Chapter 12: Humble Perseverance

Xiao Rui, under the guidance of the palace steward, came to a courtyard in a remote corner, and as soon as he entered, he heard a sarcastic sound from the main room.

"It is difficult to prevent thieves! He actually stretched out his dirty hands into the palace! ”

"Is it that with the support of His Royal Highness the Seventh, your hands and feet are not clean?"

"What kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is! Yo, you're still not convinced! ”

"Dare to stare at me with your eyes and look for death!"

Boom...

Then there was the sound of punching and kicking.

Xiao Rui was furious, kicked open the door and rushed in.

I saw Gao Quan tied up with five flowers, cowered on the ground, scarred all over his body, and bruises on his face. The three servants were still beating him, and they stopped when they saw someone kicking the door in.

"Seven... Your Highness the Seven..."

The three of them were so frightened that they almost knelt down, and when they saw the steward behind Xiao Rui, they held back their panic.

"You are presumptuous!" The steward shouted in advance: "It depends on the master to beat the dog, I asked you to lock people up and let you do it?" It really doesn't make sense. I will tell the princess and punish you well. ”

After speaking, the steward smiled at Xiao Rui and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely tell the prince and princess to punish these dog slaves!" Come to think of it, they are also full of righteous indignation, Gao Quan betrayed your trust, ruined your reputation, and was angry for a while, so he taught a little lesson! ”

"Your Highness, the villain didn't steal!" Gao Quan raised his head and shouted, his eyes were so resolute.

"The villain is willing to die, I didn't steal!" Gao Quan didn't cry when he was beaten just now, but now that he sees Xiao Rui, he can no longer bear the grievances of being wronged.

Xiao Rui clenched his fists, and the anger in his heart made him grit his teeth.

"Let go." Xiao Rui's voice was cold.

"This..."The steward hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to wait..."

Syllable!

Xiao Rui picked up his palm and slapped it directly on the steward's face, causing him to stumble and lie directly on the ground.

The steward covered his red and swollen face and froze there.

"One last time, release people!"

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and shouted.

The steward was taken by Xiao Rui's gaze, and shouted in fright: "Release people, release people..."

The three minions hurriedly untied Gao Quan.

Xiao Rui stepped forward to support Gao Quan and asked, "Can you stand up?" ”

Gao Quan burst into tears, trying to keep himself from choking, then nodded vigorously in response, and stood up trembling through the pain in his body.

"Can you go?" Xiao Rui asked.

"Yes." Gao Quanying and Dao.

Xiao Rui turned around and left, and Gao Quan followed.

Xiao Rui went back to his residence first, smashed the four treasures of the study and the jade artifacts that Emperor Xia had rewarded him yesterday, and threw them all into the garden water.

"Your Highness, this... This is a great disrespect! Gao Quan said in horror.

Looking at the blisters on the bottom of the debris, Xiao Rui shouted: "Want to fix me? All right... Walk! ”

After speaking, go to the courtyard where Xiao Feng lives on weekdays and see Cao Wan.

When he came to the crescent moon gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Your Royal Highness, my princess has a life, she is infected with wind and cold, and it is not suitable to see guests." The guards toughened.

Xiao Rui's anger did not subside.

But he also knows that his current ability cannot be unscrupulous.

"Your Highness, I'm fine, let's go back." Gao Quan hurriedly persuaded.

Xiao Rui gave him a reassuring look, and then shouted to the guard: "Go and report it, and say that the treasure rewarded by His Majesty yesterday was lost in Duanwang's Mansion." His Highness's minions searched everywhere and were said to be stealing. Since the princess is sick and the royal brother is not in the house, His Royal Highness will enter the palace to ask for sin. At that time, His Majesty asked, hmph, stealing the things given by the emperor, it seems that there is also a nest of snakes and rats in the Duanwang Mansion. ”

With that, Xiao Rui turned around and left.

The guards blocking the road were sweating profusely, and this matter was going to be caused to Emperor Xia. Damn, it's a big problem.

Several people hurriedly went to find Princess Cao Wan.

Cao Wan was drinking tea, and she arranged everything in the morning, he couldn't get used to seeing Xiao Rui, the Seventh Highness, and let him eat and live, even if he didn't help his husband, he secretly showed off in front of Emperor Xia, which was really hateful.

"Princess, it's not good, it's not good...", the guard asked to see him outside the door.

"What's the noise?" Cao Wan frowned and asked, and the maid beside her hurriedly opened the door and scolded a few guards.

The guard entered the house, knelt in the living room, and said eagerly: "Princess, Your Highness the Seventh claimed that the treasure rewarded by His Majesty yesterday was stolen, and he ordered Gao Quan to investigate and find it, but he was framed for stealing. Now he is preparing to enter the palace to plead guilty, and he also said that there is a nest of snakes and rats in the Duanwang Mansion. ”

"What?" Cao Wan was startled and quickly stood up.

Originally, this matter was occupied by Duanwangfu, and Gao Quan was caught stealing "stolen goods", which made Xiao Rui lose face, and he had no face to make trouble again. But now, under the pretext of stealing the imperial treasure, he fought back and splashed dirty water on Duanwang's Mansion.

Come on, come on, hurt each other.

Is it a big matter for the servant Gao Quan to steal the treasures of the palace, or is it a big matter for the royal gifts to be stolen in the Duanwang Mansion, Xiao Rui is one person who eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, come on, have fun.

Cao Wan was a little flustered and wiped her sweat. She was worried that once this matter reached Emperor Xia, although it was not a big deal, it would also cause him to be dissatisfied with Xiao Feng, and even...

"Go quickly, stop Xiao Rui! No, I'll go personally! ”

Cao Wan roared and ran out.

Xiao Rui really wants to go to the palace to complain?

Of course not.

Duanwangfu is shameless, and he still has face.

He just wanted to vent the evil anger in his heart, so he deliberately slowed down his speed and let Cao Wan chase after him.

"Xiao Rui, seventh brother, seventh brother..."Cao Wan called her name, feeling unkind, and quickly changed her name.

Xiao Rui stopped and looked at Cao Wan, who was panting.

is worthy of being a princess, with a beautiful appearance and a beautiful appearance. But it's this heart that is a little more vicious.

"Seventh brother, where are you going?" Cao Wan asked.

Xiao Rui sneered: "The imperial sister-in-law feels the cold, I am inconvenient to disturb, and the imperial brother is not at home, so I naturally want to enter the palace to ask for guilt, you also know that it is a great disrespect to lose the treasure given by my father." ”

"Since it is a great crime of disrespect, why make it known to everyone, in case it angers Your Majesty, wouldn't it be even worse." Cao Wan explained: "It's better for God to know about this matter, you know and I know, don't bother Your Majesty anymore." ”

"How's that going to work!" Xiao Rui shouted: "This personal servant of mine took advantage of the search for the royal gift to steal the palace and was stolen by the palace guards, which is really unreasonable!" I will tell my father the truth, chop off his hands, I have to ask for punishment if I don't use people well. ”

The corners of Cao Wan's mouth twitched, and she smiled: "Seventh brother, don't worry. The palace guards saw that Gao Quan was sneaking, and they thought he was stealing something, but now that he is looking for something, it turns out that he is looking for something. If it's not stealing, why make a fuss. When it comes to Your Majesty, if you don't use people well, it means that there is a problem with your vision, and if Your Majesty knows, you will be disappointed.

"Then you won't enter the palace?" Xiao Rui asked.

"No, no." Cao Wan smiled.

Xiao Rui squinted his eyes and suddenly said: "It's okay if you don't enter the palace, since you have wronged Gao Quan, the people who beat him and the people who arrested him have to give me an explanation!" ”

"What's the explanation?" Cao Wan asked.

"Slap yourself, fan until you bleed." Xiao Rui said coldly.

When Cao Wan heard this, her face was ugly.
