It was as if Xie Shu had done something to her.
"explain."
Chu Tongshang comforted Gu Suisui and glanced at Xie Shu.
"Explain what?" She was unmoved.
The only people who had come into contact with the scriptures along the way were her and Qiao'er, but she didn't do anything.
Who will do it?
Gu Suisui...she is really not simple.
If the queen thought that she had deliberately damaged the scriptures, she would be the one who was punished.
Gu Suisui just made a wrong calculation.
Queen Jiang's heart is like a bright mirror.
"This King is asking you to help Suisui win the Queen's favor, not asking you to shirk your responsibilities."
Chu Tongshang's eyes darkened, and he spoke clearly and oppressively.
Xie Shu lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembled, and wanted to explain again.
"Forget it, Ah Chang... I know that Sister Xie just felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she destroyed the Buddhist scriptures. After all, the position of princess should be hers. But..." She was very distressed, "Sister Xie, the Queen can punish me, but because of this But if you think that the Chu Palace is disrespectful, that’s not good.”
Xie Shu didn't look at her, just stared at Chu Tongshang.
She argued, "I don't, it's not good for me."
Chu Tongshang asked her back: "Don't you feel resentful because Mrs. Gu ordered someone to break your legs in prison?"
Xie Shu froze, with no expression on her face.
She opened her mouth, and the cold air rushed in, making her shiver.
so.
He knew that Mrs. Gu treated her like this, but her legs were no better than the scolding that Gu had received from the queen every year.
"Then you-" She moved her lips.
"Our lady treats you so well, how can you bear to do this to our lady! You are just a white-eyed wolf!"
Before she finished her sentence, Qiaoer on the other side could not hold back her anger and raised her hand to hit her!
Xie Shu's eyes were sharp and she caught Qiao'er's wrist in an instant.
The slap failed.
"Snapped!"
Xie Shu slapped him back, fast and hard!
This scene shocked everyone present.
"You dare to hit me?" Qiaoer was horrified.
Xie Shu held her wrist tightly, the smile on her face was very light and cold.
"You and I are both slaves, and we are still in the palace. Even if you want to discipline me, you are not allowed to do anything. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, we can go to the Queen to make the decision!" Xie Shu's voice was very serious. smooth.
Now that she has seen through who Gu Suisui is, she won't tolerate it anymore.
Chu Tongshang could polish her off, but why should Gu Suisui? !
Gu Suisui finally showed her fox tail, right?
I can't hold my breath anymore.
Qiaoer covered her face and said angrily: "Who doesn't know that the Queen is partial to you——"
"Snapped!"
Xie Shu's eyes became colder and harsher, and she slapped him again.
Qiaoer's cheeks were red and swollen, and she didn't even dare to cry out in pain. Her eyes were full of panic.
Xie Shu: "The Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and she is the mother of the world. She is the most just. You say that the Queen is partial to me? Then are you saying that the Queen does not distinguish between right and wrong?!"
Putting on such a big hat, let alone Qiaoer, even Gu Suisui was panicked, not to mention that he was still in the palace.
"Thank you sister, Qiao'er didn't mean that. I don't care about Buddhist scriptures." Gu Suisui looked weak.
"No matter what, Sister Xie shouldn't hit Qiaoer. She is my personal maid."
Gu Suisui lowered his eyes, his voice a little aggrieved.
Hitting Qiaoer would be hitting her, Princess Chu, in the face.
Xie Shu slowly bent her knees and knelt on the ground, "I beat her for her own good, to teach her to be careful in her words and deeds, so as not to bring trouble to the princess in the future."
Gu Suisui couldn't tell her apart, so he could only pull Chu Tongshang's sleeve.
"Ah Chang." She said pitifully.
There was silence everywhere, and Chu Tongshang's voice slowly sounded, "Since you know the rules so well, should you also be punished if you are not good at copying Buddhist scriptures?"
Xie Shu froze.
The Buddhist scriptures were given by Gu Suisui, who wanted the queen to punish her for the crime of disrespect.
But Chu Tongshang's attitude was very clear, and he believed it was her fault.
"Sui Sui, don't be sad." He chuckled, "Don't you like the water lily in Taiye Pond the most? I asked Xie Shu to pick one to make amends to you."
Then, he glanced at Xie Shu, who was kneeling upright.
"Still not going?"
Xie Shu didn't respond for a long time. The hands hanging on both sides of the skirt tightened little by little, almost buckling into her flesh.
The water in Taiye Pond is very deep, and people have drowned in the past. But he knew that her leg was seriously injured, but he wanted her to pick flowers in Taiye Pond in such a cold season!
Even if the legs are not injured, the cold will remain.
"A Chang, forget it. Sister Xie's left leg is injured."
The man answered directly: "Don't you still have another leg?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Shu, who had been looking down, finally stood up and plunged into the cold and biting Taiye pool.
The water in Taiye Pond was very deep, and there was silt underneath. Xie Shu was good at water, but she couldn't sustain her leg injury, so she moved very slowly.
She swam to the nearest lake, shivering from the cold, wanting to pick the nearest water lily.
Suddenly she couldn't exert any strength on her left leg. Xie Shu kicked her legs forward. Her thighs felt burning pain and she opened her mouth subconsciously.
"Ahem!"
The breath he took was broken. The cold and wet lake water rushed into his mouth and nose crazily, and his chest was in pain.
She couldn't break free from the thing on her ankle, and the suffocating pain made her struggle continuously.
Water splashed everywhere.
"Sister Xie, what's wrong with her? Doesn't she know water?" Gu Suisui was very nervous.
Chu Tongshang glanced coldly, with no emotion on his face.
Are you here to do the bitter meat trick again?
Xie Shu could hardly hold on any longer. Her eyesight turned black, her body continued to lose strength, and she sank to the bottom of the pool little by little.
Just when Xie Shu was about to pass out, someone jumped into the Taiye Pool.
The visitor seemed like a god, pushing away the dark clouds in front of her eyes, and gently, little by little, he held her in his arms.
that moment.
Xie Shu seemed to see him.
She murmured, grabbing his sleeve, her voice was crying and weak.
"Are you... coming... to pick me up?"
