C341 severe treatment

The eunuch slowly pushed aside the black hair covering the corpse's forehead, revealing a face that was as white as paper with its eyes tightly shut.

The palace maid exclaimed in surprise, "Palace of Prudence's Senior Servant Liu …" The eighth prince's wet nurse! "

Empress Xu didn't want to look, but upon hearing her cry out in alarm, she couldn't help but turn back to look.

As it happened, the eunuchs had opened the sack completely and pulled it down to reveal half of their bodies. When the palace maid saw this, she cried out miserably and retreated a few steps before falling to the ground, vomiting so hard that she couldn't speak.

Even Empress Xu, who was used to seeing the cruel and bloody side of the harem, had a sudden change in expression. With a pale face, she immediately closed her eyes.

She had thought that she already knew Helian Yu's cold and ruthless personality. She hadn't thought that the person he trusted the Left Imperial Concubine the most could use such a cruel method as well. She thought about how Helian Yu's wings had become hard. Could it be that he saw that she had painstakingly cultivated Helian Meng these past few years, wanting to take his place?

Senior Servant Liu was Helian Meng's man, no matter what. The emperor had once said that he would give her interrogation and punishment, and before that, she had also pondered over whether she should go to Zuo Lianji and Helian Meng to discuss their plans and make a decision. This Helian Yu didn't even say a word. He had cut them off halfway and even used such a cruel method to deal with them before handing them over to her. Besides showing Helian Meng's color, he also wanted to make an example out of them.

Empress Xu forced herself to remain calm, not daring to open her eyes. She took a deep breath to adjust her breathing, and asked, "Did the East Palace say anything?"

"His Highness the crown prince only said that he wanted to help the empress share her worries before he dealt with this servant." Oh, he also said that this palace cannot tolerate such disgrace from the imperial family. If I don't make an example out of her, I'm afraid that even more servants will secretly do these things. "

Empress Xu forced a smile, "The Eastern Palace has thought this through, but your wrist is a bit too iron and blood …"

A cold and calm voice came from inside the hall, "What mother said is right. It is precisely because I was worried about your kindness and friendship with Imperial Concubine Zuo that I wanted to share your worries. I was afraid you wouldn't make this decision."

Empress Xu suddenly opened her eyes and saw Helian Yu's tall figure standing at the entrance of the palace hall, blocking most of the sunlight outside. Empress Xu suddenly opened her eyes and saw Helian Yu's tall figure standing at the entrance of the palace hall, blocking most of the sunlight outside.

Empress Xu shuddered inexplicably, but instantly revealed a benevolent and graceful smile, "It's Yu'er. Recently, I was discussing how to deal with this matter, not knowing what to do. I can't let you handle it any better."

Helian Yu still had a faint smile on his face. Nodding his head, he walked in and casually said to the eunuchs, "Throw him out of the palace. Don't marinate the empress's palace."

"Your son is being severely punished, but mother will still scold you. Since mother agrees, then you should send someone to inform eighth royal brother, right? In case the people in his palace have disappeared, and are searching all over for him, I do not know what to do. "

"This matter should also be left to …"

"This matter cannot be overstepped by your son. As the master of the Six Palaces, it is only right for your mother to establish her authority and not for others to bully your benevolence."

"..." "Alright."

Helian Yu spoke a few more words with her before walking out.

Amidst her shock and anger, she swept all the items on the tea table off the floor, gasping for breath as she stared at the fragments on the ground. It was as if the reflection of Helian Yu's menacing face could be seen on every piece of broken porcelain, as a bloodthirsty glint appeared in her eyes.

"Ming'er, do you think that I have raised an ingrate just because I made a mistake?"

The court lady by his side looked timidly out the door and whispered, "Esteemed Empress, lower your voice …"

Empress Xu paused for a moment before waving her hand, "Send someone to tell the eighth prince about Senior Servant Liu … Tell him it wasn't me. "

The palace maid retreated.

Helian Meng was leisurely playing with an oriole when the empress sent the message over. He stretched out his scarlet tongue to lick his lower lip and smiled charmingly, "The crown prince's actions were really efficient. He was indeed the one who helped this king take care of that arrogant old woman."

After the messenger had retreated, Helian Meng's smile gradually disappeared. He opened the cage and gently caressed the oriole, allowing it to jump and struggle in his palm. However, his five fingers slowly closed up.

He whispered, "Birds, birds, what do you think the Crown Prince is thinking? Does he want to frighten me, or does he want to show me a little bit of color? "

The oriole was suffocated by the tightening of the binding, and it struggled in panic.

Helian Meng grabbed Huang Li out of the cage and looked at her with a slightly uneasy expression. He licked his lips and said, "Okay. You want to kill that old woman. I'll give her to you as a gift. But who is your final target?"

Unknowingly, his palm had come together. The oriole didn't even have the chance to make a short cry before it tilted its head and remained still.

"Meng'er! Meng'er!"

Helian Meng's forehead creased. Even though he was separated by several palace walls, he could still clearly hear the sharp, uneasy, yet gentle, female voice. He hastily tossed the dead bird in his hand and walked out.

Sure enough, his mufei, Zuo Lianqiang, hurried over with her beautiful eyes wide open. There was more shock than anger in them.

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you heard about your Grandma Liu?"

Helian Meng seemed to have just regained his senses. He stroked his hair and laughed softly. "Oh, mufei said something like that. Just now, Imperial Mother sent someone to spread the news. That's right, she died."

You … How could he be so calm? "No matter what, she was the one who brought you up and served you up until now …

The smile on Helian Meng's face gradually disappeared. "Being able to become the crown prince's wet nurse is her fortune, right? As for who she served … Actually, it has always been mufei and not me. "

"How can you speak like that?"

"Oh, if she were to secretly report my actions to mufei every now and then just for the sake of being interesting, then pretend I didn't say anything today." Helian Meng spread open his hands with a carefree and gentle smile on his face.

Zuo Lian's face froze.

"I don't want to investigate whether or not she stole Imperial Father's jade hairpin. I don't think mufei has any interest in investigating this matter, right? In short, Mother was ordered by her royal father to interrogate and send her away.

"Do you really think that your mother gave her away? "Why did I hear that when people were carried out of the East Palace?"

"Oh, without mother's orders, brother Crown Prince wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

Zuo Lianji's bewildered gaze turned back and forth, and after a long while, he nodded: "That makes sense, but what reason do you think your mother has to do this?"

Helian Meng suddenly leaned his face close to her ear and whispered, "Imperial Father's hairpin, I believe even Liu Mmedi cannot get it. Tell me, who was the one who planned this?"

Zuo Lian bit his lips and shock gradually appeared in his eyes. Could it be that the empress was the one who framed Mrs Liu and took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her? What was the purpose?

It had been eighteen years since that incident, and Empress Xu only suddenly took action now. Was she trying to silence all the people who knew of it?

Helian Meng looked at the left side of the road that was quickly leaving and a cunning smile appeared in his eyes. However, this mother and son pair had their own ulterior motives. No one knew what the other was thinking.
