Seeing that Nala recognized her, Xiao Ningzi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiao Ningzi, please say hello to the master. May the master be blessed."
Nala didn't call out, and just said: "Why don't I remember when I moved you to the inner hall to serve you?"
Xiao Ningzi straightened up slightly, lowered his head and said: "Replying to the master, the servant did not change to serve in the inner hall. The little noble son who was serving in the inner hall suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, so the servant came to the hall to serve on his behalf for a while. If it disturbed the master,
Please forgive me, Master."
Nala glanced at him and asked with a half-smile, "How is it? The thirty sticks are healed. Doesn't it hurt anymore?"
Xiao Ningzi's body trembled, and she kowtowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Master, for remembering me. I'm fine now."
"Don't you blame me for blaming you?" After being beaten by himself, and still answering correctly in such a leisurely manner, Nala became somewhat interested in this little eunuch who didn't take him seriously at all.
"It is the slave's blessing that the master is willing to teach him a lesson. What's more, the slave did something wrong that day, so how dare he feel resentful." Xiao Ningzi said hurriedly, with a sincere tone.
"Raise your head." Following Nala's words, Xiao Ningzi slowly raised her head. There was no trace of lying except for a little surprise on her delicate and fair face.
Just when Xiao Ningzi thought that Nala would let her stay in the inner hall to serve him from now on, all she heard was, "Go down."
Xiao Ningzi was disappointed, but this time he didn't say or do anything as smart as before. The last spanking had already allowed him to guess some of Nala's thoughts. This master didn't like to talk too much.
The slave didn't like the slave to question and speculate on her words; therefore, Xiao Ningzi just agreed and left the hall.
His move made Nala smile slightly. It seemed that the punishment last time was not in vain. He had made a lot of progress, but he was not qualified to enter the inner palace yet.
"Master intends to promote Xiao Ningzi?" After Xiao Ningzi left, Sanfu's eyes flashed and he asked cautiously.
Nara waved his hand to the palace people to take the dishes off the table, "Why, you are not happy?"
Sanfu said fearfully: "I don't dare. I just think that Xiao Ningzi is very scheming and snobbish, and I'm afraid that my master will be deceived by him."
"Deceive me?" Nala sneered, held Sanfu's hand and stood up, saying: "He is not qualified enough to let him alone. By the way, have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"Master, don't worry. This slave has bribed the people in Second Elder Brother's house through others. He will plant a large amount of safflower when making medicine. When the time comes, not only will the child be saved, but Jiafujin will also die due to heavy bleeding caused by excessive safflower."
Death." Sanfu said confidently.
Nala glanced at him with some surprise, "Oh, I have made great progress. I didn't bribe the imperial doctor. Instead, I started as a humble servant."
Sanfu lowered his head and smiled and said: "Master is ridiculous. I just think that the imperial doctor is difficult to bribe, and it will be troublesome to eradicate the roots in the future. It is far less convenient than disappearing a person without any background or official position."
"Well, remember, only dead people don't speak. You must not leave any flaws in the things I tell you to do. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be."
"I know." Sanfu replied in awe, his head hanging lower and lower.
After serving Nala and resting, he and Jade exited the hall together. In the endless cold wind, Sanfu sighed deeply.
"What are you sighing for?" Jade looked back at him, an angry lamp in his hand illuminating each other.
Sanfu opened his hands. Although he was a slave, he rarely did rough work, so his hands were as white and delicate as a woman's. "I just suddenly remembered that the blood stained on our hands, I don't know if it can be washed away."
One day.”
Jade remained silent for a long time, stroking the loose hair beside her ears and said: "It doesn't matter if you can clean it up, it doesn't matter if you can't clean it up. We are just slaves who obey orders and we can't help ourselves at all."
Sanfu smiled bitterly, feeling unspeakable sorrow in his heart. Once upon a time, he had not even trampled an ant to death, but later he was ordered to kill people one after another, innocent and unjust, all of which were not done by tigers.
They just mechanically and numbly use various means to get rid of those who the master thinks deserve to die.
Jade looked at the hem of her skirt that was wetted by the splashing rain after just standing for a while, "It's better not to think too clearly about some things, otherwise it will only make yourself miserable."
"Having said that, I still can't help but think of it." After another sigh, Sanfu turned around and said solemnly: "Did you hear what the master just said? Once what we did is found out, there will be some clues.
, the master will never protect us, on the contrary, she will push us out as abandoned children. There are so many masters, sometimes, I even doubt whether they are the same person."
"I know." Jade said quietly, "But she is still our master, and we have no second choice."
Sanfu closed his eyes and sighed with infinite yearning: "Sometimes when I think about it, I really hope I can escape from the current situation."
"Just think about this kind of thing, don't take it seriously, otherwise we will die worse than Dual Yuan." Jade turned his head, his eyes were helpless under the light of the wind lantern.
Sanfu understood what she meant. They had mastered too many secrets of the Nala clan. Once they wanted to escape, Nala's character and conduct would never let them go, even if they only showed a little bit of their thoughts.
So even if there is a lot of blood ahead, we can only continue walking, not for anything else but to save our lives.
"I understand." Sanfu smiled solemnly, clasped his hands and said, "I just hope that after death, King Yama will show mercy and not punish me to the eighteenth level of hell."
Jade looked at him, and suddenly a gentle smile appeared, "No matter where you go, at least you will have me as your companion, so you won't be lonely."
"I don't want it anymore." Sanfu's answer was surprising. In Jade's surprised look, he glanced at the sky with no stars and moon, only endless cold rain and said: "It's enough for me to suffer alone, why should I add you more?"
One. Remember, if you are reincarnated into a good family in your next life, you must never be a servant again."
Jade looked at him movedly, fortunately, fortunately, there was still someone in this deep palace who cared about her silently, so she didn't lose any warmth. She said amidst the sound of rain: "Who knows what happens after death, maybe there is no hell at all.
There is no next life."
The night passed slowly, and when it dawned the next day, the clouds had settled and the rain had stopped, and the air was full of rich water vapor, proving that the rain last night was true.
Compared with the turmoil of the previous dynasty, the harem was much quieter. However, when Ling Ruo went to Cining Palace to greet her early in the morning, she unexpectedly learned that Wu Ya was unwell and could not accept the greetings of the concubines.
