Gu Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, then his tone became firm again: "Yier, you are the only one I trust. Won't you help me?"
"Don't worry, you just need to go to him and find out the location of the military token, and Brother Shaoyu will come to pick you up."
"My position as wife will only be reserved for you, Yi'er, I am sincere to you."
"Sending you to him hurts like a knife, but I trust no one but you. Will you help me?"
Xu Jinyi nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, then you wait for my news at home. Although the emperor no longer selects concubines, I can arrange for you to enter as a palace maid."
"I'll make arrangements for you to get as close to him as possible. You have to try your best to get his attention, okay?"
Xu Jinyi lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with sarcasm.
They say they don’t know that the people who serve the tyrant may lose their lives at any time, but they can be killed without any concern.
What a scumbag indeed.
On the other side, General Xu also received the news from Tutor Liu. He knew that the emperor had no intention of letting him go, and he felt extremely regretful.
So when Xu Jinyi said she wanted to enter the palace as a maid, he did not stop her, but nodded in agreement.
Because he didn't know when the tyrant would send people to confiscate his house, Xu Jinyi might be able to survive by entering the palace as a maid.
What Xu Jinyi didn't know was that when she followed Gu Shaoyu's men out through the back door, a luxurious carriage drove past her.
That person was the tyrant she wanted to approach.
The tyrant with a stern face sat in the carriage, looking at the luxurious general's mansion, even the plaque was golden.
With an evil smile, he ordered the guards to surround the entire general's mansion.
The same thing happened to the Ling family. They were raided on the same day as the Xu family, and all family members were exiled to the border. General Xu and General Ling were detained first.
Wait for the results of the investigation from the Ministry of Punishment before retrial.
Anyway, the evidence against the two has been almost collected, and they are certain to be convicted.
The family members were just punished first.
General Xu was terrified of being locked up in a dungeon with rats as companions, but fortunately her daughter did not suffer such a fate.
General Xu submitted his confession and only asked the emperor to spare his family.
General Ling, who was standing by, became furious when he saw the rotten rice and vegetables brought by the jailer, and slammed his palm to the ground.
Seeing that Lao Xu was already sitting cross-legged, looking like he was waiting to die, he became even more furious.
He sarcastically said, "Do you think that if you hand in your confession and distribute the money you've embezzled over the years, the emperor will let you go? Don't dream. Don't you know his methods?"
Seeing that Lao Xu ignored him, he said even more viciously: "Do you think he will let your daughter go? It's even more impossible? I'm afraid that after catching your daughter, her fate will only be worse!"
"Do you think you can get away with this by bringing me down?"
The two were not imprisoned together, but in opposite cells, otherwise they would have been fighting by now.
General Xu snorted coldly, "So what if I bring you down? You've treated me like a fool all these years. This is just tit-for-tat."
"It's really you! Xu Yong, you idiot! Idiot!"
"When I get out, I will grind you to dust and scatter your bones to ashes, leaving your two children without a burial place—"
His two children were his Achilles' heel. General Xu stared at the person opposite him with gloomy eyes, and in return the jailer came.
Seeing this, General Ling panicked: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"
General Xu curled his lips and said, "Although I am a reckless man, I still have the habit of keeping accounts over the years."
"I just told the jailer to inform the emperor where the account book is."
General Ling's eyes were bloodshot, he shook the prison door and roared.
The tyrant looked at the confession letter and the account books of corruption committed by General Xu and General Ling over the years.
Without even looking at them, he ordered people to capture the remnants, even Brother Xu who was far away at the border was not spared.
Eunuch Li came forward, holding the sign from the Imperial Household Department. "Your Majesty, would you like someone to serve you tonight?"
As the emperor's personal eunuch, Xiao Li knew best that the concubines who slept with him would eventually be killed, simply because of their stupidity.
The emperor was unwilling to deal with these people and sent death warriors to take their place. If these people pretended to be completely ignorant, they could clearly survive.
However, these people all want to die.
Of course, there are also some who are eager to die and want to seduce the emperor because they think their life is too long.
The tyrant glanced at the countless cards and turned over the first one.
When Eunuch Li saw that the emperor flipped over the name card of Concubine Hua from Fanghua Palace, he knew in his heart that Concubine Hua was a pitiful person.
On the other side, Concubine Hua received the news that the emperor was coming, so she dressed up early, put on her newly bought jewelry and waited.
The tyrant is just going through the motions, and someone else will naturally complete the rest of the process.
But the moment he stepped into Fanghua Palace and saw Concubine Hua, his eyes were fixed on the jewelry on her head.
He strode over in an inappropriate manner, pulled off the hairpin on Concubine Hua's head, and looked at her repeatedly.
His expression became excited, his breathing became rapid, and he tried hard to suppress his ecstasy.
He calmly asked the bewildered Concubine Hua, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Where did you get this hairpin?"
The tyrant's expression became nervous, and his hands holding the hairpin were shaking.
The eunuch Li beside him was surprised. Having been with the emperor for so many years, he was the person who knew the emperor best.
This was the first time he had seen an emperor lose his composure like this.
oh!
It wasn't the first time. Another time was when he first entered the palace and was assigned to the emperor's side.
On that snowy day, the emperor was still the sixth prince. He knelt in the cold palace, unwilling to leave, crying and looking for the fairy sister.
Hua Fei didn't understand why the emperor was suddenly interested in the hairpin she had just bought, but it was a good thing that it could attract the emperor's attention.
"Your Majesty, this was purchased yesterday at the Treasure Pavilion when I went to Lingfo Temple to burn incense and pray for a child."
"Have you asked about the origins of this hairpin? Have you seen any jewelry similar to this hairpin?"
Concubine Hua shook her head and had some guesses in her mind when she heard the emperor's question.
She felt a little regretful and thought that maybe she shouldn't have bought the hairpin back.
Judging from the emperor's expression, he is clearly looking for the owner of this hairpin.
If the person who owns this hairpin is not a woman, then it could be a man.
Hua Fei had a vague feeling that she had found an enemy.
Without getting the answer he wanted, the emperor strode away.
He used his lightness skills to leave the palace, and he couldn't wait to know the owner of the hairpin.
I entered the Treasure Pavilion from the back door and found Chun Xia directly.
Yes, Chunxia, the palace maid in the imperial kitchen.
Now she is in charge of several shops in the capital and is employed by the emperor. She is no longer the timid palace maid.
When Li Junci saw her, he asked, "Is she back?"
