"Mom... a snake suddenly crawled into my bed..." Xiao Qiluo was also frightened, her face was as white as paper, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Liusu quickly picked her up and patted her
Holding her back——
"Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...it's okay." She was still frightened. Such a terrifying green snake actually appeared in her daughter's bed. If she was bitten...she didn't dare to think about it anymore. From today onwards
, we can no longer sleep separately from Qiluo, we have to sleep in the same bed as before.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a snake used for medicinal purposes. It doesn't bite people." Zhu Minglie said to Qiluo.
"Yeah." Qiluo nodded.
"Take the master back to Xunluo Garden." Zhu Minglie said to Lan'er again.
"Yes, Fourth Master."
After Qiluo left, Luo Nian came over, and the hidden weapon in his hand suddenly flew out. The snake immediately broke into three sections, and Wu Yazi walked down from the bed.
"What's going on?" Zhu Minglie asked coldly.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to respond. Everyone was frightened. They could not bear the responsibility of frightening the little master.
"Say!" Zhu Minglie looked at the eight-year-old child Wu Yazi.
Wu Yazi said:
"Bai Chun Zhu Ye Qing was raised by people in the mansion. Someone put Zhu Ye Qing's favorite food in this room and brought the snake in with the intention of biting the little mistress and poisoning her."
When Liusu heard this, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat——
"Why? Who wants to deal with my Qiluo?" Zhu Minglie loves Qiluo. Everyone knows that there are still slaves in this palace who dare to disobey him? She suddenly felt a cold feeling rising in her heart.
Feel.
Who among the four princes wants to deal with their mother and daughter?
"Everyone, wait, come to the main hall!" Zhu Minglie waved his sleeves and walked towards the main hall with anger all over his body. Liusu also followed, and the minions followed him tremblingly.
*
In the main hall, Zhu Minglie was sitting at the top, his face was cold and he said nothing.
A low and depressing atmosphere filled the air. The slaves knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath. Liusu sat next to Zhu Minglie, her simple mind filled with confusion and doubts.
"If you don't protect the master well, everyone will be punished. I will give you thirty lashes with the rod and drive you out of the palace!" After a long time, Zhu Minglie spoke, and with one sentence, everyone was sent to hell.
When Liusu heard this, he was shocked. Although it was for Qiluo, could this punishment be...could it be too severe? And the kid Wuyazi, hadn't he caught the snake, which was considered a good protection?
Why should we punish Qiluo?
"Slave/slave, thank you Fourth Master for your kindness."
"Go down immediately to receive your punishment." There was no room for maneuver.
"Yes..." Everyone stood up and prepared to receive the punishment.
"Wait a minute..." Liusu, who was sitting next to Zhu Minglie, suddenly stood up and stopped him loudly.
Zhu Minglie raised his eyes and glanced at her. Liusu's aura suddenly became weaker. She lowered her voice and whispered:
"Fourth Master, I'm sorry, but...I...I don't think they should be punished. If it weren't for their protection today, Qiluo would probably have been bitten by a snake. Those sisters who just hugged me just now shouldn't let Qiluo get hurt.
He also caught the snake in time. After all, they are Qiluo's saviors. Can we not punish them? The most important thing now is to find the murderer who let the snake bite.
." Liusu said timidly. To oppose or question this man's decision-making requires a lot of courage, even the spirit of not being afraid of death.
Zhu Minglie said nothing——
Still gloomy.
Everyone was quietly waiting for his final verdict——
The fourth master always speaks to the point. This time the mistress risked her life to speak for them. I wonder if it will... change their destiny?
"This...this is what I am requesting on behalf of Qiluo. She must not want the person who saved her to be punished so severely." Liusu quickly added when Zhu Minglie was about to speak.
"Each person will be punished with twenty sticks. If you continue to stay in the palace, please go down." Zhu Minglie said.
Everyone was overjoyed and knelt down one after another——
"Slaves/slaves, thank you Fourth Master for your kindness, and thank your mistress Chrysostom for your mercy."
Liusu breathed a sigh of relief, and the servants were immediately filled with gratitude to Liusu.
"Call everyone in the back courtyard!" In the front hall, the group of people had just retreated, Zhu Minglie said coldly, with a bloodthirsty and violent expression on his face, and suddenly the whole hall seemed to be blown by a sinister wind——
"Yes." Luo Nian obeyed the order and turned around.
All the people in the backyard? Who are they?
Just as Liusu was thinking about it secretly, he saw a group of women, led by Luo Nian, walking in small steps like lotus flowers. Everyone was stunningly beautiful, but everyone had different temperaments, as if in the world of human beings.
The best of all kinds of women can be found in this group of people.
These women are...
"I have come to see you, Your Majesty, and pay my respects to Your Majesty." All the women knelt down and worshiped Zhu Minglie.
Concubine?!
Liusu was stunned...
She suddenly remembered what Xingbai had said about the previous mistress... It turned out that there were so many stunning women in Zhu Minglie's "harem".
