Kill with a stick?
Xiao Yu's ears rang. He couldn't believe his ears. What kind of mistake did this maid make? She must be beaten to death.
Grandma, it’s really an evil old society.
I saw the two servants standing aside stepping forward together at this time, one on the left and one on the right to lift the maid and drag her out.
The maid was so frightened that she was shaking all over, but she didn't say a word. She didn't seem to have recovered from the word "kill with a stick". Her thin body just let the two strong men attack her. The servant dragged him wantonly.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment. He was about to stand up to stop him, but at this moment he saw the appearance of the waitress clearly.
That is a beautiful face,
It was a familiar and beautiful face, which once again awakened the memory buried deep in his heart.
"Xueqing..."
Xiao Yu murmured,
He seemed to have returned to the past. At the entrance of the alley in front of his house, there was always the girl next door waiting for him to return from his busy work.
They were so similar, their clear water eyes and gentle temperament were exactly the same. If it weren't for the ancient clothes, Xiao Yu would have thought they were the same person.
But...in another world, that girl had passed away ten years ago.
Could it be that her soul also traveled through time and space and came to this world? Do you want to renew your relationship with yourself?
A feeling of "no" was tumbling in Xiao Yu's heart. His mind was a little confused and he opened his mouth to speak, but the choking in his throat made him unable to make a sound no matter what.
And the maid was about to be dragged out of the hall.
With a "Bang!" sound, Xiao Yu threw a jade pot to the ground, and it broke into countless pieces.
Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden sound, and all looked at their little master in unison.
At this time, Xiao Yu staggered up from the couch, enduring the numbness in his legs and feet.
He gasped for breath, and after a moment he spoke: "Let go...let go...her!"
Facing the doubtful looks of everyone, Xiao Yu knew that he had lost his composure. This "idiot" could no longer pretend at this moment, but when he saw the girl who looked almost the same as her, he didn't have so many worries anymore. .
The two servants holding the maids all looked at Manager Cui, and everyone else also looked at Manager Cui.
At this time, Manager Cui narrowed his eyes, cupped his hands and said: "Little Prince, the servants have made mistakes and should be punished. Little Prince is so rich and noble, he shouldn't..."
Xiao Yu interrupted before Cui Cui finished speaking: "Let me ask you, Cui Cui, what does it mean to kill with a stick?"
"Death with a stick? That's beating him to death with a stick!"
"Why would a woman who was having such a good life be beaten to death with a stick?"
Manager Cui frowned: "She is just a useless maid!"
After saying that, Manager Cui raised his hand again.
"Young prince, you don't know something. When the servants were assigned to the mansion, there were instructions from the palace that anyone who did not serve the young prince will be beaten to death! Today, when the mansion was opened, such a short-sighted man appeared. Your humble maid, it’s just a good time to kill her to establish your authority, let’s see who dares to neglect the young prince in the future.”
You are the one who is neglecting me! Xiao Yu was thinking this in his heart, but he said: "Actually, I don't blame her. It's just that I fell in love with her charming appearance the first time I saw her. I really couldn't bear to ask her to pour wine and food for me."
This statement was unexpected by everyone present. Even if he was a fool, he was at least a young prince. A young prince told them in front of many servants that he liked a maid, which surprised everyone for a moment.
Manager Cui was stunned for a moment, and all the servants in the room were stunned. Everyone didn't know what to do.
"Let me ask you, Manager Cui, does the Emperor say that anyone who displeases me will be killed with a cane?"
"That's right, the emperor asked the little people to serve the young prince carefully. Anyone who makes the young prince unhappy will be killed on the spot!"
"If you beat her to death, I will definitely be unhappy. Then wouldn't it mean that you would also beat her to death? Isn't that the truth?"
"this……"
Manager Cui pouted. He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with what he said. Suddenly, he was so excited that his body collapsed like a collapsed city wall and he knelt down.
"Spare your life! Little Prince! I have realized my mistake!" Cui Guangshi kowtowed like a bastard at this time, "I have no other intentions. I just want to protect my master and I have no intention of making the young prince angry. That’s what it means!”
Xiao Yu tried his best to calm down, and this matter must come to an end.
He sat down cross-legged with great effort, tore off a chicken leg and started chewing: "Manager Cui, I don't mean to punish you. I know you want to establish my authority, but it's not appropriate to see blood in the mansion today! Let this girl go! In my eyes, he has not made any big mistakes. Also, you have worked hard all day, so you should go down and rest!"
Seeing that Xiao Yu gave the steps, is there any reason not to go down?
After Manager Cui said yes again and again, he turned around and backed out of the door. Perhaps because the threshold was too high, he tripped and fell outside the house, and there was a burst of wailing.
Xiao Yu burst out laughing, and the unmashed chicken in his mouth spat out on the floor. He then waved his hand: "And...she stays, and the rest of you can go down!"
Everyone looked at each other, but they still retreated one after another.
For a while, the flower hall became quite quiet, and there was only a gentle sound of chewing in the air.
The maid gradually regained some of her energy from the previous shock. After walking through the gate of hell, she felt like she was in another world.
The little master who was called "idiot" behind his back had just saved him.
After surviving the disaster, she couldn't help but become bolder and wanted to raise her eyes to see what kind of person this little master was.
Just when she had this bold idea, the little master who had just been immersed in eating suddenly spoke.
"May I have your name?"
"Qingxue, slave... Qingxue."
"Qingxue..." It was obvious that the other party hesitated for a moment, "What two words are they?"
“Sunny days are sunny, snowflakes are snowing.”
"Qingxue...it's Qingxue...isn't it Xueqing?"
Qingxue hurriedly knelt down, not daring to raise her head: "My name is indeed Qingxue, I don't dare to deceive the young prince."
"Is that so?" The tone of the little master in front of me seemed a little disappointed, "Do you remember what happened in your last life, do you remember a person named Xiao Yu?"
At this time, Qingxue was completely confused by the little master in front of her, but she knew that the little master's name was Xiao Yu.
She could clearly hear the previous series of conversations between Xiao Yu and Manager Cui in order to save her. The young prince had a clear mind and could not let her associate him with a mentally disturbed "idiot".
And those few incomprehensible words that Xiao Yu asked her just now finally made her understand that there was indeed something wrong with this little prince's mind.
But she didn't hate him, and even had a vague fondness for him. This fondness was not just because he saved her. In short, it was an indescribable and strange feeling.
Just as Qingxue was thinking of this, the young prince's voice came to her ears again, and the voice became a little sad.
"Sorry, I won't embarrass you anymore, you remind me of someone..."
one person? Qingxue's heart beat wildly.
"I am overthinking it! Miss Qingxue, there is no one here, so you don't have to kneel like that. You can go and have a rest!"
Qingxue folded her hands, put her forehead to the ground, and bowed.
When she carefully raised her head again, she saw the other party looking at her with an indescribable look.
Her face suddenly felt as hot as fire, and she hurriedly lowered her head, but she heard his soft whisper in her ears:
"Ten years of life and death are blurred. I don't think about it, and I can't forget it. I am alone in a tomb thousands of miles away, and there is no place to talk about the desolation..."
And the murmured sentences seemed like poetry, but not poetry, but they rhymed very much, and seemed to be telling some heart-breaking story.
Could such words really come from the mouth of a foolish person? She couldn't help but have more curiosity and questions about him. What experiences did this ill-fated young prince have before that outsiders didn't know about?
She is a very measured person. She cannot ask questions. She can only keep her questions in her heart. She can only silently write down words and phrases that do not rhyme with her husband and keep thinking them in her mind. Aftertaste carefully.
"Miss Qingxue."
"Um……"
"Don't tell anyone else what I said tonight, okay?"
The voice sounded a little weak, and seemed to be vaguely disappointed.
"My slave understands."
Xue Qing folded her hands and bowed again.
At this time, the room returned to its previous quietness.
When she raised her head again, the little prince whom everyone called "silly" was no longer in the room, leaving only the cups and plates on the table in a mess.
"Even if we meet and we don't know each other, our face is covered with dust, and our temples are like frost... what are these..." Qingxue's face appeared rosy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing two beautiful dimples, "Under the sun... Is there such a fool?"
…
Xiao Yu left the courtyard where he was eating, and unknowingly came to the small lake in the backyard.
It was a late winter night, the night was dark and the wind was blowing coldly.
There was no scenery to speak of in the withered lotus pond under the moonlight. He walked along the stone path and stepped onto the promenade leading to the pavilion in the lake.
The cold night wind blew against his face, making him sober up from his previous restless mood. He rubbed his face, and he could faintly feel the presence of tears in the corners of his eyes.
This is like a joke played by God. They are almost identical. They passed away in one world, but stood in front of themselves in another world.
And their names are just in reverse order.
Is this an arrangement from God so that they can renew their relationship in a new era?
But she was so alienated and timid when facing him. How could she be the Xue Qing who was his childhood sweetheart?
Xiao Yu shook his head.
Yes, she is Qingxue, not Xueqing, she just looks similar. There are tens of millions of people with similar looks in the world.
He just pinned his longing for a deceased person on another girl with almost the same appearance...
Thinking of this, the waves in Xiao Yu's heart calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and watched the white mist gradually drift away under the night.
He couldn't help but think about whether it was worth being so reckless today?
There may be royal spies everywhere at the moment, the ghostly manager Cui, and those servants who are either overt or covert. He doesn't even know the origins of the girl Qingxue.
If these people are the spies of the supreme ruler of the empire in Jiankang Palace, could what happened here today bring him a fatal disaster?
Xiao Yu smiled bitterly. Could it be that he helped the girl just because she looked like Xue Qing? If it was someone else, could he just sit back and ignore her?
That's certainly not the case. Whose life doesn't matter?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu punched the pillar: "Don't think about it anymore! I've already died once, so what are you afraid of? At worst, I can rush to the Jinluan Palace and beat him up again."
