Chapter 170 The dust has settled
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Li Sui said no more and just allowed Yu Nu to take him away in confusion. After a while, he came back to resume his life.
"Going back to the princess, the servant found one in the crack of the floor under her bed. Caihe said that she was thinking that she would be released from the palace in the spring next year. Since she had taken the risk and framed it for Caiping, she secretly
I hid one in private, planning to keep it and sell it quietly after leaving the palace."
Seeing what the jade slave had brought up, Li Sui rubbed his eyes at Zhishan, and secretly lamented the inadequacy of people's hearts. If it weren't for Caihe's greedy temperament, tonight's matter might not have been solved as he wished.
In silence, Li Sui handed the beads to Zhishan. Before Zhishan could speak, he had already said to Caihe who was kneeling below: "Since your boss said that you usually have a good temper, you will be released from the palace next year."
, why do you have to do such a stupid thing?
Is there any inside story? Now that the matter is here, if you tell the truth, you might still be more decent while I'm here. Otherwise, when I leave, under the care of the violent room, just because you steal Yue Zhaoyi's things will only
I’m afraid that I will suffer more than just physical pain.”
When Wang Chong heard that Li Sui had used himself to warn Caihe, Wang Chong was sweating profusely. It was clearly the twelfth month of winter, and his back was soaked. At this moment, he could only bury his head deeper, wishing he could disappear immediately.
After hearing this, the palace maid named Caihe naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, but she seemed to be afraid of something. She hesitated and just kept kowtowing and crying.
"The princess is a good-natured woman, so she allowed you to delay this. If she is waiting to throw you into the violent chamber, why don't you think about how many torture instruments you can afford? By then, life will be worse than death, and it will be too late to regret it.
Got it!"
Hearing Nian Nu's cold threat, Li Sui saw that Cai He was still timid and refused to speak, so he slightly frowned and said calmly: "Then I'll send you to the rape room. I will wait for the result tonight."
While speaking, Niannu ordered someone to drag the palace maid downwards. When Caihe saw this, he immediately felt as if he had been doused with boiling water. He cried out for mercy, and saw that she was being roughly dragged further and further away by the servants, which was harsh.
The begging for mercy also gradually faded away, and everyone couldn't help but feel terrified.
"The slave said! The slave said! It's Aunt Shan! It was Aunt Shan who asked the slaves to steal the beads and frame Caiping. All of this was because Ye Tingling wanted to force Caiping and the others to obey him. He couldn't force Caiping and the others to obey him, so he wanted to use this design. The slaves were not
Yes, but Aunt Shan said that the slave will be released from the palace in the spring next year. If you do
Not only will I be allowed to leave the palace smoothly, but I will also take care of the matters for my slave to leave the palace, so that I can enjoy peace and wealth in the rest of my life. If I don’t do it, Aunt Shan said that since I already know the plan, even Ye Tingling will not let me go.
, so don’t say anything about the palace, it doesn’t matter whether you have life or not, it’s just a slave—"
After spitting everything out like beans, Caihe immediately cried and knelt in the snow, with his hair disheveled and tears streaming down his face. His mouth kept trembling and said: "Princess, I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Princess."
I am really forced to do it, and I really dare not not do it."
Hearing Caihe's words, Zhishan, who had been silent at first, turned pale and without a trace of blood. He turned around almost in shock, pointed angrily at Caihe and trembled: "Nonsense! Now you still dare to accuse others——"
As he spoke, Zhishan turned to Li Sui in panic and knelt down and saluted: "Princess, this Caihe wants to escape the blame and accuses the slave. How dare the slave do this -"
Before he finished speaking, Li Sui opened his lips indifferently, and then said: "Didn't you just rely on testimony and evidence to convict Caiping before? Now that there are both witnesses and physical evidence, why did it happen to you?
Isn’t it true?”
Hearing the words of Li Sui sitting in the seat, I could see the compelling glint in her eyes. Zhishan's face was as pale as a grasshopper after autumn. She was so panicked that she could only kneel down and say she was wrong.
Li Sui glanced at Wang Chong, who was scared to death for half his life. Seeing Wang Chong who was about to collapse on the ground in panic, he said in a cold voice: "If you don't tell the truth again, I think I will really ask His Highness to make a decision."
After hearing Li Sui's words, not to mention Zhishan and Wang Chong, everyone present knew that things were getting out of hand. Now Her Royal Highness the Queen was recuperating, and even His Majesty did not teach anyone to disturb him easily. If he was disturbed for this,
The empress will inevitably make Long Yan furious. In addition, Yue Zhaoyi has always been arrogant and powerful. She will not let him off easily if she knows about this matter. When the time comes, even Concubine Shu will inevitably have to bear the responsibility.
So when these words came out, it was no surprise that even Zhishan didn't dare to hold on any longer. He and Wang Chong were already kneeling there begging for mercy, looking embarrassed and ridiculous.
At Li Sui's signal, Nian Nu sent all the maids back, leaving Jiang Lihua, her daughter, and Na Caihe alone.
In the cold night, Li Sui glanced at Jiang Lihua and said, "Since you framed her, I'll let you handle it."
Upon hearing Li Sui's words, Caihe burst into tears immediately, almost choked with sobs and could not speak. He could only desperately kneel forward, kneel at Jiang Lihua's feet and kowtow continuously.
However, Jiang Lihua's expression was cold, even colder than the ice and snow on this cold night, and she hardly even moved her eyelids.
Sensing that her mother Jiang was moved, she seemed to want to plead, but Jiang Lihua silently held her hand and blocked it. The next moment Jiang Lihua silently lowered her head and looked at the person at her feet, and finally said indifferently: "In the past, this
You are the only one in Yeting who is willing to take care of me and my mother-in-law. I am very grateful. Now that you have wronged me, we have nothing to do with each other——"
After saying that, she turned around and kowtowed deeply to Li Sui and said: "The princess has washed away the injustice done to me today. I am willing to tie a knot of grass and ring to repay you. As for the sins of others -"
Having said this, Jiang Lihua glanced ruthlessly at Caihe beside her and said, "But please deal with it, Princess."
As soon as the words fell, Caihe fell down as if his soul had been taken away, and fell into the snow in a daze, letting snowflakes fall all over his body.
Li Sui silently looked at the people kneeling in front of him. His eyes were not clear, but his heart was more determined and satisfied.
If you want to survive in the palace, or even have a better life, you must not have any so-called compassion.
Those will only make people become hesitant, accomplish nothing, and even cost their lives.
After Caihe was dragged down, Jiang Lihua and her daughter also retreated together. Li Sui just relaxed and looked at the falling snow, and stood up with Nian Nu supporting her.
"Everyone praises Concubine Shu for her wisdom and kindness, but now she is going to be ruined by the two of you. I'm afraid that before Yue Zhaoyi can deal with you, Concubine Shu will be the first to deal with you in order to clear her name.
.”
Hearing Li Sui's vague emotion towards the flying snow in the corridor, Wang Chong and Zhishan had already lost their souls and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
At this moment, Zhishan seemed to have thought of something, and gradually raised his head with hope, as if grasping the final salvation, and said: "Princess, slave, slave, I am willing to be driven by the princess, but I beg the princess to spare my life, slave."
Really, anything is possible—"
Looking at the person at his feet, Li Sui smiled, he was a smart person after all.
She indeed did not need the lives of these two dispensable people.
If these two people are dealt with, tonight's events will inevitably be leaked. By then, Jiang Lihua will be more conspicuous, and it will no longer be a secret if she wants to use him for her own purposes.
What she wants is a dark chess game, not an open chess game.
"good--"
Just one word made the two of them feel refreshed. Li Sui leaned over and looked at Wang Chong, whose eyes were as pale as earth, and said word by word: "Ling Yeting is old, and it will be difficult to guard Yeting Palace. I have seen
In the past few days, Ye Tingling has come up with a solution on his own. It doesn’t matter if he has a broken finger or a lame leg. As long as he abdicates the throne and makes way for someone more worthy, he can finally earn a good life for the rest of his life."
Hearing these cold and ruthless words coming from Li Sui's mouth as easily as gossip, Wang Chong was already shaking like chaff. He couldn't help himself. Under Li Sui's indifferent gaze, he could only bury his head and tremble: "Slave, I understand."
Whether he wants power or his life, Li Sui knows that the person in front of him should know very well.
When Wang Chong was lifted down, Li Sui stood up slowly, looked down at Zhishan who was kneeling at his feet and warned: "I know you are smart, but I don't like playing tricks on smart people in front of me.
If I want to survive here, just remember what I just said, put away those dirty thoughts, and take good care of the Yeting Palace for Your Majesty and Your Highness. If I find out these things again, you two will not have a second life.
Arrive at—”
Watching Li Sui's trial of Wang Chong, Zhi Shan was in a cold sweat for the rest of his life because he spared his own life. At this moment, he no longer had the calmness he had when they first met. He just kept nodding in agreement, treating Li Sui as a god.
.
"Remember, I came tonight just because your Highness's clothes were washed and stripped of silk. The maid who committed the crime has been found and dealt with. After tonight, I don't want any other news to spread to Ye Ting, otherwise I will
It would be easy to take off both of your heads right away——"
Hearing the last words, Zhishan trembled and immediately nodded tremblingly: "I understand that I will take care of everyone and will never teach anyone what to say."
When all the dust settled, Li Sui took Nian Nu and Yu Nu and walked down the stone steps of the corridor step by step.
After tonight, everyone will only think that she, Li Sui, is the one who used the topic to criticize Concubine Shu. Although Wang Chong and Zhishan are not good people, but now that she has their lives in their hands, they will not dare to do it again. Instead of killing her two
It's better to get rid of them all and replace them with people who don't know the details. It's better to just take advantage of the situation.
"Go back and tell Jiamo that she should carefully consider the candidate for Ye Tingling."
