Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 570: Everyone knows

Cining Palace.

Shi Yaoyao is a person who is always cautious in doing things.

This time she met Hongyue, who was smart and guessed her thoughts and did not behave so cooperatively.

Until I saw Hongyue being carried out and pressed on a long bench in the yard.

Only then did Shi Yaoyao dispel her doubts.

She followed the Queen Mother and Xu Rou out of the house and stood under the corridor in the yard.

"Empress Dowager, please let me go. I really don't know..."

Hongyue kept begging for mercy.

The Queen Mother is not a compassionate person.

Even if she does, there is still Xu Rou by her side.

Xu Rou was eager to encourage the Queen Mother to kill or cripple the Hongyue in front of her.

Because in her heart, she is no longer Ning Yuxuan's person.

Even a blade of grass in Ning Yuxuan has a grudge against her.

"Madam Liu, do you think it would be nice to hold someone down like this?"

Seeing that Nanny Liu didn't give the order for anyone to do it, Xu Rou got angry again.

Nanny Liu saw that she could not delay any longer.

She winked at the two maids who were carrying out the execution, indicating that they should use less water when beating the boys with the sticks.

Unfortunately, even the two maids deliberately let him off.

When the first board hit her, Hongyue screamed in pain.

Seeing that Hongyue's begging voice was getting weaker and weaker, Xu Rou and the Queen Mother looked at each other.

Now even they were doubting whether this was true.

But there is someone here who knows the truth of this matter.

"Empress Dowager, this...if the fight continues, this man will die."

Nanny Liu walked up to the Queen Mother and reported to her nervously.

At this time, the Queen Mother was also a little hesitant.

She called this person over from Ning Yuxuan today, and then beat him to death for no reason...

She was not afraid that Concubine Ye would cause trouble for her.

In the Queen Mother's mind, it was just the death of a lowly palace maid.

The key point is that the emperor now lives in Ningyuxuan.

If she killed this Red Moon.

If her son, the emperor, thought she was challenging his authority...

Deep down, the Queen Mother was very afraid of the Emperor.

"Beat her until she says it out loud."

Shi Yaoyao suddenly spoke, which scared Xu Rou.

Because Shi Yaoyao usually doesn't talk much, Xu Rou thought she was a kind-hearted person.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yaoyao was even more cruel than her.

In fact, Xu Rou also wanted to kill Hongyue.

Like the empress dowager, she was also afraid that the emperor would blame her for this matter.

The executioner raised the board again helplessly.

"I said... please stop hitting me, I said..."

Hongyue couldn't bear it anymore and she cried and screamed.

The Queen Mother and Xu Rou couldn't help but look at each other at the same time.

There must be something strange about this Shi Yaoyao.

How could she be so sure that Hongyue would confess if she continued to beat him?

"Bring the man in for me."

Hongyue's lower abdomen is now covered in blood, and it looks like she definitely can't walk on her own.

After hearing the empress dowager's instructions, Nanny Liu felt relieved.

As long as the person is still alive, she can report to Empress Ye.

She really didn't expect it.

Mr. Shi usually looks gentle and polite, but he is actually a cruel and ruthless person.

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

When she has the chance in the future, she will definitely remind Concubine Ye to be on guard against this talented person Shi.

Hongyue was carried into the house by the two maids.

"All of you please go out. If no one tells you to, don't come in."

The Queen Mother was speaking to Jiuer and the other three, because Nanny Liu and the others had already left.

The Queen Mother had to be careful.

Because if the slightest word of their plan leaked out, all their efforts would be wasted.

Jiuer and the other two bowed politely and left the room.

Now there are only these three masters and Hongyue crawling on the ground in the room.

"Tell me everything you know. If you still dare to hide something, it won't be just a matter of a few beatings."

Xu Rou sneered.

"You should know that any one of the three of us can take your life. Do you still dare to hide it from me?"

Hongyue was now shaking with pain all over.

"This servant, this servant was indeed sent by the deposed queen to Ning Yuxuan... to monitor our queen..."

"Then what did you do for the deposed queen? Tell the truth."

Xu Rou felt that her threat had worked.

So she decided to make further efforts and let Hongyue confess everything she had done.

"Your servant...Eunuch Xu ordered me...to bury a doll...in the courtyard of Ning Yuxuan..."

Hongyue's voice was intermittent, and it seemed that she was seriously injured.

"What does that puppet look like?"

Xu Rou asked anxiously.

"That puppet... is made of white silk, and its birth date is written on its back..."

"anything else?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help but speak.

"The words 'Empress Dowager' were written on the front of the doll, and those words were all in red."

As if she had calmed down, Hongyue's speech became much more coherent.

"That bitch whore the deposed queen really deserved to die, but it's a pity that she died too early... If I had known earlier..."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she gasped and cursed angrily.

"Also, the puppet has needles stuck in its heart and head."

Hongyue continued.

Xu Rou now understood everything.

It seems that Concubine Lin did not lie to Shi Yaoyao.

It turned out that all her aunt's discomforts and misfortunes were related to this doll.

"If you have anything else to say, tell me everything."

Xu Rou wanted to hear if there was anything about herself.

She suspected that the reason why she was so unlucky was probably because someone was trying to harm her.

Maybe it was that Concubine Ye who had someone make a puppet to curse her?

"Also, Eunuch Xu asked me to... hide one of our queen's clothes..."

Hongyue said so much at once that she felt a little thirsty.

After all, she was crying and shouting just now, which was a waste of her voice.

"Empress Dowager, could you please get me some water? I'm very thirsty..."

"What's the matter with that dress? I'll have someone give you some water when you're done."

Xu Rou's eyes were filled with excitement.

It seems that this Hongyue has done a lot.

Who knows, her next words might help them further prove the guilt of Concubine Ye.

"That dress...was taken away by Concubine Lin's people."

"Why did Concubine Lin's people take that dress?"

The Queen Mother, who had been silent the whole time, took over her words and asked.

"That is... the head of the Ministry of Punishment died, and Concubine Lin took the dress and framed our queen..."

Hongyue started crying at this time.

"I don't want to betray our queen either. She's been so good to me, but that person...put a sword on my neck..."

"Does anyone else know about this?"

Xu Rou asked excitedly.

Hongyue obviously hesitated.

"Shi Cairen... Shi Cairen knows everything, doesn't he?"
