To catch a thief, to catch a phoenix first

In the long years to come, she finally understood, what's the use of begging for nothing?It's just a futile struggle.The clothes were pulled by the public, and half of them fell off, but the slender silver needles still pierced into her thin shoulders, completely submerging into the flesh.

Needle sticks are more terrifying than beatings. The needles look like they haven’t been cleaned for many days, and other people’s blood remains on them. I don’t know how deep they will be stuck. Will they just penetrate the shoulder?Shi Yuanyuan was terrified, clutching her cuffs tightly, tears rushed out of her eyes, like pearls with a broken string, dripping to the ground, falling non-stop.

However, tears cannot be exchanged for half a minute of pity.Seeing her pitiful appearance, Mrs. Zhuang felt even more annoyed in her heart, pointing at her immediately, said angrily: "Slap me, slap hard! If you don't look like sparrows, watch your heads carefully! Give it all to me!" Palace, be careful!" Painted with human blood, resentment as a medium, leaving mottled scars on the beautiful butterfly bones, and blood flowing across the small body.

The hall was filled with a fishy and sweet smell. Shi Yuanyuan had been beaten a lot since she was a child, her bones were very hard, but she couldn't stand this kind of torture. Before a quarter of an hour had passed, she was already dying, and even the strength to shout was exhausted.As soon as Shi Xianyu stepped into the palace gate, he subconsciously frowned and covered his nose with his sleeve: "What is this woman, Mrs. Zhuang, doing?"

Since her passing away, her temperament became more and more indifferent, and she was not good at talking with others, but Zhuang always showed a gentle and respectful appearance in front of the late emperor, so the late emperor always let her go to the Yingyue Palace more often.No, Shi Xianyu just took a lecture from his master, and now he has to come to Zhuang's to deal with him, so as to appease his father's little thoughts.

The palace servants next to her heard her words, afraid of offending such a golden branch and jade leaf, they quickly moved to her side, nodded and bowed and said: "Please wait here for a while, Your Highness, the servant will go to find out what is going on in the Yingyue Palace. In case If something bumped into you and disturbed your interest, it would be the fault of a slave. I hope you agree." Jin Zhiyu Ye passed him expressionlessly and walked straight into the hall, completely ignoring his request.

Seeing that the master refused, the palace servant had no choice but to bite the bullet, followed behind her, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty the Seventh Prince has arrived—" Although she is a daughter, Shi Xianyu's status is second only to His Majesty, even with her. His elder brother, His Royal Highness Chu Jun, is on an equal footing.If you offend His Majesty, you may still be able to save half of your life, but if you offend His Highness the Seventh Highness, it is almost equivalent to offending the entire royal family, and you will definitely die.If she wants to visit someone's bedroom, she doesn't need other people's permission.

This imperial sister is one of the only two direct descendants of the royal family, and she must have looked down on her origin, so how could she help her?Thinking of this, the small cluster of flames remaining in Shi Yuanyuan's eyes also disappeared.Mrs. Zhuang half-closed her cold eyes, smiled suddenly, turned around and said, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is in such a good mood today, you came to Yingyue Hall as a guest early in the morning? Don't tell me, so that I can let you go." Get ready." Even so, she obviously didn't mean to entertain.

If the person who came was the Second Prince, then she would really have to welcome her, but the one who was born was the Seventh Princess, who was only a daughter, so what if she was favored?Naturally, she didn't bother to deal with things that couldn't be on the throne.Shi Xianyu brushed off the rain on the road when he came, and said calmly: "Just passing by." The neither humble nor overbearing attitude made Zhuang Shi really embarrassed, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Without waiting for her to greet her, Shi Xianyu looked down at the man curled up in a ball on the ground, and preemptively said: "This person, I want to bring back to the palace." He didn't say who it was, but Shi Yuanyuan could hear it clearly. pointing at her.She raised her head suddenly, and before she could hide the surprise on her face, she saw the petite figure of the man.

The little milk baby with delicate features is not much older than her, but she has a solemn expression and a serious face, adding a bit of chill in the scorching summer.She was wearing a black long gown, no makeup was applied, her waist-length hair was tied into a ponytail, she was not dressed like the daughter next to her, and she had a very cold and capable demeanor.

It was such a person that made Zhuang's eyes rarely show embarrassment and fear: "Your Highness, this is probably...not appropriate." Hearing this, the milk boy in Xuanyi raised his eyebrows, which was quite dangerous: "Yes What's wrong? You're saying that it's wrong for my heir, the heir of Dahong, to be stripped of his clothes and lynched by a low-class concubine like you?"

The palace servants beside him quickly took off their outer robes, stepped forward and put them on Shi Yuanyuan's body, gently lifting her up, bringing her a little warmth.At the same time, Shi Yuanyuan cast a grateful look, feeling surprised in her heart, no one in the palace dared to stop this move?Rumor has it that Seventh Sister is domineering, upright, and fearless of power. Even important court officials dare not reprimand her.It seems that what is said is true.

With a pretty face, Zhuang's hands tightly twisted her sleeves, and said in a hateful voice: "A concubine who is not popular? This palace is His Majesty's favorite, what does His Majesty the Seventh Highness mean?" favorite.Shi Xianyu raised his eyes and looked at the top of his head, and he didn't know who he thought of: "Really? There is a god when you raise your head three feet, and you can't talk nonsense about the words of the favorite in your heart."

Several palace people secretly screamed in their hearts that something was wrong, they hurriedly made a detour and retreated quietly, and walked outside the hall.Mrs. Zhuang had no time to take care of it, so she pointed at Shi Yuanyuan angrily, and scolded: "This bastard with dirty hands and feet, even dare to steal the phoenix hairpin that His Majesty personally rewarded. If we don't punish him, wouldn't it cause a catastrophe in the future?" Seeing that Shi Xianyu frowned slightly, Shi Yuanyuan panicked, stiffened her neck, hoarse voice, and argued loudly: "I... I didn't steal anything! I just, just wanted to see it."

There was no unexpected reprimand, Shi Xianyu looked calm, looked straight into her eyes, and asked aloud: "Fengchai? Do you like it?" The most indispensable things in her bedroom are gold, silver, jade and rare playthings, right? A phoenix hairpin, she can also play with the nine phoenix hairpins.

Seeing Shi Yuanyuan timidly shaking her head and nodding again, she understood instantly, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhuang, her voice was cold and childish, which shocked her heart: "Mr. Zhuang, do you know what to do?" I am a big law, hurting the emperor's heir is a capital offense? When it comes to punishment, the emperor has thought about it for himself, how can you point it out?"

Even though she was pretending to be calm, the pale expression revealed the fear in Zhuang's heart. She never expected that the lynching would happen to be broken by Shi Xianyu, and the other party dared to get to the bottom of it!Hugh talked to her again, Zhuang's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Catch her for Ben Gong!"

The people in the palace hesitated for a moment, and it was the nanny who beat Shi Yuanyuan just now who rushed forward, reaching out to catch Shi Xianyu, who smelled the blood on her body, frowned unobtrusively, and took a big step back sideways : "If your father finds out about this, you will be blessed." She practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her movements are extremely fast. Howling.

Zhuang's beautiful face became grim with anger, and seeing that no one dared to touch Shi Xianyu, the anger burned even more, he bit his silver teeth, pointed at her with his slender index finger: "Wuzhi Lizi, Do you still think that you can walk out of the Palace of Reflecting Moons alive? Give it to me! Hurry up!"

"His Majesty is here—"

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and safe!"

This incident alarmed the emperor, Shi Yuanyuan was completely relieved, no matter how unfavored she was, the emperor would not be able to sit idly by and let the emperor suffer under his nose.Unexpectedly, the tall and slender man who was over the age stepped into the hall quickly, without even looking at her, he just walked towards Shi Xianyu.

The warm and generous palm was slightly rough, and he rubbed it on Shi Xianyu's small head, only to hear his breathing disordered: "Shaoyang, is there any injury?" She never had that kind of temperature.Shi Xianyu, who seemed to be a little bird in front of the adults, shook his head, but did not salute, and only replied: "Father, Mrs. Zhuang wants to punish Xiao Jiu, saying that she is your favorite, and that I will not be able to get out alive." here."

Acting like a baby with no expression on his face, and speaking words full of grievances, he is extremely cute.The man felt a suffocation in his heart, and his whole heart melted like a melting iceberg.What followed was the wrath of the emperor. He glanced at the trembling Mrs. Zhuang who was kneeling on the ground, his dark eyes were emotionless, and his eyes were extremely cold: "I don't know, it turns out that Concubine Mei Xian will not release the orphan anymore." Is it in sight?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, regardless of the right or wrong of the matter, Shi Xianyu's few words made his face full of anger. In his eyes, Zhuang only felt that he was already a dead person, so he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, mixed with fear: "Your Majesty, please appease your majesty! This concubine has absolutely no intention of doing so!" Damn it, it happened to be the time when His Majesty came down to court!This Shi Xianyu came prepared, it really is unfathomable, the city is so deep at such a young age.

The more venomous her thoughts were, the more displeased the high-ranking emperor was. After his death, he was judged as a faint emperor by later generations. Stay in Wuhen Palace. But cover her unpleasant mouth tightly, so as not to dirty Shaoyang's ears." His smile was rather cruel, and he said it was a gift, rather than a punishment, and there was no one present. I don't know, Wuhen Palace is the cold palace of Empress Dahong. It has not been cleaned for many years, and it is haunted by ghosts many times. It is very desolate and terrifying.

This kind of ruthless punishment does not reveal his previous love for Zhuang's family. The man whom the concubine mother has loved all her life is just such a man.Shi Yuanyuan was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Zhuang, only to see that her mouth was covered by two guards, her eyes were wide open, full of horror, but because her mouth was tightly covered, she couldn't make a sound.Entering Wuhen Palace, this life can be regarded as over.

The little figure in Xuanyi stood still, seeing Zhuang's being pulled down quickly, Shi Xianyu suddenly took two steps back, brushed his clothes, and knelt down, kneeling in an extremely dignified and solemn posture: "My son is foolish, give me your father's help!" Sorry for the trouble. But, father, my son has something else to ask, and my son... wants to live with Xiaojiu."
