Chapter 104 What did she threaten you with?
Emperor Jingyuan looked at the expressions of the people below, especially Qi You.
If we talk about what happened, the person who knows best is Qi You.
However, when Emperor Jingyuan learned about the assassination, he had already roughly locked on to who was the mastermind behind it. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably the concubine named Chen in the Fifth Prince's mansion. Of course, he would not arrest someone based on speculation alone, and he would naturally have to provide sufficient evidence.
If it is really found out that it is her, Emperor Jingyuan will definitely not care about the feelings of the fifth brother anymore. This person dared to assassinate the emperor's grandson again and again, and in the palace. This shows that she does not take him, the emperor, seriously at all!
Emperor Jingyuan's anger was at an all-time high.
Qi You below was observing the expressions of everyone present calmly. Seeing that his royal grandfather seemed to have finally gotten angry, he lowered his brows and stopped watching. He stood quietly with his head down, waiting for Xiao Quan to speak.
Yes, Xiao Quan stood up.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Jingyuan's expression eased a little, mainly because Xiao Quan was the one who saved his grandson, "My dear Xiao, just tell me what you saw."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I finished discussing important matters with Your Majesty and was about to return home, but ended up walking into the Imperial Garden..."
Xiao Quan's voice was low and magnetic. He slowly narrated everything he had seen, neither arrogant nor impatient, but calm and composed.
"As for what happened before, I am not clear about it. This requires the emperor's grandson to tell it himself." After saying this, Xiao Quan took a step back and stood back in his original place.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qi You. Qi You was so calm. He stepped forward and slowly explained the whole story clearly.
For a moment, the entire hall was filled with Qi You's childish and calm voice.
Emperor Jingyuan was quite relieved to see that Qi You not only spoke clearly and logically, but also remained calm and composed in the presence of so many people.
The same is true for Concubine Xian.
However, when the Queen looked at Qi You like this, and thought of how timid her grandson was when he saw the Emperor, she suddenly felt mixed emotions, and the look on her face when she looked at Qi You was very complicated and indescribable.
Not only Qi You and Xiao Quan spoke up, but also Fang Hua and Xiao Yuanzi were called out one by one by Emperor Jing Yuan. Seeing that everyone said the same thing, Emperor Jing Yuan said solemnly, "Commander Hua, wake up that palace maid."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then everyone present saw Commander Hua press a few acupoints on the palace maid, and then she woke up.
The first moment the palace maid opened her eyes, she knew that her day was completely over, and her eyes were filled with despair.
She hated the woman who threatened her.
When Emperor Jingyuan saw that the man had woken up, he immediately spoke in a deep voice, "Who ordered you to assassinate the emperor's grandson? Tell the truth."
When the palace maid heard this, her whole body trembled subconsciously, fear began to spread in her eyes, and her heart was in a mess.
That person threatened her. Although she wanted to take revenge on her, if she did so, the person she cared about would die. She couldn't expose her, absolutely not, otherwise she would not let him go.
The despair in the palace maid's eyes became more and more intense, as if she had figured something out, and the palace maid closed her eyes tightly.
"Stop her, don't let her commit suicide." Emperor Jingyuan suddenly shouted.
Commander Hua had been keeping an eye on this palace maid, fearing that she might suddenly commit suicide, so he acted particularly quickly and dislocated her jaw.
"Be honest! Tell the truth and you can avoid physical pain. Otherwise..." Commander Hua scolded coldly. Everyone present understood what he wanted to say, and the palace maid understood it even better.
"Tell the truth. If you have any concerns, just tell me directly. But if you still dream of committing suicide again, then even if you die, you will not be able to escape the things you care about. You may have to suffer countless tortures. Do you understand? Nod if you understand." Commander Hua is a man who has seen a lot of the world after all. The appearance of this palace maid must be either the temptation of money or the threat from others. It is obvious that she belongs to the latter.
Upon hearing this, the palace maid was silent for a moment, but the determination to die in her eyes became stronger, and then she nodded.
Upon seeing this, Commander Hua restored the man's dislocated jaw to its original state. No one present was shocked by such a brutal appearance, but instead felt it was normal.
Of course, except Xiao Yuanzi, but there was no fear in Xiao Yuanzi's eyes. Instead, his eyes lit up and he stared at Commander Hua's techniques intently.
I thought to myself that I should take note of what Commander Hua had just shown, as it might be useful in the future.
Qi You had no idea that his personal eunuch was beginning to become crooked.
The maid's hoarse voice rang out slowly in the hall, "My name is Qingyu, and I am a maid in the laundry department. Some time ago, a woman had someone find me. She threatened me to help her assassinate the emperor's grandson."
"What did she threaten you with?" Emperor Jingyuan spoke calmly, his majesty becoming more and more powerful.
Qingyu's body trembled, and she managed to calm herself down, and said with difficulty, "You threatened me with a eunuch. I have been childhood sweethearts with that eunuch, and we were in love with each other. We were engaged to each other since we were young. Two days before we were to get married, he was framed and entered the palace to become a eunuch. I later followed him into the palace, but I don't know how that person knew about my relationship with my fiancé... I had no choice but to obey. I don't know who that person was, but I have his handwriting here, and the palace maid who contacted that person, so I know who he is?" As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, her eyes were already wet, and she said sorry to her lover in her heart, saying that she was the one who implicated him.
After hearing this, everyone present understood why she was threatened.
After all, the palace does not allow palace maids and eunuchs to have private affairs, and violators will be sentenced to death.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan spoke up, "Commander Hua, go and capture all those who know about this."
"Yes."
Qingyu was dragged away to identify the person.
The atmosphere suddenly changed.
Emperor Jingyuan asked several people to sit down, and then called Qi You up.
"Royal grandfather." Qi You shouted.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. Don't worry, my royal grandfather will never let go of the person who hurt you." Emperor Jingyuan touched Qi You's head and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Qi You just nodded perfunctorily and said, "Thank you, Grandfather."
It was impossible to kill the man in one go, so he just listened to it.
After all, that person's value is still there. No matter whether it is the father, the grandfather in front of him, or even the grandmother, no one will let her die unless she has made all the inventions she knows and has no use anymore.
Today, he just wanted to teach her a lesson. Death, at least for now, was impossible, and he would not let her die. She could only die after her value was squeezed out. However, she had attacked him repeatedly, so she had to be taught a lesson.
The queen, who was standing by, felt very jealous when she saw this scene between Emperor Jingyuan and Qi You.
As expected, Concubine Xian was not a likable person, and even her grandson was not likable either.
