marry the princess

Chapter 25 Doubt
"Yan Xinyao, it's not up to you to decide the rules of this king's palace." Murong Huayi warned her by calling her by first and last name, and his expression became more serious.

Su Leyan was stunned for a moment, because she almost forgot that she was under the fence of others and attracted suspicion.For Murong Huayi, head-to-head will not work.

Su Leyan lowered her voice knowing she was wrong, "My lord, I know I was wrong. It's just that I can't blame Qingyue and Xiaoyou for this matter. They both protected me, but I was too careless and accidentally hurt myself." After finishing speaking, she She also showed her bandaged wrist, "Qingyue rubbed it for me with the Dieda wine that Xiaoyou gave me, and I'm fine."

Wrist swollen like a bun, okay?
When Murong Huayi saw it, his face became even more gloomy, "The princess is about to enter the palace with the king to attend the queen mother's dinner, but you hurt the princess at this time. I don't need to say more about the fault."

"Slave, slave girl confessed." Xiaoyou knelt aside, her voice trembling, Qingyue was also very frightened.

"Aren't you going to confess your crime?!" Murong Huayi scolded, and Xiaoyou trembled again.

"Qingyue is my maidservant, you have no right to deal with my people!" Su Leyan was powerless to argue, so she had to settle for the next best thing, her eyes flicked back and forth between Qingyue and Murong Huayi anxiously, "I don't care about the people in your palace, But my people, you are not allowed to move."

"Your person?" Murong Huayi looked at her solemn expression, "Princess forgot, from the day you married into the palace, you are my person."

Su Leyan choked.

"Still going down?" Murong Huayi stared at Qingyue and Xiaoyou who were still kneeling, "Do you think the princess can spare you this punishment by pleading for you?"

They can still calm down, but no matter how much Su Leyan wants to keep them, the punishment this time is absolutely necessary.

"Wait a minute, don't go, I can't leave them, I, I..." Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Su Leyan could only shout casually in a panic, "I haven't eaten yet, Xiaoyou and Qingyue want to serve me for dinner! You If they are punished, who will stay in Shuixin Pavilion to serve me?!"

"This king's palace is not short of two maids. If the princess thinks there are too few, she can choose a few more maids."

"..."

Qingyue and Xiaoyou finally left Shuixin Pavilion. Seeing that they were all gone, Su Leyan naturally didn't care about eating and drinking, and followed him anxiously, "How will the lord punish them?"

Seeing her nervous and worried expression, Murong Huayi couldn't bear to make her frightened, and said frankly, "Punish with a rod to show punishment."

And the word stick responsibility reminded Su Leyan of the nightmare that Yan Zhi brought her, her face turned pale immediately, "Can't the prince spare them?"

"The palace has its own rules." Murong Huayi saw that she still wanted to intercede for them, and his expression was slightly annoyed, "You can't change it no matter what you say, don't mention this matter to me again."

After saying that, Murong Huayi turned around and left in a huff.

Su Leyan bit her lip, not daring to speak again.He is the lord of a mansion, so he has the final say on what to do, and his reasons are indeed irrefutable. If she, Su Leyan, is really the princess of Miss Qianjin's palace, the servants around her will be to blame for being hurt, but In fact, she is not, she is just an ordinary teacher, so she has a special feeling of closeness to Qingyue and Xiaoyou, and naturally she is reluctant to let them suffer.

Qingyue and Xiaoyou were beaten up, unable to do anything for two days because of the pain, Su Leyan turned away the new maids that Murong Huayi picked for her to show her dissatisfaction, Murong Huayi blackmailed her for this matter. When Wei Lie sued and asked Murong Huayi for instructions, he would be secretly startled when he accidentally caught sight of Murong Huayi's face, worrying whether he had made a mistake in his work.

"What's the result of the test?" Wei Lie waited for a long time before Murong Huayi finally spoke.

"In order to hide the fact that she knows martial arts, she has endured the pain of being scolded." Wei Lie cupped his hands and continued to report to Murong Huayi, "My subordinates have found out that the maid of the princess was indeed Qingyue when she was in the general's mansion. Since I was a child, I grew up in the General's Mansion to serve the Princess. But the Princess has almost never left the General's Mansion, so there is not much reliable information about the maids around the Princess."

"A maid who knows martial arts by my side can indeed protect the safety of the master, but since Yan Zhi never lets Yan Xinyao leave the house, there is still such a maid by my side..." Murong Huayi frowned slightly, "Yan Zhi's Is the General’s Mansion so unsafe?”

"Please ask the prince to instruct how to proceed next."

"Since there is a problem with Qingyue, let's start with her. Keep an eye on her actions, and report to me if there is any abnormality."

In Shuixin Pavilion, Qingyue is resting with Xiaoyou. It is probably the first time that Xiaoyou has received such a heavy punishment. She droops her brows and eyes and looks unhappy all day long. Qingyue is much calmer. , When it's time to take the medicine, take the medicine, eat when it's time to eat, and when it's time to sleep, I can only endure it and rest on my stomach.

"Are you hungry? Let's have some cold cakes." Su Leyan took a plate of snacks and walked to them, "I'm the one who hurt you two this time, are you still in pain?"

"Princess, let Xiaoyou do these things." Seeing Su Leyan holding something in her hand, Xiaoyou was about to get up, but Su Leyan stopped her and let her sit still. Xiaoyou looked at Su Leyan gratefully and said, "Thank you very much." The princess is concerned, Xiaoyou is already much better. Sister Qingyue and I failed to take good care of the princess in the past two days, which made the princess suffer."

"As long as you are well." Su Leyan looked at the two of them, still feeling a little resentful towards Murong Huayi in her heart, "The prince really made a big fuss this time."

"Princess, don't be angry with the lord. The lord is also worried that the wangfei is so nervous." Xiaoyou has also seen Su Leyan's attitude towards Murong Huayi in the past two days, and now she is trying to persuade her, "The lord has never He has been so strict with us before, and the prince is so angry this time because he feels sorry for the injury of the princess, and punished us—even sister Qingyue also punished us. This should be a warning to other servants, asking us to take good care of the princess in the future .”

Xiaoxiu's analysis of this sentence was very reasonable, Su Leyan was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.In the eyes of others, Murong Huayi dotes on her very much, so he naturally does not miss every opportunity to "show favor" to her, and it is very possible that this matter will be used by him to make a big fuss.

But after hearing Xiaoyou's words, Qingyue didn't think so, and had other thoughts.Even if Murong Huayi really loves Su Leyan too much, he won't insist on punishing them all the time... Su Leyan defends them both everywhere, if Murong Huayi really dotes on Su Leyan, Aiwu and Wu will not get angry in front of Su Leyan .With this incident, it is probably because Murong Huayi still has a grudge against them.

With such concerns, Qingyue made this guess to Su Leyan when Xiaoyou was not around.Su Leyan was very surprised, she stared at Qingyue with wide eyes, "How could the prince doubt you?"

"We are from the General's Mansion. Although we are married into the Wang's Mansion, we are from the General's Mansion after all. Only we know where our hearts are headed. Anyone with a discerning eye knows the purpose of this marriage. The master beat him to monitor him. My idea, this prince is not a foolish person, I think he married the lady for the sake of the general's military power, so it's no problem to take precautions against us." Qingyue analyzed, "The prince has a bit of love for the lady now, but this' Whether the heart is true or not is still unknown, and we can't take it lightly, if the prince really catches us, it will not only disappoint the master, but also our life will not be easy."

Hearing Qingyue's words, Su Leyan nodded in agreement, "You and I must be more cautious in the future."

Qingyue's words are also very candid, analyzing the pros and cons and telling each other frankly, she completely regards Su Leyan as her master.These days we get along day and night, and there is no major incident in the mansion. Su Leyan's life is also stable and peaceful, and she is also very good to her. Her defense against Su Leyan is gradually weakened.

After Qingyue left, when Su Leyan was alone, she thought about Qingyue's words carefully.Qingyue's words are right, Murong Huayi has a bit of concern for her now, but she doesn't know what this concern is. She needs to be clear, so that she can be sure of her position.

The dignitaries above the court all have their own ghosts. She is caught in the middle alone, like a hostage held by two people with sharp knives against the neck at the same time. If she can't find a balance point, no matter which side It's all a dead word.These two sides are equally powerful, and she can't afford to offend either side.However, if she gets rid of the predicament of being held hostage by two sides, she can use one of the sharp knives to stab the other... The person she wants to stab is naturally Yan Zhi, who is her enemy.

But how can we get rid of this situation of being suspected and monitored on both sides?

Su Leyan is in trouble, Yan Zhi is an old fox, and Murong Huayi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she is a weak woman caught in the middle, it is really hard to do anything...
