YOU

CHAPTER 401 - EVIL WOMAN

Ann Rushuang's expression turned cold, and a faint beam of light shot out from her hand.

The man went behind Meng Lee and tried to stab his dagger into Meng Lee's back, but he felt weak all over. Sweat continued to flow from his body.

With his strength, he was no longer able to hold onto the dagger in his hand. The dagger closed in on Meng Lee's back, and with a clang sound, it fell to the ground!

Meng Lee turned around and saw the man lying on the ground, trying to leave with great difficulty, but even after using all his strength, he only managed to move an inch.

The sweat on his body stained his clothes, making him look extremely pitiful.

Meng Lee frowned as he looked at the dagger on the ground. He bent down and pulled the man up, and then kept the dagger into his waist.

Zhao Qiang! Come here for a moment.

Ann Rushuang called the villagers here. She was treating the patients here, and never charged anyone for medical fees, so everyone was truly grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhao Qiang hurriedly ran over and wiped the sweat off his face with his clothes. He revealed a simple and honest smile and asked, Divine Doctor An, is there something that you need from me?

Ann Rushuang smiled and nodded, then pointed to the weak looking man on Meng Lee's body and asked: When we came here, we saw him lying on the ground, it should be hot weather, do you recognize who he is?

That man was originally tall and sturdy when he was carried by Meng Lee. Now that he stood together with Meng Lee, he looked like a pitiful and weak little chick that was about to be slaughtered.

Zhao Qiang looked at the man from head to toe and shook his head after a long while, I've never seen him before! Or maybe new.

Oh?

Ann Rushuang's eyes flashed, and asked again: Right now, are there a lot of new escapees from Northern Wang Mountain?

Zhao Qiang quickly shook his head and said, All of you are running towards the south now. Who would come to the north? Those are just some old people who can't run anymore. They can't bear to leave but wait for their families to die here.

After saying that, he continued, But … Recently, due to the Divine Doctor of Peace, there have been a lot of people living in our mountain. However, they are all sick, and those who came for you, the Divine Doctor of Peace, are also living nearby. How about I call all of them out and let them recognize you?"

Ann Rushuang blinked her eyes at Meng Lee, causing him to nod her head and the two of them to remain silent.

Ann Rushuang laughed: Then I'll be troubling you.

Zhao Qiang chuckled and waved his hand. What do you mean 'trouble is not trouble'. Our lives were saved by the Godly Doctor An Jing. Please sit under the tree for a while. Everyone will be here soon!

With that said, he hurriedly entered a group of houses.

Even though it was called a house, it was actually even simpler than a grass shack. It was just a few pieces of wood built to block the blazing sun.

Zhao Qiang arrived at the place and spoke a few words, then quickly brought everyone to Ann Rushuang.

The man was still weak and could not speak. His mouth was so wide open while his eyes rolled back in their sockets. However, not a single word came out from his mouth.

Everyone looked at the man again and again as if they were watching a circus. In the end, they all shook their heads.

As Ann Rushuang looked at the crowd, he couldn't tell if it was due to disappointment or relief.

She held onto her stomach and slowly stood up, revealing a gentle smile to the crowd, loudly saying: Villagers, in the future, if there is anyone else who will come alone, you must definitely take a good look, I think that this person has the signs of an epidemic, it is very dangerous, I will bring them back to take care of them, if there is anyone new here, you must send someone to inform me first, I have prepared all the medicines.

Everyone looked at each other as they heard the word 'epidemic'.

One of them shouted, Lady Godly Doctor, could we also be infected by an epidemic disease?!

This was exactly what the crowd wanted to ask. With a single word, the crowd immediately echoed his words.

Ann Rushuang laughed, and shook his head: Don't worry, I will check your veins in the past, it is fine, today I will send people to spread the medicine, you all must drink a bowl of medicinal soup to prevent contamination, it is alright.

Everyone nodded their heads: Yes, yes, we will definitely listen to Godly Doctor!

There were also people who complained, Why is this person so vicious? He got sick and wants to harm us!

For someone with such ill intentions, I might as well burn him!

Right, burn him!

Everyone added, Madam Godly Doctor, anyway, he already has an epidemic disease, so don't get infected by the Godly Doctor again! Burn him! Burn him!

Ann Rushuang did not stop them from shouting, she only looked at the person being carried by Meng Lee, who was drenched in sweat like a chicken.

Hmph, if she wanted to assassinate him, she wouldn't let him off so easily!

He was going to kill him, but it would be too easy for him to do so now that he had burned it.

Thinking about that, Ann Rushuang waved her hand at the rest of them, "Everyone, do not worry, I am a doctor, I should go about my duty of saving the dying and helping the injured.

Even if he was saved and allowed to be killed by the Ghost General, it would not be a violation of the medical teachings.

Under the endless thanks of the crowd, Ann Rushuang left the red jade here and went back with Meng Lee to interrogate this person.

The assassin let out a sigh of relief when he left the room.

If this woman really handed him over to these fools, he would probably become a speck of dust by now.

After returning to the residence, Meng Lee carried the man and directly entered the torture chamber. Ann Rushuang also slowly followed behind and sat on the Wooden Pellet at the side, treating him as if he was a spectator.

My wife, can you let him speak now?

Ann Rushuang nodded her head: He can speak, but I think she was scared just now. In my life, she has seen assassins, but I have never seen an assassin like him, it is truly an eye-opener.

The assassin's face turned into the color of pig liver. He was humiliated until he found his tongue and said fiercely: Pah! What do you know! Foolish woman! If you want to kill me, kill me!

Meng Lee coldly snorted and went straight to the point. Who sent you?

The assassin sneered, showing his white teeth, and said in a cold voice: Sky Emperor, your father, Hades, wants your life!

Meng Lee and Ann Rushuang looked at each other and thought in their hearts, it seems like this guy won't say anything.

Ann Rushuang tilted her head, looked at the killer, and said: Since he doesn't want to say it, then why don't we...

Even if you kill me, I won't say it!

Hmm … Assassin's standard phrase.

Ann Rushuang looked at him and laughed: Alright then! There's a master coming to the kitchen these days, and he's really good at chopping meat. A small fish can cut nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces, and such a strong person would be even more fun. Maybe you'll still be alive after chopping thousands of pieces …"

The killer's face turned even more ashen. As Ann Rushuang was speaking, she heard the sound of water dripping onto the ground.

The source was the assassin's wet crotch.

His legs trembled as he looked at the smiling devil in front of him with a trembling voice.

I... Cast …"

CHAPTER 402 - TEN-SIDED AMBUSH

But even so, Meng Lee asked again, who sent him here?

While he was speaking, his legs were trembling. He only said, Yes, it was Master who sent me …

Master?

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing who the owner was.

Ann Rushuang then asked: Who is your master?

The killer shook his head like a rattle and said, I don't know... We've never met before. He directly accepted missions.

Is that for real?

Ann Rushuang took out a small knife from nowhere and weighed it in her hand.

Yes, it's true. Grandaunt, please give me a quick death!

Ann Rushuang frowned, she felt that it was boring, so she bid her farewells and walked out of the torture chamber. Although the place was gloomy, there was a reek of blood, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Her appetite was churning now.

Not long after, Meng Lee left the place, found Ann Rushuang, and sat down beside her, enjoying the ice plate.

Ann Rushuang suddenly asked him: Do you have anyone you suspect?

Meng Lee chuckled, raised his eyes and looked at her, then said slowly: There are too many people who want to kill me, I don't suspect anything.

Ann Rushuang nodded in agreement. She was wondering who had the motivation to kill Meng Lee.

To think about it, it was impossible, and he had to be straightforward about the grudges. For Meng Lee to massacre a clan with Barbarian, it was only natural that he would be hated by the clan with Barbarian.

There was also that Fake General. Although he did not know who he was, he had escaped, and at this moment, he was nowhere to be found. He was most likely feeling envious and jealous of Meng Lee.

Furthermore, with his current Shengdu, Zhu Han would not let this person wield military power for too long.

Thinking about it this way, Meng Lee was dead.

With so many people eyeing this God of Slaughter like a tiger, ambushing him with ten times a day, Zhen Zhen'er was truly exhausted.

Ann Rushuang let out a long sigh, looked at Meng Lee wistfully, and said: I think it's best if you don't go out in the future.

Meng Lee scoffed, I am a dignified general, how could I be scared by these petty criminals? What's more …"

He licked his face and went over to Ann Rushuang's side, put his hand on Ann Rushuang's shoulder and chuckled: Besides, don't I still have a wife?

Ann Rushuang shifted to the side, she was so angry that she almost flipped over. She pointed at the center of his brows, then placed her hands on her waist, making a teapot like sound.

I always rely on my wife's husband, but you just want to take advantage of me everyday!

Meng Lee innocently raised his eyes and looked at her. His expression did not change, but he started to laugh out loud.

Alright, alright, alright. I'll let you take advantage of me this time. How about it?

Ann Rushuang looked at him with a guarded look, and snorted: Who wants to take advantage of you!

Meng Lee didn't reply, he only counted with his fingers as he calculated something. After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at Ann Rushuang.

If I remember correctly, this lady has already saved me three times, right?

So what?

Ann Rushuang took another cautious step back, but Meng Lee actually picked up an ice fruit and directly threw it into his mouth, feeling very satisfied.

My father often taught me that if I am scolded, I must repay the debt of gratitude. However, I am unable to repay for saving my life. Thus, I can only beg my lady for permission to repay this debt.

With that said, he stood opposite to Ann Rushuang and slowly bent down.

However, when he got up, there was no one in front of him. He looked at the empty house and smiled.

Ann Rushuang had scolded her more than once. She had already become a baby, what was there to be shy about?

Even if he didn't agree, there was no need to run … But these two legs, she just didn't listen to him!

She sat in the pavilion in the backyard, wanting to ruthlessly beat up her legs, but she helplessly discovered that her current body was so clumsy that she couldn't even lift her legs.

It was sad.

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

She stood up and looked through the flower trees outside, only to see Zhu Xianxian walking in front, her face filled with unconcealable rage, her eyes were red, as though she had been crying.

Behind Zhu Xianxian, there was a tall and sturdy man. This man did not have red eyes, but there was a palm mark on his face;

and also someone that Ann Rushuang was familiar with — Du Yong, and Du Xiaoge as well.

Just as the two of them were walking towards the pavilion in a hurry, Ann Rushuang looked at the two of them, her heart figuring out a few clues, and then found a tall and big flower tree to hide in.

Fortunately, at this time, everyone was taking an afternoon nap, and there were no maidservant servants passing by this place.

As for Zhu Xianxian, who was crying all the way, on the surface, he looked as if he was wronged, but Du Yong had his head drooped down, as if he had done something wrong.

What had happened to the two of them?

Lady Zhu, what do you want?

Du Yong stopped in his tracks, and the soft armor on his chest moved up and down.

Zhu Xianxian also paused for a moment, when she turned her head, she shockingly threw out a slap, but this time, Du Yong directly grabbed his wrist.

What kind of person do you want to ask? It should be me, right?!

Zhu Xianxian looked at Du Yong with reddened eyes, and laughed coldly: Didn't you want to kill me? Come on!

Ann Rushuang who was hiding behind the flower tree:

What were these two doing?

You misunderstand, I didn't know it was you …

Du Yong gasped for breath, and said slowly: I know, I may have made some mistakes, but that is all in the past, I am not going to care about it anymore, please believe me, don't tell the general.

He didn't want Meng Lee to know about these things.

Although Zhu Xianxian had one of her arms grabbed by the arm, she persevered on and swung the other arm. This time, Du Yong was caught off guard, and another palm mark appeared on the other face.

Du Yong immediately let go of Zhu Xianxian's hands and stood in front of her: Go ahead, hit as many times as you want. If I strike back, I'm not a man!

Using this small body, Zhu Xianxian astonishingly slapped him, and then slapped him again!

This Du Yong was really a man of his words, he did not give in at all.

On the other hand, the more Zhu Xianxian hit someone, the more pale she became. After a while, her small face turned red again.

Not long after, his subordinates became lighter and lighter.

Du Yong thought that she had forgiven him and looked at Zhu Xianxian happily.

However, Zhu Xianxian closed her eyes and fell flat on her back!

Fine!

Du Yong's face was also pale white.

Ann Rushuang saw that now, if sshe still did not come out, he would lose all her humanity. She immediately hugged her stomach and pretended to be confused: What happened?

When Du Yong saw Ann Rushuang, for some reason, his face became even more unsightly, but he still summarized what happened just now — past the part where Zhu Xianxian beat him up.

Ann Rushuang checked her pulse, quietly admiring Zhu Xianxian.

This was truly an ancestor. Beating someone could actually make him faint from anger!

CHAPTER 403 - I'M NOT ASKING HER TO KILL THE EMPEROR

While carried Zhu Xianxian into the hut, she asked about the reason behind the argument between the two of them.

It was just that Du Yong was a talkative person, but when she asked that question, it should have been chattering non-stop.

Ann Rushuang could not help but be suspicious in her heart. What was it that caused such a delicate and delicate woman to be so angry?

Zhu Xianxian only woke up that night, but when Ann Rushuang asked about this matter, she remained silent like Du Yong.

Ann Rushuang sighed, and did not ask further about this matter.

Because she knew in her heart, even if Du Yong did the wrong thing, he would still not make a move against her.

She believed that. As for everything else, it was not that important.

Time flew by, in a blink of an eye, it was autumn, and just like before, Ann Rushuang went to the Northern Gazing Mountain every few days to have a look.

She had seen quite a few patients and her medical skills had improved by quite a bit. What was even more obvious was her stomach.

As if someone was blowing on the air, it quickly grew. Nian could already stumble on the thick blanket for two steps, but most of them were still crawling.

Meng Lee's army grew along with him.

This was something that Ann Rushuang couldn't rest easy about. No matter how hard she tried to hide, it was a fact that she could hide it for a while, but she couldn't hide it for a lifetime.

If Zhu Han found out about this, they would be at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, the most worrying thing was that she did not have any eyes or eyes in the imperial court, so she did not know what the current imperial court looked like.

Ann Rushuang realized that as her stomach expanded, her thoughts seemed to increase.

Red Jade often advised her to be more open-minded.

Naturally, she did not know all of this.

Ann Rushuang was jealous of Hong Yu.

What are you thinking about?

A voice sounded from behind her. Ann Rushuang was slightly startled, and then she remembered that she was not the only person in the room.

Ever since that vague act of betrothed to him, Meng Lee entered Ann Rushuang's room under the banner of protecting Ann Rushuang's safety.

However, it was more convenient for him to come over. Since Ann Rushuang was already old, even sitting down was difficult, and he could only sleep on the side most of the time.

Now, every day, Meng Lee would put on his clothes and take off his boots.

In the past, he was still not used to it. Later on, he gradually got used to it and felt that it was nothing much.

Ann Rushuang turned her head to look at him, and asked in a low voice: I'm thinking, what's Shengdu like now …

There was a look of confusion on her face.

Seeing her like this, Meng Lee couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache and regret.

She had originally been in the southern region, a place filled with wealth. But now, he had tricked her into coming to the Northern Lands. However, this regret only lasted for a split-second.

Even if he was given the choice to choose again, he would still trick Ann Rushuang here, regardless of the cost.

With this thought, he slowly said, Presumably, it's still the same as before, a song about winning every night. No matter how much suffering the citizens have, they would never reach the emperor's side. They would only be surrounded by countless women who flatter them.

This was the evil part about Shengdu. It was forced inside, to the point where you could only see the good part.

And the bad side, even if it's rotten and stinking, you'll never see it.

Ann Rushuang was slightly startled, she raised her eyes and looked at him with bright eyes: I think I've thought of a way.

Meng Lee liked her little fox like look. He held her in his arms and asked, What do you want?

Ann Rushuang said: You'll know when the time comes.

In the next few days, Ann Rushuang began to search everywhere for her. Not only him, the red jade and filaments also helped her find them.

What was he looking for? Beautiful.

Unique and unparalleled beauty.

Ann Rushuang knew clearly in her heart that this technique was extremely lousy, but as she was currently in the middle of the emperor's female elites, putting everything else aside, this was still more useful.

She searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the beauty that Ann Rushuang had imagined.

Either his intelligence was lacking, or his appearance was lacking.

But suddenly, her new sister-in-law Meng Zhiqiu came to pay her a visit.

She and Meng Zhiqiu were originally not familiar with each other, and after chatting for a while, Ann Rushuang already started to feel sleepy.

Seeing her like this, Meng Zhiqiu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

I heard that you've been looking for someone recently.

She looked at Ann Rushuang, as if she could see something from Ann Rushuang's slightly swollen face.

Ann Rushuang had not been able to sleep well recently, and could only rest a little more during the day, but since she had been resting like this, she had gotten used to it.

Hearing Meng Zhiqiu's words, she raised her head, completely awake.

Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?

She smiled. Why don't I understand?

Meng Zhiqiu glanced at her. Her eyes were sharp, as if they could pierce through a person's heart.

After a while, she smiled and said, Beauty, I have them here, and they are absolutely safe.

Ann Rushuang's entire body froze. She suddenly felt a soft sensation under her feet, and only then did she come back to her senses and see Nian tirelessly crawling over from the felt ground.

He was hugging Ann Rushuang's ankle, as if he wanted to take Ann Rushuang as a tree.

Ann Rushuang found it funny, she bent down, wanting to hug Nian up, but she was thinking too highly of herself, this stomach made her unable to bend over at all.

He walked over and carried Nian, looked at Ann Rushuang, and said, Your body is heavy now, Nian should have been taken care of by the maidservant, and should not have been put beside him.

Ann Rushuang nodded her head and laughed: Originally, it should be like this, it's just that Nian was making a ruckus today, so I brought him over.

This little guy had tortured quite a few little maidservant.

The two of them spoke for a while. Suddenly, Ann Rushuang asked, Who was the person you were talking about just now?

Meng Zhiqiu naturally understood what she meant, and replied without any ripples on his face, My Meng Family was originally raised, but I will absolutely comply. However, my Meng Family is currently weak, so I am unable to send her to the palace.

Absolutely credible? If only the Emperor …"

Ann Rushuang was still a little apprehensive in her heart.

However, before she could finish speaking, Meng Zhiqiu sneered, She was originally a child of the Meng Family family, and her entire family was slaughtered to death by that doggy emperor. Naturally, she wants to be killed as soon as possible!

Sister-in-law is wrong.

Ann Rushuang shook her head: I didn't ask her to kill the Emperor.

CHAPTER 404 - WHERE IS THE HALL OF PUNISHMENT

Ann Lingshan was very agitated recently, the source of her worries was the new Monarch Elementary Scholars, those beautiful ladies who had just entered the palace.

Although it was the orders of the previous Consort De and the current empress dowager, the emperor had never rejected them.

All the girls walked within the palace like blossoming flowers, causing him to feel flustered and flustered.

What troubled her the most was that even until now, she had yet to fully acknowledge all the women in the halls!

Qiuyue anxiously followed behind Consort Rong, and warned him softly: Consort is slower, we're about to reach the imperial garden!

Ann Lingshan's footsteps impressively slowed down, and after a while, she brushed off the dust on her body that did not exist, and without turning her head, she snorted coldly with disdain: So what if we have arrived, what are you panicking for? They are just a bunch of vulgar people!"

With these words, she raised her head high and walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Before even reaching the imperial flower garden, he could already hear laughter. Ann Lingshan frowned, a look of disgust flashing across his eyes.

It's those women again!

This time, if she saw that they had gone out of line, she would definitely punish them.

With that thought in mind, Ann Lingshan's eyes flashed with the light of war as she arrogantly entered the imperial garden. In front of her were three chasing girls, and a look of disgust flashed across her eyes.

But before she could say anything, a young lady in palace clothing ran over in a hurry. She did not notice that Ann Lingshan was walking over, so she was anxious that he ran over and knocked into Ann Lingshan's body, causing her to stumble.

If one were to say that Little Flame had risen up just now, it would be like blazing fire, and instantly engulfing Ann Lingshan's entire body!

Qiuyue saw that her master's expression was ugly and scolded in shock, Where did this lowly person come from? You dare to crash into Consort!

Hearing the two words Consort Rong, the young woman looked at Ann Lingshan who had a cold expression, and her legs instantly went soft. She kneeled down in front of Ann Lingshan with a thump.

Consort... Consort, please forgive me …

Ann Lingshan snorted lightly with a fake smile, and asked slowly: Which palace? How can I be so unfamiliar with this place? "

Seeing her like that, the young lady trembled as she looked at her companion, but one of the two young girls had already run away, the other was still blindfolded, she did not know what to expect, so she could only tremble and say: Reporting to Consort, this servant is from the Jade Maiden Palace.

Qiuyue rolled her eyes and whispered into Ann Lingshan's ear: Consort, this Jade Maiden Palace is something that has been recently approved and will accommodate the pretty girl. I think she should be the pretty girl that you have yet to choose.

Ann Lingshan looked at her and sneered: The elites are getting more and more uncaring, throwing all kinds of trash into the palace!

While speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Tell the Mama s in the palace to send her out of the palace today.

No! I beg Consort to be merciful and keep her here! "

Just as Qiuyue was about to speak, she heard those words. She could not help but look up, only to see that the young lady who was covering her eyes realized that something was wrong, and tore off the cloth that was covering her eyes, and quickly walked over.

She couldn't help but think that this little girl was really daring.

But when the woman came closer to Ann Lingshan, Qiuyue could not help but take a step back.

This woman had three points that resembled the young miss of the An clan! But compared to the big miss, this woman was even more beautiful, and was not inferior to Ann Lingshan who was covered with jade.

Ann Lingshan also glared at her, her heart filled with hostility.

It was true that Zhu Han was a picky person, if he saw such a beauty, he would definitely not let her go.

Compared to the pressure that the Jade Maiden Palace gave her, this woman alone was a threat.

Ann Lingshan's cold eyes carried a bit of caution. The girl was still walking forward with a smile on her face, she bowed towards Ann Lingshan and greeted him softly: My daughter Meng Chuyue greets Consort Rong. I hope that Consort can let little sister Xue'er off. Coming out here to play today was originally this little girl's idea, I deserve this little girl's punishment.

Ann Lingshan chuckled as she glanced at her, What a good sisterly relationship, then go and receive your punishment from the Hall of Punishment. Since you want to take punishment for your sisters, Qiuyue, how are you supposed to punish me if you offend me?

Qiuyue tremblingly glanced at Meng Chuyue, her heart becoming more and more uneasy. She said in a low voice, Consort … This Jade Maiden Palace is controlled by the Mama s under the control of the Empress, otherwise …

She had not even finished speaking when Ann Lingshan had already ruthlessly slapped her across the face. Qiuyue lost her balance and directly fell onto the ground, covering half her face and looked at Ann Lingshan with tears in her eyes.

Ann Lingshan did not even look at her, the anger in her heart had not subsided, but she still asked fiercely: Tell me, how should I punish you!

Qiuyue stood up with a tremble of her body and stood behind Ann Lingshan.

Ann Lingshan smirked and laughed: Someone as smart as you should understand now, right?

Meng Chuyue looked up and glanced at Ann Lingshan, and then indifferently, without any emotion, she bowed and said: Consort is too kind, I really can't afford to be called smart.

Is that so? Then let me make it clear to you, don't you want to shoulder the responsibility of the top ten? Then let's just carry them, a total of 30 boards. Good child, go ahead."

She chuckled and looked at the sun in the sky. If I go now, I might be able to make it back before it gets dark.

Originally, he wanted to see Meng Chuyue's embarrassed look, but instead, Meng Chuyue smiled and bowed to him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Yes, Consort.

After saying this, she actually didn't plead for mercy. She turned around and walked towards the entrance of the imperial garden.

But when she reached the exit, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

Ann Lingshan looked at her and thought that, in the end, he was still a weakling. No matter how straight his back was, he wouldn't be able to withstand the fear of being beaten.

But before her smile could even reach her eyes, she saw a person slowly walking out from the other end. He was dressed in a golden robe, and had a golden dragon climbing on top of him.

Before Ann Lingshan could even see his face, she already recognized who he was and her heart went cold.

Why would he come here at this time?

Ann Lingshan immediately walked towards that direction. She did not want Zhu Han to see her, whether it was because of her alluring beauty or her face that looked similar to Ann Rushuang's.

What a face!

Thinking about it, she immediately called out to Zhu Han: Your majesty! Chenqie was just about to go look for you, why have you come here at this time?

There was a gentle smile on her face.

However, Zhu Han stopped in front of the crying beauty — — The young girl who was sitting on the ground grabbed his clothes.

The young new master lowered his eyes and looked at her. Meng Chuyue also raised her head, tears in his eyes.

You... Can you tell me where the Hall of Punishment is?

The moment she said those words, Ann Lingshan immediately stopped in her tracks as a bad premonition rose in her heart.

CHAPTER 405 - BEAUTY LIKE THE MOON

Zhu Han could not help but frown, there was some doubt in his eyes, and looking at this beauty, his heart could not help but tremble slightly.

This woman looked somewhat similar to Ann Rushuang.

Seeing her tear-stained and teary face, Zhu Han's heart softened. He could not help but ask in a low voice, Why are you going to the Hall of Punishment?

The girl's tears became even more intense. She turned her head to look at Ann Lingshan, then turned to look at Zhu Han, and muttered. He couldn't say a single word.

Zhu Han frowned, he looked towards where the lady was looking at, and only then did he see Ann Lingshan standing not far away, and his face tensed up.

He had to deal with those bullshit national affairs every day, and listen to those old teachers in the imperial court. When he returned to the imperial harem, he even had to look at a woman's face!

Inwardly, he felt somewhat unhappy. He raised his voice and asked, You were the one who asked her to go to the Hall of Punishment?

Ann Lingshan looked at Meng Chuyue, the lowly person just looked so pitiful, but when the Emperor came, she cried and fell!

This was definitely a conspiracy.

After figuring out what had happened, Ann Lingshan leisurely walked over, and lightly sighed before saying, That's right, and it's only because she was playing around in the imperial flower garden, and bumped into Chenqie's little girl. Chenqie only scolded her a few times, but she still wanted to go to the Hall of Punishment … This concubine saw that she was sincerely regretting it and agreed to your request.

Meng Chuyue's eyes turned cold, this woman was not easy to deal with.

Zhu Han raised his eyebrows, looked at Meng Chuyue, and asked: Is that so?

Meng Chuyue sobbed as she quietly said, Your Majesty, there's no need to ask. Let this humble woman go to the Hall of Punishment to claim the thirty big boards …

As she said this, she began to tremble.

Thirty?

Zhu Han coldly snorted, Master met a maidservant, you want to collect the thirty boards? Consort Rong, this maidservant of yours is really expensive! Even my people don't have such arrogance! Zhang Zhong, do you know where this rule belongs to?

The eunuch at the side shook his whisk and hurriedly said, Reporting to the emperor, there has never been such a rule in our palace.

Zhang Zhong was the emperor's personal eunuch, so he was naturally not afraid of any imperial concubine. Moreover, the emperor was not exactly a glorious favor to this Consort Rong.

Zhu Han chuckled, and lightly lifted Ann Lingshan's lower jaw: Then this rule, could it be set by the Consort Rong?

How would Ann Lingshan accept her at this point? She shook her head repeatedly, Your Majesty still doesn't know your concubine? When walking around without anything to do, even ants would not dare to trample on and kill themselves. It was just that this servant didn't remember the rules, so she asked Qiuyue about it. Maybe Qiuyue remembered wrongly?

She turned and coldly looked at Qiuyue.

After Qiuyue heard this, she kneeled in front of Zhu Han with a 'putong' sound, and repeatedly kowtowed as she said: Your majesty, please spare my life, this servant did not do it on purpose!

Oh? You were lacking something to kill a master, and yet you said it unintentionally?

How could Zhu Han not know that Ann Lingshan was thinking of this? It was just that Ann Lingshan knew too much, so he could not make a move, but, since she placed the blame on maidservant, there was no need to leave any sort of friendship between them.

Thinking about this, Zhu Han instructed: Zhang Zhong, let's settle this. For Consort Rong's sake, save everything.

Qiuyue was paralyzed on the ground, she wanted to beg for mercy, but she did not know who to beg for, because when her master pushed her out to block the blade, who could she beg for?

Zhang Zhong responded, then called for his men to grab Qiuyue's arms, sealed his mouth, and directly dragged him out.

Qiuyue struggled, her tears flowing. She moaned and looked extremely pitiful.

Ann Lingshan clenched her fist and did not say a word.

Qiuyue couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart as she closed her eyes in despair. But at this moment, she heard a voice that sounded like it came from heaven.

Your majesty, please spare her!

Meng Chuyue looked at the emperor with her watery eyes, her slender fingers grabbing onto the hem of his clothes as she pleaded in a low voice, It's just a maidservant, don't let her ruin your good mood … Ahhh!"

Zhu Han suddenly extended a hand and pulled her up, then looked down at her with a smile and said, She wanted you to go to the Hall of Punishment to receive your punishment just now, so you didn't hate her?

Meng Chuyue's eyes curved up, like a crescent moon, her lips curled up, revealing a row of glutinous rice like white teeth. With that smile, she slowly shook her head.

Seeing her like that, Zhu Han suddenly remembered that smile on his face when Ann Rushuang was only 15 years old.

At that moment, he really wanted to have her, give her everything.

Now, this woman caused his heart to palpitate, but he wasn't the same youth from before.

He stared at the girl and asked indifferently, Why?

Meng Chuyue was still smiling, she turned and looked at the young lady, then turned and looked at the emperor, and spoke in a clear voice: Father had once taught this little girl before, those who become great things, do not care about small matters, just like how the emperor should not be troubled by such matters, although I am unhappy, but I am at fault first, regardless of the punishment being light or heavy, the emperor has already exempted me from punishment, and that is already a favor from the heavens, how can I let the emperor stain my hands with blood?

As she spoke, she sighed softly and said, If that's the case, then I will die a thousand times.

She really was a fox girl!

Ann Lingshan's belly was filled with anger, she shouted: "Who allowed you to go with the Emperor, you, you, I ….

It doesn't matter. Those who don't know are innocent.

Zhu Han glanced at Ann Lingshan: Consort Rong, you don't have such a personality in the past, but seeing how bright it is these days, you should not come out for awhile, rest in your hall for a few days, and teach this disobedient maidservant a lesson! As for this maidservant, he can avoid death and live a life of a crime. Let's see what punishment she has just decided on. Let's go and receive it then!

Ann Lingshan was completely dumbstruck, wasn't this equivalent to house arrest?!

But when she came back to her senses, Zhu Han and Meng Chuyue was long gone.

Zhang Zhong stood at the side and laughed at the top of his throat. Men, send Consort back. Bring this lowly bitch to the Hall of Punishment and claim thirty big boards!

Qiuyue's face was ashen as she was dragged away. With the methods of the Hall of Punishment, even if she didn't die, she would still be crippled.

Her lifeless eyes looked at the direction that Ann Lingshan left in, her pair of muddy eyes were filled with malice.

Meanwhile, the emperor was walking in the imperial garden with his beauties as clear as dewdrops. All the eunuchs were playing with their hats on the side. Under the scorching sunlight, a cool feeling spread through the air.

Zhu Han turned his head to look at the young lady, and carefully studied her, but could not recall which family sent this lady to her, and asked: What is your name, and who is your father?

Meng Chuyue laughed tenderly: I am Meng Chuyue, Meng Gong's daughter, and Meng Lee is my brother who came from the Northern Desert.

Zhu Han was slightly startled, Why has I never heard that the God of Slaughter has a younger sister as well …

Meng Chuyue smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty naturally does not know, this humble woman is not Meng Gong's biological son, but she has been adopted under Meng Gong's name since she was young. This time, for the palace selection, brother said that Meng Family is a loyal family, and this humble girl can be considered the only daughter of the family.

Zhu Han sized up the girl with her eyes. The girl smiled, her gaze filled with sincerity.

CHAPTER 406 - FORTHCOMING PRODUCTION

Ann Rushuang was enjoying the cool in her room when she heard a flapping sound coming from outside. She called out for the red jade twice, but no one responded.

She held her stomach and slowly stood up. She walked to the window and opened it.

A pigeon fluttered its wings as it landed on the windowsill. Its small round eyes stared at the pregnant woman in front of it.

Ann Rushuang reached out and grabbed it, then untied the small bamboo tube on its claws. Inside was a small slip of paper.

She slowly unfurled the book. There were only eight words written on it: First attack on the enemy's city. Everything will be fine.

Ann Rushuang laughed, and then lit up the lamp by her side, seeing the slip of paper in her hand being engulfed by the jumping golden flames, little by little, like a city that was becoming more and more rotten …

Lady! Oh my girl!

A sharp cry sounded from behind Ann Rushuang, and her fingertip couldn't help but tremble. After being dazed for a moment, that flame had almost swallowed her finger.

A pair of hands extended towards him. In a hurry, he threw the piece
