When Eunuch Li arrived, the entire palace was in a state of stalemate.
They all knew that Lin wore a fox hairpin to the palace banquet.
In fact, the shape of this jewelry is difficult to make, and the shape of the entire venue is also difficult to make. Among them, Lin's hairpin is the most exquisite.
Naturally, she became the target of Concubine Ning, but because she was a princess after all, Eunuch Li did not make it difficult for her.
Just arrived at her side, smiled and said
"Princess, why don't you come with me first? Don't make things difficult for me."
His flattering face now made Lin feel very disgusted. She frowned and looked at Eunuch Li.
"What does Eunuch Li mean? I've heard about what's going on in the palace, but this must be a misunderstanding."
"Besides, I've never heard of anyone being arrested so quickly."
Lin naturally felt uncomfortable that she was still being interrogated by these servants despite her current status.
"I don't take the responsibility of arresting people."
Li Gongdao
"However, the palace has been restless these days. Moreover, the Imperial Master also said that it was the hairpin, not the person, that was the problem. After we investigate, we will be able to release the princess soon."
Seeing that Lin was still planning to continue talking, Eunuch Li suddenly raised his voice, and his shrill voice made everyone nervous.
"Could it be that the princess thinks that the imperial preceptor is wrong?"
"On the day of the palace banquet, the princess did wear jewelry with fox motifs on it. This is understandable. Now the emperor has issued an order to completely eradicate these evil spirits. I believe that the princess will not make things difficult for me, right?"
These words completely swallowed the words that were about to come out of Lin's mouth. When it came to Xu Qingyi, there were some things she really couldn't say casually.
Qiujiu glanced at Prince Duan beside her, but saw that Prince Duan stood straight with his eyes downcast, as if he didn't intend to speak for her.
"What is mother afraid of?"
Gu Qingsheng suddenly laughed, his laughter as sweet as a bell.
But this laughter sounded like a death warrant to Lin's ears.
"Eunuch Li is so polite, and I mean no offense. Mother will go with Eunuch Li to the palace, and let the Imperial Preceptor exorcise the evil spirit from your body. Then you can return."
"Mom, don't worry about the family. I will take care of everything for you."
Seeing her kind smile, Eunuch Li was very satisfied and kept nodding to Gu Qingsheng.
"My princess, you are naturally sensible."
Prince Duan didn't say anything, so Gu Qingsheng went along with it.
No matter how wronged Lin felt, she couldn't vent her anger. She could only hold her breath and follow Eunuch Li back.
The emperor was considerate of Prince Duan, but Lin was only his second wife. Moreover, she was promoted to a co-wife for the sake of Gu Qingsheng. With this status, there was no need to consider her at all.
After Lin left, Prince Duan sighed and shook his head.
"This palace is becoming increasingly unstable."
…
In a wooden house in the suburbs, screams were heard continuously.
In this quiet place, the occasional wailing makes people feel cold.
The man was tied to a pillar. The rope was very thick and very tight, leaving blood marks and some dried blood scabs on his body.
He was dying, and there was no life left on his plain-looking face. Someone's footsteps were heard from outside the door, and a bundle of firewood fell to the ground.
The man then raised his eyes, revealing a faint orchid color in them.
"Why, you're not dead yet?"
After untying the rope on the firewood, Liu Yanqiu fiddled with the spark that was about to go out in the middle of the room.
“What a pity.”
He said something with an ambiguous meaning and relit the fire, which dispelled some of the coldness in the room.
Seeing Liu Yanqiu, the man's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He seemed to be extremely frightened inside, and he uttered some painful words in the room.
It's fragmented and I can't make out any syllables.
Throwing away the stick in his hand, Liu Yanqiu patted the ashes on his hands.
"I was thinking, if I die, it would be easier. What's the point of being tortured? It's better to tell the truth. Where is Lehman's lair?"
He grabbed the black-clothed man's neck, and blood began to flow down his neck, dripping onto Liu Yanqiu's hands.
"Your name seems to be Holland, right? Tell me, and I'll heal your wounds and let you go. How about that?"
Huo Lan opened his eyes with all his strength, looked at Liu Yanqiu's gloomy face, and bit out a word from his mouth.
"You... you are worse than an animal... a demon..."
But it was this sentence that made Liu Yanqiu suddenly stunned.
He tightened his grip on Holland's neck, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"demon?"
"How dare you say that word?!"
The tightness in his throat made Holland's face turn pale and he couldn't make any sound. His hands were also tied very tightly. The pain rushed straight to his head. He rolled his eyes and seemed to be about to faint.
"You Westerners! Who among you didn't participate in that civil war? You Westerners! You are the devil!"
"Innocent people were killed indiscriminately, and countless people died tragically using civilians to practice Gu. Don't tell me you don't know, Holan."
"Don't tell me you didn't participate in that civil war!"
"It's all because of you! It's all because of you! All of you people from the Western Regions deserve to die! You all deserve to die!"
A flood of memories flooded into Liu Yanqiu's mind, his face turned pale, and his fingers trembled constantly.
The wailing of those people, the tragic deaths of those people.
Keep shouting in my memory, and finally it turns into a sentence of gnashing teeth
"Anyone who uses Gu should die."
When Holland was about to die, he loosened his hand again, his brows and eyes turned cold, and the anger just faded away.
"but."
"People like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later."
"Lehman's comeuppance was imminent."
There was a faint light in his eyes, and Liu Yanqiu curled his lips.
"And your comeuppance, Holland."
"Right now."
…
"General! General!"
The prison was filled with a rotten and foul smell that constantly attacked people's brains.
There were footsteps at the prison door, as if someone had noticed something. Hongxue had shackles on her feet, and the dragging sound was extremely heavy.
"General! General!"
She clasped the railing with both hands and looked at Chu Zhiyao who came in from outside with surprise.
The royal blue human skin mask was still on her face, but because it had not been properly taken care of for a few days, the skin had become loose and sagging, making her look as if she had aged ten years.
Chu Zhiyao's arrival made her feel like she saw a ray of light, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her gray eyes.
"General! Are you here to rescue me?"
Arriving in front of the cage, Chu Zhiyao sighed as he saw Hong Xue's haggard and frail appearance.
"Hongxue, you..."
"General!"
The joy in her heart has overshadowed Chu Zhiyao's worried expression. Hong Xue didn't care about anything else and shook the cage.
"General! General, please rescue me! General! I really can't stay here for a moment."
