Shen Dingzhu pursed her red lips with a hint of coldness and her eyes were dark: "You didn't get along with me in the house. With Aunt Zhang here, you stirred things up many times. This time, you even complained directly to Concubine Xian. Don’t you know how to repent?”
Xiao Langyan reached out and ruffled the broken hair around her ears. The black hair that had been splashed with potion still had a bitter taste.
His thin eyes were dark: "Why bother talking nonsense to her? How do you want to punish her? I will do whatever you want tonight."
After hearing this, Shen Dingzhu glanced at everyone in the courtyard, including Xu Shou. The servants carrying lanterns all lowered their heads and kept silent, not daring to express their anger.
Finally, Shen Dingzhu's cold gaze fell on Zheng Erlan.
"Such a disloyal and useless servant girl who only causes trouble should be whipped a hundred times and dragged through the streets."
Xiao Langyan smiled, his eyes shining darkly.
Seeing his reaction, Zheng Erlan suddenly felt sad, and shouted with panic and horror on her face: "Shen Dingzhu, you are a bitch, after you have committed a crime, why do you treat me like this?"
"My lord, please don't be deceived by her. This slave knows that she is not an economical lamp. It is a disaster if you keep her by your side! If the world knows that you are confused because of this woman, how will they think of you?"
Xiao Langyan's cold eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was still a mocking smile on his thin lips. In such a swaying cold night, it made people feel scared.
"What do others think? What does it have to do with me?" After saying that, he looked at Xu Shou and said, "Did you hear what Shen Tongfang said just now? You will do as you say and you will be severely punished."
Zheng Erlan finally begged for mercy in panic: "Your Majesty, you can't treat this slave like this. I have been with you since I was a child, and your mother is also loyal to you, Your Majesty!"
Shen Dingzhu pursed her lips and leaned gently in Xiao Langyan's arms: "She is right, Your Majesty."
Zheng Erlan was surprised for a moment, how could Shen Dingzhu change his mind and help her.
Unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu glanced at her, his eyes as cold as blades, and his red lips said mercilessly: "Zheng Erlan's arrogant behavior today is all because of Grandma Zhang's lax discipline and allowed her to do evil and domineering."
"Since Zheng Erlan has been punished, Grandma Zhang can't let it go either."
When Zheng Erlan heard this, her eyes were about to burst: "You bitch, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!"
Shen Dingzhu didn't look at her, only looked at Xiao Langyan with his moist eyes.
In the cold night of late autumn, the beauty leaned delicately in his arms, with a bright and pretty face carrying a hint of seductive pleading.
Xiao Langyan spoke slowly and hugged her waist: "You will make it difficult for me to deal with this. After all, Aunt Zhang is my wet nurse. It will not be good if she is severely punished."
Shen Dingzhu hugged his hand and shook it, with a coquettish tone: "Your Majesty~"
A chuckle rolled out of Xiao Langyan's throat, and he said: "Then I'll punish Grandma Zhang for her incompetent discipline and give her thirty hard blows to serve as a warning to others."
After he finished speaking, Zheng Erlan's eyes widened. She hurriedly wanted to kneel forward, but Xu Shou sent someone to hold her down.
"Your Majesty, please let my mother go, please!" She knelt down and saw blood.
However, Shen Dingzhu coughed slightly at this moment and pressed his fingertips between his eyebrows: "I have a headache."
Xiao Langyan hugged her and said, "I just knelt down outside Minghua Hall to have my menstruation. Go back to your room and rest."
The two of them entered the house together, and the door was closed tightly. At the same time, Zheng Erlan's eyes completely showed despair.
She screamed and begged, her scalp was bruised and bloody, but she could not get a word of forgiveness.
In the end, Xu Shou was afraid that she would disturb Shen Dingzhu, so he dragged her away from Xiyuan.
And inside the house, the two people who were still leaning on each other outside just now were separated from each other and sat very far apart.
Shen Dingzhu dipped a clean handkerchief in hot water and wiped the ends of her hair stuck by the concoction little by little.
Xiao Langyan sat at the table and looked at her with cold eyes. The indulgence on his face just now was completely gone.
"You are so vindictive that you want to punish even Grandma Zhang?"
Shen Dingzhu looked sideways at him with clear eyes: "Isn't this the result that the prince wants? You asked so many people to gather in the yard, you just want me to be a witch and use my hands to remove this pair of eyeliners .”
In the mere Prince Ning's Mansion, there are countless chess pieces planted by various forces.
The play just now will definitely reach the ears of interested people tomorrow morning.
It must be said that King Ning was so angry that he even punished the wet nurse who had served him since childhood.
Xiao Langyan's stern expression softened and turned into a sneer on his thin lips.
"You're not stupid, it's just that Grandma Zhang is Concubine Xian's, and I'm afraid she will completely hate you."
He stepped forward, took Shen Dingzhu's slender and white palm from behind, pulled the veil, and wiped the ends of her hair little by little.
Shen Dingzhu looked back, her eyebrows arched, her pretty face like a hibiscus blooming with the most beautiful smile.
"Then you will forgive Grandma Zhang's sins and not punish her?" She said with a joking look on her face.
"Impossible," Xiao Langyan's face was as cold as a gentleman, but his tone was completely aloof, "Both Aunt Zhang and Zheng Erlan must die."
After that, he took off Shen Dingzhu's hairpin and said, "You are my king's man. No one can take your life without my permission. You will stay in the house obediently these few days until this matter comes to an end." Settled.”
Is he afraid that Concubine Xian will attack her again?
Shen Dingzhu turned around, and following her movements, the bright candlelight on the table flickered, illuminating her white skin and dark eyes, making her extremely beautiful.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already thought of a countermeasure for myself. Early tomorrow morning, you will invite an imperial doctor to come into the house."
"What are you doing?" Xiao Langyan looked deeply, frowned slightly, and looked her up and down, "Are you sick?"
Shen Dingzhu shook his head: "Pretending to be sick."
The reason why she went to Concubine Xian's palace was not to accept her fate and wait for punishment.
But Shen Dingzhu remembered that at this time in the previous life, the queen had sent someone to bury a straw man outside Concubine Xian's Minghua Palace.
The prince's birthday and horoscope are affixed on it.
Later, the straw man was "unintentionally" dug out, and the officials sued and impeached him, and the emperor was furious.
Concubine Xian and her mother's family suffered a lot for a while, and Xiao Langyan was also involved.
The emperor was furious and conducted a thorough investigation. After two years, with Xiao Langyan's hard work and maneuvers, Concubine Xian was cleared.
But during that time, Xiao Langyan's hard-earned power was once again deprived of him.
Even Princess Boyue, born to Concubine Xian, had to marry far away and marry the Western Zhou Dynasty for this reason.
If Shen Dingzhu remembered correctly, at this moment, the straw man who framed her had been buried in Concubine Xian's yard.
She lightly opened her red lips: "So, knowing that I am sick, the inside and outside of Minghua Palace will be thoroughly cleaned, and the straw man can also be found. Concubine Xian is a smart person, she must know how to take advantage of it."
There was an invisible darkness in Xiao Langyan's thin eyes, like thick ink in the night, carrying danger.
Shen Dingzhu just told the truth, but he didn't say anything for a long time after hearing it.
Until he raised his eyebrows and stared at her inquiringly: "How on earth did you know this news?"
She has known the hidden secrets more than once and can make judgments and responses in advance.
Like an outsider observing the chess game, others seem to be in control, but she is the real one who manipulates the situation.
