Chapter 188 Seeking pleasure every night?
Concubine Rong watched as Nanny Qin was beaten and screamed in pain, begging for mercy.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, I am wrong, I am wrong!"
Nanny Qin started to be afraid of Chu Li in just a short while.
She never knew that the prince could decide a person's life or death with just a few words, and even Concubine Rong was helpless.
The prince used to be like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Concubine Rong, but the prince now has Concubine Rong under his control.
She knew who to ask for mercy, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I will definitely change, I will definitely change..."
Chu Li never believed in the so-called guarantees of people who had done bad things. Reforming themselves was just a compromise between life and death.
She watched expressionlessly as the eunuchs and palace maids beat Nanny Qin.
After thirty strokes of the cane, Nanny Qin was covered in blood and could not move.
Chu Li said coldly, "Is Concubine Rong going to have any objection if we drive this cunning slave out of the palace?"
Concubine Rong looked at the dying Nanny Qin and replied, "Drive her out. Such a cunning and domineering old slave should not have stayed in the palace a long time ago."
She thought of another idea, "Prince, she has been with me before, so let me escort her out of the palace."
Chu Li waved his hand indifferently, "Since they are Concubine Rong's people, then leave them to Concubine Rong."
Concubine Rong was relieved because Nanny Qin was not dead yet. This old slave had helped her do a lot of bad things.
If Chu Li knew about this, it would not be of any benefit to her.
Nanny Qin was dragged away. Concubine Rong glanced at Xiao Dezi and knew that she could not spare his life.
"Prince, Xiao Dezi used to work in my palace. Some things were not handed over properly and I can't find them. I want to bring him back to look for them."
Chu Li nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you. If something is lost in Concubine Rong's palace, Xiao Dezi is my man. If he is inexplicably accused of stealing property, I can't afford it."
Concubine Rong gritted her teeth secretly, thinking how Chu Li dared to frame Concubine Shu for theft.
Since Chu Li is going with Xiao Dezi, how can she kill people to silence them? It seems that she can only ask her brother's people to do it.
Thinking of this, she angrily threw her sleeves and left.
Chu Li glanced at Kong Wu, who understood what he meant and immediately followed Concubine Rong's men quietly.
Chu Li warned the remaining maids and eunuchs, "Whether the Imperial Concubine Shu was wrongly accused or someone deliberately framed her has not yet been investigated. If anyone dares to treat the Imperial Concubine Shu harshly again, you will suffer the same fate as Nanny Qin."
Chu Li's voice was calm, but it frightened them all to their knees.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on the side of Concubine Shu. They now know to be wary of the future king of the Great Chu Kingdom.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Concubine Shu's voice came, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Rong deliberately framed Concubine Shu, Chu Li said, looking back.
"Your Highness, please bear with me in the cold palace for now. I will find a way to clear your name."
Concubine Shu nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."
She and Chu Li looked at the eunuch Xiao Dezi at the same time. They both understood each other tacitly, knowing that Concubine Rong might send someone to silence them soon.
"Xiao Dezi, follow me back to the East Palace." Chu Li stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Dezi who was kneeling on the ground.
Xiao Dezi was flattered. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only rescued him, but was also willing to take him to the Eastern Palace!
He thought he was going to die today, but unexpectedly he escaped death and turned a disaster into a blessing, becoming a member of the prince's palace.
His throat choked with excitement. He stood up with the help of a pillar and followed Chu Li.
Chu Li asked him as they walked, "Can you keep up?"
Xiao Dezi nodded, "Master, just keep going forward, I can keep up!"
Chu Li smiled slightly. She took a fancy to Xiao Dezi not only because he knew Concubine Rong's secret.
Moreover, although Xiao Dezi is a eunuch, he is kind-hearted. He is fearless in the face of power and is more courageous than some healthy men.
She admired little eunuchs like this, so she really wanted to keep him by her side.
After Chu Li brought him back, he had someone give Xiao Dezi medicine and took him to the study.
Xiao Dezi was a smart man. He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am of humble status and death is not a pity, but I want to let you know that Concubine Rong has a wild man in her palace. They hang out together almost every night. I am sure that man is definitely not Your Majesty."
Chu Li asked doubtfully, "Have you ever seen any strange men appear in Concubine Rong's palace?"
Xiao Dezi thought for a moment, "In the past few months, His Majesty has come here a few times. Except for a few eunuchs and maids who serve her personally, no one else has entered Concubine Rong's palace."
Chu Li's eyes darkened, "Which eunuch can serve Concubine Rong personally?"
Xiao Dezi blurted out, "Zhu Qunying, he is the trusted eunuch of Concubine Rong."
Chu Li thought about it, a eunuch and Concubine Rong having fun every night?
Zhu Qunying is a eunuch. Even if we report this to our father, there is no evidence.
She suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Dezi, "Are you sure it was the wild man who was having an affair with Concubine Rong, and not the eunuch and Concubine Rong playing around?"
Xiao Dezi felt that both the prince and he were men, and he said it bluntly.
"I'm sure it's a wild man, because that kind of sound is only made when a man and a woman have sex..."
Chu Li said secretly: Xiao Dezi, you understand a lot!
Xiao Dezi scratched his head and said, "When your majesty and your majesty performed the Zhougong ceremony before, I was waiting outside, and the sound was similar."
Chu Li ate the melon and it ended up being his scumbag father's fault.
She couldn't help but sigh, what kind of hobbies do these people have? Do they need someone to cheer them on and add to the fun when they do that kind of thing?
Chu Li withdrew his thoughts and looked at Xiao Dezi, "Well, I know. Concubine Rong will definitely not let you go. I will let Kong Wu protect you closely. Take this."
Chu Li handed Xiao Dezi a white porcelain medicine bottle, and Xiao Dezi asked curiously, "Your Highness, what is this?"
"poison."
Xiao Dezi immediately knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If they interrogate Xiao Dezi, I will never implicate Your Highness and will immediately commit suicide by taking poison."
Chu Li rubbed his eyebrows, what a strange train of thought.
However, this is also what she admires about Xiao Dezi. If a person is not afraid of life and death, he basically has no weaknesses.
She smiled and looked at Xiao Dezi, "I want you to sprinkle it directly on the other person when you are in danger, and he will be unconscious instantly."
"If it accidentally enters your body, bite your finger and let the blood immediately, and you will be fine."
Xiao Dezi scratched his head embarrassedly. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave him this so that he could protect himself.
Xiao Dezi left gratefully, and Chu Li sat alone in the room looking at the waning moon in the sky.
It's already dark and the palace gates are closed. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the palace tonight.
However, she was still worried about her two children.
