Chapter 043: A Master

"When you entered the palace, didn't your upbringing grandmother teach you? A slave can only have one master for a lifetime, and the one who is born is the master's son, and the one who dies is the master's ghost. You've got a brilliant mind, but you've done something stupid. Left and right, stepping on two boats, are you not afraid that one day you will fall to the bottom, climb high and fall heavy? ”

Xiao Qi slowly raised his head, a pair of clear eyes, and showed a helpless smile.

"Come to think of it, you are the general, the most ranked military generals in Duanguo, and there are many helpless people. Slaves and maids are lowly slaves, and their lives are not at their own discretion. All a slave can do is to keep his duty and do what a slave or maid should do, that's all. ”

Meanness is her biggest weakness and the most advantageous trump card.

A person who is humble to the dust is the one who can be ignored by everyone.

Sure enough, Zhan Xiao slowed down his tone: "I don't have to investigate the matter of your poison, or I don't have to expose your appearance here to the king." But you need to remember that if you really have thoughts that are unfavorable to the king, I will not allow it to be the first to fight. You are a Hunan person, since the country is ruined, and Da Chu has given you a way to live, you should abide by your duty as you say. If you see it just now, you can keep your mouth shut, and don't say it to your master, Mei Ji, and I will keep my mouth shut, how about it. ”

Zhan Xiao was relieved like this, and of course Xiao Qi was overjoyed: "The slave lost the carriage today, so I had to return in vain." All the results are at the disposal of Mei Ji Niangniang. ”

Zhan Xiao nodded and returned the pill to Xiao Qi.

"That's fine. ”

Xiao Qi took the pill, and the fear in his heart gradually disappeared.

Zhan Xiao let her go, so easily. She couldn't help but take a keen interest in the little general in front of her, what was it that made him let her go so easily.

Is it really that she can be confused with just a few words?

Zhan Xiao let Xiao Qi go.

Before leaving, Zhan Xiao reminded Xiao Qi that he had saved her life twice, and Xiao Qi nodded ashamedly, indicating that he remembered.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Qi remembered that his master had said that Zhan Xiao was picked up by Xiao Yi, and was later directly promoted to today's position.

Those who were picked up in Duanguo or Xiangguo were likely to be Hunan people.

Perhaps, his pity comes from the blood of his kindred blood, which is why he trusts her so much.

But Xiao Qi also knows that in this life, she can't pin her hopes on 'maybe'.

She had already died once, and the accident would never be allowed to happen again.

Zhan Xiao already knew too many of her secrets, and she had to find a way to make Zhan Xiao never speak up about it.

Thinking like this, Xiao Qi quickly returned to the palace, she didn't notice that before walking out of Wanhua and Lou, a figure had been watching her for a long time.

"It's the little slave next to Mei Ji, and Mei Ji ordered her to come and follow the queen. ”

Zhan Xiao explained respectfully.

Xiao Yi's face was calm, and he seemed to have long been accustomed to such things.

"I remember her, at the sacrificial ceremony, the queen gave it to Mei'er. ”

His eyes were clear, and he clearly remembered Xiao Qi's existence.

"The king is of good cheer, except for the thorn, the others are no different. As for this slave girl, because she was the queen's person, the minister did not deal with it immediately. If the king is not at ease, the minister will immediately send someone to follow her, and he will be sure that she is safe. ”

"She's fine. Xiao Yi was categorical: "It's just that I didn't expect that even my secret guard had a problem." ”

"Don't be discouraged, the king, it's just a few things, and it doesn't represent the whole thing. ”

Xiao Yi sighed secretly, put on his hat, mounted his horse, and rode away.

At the same time, Wanhua and the building, the little girl walked into a room with a smile, and saw the burly figure behind the screen, and the greed on his face became more and more profound.

"The little one has already arranged people properly, I don't know what else is there to do with the little one in charge?"

He looked sideways and landed on the neatly arranged gold ingots on the desk in front of the door.

You must know that unless the person in charge of affairs rewards people, he usually will not put such valuable money on the surface.

He had arranged for the nobles who had been in charge of the affairs, and he must have thought it was appropriate that he would reward him.

Thinking like this, he became more and more happy.

The steward came out slowly from behind the screen, and when he saw that his eyes were about to fall on the gold ingot, he immediately took one and threw it to him.

The little guy didn't hide his personality of liking money at all, and took it all at once.

When you put it in your mouth and bite it, the softness that belongs to real gold is immediately revealed.

It's true.

Real gold.

enough gold for the rest of his life.

Just as the little guy was about to fly up happily, suddenly a hemp rope wrapped around his neck, and before he could react, suddenly his whole body was in the air.

There was a sharp pain in his neck, and the little guy rolled his eyes, staring in disbelief at the steward above his head, who he trusted so much, and couldn't understand why he suddenly attacked him.

"You ......"

The little guy was dying and struggling, but he couldn't shake the rope at all.

His eyes were full of shock and confusion.

Then, there was a creak at the point where the rope was focused.

The little guy's neck was twisted off like this.

The little guy fell to the ground like a mess of mud, and kicked his legs after a few breaths.

The steward unconcernedly straightened up his messed clothes, and picked up the gold ingot from the ground.

This is his reward.

He glanced at the tooth mark that had just been bitten by the little guy with disgust, and then slowly walked to his vault with a plate of gold.

It wasn't long before the queen received news that the little servant had been disposed of. Cui Mama burned the letter clean, and she looked at the queen worriedly, but saw that the queen's expression was very calm.

"Why, do you think I'm too cold?"

The queen glanced at Mama Cui and said.

Cui Mama thought for a while and said, "What Niangniang does, you have a reason." It's just that the slave doesn't understand why the mother wants to ...... to that little guy He's just arranged, and he doesn't know what's going on. ”

"The power of ants can break the embankment of a thousand miles. The king's current situation cannot tolerate sloppiness. In a hurry, I used that little guy, and if I used it, I would never suffer from it. The king is acting secretively today, and he must not let more people know that he is dead alone, and what is the gain? ”

The queen's words made Mama Cui feel a chill down her spine.

She has been serving the queen for ten years, although she is not the queen's dowry, but since the queen entered the palace, she has also been taking care of the queen and is inseparable.

When the queen first entered the palace, although she was a little cautious, she was generally lenient and benevolent, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But as time went by, as her experience in the palace deepened, the queen began to become cold-blooded and ruthless, and even began to go to extremes.

I don't know when it began, in the eyes of the queen, killing a person is as simple as pinching an ant to death.

Mama Cui didn't dare to say anything, but she still had an indelible fear of the queen in her heart.

Today, this little guy can not be killed, sent away, or let the steward's arrangement in the countryside for a few years, why bother with his life to draw an end......

"Is it getting late?" The queen looked outside and said to Mama Cui, "It's not early, go find someone to let Yu Ji come over, we have to go back to the palace." ”

Cui Mama extinguished the brazier, lowered her head and said yes, and when she turned around to speak, she only felt that her chest was stuffy, and an indescribable emotion was suppressed there, and she couldn't shake it off.
