Chapter 203: Piercing the Ribs

Jiang Xianhao nodded, and immediately hugged Fu Shiyu in his arms, sobbing, "Okay, I'll wait for you, you must come back soon."

However, Jiang Xianhao didn't know it at that time.

Fu Shiyu's departure was a farewell forever and she never came back.

But she never expected that she would be able to see this jade pendant in her lifetime.

A tear flowed from Jiang Xianhao's eyes, followed by a second, and a third...

Li Ce looked up at Jiang Xianhao's tearful face and felt a little helpless.

"Your Majesty..."

Li Ce reminded Jiang Xianhao in a trembling voice, and Jiang Xianhao suddenly woke up. He wiped his tears in a panic to cover up his loss of composure.

When she calmed down, her eyes fell on Li Ce's face again.

"Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Li Ce immediately said, "I got it from the wet nurse who took Miss Gu away that year."

Jiang Xianhao immediately asked, "How old is that nanny now?"

Li Ce recalled.

"He was probably in his fifties or sixties, and looked very old.

She doesn't seem to be in good health, so there are people taking care of her, and there are even people watching over her in the dark."

"I just went in and asked a few questions, but someone noticed me right away.

I got this jade pendant by accident when I was in a panic."

"Did you get it by accident?"

How could such an important thing be put out in the open?

Since they were able to find Li Ce's whereabouts, how could they let him take the jade pendant easily?

I guess the other party did it on purpose.

Just waiting for this jade pendant to fall into her hands!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but sigh.

"Li Ce, do you know..."

Before Jiang Xianhao could finish her words, Li Ce immediately interrupted her and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've caught a cold lately and haven't been feeling well. I've been resting at home. I haven't seen Your Majesty and I don't know what happened. You can rest assured."

Jiang Xianhao nodded, then waved his hand and let Li Ce leave.

She was not worried that Li Ce would tell Emperor Rongcheng about these things.

She knew Li Ce well. Although he was loyal to Emperor Rongcheng, he was not stupid. She had saved his life, so he would definitely not do such a thing.

At the same time.

The Three Emperors are in the Earth Courtyard.

The sound of whipping continued to be heard.

Gu Yunjin curled up on the ground, letting the whip continue to hit her body. The piercing pain made her groan, which only caused the Third Prince to whip her even harder.

"Where's the puppy? Where's my puppy?"

The third prince muttered as he fought.

"Didn't they say that if I hit you, you'd turn into a puppy?"

"Why haven't you changed?"

As the Third Prince spoke, he suddenly dropped the whip.

After a moment, she murmured.

"Is that because fighting like this doesn't work?"

As he spoke, someone brought in a brazier, and on top of the brazier were huge hooks.

This is something that is used in prison to interrogate extremely vicious criminals and prevent them from escaping. I don’t know why it appears here now?

Gu Yunjin looked at the hook that had already burned red, and his whole body began to tremble.

"Your Highness, please don't..."

"I...I was wrong, please don't do this to me..."

"If this goes on, I'm going to die."

The third prince seemed to have heard nothing, and there was only one thought in his mind.

"Go through it, go through it, go through it, and she'll become his little dog and she'll never leave again."

Gu Yunjin looked at the hook that was getting closer and closer to him, and was so scared that he kept backing away.

“No…no…”

"ah……"

A shrill scream pierced the night sky, instantly startling countless birds, but did not cause much waves in the quiet palace.

There was a hook on Gu Yunjin's rib, and he felt excruciating pain all over his body. Even breathing was an endless agony.

She closed her eyes and really wanted to die, but then she thought of the woman with a smile on her face and a confident look on her face, and she immediately opened her eyes.

Hatred spread in his eyes.

"Gu Jingchun."

"I won't die so easily."

"I will definitely return this pain in its entirety."

In the cold palace.

Concubine Hui was like a madman, running back and forth in the yard like a madman.

Until the tightly closed door was opened and Prince Rui was helped in.

Concubine Hui paused and then looked at Prince Rui.

"Rui'er, my son..."

As Concubine Hui said this, she rushed over, no longer crazy, and slowly hugged him.

Concubine Hui brought the person into the room and closed the door, and everyone became completely quiet.

She looked at Prince Rui, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"My son, how are you feeling lately?"

"Has anyone bullied you?"

The palace is full of people flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Concubine Hui used to act in a high-profile manner in the palace. Once she falls, there will naturally be countless people pulling her down.

Prince Rui no longer had the support of his mother, and he also lost a finger due to a physical injury, making him lose the chance to be emperor. Naturally, he would be looked down upon by the people in the palace, and would inevitably be treated differently in secret.

During this period, Prince Rui could be said to have experienced all the ups and downs of life.

However, looking at Concubine Hui's expectant eyes, he still shook his head.

"I'm fine. With my father here, who dares to bully me?"

As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Hui with heartache.

"It's you, mother, who has suffered."

Concubine Hui shook her head.

"My mother is fine, but I'm sorry I got you into trouble."

As Concubine Hui spoke, tears began to flow.

She looked at her beloved son, who had become so thin in such a short time, and she was filled with hatred.

“Shen Hechuan!”

"Hello, Jiang Xian!"

"You have harmed us mother and son to such an extent, I will never let you go just like that."

Thinking of this, she immediately comforted King Rui and said:

"Rui'er, don't worry, Mother will find a way for you.

Does Jiang Xianhao think that she can rest easy now? "

"That's impossible!"

Prince Rui didn't quite understand what Noble Consort Hui said, and immediately said, "Mother, we have no chance of winning now, so why not just let it go?"

"Now, Father personally holds that child in his arms and teaches him all day long. It's obvious that he loves him deeply. How can we compare to them?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui sneered, but suddenly looked at Prince Rui.

"No!"

“It’s not the end yet!”

"How do you know we can't beat them?"

"You can't give up so quickly. It's still unclear who will win until the very end."

When she said this, she immediately threw her head back and burst into laughter.

Prince Rui also noticed Concubine Hui's abnormality and asked in confusion:

"Don't tell me, Mother, do you have any other solutions?"

Only then did Concubine Hui chuckle, with a determined expression on her face.
