My lord, your letter of divorce has been dropped

Chapter 9

Xiao Yuzhu frowned slightly, the smile on her face remained undiminished, with her habitual kindness in her mouth, she gently bent over to pick up the disobedient white cat just now, and stroked it comfortingly with her bare hands full of jewelry.

The white cat lazily rubbed its master's cuffs, found a comfortable position for its plump body, stretched itself, narrowed its eyes slightly, and even fell asleep.

The chief eunuch Liu Sheng next to him took a step forward and sternly said to the court lady who was kneeling on the ground. "Bold and lowly servant girl, disturbing the empress, the crime is unforgivable! Come on, give her fifty sticks to the barracks."

After hearing the punishment, the palace maid cried even harder and kept kowtowing to Xiao Yuzhu. In the huge hall, only the sound of kowtow echoed, which was shocking and creepy.

Hua Rumo held her breath, tried her best to suppress the horror in her heart, and managed to maintain a calm expression, without showing any ugly appearance of fear.

Although she has traveled here for six years, she has been living in the plum garden of the cold palace, and has never seen this kind of feudal oppression system in the true sense.

When I saw it today, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, but also a little terrified.

The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the dull eyes glowed with fluorescence.Afterwards, she bit her lip, as if after some ideological struggle, she was about to plead with the queen, but she heard the queen's gentle voice.

"Sent to the barracks? This punishment is too heavy for a woman." Xiao Yuzhu smiled lightly, stroking the golden hairpin on her head, her demeanor was indescribably elegant and luxurious. "It's better to cut off her hands and drive her out of the palace."

With a smile on his face, Liu Sheng saluted Xiao Yuzhu with even more respectful gestures. "The empress is truly a bodhisattva, God will surely bless my dynasty."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to signal the guards on both sides, and the maid was dragged away crying.The expressions of the people present were all indifferent, as if this was an ordinary thing.

Only Hua Rumo's face became pale as paper, the fingers in the sleeves trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat overflowed from the palms, making them sticky and uncomfortable.

I have heard that Empress Xiao is vicious and vicious, and her methods are cruel. Otherwise, she would not have been able to secure her throne among the three thousand beauties in the harem for decades. When I saw her today, she was even more ruthless than the rumors said.

Before she recovered from her panic, she heard Xiao Yuzhu whisper. "Women nowadays are too casual. As the saying goes, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Rumo, what do you think?"

Hua Rumo was taken aback for a moment, a forced smile appeared on her stiff face, and it took her a long time to find her own voice. "Your Majesty said that Rumo would follow the instructions."

Xiao Yuzhu was very satisfied with her reaction. Shocked, terrified, frightened, and eventually obeyed, she saw everything in her eyes. "Rumo, do you know why this palace ordered you to marry far away from the North Kingdom?"

Hua Rumo raised her eyes in a daze, her clean and clear eyes shone with a ignorant soft light, and her voice was submissive. "Also ask the empress to make it clear."

Xiao Yuzhu raised her eyelids, took a deep look at her, and then smiled magnificently. "Back then, I had a very good relationship with Concubine Mei, as sisters. It's a pity that the harem was like a battlefield. It was because I didn't protect my sister well, which caused my sister to be disfigured. As a sister, this has always been in my heart. knot."

As she spoke, she narrowed her gaze, frowned, and stroked the corners of her eyes, as if caught in a painful memory.

Liu Sheng who was beside him quickly stepped forward, handed Xiao Yuzhu a silk handkerchief respectfully, and said in a sad tone. "Empress, don't blame yourself anymore, your body is important."

Xiao Yuzhu took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, with a pitiful look on her face, she suppressed the tears she wanted to shed, and waved to Liu Sheng, motioning him to back down.

Hua Rumo's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a layer of mist appeared in her watery eyes. She held Xiao Yuzhu's hand instead, and said in a choked voice. "It's Rumo's blessing, there is no way to bring blessings to the concubine mother. It is already a great gift for the empress to remember concubine mother and Rumo."

Although she didn't know the reason for the mother concubine's disfigurement, she must have something to do with the empress when she thought about it. The empress said this now, no doubt she wanted to draw their relationship closer and let her be used by her.

"Rumo, you are really considerate." Xiao Yuzhu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. It has to be said that at her age, she still looks like a peerless beauty with tears in her eyes. "I have thought about it for a long time. This time the Northern Kingdom seeks peace. It should be the eldest princess Hua wants to marry Rong Yuan, but this is an opportunity to get you and sister Mei Concubine out of the sea of ​​suffering. If you are a peace princess, then Mei Concubine sister can If you return to the right position, you can enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future. I thought, this opportunity is better for you, it is my compensation for you and my sister."

Hua Rumo lowered her eyes, and Xiao Yuzhu's words were sincere and flawless. If she hadn't used her previous act of killing chickens and monkeys, she would really believe what she said.

It's just... such a cruel person, how can she believe her words.

Afterwards, Xiao Yuzhu really regarded herself as a good sister of her mother and concubine, and said some things to Hua Rumo, but Hua Rumo didn't care to listen to her, she was worried about Jingbai and her mother's concubine .
