25. Provocation
If that night was a miserable one, then it was just the beginning. From that day on, not only did I not sleep at night, I had to polish Zili's ink, but I was also promoted from just a sweeping girl to a full-time girl during the day, which means that all the big and small jobs in the Zixin Pavilion were all done by me. Including bringing water to him in the morning, washing and changing clothes, etc.
The other maids looked at my little eyes, envy and jealousy, I pulled one of them, then this job and one of the exchanges, the little maid immediately smiled, I was happy. Because her job is to prune the flowers and plants in the garden, which is extremely easy, and I can think of the best of both worlds.
While playing a small song, the old god was strolling around here and there, and it was very strange that this demon world could also grow flowers. It stands to reason that my mother was in charge of the entire flower world at the beginning, and then there was a big war between the heavens and demons, and the flower seeds should have been withdrawn from the demon world. It must be that the Demon Venerable Soul is immortal to my mother's thief, and quietly hid some of the seeds. This heart may not be punishable, but it is dirty, there are black crows, and I am still thinking about my mother.
Just when I was criticizing the evil behavior of the Demon Venerable, the maid hurriedly ran over, and when I got closer, I found that her face was full of tears, and she grabbed my sleeve and cried and begged: "Miss Qinglian, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore." Go back quickly, I'll just come here. After saying that, he snatched the big scissors from my hand and ran into the flowers.
It happened so suddenly that I didn't even say a word, and the little maid was gone. When I trotted into the Purple Heart Pavilion, I knew what was going on from the debris all over the floor. Dong'er took my hand in hiding, and whispered: "Girl, go in quickly, the king is so angry, really, I asked you to stay away from the king, but he still found out, and now he has removed my position, and I have to start as a little maid." β
"Qinglian! If you don't come in, the debris on the ground will be your end. "A threat of implicit anger came from inside the house, and I was terrified to hear it. I didn't care about listening to the bitter water of Dong'er, and hurriedly ran inside, and when I entered the door, I saw an object flying towards me, and I reflexively raised my hand to grab it, and the one I held in my hand was the inkstone that I polished every night, and this inkstone had heard him say that the bottom was made of extremely rare black jade, and if it was smashed, it would not be counted on my head.
It's just that there seems to be ink in the inkstone, and my face is cold, I raised my hand and touched it, crying, my hands are full of ink, you can imagine what my face has become at this time. The saddest thing in the world is me, the green lotus has become a black lotus.
Pestle it in front of him bitterly, and don't say anything, just let you deal with it.
Zili crossed his eyebrows and glared angrily, and his burning gaze almost pierced me, "I don't want to stay?" You miss the old handyman's house, don't you? In that case, I will fulfill you at once, comeβ" I stepped forward and grabbed him by the sleeve and begged in a low voice, "No." β
He lowered his eyelashes and floated my hand, then back to my face, and asked, "Why not?" Tell me why. β
This time, I didn't have any consideration or consideration, and immediately said the reason in a loud voice: "Because the food in the Purple Heart Pavilion is better than the miscellaneous room!" "The food in the miscellaneous room is estimated to be too low, so it is all leftovers, unlike the Purple Heart Pavilion, which is full of delicious food that resembles the mortal world, and I am very happy to eat.
But someone's face darkened most of the time, and he gritted his teeth: "Qinglian! β
"Yo!" I raised my voice in response.
But the next moment, I felt that my hand was tight, and my body fell forward, right in his arms, and his nose and eyes were full of his breath. As soon as I wanted to open my mouth to protest against this cold violence, my lips were gagged, my voice was eaten, and only my "whining" sound was heard, which looked very desolate in the silent space, and then even my silent protest was swallowed up, and I could only stare at him and glare at him and then again...... In the end, I chose to close my eyes.
Because I found that if I compare with Zili who has a powerful eye, it will definitely be killed in seconds. The rest of the matter became out of control, and seeing someone's hands getting more and more outrageous, and my clothes fading less and less, I couldn't bear to push him, but he was like a mountain, not moving. Luckily, my mouth was free, as his lips had extended down to his neck.
"Purple is enough! Don't forget that I killed Heifeng with the Purple Heart Needle, and I am the daughter of the Sacred Heart, and we are each other's father-killers and mother-killers. "This is an enmity that is not shared with the sky, and if you take it out every once in a while, you can always have unexpected gains.
No, Zili, who had already entered the emotion, froze instantly, his whole body stiffened, he raised his head, and saw that there was anger in his dark red eyes, not to mention others, even the entire room was frozen in that instant, secretly flowing with the aura of Xiao Killing.
"Qinglian, you are really bold enough, you really spare no effort to provoke me! Do you know what will happen if you anger me? β
Although at this time, I was pressed by him on his lap and could only look up at him, and those sharp eyes were also staring at me, and the murderous aura was like a dark arrow shooting at me, the situation was obviously in a weak position, but what I was best at was to win in danger, otherwise how could I insert the purple heart needle into the black crow's heart. I pulled up a smile that I thought was perfectly angled: "I'm looking forward to it." β
As soon as the words fell, Zili was furious, and my ass was also suffered, and I was thrown to the ground directly by him, and I really fell to the ground on all fours, and I grinned in pain, and before I could get up, I heard a roar that deafened my ears: "Come on, drag this bitch out." "I looked left and right to see if there was any other who had angered him so much, and when I found that there was no one else in the house, I remembered that I was the one now.
Soon, someone appeared outside, panicked, didn't care about me, and really grabbed one of my hands and dragged it out. Comfort in my heart: This is very good, at least I don't have to suffer from his hot and watery torture, the last time was a lesson of iron and blood! It was only later that I found out that there was a red spot on the bed that seemed to be bloodstained, and I was very afraid. Therefore, this time it is necessary to fight the risk of angering him, and to avoid the punishment of the cool official.
Originally, I was glad that I was just dragged out, and it didn't matter if I lost some face. After entering the courtyard, the steward immediately heard the sound, and after listening to what the two guards said just now, his face suddenly fell, and he reprimanded angrily: "Bold Qinglian, you dare to commit a crime against the king!" Twenty lashes to set an example! β
When I heard that last sentence, I was horrified, flogging?! Soon I saw the steward pull out the whip on his waist, and when he looked closely, he had a faint heart, and there were barbs erecting on it, and he was whipped a whip, and he had to take off a layer of skin? Wait, how much did he just say? Twenty!
"Wait!" I immediately wanted to protest, but the steward's whip had already swung up, hit me in the arm, and with a hula tore my sleeves, and soon the hole was torn, and blood beads were pouring out. The rest of the people retreated into the distance, and I was the only one left in the whole courtyard, and I glared at him angrily: "I said wait, you are deaf." "He actually whipped me indiscriminately, but the steward didn't dump me at all, and the whip in his hand came at me again.
This time I didn't stand stupidly, and ducked to the side, but the whip seemed to have eyes, and it actually turned around, and another whip was whipped on my back, and the burning pain was like the flesh scraped off by the barbed thorns. I didn't care about shouting pain, and I swung another whip, but I couldn't avoid it no matter how I dodged, and then I understood that the steward was using the magic whip, no matter where he ran, as long as he wanted to fight, he would definitely be able to hit it.
In a matter of moments, I had been whipped five times, and finally the whip knocked me directly to the ground, and there was no place in my body that was my own, and my eyes were full of stars, and I even took in less air and exhaled more, because even breathing would hurt my heart. I thought, after a few more whips, I guess my breath will be broken, it's really pitiful that I wasn't burned to death by the black crow with the nether flame, but was actually whipped to death, this kind of death is really shameless.
Lying there, my mind turned over countless times, and I didn't wait for the whip to fall, and I couldn't help but look up strangely, but I saw that Zili was already standing in front of me, looking at me condescendingly: "Are you convinced?" I bared my teeth at him and asked, "What?" Do you take medication? Probably not yet. "Otherwise, I won't be able to climb and I won't be able to get up, this person just asked knowingly.
"Qing'er! I really didn't see that you were so arrogant, do you know that Suzaku's twenty lashes may not even be able to withstand the white tiger, do you want to mess around with me like this again and not let go? β
I squinted at him, not so pretending to be deep, but because my vision was a little blurry, and everywhere I was hit by the whip, the pain was numb, but it was attacking my cranial nerves. But I still recognized the key words from his words, so I asked, "Aze was also beaten?" Why? "It's just a beast, what mistake can it make to deserve such a punishment?
As far as the eye could see, the tall Zili seemed to be angry, his palm was raised, and immediately a storm surged around him, "Qing'er, you really don't shed ......tears when you don't see the coffin" I gradually couldn't hear the words clearly, I could only see that his lips were moving, and finally his eyelids couldn't hold on and fell into darkness.
In the grogginess, I felt the warmth on my face again, and I naturally leaned in, soft and comfortable. Yes, I still had good welfare after fainting, without Zili's fierce words and yin and yang weirdness, and without the whipping of the cool officials, I slept peacefully. When I became conscious again, I felt that my back was cool and cool, like a feather brushing by, and I could bear some itching.
It seemed that someone was talking in my ears, but I couldn't hear what was being said, and when I was ready to listen, I fell silent again.
