Chapter 34: Eyeliner
At night, in the inner hall of Qi Ying's bedroom, Xi Ji and Kexin took a maid to kneel in front of the couch.
Qi Ying glanced at the maid coldly, and only drank tea quietly, and for a while the room was extremely quiet, as if he could hear the maid's heartbeat.
"Say it!" Ke Xin pushed the maid and shouted.
The maid trembled with shock, rubbed her hands together, and wept and said, "The maid knows that she is wrong, and begs the princess to spare the slave and maid......
Qi Ying took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly, "It's called Sizhu, right?" It's not difficult for me to spare you, so explain it well! ”
"The maid and Li Hu have known each other since childhood......"
Qi Ying suddenly put the teacup on a few points, and there was a "bang", interrupting Sizhu's words impatiently, "I don't need to listen to this." Tell me, who are you? ”
"Slave maid...... Naturally, they are the people of Xinyuin! ”
Qi Ying exhaled in annoyance and glanced at him.
Xi Zhi immediately understood, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "If you still want the child in your belly, just explain it honestly, don't wait for the hardships to talk about ......it."
Sizhu bit her pale lower lip, "The maid was waiting by the princess's side before......"
"So you are the princess's eyeliner in the Xinjue Courtyard? Are there any other accomplices here? ”
"No more!"
"I'll ask you again, is there anything else?" Qi Ying suddenly raised his voice and asked.
Sizhu was shocked by Qi Ying's voice, and hurriedly shook his head and replied, "No, it's really gone." ”
"Then let me ask you again, is Li Yang the person who the princess arranged to be next to Mrs. Liu?"
At this time, Sizhu's face was even more pale and colorless, chirping and whining, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Say" Ke Xin shouted, and immediately frightened Sizhu's body trembled.
"Yes"
Really! At that time, when Mrs. Liu was grounded, Qi Ying secretly guessed that there was something strange in it, and sure enough, he guessed it.
"Did the princess arrange eyeliner in every yard?"
"The slave doesn't know ......" Sizhu shook her head and sobbed, trying her best to deny it.
Sizhu's denial was already three hundred taels of silver here at this time, how could Qi Ying believe it, so he opened his mouth and said directly: "Say the names of those people, and I will find a way to let you out of the house." ”
"The maid really doesn't know, beg the princess to spare her life......"
In fact, Sizhu already knew in her heart that if she didn't say it at this time, Qi Ying would not spare her; Having said that, Princess Su will not spare her. At this time, the two paths in front of her were dead ends, and now she tried to deny them as nothing more than a dying throe.
"I heard that there is a ban in Beiyuan that a woman who is pregnant before marriage is burned at the stake; Also, I heard that there was a precedent in our palace before, the maid and the male servant in the palace had an affair, and both of them were beaten to death with sticks. Which of these two ways do you like to die? Ke Xin said leisurely, "Oh! However, Li Hu didn't seem to have a choice, so he could only beat him to death. ”
After listening to Kexin's words, Sizhu's face was like ashes, and she hesitated for a long time, and finally told everyone she knew.
After getting that list, Qi Ying had to admire the depth of Princess Su's city and the high means!
"I'll have you out of the house, but you'd better forget about today's events; Otherwise, even if I don't look for you, the princess will not let you go. Do you understand? ”
"The slave understands ......"
On the second day, someone came to ransom Sizhu, and two days later, Li Hu was expelled from the palace for making a mistake; Soon, the two of them left Chengping City with a sum of silver.
Unfortunately, this matter was arranged properly, and it did not attract the attention of Princess Su or others, and the matter was properly resolved, and Qi Ying and the others were also relieved.
In two days, Qi Ying's ban will be lifted, and I don't know how much turmoil awaits me behind.
