Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 18 Pity
Xinyue closed her eyes in silence, and knelt there, enduring the whips and pain from different directions. In her subconscious, it seemed that the experience of resignation occupied the pain.

"Stop! If you do it again, I'll call someone!" Bao Si tried her best to protect Xin Yue's body, refusing to move a single step.

"Princess! It's dangerous!" Seeing that the eunuch who was executing the execution still didn't intend to let go, Ah Xi hugged Bao Si in a hurry.

"Bastard! This palace is cleaning up the palace discipline, how dare you cover up your girl, Xinyue, according to the palace regulations of Chaoyang Palace, how should I be punished?" Concubine Jin raised her brows, and aggressively asked Xin who was kneeling on the ground with bruised flesh. moon.

"According to the palace rules, if the master protects the maidservant, she should sit down and be kicked out of the palace gate!" Xinyue replied softly helplessly.

"Okay! Girl Xinyue, you are indeed an old man in the palace. Then the palace will issue an order. Princess Bao Si violated the palace rules and didn't know how to keep her own. Immediately drive out of the palace!" His look terrified everyone present.

"Let's go!" several eunuchs and maids couldn't help but dragged Baosi and Axi out who were crying.

Looking at the slender figures of the two weak girls, Concubine Hui stroked the emerald Double Happiness tassels on Fu Yun's temples, and couldn't help letting out a breath of air.

"Your Majesty, it can be said to kill the grass and roots. Since the king has secretly taken a fancy to this Baoguo princess, sooner or later he will take her back to the palace without telling the empress. From my slave's point of view, it is better to use an excuse to kill her. Even if we know it, it’s a done deal." An Zhen, the court lady in charge, flashed past Concubine Jin, and secretly reminded Concubine Jin.

"Yes! You must do everything right, come and drag Princess Baoguo and that girl back!" Imperial Concubine Jin raised her eyebrows and quickly ordered.

"What are you doing?" Bao Si and A Xi were dragged back by several wolf-like eunuchs, and their clothes and headgears were in a mess.

Bao Si glared at the concubine Jin who was smiling on her back, and asked, "Empress, what do you mean? Since you let us go, why did you bring us back?"

Concubine Jin ferociously touched Baosi's hibiscus-like face with her finger guard inlaid with multicolored agate, and said with a light smile, "Beauty, don't you insist on saving your father with your own life? Decided to do a good deed, to fulfill you, as long as you die, the king will naturally sympathize with you Baoguo, and let you Lord Hou go back to the country, how about it, how about this deal?"

"I'm the Princess of Baoguo, what right do you have to kill me?" Bao Si said with a fiery temper.

"Hmph? What about Princess Baoguo? Don't you know that there are so many people dying in the palace, how can the king have time to care about you? Your lives are worth less than a fly!" Zhen sarcastically said.

"Do it, push them down the well of Huayue Palace! Tell the outside world that they fell into the well!" Imperial Concubine Jin ordered calmly.

"No!" The eunuchs on the left and right raised a spirit of gloating, and pushed Baosi and Axi, who kept scolding him, to the ancient well outside the palace gate.

"Let go of me! Concubine Jin, you will suffer retribution for doing this!" Axi struggled desperately.

"Hahaha! Retribution? I, Shangguan Lanyue, have never heard anyone dare to say retribution to her face. Someone, stop her mouth!" Imperial Concubine Jin said slightly angrily.

"Shut up! You will be whatever your mother says about you! What retribution!" The eunuchs fiercely covered Ah Xi's small mouth, and were about to lift it up forcefully, when they suddenly said "Leave someone under the knife" and shocked all the palace people.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong. I don't know who revealed it. The king is rushing to Huayue Palace with people!" The eunuch Xiao Dezi knelt down in front of Imperial Concubine Jin panting with his whisk in hand.

"What? Hurry up and bring those two girls back!" Imperial Concubine Jin was terrified.

"Your Majesty, act first, if Princess Baoguo dies, according to the King's love for your Majesty, she will soon forget it." An Zhen tried her best to persuade her.

"No!" Concubine Jin shook her hand vigilantly: "We are all here, if those two girls are dead, the king will see it at a glance. At that time, if the opponents in other palaces take the opportunity to correct , we will lose more than we gain!"

"Your Majesty is here!" Soon, following the yell of the eunuch in front of the imperial court, Emperor Minggong had already stepped into Huayue Palace in a hurry.

"My concubine greets Lord Long Live!" Concubine Jin immediately changed her face, and greeted Ming Gong delicately.

"My concubine, what are you singing about? Why are you not in the bedroom today, but in the Huayue Palace, which has been in disrepair for a long time, so I'm so worried about this journey." Mingong said with a clear smile.

"Your Majesty, in fact, my concubine heard that His Majesty arranged for Princess Baoguo in Huayue Palace today. I thought that Princess Baoguo had suffered a lot of grievances because of the misrepresentation by the servants, so I went to Huayue Palace to appease her." Concubine Jin deliberately smiled. "Your Majesty, please use the Rongxi Soup!" Concubine Jin winked, and the maid at the side hurriedly knelt down respectfully and presented the inscription on the vessel.

"Oh, let's put it aside for now, the virtue of my concubine is going to surpass that of the late emperor's empress dowager, how can I not feel at ease." Ming Gong smiled and comforted.

"No, Imperial Concubine Jin is spreading rumors and causing trouble! Just now she asked someone to beat Sister Xinyue, how did she turn into comforting us in a blink of an eye?" Axi, who was kneeling by the side, protested dissatisfied.

"What? Girl Xinyue was beaten by you?" Mingong's eyes were full of anger.You know, this Xinyue is Ming Gong's favorite girl, no one except the queen and imperial concubine would dare to lift a finger at her.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin is obviously playing tricks. She was still viciously attacking our princess just now. Now that the king is here, they have changed their minds." Axi insisted.

"Nonsense! The masters are talking, what are you talking about here, a girl?" Xiao Dezi reprimanded with angry eyes.

"Is it true that people are not allowed to speak in the palace? Is it a crime to say one more sentence?" Axi said angrily.
