Where is she now?
Ah Xin bowed to Jiang Ziyi, who was sitting on a chair, and asked, "Empress, how do you deal with this servant who's been sneaking around out there?"
Although Jinzhi can't see or speak now, her ears are still fine.
"The Empress? Who is the Empress? She had asked the palace maids of Yao Kingdom before, and they all said that there are no concubines in the harem now, let alone a queen!"
However, she was only asking ordinary palace servants at the time. Only a few people around her knew that Jiang Ziyi was the queen, so it was understandable that she didn't find out.
"Take the cloth off her eyes." Jiang Ziyi said coldly.
Ah Xin did as he was told immediately.
When Jinzhi heard this voice, her hair stood on end instantly.
The owner of this voice...
When the black cloth in front of her was removed, she found that there were people standing in a circle in front of her, and there were many familiar faces!
Caiyun, Caixia, Nanny Qiu Jin, and...Princess Mingzhu sitting on the chair!
Jiang Ziyi was pregnant and did not wear the queen's clothes, but loose and comfortable everyday clothes. However, she had a noble air about her and one could tell at a glance that she was of noble status.
The next time she looked, Jinzhi saw Jiang Ziyi's slightly bulging belly.
In an instant, she understood what Nanny Qiu Jin had meant by the two distinguished guests.
Jiang Ziyi is actually the Queen... and she's pregnant...
Jinzhi's face was pale, her bound hands were clenched into fists, her whole body was trembling, her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to calm her trembling, but she couldn't stop.
Jiang Ziyi suddenly giggled and stroked her belly. "How about it? Are you surprised to see me?"
Jinzhi couldn't speak. She felt as if she was trapped in a cramped space and unable to escape. Her whole body felt like being grabbed by a pair of ruthless hands, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"I heard that your master wanted to know where I am." Her tone was blunt and full of sarcasm.
"If she wants to see me, she must be prepared to risk her life." Jiang Ziyi tapped the table with her fingertips, her tone as cold as iron.
Even if Jinzhi could speak at this moment, she couldn't. She was so scared that she became speechless.
Not only did Jiang Ziyi become the queen, she was also pregnant with the child of Emperor Yao, who was rumored to have been poisoned!
Then it became clear why Emperor Yao and the Queen Mother would support her.
She cannot die. If Jiang Ziyi has become the queen and Emperor Yao still wants Princess Mingyue to marry him, then this must be a revenge against Princess Mingyue!
She had to pass on this message alive, and then let Princess Mingyue write a letter to tell Queen Shen to come and rescue her!
She quickly knelt down and kowtowed continuously, hoping that Jiang Ziyi would let her go.
Her head hit the hard stone ground with a clanging sound, leaving a bloody mark on her forehead.
But Jiang Ziyi ignored them. She raised the corner of her lips and turned to Caiyun and Caixia and said, "Only her forehead is red. I feel so sorry for her. You two, go and add some color to her face."
Caiyun Cloud and Xia immediately understood that the Queen wanted them to fan Jinzhi.
Ah Xin lifted Jinzhi up from behind.
Caiyun opened her palm and swung it towards Jinzhi's left cheek without any hesitation. Jinzhi's head was hit hard and tilted to one side. Her cheek swelled and turned red instantly. Severe pain spread across her face, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Before she could calm down, Caixia slapped her on the right cheek again.
The beating made her head buzz.
After several rounds of slaps, both of her cheeks were covered with bloody marks. Adding the blood marks on her forehead, it was quite shocking.
"Stop." Jiang Ziyi said slowly.
Just when Jinzhi thought that her punishment would come to an end, Jiang Ziyi seemed to suddenly remember something. With the help of Nanny Qiu Jin, she stood up and came to Jinzhi.
She bent down slightly and stared at Jinzhi who was forced to kneel on the ground, her eyebrows and eyes like sharp swords.
"I remember when I was in Shen State, Queen Shen wanted to hit me. She taught Mingyue that hitting people should be done out of sight. Do you agree?"
She paused and continued, "I still remember that you were the one who handed the whip to Queen Shen with your own hands." Jiang Ziyi's black pupils were like a bottomless lake, so cold that it was frightening.
Jinzhi's brain almost stopped working in fear, but she remembered that this had happened before.
Queen Shen used the whip she handed to her to beat Jiang Ziyi.
She wasn't given the chance to continue reminiscing.
"Bring me a whip." Jiang Ziyi said coldly.
Ah Qing handed over a soft whip at the right time. This whip was not as gorgeous as the one that Queen Shen used to beat her. On the contrary, it looked ordinary.
This soft whip is a torture instrument used by secret guards to torture prisoners. If you look closely, you will find that there are densely packed barbs on the whip. If it hits a person, every hit will hook up flesh and blood.
Jinzhi looked at the whip and trembled uncontrollably. In her eyes, the whip was like a cold-blooded poisonous snake ready to strike.
Jiang Ziyi pulled it down without hesitation. The force was so strong that it even tore Jinzhi's clothes, leaving a bright blood mark on her body, which was very eye-catching.
But she couldn't even let out a scream. The whip kept hitting her until she was half dead and her body was covered in blood. Only then did Jiang Ziyi stop.
This action stunned all the servants. They had thought that the Queen was not a weak little white flower, but they never expected that she was such a black peony!
Before she finished, Jiang Ziyi turned around and asked, "Caiyun Cloud and Xiaxia, some time ago, you told me what Jinzhi said to you in the imperial kitchen?"
"Your Majesty, Jinzhi said that we didn't hear Princess Mingyue's words because we were deaf." Caixia bowed and replied.
Jiang Ziyi lowered her eyes slightly and asked A Lie, "Do you have medicine that can make people deaf?"
Hearing this, Jinzhi, who was still half dead, struggled frantically. Only now did she deeply understand what it meant that disaster comes from the mouth.
She is already mute, and if she becomes deaf...
But her struggle was of no avail. Ah Xin alone was enough to subdue her completely.
Ali said, "If you want to make someone deaf, you don't need to use medicine. You just need to use a silver stick to rupture the eardrum."
Despite such a horrific incident, Ali's tone was calm.
Jiang Ziyi looked down at Jinzhi with a smile on her lips, "Then let's do as you say."
