Chapter 257: Life is worse than death
Everyone says that the imperial palace is the most supreme place in the entire Great Qi Kingdom.
It is said that once you enter this place, you will be transformed from a pheasant into a phoenix, which is even more amazing than ordinary people. Everyone wants to get in at all costs.
The eunuchs here may have entered the palace because their families fell into poverty and they could no longer make a living, or perhaps they wanted to enter the palace to be eunuchs and serve as the chief stewards. But no matter what, they came in, and no matter what, their state of mind changed.
The highest place is also the most dangerous and darkest place. Saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing can bring about fatal disaster.
Ji Chenchuan's lips were pressed into a straight line. He looked at Huang Ligou with cold eyes. He listened to him kneeling before him and crying out for injustice, listened to him kneeling and begging for mercy, and listened to him questioning him. Why did a sickly prince come to detain him? Wasn't he afraid of the emperor's blame?
Qingshan slapped him again without saying a word, causing him to spit blood and his teeth to be found on the ground.
He had been beaten beyond recognition, but this was not what Ji Chenchuan wanted. Killing him directly would be too easy for him. Thinking about the things he had done in the past, they were absolutely unforgivable.
Huang Ligou burst into tears again. His mouth was swollen beyond recognition and he could not make out clear words, but one could still understand what he wanted to say.
He wanted to ask why he treated him like this, right?
Qingshan threw something out without saying a word.
It was a pitch-black waist badge with a name written on it. However, because it had been touched for a long time, the name had become stained and only the word "Liu" could be vaguely seen.
He must have spent countless nights thinking about the murder.
Huang Ligou's face turned pale, and he finally understood why he ended up like this.
"No, no, that's not the case. Please spare me, Prince. It was Guard Liu who made things difficult for me. I just brought the wrong fruit. What's the big deal?"
"Also, it wasn't me who killed him, it was the Crown Prince. Yes, it was the Crown Prince who did it. I have nothing to do with it. If you don't believe me, you can check it out, my Lord."
You're about to die, and you still want to shirk responsibility?
Qingshan didn't say anything and cut off his nose with a knife.
Blood was gushing out.
Huang Ligou screamed, covered his nose and fell to the ground in pain again.
None of Ji Chenchuan and the others spoke, only Qingshan kept attacking. Every time he said something wrong, he would hit him or use a knife.
The most terrifying thing is not being angry, but quietly watching a clown-like person being cut to death one by one. His shouting, crying, and begging for mercy are completely useless.
Huang Ligou wanted to live, he didn't want to die, but he didn't know how to exonerate himself, so he could only blame his mistakes on others again and again.
Until one of his legs was cut off by Qingshan, and then Qingshan chopped the leg into mud in front of him.
He panicked and then he understood something.
He confessed honestly.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"
"I was the one who killed Liu, but who can blame me? I just made a small mistake. Why couldn't he forgive me?"
"Who the heck is this Liu? He's just a small guard. Why would he do this?"
"But I knew I couldn't do anything to him directly, so I did as they said in the opera, waiting for the right opportunity. Finally, I found my chance, hahahaha."
"The man surnamed Liu finally fell into my hands. Hahahaha, the first thing I did was to tear his body. I want him to be a eunuch like me before he dies. I want him to die in peace."
"Hahahaha, hahahaha."
How crazy twisted people are.
Did you see it this time?
Ji Chenchuan still didn't say anything. He looked in the direction of the secret compartment, where a supreme being was also looking at it silently.
The emperor clenched his fingers. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have known that those people in the palace who kept their heads down and never raised them could have such vicious thoughts and methods?
"Eunuch Lin, kill all nine generations of his clan."
Eunuch Lin gasped, his heart trembling.
Since His Majesty took the throne, he has never issued such a serious decree. No matter how much hatred and cruel he is, it is only a matter of executing the entire family and killing all nine generations of the clan. That means that this clan will be wiped out, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, and completely disappear from this world.
He didn't dare disobey the order, he knew that this time it was really too much.
Huang Ligou is not dead, at least not tonight.
The palace guard who took over the matter frowned slightly, thinking that these young men from noble families were no good. They didn't even kill a single person. Unlike them, they could be made to suffer a fate worse than death with just one finger.
However, when they pushed the door open and saw the scene inside.
They felt that it was too early to say this.
Then, vomit, vomit, vomit.
They rushed out one by one and crawled against the wall, vomiting violently.
I have seen many bloody scenes, but this is the first time I have seen one as bloody as this.
The ground was covered in blood red. At first glance, it looked like blood, but upon closer inspection, it was actually minced meat mixed with blood.
What’s even more terrifying is that even so, the eunuch is still not dead?
Who can do this?
"When we meet this prince in the future, we should take a detour."
"agree."
It’s so terrible, so terrible. They don’t want to end up like this.
But, do they think that tonight will just pass like this?
No, no, no.
This is just the beginning.
The emperor's palace guards secretly searched the entire palace and found out those eunuchs and palace maids who were as vicious as Huang Ligou, or even more vicious than him.
For a moment, everyone was panicked and at a loss, but no one dared to resist and could only allow them to search.
When Queen Feng heard the news, she didn't take it seriously.
"Just let them go. They're just a few eunuchs and palace maids. Could it be that if His Majesty took action, would I, the Empress, have to do the same? Do they have the right to do so?"
"The most important thing to me right now is Ji'er. He's been grounded, and I don't know how his condition is progressing."
But Concubine Ning was different.
"Come here, go check and see what happened today?"
Zong Yuancheng was half asleep and half awake.
"Mother, please stop being so busy and go to sleep quickly, otherwise you won't be pretty tomorrow."
Concubine Ning looked at her son, who was much taller than her, and saw that he didn't care about anything, and she was furious.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep. There's chaos outside and you're still sleeping. You? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Also, this is no small matter. In all these years in the palace, we've never gathered all the eunuchs and maids together. Especially now, I always feel like something is wrong."
The matter in the palace had just ended, and the emperor came up with this move right after. What exactly did he mean by this?
She always did things with confidence, but now she had no confidence at all and couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking. How could she sleep?
"Hey, don't sleep anymore, get up quickly, Ji Chenchuan must still be in the palace, go find Ji Chenchuan."
