Bai Ya was very angry. She understood that she had been deceived by an old dog. Qiongqi has no real role at all in this escape game. Its only role is to attract Bai Ya's attention.
¡¡
Jiang Qichen ran away and was not seen for a month. However, two people did not leave, one was Xiao Qing and the other was Yi Zhi. Bai Ya can understand that Yi Zhi came back and surrendered. Yi Zhi has his own value. It is common sense that he came back for Tongyuan. She didn't understand why this girl Xiaoqing came back.
"You came back? You're not afraid that I'll kill you."
"I know, if I die, I am also prepared to die in your hands." Xiaoqing said seriously.
Bai Ya thought for a while and changed her mind: "If you betray me in person, you will be spared the death penalty, but you will not be able to escape the punishment of living."
Xiaoqing knelt down and said nothing. Now that she could come back, she was ready to accept any punishment. Bai Ya looked at Xiao Qing's look and added: "If you tell Jiang Qichen's whereabouts, you will be exempted from punishment."
"Miss, there is no need to mention Jiang Shaoxia. I don't know where he went? In order to be afraid that I would tell him one day, I didn't ask when he left."
Bai Ya knew this would be the result. She waved her hand: "Tattoo, we will execute it today."
The servant next to me trembled with fear when she heard the word tattoo. Tattooing is carving words on the face. If a woman receives this punishment, her life will basically be ruined.
However, Xiaoqing was not nervous at all and smiled calmly: "Thank you Queen Mother for not killing me."
"Go down!"
¡¡
Xiaoqing was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and the criminal law of tattooing must be implemented by the Ministry of Punishment. However, as soon as Xiaoqing entered the Criminal Department, she was received by the one-eyed Li Qi.
"My lord, this woman is a prisoner who was ordered to be severely punished by the Queen Mother. She"
"What kind of criminals are being punished severely? You don't understand the Queen Mother's thoughts. Miss Xiaoqing betrayed the Queen Mother in public. What a crime it is. According to the criminal law, three tribes must be punished. However, such a crime is exempted. Don't you understand what the Queen Mother means? ?¡±
¡°You guys, look at me, I think you understand a little bit. They said in embarrassment: "Even if we understand what the Queen Mother means, we will still be punished by being tattooed."
"Did I say exemption from prison sentence?"
"Then what should I do?"
"You guys go down first, I have my own ideas. Let me have a cup of tea with Miss Xiaoqing first."
After the officials left, the one-eyed Li Qi actually made a cup of tea for Miss Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing drank silently and said seriously: "My lord, you can carry out the punishment. You're welcome."
"Of course I have to carry out the punishment, but after I found out it was a girl, I had an idea in my mind."
After saying that, Li Qi handed a jewelry box to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing opened it and saw several silver hairpins, plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. She asked Li Qi with a puzzled smile: "It was given to me. After I got the tattoo, I No one wants me anymore, so I¡¯m going to take me as my concubine.¡±
Li Qi laughed and said, "How can I have the luck to marry Miss Xiaoqing?"
"Then what does this mean?"
"Let you choose a pattern. I will use this shape in Miss Xiaoqing's tattoo punishment."
"Is this in compliance with the rules?"
"Why is it against the rules? The punishment of tattooing is to carve words on the face and color it with ink. It is obviously easy to see and harmless to the body, but it does make people lose their dignity. I heard that Miss Xiaoqing was punished, and I thought After thinking about it, I thought I could use these patterns.¡±
Xiaoqing thought for a while, wandering among the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and finally picked up the plum blossoms and said seriously: "A poet once wrote that without a bone-chilling cold, how can the plum blossoms smell so fragrant? I really like it. , just use plum blossoms.¡±
¡¡
During the tattooing process, Xiaoqing closed her eyes and endured the pain on her face. After a long time, the tattooing was over. Xiaoqing felt sad in her heart, but she had no regrets, because in this way, she could accompany Bai Ya again. . She can no longer distinguish between hatred and emotion. Her mood is very complicated now, but this should be the best choice. Li Qi seemed to feel Xiaoqing's emotions and handed over a bronze mirror. Xiaoqing looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it.
Li Qi tattooed a plum blossom on Xiaoqing¡¯s eyebrow. Instead of using ink, he used Taoist cinnabar. The plum blossom between the eyebrows not only did not damage Xiaoqing's appearance, but instead raised Xiaoqing's temperament to another level.
"how so?"
Li Qi said cheerfully: "I did it myself. This method should earn me a few taels of silver reward. But we are acquaintances, so forget the reward. In the future, when the girl becomes famous, don't forget me as an old friend."
"I am just a servant."
"Before, you were a maid, butThe Queen Mother has spared you for all kinds of serious crimes, which means that she can't do it without you, so you will never be a servant in the future. "
¡¡
Xiaoqing returned to the palace. Bai Ya looked at Xiaoqing and smiled thoughtfully: "I have never taken Li Qi seriously, but he is indeed a figure. Not only did he kill my captor Zui Yusheng also figured out my thoughts. I thought of many ways to help you avoid punishment, but it didn't work this time, so I chose to get a tattoo. Sure enough, Li Qi lived up to my expectations. You really look like you now. It¡¯s so gratifying.¡±
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"From today on, you are no longer my personal maid. I will give you the name of a talented person and remove you from the status of a servant."
"I want to stay with the Queen Mother forever."
"A talented person naturally has to live in the palace. There are many things for you to do. The most important thing is that you should study more and don't be incompetent."
"I see."
"Also, from today on, you can't call me Xiaoqing, you have to call me Cao Qing. When the servants see you in the future, they can no longer call you Miss Qing, but you have to call them Cao Cairen."
Xiaoqing didn¡¯t say much, she knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
"If you are willing, you can choose one of the other bloodlines of the Cao family to support you. As a talented person, don't lose someone to your natal family."
Xiaoqing¡¯s eyes were moist, but she didn¡¯t cry and bit her lip to endure it. Bai Ya looked at Xiao Qing's appearance and felt touched in her heart. Although the two seemed to have a deep hatred, in fact, Xiao Qing was Bai Ya's only sister who could tell the truth in so many years. Now that all the grudges have been settled, I feel more relieved.
"Now, can you tell me the whereabouts of Jiang Qichen?"
"I have no idea."
Faced with this answer, Bai Ya not only did not blame, but laughed loudly: "You are still the stubborn Xiaoqing, that's all, I won't ask about this matter. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and this is the first year that Xian'er ascends the throne. The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is indispensable, I have already given instructions for this matter, and you are fully responsible for it, so go ahead and get busy."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Bai Ya nodded. She was in a good mood today and she was very satisfied with Li Qi's arrangement. So, she asked someone to announce Li Qi's entry into the palace. Li Qi came, walked in humbly, and then prostrated himself on the ground to salute Bai Ya.
"Queen Mother, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Be calm, do you know why I called you here?"
Li Qi shook his head, and Bai Ya said with a smile: "I gave up the post of auxiliary government in the imperial edict, but let an old thief take advantage of the loophole. He is now bewitching the emperor and preparing to take back my rights. Do you have any idea?"
"I have an idea."
"To deal with Mr. Chuanshi."
"No!"
Li Qi shook his head and pointed to the sky, which of course was the little emperor.
"tell me the story."
"When people are young, they tend to listen to the words of people around them and use them to their advantage, and they will certainly be able to punish others."
"How do I know the people around him are guilty?"
"We can make a copper box and issue a decree. The informant can write the secret on a piece of paper and put it into the copper box. The Queen Mother can receive all the informants one by one. If this continues, the people around him will naturally be exposed. .¡±
Bai Ya thought this was a good idea. She looked at Li Qi and said, "Why didn't I see that you are a pillar of the country before?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
