Chapter 345 The Crown Prince’s iron-blooded tactics
In fact, the matter was very simple. Someone paid a lot of money to hire two palace ladies to get the jade, but they did not show their faces. They gave them a deposit at night, which was very considerable.
Seeing Cai's interest, they decided to wait for an opportunity to get the jade, and then put it in the place designated by the person. As for what happened next, it had nothing to do with them, they only needed to do such a simple thing.
After Qin Zhao heard this, he asked Bao Yuan to escort him to the main hall so that Xiao Ce could deal with the two palace ladies.
Baoyu finally realized at this time that these two palace maids were most likely the people Wu Guifei spent a lot of money to bribe.
If Liangdi hadn't reminded her again and again, she wouldn't have taken it seriously.
If she was really taken to an unknown place by the two palace maids just now, she would probably become a corpse the next day, right?
Thinking of this possibility sent chills down her spine.
Even Qin Zhao didn't expect that she was just too clever to actually help Baoyu survive a disaster.
"Now you should know that there are many traps in the deep palace, and this is a place where people can be eaten. After this battle, you must stay vigilant no matter what you do, and don't be careless." Qin Zhao said in a serious tone.
Fortunately, Baoyu was fine this time, otherwise she couldn't imagine what would happen if Baoyu was really taken away.
The four treasures echoed in unison, among which the voice of Baoyu was the loudest.
That afternoon, Qin Zhao heard that the two maids who had committed the crime were killed by Xiao Ce in public.
The so-called public killing with a cane means that the palaces and chamberlains from all the other palaces in the East Palace are gathered together and beaten to death. This is to make everyone remember. This is the rule of the East Palace. No one can put their hands into other rooms.
Yuan, let alone make decisions and attack people from other gardens.
Such a play is of course intended to serve as a warning to the monkeys.
After Qin Zhao heard this, he was surprised that Xiao Ce would be so vicious, but he had to say that this method was the most effective. Only in this way could the slaves serving in the East Palace understand one thing. What they have to do is to serve him.
If your master has evil intentions, he will be severely punished if he commits a crime.
Among them, the person who suffered the greatest impact was Nian Su.
Nian Su has served Xiao Ce for two lifetimes, but has never seen Xiao Ce act so viciously.
But it was Qin Liangdi who sent the two palace men to the main hall, and Bao Yuan told what happened. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't even need to hesitate at all before he decided to kill the two palace men in public.
Although these two palace men had evil thoughts, they had not taken action yet, and of course they did not harm anyone. But just like that, His Highness the Crown Prince actually killed the person with a stick without saying a word.
Moreover, all the servants in the East Palace were gathered together to watch this scene.
This was simply because it was related to Wang Yueju and Qin Liangdi, so His Highness the Crown Prince acted so cruelly.
This was something that would never have happened in the previous life.
This time she really discovered that this Crown Prince was not the one from her previous life. Although that one treated Qin Zhao very differently, he would never do such a crazy thing for Qin Zhao.
The prince in front of him is willing to shed blood for Qin Liangdi and does not mind his own reputation. This shows that Qin Liangdi occupies an extremely important position in the heart of the prince.
She used to think that it was not difficult to deal with Qin Liangdi as long as she found the right time. In her previous life, she was very good at doing this, and Qin Zhao repeatedly suffered losses at her hands.
She originally had such confidence, but now she is not so sure.
Even Qin Liangdi didn't pay attention to her, which was different from the previous life. Qin Liangdi in the previous life regarded her as a thorn in his side, but in this life Qin Zhao never looked at her squarely.
In other words, if she uses the same tactics in her previous life to deal with Qin Liangdi, it won't work.
Although she was patient and confident that she could deal with Qin Zhao, she didn't know where to start. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince cared about Qin Zhao, which made her think twice before doing anything.
Today, His Highness the Crown Prince went to war over Wangyueju, which made her even more confused.
She was afraid that one day she would end up in the same situation as those two palace ladies...
Not to mention that Nian Su was timid because of Xiao Ce's iron-blooded tactics, but that the other palace servants and servants in the East Palace had nightmares after seeing it.
Only the four treasures from Wangyueju were not there to observe, so naturally they had no idea how tragic the situation was.
Zuo Liangyuan came to Wangyueju the next day and mentioned the matter to Qin Zhao, saying that Hongxian had not slept for half the night yesterday.
Qin Zhao looked at Hongxian and saw dark circles under her eyes. He knew she had not slept well last night.
"The people in the East Palace are talkative, and there are other people who have planted spies in the East Palace. His Highness's move must be to show off to everyone and make everyone feel at ease. Although the method is a bit drastic, I think it will still be effective, at least.
It can serve as a shock to some of the spies placed in the East Palace." Qin Zhao replied quietly.
Zuo Liangyuan didn't seem to expect Qin Zhao's answer. She couldn't hide her surprise, and it took a while for her to return to normal.
Qin Zhao saw it clearly and found it funny.
Zuo Liangyuan probably had some misunderstanding about her temperament and thought she was a kind person. Little did she know that after she became the Queen Mother in her previous life, many people died at her hands.
After all, they are an orphan and a widowed mother. If she is not strong, someone will always bully them. As time goes by, their hearts will become harder. What kind of things have they not done?
But it was undeniable that she didn't want to live like that. She was under so much pressure that sometimes she couldn't even remember her original appearance.
If she can live a lazy life in this life, that will be her destiny.
"Sister's words make sense." Zuo Liangyuan took a while to agree with Qin Zhao.
She thought she was gradually getting to know Qin Zhao, but it turned out that she had overthought it, and Qin Liangdi was actually someone who did great things.
Zuo Liangyuan sat for a while longer before leaving Wangyue Residence.
Just after leaving the garden, Hongxian whispered: "Qin Liangdi is actually a vicious woman. Doesn't she think that the two palace ladies died unjustly?"
It's okay not to sympathize with him, but he still agrees with His Highness the Crown Prince's actions. This is because he doesn't take the lives of his maids as their fate.
"But what Sister Qin said is not unreasonable. This is the palace, and His Highness's status is extraordinary. Today, some people can hurt people for money, but others can follow suit? It doesn't seem to make sense to think about the problem from the standpoint of Sister Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince.
Wrong. Hongxian, you can just say this in front of me. If it reaches Sister Qin's ears, it will be disrespectful." Zuo Liangyuan lowered her face and taught Hongxian.
"I know I'm wrong," Hongxian said slowly.
"You really have to admit your mistakes. Since I plan to become an ally with Sister Qin, I can't let Sister Qin think that I am unreliable." Zuo Liangyuan took a deep look at the red line: "You should reflect on it yourself."
Hongxian didn't dare to object and agreed in a low voice.
