Yuhua was born in the family and knew that Ruoxi was threatening her with her parents. She immediately kowtowed and admitted her mistake, choking up and saying: "The princess has treated me very well since I was a child. It is because of this that I want to do everything for the princess." Think about it, I don’t regret doing anything wrong, I only regret bringing trouble to the princess.”
What she said was sincere, and it showed the deep love between master and servant.
Chu Yanjue knew that there was nothing more he could ask, so he shook his head and looked at the emperor.
Naturally, the emperor didn't believe Yuhua's words, but Ruoxi was the princess after all, and her father, Prince Rui, was his imperial brother after all, so he could only let Yuhua be the scapegoat, "Someone is here to kill the Queen Mother." He dragged his cheap maid out and beat her to death with sticks."
Hearing the words "beat to death with a stick," Yuhua, who was pretending to be calm, could no longer hold back. She struggled desperately and shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare me, I was just confused for a moment... Princess, Princess, Save this slave, I don’t want to die..."
Ruoxi was trembling, tears streaking down her cheeks one by one. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or guilt.
Yuhua's screams outside were getting louder and louder, and in the end they gradually became weak, until there was no more sound.
"What a loyal slave. What a pity." Gu Ning couldn't help but sigh.
"Gu Ning, don't act like a villain. This matter has nothing to do with me. You can't even think of targeting me again." Ruoxi glared at Gu Ning like a cat whose tail was stepped on and said fiercely.
"Princess, I didn't say anything. You are so eager to clear up the relationship. Are you feeling guilty?" Gu Ning gave Ruoxi a meaningful look, and Ruoxi hurriedly looked away.
"As a princess, Ruoxi has not been strict with her servants. She has been confined for three months. No one can let her out without my permission." The emperor's anger has not subsided and he punished Ruoxi. He doesn't think about it now. See her again.
When Eunuch Li heard this, he immediately asked to leave Ruoxi.
Ruoxi walked out of Cining Palace and saw a pool of blood on the ground at the door that had not yet been cleaned. Yuhua's screams rang in her ears again. She took a deep breath and quickened her pace to escape from this place.
For a time, the Cining Palace became much quieter.
Gu Ning stared at what just happened with her eyes, neither sad nor happy, her expression was as usual.
The matter has finally come to an end.
It's a pity that the mastermind behind the incident was not found out.
In fact, Gu Ning probably guessed that Ning Wan'er was involved in this matter, otherwise with Ruoxi's ability, there would be no way to exchange her gift.
But she had no evidence, so the matter could only end there.
The emperor sat aside with a complicated expression.
The Queen Mother knew that she was sorry for Gu Ning, so she wanted to compensate her, "The Ai family and the Emperor have misunderstood you, and I don't know what kind of compensation I should give you."
"You can ask for it yourself, but I will agree to anything I can do." The emperor raised his chin slightly, not knowing how to compensate Gu Ning. He felt in his heart that she was not an unreasonable person, so he let her ask for her reward.
Only when there are rewards and punishments can you be a wise king.
Gu Ning's mind was quick, she knelt on the ground, raised her hands, and said very respectfully: "My daughter boldly begs the emperor to cancel the engagement between my daughter and the third prince!"
In this life, she will never have anything to do with that sanctimonious Situ Yu.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
There were so many people all over the world who were scrambling to have even a little relationship with the royal family, but Gu Ning took the initiative to cut off the relationship.
"Can you please tell me why?" The emperor remained calm and confident, "If what you say makes sense, I will agree to it."
