Chapter 241 Darkness
As if he didn't expect Xu Xu to be such a rogue, the emperor could only helplessly smile and said, "In the past, I only knew that you were a lady who knew the rules and etiquette, but I didn't know that you were still a little slipper who loved to act rogue."

It seemed that she was not really angry with herself, so Xu Xu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The person kneeling on the ground also heaved a sigh of relief.

"But even though you are a first-time offender, I have to let you have a longer memory." Dijun said this very gently.

It didn't seem like he was going to punish Xu Xu, but rather coaxing her.

"What punishment?" Xu Xu didn't know how to be afraid at this time, but raised her head and asked him.

The emperor didn't speak, but smiled very softly, a red lotus clustered in his palm, and the lotus glowed like a faint will-o'-the-wisp.

"Does it look good?" Dijun asked gently.

Xu Xu didn't know what it was, but thought it was really pretty.She nodded, "Nice."

The emperor just looked at the expression on Xu Xu's face. There was no fear on her face, like a poor actress without common sense.

But if this actor is her, it seems that she really doesn't know this. His expression was very complicated for a moment.

The face of the person kneeling underneath turned completely pale, Xu Xu was really very courageous, she stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch the dark green lotus like a will-o'-the-wisp.

But before she touched it, the emperor had already pushed the lotus flame upside down on the person kneeling beside him.

In an instant, the green will-o'-the-wisp turned into the karma fire of hell, burning the kneeling man into ashes.

All this happened in just a few moments.

Xu Xu realized that the green lotus could kill people, and only then did she realize that her face turned pale.

If she had touched the flame just now, wouldn't it be her who died?

After returning to the Golden Lotus Terrace, Xu Xu subconsciously wanted to stay away from this person.

After all, he is indeed not brother Yuan Yan. If he were brother Yuan Yan, how could he be so cruel.

There were bursts of crying in the Golden Lotus Terrace.

Originally, this was always a place of singing and dancing, but it seemed to have become a purgatory.

As soon as Xu Xu came back, she found that Shuangxi and several other maids in the inner courtyard were pressed on the bench and beaten.The bang bang sound of the wooden stick hitting the flesh, and the cries of the women because they couldn't stand the pain, only made Xu Xu's heart skip a beat.

Shuangxi bit her lip but did not cry out.But those lips were almost bitten by her.Xu Xu frowned even more when she saw the situation in front of her.

"Don't hit her!" Xu Xu wanted to rush over to prevent the stick from falling on Shuangxi.

But before she got close to them, Xu Xu was grabbed by the wrist.

The person who held Xu Xu was none other than Emperor Dongze.

"Why do you beat people! Let's talk about it!" Xu Xu said dissatisfied.

But Xu Xu's request was not heard by anyone, after all, the order was behind him.They didn't dare to stop if the man didn't shout to stop.

Xu Xu seems to have finally realized this.

"What did Shuangxi and the others do wrong? Why did you let someone beat them?" Xu Xu hurriedly pleaded for Shuangxi and the others.

Emperor Dongze said displeasedly, "They serve the master but they don't even know where the master has gone. It can be seen that they don't care about the master's affairs on weekdays. I punished them just to warn others."

Xu Xu said, "What a warning to others, they took good care of me, it's my fault! It's my fault, don't punish them, okay? If you want to hit me, hit me!"

But Emperor Dongze's face was even darker, he was not moved by Xu Xu's intercession words.

"You said it was your fault, do you know where the fault is?"

"I shouldn't go to Jixian Garden, I shouldn't go out in the middle of the night." Xu Xu whispered.

"What else?" The emperor continued to ask.

Xu Xu looked at the other party in confusion, she really couldn't think of anything wrong.

The emperor sighed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
