The convoy rested on the edge of the grassland.
The attendants set up a temporary stove to cook lunch. Dozens of people were busy together, and soon they could smell the aroma of the food.
It is close to a natural lake, and there are several people standing on the edge of the lake.
Tinggu, the most senior person beside the queen, was being supported with a disheveled look on her face. Even though she was sick, she still had a majestic and aura about her.
She stared coldly at the four little palace maids in front of her, and said coldly: "Either you do it yourself, or I do it."
With tears in their eyes, the four little maids slowly raised their hands and began to slap themselves.
Snap, snap, snap.
The sound of the slap was clear and harsh.
"Don't think that just because you are with the queen, you think you are nothing." Tinggu sneered, "Remember clearly, Asab is the Asab of Prince Yali. The only people serving the queen are us, and you several--"
The smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes seemed to be looking at several dead people.
The next moment, she slowly ordered the people behind her, "Gag their mouths and push them down."
The four maids opened their eyes in horror.
This lake is a natural lake, many times deeper than the artificial lake in the palace. If you fall in, you will definitely die.
In the morning, they were still rejoicing that they were selected by the queen to become the first-class maids, but only half a day later, disaster struck.
All four of them looked pale and didn't know what to do.
The only palace maid who was more courageous said with a trembling voice: "If we die here, the queen will definitely know that it was Tinggu who did it, and the queen will definitely seek justice for us..."
"Tsk!" Tinggu sneered mercilessly, "Four despicable girls who have no place on the stage, are they worthy of the queen seeking justice for you? Besides, I am the confidant of Prince Yali, even if the queen knows that it is me So what, with Prince Yali protecting me, the queen doesn’t dare to do anything to me..."
"Is it?"
A cold and angry voice came.
The four little maids looked up and saw the queen and her entourage walking quickly towards this side. Their faces suddenly showed joy.
The queen has come, and they are saved and will not die.
Tinggu didn't expect that her words would be heard by the queen. Although she was telling the truth, she was indeed a bit treasonous.
She quickly knelt down and said, "The old slave was sick and came out to get some air. He met these four maids. They said that there was no place for the old slave by the queen's side anymore. They ridiculed and humiliated the old slave in all kinds of ways. The old slave couldn't hold it back for a moment. Then I started arguing with them... What the old slave said was just out of anger and a slip of the tongue, so please forgive me the queen!"
"That's not the case." The little maids also knelt down quickly, "The slaves are fetching water and have not provoked Aunt Ting. Aunt Ting will slap her..."
The queen raised her hand and made a silent gesture.
She could guess what was going on even without checking.
Tinggu has been serving her for more than ten years, and with Prince Yali as her backer, she can be said to be domineering in front of other servants. In the past, many little palace maids were tortured by Tinggu, but after she heard about it, she only treated her lightly. To punish her, she didn't dare to really ask Tinggu to get out of her palace... because she was afraid of causing the dissatisfaction of the county king.
Cheng Wanwan's words came to her mind. If she couldn't protect these four, no one would really stay by her side to serve her in the future.
The queen raised her eyes and spoke slowly: "You said you are from King Yali?"
Tinggu lowered her head: "What the old slave means is that the old slave is a servant of the royal family. Prince Yali is the king's sibling, so naturally he is also the master of the old slave."
"What you said is not unreasonable." The queen smiled softly, "King Yali's position in Assab is so extraordinary. He has a lot of troops and can intimidate the government. Not to mention, every time I see him, I will They’re all a little scared.”
A smile of determination appeared on Tinggu's face. Since she knew she was afraid, she should quickly tell these four maids to get out. Otherwise, when King Yali gets angry, even if the other party is the queen, he will not give him face...
When the four maids heard what the queen said, their hearts dropped.
Although they were serving at the bottom, they also knew clearly that King Yali had an extraordinary status in Assab, but they did not know that the queen was also afraid of the king.
Looking at it this way, aren't the four of them dead?
"Somebody come!"
The queen suddenly shouted loudly.
The guards behind her immediately stepped forward. These guards were also people she promoted from the bottom.
She coldly ordered: "I will punish you by drowning if you offend me or my empress, Tinggu. We will do it immediately."
Tinggu raised her head in disbelief: "Queen, old slave..."
"Do it!"
The queen interrupted her directly and gave a stern order.
She didn't want to hear anything more from Tinggu, she was afraid that she would be shaken.
Now that she has reached this point, she has no room to retreat. Whether it is for the prince or the princess, she must rush to the front.
The guards behind her stepped forward, held Tinggu's shoulders on the left and right, and dragged her towards the lake.
Tinggu was already ill and had no strength at all. She was easily dragged to the edge of the lake and her head was pressed down.
"Queen, spare your life!" Yu Gu, who was with her, quickly begged for mercy, "It's true that Tinggu offended the queen, and the crime is not worthy of death. Queen, please also ask the queen to spare Tinggu's life for the sake of Tinggu's hard work for many years... …”
The queen kicked her away: "If you say one more word, you two will drown together."
Yu Gu hurriedly shut her mouth. She couldn't believe that the queen, who had always been weak, suddenly killed them. Is she crazy?
Although she is still on the territory of Dayu Kingdom, she will return to Assab sooner or later. How is the queen going to explain to the king...
Tinggu was pushed into the water by two guards. After a while, she stopped struggling. Then, she was thrown directly into the lake by the guards. After a while, Tinggu's body slowly floated up.
The person who was full of momentum just now turned into a corpse in just a cup of tea.
The expressions of the seven people with Tinggu all changed.
They really didn't expect that Tinggu would die like this, because of four little palace ladies...
The queen did not expect that she would actually execute Tinggu.
She had long been accustomed to Tinggu's surveillance and tracking, as well as the threats of beatings from time to time... She fantasized about driving Tinggu away countless times in her mind, and never thought of killing this person, but in the end, this person died in her On hand.
She felt happy in her heart.
Her eyes fell on the remaining seven people: "If you want to survive, be honest."
She lowered her head and looked at the four little palace maids, "You four are also frightened. Go and rest in the carriage for a while. We will serve you again tomorrow."
By the time Cheng Wanwan found out about this, Tinggu's body had been buried.
Because of this incident, even the secret guard ministers who were following the king became more at ease, and it was peaceful for a while.
The convoy soon arrived at the northern border of Dayu Kingdom.
There are 100,000 soldiers in northern Xinjiang guarding the country, and 30,000 soldiers are sent to support the Assab battlefield. There are 70,000 soldiers left, and the camps are endless.
After staying in the palace in northern Xinjiang for a night, he left the country the next day and arrived at the Yuezhi clan.
The Yuezhi clan was originally a nomadic nation, but later it gradually turned into a small country, surrounded by several major countries. The reason why it was not destroyed was also the result of the power checks and balances of several countries.
After entering this country, the surrounding scenery did not change much, but the pedestrians on the road were shocking.
Basically, they are all old and weak women and children. Occasionally there are men who either have broken arms or are lame. The eyes of the common people are numb and painful, and they are like ants trying to survive...
"The Yuezhi clan has been at war for many years..." The queen sighed, "Every year during the harvest, a large amount of food is robbed by the Xirong Kingdom. In normal times, the Laji Kingdom uses various excuses to seize cattle, sheep and horses... here The men have all joined the army, but they are still unable to resist the attacks of these two countries, and the people are miserable..."
