After My Mind Was Read, the Entire Court Trembled

Shen Zhiyi transmigrated and became the Emperor's Chamberlain for Diaries, dedicated to recording the Emperor's words and actions. Unfortunately, the Emperor was an old man, so Shen Zhiyi c...

Chapter 53: The Two Faces of Concubine Gao De

【But what a good way to change positions. The wicked should try the crimes they have committed before being judged. 】

【Old Emperor, I support you. 】

The old emperor raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction. When he saw the revenge method that Shen Zhiyi had thought of, he knew that this kid was the same as him.

I'm just a little timid.

Afterwards, the old emperor kept his word and let Shen Zhiyi have a good experience of being put in a sack and beaten by a prince.

[Great, this may be the only time in my life. I'm sorry, King Rui, I'll step on you again.]

【Ah! 】

Prince Rui, curled up in a sack, cursed all of Shen Zhiyi’s eight generations of ancestors.

Because of Shen Zhiyi's strong request, she and the sack were the only ones in this small room.

But others are curious.

The old emperor, the chief minister of the Dali Temple, and the left and right junior ministers were all hiding where Shen Zhiyi couldn't see and watching this scene.

The Dali Temple Minister even felt itchy to do something.

Beating the prince is a great favor from the emperor.

The old emperor glanced at the Dali Temple Minister.

"Don't even think about it. I still have to save my dignity."

"Your two children are already in this state, and you still plan to have one..."

The old emperor slapped the Dali Temple Minister on the back of the head.

The Dali Temple Minister was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what about the memorial I submitted earlier?"

"You start investigating."

"I obey your order!"

The Dali Temple official bowed to the old emperor, and Shen Zhiyi inside was also sweating and tired from the beating.

The old emperor was ready to take Shen Zhiyi away. After all, the scene that followed was not something a little girl who had never seen bloody scenes could witness.

"Remember, King Rui must drink the medicine."

"I will keep this in mind."

*

The old emperor did not stay in the Dali Temple prison for long, because Concubine Gao De came to his house after she learned that her son was imprisoned.

He left in a hurry with Shen Zhiyi, Zhang Sheren and Chen Decai.

[I seemed to see Princess Yonghe when I came out just now. 】

【But it seems to be missing an arm. 】

It's only been a few days, how come he's missing an arm?

Thinking of the gloomy appearance in the prison, Shen Zhiyi shuddered deeply, but he couldn't help but find out the reason why Princess Yonghe lost her arm.

This was so shocking that I almost vomited out my overnight meal.

[Yue, Princess Yonghe's lunch today is the arm that was cut off this morning. ]

Zhang Sheren's face turned pale and he felt like vomiting.

What a terrible emperor.

Don't get up, that's really cruel.

The old emperor looked at Shen Zhiyi worriedly, who told you to be so curious.

He looked at Zhang Sheren with contempt again, saying that the young man still needed to practice more.

[Oh my god, so fierce! ]

Zhang Sheren closed his eyes and said, "Shen Zhiyi, don't look at the situation in the prison anymore!"

He admitted that he was timid and cowardly.

[Is this how people are forced to take medicine in prison? ]

[Hahaha, this Prince Rui was tied up like a thousand-year-old turtle, and the jailer poured medicine directly into his mouth. What kind of medicine is this, arsenic? ]

Shen Zhiyi scratched the back of her head. She hadn't seen the old emperor order the poisoned wine to be given to Prince Rui.

[Pfft, this is a drug that will make people lose face for the rest of their lives...]

Zhang Sheren: What the hell?

The old emperor noticed that Zhang Sheren didn't understand, and couldn't help but look down.

Zhang Sheren swallowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have a family and I like men. No, I like women."

The old emperor sneered. Why did he think Zhang Sheren was so clever before?

It's probably an illusion.

[The old emperor's medicine is good. I suggest that it be promoted nationwide. ]

[For those rapists, this kind of medicine should be used to achieve true castration! ]

Shen Zhiyi became more and more excited as he spoke.

[In fact, physical castration is not a bad idea, just confiscate the tools used to commit the crime, but it seems that some places consider it inhumane, thinking that people with physical disabilities are more likely to retaliate against social psychopaths.]

Chen Decai: He didn’t, don’t spread rumors!

Seeing the gazes from the old emperor and Zhang Sheren, Chen Decai felt that even if he had eight mouths, he would not be able to explain himself.

Your Majesty, I am loyal to you!

The old emperor smiled, and a group of people came to the Zichen Palace while Shen Zhiyi was shocked.

Concubine Gao De has been kneeling for some time.

As soon as she saw the old emperor coming, Concubine Gao De took out a dagger and put it against her neck.

"Your Majesty, if you don't release my son today, I will die in front of you today."

The old emperor stood there and watched Concubine Gao De's performance quietly.

Seeing that the old emperor didn't say anything, Concubine Gao De changed her tactics and held a cup of poisoned wine in her hand.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that I dare not drink?"

The old emperor raised his hand.

The Dragon Scale Guards in the dark were very fast, and Shen Zhiyi saw a shadow clearly. The next second, the poisoned wine in Concubine Gao De's hand disappeared, and the dagger also disappeared.

Concubine Gao De took out another piece of white silk.

The old emperor leaned to the side and said, "Do you need me to invite you in? After all, there are no beams outside for you to use."

“Puff.”

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly lowered his head.

[I can't hold it anymore. My stomach hurts because of holding back my laughter. Old Emperor, you are so skilled at this that it makes me feel distressed. Hahahaha.]

The old emperor's mouth twitched.

Of course.

This is all based on experience.

[So this is how the old emperor trained. ]

[When Concubine Gao De switched to manic mode and wanted to beat people or commit suicide at any time, the old emperor thought that Concubine Gao De was playing a trick on him. Until Concubine Gao De really committed suicide by cutting her wrists, and a lot of blood flowed on the old emperor, which scared the old emperor.]

[You thought she was just joking with you, but actually she was serious. ]

It’s all tears if I talk too much.

The old emperor sighed slightly and watched as they tried to come up with different ways to commit suicide. In the end, the weapons were taken away one by one by the Dragon Scale Guards.

[On the 24th, Concubine Gao De attempted suicide several times outside the Purple Palace, using methods ranging from cutting her own throat, drinking poisoned wine, and using white silk. The experienced and wise Emperor resolved all of them.]

The old emperor was in a complicated mood, not knowing whether Shen Zhiyi's words were praising him or criticizing him.

When Concubine Gao De saw that she had failed in her suicide attempts many times, she became so angry that she fainted.

The old emperor calmly asked the eunuch to call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician simply gave Concubine Gao De three injections and she woke up.

After waking up, Concubine Gao De did not become hysterical like before, but knelt down and sobbed quietly.

[Uh, is this the depressed version of Concubine Gao De? ]

The old emperor began to have a headache. It was difficult to deal with Concubine Gao De in this state.

"Your Majesty, since you are unwilling to let our child go, I will take my leave."

After saying this, Concubine Gao De knelt down and left, just like the weak Lin Daiyu.

[Just, just leave like this? ]

The old emperor felt deeply powerless, thinking that it was all due to the sins he had committed in his youth.

"Have someone watch her, don't let her die."

Even if I have to die, I won't die now.
