Chapter 317: A lone courage makes it difficult to achieve great things
That's it!
If, in the end, we cannot stick together, then we should wait until both the Huaiyang Palace and the Rong Palace have survived the disaster of the previous life, and then live in peace on our own.
She also needs to make more preparations.
"Madam, how do we deal with Liu Ying? Do we want to put him on trial immediately?"
"No need. The person who desperately incited Xu Yan'er to assassinate me cannot be the Queen Mother's man."
"That's the one sent by the Luo family?" Qingluo immediately understood.
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
He continued, "Noble Concubine Luo was deposed and banished to the cold palace. The Luo family must have had a hard time in the court. They are now at the stage of being desperate. They now feel that they have fallen into a trap set by us and have come to this point today. How can they resist fighting back?"
"Assassinating the prince would cost too much and would completely anger the emperor. Killing me would, in their opinion, satisfy their hatred and make the prince lose a good wife. Moreover, there is no need to pay any price. Even if they produce sufficient evidence, they can deny that a maid with a clean background was bought by us."
"Madam, when can peace be restored in our house?" Qingluo said helplessly.
"This is a great opportunity! Otherwise, what would be the point of me allowing Liu Ying to cause trouble in the mansion?"
"I couldn't figure it out before! Since Madam could see that Liuying had problems, why did she remain indifferent? It turns out that Madam had a plan in advance."
“Unfortunately, there is no such thing as 'everything has been planned' in this world.” Ji Chuhe did not continue.
If she wasn't holding the child, even if Xu Yan'er went crazy, she wouldn't be able to hurt her.
At that time, in a hurry, she only cared about the child in her arms and could not let the child get hurt. She could only block all dangers by herself. As long as she could keep the child safe, she was willing to do it.
Until now, she still couldn't believe whether this child was her Yu'er.
The same birthmark, such familiar eyes, and those strange feelings that had been in Dong Ling's heart since the beginning when she became pregnant with him.
Her intuition told her that this was her child.
After all, both she and Ji Qingyuan were reborn, right?
Reason told her to stay calm.
After all, it was Dong Ling who gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy.
"Qingluo, go prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write a testimony." Ji Chuhe instructed softly, trying not to think about the child anymore and to deal with more important things first.
"Yes." Qingluo immediately went to prepare.
Ji Chuhe read out the testimony, and Qingluo wrote it down word for word.
"Take this confession and have Liuying sign it. After he signs it, beat him to death with clubs and dump his body in the wilderness."
"Yes."
Qingluo took the confession to the place where Liuying was imprisoned.
Liuying was tied up tightly and hung high up, with a piece of coarse cloth stuffed in her mouth. She could neither live nor die.
Hearing the noise, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Qingluo who was walking towards her, her eyes full of contempt.
She was carefully trained by the Luo family, and no torture can make her surrender!
"Put her down." Qingluo gave the order.
Liuying was let go, Qingluo walked forward, took the confession in her hand and began to read it.
"Liu Ying, a maidservant in the Prince's Mansion, was originally a servant raised by the Luo family since childhood. The Luo family deliberately forged her identity and sold her into the Prince's Mansion as a slave. After entering the mansion, she was determined to assassinate the Prince's wife. She repeatedly instigated Xu Yan'er, the concubine of the Prince's Mansion, and drugged Xu Yan'er to make her mentally ill, which eventually led to Xu Yan'er assassinating the Prince's wife in public. On the night of the assassination, Xu Yan'er and Liu Ying were both confined to Xu Yan'er's courtyard. Liu Ying secretly bribed the guards Li Da and Liu Hong, and colluded with the servants Wang You and Li Siniang in the mansion to get the murder weapon! The above content is all from Liu Ying's own confession, and every word is true."
After hearing these confessions, Liu Ying suddenly became excited.
"Um! Um!" She tried desperately to make a sound.
"I know what you're excited about. You want to say that the servant you bribed wasn't actually Li Da or Liu Hong, right? The person who provided you with the drugs and the murder weapon and helped you accomplish your crime wasn't Wang You or Li Siniang, right?"
A trace of fear flashed in Liuying's eyes.
She knew that Li Siniang came from the palace!
That's the Queen Mother's man!
Ji Chuhe was so cruel to let her bite out the Queen Mother's people!
If it weren’t for this incident, would Ji Chuhe dare to touch the person given by the Queen Mother!
Qingluo took Liuying's hand and pressed the handprint directly on it.
Liu Ying looked incredulous.
Is that all?
"Don't look at me like that. Madam said that your biggest mistake was falling into our hands alive. However, Madam indulged you for so long and let you get into trouble just to catch you alive."
Liuying couldn't believe it.
All of this was part of Ji Chuhe’s plan!
She didn't believe that Ji Chuhe was so powerful!
"Someone, come and beat her to death with sticks!" Qingluo ordered again.
She did not leave immediately, but stood here and watched Liu Ying take his last breath.
"Aunt Qingluo, how should we deal with her?"
"Throw the body in the wilderness."
"Yes!"
Qingluo turned and left with the testimony.
……
Ji Chuhe recuperated quietly for a few days and the wound had already scabbed over.
The medicines she used were all excellent, and she also cooperated with the treatment, so she recovered quickly.
At this time, she could be helped up to sit up for a while, and could even get out of bed and walk a few steps. She could no longer endure the difficulty of lying in bed, unable to take care of herself.
During this period, she did not ask about Xiao Yanan's situation.
She was afraid that if she asked, it would affect her mood for recovering from her injuries.
No one told her about it tacitly.
However, today, even if Xiao Yan'an didn't want to see her, she would still see Xiao Yan'an.
"How is the prince doing recently?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
Qingluo's face changed and she didn't know how to start.
Nanny Ji and Mianzhu also looked at each other.
"Just tell me, no need to hide it." Ji Chuhe picked up the milky white nourishing soup and drank it in small sips.
"Madam, the prince's injuries are getting worse and worse, and he is still in a coma. These past few days, several young masters from the Duke's Mansion have been taking turns to take care of him. The old lady does not allow the prince's condition to be reported to you, which would affect your recovery. Therefore, we servants dare not tell you."
Ji Chuhe knew that Xiao Yan'an was shot by an arrow when he broke into the Forbidden Palace.
That night, Xu Yan'er was beaten to death with sticks. It was such a tragic death. It happened to be raining heavily, and Xiao Yan'an held Xu Yan'er in the rain and refused to let go.
His wounds must not be exposed to water.
If he's not serious, then whose is?
"The prince wanted to send Aunt Xu back to Huaiyang. Despite his serious injuries, he ran to the emperor to beg for help." Qingluo added.
Ji Chuhe frowned, "Did the emperor meet him?"
"No, so the prince knelt outside the imperial study until he fainted. The emperor was furious and asked the old Duke to carry him."
Ji Chuhe really didn't know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune to meet such a partner.
After Xiao Yan'an made such a fuss, the emperor would definitely reduce his vigilance towards Xiao Yan'an to the lowest level.
What can such a person achieve?
However, she really couldn't agree with Xiao Yan'an's reckless and courageous style of doing things.
