Xiao Qi's footsteps were a little empty.

Mei Ji's shrewd eyes have been lingering in her mind for a long time.

She almost did it.

But at the last minute, she stopped.

It's not just because Mei Ji made a foreshadowing for her, which looks very weird and makes her question.

also because, she no longer intends to obey the queen.

This decision was made only in a split second.

The powder in her nails, before she touched the sweet soup, she stopped in time.

If they don't kill Mei Ji immediately, the queen will use Su Lian as a bargaining chip, but if they kill Mei Ji, will they really be able to get out?

Someone will have to bear the guilt.

Just like the person who buried Chang Ji, if you kill someone, you must be punished. No one has the right to know the queen's secrets, even if she can escape the eyes of Huichang and Chun Yumin, it is impossible for her to escape the queen's clutches.

When the time comes, there is really no way back.

She can't do anything about it until she thinks of it, and until she has the ability to escape the consequences of this incident.

So, Xiao Qi gave up.

As it turned out, she did the right thing.

Mei Ji was far more wary of her than she imagined.

Her every move is under Meiji's surveillance. Perhaps, Mei Ji's low mood itself is pretended, just to make her feel that Mei Ji has no precautions and can wait for an opportunity to start.

Sure enough, it's a good plan.

In his mouth, there was still a faint sweet smell of sweet soup, but Xiao Qi always had a feeling of wanting to vomit.

The human heart is so terrible.

Judging from Fang Cai's situation, it must have been Hui Chang who told Mei Ji about her poisoning.

However, how could Hye-chang help Mi-ki so much.

This question has always been lingering in Xiao Qi's heart, but he can't answer it.

Chun Yumin had been waiting for Xiao Qi for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Qi coming back, he immediately shouted: "You kneel down for me!"

Xiao Qi immediately knelt on the ground.

"What the hell is going on today, you have to give me an explanation!"

The few female slaves left in the slave house looked at this side one after another, not understanding why Xiao Qi, who had always been the most diligent, was punished by Chun Yumin.

Chun Yumin was really angry.

She felt that Xiao Qi was very attentive today, but since the work was distributed to the slave house, and there was a fork in the matter, Chun Yumin didn't think much about it and handed over the sweet soup to Xiao Qi.

Unexpectedly, it was negligence at this time that almost caused a catastrophe.

Mei Ji won't appreciate Xiaoqi sweet soup for no reason, she must have noticed something.

Chun Yumin has been in the palace for decades, and of course he knows what it is.

Fortunately, Xiao Qi drank the sweet soup and was fine, and Mei Ji didn't say much.

But this kind of thing, Chun Yumin doesn't want it to happen a second time.

No matter who she used to be, now, she belonged to the slave house of Fengtian Pavilion, and she would not let this kind of life-losing thing happen again.

"The first time I saw you, I knew you were an idea. But you know the consequences of what you do. There are more than a dozen female slaves in the slave house, and you are willing to be buried with you. ”

Xiao Qi lowered his head. She knew that she couldn't hide anything from Chun Yumin's eyes.

"Mama, there are some things that the slave and maid are not willing to do alone. It's just a last resort, and it has to be done. ”

"I have to do it, let me tell you, you don't want to get involved in today's events again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless, go back to the Queen Mother first, and throw you out of the palace!"

Chun Yumin roared: "You don't want to die, they still want it." Do you know that what you do will implicate all the slaves who enter the palace. They're all going to die for safety! How many heads do you have to bear such a big sin. ”

Xiao Qi bit his lip.

Yes, if she is set to be a slave and kill Mei Ji. Then all the slaves will be relegated to coolies, or even directly killed in exchange for a new batch.

Slaves kill their masters, and it is uncertain whether there will be slaves in the harem.

This is not simply a matter of her and Su Lian's two lives, but also the way out for all Hunan slaves in the future.

"Mama, the slave didn't do anything. ”

"Amitabha, you haven't done anything, you really have that thought, we people have already been the souls of your subordinates!"

Chun Yumin pulled out his whip and pointed at Xiao Qi: "Today, you must have a long memory. I'll give you ten lashes, will you take it?"

Chun Yumin is a well-known slave in the palace, and he will not easily take out a whip to beat people.

This time, she was really angry and frightened.

In order not to make Xiao Qi make the same mistake, she had to do it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi did not beg for mercy, but knelt there, looking like he was at his disposal.

"The slave and maid are served, but they are obeyed by the teachings of Mama Chun. It is Mama's guardianship of our slaves. ”

"Are you still unconvinced?"

Xiao Qi said: "Slaves and maids are not subject to the slave situation, and they are destined to be inferior if they do not accept us. ”

"What did you say?!"

I didn't expect Xiao Qi to suddenly say such a rebellious thing, and Chun Yumin was even more angry.

"If the slave is not mistaken, Mama is from Chu, why do you still care so much about slavery. ”

"You also know that you are a slave!" Chun Yumin reprimanded: "Look at the slaves around you, they are all keeping to themselves, who is like you, who is more bold than the sky." It's just that you're presumptuous in front of the chief of the guard, and now even Mei Ji Niangniang has noticed you. I still say the same thing, I have no right to stop you if you want to die, but if you implicate others and kill all the slaves, I will definitely be the first to kill you!"

"Mama wants to beat me today, because I think Hunan people are also people. But are the Hunan people really human? Mama has been in Fengtian Pavilion for a few months, and she really doesn't know anything?"

Xiao Qi said quickly: "Those guards, how did they treat them. How the master oppressed them. The humble cannot even have their own thoughts, they can only be forced to obey and live in the cracks. And is it really right that noble people, good or bad, are on high above?"

"Where did you get these words, see if I don't kill you!"

Mama always said that slaves and maids come up, and they always dislike slaves and maids for causing trouble, but if the disaster is really hidden, can it be avoided? Mama knows why the slave and maid came, and she also knows that the slave and the maid are like an ant, and anyone can step on it. It's just that the slave and maid are obedient and obedient, and they can keep the whole slave safe? The slave and maid ask themselves, it doesn't have such a big effect. ”

Chun Yumin's hanging whip stopped in mid-air, and it didn't fall for a long time, as if he was listening to Xiao Qi's words.

"Mama's guardianship in the palace, the slave and maid are grateful, and the slave and maid also know that the reason why Mama came to Fengtian Pavilion is to protect the dozen lives in the slave house, right. ”

Chun Yumin was slightly stunned.

"Mama is cautious and guards the slaves everywhere, but can a simple protection ensure that they are all alive?"
