Daiwangfu
As dawn broke, a group of people were called to the open space in front of the main courtyard. They arrived in a jumbled order. They saw all the soldiers on the field with sabers hanging on their waists and standing expressionless.
The early winter wind brought a slight chill to the face, making the group of people tremble. Most of the people who came this time had already guessed something. After all, they knew what they had done yesterday.
Even Zhao Ba, who danced the most happily, has been arrested. I heard screams, and then there was no sound. This is a very bad situation. If Zhao Ba is like this, what will happen to this group of people? ?
Thinking of this, everyone was silent and their hearts were beating fast. In a moment, Su Ziji came with Ye Taoist, Wen Xunpeng, Hui Dao and others.
Hundreds of people were already nervous. When they saw the person coming, they suddenly became silent. They just gathered their luggage together and said: "Greetings to the king, hello gentlemen!"
"Get up!" Su Ziji smiled sincerely and glanced at him: "The princess gave birth to a son and got a heir. I feel that you have worked hard, so I rewarded you with money, wine and food - don't you think it's too polite?"
Everyone looked at each other, and some people were bold and said: "The king has always treated us generously, and the monthly rewards are higher than those of other princes. We all feel that we can't afford it. How can anyone think that it is not enough?"
Su Ziji nodded, seemed to be very satisfied, and smiled: "You have done your best, everyone will see it, and you will be rewarded for your merits. You will never do anything that does not offset the merits, but only punishes but does not reward..."
Having said this, Su Ziji smiled sinisterly: "It's just your merits, I'll reward them, but what about your faults? How should I punish you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of people in the venue did not dare to take a breath, and some even trembled.
For a long time, no one spoke, and Su Ziji's viciousness subsided a little: "It seems that everyone has a conscience, and there is no excuse for sophistry, so I can be more lenient. I might as well tell you that I picked Zhao Baben from a slum house." Those who came back were hungry all day when they picked it up.”
"Seeing as his father once worked for the Prince's Mansion, he brought him back alone and gave him clothes, wine and meat. He didn't want to but was ungrateful and encouraged him to tell the truth for glory. How could he tolerate such a traitorous slave? He has already been beaten to death. .”
At this point, someone inside was sobbing slightly, but they didn't dare to make a sound.
"You must be aware of your sins. Considering that you have no obvious signs of sin and the kindness of your fathers, I will not only spare you the death penalty, but also the living sin - Steward, you will handle the following matters. , come and speak.”
"Yes!" The steward came out of the queue, bowed and watched Su Ziji leave, and then said loudly: "According to the king's order, you will all be sent to the shops in the city and the village outside the city for use."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion among hundreds of people.
Working as an errand in the Prince's Palace not only gives you face when you go out and makes people look high on you, but you can also get silver rewards from time to time, and the rewards even far exceed your salary.
And it is said that if you work for a long time, you can even work as a minor official.
And working as an errand in an outside shop or in a village is like a mud-legged job, which is like the heaven and earth in the mansion.
If given a choice, who would be happy to be sent out?
Thinking of this, some people's eyes moved wildly, ready to make a move. At this moment, Luo Jiang, a newly promoted female officer of Princess Ye Buhui, came out.
The housekeeper said coldly: "You are both male and female. The men will be assigned by me, and the women will be assigned by Miss Luo. Everyone should take their things and go. Don't waste time."
Because before coming, they were given time to pack their things and bring them over.
When the housekeeper made the announcement, without even asking them to go back and tidy up, someone came up directly and signaled them to set off immediately and get on the bullock cart to go to the store in the city or the village in the countryside.
"I want to see the princess, I want to see the princess!" A woman suddenly shouted and was about to rush out of the crowd.
"Presumptuous!" the butler shouted.
The woman yelled reluctantly: "I want to see the princess! Princess, have mercy, princess, have mercy!"
Following her words, others also "awakened" and cried one after another. The king may be hard-hearted, but the princess is not. Moreover, when the princess spoke, the king almost never refuted. If the princess could speak for herself, maybe she could be spared. This exile.
Luo Jiang stood, watching coldly, without any emotion. He just said to the soldiers and maidservants: "Why are you still standing there? Let them act arrogantly? If the princess and the prince are disturbed, not only will their punishment be doubled, but it will also be difficult for you. There is good fruit to eat, why don’t you take it out quickly?”
Especially those maids and servants, their voices were sharp. It was still just dawn. If they disturbed the princess and the prince, who could afford it?
As soon as they thought of this, the soldiers and servants, who were originally somewhat sympathetic, no longer hesitated and dragged the man who was kneeling and kowtowing directly out.
The screams could be heard far away. Finally, under the orders of the housekeeper, these people who were begging for mercy were gagged and sent out.
"A group of disloyal guys actually want to stay in the house and work!" The housekeeper sneered coldly and shook his head thinking about what happened that night.
Despite the miserable screams of these servants, maids, and women, these people were very wise in protecting themselves that night.
It’s okay for the servants to stay aside. Some of the maids and women who were not under investigation in the first place also had wandering thoughts and had disloyal intentions.
You really don't know until you meet her. Once you meet her, you realize that the palace, which usually looks like an iron bucket, is so fragile and vulnerable.

Across the window, Ye Buhui sat on the couch and watched with a very cold expression. Only when he turned around did his expression become gentle - the young prince was sleeping on the small bed, his mouth slightly open, and he was sleeping soundly.
Now that she has a child, she is even more maternally tender than before.
But this does not mean that she can be soft-hearted and forgive all those who are unfaithful.
Even though some of the people who had just begged for mercy cried out that their child was still young, and if she was driven to Zhuangzi, mother and child would be separated, Ye Buhui was not touched in his heart.
These people were unfaithful and harmed her husband and children. No matter how soft-hearted she was, she would not hold her husband back.
Just thinking about it, the begging for mercy was far away indistinct, and gradually fell into silence.
In a room in the main courtyard, Su Ziji raised his hand slightly and asked the maid to dress. In ancient times, especially for the powerful, it was normal to wear different clothes for different occasions and change them several times a day.
The two maids carefully put on their outer robes. When they heard the shouts outside gradually died down, their bodies trembled slightly for fear of making a mistake.
But the more this happened, the more problematic it became. When Su Ziji put his arm into his sleeve, a pain suddenly came from the back of his hand.
Su Ziji immediately hissed and pulled off his robe with a casual pull.
The two maids were stunned for a moment. When they saw King Dai pull out a silver needle from his robe, they immediately turned pale and knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
When the people around him saw this, they knelt on the ground, and they were all trembling with fear. They had just dealt with the people in the mansion, and then the prince was injured. This is no small matter!
"Who made this robe?" It can be seen that this robe is new. Generally speaking, the prince's robe will not be replaced after wearing it many times, and it will not be made by outsiders. It will be made by the sewing room in the mansion. Come and do it, Su Ziji frowned and looked at the needle, secretly exploring the wound.
There was silence in the venue, and a maid replied tremblingly: "It's Xiaoyu, Your Majesty, Xiaoyu in this outer robe was responsible for winding up the thread yesterday, it's none of our business!"
As he spoke, he was already crying.
