At this moment, true fear completely descended into their hearts, but they still cautiously begged for forgiveness, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I am also acting according to the master's orders...I didn't mean it..."
After hearing this, Jiang Ziyi scoffed and said, "If you can use such an excuse to cover up your crime when hurting others, then what about decency?"
"Besides, what makes you think that I will spare your lives as long as you are willing to tell the truth?"
"If His Majesty had not been present today and Concubine Duan had not been stripped of her title, you would still choose to stand on Concubine Duan's side and aid her in her abuse."
"You came here with the intention of framing me. If you succeed, I will be doomed. If you fail, you're begging me to forgive you and let you go. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
"Slave...slave..."
Jiang Ziyi's words one after another left them with no room for rebuttal.
Ji Chenan looked at Jiang Ziyi who was lying in his arms. He thought she was a person without temper, but unexpectedly, she still had some temper.
He was afraid that he would be bullied before, but it seems that she is very sharp-tongued and does not have that kind of foolish womanly kindness. Her personality is very similar to his. If anyone dares to bully her, he will definitely fight back.
Jiang Ziyi, who had just spoken in a cold tone, turned around and gave Ji Chenan a tender look.
"Your Majesty, if we don't punish these two palace maids, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Ziyi begs Your Majesty to handle this impartially!"
When she said this, not only Caidie and Caiwei who were kneeling on the ground trembled in their hearts, but also the several palace maids who had served Qin before and were still here trembled. They all began to think about whether they had done anything excessive under Concubine Duan in the past.
Ji Chenan suddenly discovered that this girl was quite good at taking advantage of the situation.
She was talking so much just to get him to support her. He never liked such behavior, but it depended on the person.
Just like this time when the target was Jiang Ziyi, he found that he didn't seem to be so disgusted by such behavior, but rather he was happy with it...
Ji Chenan glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Linzi, take these two away and beat them to death."
With his emotionless voice, he pronounced the death sentence on the two people kneeling on the ground.
When Caiwei heard Ji Chen'an's order, her body trembled like a sieve and she shouted hurriedly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. It was Caidie who beat your maid. I didn't do anything cruel! Please, Your Majesty, spare me!"
Upon hearing this, Caidie's eyes widened in anger, and she immediately yelled at Caiwei, "What do you mean! It was you who said you wanted to break her hand bones that made me use the tools! You want to distance yourself from it now? You're the most vicious one!"
Hearing that they were still arguing about these things when they were about to die, Jiang Ziyi shook her head, unwilling to watch or listen anymore.
What's the point of saying this now? It only proves how stupid and bad they were when they did the evil.
Even if these two people were not bad at the beginning, they became vicious after working under Concubine Duan for a long time, and they deserved death for what they did.
It is the Buddha’s job to forgive bad people, and she is only responsible for sending these bad guys to see the Buddha!
Looking at the dog-eat-dog scene in front of him, Ji Chenan's face was clearly unhappy. Xiao Linzi noticed it keenly and hurriedly took the executioner eunuch to drag the two away.
The two people who were taken away were still howling on the way.
Ji Chenan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and slowly said, "I remember that the maids in Concubine Duan's palace and their families all work in the Qin family, right?"
Xiao Linzi: "Yes, Your Majesty, their families are also servants of the Qin family."
Cai Die and Cai Wei fell silent immediately. They were paralyzed with fear. They were already terrified by the order to be beaten to death, and now His Majesty mentioned their families. Could their families also be implicated in this matter?
Ji Chenan seemed to have read their minds and spoke slowly, "After a while, I will send them down to reunite with you."
After all, the Qin family is not as simple as it seems. It must have been involved in his assassination. Later, those who had evil intentions were caught in one fell swoop and all of them must have been sent away.
Jiang Ziyi was shocked. Is this man so sinister? After hearing this, Caidie and Caiwei were afraid that they would never forget the regret of offending the wrong person even when they reached Mengpo Bridge.
Caidie and Caiwei, who were being held captive, seemed to have their souls taken away. They stopped crying and making a fuss. There was only endless regret and despair in their hearts.
Only when they lay on the board did they truly realize that they had done something wrong.
Xiao Linzi was afraid that their shouting would disturb His Majesty, so he stuffed cloth into their mouths tightly.
Soon, the boards came down one after another. His Majesty's order was to beat him to death with a stick, so the force of the boards was merciless. Every blow hit the flesh, and even some clever force was used. After a few hits, the skin and flesh were broken and stained red.
However, because they were stuffed with cloth, they didn't even have the chance to scream and could only make whimpering sounds.
Soon, even the humming sound stopped, and the two people on the board had lost their life.
Eunuch Lin glanced at him with disdain, "Humph, you deserve it."
He was not unaware of Concubine Duan's previous behavior, but His Majesty seemed to have tolerated it for some special reason. He did not expect that even Concubine Duan's maid would dare to take advantage of her power and cause trouble in the palace.
Today's punishment is just right. I believe that the servants in the palace will be more aware of the rules in the future.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Lin was still in a good mood.
After he finished dealing with the body of the person who was beaten to death and returned to report to the emperor, he found that all the irrelevant people in the room had been dismissed, and Doctor Liu, who had rushed from the Imperial Hospital to take Jiang Ziyi's pulse, was kneeling on the ground.
And His Majesty, at this moment, also had a frown on his face.
He was shocked. It seemed like he had been away for only a short time. What had happened?
