"Princess Zhaoping is the Empress Dowager's darling. Who could have injured her like this? I will certainly report the truth to the Empress Dowager." Zheng Mama proudly announced the Empress Dowager's name, feeling very honored.

But the next second, the world spun around.

Hu Ji grabbed Zheng by the collar and dragged her in front of him like a hen.

"How dare you! What do you think you're doing? I'm the Empress Dowager's woman!" Granny Zheng shouted in alarm.

Hu Ji flipped his right hand, and no one could see where he took out the dagger. He held the dagger in his hand and said, "You filthy old bastard, you don't need to go and pollute the Empress Dowager's eyes and ears anymore."

Look at her! What kind of despicable tricks have you taught this princess? She even went to climb into my prince's bed in the middle of the night!

My princess said, "You old fool, you're misleading the young! She ordered us to pull out your tongue, cripple your hands and feet, and make sure you live a quiet and law-abiding life from now on!"

Granny Zheng: "!"

You've got it wrong!

I wasn't the one who taught Princess Zhaoping how to climb into bed!

When Granny Zheng opened her mouth to defend herself, she inadvertently gave Hu Ji an easy opportunity.

A flash of cold light appeared.

Zheng Mama felt a cool sensation in her mouth, and a large amount of warm liquid almost instantly filled her oral cavity.

Only after smelling the strong stench of blood did the excruciating pain of the severed tongue belatedly begin to strike.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Granny Zheng simply couldn't believe it:

She was a tutor in the palace!

They're the Empress Dowager's people!

How dare those bandits!

but……

"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The four sharp cracking sounds of bones breaking that followed were chilling!

The excruciating pain of her broken limbs made Granny Zheng open her mouth wide to scream, but no sound came out. Her severed tongue and blood flowed out of her mouth, instantly soaking through her clothes.

Although Simeng and Siyi had practiced martial arts, they were bolder than the average palace maid.

Seeing this horrific scene, they were trembling with fear and their bodies turned ice-cold!

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

Those bandits were inhuman!

The men under the Ninth Prince are so ruthless and merciless; they're not human!

Simeng and Siyi wanted to escape, but Hu Ji was blocking the doorway, so they knew they couldn't get away!

and.

Without the Empress Dowager's order, they left Princess Zhaoping without permission, and returning would be a capital offense!

Hu Ji threw Zheng Mama on the ground like a rag doll and took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket.

He poured the two pills from the medicine bottle into his palm and said to Simeng and Siyi, "These are from our princess, who asked me to give them to you."

After you take this medicine, you will belong to our princess.

I will deliver the antidote to you regularly from now on.

You don't have to eat it.

"If you don't eat, I'll send you on your way right now."

Siyi: "..."

Simeng: "..."

That damned Lin Shuang!

What terrible idea did they give Princess Zhaoping!

They've been dragged into this for no reason!

They absolutely have to beat that brat to a pulp!

"We'll eat, please don't kill us!"

With Zheng Mama's example as a precedent, Simeng and Siyi immediately backed down and obediently took the medicine.

At this moment, the two guards had already placed Princess Zhaoping on the bed.

Hu Ji said expressionlessly, "Our Princess Consort said that although Princess Zhaoping did something shameful, she is still someone the Empress Dowager has taken a liking to. You should drag her back to the capital and send her to the Empress Dowager."

After saying that, Hu Ji and the others left.

Simeng and Siyi were extremely miserable:

Why send the half-dead Princess Zhaoping back to the Empress Dowager? Is it to hurt her feelings?

What's the difference between that and sending them straight to their deaths?
