Chapter 110 - Orthodoxy
Li Jingyu was also unable to force him. Furthermore, if she had still held onto that sliver of hope, she would really be disappointed now. If Jin Chuyi really wanted to fight to the death, she naturally had to think of a way to protect herself.
”Alright, then you …”
”I won't be leaving today. I'll be waiting here.”
Li Jingyu nodded her head, the door was already broken from the kick, the cold wind blew in, and from the sound of the footsteps outside, the mama who were following him should have been shocked awake.
The four of them were a little panicked, but they were clearly shocked when they saw Jin Chupei, but they still quickly walked over to Li Jingyu's side and inquired in detail.
Li Jingyu could not remember the names of these girls from the Li Residence very clearly. She only remembered that they were named after the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and now, she could only tell which one of the four mama s was the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Jin Chupei's gaze swept across the few of them one by one. Their description was somewhat miserable, probably because they had just crawled out of bed. However, this did not mean that there was no traitor among the four of them. It was very likely that the traitor had gone to bed after opening the door, so it was not certain.
Sure enough, none of them noticed Jin Chupei's probing gaze, but Jin Chupei did not let any of them go. When the four of them saw that eunuch, the other three had shocked expressions, and only one of them had panic in his eyes. Seeing that the other party was only stuttering and unable to speak, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
”Senior Servant Qiu, you seem to know this person?”
The Senior Servant Qiu was startled. He looked at Jin Chupei, then saw that the Empress Dowager and the three mama s were all looking at him. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it.
”How could I possibly know him? Sixth Prince is joking.”
The three mama s of Spring, Summer, and Summer also had some doubt in their eyes. Before they had rested today, the Spring mama had locked the door well, but now that this person had appeared, someone must have opened the door. Because none of the eunuchs in the palace had any martial arts skills, all the servants in the palace knew it.
”A Qiu, you wake up in the middle of the night once, don't you?”
”A Xia, I'm not. You're thinking too much.”
The Senior Servant Qiu was clearly a bit agitated. Jin Chupei only focused on her, trying to find some flaws on her body.
”Senior Servant Qiu, it's really you?”
Li Jingyu also could not believe that the mama who had followed her for so many years would actually do such a thing. Compared to the cruelty Jin Chuyi treated her with, she could not accept the betrayal of the people around her.
Senior Servant Qiu kneeled on the ground with a thump. His eyes were filled with tears, buthe shook his head with all his might. She wanted to argue, but she didn't know how.
Jin Chupei's cold eyes immediately froze, ”I think it's better to ask this eunuch whether he's really a Senior Servant Qiu or not.”
As he slowly walked closer, the eunuch continuously squirmed backwards, but how could he be faster than Jin Chupei? He only grabbed onto the collar and flung in front of everyone.
”Tell everyone, did the Senior Servant Qiu open the door for you?”
Five pairs of eyes stared directly at the grey-clothed eunuch. The eunuch hesitated for a moment before fiercely nodding his head.
Jin Chupei curled his lips, and slowly walked towards the Senior Servant Qiu, his smile carried too much interest. She knew that her son was ruthless. Even if Senior Servant Qiu was at fault, after following him for so many years, he did not want her to be like this …
”Pei'er, let's just forget about it this time.”
Jin Chupei only glanced at Li Jingyu, but continued to walk toward the Senior Servant Qiu.
Senior Servant Qiu had no way to explain himself. He could only close her eyes tightly as tears rolled down her face that was filled with vicissitudes of life.
”Senior Servant Qiu, get up.”
The moment Jin Chupei's hand touched him, Senior Servant Qiu's body trembled as he opened his eyes in shock. He didn't expect to see Jin Chupei kneeling down on one knee in front of him.
”Sixth Prince!”
”It's my fault. I was wrong about you.”
Senior Servant Qiu bit his lips and nodded. Another tear rolled down his cheek.
Li Jingyu was full of doubts. This eunuch even admitted that he was a Senior Servant Qiu, how could he be denied now?
”Pei'er, this!”
Jin Chupei shook his head, that cold gaze ruthlessly shot towards Xia mama.
”Xia mama, if you fall asleep, how would you know that Senior Servant Qiu is up at night?”
When Xia mama heard Jin Chupei suddenly mention him, he was shocked. His eyes were filled with fear as he opened his mouth to cry out for his wrongdoings.
”Xia mama, you probably didn't notice your bun.”
The few of them came to their senses and looked towards Xia mama. Seeing that her hair was in a neat bun, they looked at each other, and sure enough, they were all in a mess.
”Xia mama, why are you doing this?”
The person closest to Li Jingyu was this Xia mama, but he never thought that she would be the one to harm him.
”That day, I already said that if you are not willing to suffer alongside me in the Cold Palace, you can leave. Why are you helping others to harm me now?”
Seeing the pain in Li Jingyu's eyes, Xia mama suddenly laughed towards the sky, ”Haha Empress Dowager, you are no longer Empress Dowager, where do you think you can go after I leave you? Follow Zhang An? ”
