C565 His way of life (2/2)
Then another nanny stepped on her leg and tortured it where there was no flesh or skin.
”Senior Servant Li, stop for now. There's no need to waste your strength.” Lian Ruyue raised her hand and said.
”County Lord …” Lan Jing looked at Lian Rue in fear.
”Lan Jing, this County Lord can tell you directly. Yesterday, the Imperial Concubine gifted me with a pastry for another purpose. She wanted to bring a servant who was monitoring me here to interrogate. As for who it was, I don't know either, I didn't expect it to be you.
I gave you a bracelet and forced you to accompany me out yesterday to follow Princess Thirteen, all on purpose. I naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to think that a servant of Yi Xiu Palace would betray Princess Thirteen for the sake of a county lord like me.
After you inform Princess Thirteen and the Empress, Princess Thirteen will let you continue to follow me without a change in her expression, making me think that you have been bribed by my golden bracelet. As I expected, when I came to the palace in the name of thanking the imperial concubine, they sent you over.
Since I've set up such a big trap, it's clear that I have to find out what I want to know. If you don't tell me, I'll be free to use a hundred different ways to deal with you. Among these methods, there were just the first one, but do you still want to try the second one? ”
Lian Ruyue stood up and slowly approached Lan Jing. She spoke with an unhurried tone.
”This servant says, this servant will say immediately.” Lan Jing was in pain and scared. She was also covered in cold sweat because of Lian Ruyue's words. She never thought that this county lord would be so cautious. Every step he made was planned so carefully that it was impossible to guard against him!
”Go ahead.” Lian Ruyue was sitting on a chair as her bone-chilling gaze fell on Lan Jing.
Lan Jing didn't dare to speak another word. She repeated every single word that Feng Ziyao had said, not daring to leave a single word behind.
When Imperial Concubine Liang heard this, she frowned slightly and said to Lian Ruyue, ”Thirteen said that your death wasn't too far away. If she went against the Duke of Xiao, then there definitely wouldn't be a good ending.
”Mistress, it is as I expected. With Xiao Zhenhai's scheming nature, how could he let go of any opportunity to kill me and save Xiao Shan? He won't just watch his son collapse. He must have convinced Princess Thirteen and used the Emperor's love and trust towards her to accuse me of killing Senior Servant Jin and marrying into Xiao Shan. ” Lian Ruyue's eyes revealed a mocking smile as she said this.
”If that's really the case … What should I do? ” Imperial Concubine Liang gripped the handkerchief in her hands tightly. ”Let's quickly think of a way to deal with this.”
She raised her gaze and looked at the trembling Lan Jing. She said, ”Come over here and tell Princess Thirteen that I plan to rescue Princess Eleven tonight, and that she wants to tell him that I have a way to restore her status as a princess.” ”Remember, every single move of yours is within the grasp of this County Lord. If you find your life too long, you can come and challenge me.”
”Yes, yes …” ”Your servant, your servant obeys the decree.” Lan Jing had long been frightened out of her wits by Lian Ruyue's deep thoughts. How could she dare to resist? Moreover, she only passed on a sentence to Princess Thirteen.
”Yue Er, what are your plans?” Imperial Concubine Liang asked.
Lian Ru Yue's lips slowly rose as she said, ”Treat him back the same way he did.”
