Chapter 25: The Rod

Ji'er picked it up and took a closer look at a gold bracelet inlaid with red jade, and then Qi'er finally knew what trouble she was in.

As soon as I wanted to pick up the jade bracelet, I was stopped by the maid who Ling Zhao had stuffed before: "I don't believe it when people say that Miss Qi'er stole the princess's things." ”

Then I saw the maid who locked up Qi'er walk in: "My princess kindly rewarded the girl with the incense girl's things, but you did something of stealing." Take her away! ”

Aunt Ruan stood not far away and watched, then turned around and went in the direction of the Buddha Hall.

……

When he saw Qi'er, Ling Zhao looked at it carefully for a while, turned around and picked up the bracelet on the table, shook it twice and asked Qi'er: "Do you know what the end of stealing in the palace will be?" ”

Ji'er hated the woman with a honey-bellied sword: "I don't know. ”

"The prince was stationed in the territory before, and he has not been in the house for a long time, so he has not made any rules. Now that I'm here, I can't afford people like you to be presumptuous. The thief shall have fifty rods and drive him out of the king's house. ”

"I'm the same as Miss Wanxiang, I only obey the king's orders. These fifty rods, I can't stand it. If the princess has to fight, she will call the prince or the girl to fight. ”

"......" Ling Zhao clenched the bracelet in his hand tightly, and was very angry, but he still smiled and said to her: "You do have a special status, and you can not be beaten or driven out of the house with fifty rods, but ......"

Ling Zhao just wanted to say something, wanted to persuade Qi'er to have it for himself, but Wanxiang raised her foot and kicked the maid at the door and broke into the door.

Seeing the kneeling Qi'er on the ground and the prepared family law, and looking at Ling Zhao sitting on it, he saluted respectfully: "Wanxiang has seen the princess." ”

"You...... The incense is here, and that's just right. Ling Zhao couldn't speak, and when he looked at the appearance of the incense, he thought of the original listening platform.

I heard Wanxiang ask without fear at all: "The next time I went to the courtyard, I heard that Qi'er made a mistake and was taken away by the princess." ”

"Yes, I kindly picked up some southern Xinjiang fabrics and hair accessories and asked Qi'er to get them, thinking that you will look good in the garment. But he didn't want to stay in my treasury and refused to leave, so he stole my bracelet and got the stolen goods. ”

"Really?" Wanxiang looked directly at Ling Zhao without showing humility: "What does the princess plan to do with it?" Fifty rods, drive out of the palace? ”

"Forget it, Qi'er is a person with a fragrant ......"

"How's that going to work? The princess has just set up family rules, how can she just say it? However, to drive Qi'er out of the palace, you need to inform the prince. As for fifty rods...... The subordinates took it for Ji'er. ”

"No, girl, I didn't steal any bracelets at all, the princess stuffed them into the ...... herself"

"Shut up!" Wanxiang turned her head and glared at Qi'er, motioning for her to stop talking.

Zhengzhong Lingzhao was in her arms, but she still pretended to excuse herself: "The fifty rods are still forgotten." People, take the incense back. ”

"Since it is the rule set by the princess, we have to accept these fifty rods, and we will remember it for a long time in the future."

As he spoke, Wanxiang lay on the stool where he received the cane, and turned his head to look up at the southern Xinjiang maid who was holding a cane: "Fight." ”

She probably didn't know whether to fight or not: "Princess......"

"Juanxiang, forget it."

"I'll let you fight." Juanxiang's eyes suddenly turned red and stared back at the maid, like a wolf ready to eat people, and the maid's hand suddenly trembled.

Seeing Ling Zhao nodded, the stick fell on Juanxiang's body. said that he didn't fight, but when he did, he was really not soft at all, and it was not lighter than the few hits of Aunt Ruan's niece.

One stick after another fell on Wanxiang's body, and Wanxiangning didn't say a word, gritting her teeth and enduring fifty canes. If it weren't for the fine sweat on her forehead, Ling Zhao would have really thought that she was beaten with iron.

Qi'er listened to the sound of the falling cane, and her hair stood on end, for fear that Wanxiang would faint accidentally.

When there was still the last rod left, she looked up at Ling Zhao and smiled weirdly, like a rakshasa crawling out of hell, and laughed so that Ling Zhao palpitated.

After the fight, Wanxiang actually pushed away Aunt Ruan, who came up to help her, stood up from the stool, and saluted Ling Zhao again: "Fifty rods have already been received, as for the stay of Qi'er...... The subordinates will tell the prince the truth about this matter. ”

Ling Zhao stood up, took the medicine that he asked the maid to take earlier, and handed it to Wanxiang: "I just said that I shouldn't fight, look at you so stubborn." This is the medicine I brought from southern Xinjiang, it is very useful to treat stick wounds, you can take it back and use it quickly. ”

Wanxiang took the small jar in Ling Zhao's hand: "Thank you, princess, can your subordinates go back?" ”

"Let's go back quickly."

Wanxiang endured the pain like this, straightened up, walked back by herself, and pushed away the Qi'er who came up to support her. Her appearance was really scary, and the maid in southern Xinjiang couldn't help but say to Ling Zhao: "Princess, are we ......?"

"She wanted to fight herself, no wonder we did." Although Ling Zhao said this, her clenched hands had betrayed her nervousness.

……

When she returned to the room, she lay on the bed by herself, took out the medicine given by Ling Zhao, and smiled bitterly: "We have to take care of the medicine given by the princess." ”

"It doesn't matter what the princess gave the medicine." Qi'er grabbed Wanxiang's hand tightly: "Qi'er really didn't steal their things, Miss Suri kept them for Qi'er if she had good things, and Qi'er didn't rarely have any broken bracelets in southern Xinjiang."

Why did the girl ask them to make a call? has lived the momentum of the princess, and we are not sent by her. ”

Wanxiang moved her body with difficulty, and Qi'er hurriedly helped push away the quilt on the side.

Akika replied, "Of course I know that you won't steal from them, just because we are not sent by them, so we have to be beaten this time." ”

"I don't understand."

"That's right." Aunt Ruan also echoed: "The princess has said that she can not be affected by these fifty rods, and this injury will not be healed for several days......"

"I don't know what to do, and I can't say it clearly for a while. If we don't suffer this beating today, even if we check it really in the future, we will still receive her favor in vain.

Just when I spend fifty rods to buy a purity, I also make this little princess happy, and quiet for a day. As long as the prince is clear in his heart, it's fine. ”

Ling Zhao is not without brains, she knows that she has beaten the incense, and Xiao Huaijin will definitely go to deal with her. But this is Wanxiang's own begging, and Xiao Huaijin can't say anything if she wants to.

But that night, Xiao Huaijin did something that made Ling Zhao even more sad than going to Lingzhao to argue: after listening to Aunt Ruan and Qi'er explain the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Huaijin didn't say a word and got into Wanxiang's house and didn't come out all night.

Ling Zhao felt that he had obviously done nothing wrong, so he actually pushed Xiao Huaijin to the side of Wanxiang's bed like this. But she can only guard the cold bed and let people watch jokes.

Biting his lip tightly until his mouth smelled of blood, he asked his personal maid on the dressing table, "Is my appearance really ugly?" ”

"What did the princess say?"

"I'm the princess."

"Yes, Princess."

"Then am I not as handsome as Juanxiangsheng?"

"No, the princess's appearance is the second in southern Xinjiang, but no one dares to count first."

"Then why did the emperor of the Central Plains block me out of the palace gate before he saw me, and the prince of the Central Plains ran to her bedside without even lifting his hijab...... They didn't even look at me. ”

As he spoke, Ling Zhao stretched out his hand and swept away the things on the table: "In Southern Xinjiang, how could I have suffered such a grievance?!" What am I doing wrong again? ”

"Princess, the prince just hasn't looked at you carefully, if he takes a closer look, he will definitely pity you."

"Is that so?" Ling Zhao looked back at the maid expectantly, and the little maid looked at the princess for a while and did not speak.
