My enemies became my companions

Chapter 222: The Lesson of Empress An

The words were clear in an instant, without any more beating around the bush or indirection. The palace maids in the building also remained silent. The small building was unusually quiet. The nameless old lady looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, standing there calmly. The snow outside the house seemed to fall a little faster as the beautiful woman in palace dress spoke.

The slug-like woman's legs were trembling. Her soft flesh was like the waves on the sea, endless. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

She hastily picked up the wine glass, her body almost stiff in the chair.

The cold wind blew in from outside the building, and the power of heaven was mighty, but Min Ming did not even dare to shrink. She just kept her head down. If An Hou had not forbade her to kneel a few days ago, she would have knelt down by now, prostrating herself on the ground and kowtowing to apologize.

Even the common people in the market could not bear the royal family's dragon chariot. How could a woman like her, whose life was as fragile as paper, remain calm when asked by Queen An?
Queen An looked at the woman coldly, she was so weak that she didn't even have much backbone, no wonder that lustful thing wouldn't even touch her.

"Such a famous woman in the capital, why didn't she even reply?"

Queen An sneered, her eyes wandering over her body, pausing for a moment at that soft spot that was even softer than hers, and said in a cold voice:
"You are so fertile, but you have this appearance that brings disaster to the country and the people. What's the inside? Tell me..."

Min Ming raised her head slightly and presented herself in front of Queen An. It was not that she was ugly. In Queen An's opinion, she was only two or three points less beautiful than she was when she was young. However, her figure was exceptionally mature and beautiful. If the Min family had not encountered an unexpected change, I am afraid that when she was fourteen years old, the matchmaking carriages would have crowded the entire street.

Seeing that Min Ming did not answer for a long time, the nameless old lady said in a deep voice: "Answer me."

Under the gazes of the two, Min Ming's hands trembled violently. She tightly grasped the white jade wine glass, and dared not to reply:

"Your Majesty, I am just a stubborn stone. I am not as beautiful as the women you have seen..."

When Empress An heard this, she showed no joy, but her eyebrows were raised, and she looked quite angry:

"Okay, okay, I'm not a beauty. If you really admit that you are not a beauty, then is your sister Min Ning considered a beauty?"

Min Ming froze all over, no longer caring about Queen An's previous order, and fell to his knees from the chair, saying in panic:
"All the previous crimes will be punished by me alone. Your Majesty, please let Min Ning go..."

"Add a crime? I am rewarding her."

When Queen An saw her kneeling, her tone became more serious. She held the wine in her hand and strolled around Min Ning leisurely.

"Ehuang and Nuying, sharing the same husband is a beautiful story. In the future, the palace will confer titles on you as imperial ladies. Many people beg for it but cannot. You say this is a crime. Am I a Rakshasa who doesn't understand human nature?"

Min Ming bent his body even lower, and those phoenix eyes pressed her so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

Wow.

The wine spilled down from above and soaked Min Ming's head.

Min Ming still didn't dare to look up, his forehead pressed against the floor, letting the wine drip down.

The eyes of Empress An gradually grew colder, and the nameless old lady who had served the Empress Dowager for decades caught a glimpse of murderous intent.

Then, the nameless old lady said:

"The queen has given so much effort, but you, a fool, still don't wake up?!"

Suddenly, someone else's voice fell. Min Ming looked up suddenly and saw the disappointed look on the Queen Mother's face. She understood something in an instant and said in panic:
"My little girl is guilty!"

"Where is the crime?" Queen An's brows did not relax.

"My sin is... my sin in front of the Heavenly Family... I belittle myself." Min Ming said in a trembling voice.

At this time, the anger on Feng Yan eased a little, she turned around and said:
"Get up."

Min Ming stood up tremblingly, and at An Hou's signal, he was to sit down slowly. However, he stumbled with lingering fear and fell into the chair.

Snapped.

After he fell down, there was a crisp sound, and Anhou narrowed his eyes for a while.

The old lady eased the atmosphere and said with a smile:
"A loud fall is good for childbearing. This folk saying is probably true."

Min Ming's originally pale face turned red because of these words.

Queen An stared at the silent woman and asked in a wake-up call:
"You don't want to refute it?"

The young woman's face turned pale again, she took a breath for a while, and finally said with a red face before An Hou could speak again:
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid Captain Chen doesn't like playing the drums..."

After hearing this, there was silence for a moment, and then one of the silent palace maids couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing, and the old lady also started laughing.

Queen An also slightly raised the corner of her mouth, but did not smile. Instead, she called a palace maid to pour wine.

Min Ming's pretty face was flushed red as wine dripped from her hair. What she said just now was the usual nonsense that brothel girls used in private.

After the laughter in the building died down, Min Ming heard another voice in his ears.

"Are you dissatisfied with what I said just now?" Queen An asked calmly.

Min Ming paused, shook his head and said, "I dare not be dissatisfied." An Hou frowned again and said, "Even a clay Buddha can still have some temper, but you don't?"

Min Ming didn't know how to answer. With the royal family in front of her, her mind was still a little confused, and she didn't know where she had said the wrong thing again.

Seeing this, Queen An sighed and said:

"Except for the extra few pounds of meat, everything else is lacking."

"Your Majesty is teaching..."

"Don't always say that what I taught you is right. You need to argue for a sentence or two before you know if what I taught you is right or not."

"..."

Min Ming didn't know how to answer. She had fallen into a lowly status and would bow her head even to ordinary ladies from wealthy families. What's more, now she was facing Queen Mother Dayu directly. How could she bear it if she was scolded repeatedly?

When Queen An saw that the woman had gone back again, she fell into self-deprecation again and asked coldly:
"You have a nice appearance, but are you such a fickle person on the inside?"

Min Ming was as frightened as a tiger and began to tremble again. This time he was a little smarter and weakly retorted:

"Your Majesty, I am a prostitute. Now that I have seen your holy face, I feel ashamed of myself. It would be a great courage for me to reply."

Queen An was finally somewhat satisfied, but she was still disappointed. The reason was that Min Ming was too different from her initial expectations. How could such a self-deprecating woman say anything even if she entered that man's mansion? She was afraid that her plan would be wasted.

And Queen An could also see that Min Ming's self-deprecation was deep in his bones.

If not for this, the prostitute would not have been frightened by Chen Yi's words at that time, nor would she have had a self-destructive tendency to welcome Chen Yi's revenge, and even despised her own sister Min Ning.

"Now that the palace has redeemed you, you are no longer a slave." Queen An said calmly.

Min Ming was stunned for a moment, before he could kneel down to thank God for his great grace.

Queen An walked up to her and said coldly:

"Sit down. No need to kneel if outsiders are not around."

Min Ming's knees felt weak, and he subconsciously had the urge to kneel down and thank him for not kneeling. His hips were already off the chair.
"Mud can't hold up a wall!"

Queen An seemed to have finally lost her patience, and in the past few days, she had asked this woman to follow her side in order to dispel the divine power in Min Ming's heart.

She slapped Min Ming's pale face, and his cheeks turned red.

Snapped!
The pain swept over Min Ming, who was stunned and stared blankly at those phoenix eyes.

"How have I bullied and humiliated you? Do you dare to explode?"

Min Ming was furious when he saw the condescending face.
"Do you dare? Do you dare?

If that person bullies and humiliates you like he did today, will you dare to explode? ! "

After she finished speaking, Min Ming's face turned terribly pale and tears welled up in her eyes. She trembled and did not say a word.

An Hou's patience seemed to have been exhausted, and she turned her head and ordered:
"Come here, strip her clothes off, press her acupuncture points, tie her up and throw her into Captain Chen's yard. Wait for that man to come back. Yes, strip Min Ning as well. Drug both of them."

When mentioning his sister, Min Ming finally reacted and said hoarsely:
"Dare, dare! I dare!

"If you treat me like a worthless person, I will treat you like an enemy! Your Majesty is bullying and humiliating me now, so I will treat you like an enemy!"

The indescribably noble woman turned her head and raised her hand to stop the maid who was approaching.

"Then you can take the medicine yourself. It's up to you to decide where to put it."

Min Ming lowered his head and murmured:

"My daughter obeys your command."

She naturally understood what kind of medicine it was.

Queen An walked slowly over, gently touched the red palm print on her pretty face, and lifted her drooping head.

"This slap,

Keep it, endure it,

If you have the ability, you can return it. "

I feel like one chapter is not enough, so there should be another chapter tonight, but it will be later, maybe at 10 o'clock.
