Chapter 310: Extra 3: After the Marriage (Part 2)

Cheng Nianying's eyes passed over the eunuch: "You guys deal with it."

Xiao Dong nodded and immediately dragged the man away.

The eunuch was now frightened and quickly cried out, "It's unfair, it's unfair!"

Xiao Dong said anxiously, "He is not wronged! I did not frame him!"

"Well, I believe you."

"I caught the medicine in his hand. It was the poison used in the building before, so I recognized it at a glance. I really didn't frame him..." Xiao Dong's voice suddenly paused, "You... Your Majesty, do you believe me?"

"Yeah, I believe in Wangyue too."

Wangyue smiled happily and grabbed the eunuch's left leg: "Chop off your toes too."

The eunuch was so frightened that he quickly changed his words: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

Cheng Nianying waved her hand: "It doesn't matter. If they fail to meet him once, they will probably send someone else to do it. The same goes for the next one to be interrogated."

The eunuch looked desperate.

This also made the other palace maids around him terrified and they dared not offend the new emperor.

Cheng Nianying guessed correctly.

After the eunuch disappeared silently from the palace, the mastermind behind it was indeed panicked.

She waited and waited, waiting for the new emperor to come and question her. But the new emperor never came. She couldn't stand this unbearable wait, so she sent another palace maid.

Cheng Nianying was rushing out of the palace. After catching the criminal red-handed, she handed it to Wangyue and Xiaodong.

In Xiao Dong's eyes, these captured people are the steps for his brother to achieve a happy new life. How dare he neglect them?

When Cheng Nianying returned to the palace, the two were washing the blood off their hands in a basin of water in the hall.

Cheng Nianying wondered, "Why don't you get another basin of water?"

Wangyue said, "What a waste."

Cheng Nianying was lost in thought, thinking back to the time when she was in Shaoqu Tower. Everything in the tower was expensive, and everything required money in exchange.

I couldn't bear to ask for an extra basin of water.

But now is not the past.

"I am the emperor, I am very rich. It's just one more basin of water, what's the waste? Just like you eat a few more bowls of rice every day, it's not a waste."

The moon-gazing chicken nodded its head in a pecking-at-the-moon manner, its eyes curved into the shape of crescent moons.

Cheng Nianying suddenly remembered and said, "You are a palace lady, and you have a monthly salary."

Xiao Dong asked hesitantly, "What about me?"

"Your name is registered under the Imperial Guards, naturally."

Xiao Dong was delighted but didn't show it on his face. He just wanted to catch a few more so that he could ask if he could ask his brother to also be included in the list of the imperial guards.

They suppressed their excitement and talked to Cheng Nianying about the eunuch they had captured this time. He confessed who he belonged to before they even tortured him.

Cheng Nianying immediately said, "Then throw his arms and legs into the palace of that concubine, quietly at night."

No one knows how to take advantage of the night better than a killer.

Wangyue and Xiaodong nodded vigorously.

The next day, news spread from the palace that a concubine had gone mad with fright.

The court officials couldn't help but discuss it privately.

"What frightened you so much?"

"He said he was frightened mad by the eunuchs serving in his own palace."

"What did this eunuch do?"

"I don't know. This eunuch should be killed for frightening his master."

While they were talking, they didn't realize that the eunuch had already been torn into pieces, which was why the concubine was frightened to death.

The news of the concubine's madness fermented for a while before Cheng Nianying finally went to meet the remaining concubines.

The deceased old emperor had many children, so his harem was naturally quite prosperous.

Cheng Nianying walked into a group of women. They probably didn't want to lose face, so they dressed up very formally.

Some were old, some were young, and all looked at Cheng Nianying with dissatisfaction. Only those without children lowered their heads and did not look at Cheng Nianying.

Cheng Nianying's ascension to the throne cut off some people's delusions, but it also inevitably fueled some people's ambitions.

The concubines only then realized that since Cheng Nianying could become emperor, why couldn't their daughters do the same?

When you have too many thoughts, you will have bad intentions.

Cheng Nianying's eyes swept over them, and when they stood up to greet him, she said, "Do you want to accompany the late emperor?"

The toffees froze in place, and it took them a while to recover from the instinctive shock of that moment.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Your Majesty is dissatisfied with us?"

"It's widely rumored that Your Majesty is extremely harsh towards his uncles and aunts. Is Your Majesty determined to be a heartless and ungrateful person?"

Cheng Nianying said: "Yes."

Their accusing voices stopped abruptly, and they almost thought they had heard wrongly.

What did she say?

She said "yes"?

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the historians will write all this down?"

"He writes what he writes."

The concubines choked.

Is there anyone who doesn’t care about his reputation after death?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, are you going to be a female tyrant?" One concubine was so angry that her voice was shaking.

Cheng Nianying was puzzled: "What is a tyrant? A tyrant is one who oppresses the people with harsh policies. You are nobles, not commoners."

The concubines were so angry that they almost lost their minds.

It doesn’t make sense! It doesn’t make sense! It doesn’t make sense at all!

Should a noble person be bullied by her?

Before they could catch their breath, Cheng Nianying asked again, "Do you want to accompany the late emperor?"

Is this a threat?

Was the previously crazy Concubine He being killed as a warning to others?

The expressions on the concubines' faces changed.

"King Liang... How could King Liang allow you to act like this?" someone shouted, beating his chest.

Cheng Nianying said slowly: "My father is different from me. He is upright and kind."

Yeah yeah!

"But he listens to me."

“…”

Cheng Nianying didn't want to talk to them any more and was about to leave immediately: "Whenever you want to accompany the late emperor, send someone here and I'll let you know."

The toffees shuddered.

"Wait!" someone screamed.

Cheng Nianying paused and politely turned her head to see if she had anything else to say.

The man stared at Cheng Nianying's belly: "You...you are pregnant, right?"

Cheng Nianying was not surprised either.

Mother Chu Lin could see it at a glance, which shows that women who have given birth are more sensitive in this regard.

It couldn't be told to outsiders earlier because the early fetus was unstable and Fu Yi was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to harm him.

Now, no matter how big the robe is, it is difficult to cover her pregnancy.

Cheng Nianying was silent for a moment, and the man thought she was frightened. He took two quick steps forward and smiled sarcastically, "Your Majesty's background is quite strange."

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang suddenly had an only daughter. Prince Liang has not even married yet."

"And now, Your Majesty has also followed his mother's example? Unknowingly, he has also fathered this illegitimate child?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Cheng Nianying could get angry, Xiao Dong had already kicked her to the ground.

Wangyue followed up with a serious scolding: "Disrespectful!"

Xiao Dong felt that this was not enough and added, "He deserves to be killed!"

The man was kicked and vomited blood when he got up, his face full of fear.

The others came to their senses and thanked her for pointing this out, so they started talking: "Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, how come you are pregnant?"

"If his origins are still unknown, how can he be considered part of the royal bloodline?"

As they spoke, they dodged backwards, fearing that they would be kicked too.

Xiao Dong thought it was ridiculous.

Can they still hide?

But this time, Cheng Nianying raised her hand, gently grabbed Xiao Dong's arm, and motioned him to go to the side.

Cheng Nianying actually didn't understand what they were so happy about.

Apart from the fact that her mother's words made her unhappy, could the rest of her words attack her in the slightest?

Or she would pull out their tongues later, which would hurt them more.

Cheng Nianying said openly, "It's Fu Yi's."

Fu Yi just couldn't enter the palace, but he wasn't someone who couldn't stand the light.

She said, "If you like to say that, then go to Prince Danshuo and tell him that he has an illegitimate child."
