Chapter 24

The two of them stood on tiptoe, clawed at a branch thick with two fingers, and stretched their heads to look at a bird's nest. The bird in the nest had just broken its shell, and its eyes hadn't opened yet. high.

"What kind of bird is this?" Lotus asked.

"The slaves have seen it before. In my hometown, this kind of bird is called Qingsi. When it grows up, the feathers are cyan and slender."

"Qing Si? The name is nice, is it delicious?"

"Ah, the slaves don't know either. I haven't eaten it before. This kind of bird is not big and has very little meat."

"Is that so~" I was really sorry.

"Little Master, do you want to take it back and raise it?" Xiaoqing asked.

"No, Xiaoqing, you're wrong. The little birds live on the trees and stay with mother birds every day. How can we let them separate from mother and child? It's too cruel." Lianhua shook her head and put down the branches. ready to go.

"Oh..." That's not what the little master said about the nest of eggs he picked up last time. Didn't he say that he was helping the mother bird to reduce the burden? Xiaoqing scratched his head.

At this moment, there was a loud noise on the path leading to the cold palace not far away.

Lotus stood still and asked curiously, "What sound?"

Xiaoqing took two steps forward and stretched out his head to look: "Little Master, there seems to be a group of people over there, what are you doing?"

"Let's go take a look."

The closer it got, the louder the sound, and when it was still a few dozen steps away, Lotus stopped.

I saw a few people holding a blood-stained woman and walking towards the cold palace with their backs to them.

The woman was wearing a prison uniform, her hair was messy. The prison uniform had many bloody welts, which were damaged in several places. From the damaged area, you could vaguely see the inner skin torn and fleshy, with shackles under her feet, and two eunuchs behind her. She cut her hands backwards, each holding her arm, followed by two sturdy old ladies on both sides, and an old eunuch with a whisk not far behind, walking towards the cold palace, dragging them all the way, dragging them out of the ground. A chain mark of shackles.

The woman described her madness and shouted wildly along the way: "You bastard slaves, I want to see Long Live Lord, let me go, I want to see Long Live Lord..."

She struggled fiercely while shouting, and the two eunuchs holding her almost dropped their hands several times.

An old maid beside her said in a sharp voice, "Niang Niang, you should just die, you committed such a big crime, Long Live Lord took your life around you, and you have not yet implicated your clan, it is already very kind, don't Let's make trouble again." Then he pulled a handful of the woman's hair, and said to the two eunuchs: "Stop it, let someone run away, rammed into the nobles in the palace, and be careful about your skin."

When did Xiaoqing see such a scene, she tugged at the sleeve of Lotus in fear: "Little Master, let's go." But the people around him didn't respond.

Lotus stared at the woman in a trance, she seemed to have seen such a scene a long time ago, bloodstains... prison uniform... shackles...

Seeing that the little master was not moving, Xiaoqing thought she wanted to watch again, so she endured the discomfort and stood still.

At this time, something happened suddenly, and I saw the woman's figure lowered, regardless of her two arms being held down, she forcibly flung them away, only to hear a cracking sound as if her bones were broken, and her two arms were twisted into pieces. The two eunuchs let go of their hands in fright, and the woman took the opportunity to shake off them and run back in the direction of Lianhua and the others.

The two stout old maids turned pale with fright and hurriedly grabbed at her, but they were in a hurry when they bumped into someone in the corner of their clothes and didn't catch them.

The woman ran back desperately with her arms down, and after a few steps, the old eunuch who followed behind flexibly blocked her way and gave her a blow with the handle of a whisk, knocking her to the ground: "No Your shackles are already giving you face, don't give your face shame. Come on, stop her mouth, carry her away, and see how she runs. "

The old eunuch instructed people to drag the person away quickly, so that nothing could go wrong. Before leaving, he glanced at Lianhua and the others from a distance, saluted and followed.

This change made Xiaoqing so frightened that she took a step back and hid behind Lotus, her hand tightly grasping Lotus's arm.

Lotus, on the other hand, was staring at the woman motionless, her face was terrifyingly calm, it could even be said to be indifferent.

Xiao Jizi had already heard the movement here. When he arrived, he saw that the face of the lotus was wrong, and his heart was stunned, and his thoughts were broken, how could the little master see the appearance of the waste concubine, don't scare the little master, Really bad luck.

This woman, Wei Jieyu, who was involved in the corruption case in the palace and colluded with the Monk Palace Bureau, was abolished as a concubine and sent to the cold palace. These little jizis knew, but he didn't know that she was escorted to the cold palace today, okay. Not dead, but also bumped into by the little master.If he knew, he would stop the little master and prevent her from coming.

Xiao Jizi hurried to the front of the lotus, and bowed down to the ground: "The servant should die, the servant came late and failed to protect the little master."

After speaking, he raised his head and shouted at Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, how can such a filthy thing be seen by the little master, how can it be good to scare the little master!" The tone was angry and anxious.

Xiaoqing was stunned by the fright. Xiaojizi usually laughs and has a good temper. When he bullies him occasionally, he won't say anything. When have he ever seen such a stern look.

But the lotus was still as if he had not heard it, and remained motionless.

 Hey, what happened to Lotus?Are you intimidated?After all, people are empathetic, and when they see the same kind, they will always extend to themselves, bah bah bah, the lotus is not Wei Jieyu
