The slave on the side was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately fell to her knees with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please spare your life -"
Xuan Jinmo said indifferently: "Spare my life?! If the child in Mingyue's belly was gone, would you still say spare my life like this? If anything happens to the child in Mingyue's belly, no matter how much life is lost, it is not enough to compensate. Come on.
People, drag me down!"
Mingyue said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it was Mingyue who was not careful. Mingyue was worried about Your Majesty——"
"You have a good rest!" Xuan Jinmo sounded angry, "You have to be more careful next time. You are a mother. You can no longer follow your own temper. I am just going to the palace to serve as the queen.
Happy birthday to the empress, what are you worried about! Someone, ask the housekeeper to find a few more reliable slaves to serve Mingyue, and stay close! If something happens again, there is no need to report it to the king, they will just hit him to death."
A trace of comfort flashed in Mingyue's eyes, and she closed her eyes gently. It was wrong for a slave to lose her life. She would burn a few more pieces of paper for this poor slave. I hope that this slave will find a good family in the next life and no longer serve as a servant.
A slave of man.
"Your Majesty, the happy father-in-law in the palace is here." A confidant walked in and said respectfully.
"Understood, I will go over now and take him to the front hall to drink tea first." Xuan Jinmo frowned slightly. At this time, Eunuch Xi suddenly appeared next to the emperor. Is there something wrong?
The confidant immediately withdrew.
Xuan Jinmo looked at Mingyue lying on the bed, and said in a gentle tone: "If you want to stay in this house safely and comfortably, you must protect the child in your belly. I will send more people to take care of you. Don't worry about it anymore."
Move around easily, stay in the house well, and if you have anything to do, let the servants do it."
Mingyue nodded delicately.
After leaving the room, Xuan Jinmo hesitated for a moment, looked at the front hall, turned and walked towards the back where the slaves were punished, and heard the miserable screams of the slave just now in the distance.
"Wait a minute." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, walked to the slave who was lying on the bench, beaten to pieces with a stick, and said slowly in a voice that others could not hear, "How did Mingyue fall? Butler
I told you to serve me every step of the way, how did you do it?"
The slave's face was filled with tears, and the facial features on her face were tangled together in pain, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
"This slave is unjustly accused, this slave is unjustly accused -" The slave was crying so hard that she couldn't speak clearly.
Xuan Jinmo waved his hand, signaling the people next to him to step back temporarily.
"Unjustly accused?!" Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "You are also a somewhat skilled person, but you can make a pregnant and cautious person fall. How can you be considered unjustly accused?"
The tears on the slave's face mixed with blood and fell to the ground. She struggled painfully and said desperately: "This slave has been taking care of me carefully and has not left. Miss Mingyue told the slave that she wanted to eat some sticky porridge and rice.
The slave girl knew that she hadn't eaten much all day, so she hurried to the kitchen to make preparations. When she came back, Miss Mingyue was lying on the ground alone, saying that she had fallen accidentally. The slave girl immediately invited the doctor from the house to come over and saw that she looked unhappy.
OK, I'll go find you in a hurry."
The slave said this in one breath, biting her lips with her teeth in pain.
"Did anyone go out last night?" Xuan Jinmo looked at the slave indifferently.
The slave's face changed greatly and she looked at Xuan Jinmo. Last night, Mingyue ordered him to drive a carriage to take her to Tianyin Pavilion, and then left in a hurry. She only thought that Mingyue saw the prince last night, scolded him and then turned back in a hurry. Could it be that the prince
have no idea?
Could it be that the fire in Tianyin Pavilion is related to Mingyue?
Mingyue had told her not to mention what happened last night to anyone.
However, when the prince goes out, there must be close relatives with him. They will know about it even if they don't tell the prince. Even when they appear, the prince already knows.
Could it be that the prince thought she and Mingyue were in the same group and did it intentionally?!
"Miss Mingyue asked the servant to drive her to Tianyin Pavilion, saying that she was very worried about the prince -" the servant said, suddenly remembering that everyone in the house and those who knew Xuan Jinmo knew that Xuan Jinmo hated being carried on his back the most in his life.
He acted on his own initiative and deceived him.
If what happened in Tianyin Pavilion last night really had something to do with Mingyue, the prince would definitely not spare the two of them, but Mingyue is pregnant with the prince's child, and the prince would spare some time for the sake of the child in Mingyue's belly, so she would definitely die.
, thinking like this, I suddenly felt a little desperate, and I actually used my last bit of strength to hit a tree in front of me.
It's better to be beaten to death head-on than to be beaten to death with a stick!
Xuan Jinmo watched expressionlessly as the slave bumped into a tree in front of him, then passed out on the ground with weak breath.
"There is still some breath." The slave with the stick stepped forward to test the slave's breath, looked at Xuan Jinmo and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to kill her now?"
Xuan Jinmo said indifferently: "I understand. Let's take him down."
"Yes." The slave with the stick immediately dragged the slave down. This slave was considered to be very lucky. Although the prince didn't say much, the sound of dragging her down already showed that there was no need to end it at this time. "The slave will send her out immediately.
."
Xuan Jinmo turned around and went to the front hall and said to his close associates: "Go and tell the housekeeper to find a few more slaves to serve Mingyue. They must be cautious, speak steadily, follow Mingyue every step of the way, and cannot leave for even a moment."
If something happens again, I will not spare him! Remember to tell him that the newly chosen slave must serve you every step of the way, day and night."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the confidant turned and left.
Entering the front hall, Xuan Jinmo said politely and enthusiastically: "What kind of wind brought Eunuch Xi here? There is something in the house that has delayed us for a while. Eunuch Xi needs to be more considerate."
"Haha, it's hard for an upright official to interrupt household affairs, I understand, I understand." Eunuch Xi said cheerfully, "If the matter hadn't happened so urgently, naturally he wouldn't bother Prince Xuan at this time."
Xuan Jinmo smiled lightly and said: "It's just some jealousy among women, which makes Eunuch Xi laugh. By the way, why does Eunuch Xi come to the house in person?"
Eunuch Xi sighed and said slowly: "The Prince Consort beat Princess Tianxiang."
Xuan Jinmo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and smiled and said: "Why is the Prince Consort so angry? How dare he attack Princess Tianxiang?"
Eunuch Xi sighed and smiled bitterly and said: "Princess Tianxiang beat the concubine Xiao Cui of the Prince Consort. Xiao Cui was also pitiful. The child in her belly could not be saved and she cried to death. The Prince Consort felt sorry for her.
The formed child had a dispute with Princess Tianxiang, and then he beat Princess Tianxiang and shouted that Princess Tianxiang must be divorced. Princess Tianxiang had her consort and Xiaocui tied up and burned them alive."
