Chapter 24 Dirty Water(1/2)
I heard that this is a method used by the Ministry of Justice to interrogate people.
As long as you are disobedient, once the toxicity occurs, your life will be worse than death!
As soon as Li Huang said this, several people had already backed down, quickly got up, grabbed the deed of betrayal, and ran away.
Li Huang didn't stop him either.
If someone takes the lead, more people will follow.
In the blink of an eye, there were only about a dozen people left in the courtyard.
Li Huang raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at those people. Before she could react, one of the young maids suddenly stood up, grabbed the Heart Erosion Pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
"I will serve His Highness even if I die!"
Li Huang was startled.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little maid.
"Do you know that once you take the Heart-Erosion Pill, you will be dead without an antidote?"
"This slave knows."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I am afraid of death, but I know that if I have done nothing wrong, Your Highness is kind and will never let me die."
Kindness...
Li Huang suddenly laughed.
Over the years, some people have called her vicious, and some have called her domineering and arrogant. This is the first time I have heard the word benevolent.
Li Huang wanted to laugh for a moment. She lowered her eyes and looked at the little maid and asked, "What's your name?"
As if she didn't expect Li Huang to ask such a question, the little maid replied in a low voice: "Slave Ying'er."
"Ying'er?"
Li Huang was startled when he suddenly heard this name.
She remembered that in her dream, when she was imprisoned in the new king's bedroom, a palace maid named Ying'er was serving her!
And in the end, in order to help her escape, Ying'er was pierced by thousands of arrows by the guards who chased her, and she died without a complete body.
"Ying'er... this name is unlucky."
Li Huang looked away, thought for a moment, and said, "How about you call me Ah Yuan? Everything will go well in the future."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the name."
Ah Yuan seemed very excited, grinning from the corner of her mouth to the base of her ears.
Seeing A Yuan take the Heart Erosion Pill, the others took it one after another.
Li Huang glanced at them and nodded towards Ling Yuan.
The latter immediately picked out their deeds of prostitution and tore them into pieces with a 'crash' sound in front of everyone.
"Your Highness, what are you...?"
"I said that I know all about your details." Li Huang glanced at the few people left behind, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said word by word: "Since you have chosen to stay, let's forget about the past."
"What happens in the future depends on your choices."
After that, she got up and left.
Behind him, the cooks on the ground were half-dead after a whole morning of intimidation, and had no ability to resist.
As soon as Li Huang got up, several guards came forward and dragged them out.
"Your Highness."
Before Li Huang could go far, he was stopped by A Yuan.
She turned her head, "What's wrong?"
A Yuan lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered: "A Yuan has some knowledge about meals. If His Highness trusts her, A Yuan is willing to take care of His Highness's meals and will never let others take advantage of her."
Li Huang: "..."
She was indeed planning to snatch two of the imperial chefs from the imperial dining room.
However, when she thought about it, she didn't like the chef's skills either.
"If you want to try it, then go ahead and try it."
After dealing with this, she left the back hall.
The golden crow sets in the west.
On a trail a hundred miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people came galloping over.
The young man at the head, wearing a golden crown and purple robe, was full of nobility and was leading the way.
The people following him were wearing the same clothes and looked like guards.
Just as the young man was passing by the path, suddenly, a voice came from the grass on both sides: "Fire arrows!"
Immediately afterwards, countless arrows were shot at the man on horseback without warning.
"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The attendants following behind him changed their expressions and hurriedly stepped forward to escort him.
However, arrows rained down like rain, and soon half of the guards guarding Li Yuze fell down.
Li Yuze's expression changed drastically, and the journey back to Beijing was smooth.
Seeing the capital city just ahead, he was assassinated here!
"Your Highness, we are outnumbered and outnumbered. Your Highness should go first!"
Li Yuze's face was livid, he gritted his teeth and held the sword, "Stop talking nonsense, let me kill you!"
The guards gritted their teeth, protected Li Yuze in front of him, and evacuated with difficulty.
However, just when they were about to be unable to resist, suddenly, several muffled sounds came from the grass.
Then, the rain of arrows stopped.
Li Yuze stared at the surroundings warily and said in a deep voice: "Who is it? Come out!"
The only three remaining guards were guarding Li Yuze, glaring around him warily.
The wind blew and the grass rustled.
Li Yuze grimaced, took the bow and arrow from the guard, and suddenly shot towards the grass.
With a "stab" sound, the arrow pierced the ground, but nothing came out.
Li Yuze winked at the guard beside him, who immediately stepped forward to check.
However, when he dug through the grass, he discovered that there were people in black on both sides, but for some reason, they all had their necks wiped.
How could these assassins' necks be wiped out so quickly in such a short period of time?
Who is helping them?
"Your Highness, there are no survivors."
Li Yuze took a deep breath and looked towards the capital.
There was a doubt in his mind - why did Li Huang know that there would be an ambush on this only way back to Beijing?
Branches above the moon.
In Yunwai Building, Mo Jingzhan changed back into the military robe he wore before going out after taking a bath.
Xiao Yunlan looked up and down at the handsome Mo Jingzhan, and asked in surprise: "Why didn't you change your clothes? Don't you like the ones you prepared?"
As he said this, he was about to ask someone to prepare again.
Mo Jingzhan glanced at him faintly and said lightly: "No need."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yunlan couldn't understand what he meant, and frowned: "Didn't you change ten sets a day in the past? Now you don't pay attention to it anymore?"
It was okay if he didn't say anything, but when he mentioned Mo Jingzhan, he felt very speechless.
Thinking of her expression when she asked someone to pay him money from the accounting room before leaving the house, and her eyes that hesitated to speak, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Did she think he went to the land of romance?
If she changed her clothes and went back, I'm afraid she would think more.
Thinking of this, Mo Jingzhan felt inexplicably depressed.
He leaned on the chair, letting his half-dried black hair hang down around his waist, and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Have you found out the origins of those people?"
Xiao Yunlan suppressed his careless look and said seriously: "He is a dead soldier."
