"Forget it. It's hard to serve people like you who are disloyal. Someone, drag them out and give them thirty sticks."
Zhao Xin also waved his hand very calmly, his expression solemn, looking at the two people with anger. Although he had imprisoned the Queen Mother in this deep palace just to let her think about it.
Even if he killed the Queen Mother or let her jump into the well, this person should not be bullied by only two little palace maids, and even become such a... disgusting appearance.
"Aijia, I have never suffered such a thing in my life... Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?"
The Queen Mother sat on the ground, a tear fell from the corner of her eye and then fell to the ground with a crackling sound. The tears spread out, and the Queen Mother looked extremely embarrassed.
"Alright, arrange for someone to wash up. I have some shocking news to tell you."
Zhao Xin gritted his teeth when he said this. It didn't look like a good thing anyway, but the queen mother still went to wash and dress up with a good mood. Now she is indifferent.
It has been so long, and the Cui family's relatives still haven't come to rescue her. Not even a word of help or a letter has been sent to this deep palace. She has really misjudged these two wolf cubs!
But what the Queen Mother never thought of was that if the Cui family had not perished, would those eunuchs and palace maids dare to treat her like this?
The two new palace maids seemed particularly sensible, but behind their sensibility was the fact that they had seen the murderous nature of His Majesty. They knew that if they did not do as he said, they would probably suffer the same miserable fate as these two people.
"Your Majesty, I have finished washing up now, please continue."
She is strong and can bear it.
"Your Cui family is dead."
Boom——
A bolt of lightning struck her head like a blinding bolt of lightning. The Queen Mother's eyes widened as she took a few steps back, finally falling to the ground. Fortunately, the maid next to her supported her, or she would have collapsed.
"What...what did you say?"
The situation is urgent. Now the Queen Mother doesn't even call him Your Majesty by his honorific title.
"I didn't hear it. Little Chenzi, please repeat it to me at a moderate volume so that the Queen Mother can hear it."
The little Chenzi raised the corner of his lips and said four words cruelly.
"The Cui family is dead."
The Queen Mother fainted.
"Someone come! The Queen Mother has fainted!"
Honestly, this palace used to be so bustling, but now it's so quiet that not even a frog comes. The Queen Mother once built the largest lotus pond in her palace, and the bridge was built by the best craftsmen.
How glorious it was before, how miserable it is now.
Zhao Xin stood in the courtyard and looked into the distance. He immediately noticed the bluestone path that was covered with weeds. This was probably because no one was walking on it. Besides, these two people were probably too lazy to pull out the weeds.
"Xiao Chenzi?"
"The servant is here."
"You said...why don't these two run away?"
This question stumped Xiao Chenzi. He was stunned for a moment and stood aside thinking.
"I don't know."
"So what do you know, eating?"
This is true. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are the greatest blessings in life. How can one not eat or drink nowadays? Moreover, why did His Majesty suddenly ask him this question? It really made him helpless.
"Your Majesty, these two are probably the head maid and the accompanying eunuch in this palace. They probably stayed here for such a long time without getting any benefits, so..."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Xin did show some signs of awakening, but this reminder made Zhao Xin remember something. He then narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Chenzi with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Then I say, if I were to suffer the same fate, what would happen to you, a servant?"
The little eunuch was not very tall, but he had a very quick mind.
"The Great Qin Dynasty will flourish in the future. How could Your Majesty become like that?"
"Answer me!"
At this time, there were only two of them left in Yong'an Palace. The remaining guards followed Zhao Xin's orders and carried the queen mother to the imperial physician for treatment.
It's called treatment, but it means helping to prescribe some medicine to make up for the damage caused by being locked up in Yong'an Palace for a long time over the past year.
After all, if such an incident were to be spread out and heard by the people of the Qin Dynasty, it would damage the impression of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
As for what to do next, it depends on the Queen Mother's intentions. However, if she is really on his side and doesn't do anything behind his back, then...
Then Zhao Xin could reluctantly push her back to the position of Queen Mother. From then on, the Queen Mother could enjoy wealth and glory until her death.
If he didn't obey, Zhao Xin didn't know what he could do. After all, it was more important not to leave trouble for those who were closest to him.
Zhao Xin also understood it.
This was even more true for the eunuch. Since he was following next to him, he naturally wanted the eunuch to tell him everything he needed to say.
It’s best not to hide anything.
After all, the emperor is the one who hates his subordinates hiding things from him the most.
"Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you. As long as you don't despise me, that's all."
Zhao Xin smiled brightly. He didn't care whether the words were true or not, as long as he had the intention. He knew that Ru Ru had truly lost his status. These servants would probably just run away. If he was so entangled, what was the point?
"Well, since you've already promised, then send someone to clean up Yong'an Palace. Look at the cobwebbed doors and windows. I wonder what those two servants were doing in this palace."
"And send them out to verify how many palace maids and eunuchs have been sent into this palace."
Although it is less than the empress dowager's previous share, he has probably sent nearly 20 to 30 people in here and there. How come there are only these two left now? If you look at the situation, it is estimated that all of them will be beaten to death.
When Xiao Chenzi saw Zhao Xin's eyes, he probably understood something.
So he immediately gave orders, asking them to quickly find those slaves and servants who had fled from Yong'an Palace to the concubines and other places, and the first thing to do when they were found was to capture them and give them thirty strokes of the cane.
Saying that beating them with thirty boards was easy was probably just an excuse, and they were planning to take their lives directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I want to see the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty...
How many people today can be as open-minded as him? Even now that he has ascended to the throne, he can still be so kind to his enemies.
In fact, to be honest, he had no intention of promoting this person to the position of empress dowager. What he wanted was to send this empress dowager directly to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of the late emperor and all the ancestors.
Zhao Xin didn't want to see this person from the beginning to the end. After all, this person would not only sign the terms that would humiliate the country but also lead to his betrayal. If he was not dissuaded, he would be sold out without even knowing it.
