Hua Mian returned to the palace an hour after leaving the palace, and after meeting Xueqiu near the palace gate, one man and one dog quietly returned to Shuihua Palace.

Hua Mian walked around without seeing anything unusual, picked up the snowball and lowered his head through the courtyard to drill into the temple gate, but when he entered the threshold, he hit a human wall.

Snowballs slipped out of her arms and into the man's arms with a thud. Hua Mian looked up and saw that one of them almost fell. At this moment, she had no intention of reprimanding Snowball, a traitor, only to feel that she had been struck by lightning and that something was wrong with her whole body.

Pei Gongcuo stroked the soft hair of Xueqiu in his arms, glanced at the eunuch costume of Huamiang, and said in a non-waved tone: "Where did you go?" ”

"Walk the dog." Hua Mian blurted out and admired his wit.

Pei Gongcuo nodded: "This dress makes the Burmese concubine more and more beautiful, I don't know how many people's souls will be hooked." ”

I couldn't hear the joy and anger, and I didn't know what he meant, Hua Mian muttered: "The emperor has won the award, and the concubines are just wearing them on a whim to play......"

"Wear it for fun?" Pei Gongcuo's voice was a little colder, "How to play?" ”

"I didn't have much fun." Hua Myanmar's confidence is not authentic. Listening to what he meant, didn't he know that she had sneaked out of the palace?

At this time, I heard Pei Gongcuo say: "Do you want me to tell you how to play?" ”

"Huh?" Hua Mian looked at him in astonishment.

"You can pretend to be a eunuch and sneak out of the palace first, and then change into men's clothes to visit the Qinglou, and when you are interested, you can also flirt with the women of the Qinglou."

Looking at Pei Gongcuo's increasingly ugly face, Hua Mian completely recognized it. She looked into the hall, only to find that there were five people kneeling silently inside, namely Wan Tao, Shu Yu, Xiao Yangzi, Hua Xun and Hua Dui.

He didn't let the entire Shuihua Palace kneel here, thinking because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. But even so, she was still full of guilt, and at the same time she hated that iron could not be made of steel. Why are Wan Tao and Xiao Yangzi so overwhelmed, so much can show their feet. After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, even if she was caught, it was impossible for the emperor to even know what she had done outside the palace. Could it be Pei Yingshi's self-exposed? Thinking about it, I don't think he's so boring. That is being targeted by Pei Gongcuo's people? Alas, it's really pervasive!

"What, I said it, I have nothing to say?" Pei Gongcuo's tone was cold and authentic.

Hua Mian muttered, "I'm just thinking, how can the emperor be so clear. ”

"That's an acknowledgement?" Pei Gongcuo smiled coldly, "You are at ease, who gave you the guts?" ”

Hua Mian had never been afraid of Pei Gongcuo, but at this moment she felt that he was really angry, and the oppressive and cold aura emanating from his body made her shudder. She realized that even if it wasn't for herself, even if it was for the sake of those five innocent people to be saved from the pond fish, she should try to excuse herself, so she said curtly: "I've been in the palace for so long, I just went out to breathe, how could I tease any Qinglou woman." ”

"Heh, you're pretty good at making excuses for yourself." Pei Gongcuo laughed angrily, "Not to mention whether you have molested the Qinglou woman, it is a capital crime for you to sneak out of the palace, where have you learned the rules?" ”

Capital crime? Hua Mian's heart trembled, so a few of them estimated that the emperor would not be spared, right? Thinking of this, she immediately bowed down and said: "The concubine is wrong, the concubine will never secretly leave the palace in the future." ”

"It's late. Come. ”

Hua Mian looked at Pei Gongcuo in astonishment and summoned two guards to drag Xiao Yangzi out, and hurriedly stopped: "What do you want to do?" ”

"As a slave, he knew that his master was misbehaving, not only did he not persuade his master, but he also played for the tiger and pulled out the rod to death."

Pei Gongcuo's words fell, Xiao Yangzi's body suddenly weakened, and he was about to fall, he looked at Hua Mian in shock and grievance, and forgot to ask the emperor to spare his life for a while.

Hua Mian's shock was even worse than his, and she couldn't understand which Pei Gongcuo was singing. If you talk about accomplices, the number one should be Wan Tao, Xiao Yangzi can only be regarded as a coercion crime at most, Pei Gongcuo didn't take Wan Tao to open the knife, but let Xiao Yangzi be a scapegoat, didn't he know that Xiao Yangzi was Zhuang Ziyan's eyeliner and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him? But in any case, this is a living life, if she dies because of her, then isn't she creating killing karma for no reason?

Thinking of this, Hua Mian knelt down and kowtowed: "It's all the fault of the concubine, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yangzi, he was coerced by me." I also hope that the emperor will be gracious and spare his life, and all the blame for the crimes will be borne by the concubines. ”

Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but be stunned, he couldn't imagine that Hua Mian would intercede for Xiao Yangzi when he knew that Xiao Yangzi was someone else's eyeliner, and he couldn't imagine that she would lower her posture so low for such a person. He gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Yangzi can be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped, pull out to beat twenty boards, and drive him out of the palace." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yangzi was about to be dragged out, Hua Mian hurriedly got up and stopped: "What can he do when a eunuch leaves the palace?" The emperor has a large number of them, let him stay in Shuihua Palace, I promise that he will not make any more mistakes, as for the twenty boards, since it is because of me, I am willing to suffer for him. ”

Pei Gongcuo looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time, and then pointed to the four people kneeling in the hall: "Don't tell me, you plan to take the board of those four people for them." ”

Hua Mian's body stiffened, and she looked at Wantao and them, meeting their fearless gaze. She turned her eyes to look at Pei Gongcuo: "They don't know, why does the emperor punish them?" ”

Pei Gongcuo said coldly: "If you have the responsibility of negligence, you will also be punished." ”

"Good!" Hua Mian was ruthless, and said as if he were dead, "If the emperor really wants to punish him, I will suffer it for them." ”

Hearing this, Wan Tao hurriedly said: "The girl doesn't have to be like this, these twenty slaves can still stand it." ”

Shu Yu exclaimed: "Yes, how can Niangniang stand a hundred boards alone?" ”

Hua Dui is different from the two of them, and she has been affected for no reason, and she is inevitably aggrieved and resentful in her heart, and her tone can't help but bring a little indifference and displeasure: "The noble concubine is delicate, how can she let the mother suffer for her subordinates?" ”

Hua Xun coughed and said to Pei Gongcuo: "Your Majesty, it's all your fault that your subordinates are derelict in their duties, and your subordinates should accept these hundred boards." ”

Pei Gongcuo slowly turned around, raised his eyebrows and looked at the few people kneeling on the ground: "I think what Concubine Mian said is reasonable. ”

As soon as the words fell, the four of them shouted "Emperor" in unison, but they were stopped by Pei Gongcuo with gestures: "I decided to let her suffer alone, but not to play the board." Now that I am tired, all of you stand down. ”

Pei Gongcuo said as he put the snowball on the ground, stretched his waist and paced towards the inner room, leaving several people behind him to look at each other.

Wan Tao was the first to react, she got up and said to the stunned group of people: "What should you do, why should you go, the emperor is going to bed." ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something, and hurriedly withdrew from the dormitory.

Hua Dui and Hua Xun jumped on the roof, and Shu Yu pushed Xiao Yangzi, who was still stunned, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and ask someone to boil two buckets of hot water and send them to the emperor and Niangniang." ”

Xiao Yangzi turned his head to look at Hua Mian, who was also stunned, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, and got up and left without saying a word.

"Wait!" Shu Yu called, "You better go and take off your makeup, change your clothes, and I'll tell you about boiling water." ”

Xiao Yangzi looked down, and then remembered that he was still wearing Hua Mian's clothes, so he turned around and retreated in embarrassment.

Hua Mian has been in a state of silence, watching Pei Gongcuo walk to her bed, watching them disperse separately, watching Xiao Yangzi kowtow and turn around to leave.

Wan Tao tugged at Hua Mian's sleeve and said, "Girl, the emperor is so tolerant of you, shouldn't you wait and say something soft tonight?" ”

Hua Mian turned her head to look at Wan Tao, nodded slowly for a while, and said, "I know, don't worry." ”

Wan Tao told again, "Don't touch the emperor's scales again", before retreating.

Hua Mian obediently entered the dormitory, came to the bed with low eyebrows all the way, untied Pei Gongcuo's clothes for a long time, and placed him on the bed, and then knelt down to beat his legs.

Pei Gongcuo sat there and didn't speak, only raised his eyebrows to look at her, and ordered for a long time: "Come and pinch my shoulder." ”

Hua Mian obediently got up and sat down behind him, placing her hand on his shoulder and kneading it gently.

"Push harder."

As his strength increased, Pei Gongcuo's eyes narrowed comfortably while carefully searching for the memories in his mind. When he found out that Hua Mian had never treated him so gently, he couldn't help but feel depressed. He turned around abruptly, threw her down on the bed, and kissed her on the lips with a hint of vent.

When a few little eunuchs came in carrying two large buckets of water, Hua Mian's body was already missing. In a panic, they put the bucket on the ground and fled in confusion.

Pei Gongcuo couldn't wait to take a bath, so he ate the flowers from top to bottom. So this time he was quite restrained, and he didn't keep asking her for contentment, maybe he felt her physical discomfort and restrained it.

It's just that he didn't say a word during the whole process, and it wasn't until he carried her into the bathtub afterwards and personally cleaned her and placed her safely that he kissed her on the forehead and said, "I still have a fold to approve, so I can't come, you have a good rest." Seeing her nod, he smiled lightly and got up to leave.

At this time, Hua Mian slowly sat up and looked under him, only to see a little bright red on the white pants he had just put on. No wonder Fang Cai's lower abdomen throbbed for a while, and it turned out that the monthly letter that had been delayed for half a month came. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, a heart that had been worried for so long could finally be put down.
