Chapter 49 Delusions Arise
Qin Jinzhi looked at the guards kneeling outside the door, pointed to the one who was the most indignant, and said, "You, come here."
Just as the guard was about to get up, he remembered that Commander Xue had crawled in on his knees, so he also crawled in on his knees.
Upon seeing this, Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud, "Commander Xue, the men you've brought out are indeed loyal."
She threw the whip in front of the guard. "Did you hear what Commander Xue just said?"
The guard's eyes widened; the princess was ordering him to carry out the execution!
That's a hundred lashes.
The guards immediately kowtowed to Qin Ye and said, "Your Highness! It was all our dereliction of duty, and it has nothing to do with Commander Xue! Please forgive Commander Xue's punishment, and we are willing to take the blame in his place."
Qin Ye's expression remained unchanged. "This is the princess's courtyard. Everything is up to the princess."
What a joke! The entire Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has to listen to Qin Jinzhi, and he has to obey her. Who would dare to speak up?
"Your Highness!"
"Shut up! Didn't you hear the princess? Execute her!"
The guard, his face filled with grief and indignation, tremblingly picked up the whip and walked to Xue Huaiyi's side.
He raised his hand and gently slapped it down.
"Add twenty lashes."
Qin Jinzhi said casually.
The guard immediately became red-eyed and wanted to argue with Qin Jinzhi.
Xue Huaiyi immediately said, "The princess did a good job! Keep hitting her!"
The guard took a deep breath and slapped Xue Huaiyi hard across the back.
Xue Huaiyi was a real man. After 120 lashes, the sweat on his forehead had soaked the ground in front of him, but he didn't utter a sound.
After the guard had delivered 120 lashes, he knelt down to one side.
Qin Jinzhi ignored the two people on the ground and instead asked the crowd kneeling outside the courtyard, "Do you also think that this princess's punishment was too severe?"
The guards were all indignant, and the one at the front immediately said, "Commander Xue is right, this is unfair!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at these people and laughed, "I didn't know that after three years away, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion had become the Xue family's property."
Upon hearing this, Xue Huaiyi, barely managing to stay upright, slammed his weak body to the ground. "Princess, please forgive me! I had absolutely no intention of disobeying my superior!"
He never pleaded with Qin Ye from the beginning, even though he was supposed to call Qin Ye his godfather!
Qin Jinzhi has been gone for three years, and he is the only one who can be considered the master of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
This made him lose track of Qin Jinzhi's temperament.
In this Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, if Qin Jinzhi wants you dead, Qin Ye won't let you live either!
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "Commander Xue, I hope you will remember how many lives you have taken today."
Xue Huaiyi's face was deathly pale, and his pupils were dilated.
Turning around, Yun Que and her three companions had already arrived outside the courtyard.
With a swift stroke, the guards were instantly killed.
The guard who was carrying out the execution immediately turned pale. Commander Xue had said that the princess was capricious and that they had to be treated with care.
She didn't even blink at the loss of more than twenty lives!
Qin Jinzhi acted as if she had just discovered him.
"Oh, there's another one here, Commander Xue. He seems to be the most loyal to you. In that case, you can do it yourself."
The guard looked at Xue Huaiyi in a panic.
Xue Huaiyi clenched his fists, his eyes red, and remained silent for a few seconds.
He then walked toward the guard.
The guard fell to the ground, supporting himself with his hands as he moved backward.
Xue Huaiyi walked up to him and said, "I'm sorry for what I did to you."
He pressed down on the guard's head with both hands and forcefully turned it to the side.
The guard died with his eyes wide open.
Xue Huaiyi returned to Qin Jinzhi's side and knelt down again.
"Xue Huaiyi harbored delusions and caused the deaths of innocent people. Please, Your Highness, give me another chance!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded in satisfaction, squatted down to be at eye level with him, and asked, "So you let the assassin in to kill me?"
"Princess! Even if it costs me my life, I will never harm you! I will give you an explanation regarding the assassin!"
Qin Jinzhi casually said, "Don't be nervous, just kidding. Go back and get some rest. Your loyal lackey is too obedient. He really hit hard when told to, look at how badly he beat our Commander Xue. Go back and recover from your injuries."
Xue Huaiyi bowed respectfully and said, "This subordinate takes his leave."
Soon, the servants in the mansion had moved all the corpses away.
Qin Ye remained silent, continuing to eat the lotus seed soup.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the table next to him and said, "Look at how you're feeding these people. This Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is almost no longer Qin's."
Qin Ye ignored her, saying, "What does this have to do with me? I only stay in this palace a few times a year."
After saying that, he turned to Yunshan and said, "Stew another pot."
Qin Jinzhi looked at the old man who had his back to her and seemed a little guilty, "You'd better persuade your godson not to wait until my knife is on their heads before saying that I don't care about your father-son relationship."
Qin Ye pursed his lips. Over the years, he had taken in quite a few adopted sons.
With only Qin Jinzhi remaining as a descendant of the Qin family, it's no wonder that some people started to have designs on her.
If Qin Jinzhi dies, some people may be able to get a share of her immense power.
"lark."
Qin Jinzhi called Yun Que and they left the courtyard.
Qin Ye hurriedly asked, "Where are you going! Aren't you going to eat dinner?!"
Qin Jinzhi didn't reply. Qin Ye watched Qin Jinzhi's figure disappear completely and rubbed his hands together with Yunshan. "Bring me all the signature dishes from your small kitchen, and also that Peach Bamboo Wine."
Yun Jin quickly said, "The princess said that you are not allowed to drink alcohol because you are not well yet!"
Qin Ye clicked his tongue. "I'm her grandfather! How dare she make decisions for me! Go now!"
"Princess, you're back!"
"I told her I wouldn't drink it, but this girl insisted I try it. What should my dear grandson say..."
Qin Ye turned around, but there was no one there.
When I turned around again, Yun Jin had already run away.
I'm so angry! Old men have no human rights!
Qin Jinzhi left the mansion and took Yun Que to a house in the suburbs of Beijing.
The guards watching over Qin Jinzhi's mother have been replaced.
Seeing the princess, he was very respectful. "Miss, are you here to see the madam? I'll bring the person out."
Qin Jinzhi nodded and stood in the courtyard. Looking at the house, which was decorated almost exactly like Cui Ziyu's love nest, she couldn't help but sneer.
"You beast, what are you doing here! If you have the guts, kill me! I feel disgusted just looking at your face!"
Qin Jinzhi turned around and saw a ferocious-looking face.
The face was contorted, and the eyes were filled with hatred.
Qin Jinzhi suddenly smiled, "As you wish."
A dagger suddenly appeared in her hand.
Qin Jinzhi grabbed her neck and stabbed her in the abdomen.
The woman's eyes widened, and before she could say anything, she collapsed to the ground.
Her abdomen was covered in blood, and she just lay there on the ground.
Qin Jinzhi's face showed neither sadness nor joy.
The guards were all startled, but they still went forward to check the woman's breathing.
"Miss, Madam, they're not breathing."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, looked around, and said, "Aren't you going to show up yet?"
The guards exchanged bewildered glances. "Who is Miss referring to?"
Qin Jinzhi didn't say anything, she just stood there quietly.
Finally, the shadows of the trees beside the house began to sway!
Eighteen figures landed in the courtyard!
