At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 130 General Garden, Little Maid

As for the prince, he is still sleeping in the open air thousands of miles away.

She wanted to run, but after a brief moment of calm, Qingyao forced herself to suppress the thought.

There is no way out.

In the end, there was no choice but to bite the bullet and come to this General Garden.

cold.

colder and colder.

She was about to fall, her body swayed, and her lips turned pale.

"What are you still standing outside for? Come in."

Just then, the man in white robe who was reading in the room raised his head, glanced at Qingyao, and spoke in a deep voice.

She staggered and almost tripped over the threshold, but luckily she held on to the door to steady herself.

"This servant greets the general."

Qingyao forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart, calmed herself down, bowed, and did not dare to look at Xiao Han.

"I would rather be outside in the cold wind than come in."

He chuckled: "Is this general going to eat you?"

"No."

Qingyao hurriedly shook her head and forced a smile: "I was afraid of disturbing the general's reading."

"come over."

Xiao Han's tone left no room for doubt.

Qingyao was frightened and took small steps reluctantly towards the man.

Every step she took was filled with fear and trepidation, as if the man was a ferocious beast.

And you are the food that will be eaten.

"Keep your head up."

Finally, she walked in front of Xiao Han, feeling the heat coming towards her, Qingyao's body felt a little warmer.

She raised her head, her eyes evasive, not daring to meet Xiao Han's gaze.

"Are you afraid of me?"

He had a playful expression.

"General, this is none of my business."

The understated tone made Qingyao's heart rise to her throat, and she hurriedly explained: "I am just a servant in the prince's courtyard. It's the prince who doesn't like you. You really have nothing to do with me."

"I don't know if you have ever instigated him to do this."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Great General, if you want to find someone, go find the prince, don't bother with a little servant like me."

She even curled up a little, holding the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.

"Why, are you afraid that I will cause you trouble?"

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

"Ah."

Qingyao whispered through her nose.

"How scared are you?"

He stretched out his fingers and lifted her chin. Their eyes met. Qingyao was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes.

I want to cry but I dare not.

In all these years, there had never been a moment when she missed the prince so much.

Although he usually bullies her, he will stand up for her when others bully her.

"Very scared."

She answered weakly.

"How scared are you?"

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth.

The palm fell, stroked her shoulder, and fell along her sleeve. Qingyao's delicate body trembled continuously.

A broad and powerful hand grasped her wrist, and with a slight force, a dagger slipped out of her sleeve and was caught by Xiao Han.

"It's quite exquisite."

He picked it up and looked at it carefully.

"give me back."

Not knowing where she got the courage from, Qingyao reached out and snatched the dagger from the man's hand.

next moment.

Her movements were frozen for a hundred years, and the cold blade was against his throat, just a millimeter away from penetrating the flesh.

The icy cold air from the dagger penetrated into her body, giving Qingyao goose bumps all over.

"Do you know what the crime of assassinating a second-rank official is?"

Xiao Han spoke with a cold tone.

"I do not have."

Qingyao said with a trembling voice, "You snatched it from me yourself. I didn't mean to kill you." He felt the strength in his body disappearing quickly. His legs became weak and trembled, and he could hardly stand.

Especially when she inadvertently met the man's eyes, she was in a trance, as if she saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in those eyes.

How many people did this man kill?

"If I say you have it, you have it."

Xiao Han retracted the dagger and said calmly.

"You're unreasonable."

After surviving the disaster, Qingyao looked pitiful and aggrieved: "It was the prince who offended you, not me. If you have the guts, go and find trouble with him. Why are you teasing a slave like me?"

"I refuse to be reasonable, what can you do to me?"

He nodded.

"Give me back the dagger."

Qingyao stretched out her hand to ask for it.

"You have thought clearly."

Xiao Han joked: "You have a dagger in your hand. Even if you try to kill me, you will have to exterminate all three of our clans."

"There is only one living person left in my family. If you want to punish the three clans, I'm afraid you will whip their corpse."

Qingyao answered weakly.

"Boring."

He curled his lips and threw the dagger in his hand on the table. Seeing this, Qingyao hurriedly put it away.

"From now on you will be my servant, so keep the dagger carefully."

Xiao Han sneered: "If others saw this, your three clans would probably be dug up and their graves would be pulled out and whipped."

Qingyao's eyes shrank unconsciously, and she dared not look at the man in white robe.

"Go shower and change."

He waved.

Although Qingyao was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey, so she could only do as she was told. She changed into her long skirt, sat at the head of the bed, and held the dagger tightly in her hand.

Only it can bring me a little sense of security.

The imagined scene did not happen. Xiao Han just asked her to stay at the bedside and not sleep.

"Hoohoo."

"Hoohoo."

The wind and snow were beating against the doors and windows. Qingyao was half asleep and lay on the bedside lamp shelf, feeling drowsy.

She clenched the dagger tightly in her hand. A gust of cold wind blew in, and she became much more sober.

She gritted her teeth as she stared at the man sleeping soundly on the bed, resisting the urge to poke holes all over his body with a dagger.

"abnormal."

She muttered softly, drank a cup of hot tea, and then fell asleep on the table.

"stand up."

Early the next morning, Xiao Han woke her up and asked her to clean the snow in the yard, and then do the laundry and cook.

After several days in a row, Qingyao looked haggard and lost a lot of weight.

He was tortured beyond recognition.

A servant in the prince's garden came to see her secretly, and soon the whole Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion knew about it.

Xiao Han, the great general of Pingxi, took out his anger on the servants in the prince's courtyard.

"Son of a bitch."

"not human."

"It's nothing to bully a weak woman like me."

"You have the guts to cause trouble for the prince."

backyard.

Qingyao was washing clothes with cold well water while cursing.

"I will definitely poke a thousand holes in your body from now on. Not even one less will make me feel better."

"Do not talk nonsense."

The servant in the yard came over and said coldly: "The general has ordered that if you don't finish washing, you are not allowed to eat."

In the past, all the slaves in the prince's garden were protected by someone, ate the best food, had the best things to do, and even had a higher status than the slaves in other courtyards.

Now that they have finally found the chance, these servants will naturally take out their anger on Qingyao.

"understood."

Looking at the ferocious maid, Qingyao nodded submissively.

The snow is still falling.

Dayueer came out of Tingchao Pavilion and returned to Jiangjun Garden.

"Sir, when are we going to set off back to Xiliang?"

she asked.
