Chapter 183 Extra: Pei Yu (2)
Yue Miao could see that the little prince was in a bad mood at the moment.
But Xiao Yuanzi was so frightened that he was shaking all over and couldn't even beg for mercy. If he was left alone, he would really die under the board.
So Yue Miao gritted her teeth and kowtowed: "Yes, Your Highness, please forgive Xiao Yuanzi."
Pei Yu stared at her for a long time before he sneered grimly.
"A slave is a slave."
It was the first time that he said such insulting words to Yue Miao. Yue Miao's heart tightened, not because she was insulted, because a slave's face was worthless in this palace, but because she had angered the young prince and she would definitely be in trouble.
"Since you pleaded for him, you should be punished for him. Take him away and beat him!"
Pei Yu shouted, and the palace servant who was about to lift Xiao Yuanzi paused, and then turned around to lift Yue Miao.
Yue Miao was suddenly struck by lightning.
She would beg for mercy, struggling and screaming: "Your Highness! Your Highness, please forgive me this time! If it really doesn't work, Your Highness, tell me how many strokes I will get. There has to be a number!"
Pei Yu clenched his fists, his anger growing.
When the palace maid saw that His Highness had no intention of forgiving, they dragged Yue Miao out.
After a while, the sound of boards falling and Yue Miao's ghostly howling were heard outside the window.
She was just a servant, so he could beat her. Who made her the first to anger him without knowing her own limitations?
Pei Yu convinced himself not to care about it, but he still felt a little nervous.
He seemed to have forgotten to tell the palace servants how much to hit.
Do we really want to beat that idiot to death?
Pei Yu heard her screaming miserably and with a lot of energy left in her, it looked like she wouldn't die for a while.
But you can't keep fighting.
But he had already given the order. If he went back on his word, would Yue Miao misunderstand that he cared about her and become even more arrogant and spoiled?
Before he could come up with any conclusion, a eunuch suddenly came running in from outside, reporting in a hurry: "It's bad, it's bad! The imperial concubine is suddenly seriously ill, and the imperial doctors are helpless!"
Pei Yu suddenly loosened his clenched hands and strode out of the palace gate. When he passed Yue Miao, he stopped and shouted angrily: "No need to beat her, send her back to do rough labor!"
After he finished speaking, he no longer cared about Yue Miao and hurried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
*
My mother is very ill this time.
My father has stopped attending court for three days and has been staying by my side.
Pei Yu asked for an audience outside the Qianqing Palace, but as expected, he was rejected by his father.
Pei Yu's eyes were gloomy. Was his mother his father's and his father's? He was her own flesh and blood, so why couldn't he even see her once?
He knelt outside the Qianqing Palace and would not leave until his father prevented him from seeing his mother.
My father actually asked Eunuch Cheng to expel him.
There was a hint of hatred in Pei Yu's eyes. He insisted on kneeling there and refused to leave.
After kneeling for three days, my father finally came out.
The current emperor, the supreme ruler, his father, looked at him as if he were an ant with disgust and insignificance.
"Go back to Wenhua Palace. Your mother doesn't want to see you."
Pei Yu heard his father's cold words, but instead of leaving, he knelt down and said word by word: "Even if mother doesn't want to see me, I want to hear what you say in person."
"You don't deserve it."
The emperor seemed unwilling to say another word to him. He turned to Eunuch Cheng and ordered: "Since you won't leave, beat him with twenty boards. If you still don't leave, continue beating him. I won't pursue the matter even if you kill me."
No one pleaded for Pei Yu.
His mother was on her sickbed, and the palace maids around her knew that the emperor was unhappy, so they would not risk angering him by saying a word for this prince who was not favored by the emperor.
Pei Yu was pressed to the ground and executed. He was only ten years old, so the eunuch showed mercy and did not use all his strength.
It turns out that it doesn't hurt that much.
Pei Yu bit his lip patiently, enduring the pain behind him, and for some reason he felt a little relieved.
When the palace maid was beaten before, she cried and wailed, and he thought the pain would be so unbearable.
It seems that she has been serving him for so long that she has become spoiled.
The twenty strokes of the cane were soon finished. Cheng Shouzhong stepped forward to support him and urged him kindly, "Your Highness, please go back quickly. His Majesty is worried about the Empress right now. Please don't make things worse."
Pei Yu pushed him away, endured the pain in his back, and knelt down again.
Cheng Shouzhong: ...
Well, that was too light.
He sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you don't leave, I will have no choice but to follow your Majesty's order and have them execute him again."
Pei Yu's eyes were deep and he stared intently at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.
Cheng Shouzhong had no choice but to order the palace servants to beat him again.
The palace servants got the hint and used only 50% of their strength this time.
Pei Yu immediately felt something was wrong.
He had been able to hold back his anger before, but this time he couldn't even cry out in pain. Every time the board fell he almost lost his voice. Beads of sweat instantly rolled down his forehead, and Pei Yu's five fingers were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
This time he didn't dare to beat him with twenty boards, but only ten. Cheng Shouzhong waved his hand to signal the eunuch to stop.
He has followed His Majesty for so many years, and he doesn't really think that His Majesty wants to kill the Queen's only son.
He walked forward and asked helplessly: "Your Highness, are you not leaving yet?"
Pei Yu took a moment to speak. He looked towards the Wenhua Palace as if he wanted to say something, but he turned his head back and stared at Cheng Shouzhong gloomily, saying word by word: "I won't leave. I want to see my mother."
Cheng Shouzhong sighed and tried to persuade the emperor a few more times without any effect. He could only order the palace servants to forcibly take the little prince away.
Pei Yu was seriously injured.
After returning to the palace, Liu Gui hurriedly tried to apply medicine to him, but was scolded by him.
"Call Yue Miao over!"
Liu Gui was stunned: "Didn't Yue Miao offend His Highness and be demoted to menial jobs by His Highness?"
Pei Yu grabbed the medicine bottle at hand and threw it at him, scolding: "I asked her to come back now!!"
Liu Gui did not dare to hide. After being hit, he kept responding and quickly went out to call for help.
After an unknown amount of time, when Pei Yu had lost his patience and was about to get angry again, a familiar figure limped in.
Yue Miao held her waist, obviously in great pain with every step she took, her facial features were all wrinkled.
Pei Yu actually felt a little guilty for a moment.
He soon came to his senses.
What is there to feel guilty about?
Even though he was furious that day, he did not take his anger out on her when he came back. It was she who insisted on pleading for others without thinking of the consequences.
She is always too kind, so she deserves to be beaten!
Pei Yu frowned awkwardly and called her, "Yue Miao, come and apply medicine to me."
Yue Miao felt that she had committed a huge sin.
When she entered the palace, she thought that the emperor was kind and the ladies in the palace must be gentle as well. Except that one could not leave the palace until the age of 25, which was a little late, overall it was better than being a slave outside.
Only after entering the palace did I realize it was all bullshit!
The maids were more powerful than each other. She had no money, could not say nice things to please her master, and had some country habits that she could not change for a while, so she could only do the lowest and roughest work.
Just do it. She has done it a lot at home anyway. Who would have thought that God would be merciful and let the young prince take a fancy to her.
To be honest, Yue Miao was quite happy, because although the young prince had a bad temper, he was generous. The reward he had given before was a heavy ingot of gold!
Now that she had secured a house in the capital, she became even more determined to serve the little prince well, save up a lot of money before leaving the palace, and live a rich life with her mother in the future.
But if you have the life to save, you also have to have the life to spend.
The little princess is so cruel now. What if she gets more crooked when she grows up and kills her when she is not happy?
Yue Miao has no choice now and can only work hard and hope to find a chance to change her master in the future.
