Chapter 276: Learn the rules of the palace
Lianzi stood in the snow with a basin of water on her head, and she was still the two palace maids, but she tortured her in a different way.
The basin is a foot basin made of stone, large and heavy, constantly sucking the warmth of the top of the lotus seed's head and palms. The lotus seed bears the force with her hands for a while, and then puts it on the top of her head, and within an hour she can't support it and can't stand steadily.
The snow stopped, but the wind was still very strong, and the sound of the wind in the yard reverberated in the ears of lotus seeds, and it also brought intermittent laughter and chatter.
The two palace maids sat in the room, looking at Lianzi's unbearable appearance proudly, in revenge for Lianzi's cold words and rough behavior that day.
"Looking at her appearance, today should be shorter than yesterday! Sister, do you think that basin of water will wet her clothes again? It's really strange, after so many days, she is unharmed, and she hasn't even suffered from the cold!"
"It's only been a few days, and every day the emperor urges her to take care of Xue Concubine, naturally she is in good health! I see, these three hours are not enough to torture her, go back and ask the Queen Mother if she can add more!"
The Queen Mother is very spoiled by the people around her, after all, the people around her represent her image, and naturally she will not let her authority be lowered by a cent, and she will ruthlessly suppress Zui Yuexuan in this matter.
Lianzi came to "learn the palace rules" at noon every day, and suffered from the various methods of the two palace maids, and the methods that had been tortured in the palace were all turned out by them.
Feng Xing saw everything in his eyes, endured every minute and every second of grief and anger, and couldn't help but take away the lotus seeds many times, but he clearly remembered the words of the lotus seeds to him: Don't be impulsive, don't make trouble!
Feng Xing asked the emperor for an order, and he had to come here every day to secretly watch, and he said: I can't suffer for her, at least I have to watch. Every bit of pain she suffered is attributed to me, and I will make up for it bit by bit in the future!
The emperor understood Fengxing's thoughts, nodded and agreed: You go, things will be watched by Gao Hai, you don't have to worry! If I were you, I might not be better than you! You can't help her, at least accompany her! If you really can't help it, then go in with a mask!
The wind was blowing, Feng Xing's heart was cold, and he seemed to be suffering for the lotus seed, because his pain at the moment was heavier than the lotus seed.
It is only when he encounters things that he feels a strong and incomparable desire and impulse in his heart that can interfere with all his thoughts and reason. Even if he deviates from his consistent beliefs and perseverance, he has to protect her well, he can't see her suffering, not at all.
Lianzi knew Fengxing's thoughts, so she pretended to be painless and persevered, she was afraid that Fengxing was watching her somewhere. The lotus seed has a warm spring in her heart, and she is not afraid of this cold winter at all, nor is she afraid of the torture of others, the only thing she is afraid of is that the person she cares about in her heart will be hurt and sad......
Half an hour passed, and Fengxing appeared in front of Lianzi, and standing beside him was Liu Li, who looked embarrassed.
A second ago, the two palace maids were about to torture the lotus seeds, and the kidnapped lotus seeds couldn't dodge.
Feng Xing violently stopped the two palace maids who were about to commit the murder, one of them was holding a needle, and the other was holding mustard powder, which is said to be a kind of criminal law that was once prevalent in the palace.
Before Liu Li went to see the Queen Mother, he specially asked people to offer advice to these two palace maids, so he made a special trip to catch them.
"Bold minion, what are you doing?"
"Slave... Slaves and maids meet the emperor!"
Liu Li snatched the things from their hands and pretended to accidentally spill them on their heads. "It's... What is this, mustard? You teach lotus seed etiquette and palace rules, when do you need this thing?"
The two palace maids didn't dare to speak, but hurriedly wiped the powder off their heads, every grain was itchy, and they didn't know what was mixed with the powder.
"Slaves and maids just teach... It's just to teach lotus seeds, I just want to scare her with these scares!"
Liu Li snorted coldly, ignored them, and asked Fengxing to take down the basin on the lotus seed's head first.
The stone basin was so heavy, and when Fengxing was obtained, he was cautious and extremely distressed, and he wanted to smash the basin on the heads of the two palace maids immediately.
Lianzi's hand was a little stiff, and the instantaneous upward impact of the blood flow made her a little uncomfortable, so Fengxing slowly channeled Lianzi.
"How do you feel?" Liu Li asked Lianzi, he didn't care about her as much as Fengxing, but his feelings were not as strong.
Like Xue Ze, Liu Li has never looked down on lotus seeds.
"Back to the emperor, the slave is fine, but her hands are a little sore!"
Liu Li nodded, looked around the quiet surroundings, and then coughed twice. "Since it's okay, then come with me!"
Hearing this, the palace maid hurriedly stopped it, and wanted to get up from the cold and biting snow.
Liu Li looked at her, and they lowered their heads in fear, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the lotus seed has not yet finished learning the etiquette that needs to be learned today! Take her away now, I'm afraid it will delay the process, and the slave and maid will not be able to deal with the queen mother!"
"Really?" Liu Li looked at the two of them coldly, "Do you think it is important to teach the etiquette of the palace maid, or is it the body of Xue Concubine that is important?"
"It's... Of course, this is the most important thing for Xue Concubine's body, but... But Xue Concubine has been fine, how can she immediately need lotus seeds to serve?"
Liu Li gave Feng exercise a look and gave him a chance to reprimand the two. Feng Xing showed no mercy and angrily reprimanded: "Bold slave, dare to ask these things! If it weren't for you torturing the lotus seed, causing her to be unable to serve Xue Concubine with peace of mind, would such a thing happen to Niangniang? This incident alarmed the emperor, and the emperor was so tired that he was so angry, and you still dared to stop it?"
"The slave doesn't dare, the slave just cares about Xue Concubine, she just wants to give a good reply to the Queen Mother!"
"Don't talk nonsense, all you care about is how to reply! If you really care about the tasks assigned by the Queen Mother, will you be idle all day long? Teaching etiquette, is this how you teach? I think, you don't understand etiquette at all, you just perfunctory, and you also delay Xue Concubine's illness, these can already cure you for capital crimes!"
The two palace maids knelt tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads, but said in a low voice: "The slave maid is just acting according to orders, and please ask the emperor and the lord to see it!"
Liu Li smiled knowingly, Feng Xing's angry appearance impressed him, and also helped Feng Xing achieve his wishes.
"You represent the image of the Queen Mother, and now you are doing such a thing. If I hadn't come to find the lotus seed in person, I might not have known about this matter at all, and then I would really have let you wantonly tarnish the reputation of the Queen Mother!
Fengxing nodded, looked at the lotus seed slowly, and watched Liu Li take the lotus seed away. Liu Li's ears couldn't hear the palace maid's excited words, and Fengxing couldn't hear it, he only had a thousand kinds of anger in his heart.
There are no people around Dongjiao Lake, only the wind in your ears and a few crisp birdsongs.
Lianzi looked around and asked Liu Li in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do this... Will it make the Queen Mother dissatisfied?"
"Why don't you ask Xue Concubine if she is really sick?" Liu Li smiled slightly, walking briskly, he finally had an excuse to see Xue Ze.
Although he can't express his lyrical meaning, at least he can see if his lovesick person is doing well.
"The emperor must be for me to avoid suffering, but what does it mean to be popular? After this incident, I am not going to be taught a lesson by a new person, so what's the point of doing this? In the future, the emperor should not listen to Fengxing's words!"
"I didn't mean it, I just watched him stay up and feel uncomfortable, so I specially arranged this matter! As for the future, I believe that the queen mother will not care about her own face, nor will she argue with me about this matter. I'll arrange for an upright man to teach you, and you just go through the form!"
"Your Majesty, thank you!"
Liu Li was stunned, and turned around to look at Lianzi with apologies: "I'm sorry, I've wronged you these days! I just got rid of the shackles today, and I just said a few words to the Queen Mother! She has confidence in her palace maid, so I came to see it, so ......"
"I see, it's too late for me to thank the emperor, how can I make you apologize to me like this?"
Liu Li smiled and let the lotus seed lead the way. "I've been investigating the case for the past few days. I haven't been here yet, so I'm tired of you leading the way!"
"That's... So what's going on with this case, Senior Sister is also worried about this matter all day long, but recently she has paid more attention to the matter of holy relics! The emperor is inconvenient to come and go, this time he announced that Xue Concubine was sick and came to see it, and it is difficult to come here to communicate!"
"The case is okay, it's about to be solved, it's just a few key people! If you want to close the case early, it's okay, you can rest assured!" Liu Li paused, looked at the house in front of him, and asked softly: "I'm worried that she won't tell me, and she won't trouble me to help." I wonder if you can make progress in your search for the holy relics, and if you need help?"
Lianzi was stunned, not knowing whether to say it or not.
The man in front of him was gentle, benevolent, resolute and resolute, not inferior to the popular in terms of character and temperament, and not inferior to the blue water in terms of appearance and temperament, and the lotus seed couldn't help but have a little good impression and trust in him, and began to hesitate and entangle in his heart: Can we say it? If we go to explore the Taimiao Temple by ourselves, we are never accurate and clear, and we may miss the best time. However, Senior Sister is a Heavenly Maiden, and even Senior Brother has to listen to her words, how can I... However, the emperor is a good man!
Seeing this, Liu Li smiled gently: "It's okay, I won't force you! If you need help, just come to me at any time! After all, in the palace, I should be your most trustworthy person, and I can also do a little bit of small things big and small!"
"Actually... Actually, you may really need your help in this matter!" Lianzi looked around, and her mind became firm: Senior sister, I'm sorry, I can't watch you work all day long. I can't help myself, so let's get you a credible helper! The emperor is very good, you can't love him, but at least you can help each other!
