Chapter 187: Bones Are Harder Than Mouths? Tell the truth
Mu Xue'e's soul was shocked, and her eyes flashed with worry about the Duchess of Guo, but when she turned her eyes and looked at Danzhu, she seemed to remember something, and immediately lowered her ghost's head, tightly covered her mouth with a long tongue, and pretended that the ostrich did not speak.
It's like a posture of making up your mind, not cooperating or saying anything.
"Okay, since you don't say it, then don't blame the other party for succeeding in his plan." Shen Lingxi whispered.
In Shen Lingxi's opinion, Danzhu knows the inside story, but even if she can risk her life to pit Mrs. Zhou, there must be a reason, that is, she will ask questions, and she will not easily tell the truth.
Then only from Mu Xue'e to force out the truth is the fastest way.
She no longer waited for Mu Xue'e to react, turned around and looked at Chu Yan from above, "Your Highness, from the perspective of poverty, no matter what the truth of this matter is, I am afraid that the forty vines of the Duchess of Cheng'en will not be enough." She can still make false accusations here, it can be seen that she has no remorse in her heart, insulting the poor Dao in public, interfering with His Highness's trial of the case, and committing the following crimes, why don't you beat another forty vines? ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
Everyone thought that Shen Lingxi was here to investigate the case, but they didn't expect that she was trying the case, and she was actually going to beat the Duchess again.
Only Danzhu's eyes showed an unconcealable joy.
Mrs. Zhou's face changed greatly, the previous imperial grandson beat her according to the "Law of the Great Zhou", Shen Lingxi, what kind of demon is it, dare to embarrass herself in public.
"You're just a fox! I am the Duchess of Yipinguo, what qualifications do you have to let His Highness flog me? “
Chu Yan's eyes sank slightly, looking at Shen Lingxi, he had already sensed Shen Lingxi's intentions, and only asked her, "Is forty vines enough?" Gu felt that Duchess Cheng'en was harder than her mouth, so she might as well be eighty vines. ”
Eighty vines!
Everyone present gasped.
If these eighty vines are beaten, the Duchess of Cheng'en will be a weak woman, and even if she saves her life, her bones will be broken.
I had to spend the rest of my life in bed.
If it is said that the grandson of the emperor ordered the beating of the Duchess Chengen, it can still be regarded as "according to the law".
This time, Mrs. Zhou slandered again, which obviously made the imperial grandson really angry, and he didn't even want to care about the law.
Sure enough, in terms of being fierce and perverse, and ruthless, it has to be His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.
It seems that the weight of this Shen girl in the heart of the imperial grandson is not only extraordinary, but she has to be protected by this highness to the bones.
Shen Lingxi smiled slightly: "This is very good, Poor Dao also thinks that a mere forty vines may not be enough for Duchess Chengen to convince her, so let's take eighty vines." ”
"Okay, then eighty vine flogs, and the execution will be carried out immediately." Chu Yan's expression was cold, "This time, I won't work Aunt Liu, and I will change my embroidered clothes to carry out the execution." ”
Eighty rattans.
Or embroidered clothes to execute.
Hearing these two words, Mrs. Zhou almost fainted.
"Grandpa Guo, did you just watch your concubine being beaten to death by them?" She turned her head to look at Cheng Engong, wanting to ask her husband for help again.
Cheng Engong had already seen the clue in Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi's singing and harmony, and said indifferently: "You have repeatedly taught and refused, and you have committed the following crimes, angering His Highness, and even your husband can't save you."
For the first time in Mrs. Zhou's life, despair welled up in her heart.
She married into the Cheng'en Mansion and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Relying on the face given by the queen mother and the power of the Guogong Mansion, she enjoys the preferential treatment of the stars and the moon among the noblewomen in the capital. For so many years, she has never been the only one who has used her power to bully people, "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die" to harm people.
The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more she hated it, and attributed all this to Shen Lingxi.
The imperial grandson was supposed to be her daughter's husband, and he was supposed to be towards her daughter!
If it weren't for Shen Lingxi's demonic way to bewitch His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, her daughter would not have died, why would she have been ordered to be beaten so badly by the Imperial Grandson!
The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more she hated, she was furious, she looked at Shen Lingxi who wanted to put her to death, thinking that it was useless for her to cry anyway, so she simply scolded.
"Shen Lingxi, you demon way, charm the prince, collude with the suspect, and harm my daughter's life, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Shen Lingxi was completely unmoved, and Qing Lingling's gaze only looked at Mu Xue'e's soul.
Mu Xue'e twisted her hands tightly, her eyes could not hide her anxiety, but she still didn't say anything.
And Chu Yan, who was sitting at the top, had already indifferently ordered, "Chunjun, fight." ”
Chunjun took the order, took the rattan from Aunt Liu's hand, walked to Mrs. Zhou's side, raised his hand and hit her waist and legs.
"Smack!" This time, the sound of rattan hitting Mrs. Zhou was completely different from that of Aunt Liu's execution.
"Hmm......" Mrs. Zhou let out a muffled snort, and the corners of her lips immediately oozed blood.
Danzhu, who was pressed on the ground by the embroidered clothes, saw this battle, and his eyes were extremely bright.
Mu Xue'e almost jumped up, her eyes were full of distress.
Her soul body stood in front of Mrs. Zhou, and she said anxiously to Shen Lingxi: "Don't fight, don't fight." Don't let him fight. ”
Shen Lingxi turned his head sideways and didn't say much.
Mrs. Zhou on the side still had the strength to continue scolding: "Aunt Liu, Gonggong Zhu, you have all seen it, His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince is shielding the demon girl......
"Fight again." Chu Yan said coldly, and his body was filled with a heavy aura.
"Smack!" Chunjun raised the rattan in his hand again and beat it hard.
This time, it was even heavier than last time, Mrs. Zhou was in great pain, and gritted her teeth and said: "Shen Lingxi, this demon girl, is jealous that my daughter is the queen mother and the queen's concubine, and she set up a treacherous plan with Li Yuejiao to cause my daughter to die in vain!" If you have a vicious mind, you will not die well......"
Mu Xue'e was completely panicked, "plopped" on her knees on the ground, her voice was crying, and she begged Shen Lingxi: "Miss Shen, I said, I said, you let him stop, I will say everything, please, stop beating my mother, please, I will say everything......"
Even if she said this, Shen Lingxi's gaze didn't fall on her at all, and she was completely unmoved.
You didn't say it when you asked, but now you want to say it, it's too late.
"Smack!" Chunjun hit it hard again.
Mrs. Zhou didn't even snort, she clenched her teeth in pain, and there were faint blood marks on her dress.
Seeing this, Mu Xue'e knew that if she told the truth, her mother would still have a glimmer of life, but if she continued not to say it, her mother would be beaten to death here.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Xue'e no longer dared to hide it, and quickly told the whole story of the matter as if she was pouring beans......
"Yesterday evening, I asked Danzhu to beat Li Yuejiao, and after I was stopped by you, I was really angry in my heart and had nowhere to vent. Danzhu gave me an idea, saying that she has a cousin who works as an errand in the inner guard of the palace, and she can drive me at night and help me clean up the three of you......"
