I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

The old woman who was targeted by him felt as if she was being stared at by a snake. Cold sweat instantly covered her back. She opened her mouth for a long time but no word came out. Seeing Xiao Xizi getting closer and closer, a feeling of despair overwhelmed her and she almost suffocated.

"I'm afraid your master doesn't know about this yet. Maybe he's at home feeling proud of how well he has raised his daughter?" Seeing that she was about to faint, Xiao Xizi instantly lost interest. He turned around to find a place to sit, but saw that the chair that Pei Hongyu had made was dark red, stained with the blood of who knows how many people. He curled his lips in disgust and had to continue standing.

After hearing him accurately reveal the identity of the person behind the scenes, the old women closed their eyes and knew they were doomed to die, and they didn't even have the courage to struggle.

"In fact, you don't have to guess who gave the order. His Majesty knows it very well. However, your master is working for His Majesty after all, and His Majesty doesn't want to take things too far." Xiao Xizi paused and changed his tone, saying coldly, "But he shouldn't have stretched his hand so far. How can Your Majesty turn a blind eye to this?"

"I want you to say something now. If you say it, I will kill you. If you don't say it..."

Xiao Xizi suddenly laughed out loud. His cheerful laughter was out of tune with the dark cell, adding a bit of horror. "You don't want to say anything, it's just that someone in your family is in someone else's hands, and you think that as long as you don't speak, they will be safe."

"Haha, you can rest assured about this." Xiao Xizi raised her eyebrows. Seeing their expressions change drastically, she knew that she had touched their hearts. "Don't worry, as long as you are firm enough in your words, they will come in and gather with you sooner or later."

"Don't say that I'm unkind when the time comes."

"You!" An old woman's eyes were bloodshot as she struggled fiercely with the rope. Even though the iron chain had already cut into her flesh, she seemed to feel no pain at all.

"We've given you a chance." Xiao Xizi gently wiped the blood off his face, calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean. His patience finally ran out. "Goodbye."

Pei Hongyu was the first to stand up when he heard the door open. The anger on his face had long gone, replaced by a servile figure, "Eunuch Li, what's going on inside?"

Xiao Xizi didn't look at him and walked out on his own. His expression was not very good. "Let's interrogate him again. If you still don't confess within one stick of incense, you'll be kept here."

"Don't kill them. We have to ask His Majesty before we decide how to deal with these people."

"Yes, Eunuch Li, don't worry, we are all professionals in this kind of work!" Pei Hongyu smiled and waved for them to go in and continue.

"By the way, I see you have some stuff next to you, so don't hide it, Eunuch Pei. Otherwise, when you go out, people will say you are incompetent."

"Don't worry!" Pei Hongyu agreed happily with a smile on his face: "We will definitely give them something powerful to see."

"We feel relieved with Eunuch Pei's words." Xiao Xizi nodded, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to see him off, and left with his people.

Pei Hongyu stood there and snorted twice at his back. When he returned to the cell, his face looked even more unhappy, and even the way he looked at people was a little cruel.

"Don't blame me. We are doing everything according to the orders of the superiors. When you go to hell, don't blame me for making you go unpleasantly!"

After Xiao Xizi's trouble for a while, Xiao Heng still stayed with Concubine Shu. He finally put Concubine Shu to sleep. Looking at the person in his arms with two tear marks on her sleeping face, the anger in his heart became even more difficult to suppress.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Xizi dismissed his attendants and said softly, "Those old women have made up their minds not to say a word."

"If you don't want to tell me, I'll beat you! Where's Pei Hongyu? Do I keep them here just to eat their food?"

"Eunuch Pei has done his best." Although Xiao Xizi didn't care about Pei Hongyu scolding him behind his back, it didn't mean that he had to accept it silently.

Sure enough, Xiao Heng became even angrier when he heard him say that. If there wasn't someone sleeping in his arms, he would have smashed the cup long ago.

"Tell him that if I don't hear what I want to hear, he doesn't need to do it anymore and should get out as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Xiao Xizi spoke to comfort him, signaling Xiao Heng to pay attention to the concubine in his arms. He gestured to the door and said, "Your Majesty, I think even if the truth is revealed during the interrogation, it may not be a good thing."

Xiao Heng glanced at him, gently placed Concubine Shu on the bed, and followed him out. As soon as he stood still, he turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I just think that it's not that important who this person is. On the contrary, it will be difficult for Your Majesty if you really find out who this person is." Xiao Xizi paused, and seeing that Xiao Heng looked unhappy, he tried another way to persuade him: "Those maids were brought by Concubine Shu from home. Let's not talk about whether this matter was instigated by the Gu family. Even if it really has nothing to do with them, these maids were born in the Gu family. Can Your Majesty get away with it?"

"Your Majesty, you are in need of someone right now, and Lord Gu is willing to support your cause. It is really the wrong time to punish him."

Xiao Heng obviously understood what he meant, but his expression was still not very good, and he just looked more thoughtful, "Should I swallow this anger?"

"When will it be their turn to have the final say in the real palace?"

"I'm not asking you to keep silent, it's just not the right time." Xiao Xizi paused and said, "Or maybe this is actually a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"It's a good thing. Although Lord Gu supported you this time, it was only because someone from the Gu family was on the list of successful candidates. Next time, he will just stand aside and not care about anything that has nothing to do with him."

"But things are different now. He has made a mistake at your hands. Doesn't it depend on your Majesty's will as to how to deal with him?"

Xiao Xizi suddenly remembered what Su Minglang said, and said it in a different way, "Now that this man is in your Majesty's hands, your Majesty has the handle. Your Majesty, are you still afraid that Lord Gu will not stand on the same side with you?"

"You mean that not only can I not kill them, but I have to keep them in the palace?"

"In that case, you might as well send these people back." Xiao Xizi changed Su Minglang's idea and said it in a different way: "You think what you want is the true submission of the ministers, not their fear, right?"

"He committed a crime, but you didn't punish him but only gave him some advice. I think Lord Gu is not a heartless person and can understand your majesty's intentions."
