Zhou Youlin sat up abruptly and turned his head to look to the side. At this time, the naked palace maid beside her also woke up, looked at him with wide eyes, and hurriedly pulled the thin quilt in a panic to cover her slender and trembling body.

Zhou Youlin's pupils constricted, and he instantly understood what was going on. He paused slightly, then clenched his fists and said, "Who made you here!" ”

The palace maid covered herself tightly, and her teeth chattered a little in fright: "Yes...... It's the sixth master...... Let the slave and maid come and serve the king. ”

"Waiting?" Zhou Youlin smiled coldly when he heard this, don't look over, and no longer look at her: "Get out of here." ”

The maid did not dare to defend herself, and ran out in her clothes.

Xiao Dongzi, who was waiting outside, hurriedly ran in: "Master, are you awake?" ”

Zhou Youlin shook off the curtain tent, put on his own clothes, and scolded: "You dog slave, don't you want to live anymore." ”

Xiao Dongzi shook his shoulders, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave should be damned!" This is all what the sixth master meant, the slave did not dare to disobey, and besides, the prince was drunk last night...... I'm unconscious. As he spoke, he glanced up at the messy bed, thinking of the palace maid who had just fled in a panic, and a hint of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Zhou Youlin really felt very good in his heart, and immediately walked out, found Zhou Youwen, who was leisurely drinking tea, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up: "You dare to calculate me?" ”

Zhou Youwen was taken aback by him, he didn't expect his reaction to be so big, and he smiled deliberately: "Fourth brother, why are you so angry?" How? Didn't the palace maid serve well? ”

When Zhou Youlin heard this, without saying a word, he directly punched him in front of him, so that he immediately lost a back molar tooth and vomited blood.

"Fourth brother, ......" Zhou Youwen covered his mouth and retreated again and again, so painful that tears flowed out.

Zhou Youlin punched him, but he was still angry, kicked him to the ground again, stepped on his back and said: "I hate others calculating me the most in my life!" Sixth, I've put up with you for a long time, you don't know what to do! ”

Zhou Youwen snorted in pain on the ground, and the blood in his mouth was even more endless, and the eunuchs were so frightened that they retreated one after another, running out of the house all the way, thinking that they had to find the imperial doctor quickly.

With the anger that he had endured for a long time, Zhou Youlin beat Zhou Youwen firmly, beating him to the last time crying for help, looking very embarrassed.

When the imperial doctor arrived, news also came from Zhaohua Palace. Prince Xian Zhou Youlin and His Royal Highness Zhou Youwen didn't know why, and the two of them fought fiercely.

Murong Qiao just passed his birthday yesterday, and he received the emperor's favor. When she woke up in the morning, after sending the emperor away, she returned to the couch to catch up on sleep. Unexpectedly, the little eunuch hurriedly came to report that something had happened in the East Fourth Institute.

Murong Qiao frowned when he heard this: "Why did the prince want to beat the sixth master?" ”

"The minions don't know. But...... The prince beat him so hard that it is said that even the imperial doctor invited him to treat the sixth master's injuries. ”

Murong Qiao sat up slowly, his expression slightly displeased: "Hurry up and send a message to the past, let the prince come to see the palace." ”

Although Zhou Youlin is occasionally a little impulsive, he is not a manic person in the end. Today's incident, Zhou Youwen must have done something out of the ordinary to annoy him.

Zhou Youwen had a tooth knocked out, and his face was also blue and swollen, so Zhou Youlin threw him to the imperial doctor and took Xiao Dongzi to Zhaohua Palace.

Murong Qiao saw that the back of his hand was broken, and immediately said angrily: "What is it that deserves you like this?" ”

Zhou Youlin knew that the palace people around him would tell his mother about yesterday's incident sooner or later, so he simply didn't want to mention it, but said: "That kid was stumped by me and deliberately wanted to calculate me." ”

Murong Qiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he said sharply: "He calculates you?" You're his biggest supporter. ”

Zhou Youwen is a master who is not popular in the front and harem. His mother is just a concubine who has been snubbed by the emperor for many years, with a humble background and no power. As for himself, he is even simple-minded, with well-developed limbs, and knows nothing but eating, drinking, and merrymaking.

In the past few years, Zhou Youwen's life has been leisurely, all because he is Zhou Youlin's follower. How could he not know what to do and do something that annoyed Zhou Youlin.

Since the prince didn't want to mention more, Xiao Dongzi had no choice but to kneel down and step forward and tell Murong Qiao what happened last night briefly and concisely.

Murong Qiao was stunned at first, but soon, her face returned to normal, and she said lightly: "It's just a palace maid, and it's worth your anger." ”

In fact, since she knew that Zhou Youlin liked Meng Xilan, she had the idea of choosing a concubine for him. Helplessly, I couldn't find a suitable candidate. Among the princes in the palace, he is the most clean and self-conscious, but the people he cares about in his heart should not be worried. Therefore, if you can find an obedient and docile person to relieve him of his boredom, it is not a bad thing.

Zhou Youlin's eyes sank, he was not just angry, at this moment, his heart was full of uncomfortable chagrin, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Erchen thinks she is dirty!" ”

Murong Qiao knew that his son loved cleanliness, and he disliked the rudeness of the palace maid, in fact, she also minded, in case it was a person who was not clean, wouldn't it be troublesome? So, she immediately instructed the eunuch beside her: "Go and bring that palace maid to the palace." ”

Zhou Youlin frowned: "Mother, what else do you see her doing?" Hurry up and send the palace to forget it. ”

In fact, he basically can't remember what happened last night, let alone those confused things.

Murong Qiao saw that he was so upset, so he said, "You go out of the palace and go back to the house first." The matter of the East Fourth Institute, the mother concubine will take care of the aftermath for you. ”

Zhou Youlin stood up with some hesitation, and before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Mother, don't let Meng Xilan know about this matter." ”

He didn't want her to know, whether she cared or not.

Murong Qiao's expression was slightly displeased when he heard this: "Do you care so much about her thoughts?" You are you, she is her, and no matter what you do, you don't need to explain to her! ”

Although, she once said that she had no objection, he liked Meng Xilan's matter, and could even help him with advice. But to be honest, she always has a little mind in her heart, and she minds that in Zhou Youlin's heart, everything comes first to Meng Xilan.

Zhou Youlin saw that his mother was so straightforward, and he was speechless for a while.

After a cup of tea, the eunuch of Zhaohua Palace led the trembling little palace maid to Concubine Ning's side. "The slave maid asks Concubine Ning to say goodbye, the mother is a thousand years old."

Murong Qiao glanced at her coldly, saw her head down, and said lightly: "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”

The palace maid raised her head tremblingly when she heard this, revealing her pure and beautiful face.

He looks fairly clean, he is not very old, and he looks like he has not been in the palace for a few years.

"What's your name?"

"Hui Niangniang...... The slave maid is named Ruizhu. ”

"Ruizhu ......" Murong Qiao felt that this name was not bad, put down the teacup, gently rubbed the mouth of the cup with his fingertips, and continued to ask lightly: "Ruizhu, this palace asks you, you served the prince to sleep yesterday?" ”

Rui Zhu stiffened when he heard this, and lowered his eyelids as if he was evasive, and nodded yes.

"In that case, let's examine the body a priori."

As soon as her words fell, the palace maids waiting around her moved, pressed Ruizhu to the ground, and were about to take off her clothes directly.

Ruizhu was terrified, and begged for mercy again and again: "Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!" ”

Murong Qiao smiled lightly, extremely cold: "What are you afraid of?" Isn't this palace going to do anything to you? Just want to see if you're clean. ”

Rui Zhu didn't dare to cry, so she could only bite her lower lip desperately and let Mama check for herself.

The grandmother in the palace is the most sophisticated, she only needs to look at it to know if it is her first time, and then she went to Murong Qiao's side and whispered back: "Niangniang, this girl's body was indeed broken yesterday." ”

Murong Qiao nodded lightly, and then ordered, "Then bring the medicine." ”

Ruizhu sat on the ground, in front of a group of eunuchs and palace maids, put on his clothes with tears, and then knelt on the ground again, hanging his head and crying silently.

After a while, the grandmother came over with a thick black and bitter decoction and sent it directly to her, and said in an unkind tone: "Drink it." ”

Ruizhu was shocked again, thinking that this was a decoction that killed her, and immediately cried: "Niangniang spare her life, slave maid...... The slave and maid just obeyed the orders of the sixth master...... Niangniang, you will spare the slave maid's life. ”

She never expected that her fate would be so miserable. Yesterday, when the sixth master pushed her over, he also told her in her ear: "As long as you can serve the prince well, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future." ”

Rui Zhu believed it, but unexpectedly, the prince disliked her, and Concubine Ning still wanted her to die......

Murong Qiao looked at her crying and weeping, shook his head slightly, and said, "Good and dignified, what are you afraid of?" Did Hongu say he was going to kill you? This is a decoction of contraception, drink it, and it doesn't hurt if the prince leaves a seed in your stomach. ”

Zhou Youlin has not yet married, and the matter of the heir is naturally not in a hurry. Moreover, she is just a little palace maid, even if she is pregnant, she is a humble concubine and useless.

Ruizhu stopped crying, took the medicine bowl with trembling hands, and hesitated to speak.

The grandmother behind her urged her with cold eyes: "What are you rubbing?" Hurry up and drink it, so that the mother can rest assured. ”

Rui Zhu nodded, and honestly drank the decoction, not daring to leave a drop.

Murong Qiao smiled slightly: "Well, this is obedient." ”

Rui Zhu returned the bowl to Mama with both hands, and looked at Murong Qiao with teary eyes, wondering how she was going to send herself? Well, for last night's sake, send her to the prince's mansion.

"How long have you been on an errand with the sixth master?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's been three years...... Ruizhu was assigned to the East Fourth Institute as soon as she entered the palace, because she was white and good-looking.

"It's been so long." Murong Qiao groaned slightly, picked up the tea bowl again, and said lightly: "Since you have been with the Sixth Master for so long, there is no reason for this palace to let you go out of the East Fourth Institute, in the future, you will continue to stay by the side of the Sixth Master and do things in a down-to-earth manner." After speaking, he instructed the palace maid beside him to show her a reward: "This is ten taels of silver, you can take it." ”

Rui Zhu took the silver in a daze, didn't understand what Concubine Ning meant for a while, and said with wide eyes: "Niangniang...... The slave maid can't follow the sixth master anymore...... The sixth master has already given the slave to the prince......"

She has lost her innocence, even if she returns to the sixth master, she can't count on it...... Not to mention, when you leave the palace in the future, you won't even be able to find a decent person.

Murong Qiao looked at her with a disappointed expression on her face and sneered, "What? Do you still expect this palace to let you follow the prince back to the house? Hahaha......"

As soon as her words fell, the grandmother beside her spat out: "Bold things, you are also worthy of them!" The prince is just warming your bed, do you really think you have the ability? ”
