Chapter 186: A Loyal Servant

There are ready-made rattan flakes in this Yuxiu Palace.

It was Mu Xue'e who asked Danzhu to use it to hit Li Yuejiao.

It was in the main hall where Mu Xue'e lived before her death.

Aunt Liu took the rattan whip wrapped in strips of cloth and walked directly towards Mrs. Zhou.

"A-Niang......" Mu Xue'e was so anxious that she circled around Mrs. Zhou and looked at Shen Lingxi, "Miss Shen, you have a lot, my mother is old, she is so impulsive because she is too sad, please ask the girl to intercede with His Royal Highness for me, spare my A-Niang this time......"

Shen Lingxi glanced at her, then turned his eyes lightly, and made it clear that he didn't want to care about this idle matter.

In front of so many people, she couldn't open her mouth to talk to Mu Xue'e's soul.

On the contrary, it was the sisters of the former and later concubines who opened their mouths with nonsense.

"Little girl, do you know how to ask for someone now? When you asked the maid to beat someone yesterday, did you ever think that Li Yuejiao was also weak and sickly? ”

"Yes, yes, although we didn't see you beating people yesterday, the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace have all spread all over the world. I heard that you vomited blood when you beat Li Yuejiao, your mother's life is life, and the life of others is not life? ”

"And when you were a child, the little girl named Xiu'er of the Liu family accidentally bumped into you, you ran behind her and wanted to push people down the lake, although Liu Xiu'er was vigilant and didn't let you succeed, you fell into the water by yourself. But I heard that you, a black-hearted girl, forced the Liu family to marry Liu Xiu'er to a gambler, and she was tortured to death within a few years. “

"When Liu Xiu'er died, your mother specially brought you to this lake to educate you. Say what you want to kill whoever you want, you are left behind, you have such an identity, you want to do what you want to let the next person go. Since then, there has been this rattan, yes or no? ”

"You come to this palace every year, and it's not once or twice that you beat people, your rattan, anyone is afraid when they see it. It's just that your status is noble, and the people who are bullied by you can only swallow their anger and dare not speak out. In this life, what is the cause and what is the effect, have you ever thought about today? ”

"But over the years, if you don't like anyone, you have instructed others to do it, and you have never done it yourself, how did you get killed by Li Yuejiao this time?"

These former and backward concubines wander in the palace all day long, but if they are a little lively, they must be seen to the end.

Even Mu Xue'e didn't expect that her black history from childhood to adulthood would be cleaned up by these female ghosts.

But she has always been sharp-tongued, and if she is usual, she hears the ...... of others Oh no, it's the ghost next to her who exposed her old bottom like this, and she has been spilling trouble for a long time, and she is ruthless.

But now when she heard the ghosts mention Liu Xiu'er, who had died because of her, Twilight Xue'e rarely closed her mouth, her face was stiff and red, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"Whatever you say, I'm dead anyway, and I'm gone!"

Angrily putting down these words, Mu Xue'e knew that Shen Lingxi would not help, so she simply hugged Mrs. Zhou with her soul body.

Mrs. Zhou was still holding on to the psychology of luck, feeling that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, although his momentum was terrifying, might not really punish her.

But it wasn't until this moment that she realized that the other party was real.

She is a dignified Duchess of the country and the queen's sister-in-law.

If she was really beaten in this palace today, and it spread in the future, don't say that it is her, even the grandfather of the country, wouldn't it be shameful to be in the court?

"Grandpa Guo...... Grandpa Guo...... Save the concubine...... "Mrs. Zhou begged her husband for help.

But Mu Tiangang frowned and shook his head at her silently.

In his opinion, His Royal Highness King Ning only punished her for the crime of hurting people according to the law, and did not care about the crime she committed, which was already for the sake of the queen's face and mercy.

The silence of the husband made Mrs. Zhou's heart instantly cold.

Aunt Liu walked up to Mrs. Zhou, whispered her guilt, and asked the palace maid to put Mrs. Zhou on the spring stool, raise the rattan in her hand, and beat Mrs. Zhou with a rattan flogging.

"Smack, smack, slap......"

The sound of rattan pumping on his body echoed in the silent courtyard.

"Ahh......h

Every time she screamed, Mu Xue'e's soul body trembled, and her face was already rippling with tears.

"A-Niang, I knew that this was the case, my daughter should have accumulated more virtue and done good deeds before she was born, and she shouldn't have done so many evil things, even if you suffer with your daughter, it is your daughter who harms you......"

At the same time that Mrs. Zhou was beaten, the embroidered envoy carried Mu Xue'e's body from the Dizang Hall into Yuxiu Palace.

And Danzhu, who was lying on the ground and was removed by Shen Lingxi, also endured the pain, got up from the ground tremblingly, knelt in the middle of the palace, and watched Mrs. Zhou being tortured with tears in his eyes.

Those few Yu Lin Guards and embroidered clothes envoys directly tied them up and knelt on the ground.

After Aunt Liu's execution, she returned to her seat.

Mrs. Zhou lay on her stomach on the spring bench, crying so much that she was sobbing and choking, and she couldn't cry silently.

Forty vines were beaten, and Mrs. Zhou still had the strength to cry, which showed that Aunt Liu was concerned about her identity and showed mercy to her subordinates.

Gong Chengen glanced at the servants and maids who came with him, and wanted them to carry Mrs. Zhou down.

But Mrs. Zhou indiscriminately pulled away their hands, with the intention of stumbling to the end here.

Cheng Engong's face was calm, and he raised his eyes to look at Chu Yan, with a little more pleading in his eyes.

Chu Yan said coldly, "Since Cheng Engong has already come, let's listen here." Come and give Cheng Engong and Mu Shaoqing a seat. ”

Cheng Engong bowed gratefully to Chu Yan.

Mu Huaian stretched out his hand to help him up and sat down on the side.

Everyone invariably ignored Mrs. Zhou, who was lying on the spring bench in the middle of the year.

With the lesson of the forty vines, even if Mrs. Zhou was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to show it, but just sobbed and lay on the spring bench to wipe her tears.

Chu Yan waved his hand at Shen Lingxi, "Since this case has been tried by the Miao Ling Dao Chief, it will be tried by the Miao Ling Dao Chief, so the Miao Ling Dao Leader will continue to try it." ”

As soon as these words came out, none of the people present felt that there was anything wrong.

But the newcomers Mu Tiangang, Mrs. Zhou and Mu Huai'an, all of whom could not hide their surprise.

Mu Tiangang just felt that this was not in line with the style that the imperial grandson had always had, after all, this highness was the most disgusted monk and Taoist warlock in the Great Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou was so shocked that her eyes were about to pop out, and she forgot to continue sobbing for a while.

She moved her lips, wanting to speak out against it, but when she thought of the forty rattan lashes she had just received, she pursed her lips very reluctantly, gritted her silver teeth and glared at Shen Lingxi resentfully.

Mu Huai'an was surprised, but in just over half a month, Chu Yan pushed Shen Lingxi in front of people so unevasively.

The situation in the court is treacherous and dangerous, he let Shen Lingxi be in the limelight in front of people, if he can protect her all the time in the future, if there is a mistake, for Shen Lingxi, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Mu Huai'an's expression was very solemn, and his gaze at Shen Lingxi was also stained with a little worry.

Shen Lingxi didn't think so much, so he saluted and took the order, picked up the silver hairpin that Li Yuejiao had dropped on the ground from the ground, and walked in front of Danzhu.

"You just said that Li Yuejiao stabbed you and Danju with a hairpin, and stabbed the county lord of Bingqing to death. You and Danju are both in a coma, and we don't know what happened next, right? She asked.

Danzhu lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at Chunjun, "What about Danju's maid?" Why didn't you see her coming? ”

Chunjun: "Still in a coma." ”

Shen Ling nodded clearly, and stretched the silver hairpin in his hand into the Danzhu's line of sight, "But this silver hairpin?" ”

"The slave didn't see it clearly, it should be this." Danzhu replied vaguely.

Shen Lingxi smiled, "Then let me ask you, the county lord of Bingqing is hurting his heart, where are you and Danju hurting?" How the hell did she hurt you? ”

"The slave maid and Danju are both injured in the arm." Danzhu quickly replied: "Danju is the left arm, and the slave is the right arm." Danju was defenseless, she was stabbed by her first, fainted, she stood up and ran out, the county lord stepped forward to stop her, and she stabbed into the county lord's heart with a hairpin. The slave reached out to protect the county lord, but she was also stabbed into the right arm, and then she didn't know anything. ”

Shen Lingxi's gaze fell on Danzhu's right arm.

The joint of that arm had just been removed by Shen Lingxi, and it was hanging weakly by her side.

Danzhu is wearing a green and pink skirt at the moment, and the green clothes are now stained by mud and look dirty.

Even so, on the sleeve of the upper arm, a trace of blood can be seen.

The blood stain started in the middle of the upper arm and spread to the inside.

Shen Lingxi's gaze condensed for a few breaths on the bloodstained area before he opened his mouth and asked, "Are you really injured to protect the county lord?" ”

Danzhu: "Exactly. ”

Shen Lingxi stretched out her voice "Oh......", squatted down, her porcelain-white fingertips fell on the joint of her right arm, and she stroked it quickly.

"Hiss......"

With Danzhu's painful hissing of gasp, only a "click" was heard, and the joints of her arms were restored to their original positions by Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi looked at her with a smile, "Now, your arm can move, give me a gesture, how did your right arm protect the county lord and take Li Yuejiao's hairpin?" ”

Shen Lingxi's request made Danzhu stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

It's just that soon, she lowered her eyes and hid it.

Danzhu bit his lip, "Slave maid...... The slave was so flustered that she couldn't remember how to block the hairpin. ”

"It doesn't matter." Shen Lingxi smiled and said, "You can just compare and compare at will." ”

Danzhu raised his hand hesitantly, still looking for a place-——

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Lingxi's smile, and then a silver light flashed, and she raised her hand and stabbed at herself!

Danzhu subconsciously lowered his head and raised his arm to protect the side of his neck.

However, the expected pain did not come-——

Shen Lingxi's clear voice said coldly: "If you use your arms to protect others, whether it is to protect others or yourself, there will definitely be a protective action of raising your arms. When encountering danger, the knee-jerk reaction of ordinary people is to use their arms to protect their most vulnerable parts, such as their neck, just like your reaction at the moment. ”

As she spoke, she put the hairpin in her hand against the outside of her upper arm, "As long as you protect people, the hairpin wounds you receive will definitely start from here and go to the shoulder area." After an injury, the direction of blood flow should also be in the direction of the bone, outward and downward. ”

"But your hairpin wound is on the inside of your upper arm, and the direction of the blood stain is also flowing inward. If what I expected is correct, this injury should be caused by yourself holding a hairpin in your left hand, yes or no? ”

Danzhu was shocked, and hurriedly denied: "What is the Taoist chief talking about, Danzhu doesn't understand, the injury on the slave's arm is indeed the injury of Miss Li, the Taoist and Miss Li are good friends, and yesterday there was a dispute with my master for Miss Li, and now I am reversing black and white and shielding the murderer, so I am not afraid that my master will become a powerful ghost and ask for your life?" ”

Shen Lingxi glanced at Mu Xue'e's ghost next to him.

Touching Shen Lingxi's gaze, Mu Xue'e's eyes fluttered.

It's just that when looking at Danzhu, there is a little more complication.

Shen Lingxi said meaningfully: "I have only heard that the ghosts will only follow the real murderer and ask for their lives, but I have never heard of it, and they will find irrelevant people to ask for their lives......

She said, lowering her voice, and said in a calm tone: "I feel that the evil aura around you is very heavy, and your master seems to have been by your side since last night." ”

A hint of mockery flashed in Danzhu's eyes.

On his face, he made a look of grievance, turned to Mrs. Zhou, who was lying on the spring bench, kowtowed a few times, and cried: "Madam, the county lord died unjustly, and now this Daogu has to reverse black and white, the slave and maid have served the county lord for so many years, and they have sacrificed their lives to protect the county lord, and a loyal heart can show the sun and the moon." ”

"The slave and maid will never allow others to slander the innocence of the slave and maid at will, in order to be able to redress the grievances of the county lord, the slave and maid are nothing to die, even if they die at this moment, the slave and maid only ask you, you must be the master of the county lord!"

As she spoke, she quickly stood up and slammed into the nearest palace wall!

"Stop her!"

Shen Lingxi let out a low snort, and Chunjun flew forward directly, grabbed Danzhu's collar, lifted her whole person, turned around, and threw her to the ground.

The two embroidered messengers stepped forward directly and held her to the ground to prevent her from seeking death again.

Mrs. Zhou originally hated Shen Lingxi to the extreme, but she swallowed her anger because of the punishment she had just received.

Seeing that her trusted and loyal servant would avenge her daughter's grievances to death, Mrs. Zhou was immediately encouraged.

For the sake of her daughter, she suddenly shouted out: "Your Highness, this Miao Ling Dao chief is a murderer suspect, but you let her try the case, Li Yuejiao is the murderer who killed my daughter, you intend to shield that fox girl, you are lustful and dizzy, I don't accept it!" I'm going to see the queen, I'm going to see the emperor, and I'm going to let them do justice for my daughter. ”

Danzhu, who was pressed to the ground by the embroidered messenger, heard Mrs. Zhou's shout, and the corners of his lips hooked up a very strange smile.

Chu Yan frowned, his sharp gaze swept back and forth between Danzhu and Mrs. Zhou, and his deep eyes flashed a hint of abruptness.

Not only him, but everyone on the field, but anyone with a little brain, can see that this girl is wrong.

She was deliberately provoking Mrs. Zhou to provoke the imperial grandson to die.

Shen Lingxi ignored Mrs. Zhou and strode over to Mu Xue'e, who looked eager.

She asked in a low voice, "What happened last night, why are you still reluctant to tell the truth since you were killed by her?" Can't you see that if you don't say it again, your mother will be sent to death by this maid's step by step? ”
