The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 142

Chen Lu also laughed and said, "Ma'am, you are a villain. In the palace, you can call me a villain Chen Lu."

"Brother Chen, it's great that you can come in and accompany me. Come, please sit down."

Zheng Xiu wanted to pull Chen Lu to sit on the soft couch. After all, Chen Lu took good care of her in the past. After being in the palace for so long, it is still very happy to see her old friend.

"The villain doesn't dare." Chen Lu shook his head, still doing his job as a servant.

Zheng Xiu didn't insist either, and asked with a smile, "How long have you been in the palace?"

"It has been more than ten days, and I have been doing cleaning work in the kitchen. The eunuch who brought tea today was sick, so I brought water to Madam for him, so I had a chance to see Madam."

After Chen Lu entered the palace, he had to start from the lowest level as a handyman. If it hadn't been for this opportunity, it would have been difficult to meet Zheng Xiu.

"Don't clean the back kitchen any more, go serve me by the side of the palace. It just so happens that there is one less capable steward." Zheng Xiu has very few people who can use him in the palace. Otherwise, Zheng Long would have to commit such a serious crime. protect him.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness." Chen Lu kowtowed excitedly to express his gratitude.

"Chen Lu, you are fine outside, why do you have to go to the palace and suffer this crime?"

Zheng Xiu didn't understand, no matter what, being a hunter in the mountains and forests was much better than going to Chu Palace to suffer.

"The villain is no longer a normal man. Even in Dahan Village, although others don't say it, the villain can still feel it. In the dead of night, I always miss my wife, so I want to go to the palace to meet my wife. Even if I die in In the palace, villains are also willing."

Zheng Xiu was very moved by Chen Lu's heartfelt words.

After all, Chen Lu was injured while trying to save her, and now he endured humiliation and went to the palace to serve her.

How can you not be moved?

Zheng Xiu said with emotion: "Brother Chen, don't worry. I will never let you be humiliated again in the palace. If any servant who is short-sighted dares to humiliate you, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"With Madam's words, even the villain's death is worth it." Chen Lu kowtowed excitedly again.

"Get up, don't keep kneeling." Zheng Xiu smiled and waved his hands.

a few days later.

Chen Lu was also transferred from the harem kitchen to work beside Zheng Xiu.

In the main hall, Zheng Xiu was resting on a soft bed, and a maid came in from outside the hall.

She was holding a square wooden cage in her hand, which seemed to contain something. The palace maid put the wooden cage on the ground, knelt down and said, "Madam, I brought what you asked for."

"Well, bring it up." Zheng Xiu sat up and regained his graceful look.

"Here."

The maid lifted the wooden cage up, and there seemed to be something moving inside.

At first glance, it turned out to be a little white rabbit.

Chen Lu stood outside the hall and saw the little white rabbit in the wooden cage. At that time, he thought: It turns out that Zheng Xiu also likes small animals.

"Let's all go back."

Zheng Xiu asked the others to step back, walked over to open the wooden cage, and held the little rabbit in his arms to stroke.

"Here."

The maids who served all bowed and retreated.

Several court ladies and eunuchs gathered around and discussed in low voices outside the hall.

"Oh, what a poor little rabbit."

"Yeah, this is the third time this month, every time... I won't talk about it."

A few court ladies and eunuchs next to them were discussing, and there was a trace of fear in their expressions.

Chen Lu was very puzzled when he heard what they said, why did he say that the little rabbit was pitiful?
Aren't you playing with the bunny?

Could it be that Zheng Xiu would still peel rabbits alive and make soup in the hall?

After a while, a voice came from the hall.

The two maids walked in tremblingly, and Chen Lu felt strange and followed them.

But in the hall, Chen Lu's scalp was about to explode.

The steps above were covered in blood, and the little rabbit's body seemed to be trampled on by something, because there were still obvious bloody footprints on the ground.

This little rabbit was trampled to death by Zheng Xiu.

why?
Chen Lu's eyes widened, as if he just met Zheng Xiu again today.

People with extremely twisted minds would do this, right?This is completely different from the Zheng Xiu I knew before.

Why is this happening?

Would it change a person after entering the palace?
Zheng Xiu was lying comfortably on the incense couch at the moment, enjoying the pleasure just now with his eyes closed. The soles of the pink short boots were covered with blood and rabbit fur.

That's right, that little white rabbit was trampled to death by her.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

In the past, Zheng Xiu gave people the feeling of a girl next door, but she didn't know that she had no playmates since she was a child and had no other friends except her parents.

Developed an autistic, distorted character.

But when meeting outsiders, they can hide everything very well, giving people a very kind and lively feeling.

When alone, I like to catch some small animals, such as frogs, birds, and small fish.

After playing around a bit, she was trampled to death alive. Only when she saw the bloody corpse could her biannual heart be satisfied.

Back then in Dahan Village, when Su Lin introduced the little white rabbit to her, the idea of ​​playing with it rose in her heart.

When no one was around, a little white rabbit was brought from the rabbit house, and trampled to death cruelly in a place where no one was around.

The blood stains were cleaned up afterwards so no one noticed.

Chen Lu couldn't believe it, Zheng Xiu was so cruel that it was beyond hope.

The maids knelt on the ground to clean the blood, not daring to show any discomfort.

Otherwise, their end will be even worse than this rabbit.

"Eunuch Chen." Zheng Xiu said lazily.

"Here."

Chen Lu resisted the urge to vomit and walked up, bowed and said, "What are your orders, madam?"

Taking a closer look, the soles of Zheng Xiu's boots were sticky with flesh and blood, which was really disgusting. Even though Chen Lu had that special habit, it hadn't reached the point of being so heavy.

"I've been bored lately. There's a good show, why don't we go watch it together?" Zheng Xiu turned his sly eyes and smiled.

"What's the show?" Chen Lu looked confused.

……

A remote palace, this is the coldest palace in Chu Palace, usually few people come here, and there is a forest next to it, it is said that there will be ghosts at night, so no one dares to come now.

The eunuch imprisoned in an iron cage was none other than Liu Ming. He was bruised all over his body and was on the verge of death.

"Madam, Madam, please let him go." Xiaocui knelt in front of the cage and kowtowed vigorously.

Zheng Xiu was wearing a purple dress and purple boots. He was looking at his nails, as if he didn't listen to Xiao Cui's words.

Chen Lu who was standing aside was puzzled, what is this for?There is something to watch.

Isn't it just to punish court ladies and eunuchs who made mistakes?

I heard that Xiaocui is Zheng Xiu's servant girl, and she seems to be pregnant with an eunuch.

Wait, no, the eunuch doesn't have that, how could he be pregnant.

Moreover, there is only one person in the Chu Palace who can sow seeds, and that is the King of Chu. Is it possible?
With a little information, Chen Lu restored the truth of the whole thing.

"Climb over here." Zheng Xiu chuckled lightly, hooking his toes.

Xiaocui didn't dare to disobey, and crawled over tremblingly, her face haggard and pitiful.

Zheng Xiu lifted Xiao Cui's chin with the toe of his boot, and said softly: "Xiao Cui, you are also an old man beside me, how could you do such a wrong thing, it's pitiful to see you sad."

"Ma'am, I don't dare to do this servant anymore, I beg Madam to spare my life." Xiao Cui trembled in fright.

"Hey, you are pregnant with the king's child. I will definitely report to the king and give you a status. But if you do such a thing behind your master's back, do you want to commit the following crime?" Zheng Xiu's voice turned cold at the end.

"No, no, slaves don't dare." Xiaocui shook her head trembling all over.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Take care of the baby with peace of mind. After the baby is born, I will take care of it for you." Zheng Xiu put his foot down and said softly.

"Thank you Madam for not killing me." Xiao Cui hurriedly kowtowed to thank her as if she had been pardoned.

"but……."

Zheng Xiu changed the topic and sneered: "But this eunuch cannot be let go like this. Come on, chop off his hands and feet, gouge out his eyes, cut off his nose, cut off his ears and tongue, and throw them here." He died slowly."

After speaking, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

"Do not……."

Xiaocui rolled her eyes after hearing this, and fainted immediately.

Chen Lu was also so frightened that his legs went limp, this, this, who could stand this kind of torture.

"Here."

The two young eunuchs next to him bowed and responded.

After all, there are often punishments for servants in the palace, but I have never seen such cruel punishments.

King Zhou and Daji are probably at this level.

After Zheng Xiu ordered to stand up and leave, he stopped suddenly: "By the way, Mr. Chen, you should stay here and supervise their execution."

"Here."

Chen Lu only felt his scalp numb, which completely subverted his cognition. He began to regret in his heart. Maybe he shouldn't have come to such a dirty place as Chu Palace.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Cui fainted, and Liu Ming dull.

A sigh echoed above the hall.
