"You are such a good Princess Hui! You are a country girl of unknown origin. Do you think you are wronged by marrying my prince? If you mention divorce again, I will execute you immediately! Back off!"
Outside the hall, Lu Zhenzhi jumped off his horse, and Xiao Pu followed him. The two of them walked up the blue-white marble steps one after the other. Two soldiers followed behind them, one of whom was carrying a nanny from Prince Hui's mansion and dragging her up the steps.
At this moment, Lu Zhenzhi was like the King of Hell. He would kill gods and ghosts if he saw them. Anyone who stood in his way would die!
The emperor in the hall was about to continue to lose his temper when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the hall that made him both dependent and afraid.
"Royal brother, why are you so hot-tempered towards a girl?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Tong'er, who was originally frightened and lying on the ground with half of her face covered, immediately turned her head away.
The person who came was tall and slender, with his fur coat and cloak fluttering unrestrainedly.
Mature, cold, majestic, and imposing.
The emperor inadvertently took half a step back.
Fu Tong'er was sure that this man was the one who saved her last night!
I wondered if he had read the thank-you letter I sent this morning... This gentleman also arrested the two maids who bullied her!
Jiu Ye went to arrest someone early in the morning!
He only mentioned it last night, and today he ordered someone to capture him. How decisive. But didn't he make a condition?
As I thought and thought, the hands covering my face slowly dropped down.
At this moment, Lu Zhenzhi glanced at her and saw the glaring slap mark on her face, and his body paused.
This girl was beaten...
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lu Zhenzhi stood with his fists clasped.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xiao Pu stood behind Lu Zhenzhi, bowed his head and clasped his fists.
"No need to be polite. Stand up. Ninth brother, what brings you to the palace today? Didn't I allow you to rest after your return?"
Lu Zhenzhi said, "I am deeply grateful for your grace, Your Majesty." Then he said to Fu Tong'er, "Are these two old guys?"
Fu Tong'er's eyes immediately turned red, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, "They often sent rotten food to my yard and forced me to drink slop."
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi felt a little heartbroken. The girl was crying so hard that it was unbearable.
"Nephew, is this how you discipline the servants in your mansion?" Lu Zhenzhi's slightly raised tone was filled with simmering anger.
"This, I don't know."
"According to the laws of Dayan, Your Majesty, how should those who commit crimes against their superiors be dealt with?" Lu Zhenzhi asked again with a fist and bowed his head.
"If it's serious, the person should be executed." The emperor said slowly.
"Then punish me severely!" Lu Zhenzhi's tone wasn't angry, but it seemed to capture the essence of the atmosphere. The air instantly became tense!
Chopping off someone's head so early in the morning?
When the two maids heard this, they were so scared that they knelt down.
Nanny Li, who was in charge of the meals at Prince Hui's mansion, cried out, "Your Majesty, please spare me! Master Jiu, please spare me! I will never dare to do this to the princess again, Master Jiu! Your Majesty!"
Zhao Ma also knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Jiu Ye, Jiu Ye, these are the instructions of the master's concubine Hong Er, our master. We are just servants, Jiu Ye, please spare my life!"
Fu Tong'er asked: "Where is she?"
Zhao Ma said: "She left after Your Highness and you left, and I don't know where she went. Princess, I beg you to speak to Master Jiu. I really know I was wrong!"
Fu Tong'er was still kneeling on the ground, but her thoughts drifted back to last night. She remembered what the Ninth Master had said: "This king only helps his own woman."
Her face flushed instantly, but she still looked up tentatively at the Regent, then extended her hand—
Lu Zhenzhi was stunned at first. This girl actually reached out to him... and immediately took her slender hand! The moment they touched, his palm held her tightly. Within a second or two, he even calmly stroked the back of Fu Tong'er's delicate hand with his calloused thumb twice, and then instantly lifted her up!
Seeing how close the two were, King Hui couldn't help but guess that it was the Ninth Prince who took her in last night. Didn't this girl not allow anyone to touch her? Why did she take the initiative to extend her hand and let the Ninth Prince pull her up?
That would be fine, but what does the Ninth Prince’s reluctant look and reluctance to let go mean?
After Fu Tong'er stood up, Lu Zhenzhi lowered his head to the top of Fu Tong'er's black hair and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget my conditions."
Fu Tong'er was frightened and immediately raised her head, her face flushed...
Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a barely perceptible arc. Then he let her go, slightly bent his tall body, and whispered in her ear: "Girl, tell me what you want to do with these two things."
Fu Tong'er turned around and raised her head, blushing as she replied, "Can I do whatever I want now?"
Lu Zhenzhi said: "I am here, you can do whatever you want."
Fu Tong'er showed a long-lost smile, and then took out a small whip from her body. This was a gift from her brother.
"Madame Zhao, Madame Li." Fu Tong'er walked up to the two of them and said, "You two actually made me drink sewage and eat rotten rice. You yelled at me and were so rude. Today I'll show you who is the master!" As she spoke, she swung the whip, and the whole hall was filled with the whistling sound of the whip.
After dozens of lashes, the two cried uncontrollably. Li Ma Ma hugged Fu Tong'er's feet and said, "Princess, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please be kind and let His Majesty forgive me."
King Hui came over and slapped the two slaves twice, knocking them to the ground, unable to get up. He angrily shouted, "You two bastards, you are so bold!"
"Your Highness, you don't like the princess. Everyone in the palace knows it. Master Hong said that the princess was just a deposed concubine. She asked the servants to give the princess spoiled food and tattered clothes, and to withhold her money. All of this was Master Hong's instruction."
