Chapter 62 That's All

"What you said... is true?" Zhu Sha asked hoarsely, with expectation in her eyes, but more of resentment.

Lipin looked at her and just smiled, "Of course."

Of course it's fake.

Idiot.

Zhu Sha believed it.

And I believe it firmly.

Otherwise, why would Si Linglong keep her to recuperate for several days before suddenly kicking her out of the palace?

It turns out that this is the truth!

Lipin looked at the hatred rising in Zhusha's eyes with satisfaction, and continued to attack.

"You suffered so much for her, but she only worried that you would take away her favor. Today I have witnessed the so-called deep love between master and servant. After the thirty strokes of the cane, I will not continue to embarrass you. I will have someone escort you out of the palace."

After a pause, he asked her again, "But, are you willing?"

Zhusha's eyes were red. Was she willing?

Of course she is unwilling!

She had served her for so many years, why did she end up like this?

Looking up, she slowly looked at Lipin and asked in a hoarse voice, "What can I do?"

Lipin listened to her words and slowly smiled.

Today's goal has been achieved.

…

When Si Linglong brought her people over, she thought she would encounter some obstruction, but Concubine Li did not bother and directly ordered people to carry Zhusha out.

Although he had changed his clothes, it was obvious to the naked eye that the condition of Cinnabar was not good.

Lipin made light of it and gestured for someone to take out a bracelet. "My people found a bracelet in her bag. Mr. Lang, you should take good care of the people around you in the future."

Si Linglong didn't even look at the bracelet that was handed to her. She first asked someone to confirm Zhu Sha's condition. After confirming that she was just weak and not in danger, she turned to Lipin and spoke slowly,

"Empress Li, if I were you, I would just keep my tail between my legs."

With just one sentence, Lipin felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Anger instantly appeared on her face. "What did you say?!"

Si Linglong looked at her again and repeated,

"I say, you should keep your tail between your legs now."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lipin to react, he suddenly grabbed the "evidence" bracelet presented by the palace maid next to him, raised his hand and smashed it in the direction of Lipin.

"Ah!" Lipin screamed and subconsciously covered her head, but the bracelet brushed her ear and hit the pillar beside Lipin directly.

There was a loud bang and the bracelet suddenly exploded, startling everyone present.

Lipin came to her senses and became even more furious, "Lang Guiren! How dare you!"

Si Linglong imitated her previous nonchalant tone and said, "I accidentally slipped my hand. Why are you so angry, Your Majesty?"

"You clearly did it on purpose just now! Someone come here!" Lipin said, and was about to call for help. However, before she could continue speaking, Si Linglong suddenly interrupted her.

"Empress Li, you want to punish me too? Then you better think it over. If you dare to touch a finger of mine today, I will find a way to make your old father who is living in Biannan cut off a finger."

Si Linglong's words were cold. Lipin was shocked at first, but the next second she was so angry that she was shaking all over.

She, she dared to threaten me!

"You, you..." Before Lipin could come up with a plan, she heard the eunuch's voice outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone including Si Linglong was stunned. They turned their heads and saw Helian Yue walking towards them with great pace, wearing a black waisted robe embroidered with golden dragons. There was a hint of coldness on his handsome face, but his phoenix eyes first scanned Si Linglong from head to toe to make sure that she was safe and sound. Only then did he seem relieved and hummed inwardly.

He made this trip not because he was worried that she would suffer a loss at the hands of Concubine Li.

Just to make sure she didn't suffer any unnecessary injuries that would affect her subsequent arrangements.

That's all.
