Chapter 51: Punishment

As soon as Si Linglong returned to the side hall, Fu Tai came back with Jin Yusan.

He did not say where he was rubbing it, but just smiled and said, "The emperor just ordered me to deliver this gold and jade powder to you."

Si Linglong naturally accepted it.

This is what the dog emperor deserves.

The wound in Si Linglong's mouth still hurts.

Fortunately, Helian Yue bit the inside and no one outside could see it. Si Linglong was naturally too embarrassed to tell the people in the palace that her mouth corner was broken.

What if they are curious about why it broke?

Just think about it, it's social death.

After Futai left, Zhusha came over with a smile and said, "The emperor is really kind to our noble lady. He gave her such precious medicine without saying anything. If you rub it on the wound on your neck, there will definitely be no scar."

Si Linglong curled the corner of her mouth but did not explain.

Perhaps because of this incident, Si Linglong didn't see Helian Yue for several days.

Helian Yue, on the other hand, didn't care about this matter anymore.

After knowing the truth about Qi Guiren's assassination, Helian Yue simply used this as a breakthrough point and directly released Dingshan Gong. At the same time, he also released a series of evil deeds that the secret guards had previously investigated, such as Dingshan Gong's buying and selling of official positions and tolerating lawlessness under his command.

Within just a few days, Duke Dingshan was stripped of his title, exiled to the southern border with his family, and was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree. His son was sentenced to immediate execution for raping a woman and killing someone.

For a time, the atmosphere in the court was tense, but no one dared to plead for Duke Dingshan.

It was a fact that Guiren Qi was the assassin. However, the emperor was well prepared to uncover so many pieces of evidence of Duke Dingshan's crimes in such a short time.

It's also Lord Dingshan's fault that he has acted a little too recklessly in recent years.

In front of Linghua Palace, Concubine Li, who was originally under house arrest, somehow ran out and knelt in front of the palace gate, crying and begging the emperor to make a new punishment for her.

Si Linglong was planning to take Xue Sha out for a walk, but when she reached the door, she saw Lipin kneeling outside the palace gate in a frightened state. She was completely different from the domineering and arrogant girl she had been when she first met her.

What's even more ironic is that it's still in the same place.

Zhu Sha, who was standing by, saw this from a distance, and couldn't help showing a bit of gloating on her face, "I heard that Lord Dingshan will be exiled soon. She bullied you so much in front of the Linghua Palace that day. You must not let her off so easily now."

Upon hearing this, Si Linglong couldn't help but take a look at the girl.

She really didn't know what to say to this maid whom her original self relied on so much.

He just took one last look outside the palace gate, patted Xue Sha's head, turned around and walked back, "The weather is bad today, I won't take a walk."

Xuesha shook his furry ears, and his fox eyes visibly shone. He turned around happily and followed Si Linglong back.

Zhu Sha wanted to say something after hearing this, but Si Linglong obviously didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

Concubine Li is not a good person. Many people in the palace have been harmed by her, but she is not one of them.

Even if she had targeted the original owner, that kick from me was revenge.

What's more, after today, Concubine Li's life in the palace will probably not be any easier.

And she doesn't have the hobby of kicking someone when he's down.

Just when Si Linglong turned around with Xue Sha, Lipin, who was kneeling outside the palace, had already seen her. At this moment, she didn't care about anything and just wanted to grab every life-saving straw.

"Lang Guiren! Lang Guiren, please don't leave!"

As Lipin spoke, she struggled and tried to stand up and rush inside, but Linghua Palace was heavily guarded. The Emperor had not lost his temper yet, and Lipin was still Lipin. She knelt outside the palace gate, so the guards naturally did not dare to do anything to her.

But if she wanted to get in, that was another matter.

Concubine Li had just taken two steps forward, without even touching the gate of Linghua Palace, when she was pinned to the ground by two guards.

Her well-maintained face hit the ground and blood even flowed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were always fixed on the receding figure inside the palace gate.

She watched her turn the corner of the corridor with the fox and disappear, but her tearful eyes kept staring in that direction, and hatred slowly filled her eyes.

Si Linglong!

If you treat me like this today, I will make you regret it someday!
