Chapter IX: Punishment

Ye Zhaopei was born with strange powers, and the slap he gave to Yuxiang was quite light.

But for the delicate maid, such a slap was a bit too violent. Yuxiang's ears litus and her eyes were dazzled, and it took a while to come back to her senses. Ye Zhaopei said those words, she only heard the last sentence: "What kind of thing is your jade family?" ”

suffered a big loss in this regard, Yuxiang set off to get up, but his legs and feet were still sore.

Princess Huanyi stepped forward to help, and said softly: "Yuxiang, this is the queen who was personally edicted by the king, you should pay attention to what you say." ”

"Princess......" Yuxiang is still resentful.

"You have to be careful," Jiang Zhi came in from outside the door, with a faint smile on his face, "This is in the East Country, not the Song Kingdom." The queen who bullied me, how do you think I would be kind enough to let you go? ”

Seeing Jiang Zhi enter the study, Yuxiang and Princess Huanyi saluted him one after another.

Ye Zhaopei also straightened up, facing Jiang Zhi, and then lowered his eyes: "Your Excellency." ”

She was still a little hesitant, silent for a moment, and said, "I didn't hold back just now." ”

Jiang Zhi looked at Ye Zhaopei, his smile deepened, and there was a little warmth in his eyes. He said softly, "I don't blame you, I've heard what you said outside. ”

Originally, he thought that Ye Zhaopei was ready to stand and obediently let Yuxiang taunt and bully, and he was ready to come in to help her, but Ye Zhaopei opened his mouth to refute it, and he listened to it very happily. The dignified beauty sword, the unsurpassed number one killer of the Great Shang Dynasty, where is the soft persimmon?

Guan Shui was behind him, and he also said softly: "Worthy of being the queen." ”

Indeed, she deserves to be a queen. Ye Zhaopei, who was neither humble nor fearless, really made Jiang Zhi happy.

Princess Huanyi said to Jiang Zhi: "The king is angry, and Yuxiang is also an unintentional mistake. ”

Jiang Zhi glanced at Princess Huanyi: "Unintentional mistake?" Your father sent you to this eastern kingdom to study. I've always been very humble and courteous to you, but what is your name? Jade what? ”

He really couldn't remember the name.

Princess Huanyi frowned imperceptibly: "Yuxiang." ”

"This maid of yours has repeatedly spoken vulgar words to the people in the king's palace in the east corner, and I have endured it in the past, but now it is bullying my queen. Princess Huanyi, what are you relying on, so you dare to indulge your maid so much? Jiang Zhi's tone of voice became colder and colder.

"Your Majesty, it's me who didn't take care of Yuxiang well." Princess Huanyi said softly.

Jiang Zhi said: "It's true that I didn't manage it well. So I have a suggestion to leave your maid to me, our EAST dormitory is very suitable for training maids. ”

Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, took a big step back, took Princess Huanyi's hand, and pleaded.

Princess Huanyi couldn't bear it, bit her lip, and said, "Your Majesty, Yuxiang is my maid in the end, so ......"

"Well, something doesn't make sense." Ye Zhaopei, who remained silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

Princess Huanyi looked at her and was about to thank her happily, but what Ye Zhaopei said next made her disheartened again. Ye Zhaopei said lightly: "It stands to reason that being able to serve by the side of a princess of a country should be very well educated." The person named Yuxiang next to you is so vulgar, judging from my years of experience as a killer, her identity should be very unusual. ”

Jiang Zhi raised his eyebrows to look at her, and sang and harmonized with her: "Then what does the queen think?" ”

Hearing him call himself the queen, Ye Zhaopei's ears turned red. She tried not to look at Jiang Zhi, but said, "I think that Yuxiang's legs should be abolished now, so that she can no longer escape." Then locked up in the living room and interrogated slowly. ”

After a pause, Ye Zhaopei continued: "However, now that the living room in the East Country is relatively crowded, Yuxiang should have to be detained with other men. I heard that the last woman who was imprisoned died the next day, naked from top to bottom, with her lower body festering, and she must have suffered a lot during her lifetime. ”

She said with an unchanging face, as if it were something innocuous about it.

Princess Huanyi, as a high-ranking person, had never been exposed to these, and her face immediately became very pale.

Yu Xiang knelt at Princess Huanyi's feet, hugged her legs, and cried: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Yu Xiang asked herself if you have been loyal by your side for so many years, and you have never had two hearts, where can you have any unusual identity?" Your Royal Highness Princess, you wouldn't send Yuxiang to a place like that, would you? ”

Princess Huanyi looked down at her, and saw that her face was full of tears, and she couldn't bear it.

looked at Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi's face was expressionless; Looking at Ye Zhaopei, he only saw indifference.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please save Yuxiang, don't ask them to lock Yuxiang in!" Yuxiang continued to plead, his voice poignant.

Princess Huanyi frowned, squatted down and helped Yuxiang up. When wiping her tears, her fingers rubbed some blood on the corners of her mouth.

Princess Huanyi looked at Ye Zhaopei and said, "Queen, Yuxiang has been by my side for many years, it is impossible to be a so-called person with an unusual identity. Therefore, there is no need to put her in the room for interrogation. ”

"Then how can she explain what she said just now?" Jiang Zhi asked coldly.

"Yuxiang is dedicated to her master, and it is understandable," Princess Huanyi continued, "Your Majesty, Yuxiang did humiliate the queen just now, if the queen and the monarch are angry, they can punish Yuxiang." And as the master of Yuxiang, I am also at fault, if I want to be punished, I will punish us together. ”

Ye Zhaopei frowned, feeling a little unworthy for Princess Huanyi.

There is indeed a problem with this Yuxiang, but Ye Zhaopei can't say what it is, she just vaguely feels that Princess Huanyi is too weak in between, and she was easily moved by Yuxiang who pleaded for mercy.

And if Princess Huanyi pleaded for mercy in person, and even said that she would be punished with Yuxiang, then Jiang Zhinian's relationship between the East Country and the Song Kingdom would naturally not be punished harshly. In this way, Yuxiang escaped.

Ye Zhaopei's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen Yuxiang with a smug look on his face.

But she didn't know what to say, so she had to look away and wait for Jiang Zhi to say "That's it".

Jiang Zhi listened to what Princess Huanyi said, and nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then the two of you will go together to receive the punishment." ”

"What?" Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhi in surprise. He really called Princess Huanyi to receive the punishment? Does he not take into account the union between the two countries?

"Why, this is what your princess said, you have to punish them together," Jiang Zhi said, "I shouldn't have brushed off the princess's meaning." ”

After a pause, he turned his head to look at Guan Shui: "Since it was Yuxiang who humiliated the queen, then I will reward her with fifty slaps." The princess was punished together, but after all, she was a princess, so the reward was less, only five slaps. You lead it down, and when you've had enough, you'll come back to report it. ”

Guan Shui responded with a "yes".

Jiang Zhi looked at Princess Huanyi and Yuxiang who were motionless: "Why don't you leave?" ”

Princess Huanyi lowered her eyes, walked out with Yuxiang one after the other, and followed Guan Shui.

The guards were very up-to-the-point, and when they saw that there were only two people left in the study, Jiang Zhi and Ye Zhaopei, they immediately took the initiative to close the door of the study for them. So, being isolated from the outside world, it is time for two people to be alone.

Ye Zhaopei couldn't understand why Jiang Zhi really punished Princess Huanyi, and moved his lips to speak, Jiang Zhi took the lead and said: "I heard you outside just now, you are only afraid of one person in this world?" ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Zhi took a step closer to her: "Is that person talking about me?" ”

The king's clothes were dyed with the best incense, and when Jiang Zhi approached, Ye Zhaopei smelled the smell. She let out a soft "um" and clenched her palms hidden in her sleeves a little nervously, and her palms were wet.

Jiang Zhi stood still in front of her and smiled in a low voice: "It turns out that the queen is afraid of me and doesn't like me." ”

Ye Zhaopei was stunned again, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at Jiang Zhi, probably wanting to say "I like it", but when she met Jiang Zhi's eyes, she shrank a little.

Jiang Zhi sighed in her heart, she had been killing people for too long, and she still had no way to open her heart in front of her love. It seems that what he has to do is not just to defend her after the edict is issued. In the past few years, he has to do a lot of hard work to make up for the bastard things he has done.

Therefore, he changed the subject: "By the way, what is the matter with coming to me so late?" ”

"Ah," Ye Zhaopei breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes." It's about the Assassins, and I've interrogated them. ”

"How?" Jiang Zhi continued to stare at Ye Zhaopei in front of him. When it came to business, her expression did ease a lot.

Ye Zhaopei frowned and said, "They were all sent by the Song Kingdom, and they came to this place because there was an information that needed to be handed over to the local connector. This process is very secretive, they only know that the place where the joint is a floating teahouse, and there is a code. I also asked about that, and it was said that the crane returned to the mountain. ”

Jiang Zhi's attention was mostly on Ye Zhaopei's body, and his gestures, even if he frowned and moved his lips, he was all delicate. Jiang Zhi's heart was soft, and he couldn't listen to those boring words at all.

After Ye Zhaopei finished speaking, he felt that Jiang Zhi was a little strange: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Jiang Zhi shook his head: "There's nothing wrong." ”

Actually, there was something wrong, like himself, he wasn't quite right. He seems to have never been able to calm down with Ye Zhaopei, for example, now, he earnestly hopes that Ye Zhaopei can do some ridiculous bliss in the world with him.

Ye Zhaopei's mind was still on those assassins: "There is nothing else to ask, so I will kill all the assassins, and all the corpses will be burned, and I will be relieved to make sure that there is nothing to leak......"

"Zhao Pei." Jiang Zhi suddenly interrupted her.

"What do you command?" Ye Zhaopei looked at him.

Jiang Zhi stared at her and narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to ...... tonight Sleep with me? ”
