Xin'er's emotions were the most excited, and she tried her best to lean up, but she was pressed to the ground by the eunuchs with sticks.
She decided not to intercede anymore, this time she saw very clearly, once His Highness made a big move, he must not be disobedient, and disobeying him is looking for death.
Sure enough, Shen Mushi frowned and said coldly: "Drag all of them out of the East Palace and kill them, don't dirty my eyes here." β
The cold eyes swept to the remaining cadres and others, and said slowly: "If the lord is loyal, the lord will not treat him badly, and if there is a heart of betrayal and deviation, they are your reference." Whoever tries to intercede for them will be punished with their tongues plucked! β
These words were extremely fierce and violent, and everyone was silent for fear of provoking fire.
A group of eunuchs surrounded and dragged them all out, Xin'er still struggled to turn back frequently, and inadvertently met Shen Mushi's cold look, the killing intent made her stunned.
Her face was like ashes, and she completely understood that she was delusional, and His Highness had not looked at herself from beginning to end, how could he accept her as a maid?
She knew that if she continued to make trouble, she would only lose her head, and her body was weak and she no longer struggled, and let the two eunuchs drag her out.
After a while, Shuangshuang heard a slight wail in the distance, the council hall was fifteen zhang away from the East Palace, and the howl could still be heard, which showed the weight of the hand.
Shuangshuang sat beside Shen Mushi, clearly feeling his fierce breath, his body trembled slightly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
When Li Chuntang read out the charges just now, they both heard it clearly, she was drugged.
She was the one who suffered, but she didn't even know when the medicine was given, and if it weren't for His Highness's presence, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She couldn't help but feel afraid, and secretly blamed herself for being too naΓ―ve and defenseless. Although the crime does not specify what kind of medicine it is, but His Highness has found out, then this matter is ironclad.
These people are everywhere, and she can't help but worry: they have the audacity to use such a means against her, which shows that there are people behind them, and this time they escaped by luck, so what kind of medicine will it be next time?
There was also that little pear, she had never seen it at all, but she easily drank the ginseng porridge she handed over, and if someone wanted to poison her, it would be easy.
There are so many people in this palace who want to harm her, who should she believe?
Just when Shuangshuang was worried about his future life, Shen Mushi glanced sideways at her and said lightly: "Crown Princess, the birthday banquet has passed, and you should also do the matter of the frost waiter." β
Both of them met Shen Mushi's cold eyes, and their hearts tightened. Sure enough, he just wanted to pull himself into the water, the person Xiaoshuang loves is His Royal Highness, but he hates himself, he is really a thief.
She saw it clearly just now, there was no trace of pity in Shen Mushi's eyes, he could dispose of such a pampered woman casually, what about her?
I can't care so much, let's deal with the current level first.
Shuangshuang made up his mind, forced himself to calm down and gave orders in a trembling voice.
"Come, take off the robe of the frost attendant, and beat the forty-buttocked staff."
Unexpectedly, the palace people below passed the buck to each other, and no one dared to go over, only a few eunuchs from Liuyun Hall got the order, rolled up their sleeves and walked towards Xiaoshuang.
Shen Mushi frowned slightly, didn't speak, and looked at Shuangshuang to see how she responded.
Seeing this, both turned pale and didn't know what to do.
Shen Mushi's cold eyes swept over everyone, and he slowly spoke: "None of the people in the Liuyun Hall are allowed to move. β
When they both turned their heads to look at Shen Mu, they saw his cold expression of displeasure, and then understood what he meant.
She took a deep breath and shouted:
"This palace ordered, you dare not obey! It's not clear who is the master? Do you have to send the palace back to the sixth bureau to be willing to remember it for a long time!"
For the first time, everyone saw the crown princess lose such a big temper, and the prince knelt down to plead guilty, and shouted forgiveness in their mouths.
A few bold palace maids were ordered, and walked towards Xiaoshuang with a cold face.
All this fell in her eyes, and she couldn't help sighing: It seems that you still have to be stricter, cultivate a few more henchmen, otherwise if something happens, you won't even have a capable minion........
Shen Mushi's frowning brows finally eased, and his eyes softened a little when he looked at Shuangshuang.
The palace maids were escorting Xiaoshuang to the spring stool and reaching out to peel her fox fur, when Xiaoshuang suddenly raised her arms to stop them.
"Wait!"
Xiaoshuang's eyebrows were raised angrily, and a weird smile floated as she stared at Shuangshuang: "The concubine remembers that morning, the crown princess said that she was guilty of the same crime as the concubine, but now, does it still count?" β
Shen Mushi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaoshuang, with a look of appreciation on his face: If Xiaoshuang was not from a humble background, it could be regarded as a manufacturable material, and if she died, she would have to drag her back, a bit like a harem concubine.
I was secretly looking forward to Shuangshuang's reaction, and I didn't know how she would respond.
Shuangshuang was indeed a little surprised, she didn't expect Xiaoshuang to die and not forget to deal with herself.
She put this matter on the table in front of everyone, she is a dignified crown princess, so naturally she can't flatly deny doing that kind of thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs. If she wants to be powerful, she must keep her promise to convince the people in the palace.
If she didn't admit it, there were a lot of palace people present that day, and I am afraid that she would not be able to hide it if she wanted to.
The words of self-punishment are said by herself, Xiaoshuang is mentioning this now, she wants to suffer with her, if she fights back, if Shen Mu wants to favor Xiaoshuang, will she die even worse?
