Chapter 58 Who doesn’t know how to play the role of a weak little white flower?
"Thank you Aunt Qiu Sui." Chu Liuzheng sniffed and leaned on the soft pillow behind him. When he glanced around, he found that there were quite a few people in the room, and everyone who should be there was there. Even Concubine Rong looked unhappy. Sitting on a table not far away, he rolled his eyes at her when he saw her looking over.
"Where are you looking?" Xiao Jingfan was very unhappy at being ignored, "You are as timid as a rabbit in front of me on weekdays, and your harsh tone can scare you away. I didn't know you were capable of causing a scene in Huaqing Palace."< br>
This may sound like a scolding, but it is actually a defense, and it is a defense with a very obvious bias.
When it fell on everyone's ears, many people's expressions changed.
Concubine Rong Gui secretly cursed: Fox Meizi!
Why didn't you burn this fox to death just now?
Seeing Chu Liuzheng sitting blankly without speaking, Xiao Jingfan frowned, "Reply, are you stupid?"
"You're not stupid." Chu Liuzheng muttered in a low voice.
She was really surprised that the tyrant would choose to protect her.
She thought she would never wake up after fainting.
[Actually, dying while fainting is quite good, at least it won’t hurt. 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Doesn’t this woman cherish her life? Why do you always want to die today?
If this woman dies, where can he find a second system?
"Just reply if you're not stupid." Xiao Jingfan looked bad, "Why are you making such a fuss in Huaqing Palace?"
Chu Liuzheng wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to reply.
The people in this room were older than her official, and she really couldn't lie down.
But as soon as his hand touched the quilt, he immediately shrank in pain, "Oh!"
Xiao Jingfan also frowned, and his tone became even colder, "That's it. The imperial doctor said that if you don't take good care of your hand for two months, it will be considered useless."
[I also want to open a restaurant after I leave the palace. My hands must be strong. 】
Chu Liuzheng immediately became honest and lowered his eyes and said: "To answer your Majesty's question, I am the one who serves tea in front of you. The most important thing is these hands. Even if it is not for myself, I must protect these hands for your Majesty's sake." .”
"But..." Chu Liuzheng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Baorong, who was kneeling next to Concubine Rong with half of his face wrapped in gauze. "Eunuch Zhang wanted to use boiling water to destroy the slave's hand, so the slave had no choice but to resist."
Then, she explained in detail what Zhang Baorong had done to her, which made many maids feel their hearts twitching.
That's just boiling water, pouring it on your hands like this, how can you bear it?
No wonder he was injured like that. He even fainted and screamed about the pain in his dreams.
Chu Liuzheng didn't speak loudly, but the room was quiet and everyone could hear him.
She didn't mention Concubine Rong at all, but she mentioned Concubine Rong like every sentence.
After all, the incident happened in Huaqing Palace, and it happened in front of Concubine Rong. Without the tacit approval of Concubine Rong, how could Zhang Baorong dare to act so arrogantly?
Several times Concubine Rong wanted to interrupt, but Xiao Jingfan blocked her with a fleeting glance. Her beautiful face suddenly showed a bit of grievance, and she felt secretly resentful in her heart.
——Xianglu also said that this little hooves is not a fox. This person has not yet become His Majesty, but he has coaxed His Majesty to protect him like this. Is it really okay for him to become one?
"This servant knows that people are soft-spoken, so she is afraid of accidentally bumping into the nobles. Whenever she has free time, she hardly steps out of Nongyun Garden, let alone said a word to Eunuch Zhang."
Chu Liuzheng blinked as he spoke, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, dripping on the brocade quilt and blooming into small flowers.
[Who doesn’t know how to play the role of a weak little white flower? 】
She sobbed softly, her blinking eyelashes covered with tiny drops of water, "I don't know when I offended Eunuch Zhang, but Eunuch Zhang hated me so much that I had to take my life."
[The imperial concubine cannot afford to offend, so she can only target this dead eunuch first. 】
She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Jingfan timidly, her eyes as red as a rabbit, looking pitiful and cute at the same time.
"It doesn't matter if Eunuch Zhang tortures the slave, but the slave is the person who serves the emperor. Doesn't Eunuch Zhang not take His Majesty seriously by doing this?"
"I don't dare!" Zhang Baorong couldn't let Chu Liuzheng continue talking any longer and said urgently, "Your Majesty clearly knows that I have no intention of disrespecting Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jingfan turned back to look at him, his eyes were like cold pools, and his eyes were like daggers, almost piercing him through. It’s over!
Zhang Baorong hurriedly grabbed the hem of Concubine Rong's skirt next to him, as if grasping a life-saving straw, "I beg your empress, for the sake of your servant's dedication in serving me in the past, please intercede for me."
"Let go!" Concubine Rong glared at him displeased.
——Damn slave, her skirt was wrinkled by her!
Zhang Baorong let go of his hand in frustration, still looking at Concubine Rong longingly, his eyes full of longing for life.
This slave is loyal and easy to use, so Concubine Rong naturally wants to protect him.
She stood up and bowed elegantly to Xiao Jingfan first, her voice was very sweet and sweet.
"Your Majesty, although Zhang Baorong was wrong, it is true that the maid made a big fuss in the Huaqing Palace and was disrespectful to the concubines. Since Your Majesty exempted the maid from the punishment, in the opinion of fairness, Zhang Baorong should be dealt with lightly."
< br>
"I see that he has repented, so why don't I give this slave half a year's salary, a small punishment but a big warning, and spare him this time."
[My aunt’s ruined hand and almost disfigurement is worth half a year’s monthly salary? ! 】
Chu Liuzheng's lungs were about to explode.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I know that people in the palace have never been treated as human beings, but when this kind of injustice happens to me, it is always particularly difficult to accept it.
She hung her head tightly, biting her lips until they almost bled, so as not to curse at Concubine Rong.
[It’s good to be able to save a small life now. Chu Liuzheng, remember, you are just an inconspicuous little palace maid. She is the doting concubine in the harem. There is a strong family support behind her. Even the tyrant must be polite. Wait, why do you, a powerless person, compare yourself to others? Think about your family, think about the good life after leaving the palace, hold it back, hold it back, don’t be angry! 】
Even with this thought, Chu Liuzheng felt more and more aggrieved and his nose felt sore.
She didn't know where this grievance came from. She only knew that the tears she was pretending to fall became more and more fierce, and they almost wet the quilt.
【Crying ball! What a shame! Stop crying! ! 】
Chu Liuzheng sniffed and tried to hold back his tears.
With tears in his eyes, a long and slender hand appeared in front of him.
The big hand held a handkerchief and wiped her face randomly, wiping away all the tears.
Xiao Jingfan pursed his lips, and there was annoyance in his brows.
He has never done this kind of thing before, and now it is particularly difficult for him to do it.
But no matter how impatient he was, he didn't want to change someone else to take over.
While wiping, he said: "Since the noble concubine begged for mercy, I will spare this slave's life."
Chu Liuzheng's eyes dimmed, really...
Zhang Baorong was overjoyed, but before he could thank him, Xiao Jingfan continued: "Small punishments and big warnings are necessary, Zhou Yuande, did you hear clearly what this slave did?"
Zhou Yuande bowed: "Return to your Majesty, I heard you clearly."
"Then I will pay you back twice as much." Xiao Jingfan threw away the tear-stained handkerchief, "If the pain is not on you, how can you learn a lesson? How can you regret it?"
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!" Zhang Baorong was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his body was trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Rong called out dissatisfied and aggrievedly, but she only hurt the hands of this little hoof. There are so many people in the palace who know how to make tea, so where are her hands missing?
Xiao Jingfan did not look back. When he saw Chu Liuzheng staring at him blankly, his eyes were still red, but the tears had stopped flowing, and his frown relaxed a little.
"The imperial concubine's rule is not strict. After returning to the palace, she has to clean up the entire Huaqing Palace. Don't come out before the queen mother's birthday banquet."
