The first thousand eight hundred and seventy-four chapters dare not despise
"Princess, slave..."
"Needless to say, you are not good at protecting the Lord, and you no longer need to stay in my palace. Go back to where you came from!"
"Princess, no, I know I was wrong. Please don't drive me away..."
The two of them kept begging for mercy, but Ye Fuxun was not moved at all. He called people in, dragged the person away by force, beat him twenty times with a stick, and threw him out of Shu Ning Palace.
This can be regarded as a warning to the other palace people in the palace, so that they will not dare to look down upon her again.
Facts have proved that this trick is very effective. When the palace people saw that the two palace ladies were beaten so badly, they immediately looked at the sixth princess with admiration and treated them with respect.
This incident of falling into the water spread quickly. The sixth princess was harmed by eight. The princess fell into the water, but she was not blamed by the queen. This surprised and puzzled many people.
They speculated that perhaps it was because the identity of the sixth princess was no longer what it used to be, so the queen held back her anger. If it had been anyone else, she might have suffered a disaster.
A few days later, Ye Fuxun successfully slipped away from Shu Ning Palace, avoiding the eyes and ears placed by the queen, and then came to the North Palace alone.
The North Palace is the cold palace. All the concubines who have been demoted or the palace servants who have committed crimes are sent here. Even the palace servants who work here are the lowest and most humble people.
There is an air of depression everywhere, deserted, lifeless, without a trace of life.
It is said that Grandma Lin was imprisoned in the Abandoned Hospital. I don’t know if she is still there, and more importantly, I don’t know if she is still alive.
Ye Fuxun didn't know the road and didn't know where the Abandoned Courtyard was, so he had to ask the palace people along the way. After searching for a long time, he finally came to the so-called Abandoned Courtyard.
Abandoned courtyard is actually a large abandoned courtyard with dilapidated houses, overgrown weeds and rotten leaves everywhere.
This place is specially used to imprison those palace servants who are seriously ill, elderly and have made mistakes. There is no one to manage them. Apart from taking care of three meals a day, everything else is ignored and they are left to fend for themselves.
There are guards guarding the door all year round, and they are not allowed to take a step.
Ye Fuxun walked over and asked the guard: "Is there a Granny Lin here?"
As soon as the guard saw her dress, he knew that she must be a certain princess, and immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "I don't know who this villain is. I have to go in and ask to find out."
"Then let me go in and take a look!" Ye Fuxun held up her skirt and was about to enter. The guards quickly stopped her: "How could you enter a place like this when you are such a noble person? It's better for me to go in and ask.
"
"No need, I'll go by myself." She remembered Nanny Lin's appearance, and it would be easier to find her if she went in by herself.
The guards couldn't stop her, so they followed her in.
When I got inside, I found that it was worse than I imagined.
The courtyard was dirty and messy, with old palace people with disheveled and gray hair sitting on the stone steps, on the ground, on the threshold, or walking around slowly.
There were even a few mentally ill people fighting and fighting, but the others showed no intention of stopping them.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting leaves and other smells mixed in, making people want to vomit.
The guards shouted loudly: "Stand still, don't move. The princess wants to find someone. Those who are sitting, get up quickly! If the fight doesn't stop, don't blame me for being violent!"
Ye Fuxun resisted the urge to feel nauseated, signaled the guards to step back, walked towards an old woman who seemed to be more conscious, and asked:
"Do you know a nanny named Lin? She was imprisoned about thirteen years ago."
The old nanny opened her eyelids and glanced at her, said nothing, leaned against the railing and closed her eyes to go to sleep. The guard couldn't see it and scolded: "The princess is asking you, don't pretend to be dead!"
The old grandma was still motionless, and Ye Fuxun had no choice but to ask other people. The others either shook their heads or didn't speak, so they couldn't ask anything at all.
Ye Fuxun had no choice but to look for it by himself. He carefully checked everyone in the yard. If he couldn't find it, he had to go into each room to look for it.
In the end, I still found nothing. When I was finally leaving, a eunuch said:
"That Granny Lin is a lunatic. She specializes in beating people. She also likes to run around. She often sneaks out and is caught again. Now I don't know where she is hiding."
Ye Fuxun was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Do you know her?"
The eunuch snorted: "Of course I know her. She is a crazy woman who chases and beats me every day."
"You say she is a lunatic? Is she crazy?" Ye Fuxun's heart slowly sank again. If Nanny Lin was not mentally normal, how could she ask about what happened back then?
The eunuch nodded and said: "Since I came here, that woman has been crazy. She has been crazy for more than ten years."
Since he couldn't find Granny Lin after searching all over the abandoned courtyard for so long, or she must have run away, Ye Fuxun had no choice but to order two guards to look for her.
It was getting dark soon. After walking for so long, Ye Fuxun was tired and hungry, so he decided to go back to Shu Ning Palace first and find a way to find it another day.
As I was passing by the laundry room, I suddenly heard sharp scoldings coming from inside: "Crazy woman, you dare to rob our things and you will die? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death?"
"Even if you don't look at this place, is this the place you should come to? You are so dirty. What should you do if you stain the clothes of the masters? I can't afford to pay for it with your life! Why don't you give it to me quickly?
Get out!"
Ye Fuxun's eyes lit up when he heard the words "crazy woman". Could it be Nanny Lin?
So she walked in quickly and saw two middle-aged maids from the dressing room beating a thin old woman in tattered clothes. While beating and scolding her, she looked like a scolding shrew.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
The middle-aged palace maid saw that Ye Fuxun was so imposing and luxuriously dressed, and immediately stopped.
Ye Fuxun walked towards the old woman lying on the ground. Her hair was messy, her face was full of dirt and wrinkles, and her appearance was completely unrecognizable.
"What on earth did she do wrong that requires you to hit her so hard? Aren't you afraid of beating her to death?"
One of the palace maids curled her lips and said: "If you beat them to death, beat them to death. No one will care about such people at all. If they die, they will be transported out of the palace and thrown into mass graves. What else can you do..."
Ye Fuxun shot him a sharp look, which frightened the palace maid into silence immediately.
"After all, it's human life, but you treat it with such contempt. In my opinion, you should learn a lesson. Otherwise, I don't know how many lives in this palace will be lost."
The two palace maids were finally frightened. Their legs weakened and they knelt down, begging for mercy: "Princess, please forgive me. The slaves no longer dare to do so. Please forgive me for your princess's life..."
"Hmph, I don't like you guys," Ye Fuxun was really angry, but in order to avoid attracting attention, he still had to let them go, "But I am in a good mood today, and I don't want to get in a bad mood, so I will just leave it temporarily.
