Liu Shijun's "affectionate confession" really pissed Feng Jun off. He pointed at Liu Shijun with shaking hands, "You scheming man, what did you say? Believe it or not, I'll kick you to death!"
As if frightened, Liu Shijun hugged Su Man's legs and said, "Your Majesty, save me!"
Su Man looked at Feng Jun, whose face was red and his neck was thick, and then looked at Liu Shijun, who was "weak and easy to bully". She suddenly frowned and said in a low voice, "Feng Jun, you are really going too far!"
Hearing this, Liu Shijun secretly curled up the corners of his lips, while Feng Jun deflated like a punctured ball.
The hand that was originally pointing at Liu Shijun fell down weakly, and a deep sadness surged in his heart.
Your Majesty still doesn't believe him.
However, before he could feel sad for long, Su Man pushed Liu Shijun away and stepped forward to hold his hand. "Didn't I ask Liu Shijun to serve you? Why did you do it yourself? This is too much. Let me see if you are burned."
Feng Jun stared at Su Man blankly, looking bewildered. "Your Majesty?"
Su Man looked over his greasy little paws, and was relieved to see that he was not burned. She continued to lecture him with a stern face, "Look at you, you are a noble prince of a country, but you don't take your body seriously. If you do this again next time, I will never forgive you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Feng Jun's eyes immediately turned into two hearts, and the look he gave Su Man was as if a love special effect had been turned on.
The passionate love here made Liu Shijun, who was still kneeling on the ground, look even more desolate. He didn't understand why Su Man had such a big change in attitude towards Feng Jun and was still trying to find a sense of existence.
"Your Majesty, it was Liu'er who burned her hand. I..."
"Whether you are burned or not, what can I do?"
Su Man looked down from above, her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
Liu Shijun choked. If Su Man said that he did it on purpose, he could still make some sense of it, but Su Man said this, which made it clear that she didn't take him seriously. This made him, who was good at speaking, at a loss.
He thought for a long time before saying aggrievedly, "Yes, Your Majesty is right. Liu'er is of low status, not as good as Feng Jun, the son of a female prime minister. Liu'er is just a lowly palace servant, destined to be despised wherever she goes."
His words sounded discouraging, and not only Su Man, but even the palace servants around him felt a little sad.
However, Su Man interrupted him mercilessly, "It is important for people to respect themselves. Even palace servants have been praised for their loyalty and conduct, and even royal family members have been infamous for their rottenness. Your fault is not your background, but your evil intentions."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shijun was completely panicked, "Your Majesty, Liu'er didn't do that. Liu'er just..."
"Your first mistake is that you, as a palace servant, exploited your master's trust in you to pave the way for yourself. Your second mistake is that you received glory and prosperity, but instead of feeling grateful, you schemed and stepped on your master to rise to power. Your third mistake is that you have evil intentions and dared to slander Lord Feng in front of me!"
After hearing this, Liu Shijun looked as pale as death.
Su Man continued, "You are a palace servant with bad conduct, and a servant of the emperor with bad intentions. Such a person must not stay by my side. Come, demote Liu Shijun to a commoner and return him to his family."
"His Majesty!"
Liu Shijun was completely panicked. He grabbed Su Man's clothes and begged, "Your Majesty, Liu'er, oh no, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please, don't send me away, please!"
Seeing that Su Man had no hope, Liu Shijun turned to Feng Jun again. He kowtowed to the ground four or five times. When he looked up again, there was a conspicuous bloodstain on his forehead, but he didn't care.
"Lord Feng, please, for the sake of our relationship as master and servant, please save me. I don't want to leave the palace. I don't want to be a servant of the emperor, nor a male favorite. I just want to be a palace servant..."
At this point, Liu Shijun's voice became choked with sobs. "My parents both starved to death while fleeing the famine. I only have a gambling aunt at home. If I go back, she will sell me to a brothel. Please, please save me."
“…”
Seeing him crying and snotting, Feng Jun also felt pity for him.
"Your Majesty, why not keep him in the palace as a palace servant or send him somewhere else so he can't be seen?"
Su Man frowned, feeling something was wrong, but she couldn't resist Feng Jun's pleading, so she had to have him taken away.
-
That night, when Su Man returned to the Qinzheng Palace, she casually asked where Liu Shijun had gone.
Nong Shuang helped her take off the crown and said hesitantly, "I originally wanted to arrange for him to work in the laundry department, but Di Shijun asked him to go there."
"Servant Di?"
Su Man raised an eyebrow, "Why do you want him?"
"It was Di Shijun who said that after Xiao Lu was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, he didn't have anyone else to trust around him, so he asked Liu Shijun to go with him."
"I understand. You can go down now."
"yes."
When Nong Shuang left, she first lowered the bed curtains, added a spoonful of spices into the incense burner, and then left.
Su Man lay on her back on the bed, thinking about Di Zixiao's desire for Liu Shijun, and had some vague guesses in her mind.
Ever since Di Zixiao fell out of favor, the people around him have become less obedient. Liu Shijun had just fallen out of favor, and it was the time when he needed someone to cling to. So he asked Liu Shijun to come over, which was like having an extra arm.
However, Di Zixiao has fallen out of favor and dare not cause trouble in the short term. The affairs of the previous dynasty are more worrying.
Fortunately, she had already made Ren Yu a noble lord before Ren Hailan got into trouble. So even though Ren Xuelan's affair had become a hot topic, Yu Guijun never came to plead for his sister.
Not only him, but even the Ren family didn't make any movement.
This is also the reason why Su Man wanted to confer the title of Duke of Ren. If it were before, Ren Yu would be neither up nor down in the palace, and the Ren family would naturally have nothing to worry about and would definitely do their best to rescue Ren Hailan.
