Chapter 36
Chuntao’s voice was trembling, but she still told everything she knew word by word!
At the same time, she took out a stack of papers from her sleeve.
When Eunuch Cao heard that Xiao Shunzi was killed, he clenched his fists tightly!
"You, you actually hid these things secretly, what do you think..."
Concubine Li gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to kill someone.
In order not to leave any evidence, she had asked Chuntao to secretly burn these things before.
She never thought that her personal maid would secretly keep these things and betray her at the critical moment!
Chuntao lowered her head and dared not look at her.
Chuntao did not want to betray her, and left these things just to prevent the truth from being revealed one day, maybe to save her life.
She had heard this by accident from a young eunuch, who said that the Northern Zhao Kingdom emphasized "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist." The Northern Zhao Emperor was also very kind, and if someone performed meritorious service at a critical moment, he might be able to deal with them leniently.
Since she couldn't stop Concubine Li from doing this, this was the only way to save her life.
There was no other way, she had to stay alive, and her family was still waiting for her salary to survive, she couldn't die...
"Shut up!" Emperor Mingde gritted his teeth.
Eunuch Cao handed the note to Emperor Mingde.
Emperor Mingde saw at a glance that it was indeed Concubine Li's handwriting.
"Very good, very good!" The emperor threw the poems directly on Concubine Li's head.
The poems were scattered all over the floor.
The atmosphere in the palace was tense. Everyone lowered their heads and dared not say a word. Even Concubine Li was so scared that she dared not speak again.
Some people even peed in their pants. Oh, no, that person was not even wearing pants. He peed directly on the ground with his bare buttocks...
"Damn it! No wonder you never fight for favor and look like you are at peace with the world! So, you actually secretly keep a man in the palace. How dare you???!" Emperor Mingde was furious.
"Cao Jixiang, beat him up!" Emperor Mingde was so angry that he wanted to execute the two men on the spot.
However, Eunuch Cao was his confidant and had always been loyal to him.
Emperor Mingde knew that he had lost his loved one and was depressed, so he let him vent his anger first.
Eunuch Cao immediately picked up a stick and hit Concubine Li and Shen Yifang. He used almost all his strength, and each whip was heavier than the last.
He hated it, he really hated it!
He was now over fifty years old, half buried in the ground. Xiao Shunzi was his only hope and sustenance, but Concubine Li and Shen Yifang had the heart to kill her!
He would rather be the one killed !
"Tell me, where did you take Xiao Shunzi?!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life, Eunuch Cao, please show mercy. I say, I say, I threw her into the dry well in the backyard..."
Eunuch Cao's hand loosened suddenly, and the whip fell to the ground.
Emperor Mingde waved to Eunuch Cao, who knelt down to thank him, and then rushed out with tears in his eyes...
Emperor Mingde's veins bulged and his eyes were red.
"Come here, drag this adulterous couple away and beat them to death!!!"
"All other related people, hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment for handling!!!"
While Emperor Mingde was killing people, Wei Yinuo returned home happily.
"Mother! Today I asked the emperor for money, and the emperor has promised to give it to me in a few days! When the time comes, you must remember to give me the money!"
As soon as Wei Yinuo entered the house, he happily reported today's results to Madam Wei.
"What did you say?!"
Madam Wei was drinking tea and almost spit out a mouthful of tea!
She was just joking yesterday and almost forgot about it. She didn't expect Nuo'er to take it seriously and really ask the emperor for money!
She is really bold!
"I told you to ask the emperor for money! The emperor has already agreed! Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I've been standing for a whole morning and I can't hold my urine any longer. I'm going to the bathroom. If you don't believe me, ask my dad!"
After saying that, she ran towards the toilet.
"Oh, mom, go slowly, be careful not to fall!"
Seeing Wei Yinuo like that, Madam Wei sighed.
Oh, she doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all!!!
"By the way, did this girl Nuoer really ask the emperor for her salary?"
Madam Wei looked at Master Wei and asked hurriedly.
Master Wei sighed.
"What do you think, this heartless guy! He almost scared me to death!"
Thinking about what happened in the court today, Master Wei still felt a chill on his back.
"Why? Your Majesty is angry about this?"
"Oh! It's really hard to explain!"
Taifu Wei simply recounted to Madam Wei what happened in the court today.
Listening to Taifu Wei's retelling, Madam Wei's face turned from red to white, from white to black, and finally she broke out in a cold sweat!
"Oh my god! I was sweating even though I wasn't there! Fortunately, our emperor is magnanimous, otherwise, our Nuo'er would have died many times!"
"Oh, who said it wasn't!"
"By the way, don't let this matter leak out!"
Taifu Wei had a mysterious expression.
"I know, I know! I'm not stupid. A man's face is above everything else, not to mention, it's the emperor's face, I understand!"
"What are you two talking about! Mysterious!"
Wei Yinuo was refreshed after finishing the job, and trotted over all the way.
"Oh, nothing! Dad has already told Mom about your situation."
"That's right, next time don't ask the emperor for money, okay? If you want pocket money, Mom will give it to you!"
"Really?!"
Wei Yinuo still couldn't believe it.
[System, why is my mother so generous all of a sudden? I had a backup plan...]
Madam Wei: What are you talking about? When have I ever been stingy? !
System: [Maybe no one in Northern Zhao has ever dared to ask the emperor for wages? Your mother is worried about your safety.]
Wei Yinuo: [Is that so! I think our emperor is pretty good. As long as you don't provoke him like those ignorant ministers, he is still quite gentle and easy to talk to! I really don't understand why they are so afraid of him... Forget it, forget about it. Anyway, the money has been successfully obtained. Tongzi, I'll take you to the street to eat delicious food later! Oh, by the way, I forgot that you can't eat anymore, what a pity!]
Taifu Wei, Madam Wei:...
You are really a tiger! That's Emperor Mingde, the most powerful emperor in the history of Northern Zhao! You actually think he is gentle and easy to talk to? !
Wei Yinuo, who got the money, went to the street in a flash.
Wei Taifu had something to do today, so he sent a few secret guards to secretly follow Wei Yinuo and protect her safety at any time.
At this time, Yiren Yitong had already arrived on the street.
There were so many delicious foods on the street, and Wei Yinuo thought everything was delicious.
He wanted to have a little of everything, and soon his stomach was full.
[Host, don't just focus on eating by yourself! You are enjoying the meal, but I'm still hungry! Take me to eat melon, I need to save energy! ]
Wei Yinuo: [Why are you hungry again? Didn't you just eat the emperor's big melon during the morning court? ]
System: [I'm still a little baby, it's normal to be hungry! Besides, didn’t you eat a lot in the morning? You are still eating non-stop now! 】
Wei Yinuo: [Okay, okay, okay! I’ll take you to eat melons! Then you should check quickly to see where there are big melons nearby! 】
System: [No need to check, I have already checked when you were eating just now, there are big melons in the Duke of Qi’s mansion! The third daughter of the Duke of Qi’s family has recently fallen in love with a scholar, and the two are secretly meeting at the moment! 】
Wei Yinuo looked excited: [What are you waiting for, let’s go! ]
