Chapter 1886 Do you think Li Lai is the only sinner?
"As for you—"
Zhu Feng turned his gaze and looked at Li Lai coldly again. Although there was no murderous intent in his eyes, the strong sense of oppression from his body still made Li Lai unable to raise his head.
Everyone in the room held their breath.
Zhu Feng said, "I will naturally punish you as well."
“…”
"But not yet."
After saying that, he raised his head and said, "Come here."
Immediately, the two guards who had brought Li Lai in stepped forward, and Zhu Feng said, "Take Li Lai away and lock him up to await his fate."
"yes!"
They immediately dragged Li Lai up from the ground, and this time Li Lai was very calm. Perhaps it was because he saw Chu Ping here, safe and sound, so he was completely relieved.
He just turned around and said to her, "Take good care of yourself."
"Li Lai!"
Chu Ping couldn't see anything and was so anxious that she kept reaching out and grabbing around, but the person had already been taken away. She was so anxious that tears were streaming down her face and she struggled to keep up. Fortunately, Xue Ling stepped forward and supported her.
Comforting him: "Don't be like this, take care of yourself."
Chu Ping knelt in front of Zhu Feng crying again, kowtowed, and soon her forehead was broken and blood flowed.
She cried, "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me."
“…”
"I know he deserves to die for doing all this. It's totally wrong. I beg Your Majesty to have some consideration for him. He—" At this point, she seemed to be unaware that Li Lai's actions were only for her. They were so sinful that she couldn't even find an excuse to beg for mercy. She could only cry, "Your Majesty, please spare his life. I'm willing to die in his place!"
Everyone felt a little sorry to see her like this.
But no one spoke.
We all know in our hearts that no matter how touching their stories are, sin is sin.
For Zhu Feng, if an official embezzled money and accepted bribes to support a concubine, no matter how good the relationship between him and his concubine was, he would be cut into pieces if he fell into his hands.
So he said coldly, "Who to kill, when to kill, and how to kill, I have my own ideas. You can't come here crying and making a fuss. Come, take her away."
Hearing him say this, Chu Ping was afraid of angering him and didn't dare to say anything else.
Several little girls came forward and helped Chu Ping out. Nan Yan thought for a moment and added, "Take good care of her."
"yes."
Gradually, they walked away.
After Chu Ping left, Xue Ling let out a long sigh.
Nan Yan looked at her: "What do you want to say?"
Xue Ling looked up at her, then at Zhu Feng, took a step forward, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, I have some of that cyclamen they just mentioned in my collection at home."
"oh."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, but was not too surprised.
Because just now, when they mentioned the herb Cyclamen, Xue Ling's reaction had already given her some clues.
She asked, "Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Xue Ling lowered her head and said, "Li Lai is a criminal. I don't know how the emperor will punish him, so I can't tell him about this matter in person. I can only report it to the emperor and the queen first."
Zhu Feng glanced at her coldly.
"You are quite obedient."
“…”
"Do you think Li Lai is the only sinner?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ling immediately understood and quickly knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, spare my life."
