Chapter 187 Chu Li Protects Witness
Xiao Dezi was pinned to the ground and he resisted fiercely.
"Beat him!" Concubine Rong glanced at him sideways. Someone actually dared to disobey her.
Concubine Shu wanted to save people, she said calmly: "Concubine Rong, the person you want to target is me, I don't know this servant!"
Concubine Rong sneered, "Don't be so hypocritical, you can't even protect yourself, protect your own life first!"
"Beat him hard!" Rong Guifei's men pressed Xiao Dezi to the ground. After being beaten with several boards, Xiao Dezi's skin was torn and blood was flowing.
Xiao Dezi suddenly laughed. He looked at Concubine Rong fearlessly and said, "Come on, kill me! It's better to die than to live in such a cowardly way and be bullied by the high and mighty Concubine!"
He looked at Concubine Rong without fear, "So what if I was born as a worthless person? In my opinion, you are just a slut with a belly full of thieves and whores! Come on, kill me, I will turn into a demon and seek revenge on you every night, hahahaha..."
Concubine Rong was shocked. Xiao Dezi had indeed seen her affair with Zhu Qunying.
Now he is talking nonsense in front of so many people.
Xiao Dezi sneered, thinking that he deserved to die today, and before he died he would also tell everyone about Concubine Rong's evil deeds.
Anyway, he has no family anymore and has already put life and death aside!
Concubine Shu quickly grasped the key point: the man is a thief and the woman is a whore!
Who was Concubine Rong committing adultery with in the harem?
The eunuch beside her actually said these words regardless of his own life and death, so it seems that they are probably true.
Concubine Shu wanted to save Xiao Dezi's life, but Xiao Dezi had already made up his mind to die.
She knew that she couldn't save Xiao Dezi on her own.
Concubine Rong was so angry that she said, "Beat him to death! He is crazy and is slandering the master with nonsense. Beat him to death! Quickly!"
Just as the board was about to fall, a voice came from the roof, "Is Concubine Rong so anxious to kill someone?"
Concubine Rong was startled and looked towards the roof, only to see Chu Li standing there in a heroic manner, looking down at her.
"Chu, Chu, Chu Li!" Concubine Rong's face changed drastically.
Chu Li jumped down, and Concubine Shu was overjoyed when she saw him.
Chu Li fanned himself with a folding fan as he walked towards Concubine Rong. "My Lady, Xiao Dezi is from my palace. Have you asked me before you teach him a lesson?"
Concubine Rong pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Prince? Xiao Dezi was a eunuch in my palace. I sent him to the cold palace because he was crazy. When did he become a member of the Eastern Palace?"
Chu Li smiled faintly, "When Concubine Rong was imprisoned a few months ago, Concubine Shu was in charge of the harem and she transferred Xiao Dezi to my palace to serve. Of course you don't know about this!"
Concubine Rong gritted her teeth. Chu Li actually told so many people about how she was put in solitary confinement by His Majesty!
He actually deliberately humiliated her!
Concubine Shu immediately responded, "Your Highness, I did see Concubine Rong beat your little eunuch Xiao Dezi with my own eyes."
Concubine Rong glanced at Concubine Shu. This bitch was actually in cahoots with the crown prince.
Chu Li looked at Xiao Dezi who was lying on a stool and was beaten, and said coldly.
"My people, Concubine Rong beat them up without hesitation, and even beat them until their skin was torn and their flesh was bruised. Is Concubine Rong trying to deceive me?"
Xiao Dezi looked at Chu Li with gratitude. He and the prince had only met a few times, and yet the prince helped him like this.
He said excitedly: "Your Highness, please take Xiao Dezi back."
Concubine Rong looked at Chu Li, Concubine Shu, and Xiao Dezi with cold eyes.
The three of them joined forces not only to embarrass her.
Both Chu Li and Concubine Shu heard what Xiao Dezi said just now.
If they followed Xiao Dezi's words and continued investigating, her affair with Zhu Qunying might be exposed.
Chu Li insisted that Xiao Dezi was his man, and Concubine Shu testified to his face.
Now that she wanted to kill Xiao Dezi, there was no possibility.
She looked at Xiao Dezi and warned him, "Xiao Dezi is crazy and often talks nonsense. Your Highness, please don't be fooled by him."
Chu Li said carelessly: "I will naturally discipline my people. Concubine Rong ordered people to beat up my people, so you have to give an explanation!"
Concubine Rong asked coldly, "What does the prince want?"
Chu Li pointed at Nanny Qin and said, "This old woman is yours. I saw with my own eyes that she fed Concubine Shu rotten rice. Do you want me to go and tell my father in person?"
Nanny Qin has been helping Concubine Rong in the cold palace to deal with the concubines who are against her.
Her impression of Chu Li is still that of a loser.
She did not beg for mercy from Chu Li, but knelt down and pleaded with Concubine Rong.
"My Lady Rong, please speak up for me. My eyes are blurry and I didn't see clearly that it was rotten rice. I accidentally gave it to the Lady Shu!"
Chu Li looked at the eunuchs and maids in the cold palace, "If you can't see clearly, just feed her well!"
Nanny Qin's jaw was pried open and someone forced the rotten rice on the ground into her mouth.
She retched violently, finally realizing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not joking.
Nanny Qin secretly glanced at Chu Li. The prince was different now. He had an aura that was so majestic that it made people shudder.
She was a little scared, and kowtowed to Chu Li and Concubine Rong, "Your Highness, please spare me! Concubine Rong, please save me!"
Concubine Rong couldn't stand it anymore. Nanny Qin was an elder by her side. How dare Chu Li teach her a lesson!
"Prince! When beating a dog, you should look at its owner first. You are going too far!"
Chu Li sneered, "Noble Concubine Rong taught my people a lesson, but why can't I teach your people a lesson? Come on, give this old man thirty lashes and expel him from the palace!"
"No! Your Highness, please spare my life!" Nanny Qin was completely terrified.
She originally thought that the prince was still the cowardly prince as before, but she didn't expect that he seemed to have become a different person, so ruthless and merciless.
She is old, and being beaten with thirty sticks would be the end of her life.
"Beat him well for me!" Chu Li looked at the other people in the cold palace.
Today she wants to see how many of them are Concubine Rong's people?
Almost all of these palace maids and eunuchs had received benefits from Concubine Rong.
They had the audacity to feed Nanny Qin rotten rice just now, but now Nanny Qin’s life is in danger, and none of them dared to move.
"Since you don't want to fight, great, I'll change people."
Chu Li looked outside the door and said, "Come in and beat me up!"
Concubine Rong was furious. Chu Li asked the guards to beat Nanny Qin with thirty sticks. Can she still leave the palace? She should be buried!
She compromised and said, "Your Highness, let the palace maids and eunuchs beat you!"
Chu Li raised an eyebrow, "Oh, then follow Concubine Rong's wishes!"
Concubine Rong gritted her teeth secretly, what a Chu Li! In this way, even if Nanny Qin died, it would be her who beat her!
Chu Li is waiting for her here!
Soon, Nanny Qin's screams reached everyone's ears.
When Concubine Shu saw this, she felt extremely relieved.
This old slave is arrogant and domineering because he relies on being Concubine Rong's man.
If Chu Li hadn't come today, she might have been tortured to death by Nanny Qin within a few days in the cold palace.
Chu Li helped her clean up, so she was naturally grateful.
She glanced at the excited Xiao Dezi, hoping that Chu Li could take Xiao Dezi away smoothly. Maybe he was a strong witness to overthrow Concubine Rong.
