The palace in the northwest of the palace, called the Beast Palace, has started construction in a big way.

The reason why it is called the Beast Palace is because Zhou Wei plans to put all the rare birds and beasts in the world in the palace for his entertainment, and he is sending people to collect beasts from all over the world.

In addition, he also specially found a large number of skilled craftsmen to create various elaborate traps in the Beast Palace. It can be used both for thrill-seeking and for his safety.

Of course, it is the beauty that is indispensable. He gave me this errand, and asked me to help him collect five thousand beautiful women no matter what method I used.

I wanted to strike on the third day of this errand, and the people were not fools, for they knew what virtue the present monarch was, and sent their daughters into the palace full of wild beasts, and I am afraid that they will never come out again in this life.

Every day, I was confronted with the sight of young girls hugging their parents, or their sweethearts, crying, and then they were forcibly pushed into the car by the ruthless soldiers.

When Zhou Wei asked me about the process, I replied, "It's already five hundred." ”

When he heard this, he was furious: "It's only five hundred, it's been half a month, what the hell are you doing all day!" ”

I bowed my head and said nothing, and he was angry, and I didn't dare to tell him the truth, but in fact it was far from five hundred.

I tried to persuade and said, "Your Majesty, there are at least two thousand concubines in the harem, why don't you let them live directly in the Beast Palace?" ”

He glared angrily and scolded, "Fart! I'm tired of seeing their faces. If you want to do it, you can do it, nonsense! ”

I really don't want to do this kind of immoral thing, and I've been having nightmares almost every night for a while.

I said in a pleading tone: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is incompetent, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this errand, why don't the slave maid make you a rose moon group to eat?" As I said this, I suddenly raised my face to look at him with an expectant smile.

But he turned his face and glared at me fiercely, and the look in his eyes wanted to eat me: "Be a fart!" Are you going to the or not?! ”

I kept my head down and was silent.

"Wow, even you dare to resist my orders. Okay, I'll let Xiao Yuzi go! His chest heaved with anger.

I thought to myself, Xiao Yu Zidao is very suitable for this errand, and the villain with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks has no conscience at all.

"You rammer, go and kneel on the Puyu path, and you are not allowed to eat or get up without my orders!! Get lost! He pointed at me and roared.

I had to roll down the jade trail. The reason why the Puyu Trail is called the Puyu Trail is because it is paved with jade stones of uniform size, but he has paved it like a cobblestone road, which is uneven.

Zhou Wei sent two little eunuchs to follow me, and I had no way to disobey his will, so I could only kneel.

The moment I knelt down, I grinned in pain, and the hard jade and kneecaps were simply hard to beat. The pain was so painful that I hurriedly supported the ground with my hands, but the palms of my hands were also very painful, and clear marks were immediately printed.

I'll go, this thing is an ancient fingerboard!

One of the eunuchs went back to tell Zhou Wei, while the other was in charge of supervising me next to me.

It didn't take long for my knees to hurt me and I broke out in a cold sweat, and I couldn't help but beg the little eunuch next to me, "Little brother, can I stand up and move?" If I kneel like this, my leg will be useless. ”

The little eunuch looked embarrassed and said: "Father-in-law Qing, you usually treat us well, but I really don't dare, maybe the emperor will send someone to keep an eye on the two of us, if I dare to be negligent, the emperor will know, and he won't eat me alive!" ”

After begging for a while, he didn't agree, and I didn't want to continue to embarrass him, so I could only hold on. changed hands and feet, and scolded Zhou Wei's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

After kneeling for nearly an hour, I only felt that my legs were no longer mine, and the expression on my face could be imagined, numb like a dead man.

Suddenly, I heard movement in the distance, and the voice gradually became clear, and it didn't take long for me to see the person clearly, it was Queen Zheng Muxin.

Looking at the direction she walked, it should be going to the Imperial Garden, her health is not good, so she insists on going to the Imperial Garden every day to bask in the sun and take a walk.

We were still a few dozen meters apart, and I wasn't going to disturb her. But she saw me, changed her direction, and walked towards me.

She has always been dressed elegantly, and today she is wearing a lilac palace dress, embroidered with a few pale pink gardenias. The bun is only swayed with an amethyst diagonally, which looks a little casual but elegant.

"Meet the Queen." I said in unison with the little eunuch beside me.

She was supported by the palace people and walked to me. She looked down at the jade trail, and then at my embarrassed look. Asked me, "The emperor punished you for kneeling?" ”

I nodded helplessly, thinking that it wasn't Zhou Wei's damn thing, I said that I couldn't suffer this death here.

"How did you mess with him?" Zheng Muxin asked me.

I thought about it, but I decided not to tell her those things, Zhou Wei's mediocrity, everyone knows it in their hearts, why bother talking about those things, if you can't change it, it can only increase your troubles.

Seeing that I was about to stop talking and sighing, she could probably imagine what was ridiculous, so she didn't continue to ask.

Now she seems to know me a little bit and is no longer as repulsive as she was at the beginning. After all, I have been to Li He Hall many times under Zhou Wei's mask.

And don't look at Zheng Muxin's noble birth, he has a high spirit, but he is very kind in his heart. Seeing my unlucky appearance at this time, she didn't seem to be in the mood to visit the Imperial Garden anymore.

She stood beside me for a while, although she didn't speak, but I saw her frowning slightly, as if she was doing a psychological struggle, and finally only listened to her make up her mind, looked at me and said, "You kneel down like this, I'm afraid that these legs are going to be wasted, I'll go to him and talk about it." With that, she lifted her leg and was about to leave.

"Hey, Niangniang, Niangniang stay......" I stopped her and said embarrassedly: "You, you better not go." ”

In Zhou Wei's heart, she is not as good as me, a eunuch, as she is a eunuch, in fact, I believe she knows this in her heart.

She seemed to know what I was thinking, her face instantly darkened, and she sighed faintly and said, "Then you are kneeling like this?" ”

I looked at my knee like a pinprick and smiled sadly: "That's it, I don't feel it after kneeling for a long time." ”

I looked up at her and persuaded, "Niangniang should go first, you can recuperate when you are relaxed, and the slave is not worth your attention." ”

I saw his delicate lips slightly open, and he was about to say something.

At this time, a male voice came from not far away: "It turns out that the queen mother is also here." ”

This voice made my heart palpitate, and my heart became inexplicably complicated, hoping that he would come, but also afraid that he would see that he was embarrassed at the moment.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." After King Mu approached, he bowed respectfully to Zheng Muxin.

Zheng Muxin nodded and smiled, and called in a low voice: "Lord Mu." ”

Her beautiful eyes slowly lifted, and when she looked at King Mu for a moment, it seemed that a stormy wave had occurred, but it was silent.

She didn't seem to dare to look more, so she hurriedly looked away, and her voice was weak but clear: "Lord Mu, how are you doing?" ”

King Mu smiled gently and replied, "Everything is fine. It's the queen mother, and I hope to cherish your body. ”

The reason why King Mu said this must be because he saw that Zheng Muxin's health was slightly ill, and he was much thinner and haggard than before.

"Thank you for your care, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back to the palace." Zheng Muxin lowered his head and said.

"The queen walks slowly." King Mu nodded and said politely.

I suddenly wondered in my heart, why did Zheng Muxin leave so quickly? Every time I go to the Li He Palace, she will ask me about the news of King Mu, two or three times can be said to be unintentional, if it is the same person every time, it is not a coincidence.

Now that they happened to meet together, the topic just started, why did she leave?

However, the moment Zheng Muxin turned around, this question had an answer.

I clearly saw her originally moving eyes, but at this time, her eyes were red and tears were shining.

If she doesn't leave in time, then the next headlines in the palace will be: the queen met King Mu by chance, and tears rained down when she recalled the past.

It wasn't just the two of them who would get into trouble.

How heavy does a person have to weigh in another person's heart, so that just one sentence of cherishment can make her lose control of her emotions and burst into tears.

"Why are you still kneeling, I'm here." King Mu said with a long leg and strode towards me.

His words instantly made me retract all my thoughts.

"I'm here, I'm here......"

I chewed on the taste carefully, and my heart was inexplicably sweet, and my knees didn't hurt much.

He wanted to help me up, but I immediately waved my hand and shook my head, and said, "No, the emperor can't explain it." ”

"Confess what? I went to him. ”

I shook my head and sighed, and said, "If you go to the emperor, he will definitely not be able to refute your face, but as soon as you leave, the emperor's anger will not disappear, and he will definitely change to a more ruthless trick to rectify the slaves and maids." ”

He thought about it, seemed to agree with my opinion, and said with a wry smile: "You know him." ”

He immediately took off his coat, folded it neatly, and squatted down beside me: "Come, lift it with my strength." ”

Before I could react, his arms were already around my waist, and he hugged me upwards and put his coat under my knees.

"Is that better?" He looked at me and asked.

I was a little flattered, nodded blankly and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

My knees were a little more comfortable, and I had a heart of gossip, and I couldn't help asking: "Are the prince and the queen an old acquaintance?" ”

He thought for a while and said noncommittally: "The queen's father, Prime Minister Zheng Cheng, has a very good relationship with his father, and often takes her into the palace to play. ”

When I heard this, I seemed to understand something. There is no such thing as a gratuitous liking in this world, and there is no easy and easy love.

At this time, he was still crouching beside me, staring at me, as if he had no intention of leaving.

I was a little reluctant and said, "The prince will go back first, why bother to accompany the slave and maid." ”

He said lightly: "It's really bitter, it's the pain of being powerless." ”
