"Let's talk about it later?" An unexpected voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them, startling them. This voice... Why does it sound so like the master, but... But didn't the master stop? Why?
Will appear here? No, they must have heard wrongly, yes, they must have heard wrongly!
The two of them turned around with difficulty, and when they could clearly see the figure standing behind them through the moonlight, they were immediately frightened out of their wits, because that person was definitely Concubine Yu. They hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, and then Dongmei said cautiously: "
Master, didn't you take a break? Why did you come out again?"
Concubine Yu glanced at them coldly and said: "When did you become my master and come to ask me questions?" Seeing Dongmei lowering her head in panic, she said again: "Answer me, what's the matter?
Do you want to talk slowly?"
After she lay down, she felt a little tight in her chest, so she got up and opened the window. She happened to see Xiao Quanzi dragging Dongmei away secretly. She felt strange, so she followed behind quietly.
"Slave...Slave..." Dongmei clasped her hands in panic, not knowing how to answer. Concubine Yu must not let Concubine Yu know about Baofu, otherwise Concubine Yu would not only accuse the two of them, but also kill them with her temperament.
Receive precious blessings to avoid future troubles.
Xiao Quanzi rolled his eyes quickly and said with a smile: "Replying to the master, Dongmei's father was infected with the disease and did not recover after a long period of treatment. Dongmei was very worried, so the servant advised her to relax and slowly...will...
Get better."
Concubine Yu curled her lips slightly, stared at Dongmei and said, "Is this really the case?"
Dongmei nodded repeatedly and said, "It's true. My father is ill and can't afford it. Xiao Quanzi is comforting me."
Concubine Yu glanced at his face and said, "You have never left the palace in these years. How did you know that your father was sick?"
"Reply to the master..." Xiao Quanzi had just said a few words when Concubine Yu said with a fierce expression: "Shut up, I didn't ask you." After that, she reached out and slowly caressed Dongmei's face.
, said coolly: "Tell me, how did you know?"
The sharp nails scratched the skin from time to time. Although it didn't hurt, it made Dongmei feel shuddering. She suppressed the horror and said in a trembling voice: "Master, this is... my family wrote to tell this slave."
Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "Really? Why have I never heard of you talking about it?"
Dongmei forced out a smile and said: "There have been enough things going on in the palace recently, how dare I bother my master with my own family affairs."
Concubine Yu smiled slightly and said: "I didn't expect you to think so much about me. I am really touched. There are still a few hundred-year-old ginseng plants in the warehouse. You can take them to replenish your father's health tomorrow."
Hearing this, Dongmei breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to thank her, Concubine Yu said again: "Where is that letter? Bring it to me and show it to me."
Dongmei's face froze and she said unnaturally: "I originally kept that letter by my side, but it suddenly disappeared yesterday. I think I lost it accidentally."
"That's really unlucky." Following these words, the fingers that had been wandering around Dongmei's face suddenly tightened, and her nails made red marks on her face. "Do you want me to send someone to your home tomorrow?"
, let’s see if your father is ill or recovering?!” Without waiting for Dongmei to speak, she said again: “You two are really capable. You lied in front of me. Are you stupid or crazy?!”
Hearing this, Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi trembled with fear, and quickly knelt down and said: "I don't dare, master, please tell me clearly!"
Concubine Yu said coldly: "If you want me to spare you, tell me honestly who Baofu is, who is Zhang, and why do you want to give them money?!"
Xiao Quanzi and Dongmei always thought that Concubine Yu only heard the last sentence, but only then did they realize that she had even heard about Baofu. They were even more panicked and didn't know what to do.
Concubine Yu waited for a while but didn't see any of them speaking. She said in a cold voice, "Aren't you going to say yes? Well, I'll see how tough your mouth is!" After that, she raised her voice and said, "Come here! Come here!"
This place is quite remote. Concubine Yu called out several times before someone hurried over. Concubine Yu pointed at Xiao Quanzi and the two who were kneeling down and said in a cold voice: "Drag these two people down and punish them twenty times!"
Hearing this, the palace people were a little dumbfounded. Who didn't know that Dongmei and Xiao Quanzi were the most powerful people around Concubine Yu, but now Concubine Yu said that she wanted to blame the twenty big boards. This... this is really unbelievable.
Seeing that the palace man was standing still, Concubine Yu scolded her again: "What are you doing standing still? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Seeing that Concubine Yu didn't seem to be joking, the palace servants quickly agreed and walked up to Dongmei and Dongmei with their heads lowered. Before they could say anything, Dongmei begged, "Master, I didn't mean to deceive you. Please have mercy!"
Concubine Yu said expressionlessly: "If you want me to be merciful, tell me honestly who Baofu is?!"
Dongmei pursed her lips helplessly, and Xiao Quanzi did the same. Their behavior undoubtedly made Concubine Yu even more angry. She allowed them to be dragged down by the palace officials and punished heavily. As for herself, she returned to the main hall and waited until Dongmei and the two of them were beaten.
After twenty sticks were half dragged and half pulled in, he said in a cold voice: "How about it, are you willing to tell me?"
Xiao Quanzi reluctantly said: "Baofu is just a child that I met when I was out of the palace. I feel that I have a affinity with him, so I sometimes give him some money. I don't mean to hide it, but I am afraid that my master will misunderstand!"
"
"I also hope that this is a misunderstanding, but it's a pity..." Concubine Yu obviously didn't believe what he said. Just when Xiao Quanzi thought she would order the punishment again, Concubine Yu said: "Okay, you go back and rest.
Early tomorrow morning, I will send
I will go to your home to have a good visit on your parents; in addition, I will ask Amaran to go over and have a look when he has free time, in case there are blind thieves or robbers who are injured.
That would be bad for your family."
These words frightened Dongmei more than the punishment with the stick, and she panicked: "No, Master, I don't want it! Please have mercy, Master!"
Concubine Yu leaned over and said in her ear: "Dongmei, it's not me who wants to be merciful, but you. As long as you are willing to say that I will keep your family safe, even you can avoid being held accountable." She said.
I hate being concealed by others, let alone the people around me, so no matter what method I use, I have to force out the things Dongmei and I have concealed.
"Slave...Slave..." Dongmei didn't know what to do. She had Baofu on one side and her family on the other. She...how should she choose.
When Dongmei was hesitant, Concubine Yu turned her eyes and said, "Xiao Quanzi, think about it carefully. Do you really want to see the family who gave birth to you and raised you die?"
