Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

"I know I was wrong, sir." Xiao Shen replied in a low voice, his palms were red and swollen quickly after being beaten.

The husband thought he was using a lot of force, but his strength was not strong at all, and he was dizzy with anger. The ruler hit the palm of his hand, and the sound sounded scary, but in fact it didn't hurt much.

But he still gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and pretended to be in severe pain, otherwise, when the husband was tired from beating, he would only be even more angry when he saw that he hadn't received the lesson he deserved.

Besides, the husband is not willing to really hurt him at all, and he will definitely feel sorry for him later.

Sure enough, after two more "pops", Shen Qingzhuo tightened his fingers, and the long ruler stopped on the palm of his hand, and it didn't fall down for a long time.

In the past few years, the number of times he has used the ruler can be counted on the fingers.

Firstly, Xiao Qi is well-behaved, obedient, and studious. The tasks he assigns are often overfulfilled ahead of time, and he doesn't need to hold a ruler to spur him behind.Secondly, his educational philosophy is that reasoning is better than corporal punishment, and any problems that can be solved verbally will never be solved by hands.

The last time he hit the young apprentice with his hand, it was because he was distracted by staring at his face while listening to the lecture, and he didn't know what to ask. At that time, he was holding a ruler in his hand, so he hit him twice lightly as a punishment.

It was the first time that he was so angry like today.

Shen Qingzhuo was short of breath, his slightly puffed chest heaved up and down, and asked coldly: "What's wrong?"

"The fault is..." Xiao Shen carefully raised his eyelashes, opened a pair of uneasy puppy eyes, and looked at the husband with red eyes, "The fault is that he should not be dizzy and beat the palace servant with a whip,"

"Right and wrong, there are clear rewards and punishments. As the master of Changle Palace, you do have the right to deal with the palace people." Shen Qingzhuo took a steady breath, trying to explain his reasoning clearly, "Your fault is not in punishing the palace people, but in using such vicious Cruel whipping tortured the palace people."

I have always been committed to cultivating my little apprentice into a generation of wise emperors, so I not only taught him to read and write, taught him the art of war, taught him the art of emperors, but also taught him to respect life and always have compassion for his people.

The road of the emperor, with millions of dead bodies and thousands of miles of blood flow, and those necessary intrigues and fights, no matter what means, he can bear it all.

Of the two masters and apprentices, it is enough for one of them to have blood on their hands.

But the scene just now made him have to think of the tyrant in the original world who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

So what's the point of what he's doing now?

"I was wrong... I really know I was wrong, sir." Xiao Shen still held up his red and swollen hands, and admitted his mistake with a slightly choked voice, "I will never let down the teacher's teaching..."

Next time he will definitely hide it well, and he will not let the husband find out if he dies.

Shen Qingzhuo looked down into those wet eyes, and the emotions surging in his heart were extremely complicated.

During the three years of being together day and night, he didn't believe that he would be mistaken, and that his hard teaching was useless.

Thinking of this, he slowed down his tone and asked, "What are you doing today?"

Xiao Shen lowered his eyelashes, and whispered back: "The little eunuch's mouth is not clean in private, I heard it."

"The mouth is not clean?" Shen Qingzhuo frowned, "What heinous thing did he say to make you beat him to death?"

"It's just..." Xiao Shen gritted his molars, unwilling to speak clearly, "It's just some dirty words, sir, I'd better not listen to them, so as not to stain my ears."

Shen Qingzhuo just wanted to say that it was just because of this matter, but a thought flashed in his mind, and he asked hesitantly: "Could it be...about me?"

Xiao Shen pursed his light-colored thin lips and remained silent.

If Mr. Today didn't come, he would not only beat the little eunuch to death with a barbed whip, but also pull out the tongue of the little eunuch, so that the man would become a ghost after death, and he would die in the eighteenth hell. I can't chew my tongue any more.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more." Shen Qingzhuo guessed wildly in his heart, and leaned limply on the door frame, "Sir, I believe that the palace man did something wrong, otherwise you wouldn't do it for no reason."

"Sir..." The boy kneeling on the ground raised his face again, his tone filled with indescribable grievances, "I was so mad today that I didn't realize what I was doing."

Shen Qingzhuo was unmoved, and changed the question again: "Who gave you that barbed whip?"

"Whip..." Xiao Shen was startled, and replied vaguely, "It's just... that came..."

"What? Say it louder." Shen Qingzhuo frowned dissatisfiedly, "Say it clearly."

Logically speaking, this kind of long whip with barbs is rare in the palace. It is usually a weapon of torture for the Imperial Army and Jin Yiwei, and there are only a few guards who are used to using whips.

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled easily, Xiao Shen had no choice but to reply with a correct attitude: "It was given to me by Zou Peng of Jin Yiwei."

"Zou Peng?" Shen Qingzhuo didn't expect to have something to do with Mr. Zou, "When did you meet? Why did he give you a whip?"

"It happened two days ago." Xiao Shen confessed [-] percent, "When I went to pay my respects to my father, I happened to meet him. On a whim, my father asked Mr. Zou to teach me some tricks."

Shen Qingzhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Master Zou showed his favor to you?"

"Anyway, he has done a good job on the surface, so I don't know what he thinks in his heart." Xiao Shen twitched the corner of his lips, "He showed his hands in front of me a few times, and finally gave me this long whip."

"You should have told me about this earlier." Shen Qingzhuo sighed lightly, "Do you know the intention of your father's actions?"

Xiao Shen shook his head honestly.

"In just a few months, Mister jumped two levels in a row, sitting on an equal footing with Master Zou of the Jinyiwei, and he still holds Beizhen Fusi in his hand. Who is not envious of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty?" Shen Qingzhuo's eyes darkened, and he analyzed slowly, " However, the Holy Majesty knows that you and I are not on good terms, but he asked Zou Peng to give you advice, what do you mean by your father?"

Xiao Shen suddenly realized: "Father does not allow Mr. to dominate."

"No accident, sir is in Jinyiwei, commanding colleagues is the end." Shen Qingzhuo raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingertips, "Your heart is unpredictable, which is why I have not reported the progress of the case for a long time."

He must obtain foolproof evidence to ensure that he can press the East Palace in one fell swoop, and there is absolutely no possibility of resurgence before he can act.

Otherwise, with the degree of suspicion of Emperor Guangxi, he would definitely suspect that he secretly colluded with the Queen Mother to frame the East Palace, just to bring down the Crown Prince.

Xiao Shen moved his knees, subconsciously asked: "Sir, what new progress has been made in the case of Pan Chong?"

"Weren't you there when Miss Yingluo from Zuixiangfang spoke last time?" Shen Qingzhuo glanced at him, "It's not difficult to get rid of the old secrets of the East Palace by following the vine."

Xiao Shen said "Oh", and asked with little confidence: "And... sir, how long am I going to kneel?"

When he interrupted him just now, Shen Qingzhuo almost forgot the reason for punishing the young apprentice for kneeling, and the depression in his chest dissipated a lot, and he ordered in a low voice: "Promise me, if you know your mistakes, you will correct them."

Xiao Shen nodded like a chicken pecking rice, his eyes full of sincere regret.

He will never call Mr. again, heartbroken to discover his true colors.

"Get up." Shen Qingzhuo stood up straight and sighed, "I hope you really know your mistake."

"It's more real than real gold——" Xiao Shen stood up while talking, but after kneeling for a long time, his knees became weak when he got up, and he staggered and threw himself on the husband.

Fortunately, Shen Qingzhuo leaned against the door frame and reluctantly caught the little apprentice.

"Sir..." The young man didn't let go of him as soon as he hugged him, and he rubbed back and forth in his arms coquettishly, "Sir, don't be sad, Xiaoqi will be obedient."

"You..." Shen Qingzhuo was hugged by him, and his heart softened again. He stroked the boy's bulging head, and threatened softly, "If you ask Mister to catch you again, Mister won't like you."

***

After the master and apprentice talked, Shen Qingzhuo ordered people to carry the little eunuch who was only half alive to be treated.

Afterwards, he summoned the eunuchs and maids of Changle Palace to speak together.

Since the incident happened for a reason and all the punishments were paid, he couldn't let the little apprentice be punished for nothing.

The palace people knelt in the hall together, trembling and not daring to breathe.

"Not only is it strictly forbidden to gossip behind the master's back, but the affairs of the Changle Palace stop within the Changle Palace. Everyone should keep their mouths shut when they leave the Changle Palace." , I heard a few words from Changle Palace outside, and no one present can escape punishment."

Under the leadership of the eunuch in charge, the palace people all fell to the ground and responded: "I understand."

"Just understand." Shen Qingzhuo waved his hand, "Let's all go down, what should we do?"

"Yes, my lord." The palace people retreated in an orderly manner.

Shen Qingzhuo turned around and sat on the chair, intending to rest for a while.

"Are you tired, sir?" Xiao Shen moved sideways to his side like a crab, "Would you like to stay for dinner, sir?"

Shen Qingzhuo gave him a sideways look, neither saying yes nor no.

"Sir, if you don't speak, I will treat you as your husband and agree." Xiao Shen ran out, "I'll go and see what delicious food is prepared in the dining room!"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled helplessly, and raised his hand to support his chin.

After dinner, it was getting late.

"I sleep on the floor, and I will never interfere with my husband's rest." The young man looked serious, and he almost swore to the sky, "Mr. is tired all day, don't walk back and forth, I will feel bad."

Unable to withstand the little apprentice's soft and hard arguments, Shen Qingzhuo finally agreed to stay overnight.

He came to Changle Palace today because he missed his little apprentice, although there was a big episode in the middle.

After taking off the blood-stained clothes, washing off the dust and fatigue all over his body, Shen Qingzhuo closed his eyes and lay down in the bathtub to take a nap.

In a daze, there was a sound of "crashing" water in my ears, as if someone had squeezed into the tub.

He was startled, and wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be stuck with glue, and he couldn't open them no matter what.

The scalding breath rushed towards the face, and then came the low-pitched laughter of a strange man: "Sir, let's take a mandarin duck bath together..."

gentlemen?Could it be Xiaoqi who came here?

Shen Qingzhuo was even more astonished, the man actually picked him up from the water and turned into a posture of straddling his legs.

He had never experienced such an experience before. He felt indescribably shocked, and wanted to stop or break free from the man's restraint, but he was hot and weak all over, and he couldn't exert any strength, so he could only let the man manipulate him... …

No, this is not Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi should be guarding the door at this moment, how could he allow a strange man to break into his bedroom?

The next moment, that big hot hand actually touched his...

"Get out!" With an angry shout, Shen Qingzhuo suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that he was lying in the bathtub and had a dream.

He breathed a sigh of relief thankfully, and didn't care to think about how strange the dream was, so he quickly got up and stepped out of the bathtub.

"Sir?" The young man guarding the hall door heard the noise, and immediately pushed the door open, just bumped into the cloaked gentleman behind the screen, and turned around quickly, "I seem to have heard sir's voice, what happened? "

Shen Qingzhuo closed his underwear, blushed slightly, and replied calmly: "It's nothing, you heard it wrong."

You can't say that you fell asleep in the shower and had an extremely weird and... shameful dream, right?

Xiao Shen felt relieved: "That's good."

After a while, he walked around the screen and said courteously, "Sir, sit down, can I give you a massage?"

Shen Qingzhuo recalled the last time he pinched his feet without a problem, nodded slightly, wrapped his wet hair with a white scarf, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Shen immediately knelt down at his feet, wrapped his warm palms around his straight and slender calves, and kneaded them with neither light nor heavy force.

"Does the palm still hurt?" Resisting the numbness from the calf, Shen Qingzhuo asked softly, "Do you blame Mr. for hitting you?"

"Don't complain!" The young man replied crisply, "Mr. is doing it for my own good, and I am willing to be punished."

Hearing this, Shen Qingzhuo couldn't help but have mixed feelings, such a well-behaved and lovely little apprentice, wouldn't he be able to find him again with a lantern?

Seeing the young apprentice's serious face, he took off the white scarf and spread it on the jade mat, spread out his hair and lay down, and concentrated on enjoying the unique service.

Drowsiness struck again, and in the haze, Shen Qingzhuo felt as if a hand was climbing up his calf.

"Xiaoqi, don't make trouble..." He muttered unhappily, thinking that the little apprentice was being mischievous again.

In the end, the man gave a deep smile, and asked close to his ear, "Don't make trouble, just...how about it?"

After saying that, the hand ruthlessly folded his legs against his chest.

Shen Qingzhuo's scalp was numb from the pain, he lifted his foot unceremoniously, and kicked hard at the bullying man.

"Ah!" With a scream, he opened his eyes again, and found that the little apprentice who was serious about beating his legs was being kicked on his back by him.

Shen Qingzhuo: "..."

The author has something to say:

Wolf cub: I haven't even kissed my husband's face. That dog man did evil, but I was the one who got kicked?It's not fair!

Mr.: Cough cough... accidentally injured...

By the way, the things in the dream are really forced to love, everything has a cause and effect, but this time the development of the timeline is different, don't worry, babies!
