first class maid

Chapter 4: A Lesson in the Court (1)
Is this still called Karen?Xun Zhen looked up at the young man in front of him in disbelief.

How dare you look directly at him?It seems that this girl really needs to be taught a good lesson, at least to let her remember, who can see who can see who can't, "Sun Datong, the execution is still not executed?" He sternly shouted at Sun Datong.

Sun Datong nodded, "Yes, this old slave obeys." Putting down the stunned Xun Zhen, before she could react, the raised palm fell down quickly.

There was a "slap" on Xun Zhen's left cheek, and when his face was so hot that he couldn't feel any pain, he received another slap on his right cheek.

The sound of "slaps" was extremely loud in this narrow alleyway, and all the little maids were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they all shrank their heads. Every time they heard the sound, they closed their eyes, as if the slap fell on them. Her body was normal, even Yu Ruyi shrank her head, her eyes gleamed with viciousness but she couldn't help the fear in her heart.

After twenty slaps, Xun Zhen's face became swollen, and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, leaving a bloodstain on the pink shirt in an instant.

Xun Zhen felt that her face was hurting, her heart was hurting, her heart was hurting too, the tears in her eyes dripped silently from her lowered head, onto the blue brick floor, and blossomed on the ground in an instant. tears.She didn't even pay attention to when the people around left. She only remembered that the arrogant young man said viciously on top of her head when he left: "Remember, you have to kneel until the same hour tomorrow before getting up. If you dare to be lazy , don’t blame Gu..." Unfinished words made her tremble.

Yu Wenhong, who was sitting on the sedan chair, glanced back at the girl kneeling in the wind, his face was thoughtful, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Sun Datong glaring at those who dared to peek at his every move, and then looked back at Xun Datong. True eyes, at this moment there is no comfort in his eyes, only as deep as night.

"Your Highness, you have arrived at the East Palace." Sun Datong lowered his head slightly and reported in a low voice.

Only then did Yu Wenhong look up at his bedroom, the majestic palace shone golden in the sun, the red pillars and yellow tiles carried a royal look, the corners of his mouth grinned, and then he stretched out his hand and got out of the sedan chair with the help of Sun Datong On the chariot, the maids and eunuchs on both sides all stood with their heads down, not daring to say a word.

When he stepped into the secret study room in his East Palace, he saw his Tai Fu Yan Han and a group of people waiting for him.

"How are the members of the Xun family arranged?" He sat down at the head and looked at the group of people with dignity.

"Your Highness, General Xun's daughter has been selected as a maid of honor." A woman in green replied respectfully.

"Gu has seen it just now." It seems that it is the girl. He has seen the jade pendant of the Xun family on the body of General Xun, who served as him. The Xun family has always been named with a single character.

Sun Datong served tea and respectfully placed it in front of Yu Wenhong, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, why is the punishment so severe? Is it too late for a little girl who is only eight years old to ask her to kneel for twelve hours?" He As a person who watched the prince grow up, he knew that the prince changed the punishment, there must be his intentions, so his slap was also very skillful, it looked fierce, but it was only a flesh wound.

"Let her know that the palace is not such a good place to stay, you have to be smart to save your life." He took a sip of tea leisurely from his teacup.

"The servant will find a way to let her enter the Shang Palace Bureau. It should be safer under the care of the servant." The woman in green said again.

He nodded slightly, "Where are the rest of the Xun family? The important thing is what happened to the son of the Xun family?" His stern eyes swept over the restless faces of a group of people. It seemed that something was wrong?At this time, he no longer had the leisurely time just now, but instead carried the calmness before the storm.

One of the middle-aged men stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, my subordinates are not doing well. Xun Ying, the eldest son of Xun, was kidnapped by unknown people on the way to the border. When my subordinates chased after him, there was no one in sight." And now not only his subordinates are looking for it, but Xiang Liu’s people are also looking for it, and people under General Xun are also joining the search.”

"More than that, General Xun's wife threw herself into the river on the way to the brothel, and now General Xun's sister, Xun Lan, is locked up in the brothel by her subordinates." Another person came forward and reported.

The teacup slammed into a flower on the ground, and the two quickly knelt down and said, "It's all due to my incompetence. Please punish the prince."

He was about to scold them, but saw his Taifu Yan Han shaking his head at him, but suppressed his anger and sat back in the chair again, "What is the Taifu's good plan?" Others can say, the important thing is the male of the Xun family, Now that his whereabouts are unknown, what use does he want those two women from the Xun family?
The family of the number one general in the Hua Kingdom is not in vain, but the population of the Xun family is usually not prosperous. Nine times out of ten, they died in battle, so there are few descendants, but their influence in the army cannot be underestimated. The direct subordinates will only hold back when they get the secret order from Marshal Xun at the end of their lives, otherwise Huaguo would have been messed up by Liu Xiang and his father, who was indistinguishable from each other.

Yan Han glanced at the two people, "First of all, concentrate on finding out the whereabouts of Xun Lan's parents. As for Xun Lan, let her be a maid in a brothel. If you hide her now, you will only scare the snake. After all, Liu The Prime Minister is very powerful in the court."

"Just do what the Taifu said." He closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair and instructed.

"Yes."

Soon everyone retreated, only Yan Han and Sun Datong remained in the secret room, "Teacher, really can't reverse the case for the Xun family now?" Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at his teacher.

Yan Han shook his head, "The emperor trusts Liu Xiang, and now it is not good for His Highness to reverse the case for the Xun family. Besides, the old Marshal Xun and General Xun have been executed, and the males of the Xun family have not fallen into our hands. Your Highness needs It's better to wait."

He knew what the teacher said was true, if he wasn't the queen's son, he probably wouldn't be the crown prince. After all, there were three elder brothers above him, and those three elder brothers wanted to pull him down all the time.The old fox Liu Jinyuan vigorously cultivated his own power in the ruling and opposition parties, his wolf ambitions were obvious, and he actually slandered the Xun family for treason for his own self-interest, and his father was so stupid that he only believed in that old fox.At the age of 12, although he is the crown prince, he is still underage and unable to interfere in the government affairs. He won the punishment for the Xun family today by knocking on the sidelines of his father. He has lived up to General Xun's dying entrustment.
