thank you + extra

Hu Ao frowned.The two middle officials understood, and took out the sackcloth handkerchief from their sleeves, and covered her mouth.But at the end of the day, all the strength in the whole body was aroused.Gong'e struggled frantically, but she broke free.

Gong Hou will not forgive her, and the only one who can save her is His Majesty.

Gong'e's eyes widened and she rushed out of the palace, shouting as she ran, "Your Majesty likes me! If you dare to touch me, Your Majesty will kill you!"

This cry really made the palace servants who came up to arrest her have scruples.

"Idiot!" Hu Ao followed and said angrily, "If you let her shout again, you will really die!"

After hearing his words, the palace people didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and rushed forward.

After all, Gong'e couldn't resist the crowd, so Hu Ao ordered people to bring the torture tools, took her to the courtyard, and tortured her in front of everyone.

The lights in the courtyard were brightly lit, and the people who came and went from the palace had to look around curiously, and Hu Ao didn't order them to be driven away. Every time he slapped his stick, he asked, "Do you know what's wrong with this lowly slave?"

Gong'e was holding back at first, hoping that the emperor would pass by, and maybe she would show mercy and forgive her.She always felt that since His Majesty was a womanizer, she shouldn't turn a blind eye to her, even if she didn't mean to, there should always be mercy.

But she endured it five times, the pain on her spine seemed to take her life away, she couldn't help it, and on the sixth time, she struggled to make a sound: "You bitch..." She didn't have a word yet After finishing speaking, there was another heavy blow, Gong'e let out a miserable cry, and suddenly realized that she had no chance to admit her mistake.

Hu Ao raised his hand to signal the suspension.Gong'e was panting, her face was gray, her lips were bloodless, and she was sweating profusely.Hu Ao walked over, lifted her chin to look at her, and clicked his tongue: "She is really pretty, Guai Dao dares to think so."

Gong'e gasped, not daring to speak.

"You are the maidservant of His Majesty's close servant. If you want to stay in the palace, you only need to report and settle down yourself. Why do you need to go this way and send yourself into His Majesty's arms?" Hu Ao said again.

His voice is not small.Hear it everywhere.The palace people chatted one after another, each with different expressions.

Hu Ao swept around, and raised his voice slightly: "With twenty sticks, he was fined to be sent to Huanyifang as a slave.

All the palace people knelt down quickly, Nuonuo said: "Don't dare."

Hu Ao withdrew his hand and signaled to the left and right: "Go on."

After the punishment, Gong'e couldn't bear the pain and passed out.Hu Ao didn't bother to care about her, so Ling Xiangran gave her some wound medicine and sent her directly to Huanyi Fang.

When he returned to the hall, Xie Yi was looking out the window in a daze.

Hu Ao stepped forward cautiously, and said respectfully: "The punishment is over, and the criminal slaves have been taken to the clothes washing workshop."

Xie Yi nodded.

Hu Ao couldn't bear it. Marquis Gong saw His Majesty getting close to other people with his own eyes. He must have racked his brains and comforted him: "That sinful slave made his own way and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Don't be angry, you have warned this one. Come back, the people below will not dare to think again."

Early in the morning, he was worried about Gong Hou. His Majesty's temperament is not particularly bad, but he is also quite stubborn and domineering. The age difference between the two of them is too big. He served His Majesty first, and then served her. After watching all the way, he understood that Gong Hou took His Majesty very seriously.But there is no one who is not old, he has worried more than once, worrying that Gong Hou will end up in a miserable end.

Now, all her honor is tied to His Majesty, and even the power of the prime minister has been handed over.Once your Majesty abandons her, no one in this world can protect her.

The maidservants in the palace are all young and young, so Gonghou must be in a hurry to use Gong'e's affairs to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys.

Hu Ao was thinking of her wholeheartedly, so there was a look of worry on his face.

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have served her for more than ten years, why don't you trust her?"

Hu Ao secretly said, His Majesty treats him very fiercely, how dare he trust her.

"I asked you to warn the palace people just because of the rules in the palace, so that people's hearts would not fluctuate and the atmosphere would become a mess." Xie Yi explained.

Hu Ao was stunned, and thought distractedly, Gong Hou mentioned His Majesty to him, and he didn't call him Your Majesty, but only called "She", which was so sweet.

Liu Zao slept until the next day.When he woke up, he found that he was not in the bedroom, and he was still a little dazed. He sat up and looked around, only then did he remember what happened yesterday.In an instant, the memories of Cheng Huan's tossing and turning under Xie Xiang's body yesterday were all awakened.She lay back on the couch, covered her face with her hands, and was about to hide under the quilt, shy for a while, when she heard footsteps in the hall.

She turned her head when she heard the sound, spread her fingers apart, looked between her fingers, hummed and pretended to be very calm, not shy at all, and said, "Where did you go? I couldn't even see you when I woke up."

Xie Yi sat beside her, and instead of answering, asked, "I didn't drink the medicine yesterday, are you feeling better now?"

"Okay." Liu Zao replied, and rubbed against Xie Yi's leg with the top of his head on purpose.Xie Yi pinched her ears and said, "Don't be naughty."

The palace people brought the toilet things, and seeing His Majesty laughing with Gong Hou in messy clothes, they didn't dare to stay for a long time, put down the things in their hands, and all retreated.Xie Yi patted her on the shoulder and made her stand up.

Liu Zao reluctantly got up from the couch.

After a night of sleep, I feel much better, but I am very hungry.She washed and changed clothes.

Xie Yi chose light, soft but very warm clothes for her. Although they didn't look majestic, they were just right for her to wear when recuperating.The middle coat was in a mess, the belts were loose, Liu Zao lowered his head, untied the belts and tied them again.As soon as she untied it, a red mark on her chest was revealed, like a red plum blooming in the snow, it was extraordinarily delicate and conspicuous.

Liu Zao didn't care, when she pleased Xiang Xie, there was more than one red mark on Xie Xiang's body, but a secret joy spread in his heart.

Xie Yi, on the other hand, didn't dare to look any further, with just one glance, she abruptly turned her gaze away.

After eating some food, Liu Zao walked around the yard. She hadn't walked for more than half a month, and her legs and feet couldn't be controlled. She walked slowly and straightly, only then did she feel that she was more secure when she stepped on the ground.

Xie Yi was sitting on the porch looking at her, and made a cup of honey water for her, to drink when she was tired from walking.But someone from Nagato Palace came.The Empress Dowager sent someone, Xie Yi had to deal with it.

She didn't interrupt Liu Zao, and quietly went to the side hall. It turned out that the Empress Dowager wanted to live in Ganquan Palace for a few months, so she came to ask the emperor for permission.

Liu Zao walked around a few times, and when he looked back to find Xie Yi, he found that she had disappeared. It was a little strange, why there was no one in sight in a blink of an eye.Seeing that Hu Ao was still there, he ordered him to come forward and asked, "Where did Prime Minister Xie go?"

Everyone in the palace knows that the thank you in His Majesty's mouth does not correspond to an official position, but a kind of closeness.She has called Gong Hou that way since she came to the throne, but now that she has stepped down from the position, she can't change her mouth, and as time goes by, she won't change.When Hu Ao heard about her whereabouts, he replied respectfully: "The queen mother sent someone here, and the lord has gone to see you in the side hall."

Liu Zao frowned, and his tone was not very friendly: "Why don't you tell me."

Now that Hu Ao is not begging for life under her, he has grown bolder and is not afraid of her easily. He bowed politely and respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty has never ordered, and I obey your Majesty."

Liu Zao couldn't find fault with him, his face darkened, and then he thought it was good, since he was the one thanking Xiang, he should only listen to her.

Thinking about it, she relaxed her complexion a little, recalled what happened yesterday, looked around, and asked: "There is a maid who always serves by my side, the one who helped me to take a bath yesterday, where is it?"

Hu Ao's eyebrows twitched, and he lost his expression, looked at her face, and said after deliberation: "Your Majesty punished her with twenty sticks."

When Liu Zao heard this, he was displeased: "Only twenty sticks?"

Hu Ao squeezed out another sentence: "Punishment to Huanyifang."

Liu Zao was a little bit satisfied, but there was something especially lacking, he only cared that Xie Yi had already passed the punishment, so he didn't want to go against her wishes, so he said in a deep voice, "She's unlucky." Then he told Hu Ao, "You should be careful." People in the palace, with Prime Minister Xie and I, we can't tolerate people who try to deceive the superiors."

Hu Ao hurriedly said yes, thought for a while, and said: "The criminal slave shouted that His Majesty likes her, and many people in the palace heard it."

When Liu Zao heard this, he didn't dare to believe it: "Mr. Xie also knows?"

"Your Majesty heard it with your own ears."

Liu Zao was so angry that he didn't care about those around him, and said, "You will be fined another twenty sticks for accusing your lord of false accusations."

Without waiting for Hu Ao to answer, he walked away.After taking two steps, she realized that the honey water Xie Xiang had mixed for her hadn't been drunk yet, so she turned back, picked up the earcup on the low table, and drank it all in one gulp.

These palace people are honest and honest in front of her, why they dare to talk nonsense when they are in front of Prime Minister Xie, it must be that these bastards are confined in the forbidden area, they don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and they have never seen the methods of Prime Minister Xie.

Liu Zao endured his anger and went to the side hall, but met Ye Tingling on the way.Behind Ye Tingling were two small officials, both holding a tall pile of bamboo slips.When they met the emperor, the three of them hurriedly bowed and bowed: "I wish Your Majesty peace."

Liu Zao stopped, looked at the tall bamboo slips, and asked, "What is this?"
