"Yes...yes..." Ji Liu rolled his eyes in panic. At this time, it was impossible not to reveal the queen. Besides, the queen had harmed him so miserably. There was nothing he could do to protect the queen.
own life.
Whether others live or die has nothing to do with him. The most important thing is to save his own life. Thinking of this, he had an idea in his mind, kowtowed in pain and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to tell the person who gave the stew pot to me. All I want is
Your Majesty, please spare me this time."
What kind of person is Yinzhen? As soon as he heard Ji Liu's words, he understood what he meant, "Do you want me to let you go in exchange for exposing the person behind the scenes?"
Ji Liu hurriedly said: "This slave is really being taken advantage of without any prior knowledge. Please forgive me for your ignorance."
Yinzhen smiled softly, and just when Ji Liu thought he was going to agree, Yinzhen's eyes turned cold and said: "Ji Liu, you are not qualified to bargain in front of me. Besides, no matter what the purpose, you dare to
Asking someone to exchange something for me and telling a lie to He An is an act of impure thinking. Tell me, how should I spare you?"
Ji Liu's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Yinzhen would not agree to his request. He thought that in order to know the identity of the person behind the scenes as soon as possible, Yinzhen would let him go, but now...
After forcing himself to calm down, he said bravely: "Since I will die if I tell you, and I will die if I don't tell you, I seem to have no reason to tell the emperor."
Regarding Ji Liu's boldness, Yinzhen shouted angrily: "Are you threatening me?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." Ling Ruo was afraid that Yinzhen would be too angry and hurt the dragon's body, so he quickly advised him, and then said: "Let me ask him, I will definitely let him reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes."
"No need." Yinzhen said coldly: "For a slave who dares to threaten me, there is nothing to say." At this point, he suddenly laughed, "Ji Liu, there is one thing you said wrong.
If you don't tell me, you will die, but if you don't tell me, I will let you suffer the pain of being cut into pieces without death before you die."
Ling Chi... Ji Liu was trembling all over. Among all the punishments, this one was the most terrible. Thousands of knives were cut on a person's body, but they were hung with ginseng to prevent him from dying. I heard that some people were completely covered with flesh.
Even though he was cut off, he was still alive.
"No, Your Majesty, I don't want it. I've realized my crime. I really have realized my crime! I'm willing to reveal the person behind the scenes. I beg Your Majesty not to punish me with Ling Chi." Ji Liu cried bitterly. Compared with Ling Chi's punishment, death is real.
It's a relief.
"Say." The only word Yinzhen gave to Ji Liu was this word. Ji Liu quickly said: "It's the Queen. The Queen gave the stew pot to the slave. Everything the slave does is under her instructions!"
Yinzhen stiffened up, with an expression of disbelief, and said in a daze: "What did you say, say it again?"
Ji Liu repeated: "It's the Queen! I didn't lie. Everything was done under the orders of the Queen!"
Lian Yi...it turned out to be Lian Yi. Although the relationship between husband and wife was not deep, they had lived together for more than thirty years and had children. Even if Hong Shi's incident happened, he had no feelings for Nala.
Shi was suspicious, but when he saw her denying her relationship with Hongshi and stabbing him with a hairpin, he finally chose to believe her and allowed her to continue to be her queen and continue to enjoy her honor.
But today, he learned from Ji Liu that Nala wanted his life, and he forgave her, but she deliberately planned to take his life. How ironic!
At this moment, what he most wanted to ask Nala was, in his heart, had there ever been a trace of love between husband and wife after more than thirty years of getting along?!
Compared to Yinzhen's shock and disbelief, Ling Ruo was much calmer. No one knew better than her how cruel and ruthless Nala was. The only thing she didn't expect was that Nala would actually attack Yinzhen.
The love between husband and wife, the love between mother and child, and the love between sisters are all meaningless in her eyes. Only power and interests are what she really pursues.
Such a person is chilling and scary, but everything must come to an end. Since she failed to kill Yinzhen this time, what awaits her will be Yinzhen's cold and ruthless counterattack.
I believe that after today, the more than 20 years of entanglement between her and Nala will also end.
When Yinzhen came back from the shock, he punched the bed hard and murmured: "It's her! It's her!"
"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body. The most urgent task now is to find the Queen and ask her clearly." Faced with Ling Ruo's consolation, Yinzhen took a deep breath and said: "You are right, Sixi, go and tell the Queen immediately.
Come!"
Si Xi heard the anger contained in his words, and quickly agreed and stepped back quickly. Just when he stepped out of the palace door, the sky where the autumn sun was shining suddenly became gloomy, and the autumn wind started to rise.
, blowing away the fallen leaves that had not yet been swept away, filling the entire Forbidden City with a sense of loneliness and desolation in autumn.
At that time, in Kunning Palace, Nala was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the warmth of the autumn sun. But suddenly the weather changed, and the wind even blinded her eyes. Xiao Ningzi glanced at the gloomy sky and said:
"Master, it looks like it's going to rain, so I'll help you in."
Nala nodded and stood up holding the Persian cat curled up on her lap. However, just when her hand was put on Xiao Ningzi's arm, she suddenly frowned with her slender eyebrows and said: "Xiao Ningzi, Ji Liu has already
After replacing the stew pot, do you think our plan will succeed?"
Xiao Ningzi smiled slightly and said: "Master thought of Wen Ruqing's trick before. In addition, the things you put in the stew pot were genuine ginseng. The imperial doctor couldn't find any clues at all. Yi Nu just saw that it was almost night
Then there will be news."
Nala did not relax his eyebrows because of his words, but instead frowned more and more, "I don't know why, I feel a trepidation now. Looking back, this plan is actually a bit risky, in case someone finds out something is wrong.
, with Ji Liu’s temperament, he will never keep secrets from me.”
Xiao Ningzi said disapprovingly: "That's just a cup of ginseng soup. It doesn't have any medicine or poison. Who can see the problem? Master, don't worry too much. If you are really worried, I will send someone to raise it."
Ask at the Heart Palace."
Nala shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. I have always asked Du Juan to keep an eye on the Yangxin Hall. If there is any news, he will naturally report it." As soon as he finished speaking, Du Juan hurried in without even having time to salute.
, then said: "Master, something serious has happened!"
Nala's heart thumped, and the ominous premonition became more and more obvious. Could it be that what she was worried about was really going to happen?
Xiao Ningzi glared at Du Juan and said, "Speak carefully, don't be confused."
