Chapter 11 Holding the Pot
"Sister, Mrs. Xun is too bullying, Your Highness ......" Ah Rong lay on the ground with a dead breath, Qiu Yue couldn't look at it, and muttered quietly behind her sister.
"Don't talk nonsense." Qiushui reprimanded Qiuyue in a low voice, and His Royal Highness came not to stop Mrs. Xun from punishing this Ah Rong, but to tell everyone that Ah Rong was the target of the public.
"Juqiu, go, wake her up and drag her over." Seeing Ah Rong's face lying on the ground far away, pale and purple, but still unable to hide the color of the city, it was difficult to understand the jealousy in his heart.
"Mrs. Smoke, what do you want to do!? She's all like this, are you going to punish her? When Baguio looked at Mrs. Xun's eyes, she knew that something vicious was going to happen.
"If I don't give this cheap maid some color, how will I be a good errand in the future, how will the people in this house serve His Highness? Your Highness, do you say yes? "Madame Xun knows that His Highness didn't stop her at first, and now she won't save her face, and she didn't scold someone once or twice.
Zhong Lixun nodded to Mrs. Xun like a play, Mrs. Xun and Mrs. Mei were very proud of His Highness's reaction, Baguio looked at the indifferent Highness in disbelief, unable to fight back. Rong Caiyin Pavilion was on one side, a little unbearable, but he couldn't argue with His Highness without permission.
Ju Qiu has always been a bully, pulling Ah Rong's hair, and his scalp seemed to be torn off a piece of pain, this pain mixed with the cold water poured on his body, making Ah Rong's consciousness extremely clear, but the numbness and unconsciousness up and down his body were magnified a hundred times.
"Give this to her, and let her hold it for a long time." Mrs. Xun looked at Zhong Lixun's cold demeanor, and was very satisfied in her heart, since His Royal Highness did not interfere, she would take this opportunity to teach this cheap maid who didn't know the height of the sky!
"Yes, ma'am." Ju Qiu respectfully took the teapot handed over by Mrs. Xun, and he was holding the position of the handle of the pot, but when he handed it to Ah Rong, he changed it to the direction where the base was facing down.
"You guys pull her up and pull her hands over." Ju Qiu held the hot teapot in his hand and instructed the maid of the Xunhua Pavilion to help the conscious Ah Rong up, Ah Rong gritted his teeth but was powerless to fight back, watching himself be placed like a puppet and kneeling, his arms stretched straight forward, and his snow-white palms facing the sky.
"Put it on." Ju Qiu's delicate face appeared with the same treacherous smile as Mrs. Xun's, and it was indeed a nest of snakes and rats.
When the teapot that was burned by the charcoal fire was firmly placed on Ah Rong's tender white jade hand, Ah Rong screamed: "Ah! ……”
The tears were forced out by the pain and pressed down by themselves, the bitterness on the tip of the tongue spread, and the subordinates of Yinfang Pavilion and the servants and servants brought by the ladies were all wide-eyed with fright. I saw that Ah Rong's hand that was held by the two of them and couldn't move was trembling violently, the teapot was extremely hot, the white waves at the mouth of the pot were steaming, and there was light green tea dripping down to his hand with the steam, and the white jade hand immediately became red and swollen, and slowly the flesh and blood were blurred.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this servant girl can't stand it, it's better to ......" Rong Caiyin said pityingly, she knew that His Highness was using the hands of Madame Xun to persecute this slave. But at the same time, he was also a little confused, even if this criminal maid was made by the prince, His Royal Highness found a reason to deal with her, why did he ignore her.
"Bang-" Rong Caiyin's words were not finished, Ah Rong's hand seemed to be dislocated, she was blindfolded, looked up at her empty hands in confusion, and then looked at the teapot that was smashed to the ground, and the rich fragrance of tea was permeated. The next moment, Ah Rong finally couldn't support his heavy eyelids and fell to the ground unconscious.
Zhong Lixun clapped his hands, it was he who quickly swept the teapot to the ground, and Mrs. Xun was also shocked by His Highness's actions and was speechless, What does His Highness mean by this?
"Her hand is so disgusting that it doesn't stain the eyes of the Aiji." Zhong Lixun said coldly, with disgust. didn't expect Ah Rong to be so tough, he didn't investigate this matter to return her innocence, and he didn't beg him for mercy.
Those hands, hold them for a while, they will definitely be wasted.
Xun'er tortured like this, at least this criminal slave was not under King Jing, so let her live for the time being.
"Yes, Your Highness, look at her, her hands are burned, take her down quickly, lest Your Highness lose her appetite." Baguio saw Zhong Lixun suddenly knock over the teapot, came back to his senses after being frightened, and took the opportunity to persuade His Royal Highness that at this time, Mrs. Xun must have nothing to say.
Rong Caiyin couldn't bear it after all, Baguio finished speaking, Xu Bu walked to Zhong Lixun's side, and said softly: "Your Highness, Yin'er is tired, otherwise forget about today's matter, the flowers are not appreciated, and the mood is restless."
"That being the case, it happened in Yin Fangxuan, so leave this to Yin'er to deal with," Zhong Lixun only glanced at Ah Rong, who was lying on the ground and was weak, and his tone was light, "In the end, give it to Qiushui to teach, and it will be better to have a longer memory." ”
"Your Highness, is it so easy to let go of this? Xun'er ......" Mrs. Xun continued to pretend to be a pear blossom with rain, and at this time, Rong Caiyin persuaded politely: "Okay, Sister Xun, I have been beaten, and after the punishment, my sister's anger should also come out."
"Because my sister is really kind-hearted." The tone was sarcastic, she didn't believe it, His Royal Highness favored this little, and she would feel better.
Rong Caiyin's face did not change, and she smiled peacefully. Mrs. Xun was a little speechless, okay, okay, bear with this for the time being, you will all wait for me in a few days!
Mrs. Xun snorted, barely hiding her anger, and pinched her throat at Zhong Lixun and said, "Your Highness, Xun'er is unwell, so she will retire first." After speaking, he saluted Zhong Lixun, and angrily walked out of Yinfangxuan with a group of maidservants.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Mrs. Mei also saluted Zhong Lixun and left in a hurry with a few ladies who had friends with Mrs. Xun.
"Baguio, don't look any more, come back with me." There are only two superfluous people left in Yinfang Pavilion, Baguio and Bi Lian, and Bi Lian urges Baguio, who is still worried about Ah Rong, to leave.
"Your Highness has already said to forgive her, let's go." Baguio looked up, Rong Caiyin happened to look over, her eyes were signaling to reassure her, Baguio finally glanced at Ah Rong worriedly, and left with her sister Bi Lian.
"Yin'er, do you like the flowers I gave you?" Everyone dispersed, Zhong Lixun hugged Rong Caiyin with a smile and said dotingly.
"Your Highness gave it, I naturally like it," Rong Caiyin smiled beautifully, "Your Highness, do you want to see Yin'er dance today?" ”
After hearing this, Zhong Lixun let go of the hand holding her, and said with relief: "There is something today, let's talk about it in a few days."
Zhong Lixun left, Rong Caiyin looked at her and stopped in his direction, until the back of the slender and handsome man disappeared outside the courtyard of the Yinfang Pavilion wall.
Qinghe, the maid who accompanied the marriage, saw that her master's eyes were reluctant, and she was also anxious, so she went over and held Rong Caiyin's hand and asked, "Madam, why don't you want to find a way to keep Your Highness?"
My heart hurts, and Zhong Lixun loves her on the bright side, and treasures and beautiful clothes are constantly sent, but I rarely get along with her.
When I came to Fangyin Pavilion, I drank tea or watched the dance and left, and at night I slept on the same bed but respected each other, and when I woke up in my dream, he was sleeping peacefully and handsomely, she could only watch quietly, but she didn't dare to move her body closer to her.
"Qinghe, you don't know how much effort I have made, but His Royal Highness is a person who has achieved great things, and I want to keep his heart but I can't." Rong Caiyin felt bitter in her heart.
"Madame is so good to His Royal Highness, Qinghe has always been firm, one day, His Royal Highness's heart will be Madame's."
Although her father served the prince and the king, she did not hesitate to offend her father and secretly worked for him. Just because she met him in the palace many years ago, he rescued her from falling into the water in the palace pool. In the past few years, he has been dormant, confusing the prince with the appearance of inaction, but in private he has gathered the hearts of most of the courtiers, just to achieve great things.
"That's what I think, hopefully." Rong Caiyin looked at the weak Ah Rong on the ground, her hands were ulcerated and swollen, she was indeed pitiful, Ah Rong's stunning face was unforgettable, she had seen her twice before. His Royal Highness didn't deal with her this time, for fear that she had other plans, so he lightly instructed Qinghe: "Qinghe, find a few people to carry her to the big maid Qiushui in the front yard."
