Chapter 227 The hanging heart finally died
The female voice was coquettish, but it sounded familiar.
Jiang Zhiyu followed the emperor and walked towards the place where the voice came from, and saw Xiao Qingwu wearing a fiery red fox fur and holding a long whip in his hand.
The whip and the snow were stained with spots of blood, which looked particularly eye-catching against the white snow.
In front of Xiao Qingwu, there was a woman kneeling in a single layer of clothes, and she was soaked and covered with scars.
She was shaking constantly, but as soon as she moved, the two palace maids standing next to her kicked her.
"Tell me, where did you hide the things you stole!"
Xiao Qingwu looked down at her from above, shaking the long whip in his hand threateningly.
Because Xiao Siyuan was about to attack Wala and would be away from Beijing for many days, she personally embroidered a sachet and put the amulet she had specially requested inside.
However, as they were about to leave, they were reluctant to say goodbye. For a moment, they were a little sentimental and lost their vigilance.
It was normal for brothers and sisters to be more intimate, but just when they were leaning on each other, she turned her head and saw the slave girl turned around.
Who knows how much the slave girl saw!
What's more, the slave girl was sent by the queen. Before, she and her mother were thinking about how to get rid of this person. Now, she can use the loss of the sachet to get rid of her legitimately!
The maid on the ground was shivering from the cold, her voice was trembling: "Your servant, your servant...really, really, I didn't take it, I didn't take the sachet."
"How dare you talk back?!"
Xiao Qingwu raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice became higher, and she raised the long whip in her hand, ready to hit her -
the maid closed her eyes in despair, and waited for a few seconds, but the expected pain did not come. She looked up and saw a man blocking in front of her, holding the whip tightly in one hand.
The joints of that hand turned white because of the force, and the veins on the pale back of the hand bulged.
Xiao Qingwu knew Jiang Wenjing, and she just showed some impatience in her eyes, and when her eyes turned to the front of her, she suddenly became panicked.
"Father, your son...your son pays respects to the emperor!"
She knelt down in panic and waited for a while before she heard a dignified voice from above: "Stand up."
Xiao Qingwu's mind raced. After he stood up, his face was no longer panicked. Instead, he walked over with a smile and took the emperor's arm affectionately, "Your son has not seen the emperor for a long time. Although state affairs are serious, the emperor also has to worry about his own health."
The emperor patted her hand a few times, pulled his arm away, and said softly: "What did this maid do wrong to make you so angry?"
Xiao Qingwu glanced at him and snorted: "This is a dishonest person. I heard that my brother was going to the front line, so I embroidered a sachet for him with my own hands. I wanted to give it to him when he came, but I never thought that it was stolen by this bitch!"
[Nonsense, you've obviously given it to Xiao Siyuan, but this maid saw you being affectionate, so she wanted to kill you to silence you.]
Emperor: Tsk.
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
Xiao Qingwu didn't think her father would have the time to care about the life and death of a maid, so she said coquettishly: "Father, you don't have to worry about such a small matter, your son will handle it."
She winked at her two maids.
The two maids understood and hurriedly tried to drag the man away.
"Wait," the emperor said lightly, and the two maids froze in place, and Xiao Qingwu's heartbeat also accelerated.
"I have heard of people stealing money and treasures, but this is the first time someone has stolen a sachet. Tell me why you stole the princess's sachet."
Xiao Qingwu's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She stared at the maid on the ground, and she didn't feel any pain when her nails dug into her flesh. She
was afraid that the maid would say something she shouldn't.
Jiang Zhiyu was standing next to Xiao Qingwu, and she could hear Xiao Qingwu's nervous breathing clearly.
[You must be sweating profusely.]
The maid on the ground also knew that this was her only chance of survival. If she couldn't catch it, she would really be buried in the snow.
She suppressed her trembling voice and tried her best to speak clearly: "Your Majesty is wise, I really did not take the princess's sachet...but I saw another thing."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiao Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief. He was thinking about how to splash dirty water to prove her guilt, when he heard the second half of her sentence.
[The hanging heart finally died.]
Jiang Zhiyu looked at her face that suddenly turned as pale as paper, and complained silently.
The emperor frowned slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Chao En, take the person to Yu's study and ask for an imperial physician."
Chao En replied yes, picked up the person and ran to Yu's study.
Jiang Zhiyu pinched her chin, and her eyes rolled back and forth.
[Chao En, why does this name sound so familiar? 】
【Wait, I remember now, isn't this the eunuch who later replaced Fuping, dealt with the Queen Mother, Prince Yu, and the Sixth Prince, and finally followed the Sixth Prince! 】
【Finally, he became the Chief Eunuch, with such great power that he was honored as the Nine Thousand Years Old by people later on. 】
【What a tough guy. 】
Emperor: "!!!"
His vision is still good. According to what Zhiyu said, Chaoen must be capable. With him around, can Fuping abdicate and let Xian take over?
The emperor's eyes fell on Fuping, and Fuping was immediately startled.
There was no wind, so why did he suddenly feel a chill?
Fuping stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes.
[However, although Chao En is very capable, he is not loyal at all. He helped others to poison the emperor. Even when he followed the Sixth Prince in the future, it was the same.] [However,
he also knew that it was impossible for him to ascend to the throne with his identity, so he only took action when others contacted him and gave him enough benefits.]
[For him, it is just that sentence: He doesn’t care who the emperor is, but he must be the chief eunuch beside the emperor.]
Emperor: “…”
From this point of view, the matter of replacing Fu Ping should be discussed later.
Jiang Wenjing: “!!!”
How can such an unfaithful person serve the emperor!
No, he must think of a way to remind His Majesty!
And what Zhiyu just said, could it be that the Sixth Prince ascended the throne in the end? !
What about the Crown Prince?
Doesn't His Majesty love the Crown Prince the most? !
Jiang Wenjing was full of question marks.
On the other side, Xiao Qingwu was trembling with fear, not daring to speak.
It's over!
Father is going to get to the bottom of this!
That palace maid will definitely reveal what happened between her and her brother!
What to do, what to do? !
Xiao Qingwu's beautiful eyes were full of helplessness, and her hands were clenched tightly.
The emperor glanced at her coldly: "Come with me."
Then he strode towards Yu's study.
Xiao Qingwu followed him closely, thinking frantically about countermeasures in his mind.
In the study, ambergris was burned to cover the bloody smell on the palace maiden. The imperial physician squatted on the ground to diagnose her.
