Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight
Chapter 13 The Reason for No Blood
"Xu Ling'er's foundation was damaged when Bixiang aborted her baby, and since Bixiang often made things difficult for her, her health has not been very good.
When Bixiang left Beijing, Xu Ling'er was breathing out more than breathing in. Perhaps because she was afraid that you would know, Bixiang told you before she left that if someone died, just drag them away and bury them without reporting it.
I also went to the burial site, but the body had already decayed, and I couldn't tell if it was Xu Ling'er."
In the imperial study, the secret guard reported the situation truthfully.
The emperor was so angry that he fell backwards.
He originally thought that he could still have Xu Ling'er as a hostage, but who would have thought that Xu Ling'er was tortured to death by Bixiang, and Bixiang was so bold that she dared to hide it from him.
He angrily pointed at Cao Ying's nose and cursed, "This is the good daughter you raised. This is what you call filial piety."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no right to defend myself. I am willing to personally go to Liangzhou to clear your name."
Cao Ying knew that Bixiang bullied Xu Ling'er, but because Xu Ling'er was disliked by the emperor and had become a useless chess piece, she didn't bother to pay attention and was only happy to make her daughter happy.
She also knew that although Bixiang held a grudge, she was not without sense of propriety. Even if she really killed Xu Linger by accident, she would tell her mother about it in time and would not hide it from her.
It's all such a coincidence.
But the emperor would not listen to her explanation at this time, so she could only find out the truth first and present the evidence to the emperor.
Moreover, she wants to avenge her daughter.
The emperor cared about his reputation and took a deep breath, "If you can't do it well, you don't have to sit in the position of chief steward in front of the emperor."
Cao Ying's body swayed slightly.
For some reasons, the emperor never acknowledged that she was his woman, so she had to disguise herself as a eunuch and worked hard to climb to the position of chief steward so that she could stay by his side.
She had already lost her daughter and could not lose this position as well.
Just as he was about to express his determination, he heard the emperor say, "You don't have to go to Liangzhou. Tell the public that Bixiang has hysteria.
Back then, they were abducted by human traffickers, and her mother had already died at their hands. Xu An's reason for rebellion is pure nonsense."
If Cao Ying was recognized in Liangzhou, it would prove that he had stolen someone else's wife.
What's more, he knew very well that Cao Ying wanted to avenge Bixiang. Qiao Xi had already neglected his business for Bixiang. Cao Ying would only instigate her if he went. The emperor didn't want Cao Ying to ruin his plans out of selfish motives.
"His Majesty……"
Cao Ying was shocked beyond words.
she died?
But the emperor didn't even glance at her. He lowered his head and picked up the pen to write two imperial edicts.
Now that Bixiang is dead, Qiao Xi has no more spies around him, so he has to place someone else around Qiao Xi.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered an old story and asked Cao Ying, "Is the nanny who served Qiao Xi back then still in Ji Chuan's house?"
"Yes, five years ago, when Ji Chuan came to Beijing, he wanted to ask for Nanny Xi to teach Ji Yao. Qiao Xi's memory had just been altered at that time, and you were about to send the people around her away, so you assigned Nanny Liu to the Ji family."
The nanny's surname was Liu. The emperor arranged for her to take care of Qiao Xi when she entered the palace at the age of six.
But why did His Majesty suddenly mention Madam Liu...
Cao Ying understood the reason the next moment, "Are you worried that Qiao Xi and Su Heting will become a real couple?"
All virgins will have their first bleeding.
But Qiao Xi won’t have that.
If she and Su Heting were truly married but didn't have her period, she might become suspicious. If she found Madam Liu and got to the bottom of it, some things would become unconcealable.
"I will send a message to Ji Chuan right away, asking him to kill Madam Liu."
She no longer cared about other emotions. On the matter of Qiao Xi, she and the emperor were on the same side...
Jifu in southern Xinjiang.
Nanny Liu sneaked out of the back door of Ji's mansion.
A quarter of an hour ago, she received a letter saying that her nephew had lost money in a gambling house and was being chased by the debt collectors.
If he doesn't pay back the money, he will chop off his nephew's hand.
She was the nanny of Ji Yao, the daughter of the Ji family. She was free to go out in the past and was highly regarded by the Ji family.
But now Ji Yao was detained by the King of Jiangbei, Liangzhou rebelled again, and the Ji Mansion was in a dark cloud. Nanny Ji did not want to bring bad luck to Ji Chuan.
But he was the only descendant left in her mother's family, and she was counting on him to take care of her in her old age, so she had to save him. Therefore, she did not tell the Ji family and secretly left the house.
Nanny Liu finally arrived at her nephew's house after much haste. Before she knocked on the door, it was opened from the inside.
A slender hand pulled her in.
As soon as Madam Liu opened her mouth, before a word came out, a long sword was placed on her neck.
"Madame Liu, how are you?"
"County... Princess?"
Aunt Liu was shocked. "Why are you here?"
Everyone in the world knows that Qiao Xi was abducted by the King of Jiangbei and became the Princess of Jiangbei. Now that she is newly married, she should be in Jiangbei at this time.
Thinking of Qiao Xi's new marriage, Madam Liu suddenly felt something was wrong.
The person is not good!
Qiao Xi locked the door and motioned for Madam Liu to go inside. She said slowly, "Of course I came here specifically to look for Madam Liu."
"What do you want from me?"
Madam Liu feigned composure and hurried into the room. Seeing no one in the hall, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you send me this letter in my nephew's name? How did the princess know I was here?"
Nanny Liu asked tentatively.
It was only after Qiao Xi cooperated with Ji Chuan in her previous life that she learned that the nanny who had left the palace and returned home had actually arrived at Ji Chuan's house.
After what happened on the wedding night, she suspected that it was all done by Madam Liu, who was instructed by the emperor.
Some time ago, after Su Heting performed such a scene with her at Liangzhou Inn, the two of them boarded the carriage back to northern Xinjiang, but Su Heting quietly left halfway.
Qiao Xi was also thinking about the conspiracy behind the Luohong incident, so she followed Su Heting's example and found a servant to impersonate her, and got on a carriage back to northern Xinjiang, while she herself came to southern Xinjiang.
"Why does Mammy keep emphasizing to me the issue of women losing their menstruation?"
Qiao Xi got straight to the point, "What did Mammy do to me back then?"
This is indeed the case.
Madam Liu's heart tightened. "How come I don't understand what the princess is saying?"
Qiao Xi kicked with her toes, and a stool hit the door next to her. The door was opened by the stool. She walked towards the room with a sword against Madam Liu. "Madam, you better understand."
When Madam Liu was forced to go to the room, she saw her nephew Liu Cai tied to a chair with his eyes closed.
A bamboo green snake coiled above his head, spitting its venom into his ears. Between his legs squatted a grinning fox, its fangs pointed at the man's vitals.
The fox turned to look at Madam Liu, with a gleam in his eyes, as if saying, if you don't cooperate, I will bite off his life.
When Aunt Liu saw this, her face turned pale with fright. Seeing that her nephew didn't react, she asked in panic, "What did you do to him?"
"She's just fainted from shock for now. If Madam doesn't cooperate, then it's hard to say."
Qiao Xi had inquired and found out that this was the only nephew left in Liu Ma's family, and she valued him very much.
"Have you ever thought about this, Madam? If the people behind me knew I was newly married, they would definitely be worried that I would come after you and ask Ji Chuan to silence you.
If you tell the truth, I will spare your nephew's life and give you a good burial. If you insist on not understanding, then I will watch him suffer and die first, and then you will die."
The red fox was very smart. Without waiting for Qiao Xi's instructions, its fangs were one step closer to Liu Cai's crotch.
Aunt Lu jumped directly onto Aunt Liu's arm and hissed at her face.
"No, no, I said."
Madam Liu begged for mercy, "As a servant, I obey my master in everything. Princess, I have no choice but to do this."
Qiao Xi increased the force of his sword and said coldly, "Continue."
"Hiss."
"Ow."
The two elders hurried to cooperate.
Nanny Liu did not dare to be evasive, as she knew that what Qiao Xi said was true. In the eyes of the emperor, the lives of servants like them were worthless, and the emperor would not hesitate.
"When you first came to Kuishui, the Emperor summoned me and asked me to learn a set of massage techniques from General Cao."
Matron Liu glanced at Qiao Xi cautiously. "That technique can damage a woman's chastity by pressing on her lower abdomen."
(When I was a child, I heard an old man telling a story and he mentioned this technique. It’s necessary for the plot, but there’s no basis for it. Please don’t study it. Thank you.)
Qiao Xi recalled that the first time she came to Kuishui, she felt very uncomfortable and eventually fainted.
At that time, I thought it was caused by abdominal pain, but now it seems that her fainting was also man-made.
"Did you drug me?"
Madam Liu lowered her eyes guiltily, "Yes, it will be easier for me to act if you faint."
There was a cold look in Qiao Xi's eyes.
She was only fourteen years old when she came to Kuishui. At that time, the emperor still valued the prince, at least on the surface.
But it turned out that the emperor had evil intentions at that time.
"Why did he do this?"
