Chapter 76 The root of that evil was cut off



The second prince, Chu Huaiyu, moved out of the palace and set up his own family two years ago.

In his early years, he was molested by eunuchs in the palace. Later, he developed a gloomy character and often tortured other weak palace maids. This was known to everyone in the palace.

Before Chu Huaiyu moved out of the palace, the young palace servants were in a panic every day.

Only after he moved out of the palace did the palace servants breathe a sigh of relief.

However, ever since Chu Huaiyu moved out of the palace and set up his own business, people often saw carts coming in and out of the back door of the mansion.

Those who knew the situation knew that the people on the cart were weak children, while those who didn't would just think that the cart was carrying the swill from the mansion.

Because Chu Huaiyu was the second prince, even though there were often bloody incidents in his mansion and children cried after being tortured, no one was moved by him.

Just because he is the second prince of the current dynasty.

Imperial power is everything, and no one dares to disobey it.

Until this morning, a piece of gossip spread in the market.

At that time, Li Shengyi was still sitting in the courtyard having breakfast.

Qin Songmo had to attend the morning court, and he would get up before dawn every day to go to court. If it was late, he would come back under the stars, and if it was early, he could only have lunch in time, and then he had to go back to finish the unfinished official business at hand.

It can be said that the father and daughter have never sat together to have breakfast except when Qin Songmo was on leave.

Hearing the rumors from Lu Xing behind him, Li Shengyi stopped feeding his mouth with fish porridge and turned his head to look behind him.

"really?"

Lu Xing nodded seriously, "It must be true. It's all spread among the people. I heard that the beating was very severe."

Li Shengyi knows the truth that "God is watching what you do" and "it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet."

But what she didn't expect was that Chu Huaiyu's retribution came so quickly.

It had not been long since the last time the other party teased him in Huguo Temple, but Chu Huaiyu was beaten in his own house.

Her little face was grinning so hard that her teeth were showing but her eyes were not. She asked, "Oh? How cruel?"

Seeing that the young master was in high spirits, Lu Xing immediately told him all the news she had heard in the kitchen this morning.

"I heard that there were often wailing and shouting from the Second Prince's courtyard, and basins of blood were being carried out."

"I also heard that..."

Li Shengyi was listening with great interest at the moment. Seeing Lu Xing hesitating, she stretched out her slightly cold little hand and held her hand.

"Sister Lu Xing, please tell me quickly. How can I laugh if you don't tell me?"

When Lu Xing heard this, the embarrassed expression on her face did not disappear, but became even more solemn.

She first glanced around the courtyard, and after confirming that there was no one around, she bent down and whispered in her young master's ear.

"I also heard that the root of that evil person was cut off."

Even though Li Shengyi doesn't have that thing.

After hearing what Lu Xing said, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

She took a deep breath, widening her already large, round almond-shaped eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Really?"

Lu Xing nodded, then shook her head. "I'm not sure. It's said that he did a lot of evil things, and he did a lot of things that were against the will of heaven..."

"Miss, you must not tell anyone about this. What if the Prime Minister finds out..."

Lu Xing knew that her young master was kind-hearted. Even if she did something wrong, as long as it did not touch the young master's bottom line, the young master would forgive her.

But the Prime Minister is different. He is cold-hearted and cold-blooded. If it weren't for the young master protecting her, her head would have fallen to the ground the first time the young master was injured.

Lu Xing's gaze fell on Li Shengyi's little hand that had been scalded by Yun Rushi's maid.

Ever since Li Shengyi's little hand was injured, doctors have been coming to the prime minister's residence all the time.

Qin Songmo also often brought scar-removing plasters to the mansion. As children have a quick recovery ability, now only faint scars can be seen on the back of Li Shengyi's hand.

If you don't look closely, you can't tell that the back of her hand has been burned.

Li Shengyi didn't notice Lu Xing's gaze on the back of his hand.

She nodded and said, "I know. I thought getting up early in winter was a very painful thing. I have to thank Sister Lu Xing for telling me the good news."

It should have been like this long ago.

The righteous knight should have appeared earlier and directly killed Chu Huaiyu, that perverted and dirty guy.

Unfortunately, in the original novel, this righteous knight never appeared, and the character Chu Huaiyu lived longer than her father.

Looking back now, Li Shengyi just felt sorry for her father.

Chu Huaiyu devoted himself to his career and died later than her father.

If her father had focused on his career, he might have been able to survive. After all, her father is the smartest person in the whole article.

But her father became mentally retarded when he met Su Jinrou, and died early...

And there is Meng Jiuan.

Supporting his little head with one hand, Li Shengyi's mind popped up the pair of aggrieved puppy eyes that Meng Jiuan looked at him with in the study last night.

For Meng Jiuan to become the Great General of National Defense, he must have his own abilities, and he is definitely not as foolish as he usually appears.

Unfortunately, he is also a love-brained person. As soon as he meets Su Jinrou, his brain is stepped on and rubbed back and forth by him.

Moreover, Meng Jiuan was not like her father who listened to advice, but instead believed that Su Jinrou was good.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Shengyi lowered his eyes to look at the fish porridge in front of him, shook his head and sighed deeply.

Lu Xing, who was serving on the side, was terrified.

Wasn’t her young lady looking happy just now?

Why did she shake her head and sigh after a while? Wasn't the news she brought back explosive enough?

Little did she know that her young lady was worried about the two adults around her.

At this moment, one of the adults that Li Shengyi was worried about was sitting in Qinghua Palace, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his face was no longer as excited as before.

Instead, I felt a little restless.

Su Jinrou looked at the man sitting below her, who looked much thinner.

Seeing that his body was tense and he looked stiff and nervous, she raised the silk handkerchief in her hand, covered her mouth with it and chuckled.

"Chang Xiao, why are you still as shy as before?"

Meng Jiuan was not shy at all, he just felt uncomfortable.

There was a strong fragrance in Qinghua Palace, unlike his general's mansion where there was no fragrance at all.

In the past, he only felt that the fragrance in Qinghua Palace had captivated his heart. Every time he was privately invited to Qinghua Palace, his heart would always be fluttering.

Now, when he smelled the familiar fragrance in Qinghua Palace again, he felt a little nauseous.

It's not as nice as the scent of tea and sandalwood in the prime minister's study.

It's not as nice as the light fragrance on Little Radish Head.

In the past, he thought the fragrance in Qinghua Palace was sweet, but now he felt that this fragrance was no different from the vulgar smell of powder in brothels.
