069 Find Fault
When I looked in the mirror the next morning, I was instantly stunned...... Oh, my God!
People grow strawberries, but this Nima is dragon fruit! It is like a large ugly birthmark, which is particularly eye-catching.
I had no choice but to wrap a scarf around my neck, and I had to wrap it in several layers so that it wouldn't come through. In the scorching summer, the prickly heat is about to come out.
After I went out, I went to find Nangumo as soon as possible, this girl must be fine, otherwise I will blame myself to death.
Fortunately, I saw her alive again, and we asked each other almost at the same time, "Are you okay?" ”
I asked, "What the hell happened last night?" ”
She replied, "Not long after you left, I heard the sound of a chariot coming towards your room, and I didn't know what to do, so I had to flee through the back window in a hurry." ”
I couldn't help but laugh: "You're smart, it's okay." ”
She lowered her voice and asked me, "Who went last night?" ”
I only said vaguely: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the emperor has something to tell me temporarily." ”
I was afraid that she would ask more, so I immediately said, "I won't tell you more, I still have an errand to do." ”
But she suddenly grabbed me, stared at the scarf around my neck, and asked worriedly, "Is it that the emperor is embarrassed when he sees that you are not there?" ”
I shook my head: "No, I have a cold, and my throat hurts." ”
I came to the main hall of the Beast Palace and found that King Mu was also there, sitting and chatting with Zhou Wei across the case.
Zhou Wei sat across the door and saw me first, but saw that his face sank and said, "You have become the master, when has this happened?" ”
I didn't speak, obviously he was just finding fault, I used to snooze late, and he didn't say anything.
King Mu also turned his head to look at me, and he immediately noticed the change in me, his eyes locked on the scarf around my neck, and asked, "What's wrong with my neck?" ”
Zhou Wei always thought that there was a deep master-apprentice relationship between me and King Mu, so he was not surprised that King Mu cared about me.
I shook my head slightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little cold." ”
Zhou Wei was bowing his head and drinking tea, and when he heard me say this, he suddenly moved, but soon continued and did not speak.
I don't know what would have happened if King Mu had found out what had happened last night, but I don't want him to know anyway.
"I've got medicine there." King Mu looked at me and said.
I unconsciously avoided his gaze and said, "Thank you for your care, the slave has already used medicine." ”
He said he had medicine there, meaning that I should take the time to go to him.
After counting that we have not had the opportunity to be alone for many days, I am naturally happy to go to him, but I can only refuse, otherwise the marks on my neck will be exposed, and the matter will be serious.
King Mu didn't speak again, he must have wondered in his heart, what happened to me?
Before Wang Mu left, he glanced at me, his eyes were a little deep, a little probing, and he didn't say anything after all.
As for Zhou Wei's mental illness, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and became even more cautious in front of him, especially afraid of making mistakes.
Seeing that he was hot, I quickly shook the fan, when I was tired, I rubbed my shoulders and beat my back, coughed, I quickly served tea and poured water, and did not give him a chance to pick my thorns at all.
But the more this happens, the more bored Zhou Wei seems to be, and he keeps making trouble for me. He said that the tea he had just brewed was cold, and he swept his backhand and fell to the ground, and the tea and tea splashed my feet, and I almost jumped up.
He gave me a quick glance and then turned back, his expression a little stiff. After a moment, he asked, "Does it hurt?" "There was something unnatural about him.
I was a little angry, and my stubborn temper suddenly came up, and I only said, "Go back to the emperor, it doesn't hurt." ”
He suddenly looked at me, his eyes were cold and hard: "It doesn't hurt, go to work!" ”
I went violently, in the past two days, a large number of summer flowers have been paid tribute in the palace, and I will supervise the palace people to move flowers under the big sun, which is also better than staying with Zhou Wei, the plague god!
I even feel like he's like a child desperately looking for a sense of existence, who needs to be coaxed by an adult, and if you take care of everything and don't give him a chance to cry, he'll try to do it!
When I returned to my room in the evening, I found a tray on the table that did not belong to me, with three medicine bottles neatly arranged, a plate of fresh pears, and a delicate sprig of jasmine.
My heart warmed, and I felt a faint joy. Today, each palace is divided into summer flowers, and King Mu only needs a few pots of jasmine.
I picked up the sprig of jasmine and sniffed it lightly on the tip of my nose, the fresh smell stretched my body and mind, as if it had driven away my day's irritability in an instant.
I picked up another piece of Sydney pear and put it in my mouth, this pear tasted like a tribute from afar, sweet, crunchy and juicy very refreshing, I chewed slowly, slowly thinking about him......
The next day, I got up early and rushed to Zhou Wei's beast palace, trotting all the way, for fear that he would find me again if I was late.
However, to my surprise, even though I came so early today, Zhou Wei still woke up, which is not his style at all.
But I could feel that the atmosphere in the room was very wrong, Zhou Wei was sitting in front of the mirror with his back to me, while the palace people behind him were kneeling on the ground, everyone was trembling, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
I am not unfamiliar with this kind of scene, and it is conceivable that Zhou Wei just made a big surge not long ago.
I quietly approached, and at this time, Caiyue, the eldest palace maid kneeling at the front, secretly glanced up at me, her eyes seemed to ask me for help.
Cai Yue is Zhou Wei's most proud palace maid, since she ascended the throne, she has been responsible for Zhou Wei's grooming and dressing, and she has never made a mistake.
But Zhou Wei has been like a big aunt recently, and her personality is surprisingly changeable, and she can't imagine that even Caiyue will be implicated today.
If this situation had been put in the past, I would still have a little bit of a score in my heart, but recently Zhou Wei has been making trouble for me, and I am also a little frightened in my heart, but no matter if it doesn't work, I can't hide from it after all.
I gently came to Zhou Wei's side and asked, "Your Majesty, you have thousands of bodies, why do you bother to be angry with the palace people?" Why don't slaves serve you? ”
Zhou Wei always sat with his back to me, did not move or speak, he was only wearing a single coat, and the others were thrown to the ground messily.
I lowered my body and picked them up one by one, and gave Cai Yue a look, asking her to take the palace people out first.
Cai Yue trusted me more, gave me a grateful look, and then got up cautiously, and was about to step back out.
Who knew that Zhou Wei suddenly shouted at this time: "Who the hell told you to move?" ”
His voice was roaring, so sudden and furious that everyone present, including me, shuddered with terror.
Then, all the people knelt on the ground again, trembling and begging: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry......"
I asked them to go, and I couldn't shirk my responsibility at this time, so I said, "Your Majesty, it was the slave maid who told them to go down first, and you can dissipate your anger if you don't see them......"
Zhou Wei suddenly turned his head to look at me at this time, his eyes were cold: "You, what do you think you are?" And did I do the Lord? ”
Zhou Wei was like a convulsion, I was speechless, but in front of so many people, I only hoped that it would be a big deal, so I admitted my mistake and said: "The slave knows that she is wrong, so she naturally doesn't dare to be the emperor's master." ”
Zhou Wei ignored me, but looked at the trembling Caiyue and scolded: "You idiot, you don't even recognize your master?" Listen to him. ”
Cai Yue's face turned blue with fright, and she kowtowed again and again: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave knows that it is wrong, and the slave knows that it is wrong." ”
I can't help but feel a little anxious when I see this, but don't hurt Caiyue because of me. So he hurriedly explained: "Cai Yue has been doing her best to serve the emperor by her side, and she was unintentionally offended just now, and the slaves and maids just hope that the emperor will not hurt his body because of his anger." ”
"Alright." Zhou Wei became even more angry, looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Are you teaching me what to do?!" ”
Mom sells batches! I could only hold back my anger and say, "The slave doesn't dare to ......"
He glanced at Caiyue and them again, his expression revealing cruelty, "I have to punish them severely today!" ”
Unexpectedly, my words not only didn't work, but made things worse, as if Zhou Wei had an opinion about me and then turned his anger on Caiyue.
I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't know what to do, whether I should persuade or keep silent.
"Someone, pull her and throw her into the inkwell." Zhou Wei shouted.
The guards outside the door immediately responded.
I don't know what the "ink pool" Zhou Wei is talking about? Do you want to use ink to soak the moon?
However, when I saw Caiyue hearing the word ink pool, she almost fainted in fright, and cried hoarsely to Zhou Wei: "The emperor doesn't want it, the slave knows ...... wrong."
I panicked inexplicably, completely unaware of what was going to happen next.
Cai Yue was so frightened that she was paralyzed, and was dragged all the way by the guards to another room, and I didn't know why, so I quickly chased after her.
The house is not very large, but there is a large open space in the center of the room, and tables and chairs are placed around it, as if there is a stage in the center of the room, and a circle of people around it is an audience.
At this time, Zhou Wei was already sitting in the best seat on the steps, his face was full of interest, and he seemed to be waiting for a good show to appear.
I've been here before, and I always thought it was for singing and dancing, but at this moment, I'm a little confused, what Zhou Wei brought Caiyue here for.
And Na Caiyue was close to a state of madness, she was not begging for mercy, but crying: "Your Majesty, kill the slave maid......"
"Ah~ let me die!!" Her pale face was filled with tears, but more of it was fear, fear that went deep into the bone marrow.
What is she afraid of? I look around this room, where is the inkwell?
As I was stunned, I heard a faint mechanical sound, the activation of the mechanism, exactly the same as I had heard before I fell into the snake's nest, and I immediately became nervous and looked around for something that had happened in the room.
The next moment, I heard a sound coming from under my feet, and it was continuous, like an iron chain pulling something.
When I looked at the ground, I was stunned that the floor in the center of the room had cracked in half and slowly pulled apart to the sides.
This is the inkpool?!
I vaguely heard a small sound below, but I couldn't make out what it was, and I cautiously walked into the edge of the inkwell and looked down, and a fishy smell came to my face.
I quickly covered my mouth and nose, and saw that it was as black as ink and glowing with a strange glow, but I could see that it was not water, but a messy crawl.........
Lizard! Black-skinned lizards!
I saw that my scalp was numb and I had goosebumps.
The snakeskin lizards were as dense as ink, and they crawled and squeezed in the pool, and they crawled and squeezed......
It turns out that the inkwell is like this......
