Chapter 127 Ancient Rebirth Black Heart Lotus (4) (1/2)

The servant outside the door heard Lin Shiheng's voice and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in, "Prince."

"Throw this woman out, don't let her get in my way."

Lin Shiheng shook his hand and turned his head away, as if even looking at Grape would make his eyes dirty.

Mu Qingling looked at him, then at Grape kneeling on the ground, and his expression became a little confused for a moment.

Grape had not slept all night, and now she felt dizzy after hearing his heartless words, as if she had suddenly arrived in hell.

She saw the servants coming forward and grabbing her arms roughly to drag her out, and she was anxious in her heart, and she screamed and struggled: "Prince, don't you recognize me? I am Grape! Yesterday you told me in person that you would take me into your room!"

"Wait."

Lin Shiheng stopped the people, and seeing that they were not moving, he frowned and moved closer to look at Grape's face carefully.

After reading it, his frowning eyebrows twisted even more.

"You are Grape? How come you have become so ugly in just one night?"

Grape was happy at first, but then shocked. She touched her face hesitantly, as if she remembered something. She stood up and ran to the bronze mirror in Mu Qingling's room to look nervously.

She also knew that some medicines could make a woman's face covered with red spots, making her look ugly. When she saw that her appearance had not changed or been disfigured, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

With her appearance still there, Grape was more confident. She knelt down and tried to grab Lin Shiheng's clothes pitifully: "My Lord, I didn't sleep last night, maybe my eyes are a little swollen. Please let me rest for a night, and I will be the same as yesterday tomorrow."

"No way."

Lin Shiheng quickly dodged her hand that was trying to grab her clothes, and showed disgust on his face: "Look at your current appearance, squinting eyes, big and black nostrils, thin mouth as paper, and sallow complexion. Even the peasant women outside are a hundred times better than you."

It was the cruelest thing for a woman to be attacked for her appearance, especially in ancient times.

Mu Qingling watched Grape's tears fall down, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, full of grievances.

Her appearance was originally rather delicate, and with red eyes and slightly lowered head and tears, she looked not only beautiful, but also very protective. Even Mu Qingling, who hated her behavior in his heart, had to admit that Grape was indeed a beauty.

But the King of Linjiang, who was standing by the bed, seemed to not see this beauty at all, and kept muttering: "And your waist, it seems to be fatter than the bucket outside. Compared with your unsightly appearance, these clothes and jewelry are much more beautiful. It's a pity that such good things are worn on your head. Isn't it a waste!"

As he said, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and asked disapprovingly: "Princess, a maid should look like a maid. Look at the maid next to you, a maid who serves people, why is she dressed so magnificently."

Mu Qingling looked at Lin Shiheng almost sluggishly, and then covered his eyes with a look of "this woman hurt my eyes" on his face.

She paused, paused again, and paused again before reluctantly responding: "Your Highness, because you said yesterday that you wanted to take this girl into your room, she is still someone close to me, so I sent her clothes and jewelry."

"Wouldn't it be a waste if these things were on her? Hurry up, have someone take them back later."

How could you take back the things you gave to a girl...

Mu Qingling really couldn't understand why a dignified prince could have such a frugal idea, but he was the husband and she was the wife, so she naturally had to obey.

So she responded respectfully, and then glanced at Grape, who was sobbing with a look of shock on her face: "Then this girl... Will Your Highness still take her into your room?"

"Such an ugly girl, if she takes her into your room, will she sleep with me or will I sleep with her! Hurry up and get her out, I don't want to see her again!"

Grape, who was still crying while posing in the most beautiful posture, was stunned.

This is what it feels like to fall from heaven to hell.

She didn't care about crying in her most beautiful way at this moment, and she quickly knelt forward and stretched out her hand to grab Lin Shiheng.

"My Lord, have you forgotten what you said to me yesterday? I just didn't sleep well, and I will be back to normal tomorrow, my Lord!!"

Lin Shiheng's face was full of disgust and disgust, and he took several steps back, as if Grape's hand was poisonous and he would die if he touched it.

"Don't come over here! You look like this, and you still dare to ask me to take you as your concubine... Ugh... No, it's too disgusting. Someone, take her away and give her 20 lashes, and throw her to the outskirts of Beijing, no..."

King Linjiang, who was giving orders smoothly, seemed to think of something halfway through, stopped and turned around and looked at Mu Qingling hesitantly, "Since she is someone close to the princess, the princess will deal with her."

Mu Qingling, who had already made many concubines, responded blankly: "Yes."

"This girl is ugly, has a bad moral character, and is so dissolute that she wants to seduce me. I don't care where the princess wants to send her, but I don't want to see her in the palace again in the future."

nbsMu Qingling understood immediately: "Don't worry, my lord. I will send this girl back to the Marquis' Mansion and will never let her disturb your interest again."

Lin Shiheng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the servants who were holding down the crying Grape, and glared: "What are you doing? Drag her away and beat her!"

"Twenty boards!"

Grape screamed: "My lord!"

Prince Linjiang was frightened by the sudden rise of the woman's voice and trembled all over. He quickly covered his ears with his hands, "It's so noisy! Give her another thirty boards. After the beating, the princess will deal with it. Take her away quickly!"

"Yes!"

The servants dragged the person out obediently. Grape was grabbed by the hand and still begged for mercy: "My Lord, spare my life, my Lord. I know I was wrong, please..."

Lin Shiheng chased to the door and added: "Cover her mouth and beat her at the door of the yard. Let these servants see what will happen to an ugly person who tries to seduce me!"

"My Lord! I mumble..."

Grape, who challenged the princess yesterday because she wanted to be a concubine, was forced to lie on the bench and gagged and beaten with fifty boards.

At first she screamed, but later, when the blood soaked her clothes, she turned pale and lay obediently on the spot with cold sweat on her head, unable to even scream.

The servants still had to serve the master, so they were not called out to watch her being beaten, but the muffled sound of the board hitting the flesh was very clear in their ears.

The main courtyard had never been so quiet before. Whether it was the servants in the palace or the maids brought by Mu Qingling from the Marquis' Mansion, they were all more obedient and respectful than each other at this moment. They sat quietly doing their own things and dared not make a sound, for fear that they would be dragged out and beaten with a stick by the moody King Linjiang in the next second.

In the room, the instigator was feeding his own princess medicine with his own hands with a normal expression.

"I am going to the palace to visit my mother today. You are not fully recovered yet, so I will not take you with me. I will take you next time when you are well."

Mu Qingling was originally drinking the medicine obediently. Hearing this, he raised his eyes hesitantly, "Is this not in line with the rules?"

Even in normal families, the daughter-in-law has to pay respect to the mother-in-law, not to mention that this is a royal family. She has not paid respect to the queen mother except on the day of her wedding.

"It's okay. You're not feeling well and can't get out of bed. I'll just talk to my mother."

Seeing that the medicine was finished, Lin Shiheng seemed to have completed a task, and heaved a sigh of relief. He put the medicine bowl aside and clapped his hands, "I still have to ask my brother what kind of doctor he sent. He said he wanted to treat it this way, and then he said he wanted to treat it that way. He also said that he was better than the judge in the hospital."

He sneered, not avoiding the people serving in the room, "Princess, you don't know yet. Yesterday, Doctor Cui said that you need the flesh of your closest relatives as the medicine guide. Your unruly third sister volunteered. I'm very He admired her courage very much, so he drew his sword and planned to cut her flesh himself. But before he could cut, Doctor Cui jumped out from nowhere and said that it was a misdiagnosis, saying that there was no need for medicine and that he could just treat it directly. "

Mu Qingling paused while wiping his mouth with his handkerchief, "Your Highness, are you talking about Doctor Cui Mu?"

If I remember correctly, he was a cousin from the old lady's family. When he was a child, his family fell into poverty and he once lived in the mansion for some time. At that time, Mu Qingling met him once, and his love for Mu Qingrong was written directly on his face, but Mu Qingrong never liked to pay attention to him.

Later, when the old lady fell ill, he got older and moved out of the mansion. I heard that he later became a doctor and was praised by the emperor for his superb medical skills.

Now that Cui Mu misdiagnosed and Mu Qingrong was involved, it was really hard for Mu Qingling not to think too much.

"It's him, he's really good at talking but not doing things well."

Lin Shiheng sneered again, "I've never seen a doctor from the Imperial Hospital misdiagnose a disease in my life. What the hell is this? Today, I was smart and sent the prescription he gave to the judge. Guess what the judge said?"

"He said that the prescription is not for the deficiency Cui Mu said, but a detoxification prescription. Cui Mu didn't mention this to me."

Mu Qingling tightened his hand holding the handkerchief, "Detoxification?"

"Oh, yes, I'm I forgot to tell the princess that you are poisoned. The judge said that this poison must be taken for three consecutive days to take effect. It is not easy to take something orally. I think it must be someone who serves you. "

Linjiang Wang made a suggestion with great interest: "Why not push them all out and beat them with a stick? If they don't admit it, just keep beating them."

When he said this, the maids serving in the room all froze. Who would want to be beaten with a stick for no reason? And according to the prince's meaning, I am afraid that if the person who poisoned them doesn't admit it, they will continue to be beaten until they die.

Although the group of maids did not dare to speak or move, they all looked at Mu Qingling secretly, hoping that she would not agree.

Fortunately, although Mu Qingling looked a little ugly, she still forced a smile to Lin Shiheng: "They are all people who serve me. It is not good to beat them indiscriminately. Let me check it out before making a decision. "

"Well, if we can't find out, we can just beat them up and sell them. There are slaves everywhere, and it's not good to keep those who betray their masters around."

Lin Shiheng's attitude was so natural. He was the King of Linjiang. He grew up precious and was always spoiled by his brother, His Majesty. Naturally, he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't care about one or two servants.

Mu Qingling spontaneously speculated about his behavior in her heart, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared a lot.

She still believed in the girl who grew up with her. Mu Qingling already had a candidate in her heart who could drug her, and she was just waiting for a while to interrogate her.

So she responded very gently:

"Yes, I listen to the prince."

"Well, then I'll leave now."

Lin Shiheng stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and strode out.

His image has now been elevated to that of the King of Hell in the eyes of the servants. Seeing him walk out the door, the maids who dared not even breathe a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to move their stiff bodies, they suddenly saw the elegantly dressed King Linjiang turn around again.

He stared at a maid who was standing respectfully beside the curtain with her head bowed slightly.

"You are a pretty girl, but is she someone close to the princess? What's her name?"

Yesterday when he fell in love with Grape, the girl was standing outside the door and saw the whole process. Now, when she heard him say the same words as yesterday, her first reaction was not the joy of being favored by the prince, but the image of Grape being dragged out and beaten with fifty sticks flashed in her mind.

She knelt on the ground almost trembling, her head lowered tightly, not daring to raise it, "I am... I am Shuixiu."

"Shuixiu?"

Lin Shiheng nodded and repeated it, looking her up and down, with satisfaction on his face: "As expected, the name is as beautiful as the person, she looks so cute and lovely."

The girl trembled even more.

If she remembered correctly, the prince said the same thing to Grape yesterday.

If it weren't for Grape's previous experience, she would naturally be overjoyed to be favored by the prince.

But think about the fifty strokes of the cane...

The person above was still asking in confusion: "Why are you shaking? Are you cold?"

Shuixiu shivered timidly: "I'm not cold."

"It's a pity for such a beautiful woman to be a maid. Are you willing to serve me? I will grant you the position of concubine."

Lin Shiheng personally bent down and helped Shuixiu up, and said to her in a gentle voice: "Don't kneel. I feel distressed when I see a beauty like you kneeling on this cold ground. Come, raise your head and let me take a good look at your face."

The more tender and affectionate he was, the more Shuixiu could think of how he treated Grape yesterday.

Think about the common woman who was forcibly taken back and then driven out...

Although she looks good, she was not specially trained to be a concubine. The princess was kind and promised to release these maids who had families outside in two years and also offer dowries.

Compared to the fickle and unpredictable prince who can beat her at any time, it is more practical to get married and become a wife.

Shuixiu made up her mind and raised her head with a pale face, "Prince...Prince, I am just a second-class maid, I am afraid I don't have the blessing to serve you."

"No?"

Lin Shiheng's face changed instantly, and he let go of his hand and patted the dust on his body with disgust: "You said you didn't want to serve me earlier, you're wasting my time."

"Why don't you stand back quickly."

Shuixiu was as if she had been pardoned, and she lowered her head and retreated without daring to breathe.

And Lin Shiheng looked at her up and down with disgust, as if the person who looked so pitiful before was not him, and turned to complain to Mu Qingling who was watching everything quietly on the bed.

"Princess, look at the people around you."

"The ugly ones have to cling to me, and the pretty ones are unwilling to serve me."

As the mistress, Mu Qingling skillfully and quickly took all the blame on herself: "Your Majesty is right. When my illness gets better, I will select some beauties to serve you."

She has very low requirements now. As long as they don't force women to be taken away, or force them illegally, she can accept even the skinny horses in Yangzhou.

"Forget it, I still like to dig myself."

Lin Shiheng shook his head regretfully, "But your room should be tidied up."

"Look at the maids around you. Except for the water snake that I just saw, the others are too ugly, and that grape is really more abnormal than the other."

Mu Qingling blinked blankly, looked around at the maids in her room, the worst of whom was pretty, and hesitated for a few seconds: "Your Majesty is right."

Lin Shiheng was satisfied and shook his sleeves and went out, sighing as he went out.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this king is really too stimulated today."

"Outside, have you finished beating me? Give me ten more strokes!"
