"I..." Xiang Ni was glared at by the butler and remained silent.
Chen Xi's eyes flashed with ice-like light. Of course she knew that her current body was not even as good as a girl who could cultivate, but what did she say?
Many times, it is more interesting to use your brain than your hands.
Just like now, she can't hurt Xiangni under his guard, but she can completely borrow it from others.
She lowered her eyes and looked pitiful: "Butler, don't blame Xiangni. I am a loser in cultivation, so I deserve to be bullied by others!"
Look at her weak and helpless look. Doesn't she look like someone with a sinister streak?
The housekeeper blinked, almost thinking he was dazzled.
He had long heard that the princess was stupid, cowardly and easy to bully before she got married, but judging from her behavior with the prince today, those rumors were obviously wrong!
Not only is she neither crazy nor stupid, her eyes are even filled with wisdom that is rare for women nowadays, although she often uses a sweet smile to cover up that sharp light.
But why does the princess look so delicate and delicate now?
His eyes followed Chen Xi's "timid" gaze, and he suddenly understood.
It turns out! It turns out that the princess herself is not capable enough, so she wants to use his help to get rid of a unruly slave!
With a thought in his mind, his impression of Chen Xi changed again, thinking: "The princess is so smart, so what if she is a loser? As long as she is smart, she can still help the prince and be a good wife in Prince Gong's palace."
Unable to help but respect Chen Xi a little more, he said in a deep voice: "Where! The princess is talented and intelligent, even if she can't practice, she is still the princess of our Prince Gong's Palace. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful is working against our Prince Gong's Palace.
"
He looked back coldly, glaring at Xiangni with cruel and sharp eyes.
"Bold Xiang Ni, you are an evil slave who deceives your master, and you have no dignity. Come on! Take this girl down and kill her with a cane, as a warning to others!"
"Yes!" Several guards rushed in from outside the hall and took Xiangni, who was paralyzed on the ground with fear, into custody.
The housekeeper asked Chen Xi for instructions: "Princess, do you think this is a good way to deal with it?"
Chen Xi curved his lips and showed a weak smile: "Butler, is the beating with the stick too harsh? After all, she was also a dowry girl given to me by my father. She was executed on the second day after the wedding. I will do it tomorrow.
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain when I return home.”
She deliberately said it with sincerity and fear, but in fact she just didn't want Xiang Ni to die so soon.
The housekeeper imagined that her words made sense: "Then, what does the princess mean?"
"Destroy her spiritual power, and then just go to the kitchen and chop firewood."
She said it lightly, but little did she know that in this Mingxuan continent where martial arts are respected, the punishment of losing one's spiritual power is more unacceptable than being killed with a stick.
As soon as Xiang Ni heard Chen Xi's words, her face turned pale as a sheet. She struggled hard but could not break free from the restraint of the two fourth-level martial arts masters.
Her bun was loose, and she no longer had the arrogance of the past: "No! Princess, I beg you, don't destroy my spiritual power, no! It would be better to kill me directly."
For her, not having spiritual power means life is worse than death.
Chen Xi frowned lightly and looked at the housekeeper with eyes full of sadness: "Butler, is life without spiritual power really worse than death? Then I..."
She didn't say anything else, but no one could bear to see her weeping look.
