"What did they say?"

Huo Mingzhu has a cold face. She stares at the nurse and forces her to look up at her reply.

The nurse was scared to death at the moment. She told Huo Mingzhu what she heard. She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Her face was covered with snot and tears, which scared the two children.

"Since you don't want to say it, you should kneel down here for me, when you think it through and when you open your mouth."

Huo Mingzhu's face was solemn and cold, and her voice was deliberately lowered to appease the children.

Holding Bai lixin'er and Bai Liyan on the couch, Huo Mingzhu can't bear to let the two children out of his sight, gently patting Bai lixin'er's back, and occasionally covering the quilt for Bai Liyan who kicked the quilt. Huo Mingzhu's heart becomes softer when she looks at the two lovely faces.

Soon they fell into a deep sleep. Huo Mingzhu, who had been lying on the couch all day, sighed deeply and got out of bed lightly. She was cold again and approached the nurse who was still kneeling there.

"Spare your life, Queen, spare your life..."

Looking at Huo Mingzhu's Brocade shoes stopped in front of her, the nurse hurriedly kowtowed her head and begged for mercy.

For an hour or two, she had been kneeling like this. No matter how strong the pain came from her knees, she did not dare to move. Now she even felt that her legs were not her own.

Compared with the pain in the knee and the sharp pain on the forehead when kowtowing, the fear of being beheaded makes the nurse more afraid.

"Get up and talk outside."

Huo Mingzhu only glanced at the nurse coldly. If it wasn't for the anger in her body, she would fall to the ground.

The nurse stood up slowly, supporting the floor. She was also a staggerer and almost fell down.

Kneeling for so long, she is just a person, where may not be soft foot pain?

Different from Huo Mingzhu, what supports her to keep up with Huo Mingzhu is her growing fear.

"Say, today you take Xin son exactly to hear what."

Sitting down, Huo Mingzhu looks pale. Her fierce eyes stare at the nurse who kneels down again. Her voice is as cold as an ancient well in the cold winter. The chill makes the nurse shiver.

"Niang Niang, I didn't hear anything, maidservant didn't hear anything!"

The frightened nurse's hoarse voice seemed to have been severely ground by sandpaper. She kept kowtowing her head, and the red and swollen forehead was bloody in an instant.

How dare she tell Huo Mingzhu what she heard?

Those words made her angry and resentful. If she learned from the empress, wouldn't she just wait to be dragged out and cut off her head immediately?

Huo Mingzhu seems to see what the nurse is afraid of, but she doesn't put a soft face. Instead, she slaps the table with a hard slap. The frightened nurse stops in a hurry and just puts her head on the ground, as if she can keep her head as long as she doesn't look up.

"If you don't, I'll send someone to drag you out and flog you to death. If I tell you what I've heard today, maybe I'll be merciful and forgive you."

"Niangniang, maidservant dare not, maidservant dare not..."

The nurse was shaking all over, but she also knew that Huo Mingzhu could do it. If she refused to say a word, she would not be able to walk out of the palace alive.

But did you say that?

Looking back on what the maid said today, the nurse's body trembled more and more severely.
