Chapter 149 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
"If this oral order was really given by Concubine Li, then Concubine Li's sleep quality is too good. From the time the eunuch informed me to come to Weiyang Palace, it was only a cup of tea, and Concubine Li had already fallen asleep. This really makes me admire her."
"But in other words, Concubine Li called me but was unwilling to pay attention to me. Could it be that Concubine Li didn't care about me at all and deliberately left me alone? If that's the case, it really hurts my heart."
When Ji Yuntang said this, he pressed his chest, as if he was really hurt by Concubine Li.
Just as Concubine Li was about to speak, Ji Yuntang said, "But if this oral order was not given by the Queen, then the eunuch in Weiyang Palace is too unruly. He actually dared to pretend to be Concubine Li's man and falsely passed on the oral order to me, the princess, and tricked me to come here. This eunuch has the heart to be killed, the Queen!"
"With such a servant in Weiyang Palace, wouldn't it be bad for the safety and whereabouts of the Empress? This little eunuch betrayed his master for fame and fortune, maybe he is a spy planted in Weiyang Palace by someone else. Empress Li, you must punish him severely today and force him to reveal the person behind it!"
Concubine Li: "..."
Concubine Li: "!!!"
Ji Yuntang spoke a long paragraph in one breath. She tried to interrupt him many times, but failed.
This bitch said all the good and bad things about me, and now she is in a bad mood and feels as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
But when faced with Ji Yuntang's expression that was full of consideration for her, Concubine Li couldn't utter a single word of curse.
She felt that in her entire life, and having fought with others in the palace for so many years, she had never felt so aggrieved as she did today.
There are two paths before Concubine Li.
Or she would admit that she was the one who asked Xiao Shunzi to call Ji Yuntang over.
But doing so would confirm the fact that he was deliberately ignoring Ji Yuntang and didn't like her.
Either Concubine Li does not admit that Xiao Shunzi was delivering the message on her behalf.
In this way, she would be led by Ji Yuntang and severely punish Xiao Shunzi.
No matter which option you choose, it's a trap.
But unfortunately, she has to fall into this pit!
Concubine Li was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, but she had to put on a gentle and virtuous look on her face. She thought for a while and made up her mind.
"I have not been feeling well recently. I have been taking a nap since lunch and I didn't know you had entered the palace. The eunuch who delivered the message is not my man."
"Come here, drag out the eunuch who falsely conveyed my order and deceived Princess Ye, and beat him to death with sticks!"
When Concubine Li said this, her facial muscles were shaking with anger, and the nails under her sleeves were broken by her.
The person that he had finally recruited to work for him was gone just because of Ji Yuntang's few words!
Gone!
She hated Ji Yuntang even more!
If he is not executed, it would really prove what Ji Yuntang said, that there is someone behind Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi has been targeted by Ji Yuntang, and she is afraid that the things that Concubine Li has done to bribe him will be exposed.
So, they decided to go all out and execute the man.
Xiao Shunzi didn't know at this moment that danger had already befallen him.
All he could think about at the moment was that as long as Princess Ye was punished and suffered a loss at the hands of Concubine Li today, the Concubine would be in a good mood and might promote him and let him serve her closely.
In the Weiyang Palace, Concubine Li was well-known for her bad temper and her unwillingness to do good things. This was a lucrative job, much better than his job in the Shangyi Bureau.
By then, he would be a famous figure in Weiyang Palace. Who would dare to look down on him?
Xiao Shunzi has already begun to fantasize about the day when he would go to the Shangyi Bureau and slap those eunuchs in the face.
Suddenly, two guards came over and grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, and questioned him in a cold tone.
"Tell me, who are you, what are your plans for lurking beside Concubine Li, and who is the master behind you?"
Xiao Shunzi was completely confused and had no idea what the other party was talking about.
When he came to his senses, he had been pressed onto a bench. He smelled blood and Xiao Shunzi realized that the bench beneath him was stained with blood.
It can be seen that many people get beaten for this reason.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xiao Shunzi shouted, "How dare you! I belong to Concubine Li. Why don't you let me go?"
The only responses he got were his own screams and the sound of the stick hitting his body, tearing his flesh.
The execution took place in the courtyard of the Weiyang Palace.
Listening to the incessant screams, Concubine Li frowned slightly, feeling even more annoyed.
But Ji Yuntang acted extremely responsible, which made her even more angry.
Ji Yuntang walked out and asked the two guards who were carrying out the execution: "How is it, did he admit who sent him?"
One of the guards said, "To answer Princess Ye's question, this eunuch is very stubborn. He has already been beaten with thirty military sticks, but he still claims that he belongs to Concubine Li."
Ji Yuntang sneered in her heart. She took this opportunity to avenge the incident of passing the flower during the palace banquet last time.
Ji Yuntang naturally would not show much pity to the person who was used by Concubine Li to harm her. She clenched her fists.
"How could there be someone like you who betrays the master and seeks fame around Concubine Li? This little eunuch must have been deliberately instigated by someone to be planted in Weiyang Palace to frame Concubine Li."
"If I hadn't been smart and seen through his plan today, I'm afraid I would have really thought that it was Concubine Li who sent someone to inform me to come here and deliberately left me out. I think the person behind this is just trying to destroy the relationship between me and Concubine Li, so that he can reap the benefits."
"Don't stop, keep beating him. Concubine Li just said that she wants to beat him to death!"
The two guards were also very angry when they heard this. Under their noses, a person with ulterior motives had sneaked into the Weiyang Palace.
Not to mention, they had never seen this little Shunzi before.
This shows that this person is not from the Weiyang Palace at all.
The two guards fought even harder!
Xiao Shunzi: "!!!"
He screamed in pain, sweated profusely, and felt like his body no longer belonged to him.
But just now, Ji Yuntang's words still fell into his ears, which made Xiao Shunzi unbelievable.
Obviously, it was Concubine Li who asked him to pass a message to Princess Ye, so he must bring the person to her.
But why did Princess Ye say that he had leaked the message on purpose?
Xiao Shunzi was beaten to death. He raised his head with difficulty and looked towards the magnificent Weiyang Palace, praying that Concubine Li would come out to save his life, or even help him confirm the matter.
But he waited for a long time and did not see Concubine Li.
How could she not know about this kind of thing that happened in Weiyang Palace?
The answer is definitely impossible.
