Chapter 117: Cannibalistic Palace
Duanmu Heng led Lin Xiaomiao to a palace that looked very gorgeous, and as soon as the two arrived at the palace gate, a palace maid greeted them.
"Participate in the prince!"
"Get up. Pack up the side hall and let her live. Duanmu Heng lightly instructed the palace maids.
"Yes."
Several palace maids responded respectfully and retreated.
Duanmu Heng looked back at Lin Xiaomiao, "This is the king's bedroom, so let's rest here these days." I'm going to go to my father's place first, and if you want to go anywhere, call the palace ladies to show you the way." ”
After Duanmu Heng finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Lin Xiaomiao alone to stand in this huge courtyard.
In the end, when they entered the palace, the two maids Qiu Ju and Chunyue could no longer follow Lin Xiaomiao.
Lin Xiaomiao opened her eyes and looked at it, but found that the design of this palace was very good-looking, and it seemed to have a little modern European and American elements.
When her eyes touched the corner pavilion not far away, her eyes couldn't help but light up, if she was not mistaken, the stool was clearly made of marble.
It was the first time she had seen a stone bench made of marble in all her years here.
She watched and walked slowly in this palace, and found many traces in this palace that made her familiar and surprised.
European-style curtains, dioramas that are clearer than copper mirrors, and lace-like bed curtains......
She was fascinated when a maid stepped forward.
"Master, the side hall has been cleaned up, do you want to go and see, do you need to add some extra supplies?" The attitude of this blue-clothed palace maid was very humble, her head was lowered, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Lin Xiaomiao.
Duanmu Heng did not specifically explain Lin Xiaomiao's identity, so those palace maids didn't know what Lin Xiaomiao's identity was, but since the prince personally ordered her to clean up the side hall and live in her, he uniformly called Lin Xiaomiao the master.
In the palace, anyone who has a little status can be called the master.
Lin Xiaomiao tugged at the corners of her lips, "No need, you just clean up." I want to walk around, can you take me to see it? ”
Lin Xiaomiao's words were gentle, and she looked very kind when she heard it, and she also asked the palace maid if she could take her for a walk, instead of directly ordering someone to take her for a walk.
This is very rare in the palace.
can be called the master in the palace, they are all powerful characters, everyone is high, and the palace maid and eunuch are the lowest existence in this palace, and no master will ask about the meaning of being a slave.
The palace maid was so surprised that she forgot the rules, and suddenly raised her head to look at Lin Xiaomiao.
"Is that okay?" Lin Xiaomiao looked at the surprised eyes of the palace maid and asked again.
The palace maid reacted that she had overpassed, and hurriedly lowered her head in panic, "When ...... Of course you can, master, please. ”
Lin Xiaomiao, under the leadership of the palace maid, walked out of Duanmu Heng's bedroom.
This palace is indeed big, but after walking for a while and turning two corners, Lin Xiaomiao no longer knows how to walk back.
If someone hadn't taken her, she would have gotten lost.
It's just that the palace maid is a silent person, unless Lin Xiaomiao asks her, she will answer in a proper manner, otherwise she will just lead the way honestly without saying a word.
The two walked to a very beautiful garden and stopped, Lin Xiaomiao was a little tired from walking, so she sat down in the pavilion to rest.
On the other side of the pavilion is a lotus pond.
It's not the height of summer, but there are occasionally two or three lotus flowers that can't be opened, and the lotus pond is sometimes covered with some green lotus leaves, which looks like it has a different artistic conception.
The water was very clear, and Lin Xiaomiao could even see the fish playing freely.
A tail of golden, red or black fish chased in the water, and Lin Xiaomiao's attention was attracted by those lively fish.
She was looking at it when she suddenly heard the voice of a woman speaking from nowhere.
Seem...... There are also pleas for mercy.
She looked at the palace maid standing on the side suspiciously, but the palace maid looked like she had lowered her eyebrows and didn't hear anything.
Lin Xiaomiao originally wanted to ignore it, but slowly, the sound of begging for mercy became louder and louder, and she even heard the sound of slapping.
"Master, it's not too early, but you want to go back to the palace?" The palace maid finally spoke up.
Lin Xiaomiao raised her eyebrows, didn't she want to hear the rights and wrongs in the palace?
But it's okay, it's better not to mix the affairs of the palace as a peasant girl, if you are relied on because of this, you are really dumb and eat coptis, and you can't tell if you have suffering.
Although Duanmu Heng said that he was in front of him when there was something, it was better to cause less trouble.
Lin Xiaomiao fiddled with her dress and stood up.
"Okay, let's go back then."
Even though the palace maid was leading the way, she did not overstep in front of Lin Xiaomiao, but fell in the position where Lin Xiaomiao took a step back, but she was able to guide Lin Xiaomiao accurately.
Although Lin Xiaomiao had no intention of exploring the rights and wrongs in this palace, unfortunately, the two almost bumped into each other when they were around the corner.
Lin Xiaomiao's footsteps paused, and she grabbed the palace maid beside her.
She pointed in the direction around the corner and motioned for the maid to look over.
It turned out that around the corner, a woman in a gorgeous green palace dress was condescendingly looking at the woman who was prostrate on the ground and kowtowing to forgiveness.
"Ask the mother to spare the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid really didn't mean it, the slave and the maid knew that they should die for the crime of colliding with the maid, just ask the maid to spare the slave and maid this time, and the slave and the maid will not dare next time."
The palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if she was very afraid of the person who was called the mother in the green palace dress.
The woman impatiently instructed the eunuch on the side, "This cheap maid has collided with the palace, so let's slap twenty." ”
The eunuch should be, two came forward to grab the kowtowing palace maid, and without saying a word, the other opened the bow left and right, and shook the palace maid's mouth hard.
Lin Xiaomiao saw the scene in front of her, her eyebrows were tightly twisted together, she clenched her fists, and she didn't take a deep breath until her nails sank deep into her palms and she felt the pain.
She turned, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
When Lin Xiaomiao turned around and walked back, the palace maid beside her also breathed a sigh of relief.
She is also afraid that Lin Xiaomiao will be nosy, if something happens to her, her life will not be guaranteed, you must know that in this palace, the lives of palace maids and eunuchs are the least valuable.
Because of that kind of thing, Lin Xiaomiao has been cowardly since the way back, and she doesn't look energetic.
Even though she has traveled to this unequal dynasty where there is a clear distinction between dignity and inferiority, and power is greater than everything, she has never seen others reward and punish others as subordinates at will.
Duanmu Heng is not a harsh person, so the maids and maids in Liyang Wangfu are fine.
This palace is really a place to eat people, and you can be punished casually, depending on the mood of the master.
Duanmu Heng seems to be very busy, he took Lin Xiaomiao to his dormitory and it was difficult to see him again, the appearance of his feet not touching the ground, every time he came back when Lin Xiaomiao was about to sleep, when Lin Xiaomiao woke up in the morning, those palace maids said that Duanmu Heng had left.
If it weren't for those palace maids who served respectfully and thoughtfully every day, Lin Xiaomiao would have thought that Duanmu Heng had forgotten his existence.
Soon it was the day of the Empress's birthday, and on this day the entire palace took action early.
Duanmu Heng's dormitory was already in a remote place in the harem, but before Lin Xiaomiao got up that day, she heard a noise from outside the palace.
She inevitably had to lie in bed again, rolled up the quilt and shrunk into the innermost part, burying her head in the quilt to block out the noisy sounds.
Duanmu Heng got up early as usual, but today he did not leave the dormitory early in the morning, but came to the side hall, saw the closed palace door, and asked the palace maid who was guarding the side.
"She's not awake yet?"
"Back to the prince, yes."
Duanmu Heng shook his head helplessly, and felt funny, this girl is really a lazy person, she sleeps until three poles in the morning every day, and several times he has come back in the morning, and she has not woken up.
He personally pushed open the door and walked in.
Xu is that this side hall is rarely inhabited, Duanmu Heng feels that this side hall that has not seen the light of day in the past has a different atmosphere this time, and it seems that he can still smell some faint daughter incense.
He walked all the way to the bed, and when he saw Lin Xiaomiao sleeping on the bed, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Xiaomiao didn't realize that her indecent sleeping posture was looked at by other men, and she still slept soundly.
Duanmu Heng looked at it, and his heart teased.
His deep eyes smiled, bent over, leaned into Lin Xiaomiao's ear and said, "It's crazy, get up quickly......"
He deliberately pinched his throat and shouted in Lin Xiaomiao's ear, the sound was so loud that the palace maids guarding outside were startled.
Lin Xiaomiao was really frightened, she opened her eyes and sat up suddenly, before she was awake, her body crawled to the side of the bed first, looking like she was ready to run.
Duanmu Heng couldn't help it when he saw Lin Xiaomiao who was so funny, hahaha laughed, but the voice was very hearty and good.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Xiaomiao, who was about to run, "Hahahaha...... What do you run? Where are you going? ”
Lin Xiaomiao heard the hearty laughter and came to her senses completely.
She knelt on the bed and glared at Duanmu Heng, realizing that she had been completely tricked by Duanmu Heng, and she was really annoyed.
slapped Duanmu Heng and said in a hoarse voice: "Duanmu Heng, this madman, is it fun to play people!" It scares people to death if you know it! ”
She looked annoyed, and slapped Duanmu Heng hard, making a crisp sound, and Duanmu Heng was stunned by her.
This is the first time that Duanmu Heng has been slapped by a woman since he grew so old, although it was not hit in the face, but the hot feeling on the back of his hand knew that Lin Xiaomiao had made a lot of effort.
Both of them were stunned, Lin Xiaomiao looked at him with wide eyes, and it seemed that he could still see flames in his eyes.
She's really angry!
After a while, Lin Xiaomiao's tears fell without warning, and soon the tears fell in strings.
Lin Xiaomiao cried, crying without warning, which caught Duanmu Heng off guard.
