Chen Jingxi, possessed by a mad bull, slapped the female official in blue three times, then threw a quilt over the heads of several palace maids and rushed forward, kicking and beating them like crazy.
Finally, he kicked them out of the cell.
Xiong Da, who was standing by, was completely stunned as he watched Chen Jingxi knock all eight palace maids to the ground with just a few kicks.
He came to his senses after being yelled at by Chen Jingxi. He was afraid that Chen Jingxi would be unhappy and kick him, so he respectfully handed over the big knife on his waist.
Chen Jingxi took the knife with one hand and gently swung it a few times. The flash of the knife reflected on her stern face. The palace maids on the ground saw this scene and hugged each other in fear, trembling.
Chen Jingxi squatted down and put the knife on the neck of the female official in green clothes. There was a hint of joking in her tone: "Well, have you thought about how to serve this princess?"
The blue-robed female official felt the cold blade on her neck, her face instantly turning pale. She was trembling all over, and even her words were incoherent: "Princess Su...Princess Su, I...I was wrong, please forgive me!"
The other palace maids also begged for mercy, their voices filled with tears, and they were obviously frightened by Chen Jingxi's methods.
"You're begging for mercy so soon. I thought you were tough."
With the knife at their necks, how could they not beg for mercy?
A smile flashed across Chen Jingxi's eyes. "Actually, I think any grudges or grievances between people are best resolved verbally. But you guys came and started fighting. How do you think I should respond to you?"
"We are just following orders. We have no choice. Please let us go this time, Princess Su."
"Let you go? Sorry, I've always been a very fussy person, never a saint. For those who try to bully or humiliate me, my attitude is always unforgiveness, I won't tolerate it, and I will torture them to death."
Upon hearing this, the green-robed female official's heart trembled, and fear slowly filled her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "You...you...we are the Empress Shu's people. She will not let you go."
Chen Jingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "It just so happens that I don't plan to let her go."
After saying that, Chen Jingxi stood up and glanced at the palace maids on the ground.
The palace maids were frightened by her gaze and lowered their heads, not daring to look at her directly.
Even though she had been thrown into prison, she stood there as if nothing had happened, looking calm and composed. Most importantly, she was incredibly strong and could easily knock them down, which made them even more afraid.
At this time, Xiong Da brought a stool to Chen Jingxi.
Squatting for so long was indeed tiring. Chen Jingxi gently adjusted the hem of her skirt and gracefully sat up, casually placing the broadsword in front of her. "Aren't you going to serve me? I can't stand dirt on the ground. Go and eat up all the food on the ground."
Upon hearing this, the female official in blue was furious: "Princess Su, please don't go too far! You are now in prison. I advise you to be kind, otherwise you will never have a good life in the future!"
Chen Jingxi laughed carefreely, "Don't give me any nonsense to say, just give me food."
The green-robed female official's face flushed crimson. She was in charge of the internal affairs, how could she have ever been bullied like this? She glared at Chen Jingxi and said with gritted teeth, "Don't go too far!"
Chen Jingxi's smile grew even brighter. She gently wiggled her fingers on the knife, "Why? When you asked me to eat, didn't you think it was too much?"
"I……"
"This is just the beginning. The torture instruments haven't been used in this cell yet."
"You guys just let her do whatever she wants?"
No matter what the female official in blue said, Xiong Da remained indifferent.
Xiong Da was actually speechless. He had to come to this prison to get beaten for no reason. He even handed the knife to Princess Su, but she couldn't see who had the final say here?
"Xiong Da, take her away and teach her a lesson."
"If you dare to act recklessly, Concubine Shu will definitely not let you go! Wuwu——"
Before the female official in blue could finish her words, she was covered over her mouth and dragged away.
Not long after, a woman's wailing was heard in the prison. When the other palace maids heard it, they became even more terrified.
"Do you want to eat?"
"Let's eat, let's eat." They knew that Chen Jingxi was a man of her words. If they really angered her, they would probably be living a life worse than death.
So they could only endure the humiliation and disgust and began to lick the food on the ground.
Chen Jingxi sat aside, drinking tea and watching their performance leisurely.
After the maids licked the food off the floor, they hurriedly began to clean the cell Chen Jingxi was in. They wiped the walls and swept the floor, each movement being done with great care, fearing to anger Chen Jingxi again.
After some effort, the cell was cleaned spotlessly and looked brand new.
At this time, the palace maids knelt obediently in front of Chen Jingxi, with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe, waiting for her next instruction.
Chen Jingxi gently put down the teacup in her hand. She did not embarrass the palace maids any further. She just said coldly, "Go back and tell your master that her good days are over."
The palace maids trembled all over when they heard her chilling words, and quickly nodded in response, "Yes, yes, yes."
Chen Jingxi nodded slightly, then looked at Xiong Da who was standing beside him and ordered, "Xiong Da, release all the people."
Xiong Da was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Chen Jingxi would kill everyone. After all, she had offended Concubine Shu, and she let them go. Isn't this like killing the snake but suffering from it instead of killing it?
Chen Jingxi ignored Xiong Da's doubts. She knew in her heart that she was already a criminal, and if she killed someone in prison, it would be too much.
Moreover, these people were just following orders. If she wanted to punish someone, she should punish Concubine Shu. That would suit her taste. It was just scratching the surface and was really not very effective.
