The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 584: He is a friend, not a husband

After she finished speaking, she started to kowtow, bang bang bang again and again, with quite some effort, and soon her forehead was bleeding.

Many people felt pity when they saw this scene, especially some men who thought Xichun was a pretty girl, so delicate and lovable, and it was a bit heartbreaking to see her kowtow like this.

So they began to speak for Xichun: "Miss Fourth is magnanimous, please forgive her this time! This girl seems to really know that she is wrong, her head is bleeding, if she continues to do so, someone will die, Miss Fourth, please forgive her!"

"Yes! Killing someone is not right. We should give her a chance to correct her mistakes."

Zhuier was not happy, "Why? You just let her go as soon as you said you would? How can you be so magnanimous? A bunch of grown men just come to the feast, why bother with women's affairs? Do you know who she is? Do you know what she has done? Do you know why she is kneeling here and kowtows to my young lady? You don't know anything, but you beg for mercy just because she's pretty. Go back and ask your own wives if the maid who climbed into the bed can be forgiven."

Zhuier has always been a fierce girl. After following Ye Wenyan, she became more capable and more worldly-wise, and she became even more fierce. In her eyes, these high-ranking officials in the court were nothing. She could confront them whenever she wanted, without any fear.

But the ministers were not used to it! When they saw that they were being criticized by a maid, they immediately became furious. One of them slammed the table fiercely - "How dare you! Who are you to speak to me like this? Do you know what crime this is?"

Zhuier was not afraid of this and responded immediately: "What crime is there in love? How I speak is my own business. What kind of consequences my words may cause will be covered by my master. You don't need to worry about it. You should think carefully about whether there is anyone to cover your words. Don't say it and cause trouble. You won't regret it."

"You——" The official wanted to say that your master is nothing, what can she do for you? As a result, the person next to him quickly pulled him and whispered, "My master is the emperor and empress, sir, you are in trouble."

The official's face turned pale, and he looked at Ye Wenyan, who was also sitting with his legs crossed and looking at him. His eyes were as sharp as two knives, swishing towards him. For a moment, all the things that the Emperor did to vent his anger on his wife went through his mind, especially the scene at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, where he actually sent people to dig out the bones of the Qiuhu royal family and grind them to dust.

He was so scared that he slid off the chair and knelt on the ground. He looked at Ye Wenyan tremblingly and kept saying, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Empress Dowager!"

Some people couldn't help but laughed out loud, thinking that this gentleman was really funny. No one said anything but he was the talkative one, and he even dared to talk back to Miss Ye Si's maid. Hasn't he heard of the third-rank official in front of the prime minister?

Zhuier snorted heavily and rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything else. Instead, Quan Qingcheng waved at her and said, "Pei'er, come here and talk to me about your feelings. You must feel bad to be scolded for no reason, right?"

All the ministers present rubbed their foreheads, and the kneeling official was even more confused.

Miss Ye Si is not enough, the emperor actually supports this girl. Where does this girl come from?

He would have supported the emperor in the past, but he didn't even take a young emperor who didn't rule the country seriously. As long as the regent looked good to him, he didn't care about other people in the court.

But now it is different, the little emperor is going to be accepted as a disciple by the emperor, and a banquet for paying respect to the master is to be held, which means to announce it to the world. How can he still look down on others? Even the regent has to weigh his words and deeds in the future, and can't be like before. Zhuier didn't move, and didn't give Quan Qingcheng any face. Quan Qingcheng touched his nose and muttered: "Okay, I know your name is Zhuier, not Pei'er. You can't always be angry with me because of this name. I care about you, and I'm afraid that you will get sick from being angry."

Zhuier leaned forward towards him, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am not angry. As long as my young lady is here, no one in this world can make me angry." After saying that, she glanced around the man who was still kneeling, "Who said that killing people is not enough?"

Immediately, another person knelt down with him. He was the one who said that killing people is not enough. At that time, he did feel pity for Xichun, but now he realized that he had said the wrong thing and had meddled in other people's business. How could there be more when they haven't even drunk yet? Why did he interfere in the affairs of the Ye family? It had nothing to do with him, but now he had offended the Empress.

Zhuier snorted fiercely again, causing the two men's hearts to pound so hard that they were about to jump out of their throats.

Ye Wenyan sat and watched for a while, then said with a smile: "My two lords, you watch a chess game in silence! Don't you understand this rule?" The two said in unison: "We know we were wrong, we spoke nonsense." In front of the Emperor and Empress, they had to call themselves subjects.

Ye Wenyan ignored them and just looked at Xichun who was still kneeling, "I didn't ask you to be silent, just continue."

Xichun had a sad face and didn't know how to continue. He had said what he needed to say and kowtowed, so what else was there to say?

Seeing that she stopped talking, Ye Wenyan said, "What? Finished? Okay, I'll say a few words after you finish." She changed her posture, put down her crossed legs, and served tea. "You said you want to be my maid again, so I must make it clear to you. If you are a concubine in the second room, it is not convenient for me to touch you. But if you are a maid in my room, then I have the final say on life and death."

Xichun shuddered, and Ye Wenyan continued, "You were originally my family member, and you have been with me since you were a child. So many years have passed, and I have always treated you well. I thought I would find a good husband for you in the next two years, and give you a dowry so that you can marry off with honor. Who would have thought that you were an ambitious girl who looked down on my arrangement and found a way out for yourself. Since you hooked up with my second uncle and became his concubine, you should live and die with your man in the future. How come your man hasn't fallen yet, but you want to betray him again? You betrayed two masters in a row. Do you think a maid like you should be killed?"

The two kneeling adults only understood after hearing this. It turned out that this girl was originally serving the Fourth Miss Ye, and later climbed into the bed of the Second Master Ye in order to climb up the social ladder. Damn, are these lowly slaves so bored that they are begging for her? This is too worthless.

Zhuier gave them another blow at the right time: "See! What did I say? If you don't know the whole story, don't talk nonsense, and don't plead for this or make decisions for that. Now that the truth is out, how awkward is the atmosphere? Where can you put your faces?"

The two adults didn't dare to say another word. They lowered their heads and looked at the ground, refusing to confront Zhuier.

Quan Qingcheng laughed when he heard this, and praised Zhuier for his good retorts. He even asked Zhuier to practice more. If there are envoys from other countries coming to Beiqi to talk nonsense in the future, let Zhuier go on stage and retort them back to their hometown. Zhuier nodded, which was considered as accepting the task.

The ministers were stunned by this series of actions. Some people sighed that the emperor was really good at currying favor with Miss Ye Si, even currying favor with the maidservant beside her. Is this still the emperor? I have never heard of an emperor taking the initiative to show his favor to a maidservant.

Some people also said: "Why didn't he show his favor to the maids? Where do you think the emperors' favors for the palace maids came from in the past?"

Some even said: "She is the maid of the Empress, so you can't really regard her as a maid. I heard that this maid is the apprentice of Eunuch Lian of Yanhua Palace, and she has learned a lot of skills with Eunuch Lian."

"She is more than just Eunuch Lian's apprentice! Have you forgotten? During the New Year's Eve palace banquet, this maidservant was with the emperor. I saw that even Empress Dowager Yu welcomed her with a smile. Maybe when the emperor turns 18 and gets married, he will welcome this maidservant into the palace to be a master's wife. Well, the position of concubine is certain. After all, we have to give face to the emperor and empress."

Quan Qingcheng also heard people's discussion, but he didn't care. Zhuier was his good friend, and marrying her into the palace as a concubine would be an injustice to his good friend. He was destined to be an emperor who could not be single-minded, and there were destined to be many women in his harem. Some of those women might stay alone for their whole lives, while others might be active around him, but no matter which one, they could not avoid struggle.

He knew how fierce the fighting was in the harem of the previous emperor, so he would not let Zhuier suffer that. Zhuier deserved a good husband who was devoted to her, and as her good friend, he would try his best to help her find that good husband instead of marrying her himself.

Xichun was still kneeling on the ground, and Ye Wenyan's words made her back off.

Yes! If she returns to Ye Wenyan, life and death will be decided by Ye Wenyan, so should she go back?

Zhuier reminded her again at this time: "Actually... Aunt Chun! Even if you don't return to the Fourth Young Lady, the Fourth Young Lady will have the final say on life and death. Don't forget, our Fourth Young Lady is now the future Empress, and the whole world is under her control."

Xichun fell to the ground with a plop, his face pale, and he dared not speak again. Xiangdong saw this scene, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart. It was so nice to serve the young lady together in the past, but it was a pity that Xichun had to choose another way. Now, both ways are blocked, this may be fate!

Ye Jingsheng felt that Xichun had really embarrassed him. It was true that he came back to apologize today, but they had already discussed how to cooperate in the temple, and they had agreed to push all the responsibility onto the old lady, insisting that they didn't know about this and that they were also victims. Then he would bow his head and admit his fault to Ye Wenyan, and this matter might be over.

Who would have thought that Xichun would do such a thing and actually go back to Ye Wenyan. This was too shameful for him.

He glared at Xichun fiercely, thinking in his mind how to deal with this little bitch after the incident.

At this time, Ye Wushuang and Chang Xueqiao looked at each other, and then looked at Ye Hongzhuang together...
