Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 445 Rescue in Time

Liu Zhenying's already pale face completely lost its color because of these words. Her already fragile arms were gradually weighed down by the copper basin, and once again they could not support her. Her hands softened and the copper basin fell straight down.

With a loud "bang", the copper basin fell heavily to the ground, and the icy cold water poured mercilessly on Liu Zhenying again, soaking her from head to toe.

Chen Jiaoyi's heart was already in a knot when she saw this. She banged her head heavily on the ground and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, please spare Yingzi. She won't say it again. She really won't say it again."

Princess Zhaoyang raised her eyes and glanced at her gently, chuckling, "Why, Miss Chen wants to be punished for her again? Your friendship really touches me. Bring her some water."

As soon as these words fell, Liu Zhenying's copper basin was moved in front of Chen Jiaoyi, and the palace maid holding the copper pot also appeared in front of her. This time, hot steam was coming out of the copper pot.

"Jiaojiao, don't be punished for me. It's all my fault. I offended a villain and implicated you." Liu Zhenying hurriedly snatched the copper basin back, held it steadily in her hand again, and glared at the person beside Princess Zhaoyang - Lu Jiayi - with resentment.

She continued in a sonorous and powerful voice: "If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext. Your Highness, I, Liu Zhenying, will never admit to something I didn't do."

"Sister Liu..." Upon hearing this, Yan Ke called out hurriedly to stop Liu Zhenying from continuing to contradict Princess Zhaoyang.

She had already stopped crying and could only stare at Princess Zhaoyang with pleading eyes, and advised with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, even if Sister Liu really did something wrong, you can tell Lord Liu to discipline her strictly so that she will learn her lesson and never make the same mistake again. How can you abuse her with private punishment here? If the censors find out, they will use this as an excuse to report you!"

Princess Zhaoyang was not moved at all when she heard this: "What an abuse of private punishment! After all, the girls of the royal family are all eloquent and eloquent, but unfortunately they are not very smart. They even forgot that I am your headmaster. It is my job to teach and correct the behavior of girls. It is my duty!"

After that, she cast a cold gaze at the three young ladies who were silent as a cicada, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Add water!"

Liu Zhenying's eyes widened instantly, and she stared at the slowly rising copper kettle with despair.

The two friends beside him did the same, leaning forward slightly, as if to push away the person who was about to be punished.

Princess Zhaoyang saw this and winked at the people on both sides. In an instant, the two people beside Liu Zhenying were ruthlessly pulled away.

Seeing her companions being forcibly dragged away, Liu Zhenying bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. She held the copper basin even more tightly and closed her eyes resignedly, like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Chen Jiaoyi and Yan Ke were struggling desperately, calling out anxiously. Seeing the steaming water about to pour out of the copper kettle, they closed their eyes in fear.

The next moment, a familiar sound of metal falling was heard in the hall, along with the woman's miserable scream of pain, and the hands holding the two men loosened.

"Eiko..."

"Sister Liu..."

The two little sisters heard the noise and opened their eyes anxiously. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned. The little friend who was originally being punished on the ground had disappeared without a trace, and the palace maid who was in charge of the punishment was covering her face tightly and wailing.

"..."

Faced with such a strange scene, the two looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Princess Zhaoyang who was sitting at the top.

Princess Zhaoyang had already stood up at this time, looking very strange.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: "It was actually the royal brother's shadow guard who rescued her. It seems that Liu Yang is really favored..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Zhaoyang cast her eyes on the two young ladies who were still standing there in a daze. Her eyes revealed a hint of impatience, and she waved her hand and unceremoniously ordered them to leave: "You two go back and copy the "Female Rules" ten times before handing it back to me!"

The two little sisters were kicked out before they could figure out the situation.

Chen Jiaoyi was the first to recover from her shock and whispered to Yan Ke, who was still dumbfounded, "Did you hear it just now? It was the shadow guard."

Yan Ke nodded solemnly, and said with regret: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have closed my eyes, otherwise I would have seen the scene of Sister Liu being rescued."

Then she approached Chen Jiaoyi mysteriously and asked softly, "Do you think this shadow guard was sent by the emperor? The emperor is so powerful, did he know that Sister Liu was punished?"

After these words were spoken, another little face popped up involuntarily in the minds of both of them, but they shook their heads and brushed away this ridiculous thought.

At the same time, Lu Jiayi was also repeating a name in her mind - Lin Yining. A sense of fear suddenly rose in the depths of her heart for no reason, and her body felt as cold as if it was soaked in cold water.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the rising moon outside, lost in her own confused thoughts.

Little Yining touched her itchy ears as if she was aware of something, then raised her head to look at the sky that had been stained with ink, and sang the lullaby passed down from her maternal ancestors: "It's getting dark, the beggars are coming to catch the baby, sell it to the wolves in the mountains, send it to the big insects, tear its bones and eat its meat, drink its blood and soup, the baby sees the moon and wants to go home..."

The emperor, who was playing chess with Liu Yang, suddenly trembled with his calm hands and called out softly, "Qing Jie'er, go play with Ah Zhu."

The little kid pouted and said, "Sister Qing wants to hear Sister Liu tell me some interesting stories."
