Chapter 294: Dead or Alive
"Snap!"
Hongmei whipped the teahouse to pieces.
"Who is it?" The waiter inside the teahouse chased out.
"Qian's family, arrest the person who just criticized the royal family!" Hongmei said coldly.
"Yes, she is the princess's maid!"
"You are dead, you slandered the eldest princess of the royal family, you have several heads that are not enough to chop off!"
After being said this, those who criticized the princess and the imperial teacher did not stop, but instead they looked at the carriage like a demon, and said, "What crime have we committed? We are just stating the facts. Is the eldest princess going to shut us up? Is there any justice in this world?"
"Do we need justice in the world?" The carriage stopped and the curtain opened. The eldest princess Xiaoyue got off the carriage. She walked up to the person who was speaking, sneered, and said, "Who gave you the money for such an hard-working speech? How much money is it worth to slander me?"
At the back, Ci Xin also got off the carriage holding Xiao Xier. He walked slowly to Xiaoyue's side with an extremely cold expression.
"Come here, let this national master pull out his tongue first!" Ci Xin said.
After that, Ci Xin raised his hands to cover little Xi'er's eyes, and said softly; "Although Xi'er is not afraid, it is not good for children to see too much blood!"
Baby Ruoxi was too lazy to watch.
She had personally done this kind of tongue pulling more than once in her previous life, so how could she not know what was going on.
"No, no, no, don't, I was wrong!" She was scared after all, and she was trembling and shouting nonsense.
"Oh! Aren't you not afraid!" Ci Xin said coldly: "You are so ignorant of the world and you are criticizing the eldest princess of the royal family. Go ahead!"
"Ah, ah, um..."
The guards behind stepped forward, held down the man with the long tongue, and then stabbed his ear with a dagger. The man immediately opened his mouth and howled.
The next moment, the executioner's guard raised his hand and stabbed the man's mouth with the dagger, and a bloody tongue appeared on the ground.
"Whether it is a country or a city, if there is no order, it is a chaotic world. I think that the people would not want to live in such a chaotic world. Killing, the law of the jungle, and the people's misery. I ask, is such a life good?" Ci Xin asked.
The people were silent. On the ground was the man who had his tongue pulled out and had fainted.
Beside him, there were people kneeling on the ground. The waiters in the teahouse were so scared that they dared not move, even if the tea spilled on the back of their hands, they did not dare to move.
"Regarding the stone dragon emerging from the water, we have come to the conclusion that it is the black otter that is causing trouble. If you continue to believe in nonsense, then you can go to the water to offer sacrifices!" Xiao Yue said, stretched out his hand to hold his daughter, and walked to the carriage. Ci
Xin turned his head and looked at the kneeling people, his eyes were still cold: "This national teacher still has those requirements. If there are any unusual situations, you can report to this national teacher, the princess, Prince Heng, and Wen Xu, or even to Hongmei and Nanny Gui. If it is verified to be true, this national teacher will have a great reward. As for those who spread rumors, if this national teacher hears and sees it again, then what awaits him will be pulling out his tongue and chopping off his head!"
"Yes, we common people will follow the instructions of the national teacher." The people responded one after another.
Ci Xin walked to the carriage and got on it. He looked at Xiao Yue and said while adjusting his sleeves, "You are in a good mood now!"
"You took action first, so I can take it easy!" Xiao Yue said lightly.
"Does this mean that you don't care about these rumors? Tell me, should I be touched that the princess actually favors me, or should I be frustrated that the princess doesn't have me in her heart?" Ci Xin said.
"Pah!"
Xiao Yue threw a pillow over and said, "You should deal with Shi Long's matter as soon as possible. Don't be idle all day. After dealing with it, I have to go back to take care of my mother. My brother must be very busy recently, and my mother may not be able to take care of her."
"Don't worry, Nanny Jin and Nanny Qin are all masters, and everything will be fine." Ci Xin said, and his expression became serious.
"Don't spend all your thoughts on men. In fact, if a woman does evil, it is also a very terrible thing!"
Baby Ruoxi thought of her previous life. If Master had not asked for help from Master Jingxuan to help heal the people, how could Master be calculated otherwise?
Before Master went out, he knew it was a trap, but he still jumped in.
One reason was kindness, and the other was because of that old witch.
In the end, the old witch gathered so many so-called famous and upright sects to deal with her, just to seize her cultivation elixir.
Speaking of which, the most cruel one was still that old witch!
Xiaoyue frowned slightly. Some answers came out at once, but she herself was unwilling to admit it.
"All the villagers in that village died during the May Day holiday, so this conspiracy must be aimed at the royal family!" Xiaoyue said.
"Well, I said that someone wants to get the emperor down! The situation in Xiyue is unclear recently. As far as I know, they haven't made much movement for the time being, because the incident in Beiling has also shocked them to some extent." Cixin said.
"Xiaoxin, why don't you send someone to infiltrate the people and find out their true understanding of the stone dragon coming out of the water?"
Cixin looked at Xiaoxi'er, and then at Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue looked outside the carriage. In fact
, she heard the voice of the lady...but she was less and less willing to find out the truth.
"Have you been with Dongju for the past six months and are too familiar with her tricks? Hongmei, you should also learn some of Dongju's tricks and go out to find out more detailed folk rumors about the stone dragon emerging from the water!" Ci Xin said to Hongmei.
Hongmei stopped the carriage, turned around, opened the curtain, and said: "The stone dragon emerged from the water, and a new emperor is about to be born. In Chizhou in the south, hundreds of birds appeared to pay homage to the phoenix, indicating that this emperor may..."
"Is it a woman?" Ci Xin looked at Xiaoyue.
"Don't look at me. I won't usurp my brother's throne. There's no need!" Xiao Yue said, looking at Xiao Xi'er, and said, "Xi'er is also a good baby. I just hope she grows up happily. She won't covet the throne."
"Your Highness, Imperial Master, please get off the carriage!" Hong Mei didn't say anything more, but got off the carriage, opened the curtain and said.
Xiao Yue and Ci Xin got off the carriage.
The Qian family may have received instructions from the head of the family. When they saw the princess and the imperial master, they came forward to pay their respects, and then led the way for the princess and the imperial master to walk into the palace.
"Our master has given instructions a long time ago, saying that whenever the princess comes, she must tell everything she knows and lead the princess to thoroughly investigate every corner!" said a servant of the Qian family.
"Your Highness, this is our eldest lady's yard!" the maid said as she led Xiaoyue and her entourage inside.
