"So, do you have anything to say?"
There was a hint of coldness in Xiuxia's voice.
The three people kneeling below were very nervous.
Xiao Luzi seemed to be the most calm at this moment because he had been serving in Xianfu Palace for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I have been serving the Empress Hui since I entered the palace. Your Majesty is kind and has always been very caring towards us. I would never have the intention to murder the Empress Hui. Please understand this."
These words were spoken righteously, as if Xiao Luzi was truly loyal to Concubine Hui.
But everyone who knows the inside story knows it.
Concubine Hui has an impatient temper. Even though she is usually generous, she rarely has a good face towards her servants.
What's more, the other party is just a frustrated servant in Xianfu Palace.
Xiu Xia snorted coldly, "Really? If so, why don't you tell me where this gold bracelet under your bed came from?"
With a dull thud, a gold bracelet was thrown in front of Xiao Luzi.
The servants in the palace have a fixed monthly allowance.
Even if there are any extra rewards, they are bestowed by the master.
How could Xiao Luzi, a marginal person in Xianfu Palace, have the chance to get such a good thing?
"How dare you, you little slave! I never gave you this bracelet before. Where did you get it?!"
"How dare you... help others to harm me?!"
Concubine Hui was anxious, but Xiao Luzi's face turned pale immediately.
He never imagined that Xiu Xia would search his residence without any evidence.
He stammered a few times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Come here, drag Xiao Luzi down and give him fifty lashes!"
Qingying shouted softly, and Xiaoluzi's body immediately went limp.
Fifty lashes of the cane, this is not just caning, this is basically beating to death!
But before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, two people rushed in, pulled him and turned to leave.
Xiu Xia snorted coldly and suddenly turned her gaze to Yuan San and the other man.
"Xiao Luzi's hands and feet are not clean, and Eunuch Yuan and Eunuch Li may not be innocent either. I will give you one more chance. Now that you have made it clear, there is still a chance to keep your life. Otherwise..."
The threat is clearly evident in Xiuxia's words.
It was the burly Yuan San who was the first one who couldn't stand it.
"Dong Dong Dong" he kowtowed several times. "Queen, spare my life. I am willing to tell you everything. I am willing to tell you everything!"
"Since you want to say it, then don't try to trick me into eating it up. Just tell me quickly!"
Yuan San begged for mercy and said, "Empress, it was Jin who promised me to do this. The two hundred taels of silver she gave me are still safely kept in the secret compartment under my bed."
"Two hundred taels of silver? You're so bold! For just two hundred taels, you dare to take Concubine Hui's life?"
Yuan San shook his head repeatedly, "No, Queen, Jin promised that after using this medicine, it would only make Queen Hui suffer a little during childbirth, but there would be no danger to her life. That's why I dared to accept it."
idiot.
"Then I wonder what role you, Li Li, played in this matter?"
Li Li trembled.
"Your Majesty, I truly do not know anything about this matter. I beg Your Majesty to enlighten me."
"You're talking nonsense! Jin promised to contact you first. If it weren't for you, where would I have gotten this Achyranthes knee powder? You gave it to me personally!"
Yuan San suddenly became anxious.
He immediately turned his head and stared at Li Li.
It can also be said that he is naive.
How could he possibly clear himself of all responsibility when things had come to this point?
Li Li was speechless.
Qingying no longer had the interest to ask any further questions.
"Xiuxia, go to Qixiang Palace in person and tell Jin to wait at Jingren Palace."
After saying that, she looked at Concubine Hui and said, "You better take a good rest. I will report this matter to the Emperor and will definitely give you an explanation."
How could Concubine Hui not respond?
"Yes, I thank the Queen."
After leaving Jingren Palace, Xiaoluzi in the courtyard was beaten to death, and the ground was covered in red.
Qingying looked calm and stood still for a moment.
"This is the fate of this traitor. Mo Xin, have him taken to the mass grave and clean up the courtyard. Don't let the smell of blood arouse your young mistress."
