Chapter 418: Strong outside and infatuated inside male protagonist x beautiful and cruel reborn female protagonist 12
"Qiao'er, my people have captured several spies planted by King Cheng in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you don't go, they may take action against you immediately."
Aunt Qiao lay on the table with her head down, looking dejected. She was so tired. Why was it so difficult to live? There were wolves in front and tigers behind. It was dangerous everywhere.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. Can I send more people to protect you?"
"Yeah." Jinjin Qiao was not unhappy, she just felt very powerless. After being reborn, she seemed to be still so weak. Others plotted against her, but she could only rely on Xie Anhuai.
"Your Majesty, we caught two grooms sneaking around outside."
An Er grabbed two men, one in each hand. Both of them were dressed as grooms. They had sneaky eyes and it was obvious that they were not good people.
"Kneel down!" An Er shouted fiercely and kicked the two men hard on the knees.
Xie Anhuai looked at the two men with fiery eyes and asked, "Tell me, why are you sneaking around outside? What's your purpose?"
The two men looked at each other, confused. Could they be in the same group?
"Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I am just a groom. I have no purpose in coming here. I just want to take a walk. Yes, a walk."
Xie Anhuai smiled coldly, "Take a walk? This is where you can come? Tell the truth, or I am not a soft-hearted person."
As he spoke, he drew his sword and stabbed one of the men in the leg.
A scream was heard and it could be heard clearly in the surrounding tents. Some people came to inquire, but they were all sent away by Xie Anhuai's men.
As soon as An came back, his face looked very ugly.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Chen Yu said that both bottles of water were drugged, and it was the most potent aphrodisiac."
One could imagine how furious Xie Anhuai was when he heard this, and he couldn't help but put his sword on a man's neck.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
The man was almost frightened to death. He lowered his head to look at the sharp sword at his neck, his lips turning pale and trembling with fear.
"I...I don't know who it was, but a maid told me to do this."
Xie Anhuai took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want me to do?"
The man didn't dare to hide it. Maybe he could die less painfully if he told her. "Let me watch Miss Qiao's tent. If Miss Qiao drinks the tea, let me come in and do something indecent to her."
"Your Majesty, please kill me. I have no choice but to do so. They have arrested my family members and I dare not disobey their orders."
Xie Anhuai exerted force and the man's neck was cut.
The other man was so frightened that he almost fainted when he saw Xie Anhuai kill a man so easily.
"It's your turn. Tell me, who sent you here and what are you here for?"
The man swallowed and said, "Yes... yes... it's a wet nurse. Yes, it should be a wet nurse. Let the slave defile Miss Qiao."
"I am also... I am also forced into this situation"
"I know who told me to do this. I secretly followed and saw the person behind the scenes."
"Please... please, Your Majesty, give me a quick death."
Xie Anhuai swung the sword a little harder, and blood immediately appeared on the man's neck.
"say"
The man closed his eyes and said, "She is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. That's all I know."
Xie Anhuai looked at the man with murderous intent, "I will not kill you now, but take the teapot on the table and give it to the Shangshu's daughter. Do to Qiao'er whatever they ask you to do."
"Don't play tricks on me, or I'll make you die in an ugly way."
"Drag it out and clean it up"
Xie Anhuai sat on the chair, pinching his brows in annoyance. The Shangshu's daughter was easy to deal with, but the maids in the palace... There were so many maids in the palace, who on earth wanted to harm Qiao'er?
"Your Majesty, why don't you change tents? The smell here is too strong."
Xie Anhuai waved his hand and said, "What is Qiaoer doing?"
An Yi's mouth twitched. They had just separated half an hour ago, and he was already thinking about her again.
"Your Highness, the future princess has already gone to bed."
Xie Anhuai waved his hand and said, "Everyone go down, we don't need anyone to serve us anymore."
The night was silent except for the crackling sound of burning torches.
Jinjin Qiao felt a little cold, so she reached out and felt something warm, and in a daze she fell into Xie Anhuai's arms.
"Miss, Miss, wake up!"
Aunt Qiao rubbed her eyes with her hands, pouted and said, "What time is it?"
Xiao Tao said with gossip in her eyes, "Miss, it's not even daybreak yet, something happened to the tent in the Shangshu Mansion."
"Hmm?" Qiao Jinjin sobered up a little. "What happened?"
Xiaotao described it vividly.
Li Xueqing was raped by a groom. There was not a single piece of good flesh on her body. It was a miserable sight.
The groom's fate was not good either, as he was chopped to pieces by the angry Shangshu.
"Miss, the life of this young lady from the Shangshu Mansion is over"
Jin Jin Qiao curled her lips and smiled. If her guess was correct, the one who wanted to drug her yesterday should be the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and the fact that she is in this state now should be Ah Huai's masterpiece.
Minister Li was so angry that he vomited blood and leaned on the chair for a long time without catching his breath. Doctor Yu felt his pulse and said that since the vomiting of blood was caused by anger, it would be best if he could be sent back home for recuperation.
Li Xueqing pulled her hair like a madman, her eyes wide open, "Ahhhhh, nanny, I won't live any longer"
The wet nurse's eyes were full of hatred. Wasn't that the groom the one she had bribed?
"Miss Qiao, you are so cruel to harm our young lady like this."
"Miss, please don't be like this. I will avenge you. It's all Miss Qiao's fault."
Li Xueqing's eyes turned red, and she said viciously, "Nurse, I want her to die!"
"You don't have to follow me back home, just stay here and find a chance to kill her."
The wet nurse closed her eyes and nodded. She knew very well in her heart that her young lady would be killed immediately after returning home on the pretext of being seriously ill.
After what happened, Minister Li would not let Li Xueqing live.
It would have been fine if no one else knew about it, but now everyone knows that their daughter was raped by a groom.
Aunt Qiao didn't feel sorry for Li Xueqing at all. She reaped the fruits of her own action.
"Ah Huai, are you saying that someone in the palace is also going to use this method to deal with me?"
Aunt Qiao was simply stunned. "But I didn't offend anyone in the palace."
"Even if you have offended someone, shouldn't you dare to do anything?"
Suddenly, Qiao Jinjin and Xie Anhuai looked at each other and said in unison, "Xiao Shufei!"
Xie Anhuai hit her hard and said, "It must be her."
Aunt Qiao was almost mad to death. This mother and son were simply crazy. Why did they keep picking on her?
"Ah Huai, what should we do? It's not easy for us to take action since Concubine Xiao Shu is in the palace."
Xie Anhuai pursed his lips, his eyes flashing with coldness. "So what if it's in the palace? An Yi, find a man to put in Concubine Xiao Shu's bed. I'll leave this matter to you."
