Chapter 202: Preemptive strike, dig another pit
Immediately afterwards, the dull sound of the stick hitting the body was heard, which made people shudder.
Xu Yan'er tightly grasped Xiao Yan'an's arm, feeling a little scared.
Her fate was almost the same as those palace maids!
The sound of the sticks stopped for a moment.
"Aren't you going to confess yet?" the eunuch asked in a shrill voice.
It was completely silent outside, not even a sound of shouting. The scene was extremely weird.
Aren’t these palace maids human?
It hurt so much, but no one screamed!
The simple sentence "The imperial capital is not as good as Huaiyang" is best presented at this moment.
"Keep fighting!" the eunuch's voice sounded again.
The stick fell again.
In a short while, he had already hit him with more than twenty sticks.
"I confess! I confess!" one of them shouted miserably.
As she spoke, blood kept coming out of her mouth.
The other people's faces showed a hint of reaction.
Maybe grateful, or reluctant, or secretly happy...
If someone pleads guilty, the rest can live.
"It was this servant... this servant stole it."
Everyone in the hall heard it too.
Lichun's expression suddenly changed, "This bitch! It's actually her!"
Nanny Tian immediately knelt down and said, "Princess, Madam Crown Prince, I was negligent! Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. I know I was wrong and will definitely go to the Imperial Concubine to accept the punishment."
"Princess, Madam Crown Prince, I will report this matter truthfully to the Imperial Concubine." Lichun added.
Ji Chuhe's tense mood finally relaxed.
She won the bet.
The palace maid who confessed was dragged in by two eunuchs. They saw that her lumbar vertebrae had been broken and she could only lie on the ground.
The blood and tears on his face mixed together, and his face was twisted in pain.
Dong Ling immediately raised her hands and covered her eyes.
Xu Yan'er also buried her head in Xiao Yan'an's back.
"How can you still be alive after committing such a serious crime?" Lichun looked at the two eunuchs, his eyes full of anger.
The two eunuchs immediately understood, and one of them stepped forward, grabbed the maid's head and twisted it hard.
"Crack!" The neck was broken directly, and the face was strangely facing the back of the head.
"Ah!" Xu Yan'er screamed in horror.
Dong Ling could only stand steadily by holding on to the armrests of the chair.
Ji Chuhe remained calm as he sat in the upper seat with the princess, watching the scene. However, some emotions flashed across their eyes.
That is a living human life!
Concubine Luo's people are so cruel and ruthless!
"The matter has been investigated clearly and the criminal has been dealt with. Please calm down, Princess and Crown Prince's wife." Lichun spoke in a calm tone and respectful attitude.
The body of the palace maid who was executed by her order was lying in a strange posture less than one step away from her feet, like a piece of rag that had been casually crumpled by someone.
She can treat it as air.
Ji Chuhe suddenly stood up, walked forward and held Lichun's hand affectionately.
Lichun was confused and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.
Ji Chuhe increased his strength and didn't give her any chance.
"Aunt, it's because of your keen observation that we avoided a misunderstanding." Ji Chuhe said with a smile.
"Thank you for your praise, Madam Sir. This is what I should do." Lichun pulled her hand back with difficulty.
Ji Chuhe held it again, "Aunt, the Imperial Concubine is considerate of our past relationship, and so is my mother. If this matter gets out, it will definitely damage the Imperial Concubine's dignity, and I'm even more afraid that someone will exaggerate and question the Imperial Concubine's ability to assist in managing the six palaces."
Lichun’s face froze.
They have already made some concessions, doesn't Ji Chuhe want to give up?
“My mother, out of consideration for our past friendship, naturally doesn’t want to see the Imperial Concubine being questioned. So, don’t let any word of this matter get out!” Ji Chuhe looked like she was thinking completely about the Imperial Concubine.
Lichun clenched his teeth.
What a great prince’s wife!
Afraid that they would take advantage of the situation to throw dirty water on the Huaiyang Palace, he took the initiative.
Isn't this a naked threat?
How dare she!
"Mother, it's getting late. We should go back to Duke Rong's Mansion." Ji Chuhe turned and said to the princess.
"Pack up and leave the palace immediately." The princess gave an order.
The people in Huaiyang Palace immediately became busy.
"Princess, Madam Crown Prince, I will take my leave first." Lichun said, turned around and left.
"Aunt!" Ji Chuhe immediately stopped her, "Aunt, please wait a little longer until the people in the palace have packed up their things, in case something is lost in the palace again. With your aunt as a witness for us, we can feel at ease."
Lichun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and nodded, "Okay, I will follow the orders of the Crown Prince's wife."
"Aunt is the Imperial Concubine's chief maid. How dare I give orders to her? I am just asking her for a small favor, all because of our past friendship." Ji Chuhe deliberately emphasized the words "past friendship".
Lichun's expression almost got out of control, but he finally managed to calm down and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Yes."
The people in Huaiyang Palace felt relieved and admired when they saw their lady's behavior!
Everyone was as passionate as if they were injected with chicken blood, and their backs were straight.
Outside the palace gate, several young masters of the Rong family were waiting anxiously.
"Brother, why have Xiaowu and the others not come out yet after being in there for so long? Are we really just going to wait here like this?" The first one to lose his composure was the fourth brother from Congwu.
Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the palace.
Princess Huaiyang was seen walking in front, leading a group of people.
"Fourth brother, come out!"
They looked ahead and found that the people in Huaiyang Palace were full of energy, without any panic or embarrassment. Their fifth sister came out with a team of people with great momentum.
What shocked them even more was that Ji Chuhe actually enthusiastically held the hand of the head maid in Concubine Luo's palace with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Lichun, please convey my mother and I's gratitude to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is so thoughtful that she even gave snacks to the servants of the Huaiyang Palace." Ji Chuhe's voice was so loud that even the palace maids and eunuchs on duty could hear it.
Lichun's face froze again.
I feel like it's impossible for Ji Chuhe to say something like this all of a sudden. He must be planning something again!
However, for a moment, she couldn't react and wonder what Ji Chuhe was planning.
"Don't worry, Madam Crown Prince. I will definitely convey this to the Imperial Concubine." Lichun could only answer in agreement.
Concubine Luo gave snacks to the servants of Huaiyang Palace?
The four uncles were so surprised that their jaws were about to dislocate.
Is there any poison in the snack?
No, why is this picture so weird!
"Mother, I want to ride with you." Ji Chuhe took the initiative to walk towards the princess.
"Okay." The princess nodded.
As soon as the princess and Ji Chuhe got on the carriage, Xiao Yan'an looked at Xu Yan'er and Dong Ling.
"You two will ride together, and I will ride with my uncles."
"Yes." Dong Ling replied readily and turned to get on the carriage.
Xu Yan'er looked at Xiao Yan'an with sticky eyes. Now she just wanted to stay with Xiao Yan'an all the time, so that she would feel safe.
"Aunt Xu, why don't you get in the car? Are you reluctant to leave this palace?" Dong Ling shouted through the car window.
Xu Yan'er's body couldn't help but tremble!
She couldn't bear to leave a ghost! She almost lost her life here!
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Xiao Yan'an patted Xu Yan'er's shoulder to comfort her.
Xu Yan'er sniffed, held back the tears that were about to fall, turned around and got on the carriage.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of my four uncles?" Xu Yan'er asked angrily.
"You still remember to leave a good impression in front of your uncles! Just because of the shameless way you were pestering the prince just now, it's annoying!" Dong Ling retorted unceremoniously.
