Chapter 219 Beads
As soon as Concubine Yun Gui left, Dong Xue immediately ran over and said to the executioner: "The master said, now you only need to put on a show, and when the emperor comes, you are really beating me."

The man immediately stopped the whip that was about to fall in his hand, and just lightly swept it across Xia Zijin's back.

Finally getting a chance to breathe, Xia Zijin looked up at Dongxue in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Xia Zijin is not a fool, if it was what Concubine Yun Gui meant, she would have already ordered so, why wait until now.

Dong Xue shook her head, she still felt guilty towards Xia Zijin in her heart, after all, she was the one who reminded Concubine Yun Gui to let Xia Zijin take the blame.

"Don't blame the master, this is our fate as slaves."

Xia Zijin sneered inwardly. Could it be that the life of a slave is not life, and as a slave, he should be used as a stepping stone by the master everywhere?
From Xia Zijin's point of view, although Dongxue is very smart and thoughtful, her only shortcoming is stupid loyalty. In her opinion, no matter what her master does is right or not, she should stand by her master's side, even if she is arrogant. Help even if you die.

Suddenly Xia Zijin looked at Dongxue and whispered, "Do me a favor."

"You said."

"Find me a rope to wear around my neck."

Although a little confused, Dongxue didn't refuse, and immediately went to the room to help her find the rope.

Soon Dongxue returned to Xia Zijin with a red rope, took the rope, and took out a bright yellow bead from his bosom with difficulty, then put her on the rope, hung her around her neck, and used The clothes blocked it, but revealed a little bit.

This bead was given to her by Murong Yanye when she was born on her birthday. She kept it with her all the time because she was afraid of losing it. She hoped it would be useful today.

Although Dong Xue was very puzzled by Xia Zijin's actions, he didn't ask.

But Concubine Yun Gui came to the imperial study room, but she was shut down.

In desperation, Concubine Yun had no choice but to say loudly: "Your Majesty, it's fine for you not to see your concubines, but Su Jin is about to die."

There was still no movement inside, just when Concubine Yun Gui thought he would not come out, Murong Yanye suddenly appeared in front of her and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Murong Yanye was willing to come out, Concubine Yun was both happy and lonely, but at this moment she could no longer care about her own emotions, and said with a choked voice: "Su Jin received fifty lashes herself, saying that it was all her fault , she wants to admit her mistake to the emperor herself, and the concubine can't persuade her, now she has been whipped more than a dozen times, and she is about to die."

Hearing this, Murong Yanye frowned, and then strode towards Mingxin Palace.

Dong Xue had been standing at the gate of the courtyard watching the wind, and when she saw Murong Yanye's figure, she hurried over and said to the executioner, "The emperor is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whip in the man's hand also fell, Xia Zijin closed her eyes and bit her lips, praying silently in her heart.

As soon as Murong Yanye came in, he saw Xia Zijin's already blurred back and her pale face, and his heart tightened immediately, but he didn't make a sound to stop it.

He didn't want to be deceived again before the matter was clarified. He walked over slowly, looked at the sweating Xia Zijin and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Xia Zijin opened his eyes, looked at Murong Yanye and said weakly: "Because--because this matter is all the fault of the servant, so the servant will take the punishment on his own. Please don't misunderstand the master."

Murong Yanye wanted to continue asking questions, but his eyes suddenly fell on a yellow bead looming on Xia Zijin's chest. He was slightly taken aback. Murong Yanye reached out and took out the bead, and it turned out to be the one on his sleeve. .

He didn't expect Xia Zijin to keep it and wear it all the time.
