Zhu Xiaogang looked a little miserable, or a little funny. He had a thick bandage on his forehead, his eyes were black and blue, half of his face was swollen, and he needed two guards to help him walk. He stared at him angrily.
Looking at Zhu Yingying: "Aunt Jiu, let me ask you, do you have a guard named Ma Xiaoyao!"
"Huh?" Zhu Yingying was stunned. She had imagined many kinds of opening remarks, but she didn't expect that Zhu Xiaogang would ask Ma Xiaoyao as soon as he came up. She asked doubtfully: "Why are you asking about this?"
"Tell me first, is there such a person in your house?!" Zhu Xiaogang asked angrily.
Zhu Yingying nodded: "Yes, there is a guard named Ma Xiaoyao beside me. Why are you asking about him?" She couldn't hide Ma Xiaoyao's affairs even if she wanted to, so Zhu Yingying admitted it openly.
"Sure enough, there is such a person!" Zhu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and cursed: "Aunt Jiu, please hand over this bastard quickly, I will cut him into pieces!!!"
"Why are you so crazy!" Zhu Yingying's face darkened: "Why did Ma Xiaoyao offend you? You want to deal with him like this!"
Zhu Xiaogang pointed at his face: "Have you seen my miserable look? It was the bastard Ma Xiaoyao who did it!"
"What?" Zhu Yingying stared at the boss: "You mean... Ma Xiaoyao beat you like this? Why did he beat you? What on earth is going on?" When she first met Zhu Xiaogang, Zhu Yingying still said
She was wondering in her heart why Zhu Xiaogang was so miserable. Before she could ask, Zhu Xiaogang said it was Ma Xiaoyao who beat her? This was beyond Zhu Yingying's expectation.
"I went hunting in the royal garden today..." Zhu Xiaogang endured his anger and recounted what happened.
After listening to Zhu Xiaogang's story, Zhu Yingying's expression became strange: "So, you didn't see the person who attacked you clearly at all?"
"I didn't see it clearly..."
"Since you didn't see it clearly, why did you insist that Ma Xiaoyao did it?"
"I asked the guards of the garden, and they said that in the past few days, apart from me, only Ma Xiaoyao has been in and out of the royal garden. If not him, who else could be there?"
"That's wrong." Zhu Yingying snorted coldly: "Even if Ma Xiaoyao has been in and out of the royal garden, you can't just insist that it was him who did it, right?"
"Call Ma Xiaoyao out and I will confront him face to face!"
"Sorry, Ma Xiaoyao is busy right now and has no time to come out to see you."
"How busy can a little guard be? Aunt Ninth, your words are clearly excuses! You are deliberately shielding Ma Xiaoyao!"
Zhu Yingying nodded: "Yes, I'm just protecting him, what can you do?" Zhu Yingying is not a good-tempered person. She was blocked at the door of her house to show her authority. How could she not fight back?
"You..." Zhu Xiaogang's face turned blue with anger: "Aunt Ninth, we are a family. Am I not as good as a little guard in your mind?"
"Zhu Xiaogang, when you led people to block my door, did you ever think that we are a family?" Zhu Yingying snorted coldly: "If people outside see me, I don't know what they will guess."
"Aunt Jiu, as long as you hand over Ma Xiaoyao, I will leave immediately!" Zhu Xiaogang said.
"Impossible!" Zhu Yingying shook her head with a very firm attitude: "I will not hand Ma Xiaoyao over to you."
"Aunt Ninth...you..."
"I'm still saying the same thing. Just because Ma Xiaoyao has been in and out of the royal gardens, you assume that he attacked you. This makes no sense at all!"
"I……"
"After you find conclusive evidence, come to my house to arrest people."
"Aunt Ninth!" Zhu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said while holding back his anger: "I originally wanted to resolve this matter privately, but you insisted on blocking it. In this case, I can only go to Grandpa Huang to seek justice!"
Zhu Yingying sneered: "It's up to you, go wherever you like. If you want to use Father to pressure me, you made the wrong calculation!"
"Okay, just wait, this matter is not over!" After saying these harsh words, Zhu Xiaogang led a group of guards and left. He was so angry. If it were an ordinary person, he would have ordered a forced break-in, but
Facing the Ninth Princess Zhu Yingying... he didn't feel so confident.
"Listen! Anyone who dares to block the gate of the princess mansion again will be beaten severely by me!" Zhu Yingying ordered coldly.
"Yes!" Hundreds of guards responded in unison.
Zhu Yingying turned around and walked towards the backyard. As she walked, she secretly wondered, was it really Ma Xiaoyao who beat him? Does he have such courage? No, you must ask Ma Xiaoyao about this matter!
After a while.
Zhu Yingying came to the kitchen.
"Eh? Why are you here? Are you here to supervise the work?" Ma Xiaoyao said hello to Zhu Yingying while cooking skillfully.
"Stop what you are doing first." Zhu Yingying waved her hand: "I have something to ask you."
"Oh, wait a minute, the vegetables in the pot will be cooked soon." Ma Xiaoyao grabbed the frying spoon with one hand, shook it slightly, put in some seasonings, poured the vegetables in the pot into the plate, and then
Putting down the pot, wiping the oil on his hands, he walked towards Zhu Yingying: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhu Yingying looked directly into Ma Xiaoyao's eyes and asked word for word: "Did you beat Zhu Xiaogang?"
"Zhu Xiaogang?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Who is Zhu Xiaogang? I don't know him?"
"I don't know you." Ma Xiaoyao searched his mind carefully, and finally nodded with certainty: "This is the first time I heard this name."
Zhu Yingying saw that Ma Xiaoyao didn't look like he was lying. She frowned: "You didn't hit him? Who could have hit him?"
"What on earth is going on? Who is Zhu Xiaogang you are talking about?" Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully: "It's so good, why do you want to associate Zhu Xiaogang with me?"
"Zhu Xiaogang is my nephew." Zhu Yingying explained: "His father is my biological eldest brother. Not long ago, Zhu Xiaogang led a group of people to the princess's house aggressively and said that you beat him and asked me to kill him.
Hand it over..." Zhu Yingying briefly told what happened.
"Is it him?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened.
"What? Did you remember anything?" Zhu Yingying asked.
"I..." Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Zhu Yingying, then smiled bitterly: "I did beat up someone in the Royal Garden today..."
"You really beat him?" Zhu Yingying raised her eyebrows: "Why did you beat him?"
"Because he was criticizing you behind your back, and the words he said were unpleasant, so I got angry and taught him a lesson. I didn't expect him to come to you so quickly," Ma Xiaoyao explained.
"He actually criticized me behind my back?" Zhu Yingying was immediately furious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn't have let him go so easily just now."
"I was afraid that you would be angry, so I didn't say anything." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, I caused trouble for you."
"What are you talking about? How can I blame you if you help me vent my anger?"
"That Zhu Xiaogang..."
"Don't worry, as long as I protect you, he won't dare to do anything to you." Zhu Yingying said confidently.
…
The next morning, a eunuch came to the princess's palace to deliver a message, saying that your majesty had something to do and summoned Zhu Yingying, and asked Zhu Yingying to enter the palace quickly.
"Why did His Majesty summon you? It couldn't be because of Zhu Xiaogang's matter, right?" Ma Xiaoyao said with a frown.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." After Zhu Yingying comforted Ma Xiaoyao, she set off for the palace.
Ma Xiaoyao stood at the door, looking at Zhu Yingying's leaving figure, and sighed softly: "It's all my fault that I was too impulsive at the time and got you into trouble."
Royal Palace.
Xuande Hall.
Zhu Tianba sat on the golden dragon chair and looked at Zhu Yingying with piercing eyes: "Last night Xiaogang came to me to complain, saying that your guard beat him and he came to ask for someone. Not only did you not give it, but you were also mean.
It's true, is this true?"
I guessed it right, it was indeed because of Zhu Xiaogang's incident! Zhu Yingying nodded: "That's what happened."
"How do you want to explain this?" Zhu Tianba asked calmly.
"Father, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"
"Of course I listened to the truth."
"To be honest, this kid Zhu Xiaogang deserves to be beaten."
Zhu Tianba frowned: "What do you mean by this? Why did Xiaogang offend you? Do you hate him so much?"
"Huh!" Zhu Yingying snorted softly: "Zhu Xiaogang went hunting in the royal garden yesterday and got a good harvest. I don't know which muscle he set up wrong, so he had to set up a fire in the garden to barbecue... Later, Zhu Xiaogang began to criticize me and said that he would
He wanted me to go to bed and become his woman, and the words he said were as ugly as possible... Coincidentally, the guard Ma Xiaoyao beside me was also in the royal garden, and he heard everything Zhu Xiaogang said, and he was angry for a moment.
I beat Zhu Xiaogang..." Zhu Yingying told what happened in detail.
Zhu Tianba's face darkened: "What are you telling the truth?"
"I can swear that if I tell a lie, there will be thunder and lightning." Zhu Yingying said.
"bump!"
Zhu Tianba slapped the table hard, causing the pen holder and seal to shake: "Damn it! Damn it!!! How dare you criticize your own aunt behind your back? How audacious! Come on!"
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" A guard wearing armor strode in.
"Go, arrest Zhu Xiaogang! Put him in a prison!" Zhu Tianba said angrily.
"As ordered!" The guard turned and left.
It can be seen that Zhu Tianba really trusts Zhu Yingying. Based on Zhu Yingying's words alone, he will send people to arrest Zhu Xiaogang without giving Zhu Xiaogang a chance to defend himself. This kind of holy favor is really not comparable to ordinary people. No wonder the people outside
It is said that the Ninth Princess Zhu Yingying is His Majesty’s favorite daughter.
"Thank you, father, for upholding justice for your son!" Zhu Yingying saluted and thanked her.
