"No, don't do this, Master, this slave will die!"
Xiaohuan was horrified and wanted to struggle back, but she found that Zhu Zhaolin's hand was tightly grasping her arm like an iron pliers. No matter how hard she struggled, it remained motionless.
"Do you want to resist me too?"
Zhu Zhaolin's face darkened, almost dripping with gloom, and his vicious and resentful voice made the whole room become cold.
He lifted up the small ring and pressed it hard.
"ah!"
Xiaohuan let out a high-pitched scream, and the severe pain made her brain go blank.
The long wooden handle was stained with blood.
Seeing the miserable scream of the person in front of him who was somewhat similar to Concubine Chen, Zhu Zhaolin laughed, his whole body trembling with excitement.
"You are next, and I will let you taste this next one!"
Zhu Zhaolin's face was twisted, as if he had thought of the scene of torturing Concubine Chen with his own hands, and he couldn't help but make an unclear sound.
At that moment, the evil thoughts that had been suppressed by the Pure Heart and Less Desire Pill began to stir, just like the lid of a pot when hot water is about to boil, and it seemed that it would completely collapse in the next second.
However, at this moment, a personal eunuch rushed in quickly.
"Master, it's bad, someone from Dongchang is here!"
The little eunuch lowered his head, not daring to look at the screaming Xiao Huan over there, and spoke very quickly with his head lowered.
One sentence interrupted Zhu Zhaolin's thoughts, making him seem to fall from a high altitude to the bottom of the valley. The strong dislocation and contrast made him groan, as if he had been hit hard.
"Bastard thing!"
Zhu Zhaolin didn't know that he was being disturbed. He kicked the young eunuch in the chest in anger, sending him flying several meters away. He fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood from his mouth.
"Master, spare your life!"
The little eunuch turned pale.
Zhu Zhaolin snorted coldly: "What did you say when you came in?"
"The people from Dongchang are here."
The little eunuch endured the severe pain in his chest and forced out an ugly expression.
"People from Dongchang?"
Zhu Zhaolin's eyes flashed with confusion. He glanced at Xiao Huan, who was almost unconscious from pain, snorted coldly, said "useless trash", and then stepped out of the room.
The little eunuch vomited blood twice and struggled to get up from the ground.
Before he went out, he heard Xiaohuan's angry voice: "Help, help me..."
But he still gritted his teeth, pretended not to hear, lowered his head and walked out. All that was left in the room were the small rings in the blood and the desperate and helpless screams.
He can't even protect himself, how can he save others.
Xiaohuan laughed miserably and passed out completely.
In the main hall.
As soon as Zhu Zhaolin came out, he saw Tao Ying standing upright in the hall, with a solemn face, wearing a straight eunuch uniform, and a badge hanging around his waist, showing his status as a deacon of the East Factory.
"I've met the Thirteenth Prince."
Tao Ying bowed to Zhu Zhaolin in a polite manner. Even if the other person was under house arrest, there was nothing faulty about Tao Ying's etiquette.
Zhu Zhaolin leaned back in his seat and did not let Tao Ying get up. He stared at him with a pair of sinister eyes and said unhappily: "What are you doing here to see me?"
Tao Ying's expression remained unchanged: "His Highness did not know something. A steward in Changqing Palace was executed. Let's come over and ask if His Highness knows anything about it."
"What does this prince know? He didn't die here."
Zhu Zhaolin said with a sneer.
Tao Ying frowned. He didn't even feel whether Zhu Zhaolin's words were true or false!
Didn't it mean that the other party just relied on cramming to reach the realm of innate martial arts? It should be impossible to hide it from his eyes. Could it be that the other party's spiritual will is stronger than his?
It's impossible to think about it.
Tao Ying did not give up easily and continued to ask: "We are just asking in passing, oh, there is something I didn't tell His Highness. The steward's surname is Song."
"Okay, I don't care what his surname is. If you have nothing to do, you can leave!" Zhu Zhaolin made no secret of his disgust with Tao Ying.
With that said, he suddenly stood up and strode back to the room.
Tao Ying stood up slowly and looked at Zhu Zhaolin leaving with an expressionless face. Perhaps he had anticipated the other person's attitude and reaction, so he was not too disappointed at the moment.
"However, I didn't expect that Haechi would be ineffective."
A strange color flashed across Tao Ying's eyes.
Even though Zhu Zhaolin is a prince and protected by the imperial dragon energy, his thoughts are difficult to detect.
But after all, he was under house arrest and even the king's title was deprived. Under this situation, Haechi still couldn't get any information from the other party, which made him lament the tyranny of the imperial dragon's energy.
"Perhaps this is Tianjia!"
Tao Ying shook his head. Since he couldn't get any information, he could only turn around and leave.
Before leaving, he vaguely heard crying coming from the room where Zhu Zhaolin had just gone, and couldn't help but sigh, what a pitiful person.
He paused and continued to leave with an expressionless expression.
Human life is as cheap as paper, who can save whom?
The night is getting deeper, covering the infinite sky, and the huge and glorious gods are completely immersed in the night, which seems to be an eternal night.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the figure sitting behind the throne silently raised his head and then lowered his head, expressionlessly making a stroke on a folded book with the ink pen in his hand.
The fold was closed and thrown aside, and the word "Hunri" could be seen fleetingly.
At noon the next day, in Changqing Palace.
Concubine Chen stretched her plump waist and looked lazy. She was wearing a light green palace dress and walked down from the bed with bare feet. Her round toes were cute and white, and her arches formed a perfect arc.
She sat in front of the dressing table, and several maids dressed her up.
At this time, Deputy General Manager Lin came from outside, holding a two-foot-long brocade box in his hand, saying hello with a smile on his face, "See you, Madam, the things from the Hou Mansion have been delivered."
"well done."
Concubine Chen nodded and asked, "Is there anyone in the palace who is restless recently?"
"To tell you the truth, this guy Song Lian is going to die. These little ones are all very well-behaved."
"That's good."
Concubine Chen showed a satisfied look, thought for a while, and said, "You will take on the responsibility of freeing up the money in the private treasury first."
Deputy General Manager Lin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He did not expect such a great thing to fall from the sky. This is the wealth and power of a palace. It used to be controlled by people from Eunuch Li's side, but he did not expect that it would fall into his hands now!
"Thank you, Queen Chitose."
After thanking him again and again, he stepped back excitedly. Here, Concubine Chen also finished dressing up. She glanced at the brocade box, picked it up, and walked out.
Several palace maids and eunuchs planned to follow, but Concubine Chen waved her hand casually: "You don't need to follow me, I can just walk around the palace casually."
"Yes, concubine."
Concubine Chen walked around the palace before heading to the side hall where Yang Fan was. When she entered, there was no one inside.
"Not even there?"
She looked at the room curiously. It was tidied up neatly, and there was a faint smell of strange wine in the air.
"What's this?"
Concubine Chen turned her eyes and quickly noticed the jar under Yang Fan's bed. As soon as her mind moved, the jar was captured by an invisible force and placed on the table in front of her.
The lid opened automatically, revealing the contents of the drink.
Thinking of the tradition that eunuchs would hide their treasures secretly, of course, some would also put them in the treasure room.
"Is this... Xiao Fanzi's?"
Concubine Chen realized something, but couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. This measurement was a bit too... astonishing.
