Chapter 342 Come and Serve His Highness
Doesn’t she know that if she offends the powerful, they will have a hard time?
"Are you really not going?"
"No." Gu Liyue said affirmatively.
The eldest princess looked at her stubborn appearance and thought to herself: It seems that she doesn't understand the hardships of life!
"What if your husband doesn't want you anymore? Will you still see the noble man?"
Gu Liyue glanced at her and said, "I won't see him either. If my husband doesn't want me, I won't believe him unless he tells me so himself."
The princess watched her maintain a level head throughout the entire process and felt a certain admiration for her. It was as if everything was under her control. If she found herself unable to control the situation, she wondered if she would still be so calm and composed.
She was looking forward to seeing her expression when she found out that she couldn't control everything.
"You don't want to see the nobleman. Do you know that the consequences of offending me will be terrible?" The eldest princess's face changed. She didn't have much patience to begin with. She originally thought that she could convince her with just a few words. After all, the benefits were there.
Gu Liyue continued calmly, "I didn't mean to offend Your Highness. It was Your Highness who brought us here for no apparent reason. You didn't even ask for our opinion at the time and just let the guards take us away."
At this time, the maid Xiao Tao standing beside the throne scolded, "You bold pariah, how dare you offend Her Royal Highness the Princess? Take her away and give her twenty lashes of the cane."
Gu Liyue was startled. Two guards came from behind her. They grabbed her arms with their iron-like hands and dragged her out.
She tried to resist, twisting her body, staggering her steps, and with a punch, she knocked the two guards to the ground.
She had long wanted to test the skills of these guards and also wanted to see if they had practiced.
It turns out that their skills are average and they haven't practiced much.
It was just that she hadn't fought without relying on spiritual power for a long time since she came to the world of immortal cultivation. She felt a little strange and a little familiar, and a hint of excitement surged in her heart.
Her hands were just a little sore from the beating, so she shook them off.
Just when Gu Liyue thought that these guards were just average in skills, two men in black tights suddenly appeared. They grabbed Gu Liyue's arms tightly and twisted them behind her back.
Gu Liyue couldn't break free no matter what she did.
It seems that I am still no match for these elusive guards. These should be the royal secret guards.
I don’t know what’s going on with Nie Hengzhou. I wonder if he didn’t get any benefits like me.
Gu Liyue raised her head and looked at the eldest princess sitting on the throne, only to see her looking lazily at the round fan in her hand.
Seeing that the secret guards were holding Gu Liyue and making no move, Xiao Tao shouted, "Take him away and give him twenty lashes of the cane."
The secret guards rarely appeared in public, and usually they didn't have to take part in matters within the palace, as the ordinary guards were enough to handle them.
Seeing this scene today, the secret guards were actually a little bit unbelievable. The seemingly weak woman could actually knock down two guards at once.
So when they appeared, they did not dare to let their guard down and used all their strength to capture her.
If they needed to take action, they would usually arrest the person and torture him directly in jail. It was definitely not enough to just give him twenty lashes of the board, so they had no choice but to drag Gu Liyue out of the hall.
Seeing that she was about to be dragged out of the palace, the eldest princess said lazily, "Wait a minute, don't hurt her, I want to present her to the noble! I will lock her up in the torture chamber and ask Nanny Wang to come and discipline her."
She wanted to send Gu Yue to her royal brother as soon as possible. It would be too ugly to beat her until she was covered in blood. But looking at her stubborn look, she knew that she would not surrender obediently, so she let Wang Ma try.
By the way, keep Nanny Wang busy so that she won't bother with her own business. Kill two birds with one stone, perfect.
Watching Gu Liyue being dragged away, she instructed Xiaotao, "Bring that man here. Oh no, bring him to my bedroom."
Xiao Tao's eyes flickered as she recalled a previous maid in her position who was beaten to death in front of them by Nanny Wang because she helped the eldest princess bring a man into the villa. The wailing at that time was incessant and the tragic scene was still vivid in her mind.
She knew that although Nanny Wang was also a slave, she could punish the maids. When the master did something wrong, it was always the maids who were punished for not fulfilling their responsibility to give advice, but the master could not persuade them at all.
She cried out in a plaintive voice, "Madame Wang will beat me to death."
The eldest princess said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, she's busy right now. I won't let her know."
Xiao Tao was still trembling with fear. Thinking of the torture methods that Nanny Wang used, she really didn't dare.
The eldest princess looked at Xiao Tao sinisterly and said, "Who is your master?"
Xiao Tao immediately knelt down, her expression as if ready to die, and said, "Your Highness is my master. I will obey your orders even if it means death."
As she said this, she went to tell people to do things.
Seeing that she was obedient, the eldest princess watched her finish her instructions and return to her side. She stretched out a hand, and Xiao Tao held her hand and helped her up.
The eldest princess said joyfully, "Return to the bedroom."
Xiao Tao shuddered as if she had heard the command of death, and then she gritted her teeth and helped the eldest princess to the bedroom.
The entire bedroom is very spacious, with several layers of gauze hanging as curtains. The left side hall of the bedroom is a spacious bathroom, half of which is a huge bathtub.
The bathing pool contains natural hot spring water. The reason why the villa was built in this place was because there was a hot spring here.
Spring water flows into the bathtub from the faucet on the wall. Mist lingers above the pool. The temperature of this hot spring is not very high compared to the temperature on hot days.
After soaking, people can relax their body and mind and relieve fatigue, so even in summer, the eldest princess likes to soak here for a while.
While she ordered the maid to bring Nie Hengzhou in, she undressed with the help of the maid and slowly walked into the bath.
There is a room outside the bathing pool, and there is a low couch where you can rest after soaking in the hot spring.
At this moment, Nie Hengzhou was led to the low couch. The servants all went down and locked the door of the side hall.
He could only hear the sound of running water from across the room, and occasionally the sound of someone stirring the water.
He couldn't help but wonder: Who was bathing in there? He was brought here by the eldest princess's people, so it couldn't be Gu Liyue. If it was her, she would always speak out.
Then it must be the eldest princess. His face darkened and he tried his best to ignore the sound of water.
After a quarter of an hour, the eldest princess got up from the bath. She didn't call anyone to serve her. She wrung out some water from her wet long hair, casually put on a gauze, and slowly walked out. Miaoman's figure was looming in the gauze.
She was very confident in her body. She slowly walked to Nie Hengzhou and sat down on the low couch.
Nie Hengzhou caught a glimpse of the eldest princess's attire from the corner of his eye and quickly lowered his head, frowning slightly, with disgust flashing across his eyes.
Seeing that he wasn't looking at her directly, the princess leaned back on the low couch, her red lips half pouting as she said in a delicate voice, "Raise your head and come and serve His Highness."
