The Duke's wife's expression changed, and she moved her lips as if she wanted to say something. Aunt Xu grabbed her sleeves and shook her head slightly.
"Madam, let the second lady handle it."
What's more, the fact that the second young lady returned to the palace in a carriage from the Ninth Prince's Palace with two maids who were highly skilled in martial arts wasn't enough to explain anything?
Today, even if the second young lady poked a hole in the sky of the capital, there was someone taller who was holding it up.
"well!"
The Duke's wife sighed, shook her head feebly, and entered the house with the support of Aunt Xu.
Seeing his mother leave, the corners of Luo Jiuli's lightly curved lips suddenly turned cold.
"Nan Zhu, pull out her tongue."
Nanzhu was overjoyed and his eyes shone.
Nan Xing was stunned for a moment, his eyes darkened, and he stepped forward.
"Master, this slave has the ability to judge people. I will definitely make her come forward and testify honestly."
"No need, she is convinced that I am the one who killed her son. Even if such a duplicitous person comes to testify in front of the emperor, she would dare to betray him temporarily. It would be a disaster to keep him alive."
Luo Jiuli shook his head and looked at Mrs. Sun contemptuously.
"Mrs. Sun, they are using you to ruin my reputation and spread rumors."
"First, you are indeed a fool who is easy to deceive."
"Secondly, you are my mother's biological sister. They know that my mother is kind-hearted and cares about family ties, so they will not do anything to you."
"But they have forgotten that I, Luo Jiuli, am no longer the Luo Jiuli that I used to be."
"Those words you scolded me, I will return them to you unchanged. Not only will they be returned to you, but I will also give you a great gift so that in this life and the next life, you will be hard-pressed to speak, and you will no longer be able to slander or slander others.
.”
"Nan Zhu, do it."
"yes."
Nan Zhu liked to do this kind of thing. He had crushed Mrs. Sun's jaw early, leaving her unable to say anything except opening her mouth "Uh-huh."
"Ah! Ah!"
Mrs. Sun, whose mandible was completely shattered, finally realized she was afraid. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't utter a single syllable for mercy.
Especially when he saw Nan Zhu holding a dagger with a formidable look on his face, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he wet a large area under his body.
Nan Zhu didn't mind the dirt all over her body. The cold light of the dagger flashed, and there were screams and Mrs. Sun vomiting blood almost fainted from the pain.
The whole person was curled up on the ground, his legs and feet were shaking, and his eyes were white.
This incident made everyone around the crowd turn pale in fright, and their eyes looking at Luo Jiuli were full of fear and panic.
Luo Jiuli didn't care about the gazes of those people at all. He stood in the sun with a half-smile, pointed at Mrs. Sun who fell on the ground, looked at the crowd around him, and said softly.
"Everyone, Mrs. Sun is a warning to you all. Today, tomorrow, and every day from now on, if any of you dares to slander me and my righteous government again, I will pluck out his tongue."
"If anyone dares to point randomly, I will chop off his hands and feet; if he dares to glare and groan, I will cut off his nose, gouge out his eyeballs, and use him as a human pig, making him live day by day, year by year.
You can’t live, you can’t die.”
The crowd onlookers changed their expressions, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
No one dared to speak anymore, because everyone saw with their own eyes that Miss Luo Er ordered Mrs. Sun's tongue to be pulled out.
As the saying goes, a good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.
Miss Luo Er used to be so weak and easy to bully, but now she fights back so hard.
Who would dare to seek death under such circumstances?
It was a farce that started in a noisy manner and ended in a mess.
Because he saw the blood and said harsh words, the rumors spread in the streets gradually began to subside.
——
At this time, in Changchun Palace.
The news that Xiao Mingxuan entered the palace and went to Yangxin Hall was quickly reported to the Queen Mother by someone in the palace.
When the Queen Mother heard about this, she got up and rushed to the Yangxin Palace. However, she felt that as the Queen Mother, she was too eager, so she suppressed the impulse and slowly sat back on the chair.
Behind her, Concubine Hu's voice became more subdued and her tone was urgent.
"Aunt, when the Nine Kings went to the Yangxin Hall, they would definitely tell the Emperor about yesterday's events-"
"Shut up."
"How is Mo'er doing now?"
The Queen Mother's voice was cold and angry, she closed her eyes and slowly exhaled.
"The imperial doctor could only temporarily control the pain and itching on his body. In order to prevent himself from being scratched, he asked the people in the palace to tie himself up with a rope."
Concubine Hu lowered her head, her eyebrows gloomy and cold.
"Aunt, why does it have to be Luo Jiuli? Ever since Mo'er reconciled with her, I have suffered countless losses from her. I, I really don't like her."
"None of the daughters of powerful people in the capital are inferior to Luo Jiuli. Why does my aunt have to let Mo'er——"
"Which daughter of a powerful person in the capital is a disciple of the immortal doctor Ling Xuzi?"
The Queen Mother interrupted Hu Guifei and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Which powerful daughter can let the Nine Princes stand up for her? Can she freely enter and leave the Nine Princes' Palace?"
Concubine Hu Guifei paused and became silent for a moment.
"You! Short-sighted."
Concubine Hu bit her lip and looked very ugly.
"But, I heard that she stayed at the Ninth Prince's Mansion last night. I'm afraid that she and the Ninth Prince--"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was as stiff as a wooden sculpture, and it took her a long time before she responded.
"If this is really the case, then you are really making wedding clothes for others."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was almost deathly silent.
Outside the door, the personal attendant whispered.
"Queen Mother? From the Yangxin Hall, the Emperor even sent Eunuch Qi out."
The Queen Mother looked at the falling leaves outside the courtyard, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's getting colder and colder today."
The waiter lowered his eyes.
"To the Queen Mother, tomorrow will be the Cold Dew solar term."
As soon as the cold dew passes, the heat slowly recedes and the chill gradually sets in. You will feel a slight chill in the morning and evening.
The Queen Mother still looked outside the courtyard, her eyes dark and dark, and she said calmly.
"Don't be too hasty, send someone to keep an eye on it."
"According to the decree."
The chamberlain turned around and left the main hall.
Outside the palace, the eldest palace maid with a green hairpin came in.
"The Queen Mother, Prince An and Princess An would like to see you."
——
At the same time, inside the Yangxin Hall.
The emperor looks down upon all life in front of others, and he is the only one who respects me. He always looks cold and cold.
At this moment, his brows were furrowed and his thin lips were pursed tightly, as if he was troubled by something, but just this frowning look made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"You, tell me again."
Opposite the emperor, sat the Ninth Prince, Xiao Mingxuan, with a stern look on his face.
"My brother said, please ask the emperor to give me a gold medal to avoid death."
The emperor looked at him with a strange expression.
"Do you think the gold medal for immunity from death is a jade pendant hanging on your body? Just give it to me if you say it is given?"
"Besides, don't you have an iron coupon for alchemy in your hand?"
"The elixir book and the iron coupon will be passed down to infinity."
"Isn't it more enjoyable than the death-free gold medal that only has three chances to save your life?"
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Emperor knows that my father gave me the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book in order to protect Brother Emperor."
