The leaves fall without parallel

Chapter 145 Qingxia is punished

This time the madam refused to speak and just kept shaking her head.

"Sir, this is all I know. Please let me go."

The madam burst into tears again after she finished speaking.

Xiao Lingche only felt noisy

"You are so stubborn, take you away and treat you well."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

The madam was dragged away, and her cries echoed throughout the Ministry of Justice.

"She must be hiding something. Continue questioning her. If you have any information, please inform me immediately. I have something important to attend to and will leave first."

"Your Majesty, take care."

Looking at the prince's back as he walked away, Li Yu shook his head. It seemed that he would have to work overtime again tonight.

When he was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, he could still slack off occasionally. Now that he is the minister, he can only be on call at any time. In the past, when it was even more exaggerated, he ate and lived in the Ministry of Justice.

At that time, the prince was like a possessed man. He worked tirelessly every day in the Ministry of Justice to investigate cases and interrogate prisoners. He did everything by himself. He had to sigh that young people are in good health.

Later, the prince often left early, and left things to him, and laughed from time to time, just like what he did just now.

Based on his many years of experience, the prince must have a sweetheart recently. I heard that it is General Ye’s daughter.

On the one hand, he was happy for the prince, but on the other hand, he felt that it was not easy for him. He had been a minister for so long, and he felt that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

The former Minister of Rites and Minister of Revenue were directly dismissed by the emperor after they followed the prime minister and stopped attending court. Now, they really don't have to attend court anymore.

I heard that they wanted to talk to Lin Zhenhai, the current right prime minister, but were turned away.

How could Lin Zhenhai care about their affairs when he couldn't even protect himself? Unfortunately, it was too late for them to regret.

Because of this incident, the Right Prime Minister had to go to court. If he did not show up, his position as Right Prime Minister would be in jeopardy.

His daughter Lin Ruoyue is still imprisoned, which has made him a laughing stock in the capital. The right prime minister, who was once high and mighty, has become more restrained now, but he still has a sense of arrogance that makes people feel uncomfortable.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame his daughter for offending anyone else, but she had to offend the prince's sweetheart. Everyone in the capital knows that Lin Ruoyue likes the prince, but in the end she was sent to prison by the prince. I have to say that the prince is really powerful and has no pity at all.

Yefu

The family was having dinner, and Mrs. Ye looked up and saw the scar on Ye Qingge's forehead.

"Qingge, what's wrong with your forehead?"

Ye Qingge saw her grandmother staring at her, and she touched her forehead in panic. She had tried her best to cover it with her hair, but she still let her grandmother see it.

Now I can only deceive her.

"Grandma, I accidentally bumped into this when I woke up last night."

Madam Ye looked distressed

"Why are you so careless? Does it still hurt now? Qingxia, is this how you take care of the young lady?"

Mrs. Ye was always kind and gentle, but after a while, she was obviously angry.

Qingxia, who was waiting on the side, was so scared that she quickly knelt down

"Madam, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of the young lady. Please punish me."

"Go down and get twenty boards."

Madam Ye was intimidating without being angry, and she acted like the mistress of the house. If the servants in the house were all so lazy, it would be disastrous. Therefore, rules must be established.

Ye Qingge opened her lips slightly. It was the first time she saw her grandmother so angry. She should have thought of a new reason earlier. This had nothing to do with Qingxia at all. She had no choice but to quickly grab Madam Ye's hand and said

"Grandma, I'm not in pain anymore. Last night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I didn't ask Qingxia to help me. She didn't know about it. Please don't blame her. I beg you, Grandma. Qingxia takes good care of me. If you must punish me, I'll take the punishment for Qingxia."

Facing her granddaughter, Mrs. Ye's tone softened.

"Qingge, how can you be punished for a servant? She didn't serve you well, it's her fault. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. This is the rule of the Ye Mansion. Without rules, there will be no order."

Ye Qingge was anxious

"Grandma, this really has nothing to do with Qingxia. Daddy, brother, can you please ask Grandma for me?"

Ye Qing and Ye Shaobai naturally knew that this was nothing and had nothing to do with Qingxia, but the old lady was angry now and they had to let her calm down.

Ye Shaobai had no choice but to come out to smooth things over

"Grandma, these twenty strokes of the cane are indeed too harsh a punishment. Why not make her sweep the yard for three days? That would be a minor punishment."

"Yes, mother, Qingge has been kind-hearted since she was a child. She regards Qingxia as a sister, and the two have such a good relationship. If you punish her too harshly, Qingge will inevitably be sad."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Ye Qingge agreed with what her father said. She looked at them gratefully.

She was just a maid, but she didn't expect everyone to plead for her. If she was really punished, wouldn't Qingge resent her? Old Madam Ye's brows relaxed and her expression softened a little.

"Forget it, let's punish her as Shaobai said. You all pleaded for her. If I still punish her, it would make me look like an old woman with a vicious heart."

Seeing that her grandmother had relaxed, Ye Qingge said happily

"Thank you, grandma. You are the best grandma in the world. You are the one who truly has a kind heart."

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

The old lady was amused by Ye Qingge and smiled. After a while, she said

"A girl's appearance is the most important thing. What if she gets scarred?"

Mrs. Ye felt a pang of heartache. She loved her granddaughter the most and was afraid that she would get hurt.

Ye Shaobai said after hearing this

"I heard that the White Jade Cream in the palace has the effect of removing scars and regenerating skin. Qingge, why don't you just ask Prince Xuan for some?"

"This thing is only available in the imperial palace. It sounds quite expensive. I wonder if the prince has it?"

Ye Qingge thought that this white jade cream must be something used by the empress in the palace.

She can't afford it.

"No matter if he has you or not, as long as he has you in his heart, he will find you no matter what. Otherwise, what's the point of having him?"

Ye Shaobai stuffed some food into his mouth. He felt that his sister was too innocent and kind. He was really afraid that she would get hurt in the future.

"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."

After dinner, the family went back to rest. Ye Qingge hadn't rested since last night. After a tortuous day, she had to take a good bath and have a good sleep.

She was soaking in the tub comfortably. Qingxia had sprinkled flower petals all over it, and the whole house was filled with fragrance.

"Qingxia, I'm sorry, it's my fault that you got punished."

Ye Qingge leaned against the bucket and looked at Qingxia with guilt.

"Miss, please don't say that. If anything happens to you, Qingxia will be blamed. Fortunately, you are fine. As long as you are fine, Qingxia will do anything."

Qingxia said happily, "It's just cleaning the yard. It's the job of a servant. She didn't feel that the young lady was sorry for her."

"Qingxia, you are so nice"

"Miss, stop talking so much. You're tired after a day. Take a good bath and have a good sleep."

"Okay, then you can go down and rest. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Okay lady"

Qingxia retreated. She knew that the young lady didn't like to have someone waiting beside her while she was taking a bath.

After a while, Ye Qingge was probably too tired and fell asleep in the bathtub.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door.

When Ye Qingge woke up, she saw a tall figure at the door. It was not Qingxia at all. She spoke cautiously.

"who are you?"

The man whispered

"It's the King."
