Chapter 393 1 Accidentally Got a Husband in a Group 5
Chu Liuyun suddenly reached out his hand without warning and gently stroked Xie Zhiyi's red and swollen cheek.
This abrupt scar is like an ugly ink mark on a beautiful painting, which is particularly glaring to the eye.
She couldn't help but stare at Xie Zhiyi's face, as if it was the first time she looked at him so seriously.
"I've never really appreciated Xie Xiaoshi's face before. Today, after taking a closer look, I realized it's truly stunning. It's a pity that this scar has ruined its original beauty."
Chu Liuyun gently stroked his slightly swollen cheek and sighed softly, as if he felt very sorry for the scar.
Xie Zhiyi was completely stunned. He had never expected that Chu Liuyun would suddenly pay so much attention to him.
He was originally just a tribute sent by the Lin Kingdom in exchange for peace, an insignificant existence.
The Lin Kingdom presented him as a gift to Chu Liuyun, hoping to exchange this for peace between the two countries.
When Chu Liuyun first saw Xie Zhiyi, he was indeed attracted by his beauty, so he took him into the palace and casually gave him the position of a minor servant.
However, since then, Chu Liuyun has never favored him.
Xie Zhiyi was well aware of his humble status and that it was already difficult for him to survive in this deep palace, let alone hope for Chu Liuyun's favor.
In fact, he is quite satisfied with his current life.
Although he did not receive special attention from Chu Liuyun, he was able to avoid many troubles and disputes.
But that was before Qing Ling staged the frame-up. He had thought that his future would be spent living cautiously in this palace.
Unexpectedly, this appearance still caused trouble.
Xie Zhiyi blinked helplessly.
"Who caused the injury on Xie Xiaoshi's face?"
Qing Ling was completely stunned at this time. He widened his eyes and looked at Chu Liuyun in disbelief.
He never thought that Chu Liuyun would ignore him, as if he didn't hear him at all, but looked straight at that bitch.
You know, Chu Liuyun used to be very fond of Qing Ling!
No matter what Qing Ling said, Chu Liuyun would respond gently and even take the initiative to care about his daily life.
But now, everything has become so unfamiliar that Qing Ling can't accept it at all.
Chu Liuyun's face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Are you trying to rebel? Why is no one answering my questions?"
Everyone was frightened by Chu Liuyun's roar. They all lowered their heads in fear, not daring to make a sound.
After a long while, someone raised his hand tremblingly. It was Qing Ling's personal attendant.
His voice was trembling with obvious fear as he said, "Your Majesty, it is this servant..."
In fact, it’s not entirely their fault that the crowd didn’t answer Chu Liuyun’s question.
After all, Chu Liuyun was always friendly when he came to Xiangfeng Palace before, and he had never been so angry as today.
So I didn’t know how to deal with it for a while.
Chu Liuyun obviously did not intend to let the servant go easily.
She snorted coldly and said sternly, "Oh, come here, drag this servant away and beat him to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards rushed out like wolves and tigers, grabbed the servant boy and dragged him out.
The servant boy was so frightened that his face turned pale and pale. He struggled desperately, shouting and yelling, "Your Majesty, please spare me! I was just following your orders! It was Noble Maid Qing who ordered me to beat you. Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Hearing the servant's shout, Chu Liuyun frowned slightly. He raised his hand and shouted, "Stop."
Chu Liuyun's voice was not loud, but the pressure contained in it made the servant boy kneeling on the ground feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "I want to ask you, are you the personal maid of Qing Guishi?"
The servant was trembling all over, lowering her head and not daring to look Chu Liuyun in the eye. She replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I have been following Noble Servant Qing for two years."
Chu Liuyun sneered and asked, "So, you were there when Noble Servant Qing and Little Servant Xie had an argument in the Imperial Garden?"
The maid's face turned even paler. He hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Your Majesty, the person accompanying Noble Servant Qing at that time was not me, but Brother Minglang."
Chu Liuyun's eyes were as sharp as torches. He followed the maid's instructions and looked at Minglang who was standing behind Qingling.
Minglang was pointed at by the servant boy, and Chu Liuyun happened to look over there. He was startled and quickly knelt on the ground.
The emperor looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Are you Minglang?"
Minglang's head hit the ground heavily with a "bang". He did not dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant is Minglang."
The emperor glanced casually at him, then ordered the guards around him, "Come here, drag him away and torture him. Make sure you get the truth about what happened that day."
The guards took the order and rushed forward like wolves and tigers, picking up Minglang like a chicken.
Minglang's face was as pale as paper and his body was shaking constantly. He was obviously very scared.
However, despite this, he never uttered a word of begging for mercy. Perhaps it was because of his loyalty to his master that he would rather endure physical pain than betray Qing Guishi.
Chu Liuyun obviously understood his thoughts, but he sneered in his heart. A delicate man like him could not withstand the methods of the Ministry of Punishment, and he would probably confess soon.
