Chapter 359 My lady won’t stay
Night, in the north, Linfengdu Guanyi.

Emperor Mingxi's eyes darkened, as there are slaves as there are masters!He chuckled softly: "It's okay if you don't dare."

At this moment, Black Eagle, Duan Lei, and Li Yue also had expressions of confusion on their faces, lowering their heads fearfully for fear of being harmed.

Emperor Mingxi continued: "Miss Xiao is the eldest daughter of Marquis Wu'an, and Marquis Wu'an has worked hard and made great achievements. Naturally, I have to pay more attention to Marquis Wu'an."

"Since this evil thief is so cruel, in order to protect Miss Xiao's safety, I selected these maids who are good at boxing and kicking, so I asked them to go with Miss Xiao."

"Duan Lei and the others are all men and have many inconveniences. These maids are different. Whether they are capturing evil thieves, providing personal protection, or handling women's private affairs, it is no problem. With them guarding Miss Xiao, I will I feel relieved.”

The implication is that now there are not only the imperial guards, but also these maids, staring at her in the name of protecting her!It turns out that Duan Lei was obstructed by them in the name of being a foreigner, but now that these maids are here, there is no excuse for being a foreigner.

Xiao Jinxi sneered in her heart, but nodded in response: "Since the emperor has said so, I will accept it and thank the emperor for this."

An Xue and Shu Ya trembled in their hearts. Emperor Mingxi wanted to keep an eye on the young lady. However, after following his young lady for so long and seeing that the young lady had already agreed, he must have had a countermeasure. When he thought of this point, let them calm down immediately, and still lower their heads and wait.

Emperor Mingxi was very satisfied and responded: "Well, that's good."

"Duan Lei, Miss Xiao's safety will be left to you. If there is any inconvenience, just send these maids to deal with it."

Duan Lei responded hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates have written it down."

Emperor Mingxi chuckled softly: "You all remember, if Miss Xiao is injured or lost because of your inability to protect her, you will all come to see her."

Duan Lei hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your orders."

A group of maids also hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the maids will definitely take good care of Miss Xiao and protect Miss Xiao's safety. We will never be negligent."

"Yes." Emperor Mingxi nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Miss Xiao, are you planning to leave tomorrow?"

Xiao Jinxi bowed and replied: "Back to the Emperor, this is what I have planned."

"Yes." Emperor Mingxi said: "I wonder what Miss Xiao thinks about the rumors in the north?"

"Rumors?" Xiao Jinxi said in a surprised tone: "Your Majesty, my daughter has been staying in the official post these days and is not aware of the things outside. I wonder what rumors are outside? Your Majesty, you might as well tell your daughter. "

Emperor Mingxi looked at Xiao Jinxi meaningfully, and for a moment he said: "It's all gossip. Since Miss Xiao hasn't heard of it, she will ignore it."

With that said, he stood up: "It's already late tonight, so I won't disturb Miss Xiao's rest. Li Yue, go back to camp."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yue shouted hurriedly: "Go back to the camp..."

Everyone bowed and saluted: "Best farewell to the Emperor."

Emperor Mingxi glanced at Xiao Jinxi meaningfully, turned around and left, with murderous intent in his eyes when he turned around!
Watching Emperor Mingxi walking out, Xiao Jinxi took off his curtain hat just when he could no longer see his figure. There was a disgust in his eyes that made him feel sick even if he looked at it again!

After a moment, he turned around and looked at the group of maids, with a smile on his face.

A group of maids hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Miss Xiao."

Xiao Jinxi turned a blind eye, but raised her fingers and counted: "One, two, three..."

"Twelve people, haha... Your Majesty is so generous. He has assigned so many beautiful girls to me at once."

"Now that we're here, let's go." He said, taking the lead and walking ahead.

"Yes, Miss Xiao." A group of maids hurriedly followed.

Wing room on the second floor.

Xia Han, Qiu Zhu, Ruiqi, and Yun Luo were guarding the door of the wing. When they saw a group of people approaching, they looked at each other in confusion and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Miss."

Just walking to the door of the wing, Xiao Jinxi stopped instantly, turned to look at the group of maids behind him, and smiled: "Although you are all sent by the emperor, you are also useful and not useful. My personal people , not everyone can do it.”

Hearing this, a group of maids looked puzzled. Look at me and I look at you. What does this mean?He hurriedly bowed and replied: "Just follow the lady's instructions. The slaves will do their best to serve the good lady."

Xiao Jinxi nodded cooperatively: "Well, I do believe this."

Then he smiled and said: "If I want to use you, I have to get to know you first. Since the emperor said that you are so powerful, you can not only take care of my daily life, but even protect my safety. Then I have to choose carefully. Just pick it up."

One sentence can even protect my safety!People who were not present immediately understood, including Wei Mo and the secret guards in the hiding place, that the master was saying that these maids were all capable of martial arts.

Xiao Jinxi continued: "I have always liked people who are calm and patient. Come on, let them stand in a row."

Hearing this, An Xue and the others laughed and pulled the people into a line: "Girl, hurry up and stand still. Otherwise, the young lady will lose her temper."

Soon, a group of 12 people lined up in a long row, with their backs to the door of the wing.

Xiao Jinxi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very satisfied. She walked forward and looked at the group of people...
A group of maids were already frightened by Xiao Jinxi's sight, but they did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Come on, go find some big soup bowls and fill them with water, one for each person."

Hearing this, a group of maids exclaimed: "Ah..."

An Xue and the others smiled: "Yes, Miss." They hurriedly turned around to find a bowl to fill with water.

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said in a cold voice: "What, do you have any objections?"

A group of maids hurriedly shook their heads and responded: "No, slaves don't dare."

Xiao Jinxi nodded with great satisfaction: "Well, that's good. If you want to be my personal person, you have to be obedient. Otherwise, I won't make it difficult for myself."

Soon, An Xue and six others came back with large soup bowls filled with water. They all stuffed them into the hands of a group of maids: "Take it, don't spill it, otherwise the lady will lose her temper."

Hearing this, a group of maids looked bitter. Is Miss Xiao so prone to losing her temper?I sighed silently in my heart and took the soup bowl obediently.

Xiao Jinxi smiled and shouted: "Wei Mo."

As soon as the sound fell, Wei Mo appeared at the door, walked up to Xiao Jinxi, bowed and saluted: "Master."

Xiao Jinxi said: "Just keep an eye on me here. If the bowl in your hand spills water, I will send it directly back to the emperor tomorrow. Just say that this person has a fickle temper and I don't like it very much. Please take it back to the emperor."

Wei Mo responded loudly: "Yes, Master, my subordinates will definitely keep a close eye on everyone."

Wei Mo already knew in his heart that the master wanted him to see clearly the martial arts background of these maids, who was higher and who was lower!Standing with a big soup bowl in the middle of the night without spilling water at all is something a woman without martial arts cannot do. And the longer you hold it, the more you can see the person’s martial arts background!And a group of maids looked at Xiao Jinxi with shock on their faces, unable to spill the water!Several people hurriedly asked: "Miss Xiao, how long will the slaves have to wait?"

"How long will it take?" Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Keep it until I wake up. Those who pass the test can leave with me tomorrow. Otherwise, they will go back to the emperor to receive their punishment."

A group of maids trembled in their hearts and hurriedly bowed in response: "Yes, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Jinxi smiled, turned around and walked towards the side room, saying: "Xia Han, Shu Ya, you guys guard the door. An Xue and you guys go to rest first, and then take turns watching in the middle of the night."

"Yes, Miss." An Xue and the others bowed in response, already snickering in their hearts, Miss had something to do.With this move, even if you can't drive these people away, at least you can understand the depth of these people's martial arts, so you can deal with them easier in the future!

After taking a few steps, Xiao Jinxi turned around again and said with a smile: "Wei Mo, let the brothers take turns watching, don't tire yourself out."

Wei Mo bowed and responded: "Yes, master, don't worry, my subordinates will make arrangements."

Hearing this, a group of maids were already covered in black lines. Those who dare to love Miss Xiao and feel sorry for them should not be tired.And since they were sent by the emperor, they should stand here holding bowls?
Duan Lei, after seeing Emperor Mingxi off at the door of the inn, hurried back to the second floor and saw such a scene.

The maids brought by the emperor, all holding large soup bowls in their hands, lined up in front of the wing!
Wei Mo, who usually only hides in the dark and rarely shows his face, is now standing in front of this row of maids!

When a group of maids saw Duan Lei approaching, they all looked anxious and asked for help...
Duan Lei's face was full of embarrassment. It was okay for the foreign men like them to be embarrassed.Why are these maids like this too?But he had to ask why the emperor gave these maids to him.

Finally, he had to step forward and ask, "Wei Mo, what happened?"

Wei Mo responded unceremoniously: "Master asked me to watch them. Whoever's bowl spills water will be sent back to the emperor tomorrow."

Duan Lei looked surprised: "What, spill the water and send it back to the emperor!"

Xia Han at the door smiled and said: "Commander Duan, my lady always likes to be calm and patient. She can't even hold a bowl. My lady will not keep it."

Shu Ya continued: "Commander Duan, my lady is very picky, but not everyone can be my lady's personal person. If you can't even do this, it's better to go back early. Or maybe Commander Duan is afraid of them. Thank you for your hard work, you can take it back now."

Duan Lei's face was filled with black lines for a moment, and he responded: "Girl is joking."

"Since it is Miss Xiao's order, you should take care of it. Remember, the Emperor wants you to protect Miss Xiao. Only by staying by Miss Xiao's side can you live up to the holy hope."

The group of maids felt a chill in their hearts. There was no way they could be saved. Alas, they finally accepted their fate and responded: "Yes, Commander Duan."

Looking at the scene at the door, Duan Lei sighed in his heart, turned around and went downstairs. He had to send a message to the emperor quickly. He didn't know what would happen next!
For a long time, for a long time.

The sun rises in the sky, and the sunlight shines into the second floor through the corridor window. The row of figures is still standing there, each holding a large soup bowl in his hand. In this winter, their faces are covered with sweat. ······
That night, the Royal Guards patrolled to the second floor from time to time. Looking at this scene, they all couldn't bear it. They shook their heads helplessly and turned around to continue patrolling.

The moment they saw the sun rising, the twelve figures all looked happy. It was finally dawn and they no longer had to carry bowls.

At this moment, Duan Lei went up to the second floor. When he saw this row of figures, he shook his head helplessly, walked forward, bowed and asked: "Good morning, ladies, the Imperial Guards are all ready. May I ask, Mr. Xiao?" When will Miss leave?"

An Xue saluted politely: "Good morning, Commander Duan, our lady hasn't woken up yet, please wait a little longer."

Duan Lei was stunned: "You haven't woken up yet? Doesn't Miss Xiao usually have breakfast at the beginning of the morning?"

Qiuzhu said with a surprised look on his face: "Commander Duan, you, a foreigner, know so much about my young lady's daily life. This is very disrespectful."

Duan Lei looked embarrassed for a moment and said: "The girl was joking. Duan Lei didn't mean to offend. The official post is only so big. I only found out when I saw the girls delivering breakfast inside."

An Xue responded rudely: "That's all, we won't pursue this with you now."

"It's just that my lady slept late last night and hasn't gotten up today. Commander Duan will wait for now. When my lady wakes up and is about to leave, I will naturally notify Commander Duan."

Hearing this, the row of maids' faces instantly had black lines on their faces, which meant that they had to continue carrying the bowls!
Duan Lei responded helplessly: "Okay, then I'll wait for your notification."

Then, he turned around and walked towards the row of maids. Looking at the shaky row of people, he whispered softly: "It's already a quarter past two o'clock. Miss Xiao will almost wake up, so take care of her."

The heads of a group of maids suddenly trembled. Duan Lei was reminding them that they had been waiting all night and if they couldn't hold on any longer, the emperor would definitely not let them go when they returned!He responded hurriedly: "Yes, Commander Duan."

Duan Lei glanced at the closed door again, sighing in his heart, Miss Xiao might have done it on purpose. Now there are rumors everywhere, Miss Xiao's way of pretending not to know last night was probably fake. .That's why I took this opportunity to drive them away one by one. Whether or not they were driven away, I could understand their martial arts background.

After a moment, he finally turned around and left helplessly, sighing secretly in his heart that he couldn't care about that much anymore, so he would first leave the person behind according to the emperor's request.

In the wing room, Xiao Jinxi and Luo Er were sitting around the table, laughing, eating snacks, sipping tea, and listening to the play outside.

Time passed little by little.

At the end of the morning, the door to the wing room was finally opened, and Xiao Jinxi walked out.

Wei Mo stepped forward, nodded, and bowed in salute: "Master, you are holding all the bowls, and you haven't spilled any."

"Oh..." Xiao Jinxi pursed her lips and smiled, very satisfied. It seemed that Wei Mo had understood their background.

Luo'er had already walked quickly to a group of maids. He looked at the group of people curiously, then smiled and exclaimed: "You girls are so amazing! You can actually carry bowls all night long, it's really amazing! The young lady likes it the most Such a powerful person!”

A group of maids suddenly had black lines on their faces and calmed down. This person should be Xiao Luo'er, the most considerate person around Xiao Jinxi. They cannot offend, cannot offend, and then they all raised their smiles: "Hello, Miss Luo'er."

Luo'er exclaimed: "I've never met you before, but you actually know me! Someone met me early in the morning. I'm really happy to hear that!"

A group of maids responded hurriedly: "As long as Miss Luoer likes it."

Xiao Jinxi was holding back her laughter, walked forward, looked at the group of people, and said: "Not bad, it seems that the emperor is right, you are indeed very powerful. In this case, just put the bowl away, ready to go."

Hearing this, a group of maids breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put down their bowls, bowed and saluted: "Yes, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Jinxi smiled, turned around and walked downstairs.

Soon, a group of people came out of the official post.

The carriage was prepared by Mo Yi for Xiao Jinxi. The carriage was made of iron pear wood. After entering the official post, the carriage was always guarded by secret guards.

At this moment, An Xue and Qiuzhu were driving a carriage in front, followed closely by the six maids' exclusive carriages. Wei Mo and secret guards were riding horses to guard the front and rear.

The Royal Forest Army was divided into two groups, walking in front and behind the carriage, with Duan Lei riding in front.

And there is an extra group of people here, that is, the group of maids, who have been up all night carrying bowls. At this moment, they still have to cheer up and follow.
