Looking at it this way, it was indeed true. The well mouth was tied with circles of ropes, and it looked very solid. Even when Xiao Chenzi next to it kicked it, there was no movement.
"this…"
He just stroked the knot on the rope again. It was tied so tightly that it didn't seem like the strength this group of people could muster.
"Interesting."
He just nodded his head, and the guards behind him walked over, took out their swords and cut the rope in two cuts. Seeing the rope dropped on the ground, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Where did you get the rope?"
Zhao Xin looked at all the people standing in front of him. They had different thoughts in their minds and spoke evasively, but even so, they kept silent.
"After so many years in the cold palace, your edges haven't been smoothed out yet. Do I have to send someone to personally fight you to make you understand what true pain is?"
The group of people still didn't speak.
"Kill the one on the left."
Then he turned his head and ignored the man's wailing.
When an executioner raised his knife, he was stopped by Zhao Xin.
"You can choose one to die with you."
In the cold palace, most of the relationships between people are rigid, and naturally there are enemies. Upon hearing this, the maid's eyes lit up and she looked directly at her master of so many years.
I have been treated like a pig or a dog by her for so many years, and now I can finally take revenge.
"Your Majesty, I hope to take my master with me before I die."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience booed.
The master also picked up the gravel nearby and threw it at the maid. I don't know if he was scared or something, but even his speech became incoherent.
"You...I...you slave!"
"I...I'm going to beat you to death right here!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the person next to him was beheaded, which scared the group of people who kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word out of their fears.
"Ouch, I'm so scared..."
"Did you see that? The master didn't even finish his words before his head fell to the ground... Ouch, look at that!"
"Take her away. As for this maid, take her to the Heavenly Prison for trial. As for the two who tried to escape, take them to the Heavenly Prison and make them serve you well. I want to hear the truth."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the order was given, the group of people simply grabbed the other person and dragged him away like piglets, leaving scattered traces of blood on the ground in the form of long strips.
He was dragged away and beaten by the guards on his way back. Even in the cold palace, his body was fragile. It was lucky that he didn't die.
"Your Majesty...it's unfair, we are wronged..."
But in this situation, no one listened to them. Everyone was busy with their own affairs and stood aside, not daring to speak. Rumors had it that the emperor was indeed violent, and after seeing him in person, they finally understood what the emperor was like.
"So, do you have a clear idea of who did it now?"
"Your Majesty...it has nothing to do with...me."
After saying this, the emperor next to him just turned his head and didn't intend to ask any more questions.
This group of people were afraid that they would be hated by others if they said something wrong, so he didn't plan to put too much pressure on them.
"Then you guys think about it carefully. I don't know when my hands will itch again."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
The group of people knelt down to see the emperor off, and when they stood up, their palms were covered in sweat. The scene just now was a big challenge for them.
Especially challenges that may happen to you next time.
Naturally, they didn't dare to try it.
After the emperor left, they stood up and discussed with each other. They didn't know what the next plan was, nor did they know who had blocked the well and harmed that person.
Now I'm afraid I'm just hiding among them like a quail.
"Who is it? He has the guts to do it but doesn't have the guts to admit it. What kind of character is this that has caused us all to be threatened?"
The man stared around, and the people he saw all had fierce expressions, as if this expression could prove to them that they were not the ones who did it.
And soon someone jumped out.
"Why are you stirring up trouble here again? I'm afraid that person is you. Besides, you and that master and servant have never gotten along. And the last time the emperor came, you were sick and didn't come out."
"You...you're talking nonsense!"
The two people started arguing right away. Neither of them was convinced, so they started swearing at each other.
There is no image of a famous family at all.
Maybe they are used to staying in the cold palace. Look at these people, they are swearing all the time, and each of them tries to use the most vicious language to curse the other party, as if saying so can clear their suspicion.
After all, if he was disturbed in the cold palace, a big family that supports each other, he would be afraid that whatever he did in the future would be directly obstructed and opposed by this group of people.
Also, not many people come to this cold palace.
Just like before, the empress dowager was framed like that, but was only discovered in the end. And in the end, those maids were buried with the empress dowager.
As for them, they naturally made all the money from the Queen Mother.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. In this cold palace, as long as they have money, they can live a comfortable life. However, these people are all pawns directly abandoned by the family. It is extremely difficult to get the support of the family.
It's as difficult as climbing to the sky.
So they could only spend huge sums of money to trick the guards at the gate into sending them some things from time to time.
I have to say that the money given was really too much, and I was bribed directly.
Naturally, this situation is not surprising at this stage. After all, bribery has been applicable from ancient times to the present, and there will always be people who succumb to the prestige of money.
Sometimes they would grit their teeth and cry out loud to their personal maids in the cold palace.
Think about their previous glory, who would dare to anger these imperial concubines? At the beginning, the harem was sparsely populated, and the eunuchs and guards were all suppressed under their feet.
After being thrown into the cold palace by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor one after another, her glory was probably gone.
All the chess pieces that were previously used for matchmaking became nothing after they entered the cold palace, and even their own families had directly given up on them.
Some even go so far as to say that Rongguang is no longer expelled from the family for fear of bringing shame on them.
It's because they are afraid of squeezing the money out of those families' pockets.
They thought about it and realized that there were no other disadvantages in this cold palace except that it was cold in winter and cool in summer. It would be better for them to stay in this cold palace.
It's too tiring to intrigue.
They are afraid of being killed one day.
A foot of white silk, a cup of poisoned wine, and a dagger.
Never mind, they've let it go.
This group of people seemed to have realized the truth during their quarrel. Naturally, the real evildoers among them did not want this group of people to suddenly understand the truth and become Buddhas on the spot.
"Are we going to be like fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will?"
