Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 334
"Young master, don't hit me anymore, this servant knows it's wrong..."

"He'er." Mrs. Su hurried to pull Nian Shuang away, although she also wished to strip Nian Shuang alive.But at this moment, in front of so many people, He Er punched and kicked a maid like this.In everyone's eyes, he is a vicious master who wantonly beat and scolded his servants, which will hinder his reputation in the future.She couldn't, she couldn't let He Er's future be ruined by this vicious woman like Nian Shuang.

Over there, a sympathetic woman helped her up and patted her back to comfort her.

"Don't cry, Princess Changle is here now, she will definitely make the decision for you." As soon as these words came out, Ling Xihan thought it was impossible to ignore this matter.

"Miss..." Ruoyu naturally knew that her own lady didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but now that the matter has come to this point, the reason is because of Zui Yunxuan, if she doesn't care about it, the people in Hezhou will definitely have objections.

Ling Xihan rubbed her sore temples, but she didn't really care about her reputation.The point is, she can't understand this maid named Nian Shuang, and she is too domineering.This reminded her of those women in the old palace, especially the scheming Zisu.Today's Nian Shuang is not much more scheming than Zisu.And she was sure that there must be someone behind Nian Shuang.If she doesn't help today, Mrs. Su will definitely be bullied by her and go to jail if things continue like this.Even Mrs. Su's son might be murdered by her.Because she would never let Su He take away her son's position as the eldest son no matter what.

Of course, Ling Xihan was even more suspicious that the child in Nian Shuang's womb was not Su Yanting's.Otherwise, she would not have killed Su Yanting.You know, in this era where men are king.If Nian Shuang really had an affair with Su Yanting, then Su Yanting would be her lifelong support.How could she kill him before she hugged this big tree tightly?What's more, Nian Shuang will obviously be instigated by someone to frame her.It's just that she pointed out the real cause of Su Yanting's death, so she had no choice but to put the blame on Mrs. Su.Te can also use this to get rid of Mrs. Su and seize the property of the Su family.It's really good calculation, good planning.

But, she just couldn't understand how she pretended to be weak.

But before Ling Xihan could say anything in the future, there was the sound of uniform footsteps over there.Everyone looked up and saw two teams of officers and soldiers trotting towards them.The crowd automatically moved out of the way.The officer in charge looked at the crowd and frowned.Looking at Ling Xihan again, he was slightly taken aback.

"The girl is the princess of Changle?" He cupped his hands and asked politely.

Ling Xihan nodded, "Exactly."

The leader nodded, his expression indifferent.

"Someone came to the yamen to report to the officials just now, saying that the truth about Mr. Su's death has been found out a few days ago, and the magistrate ordered me to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice."

Ling Xihan frowned, and sneered across the corner of his mouth.It's really slow, Su Yanting has been dead for three days, and now he is here to arrest people.

"Master Su died of food poisoning. Now there are two suspects."

The head catcher was slightly startled, "Two people?" He looked at Mrs. Su who was standing aside, her face was pale with anger, and he was a little puzzled.

Ling Xihan nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Su said just now that her maid, Nian Shuang, planned to kill Mr. Su. But Nian Shuang also said that she was pregnant with Mr. Su's child, and Mrs. Su killed Mr. Su out of jealousy."

The head catcher was even more astonished, and looked at Nian Shuang in disbelief.

"Master Su and Mrs. Su are deeply in love with each other, so how could he be ambiguous with a maid behind her back."

Nian's eyes flickered slightly, his face was miserable and self-deprecating.

"Doesn't Shen Butou believe in this servant?" She stroked her belly with her left hand, "This servant is already a month pregnant. If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to check on this servant." Flashed stubbornness and perseverance.

Seeing that she was so sure, Shen Butou felt a little loose in his heart.

"She is indeed pregnant." Ling Xihan said lightly, which surprised Nian Shuang.

"However..." Ling Xihan's voice changed, "Master Su is dead now, and no one can guarantee who the child in Nian Shuang's belly is."

"You—" Nian Shuang pointed at Ling Xihan angrily, ignoring the panic rising in her heart, and said angrily, "Princess Changle, what do you mean by that? Although a slave is just a servant, she also knows what self-respect and self-love are." How could the slaves lie about such things as a woman's innocence?"

"Only you can know whether you lied or not." Ling Xihan gave her a cold look, that look was extremely cold, Nian Shuang felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and his face turned pale.

"It's easy to know the truth." Ling Xihan walked up to the man who was stepped on by Ruoxue, and his cold voice sounded.

"Tell me, who ordered you to stir up trouble in Zuiyunxuan?"

The man's eyes dodged, and he poked his neck and said: "No one ordered me, I just complained for Mr. Su. Now the truth has come to light, and I know how much I misunderstood the princess before. I hope the princess will see it in my ignorance. For the sake of this, spare my little life." He begged as he spoke.

The onlookers were a little displeased when they heard Ling Xihan say that the man provoked them, but after his rebuttal, they felt that it was reasonable.

Ling Xihan looked at the man coldly, "Do you know the ten tortures?"

"Huh?" The man originally thought that Ling Xihan would let him go on the excuse of going down the slope, but he didn't want her to ask such a strange question suddenly, he couldn't react for a while, and asked subconsciously: "What are the top ten tortures? "

Ling Xihan's eyes wandered far away, "The first one is skinning. When peeling, the knife is cut from the spine, and the skin on the back is divided into two halves, and the skin and muscles are slowly separated with the knife, tearing apart like a butterfly spreading its wings. It is difficult for fat people, because there is a pile of oil between the skin and muscles, which is not easy to separate. There is another peeling method, I don’t know how reliable it is. The method is to bury the person in the soil, with only one head exposed. A cross was cut on the top of the head, and after the scalp was pulled away, mercury was poured into it. Because the mercury is very heavy, it will pull the muscles and skin apart, and the person buried in the soil will writhe in pain and cannot Break free, and finally the body will jump out "naked" from the opening on the top of the head, leaving only a piece of skin left in the soil. "

The man broke out in cold sweat when he heard it, the surrounding people, including officers and soldiers arresting their heads, and Mrs. Su Nian Shuang couldn't help trembling all over.

"The second type is cutting in half. Cutting in half cuts a person in the middle, and the main organs are in the upper body, so the prisoner will not die immediately. The third is splitting by chariot, that is, dismembering the body by five horses, which is very simple, that is, the victim's head and limbs are tied with ropes, and five fast horses are drawn to gallop in five directions, tearing the person into six pieces."

"The fourth type is the five punishments, that is, beheading, chopping, hands, eyes, and ears are combined into one, that is, "cutting into eight pieces". Usually, the person's head, hands and feet are chopped off after the person is killed. Come down and chop the torso into three pieces..."

"Ouch... vomit..." Before Ling Xihan finished speaking, Nian Shuang covered his lips and vomited first. Looking at other people, many of them couldn't help but covered their lips with disgust and panic.But the man who was trampled by Ruoxue was full of fear and panic.

"Princess, you can't torture the little one privately."

Ling Xihan ignored him and talked to himself.

"The sixth type is Ling Chi. Ling Chi needs to be performed by two people, starting from the feet. A total of [-] knives will be cut, that is, a thousand pieces of meat will be cut before the prisoner is allowed to die. If you die, the executor will also be punished..."

"No, don't, I don't want to be punished like this." The man interrupted Ling Xihan in horror, and looked at her like he was watching a ghost, as if Ling Xihan would really skin him if he was a step late in answering.

"No... I said, I said... yes..."

Suddenly the wind in the air tightened, and a tiny needle passed through the crowd and shot straight into the man's eyebrow.Ling Xihan's eyes were suddenly as cold as a knife, her figure moved quickly, two slender fingers clamped the silver needle, and fired it back in the original direction.Ruoyu and Ruoxue also reacted immediately, and quickly stood around the man with vigilant eyes.At this time, Ling Xiqing also flew down from the second floor, and immediately pulled Nian Shuang behind her, her gaze was cold.The people who were watching were all shocked by this scene, and they all acted like birds and dogs.

Shen Butou was also surprised, and then drew out his saber.

"There are assassins." The officers and soldiers drew out their sabers one after another, looking around warily.

"Third Sister." Ling Xiqing turned her head and looked at Ling Xihan with concern, and was slightly relieved to see that she was fine.

"I saw it just now. The silver needle was launched from the northwest. I have already had someone chase it. You stay here first, and I will catch her."

"Second Sister, wait." Seeing that she was about to leave, Ling Xihan hurriedly called her.

"There needs to be someone to preside over the overall situation here. Mrs. Su was frightened, so you send their mother and child back. As for that person..." She narrowed her eyes, which were so cold.

"She's coming for me, don't worry about it."

"But..." Ling Xiqing still wanted to live, and suddenly countless silver needles flew from all directions.Ling Xihan was startled, "Second Sister, be careful." She flung out her long sleeves to block the silver needles from flying arrows like rain, and ordered coldly, "If it rains and snows, take the two of them down." Nian Shuanghe That man is a witness and cannot die.

Although Ruoyu and Ruoxue were worried about Ling Xihan, they also knew it was not appropriate to argue about these things at this time, so they nodded in agreement.Then, one person dragged another person and quickly flew into Zuiyunxuan.

"Damn it!" Not far away, Ouyang Hanyan looked at the door closed by Zui Yunxuan, gnashing his teeth with hatred.The killing intent towards Ling Xihan is also heavier.She suddenly took out a crossbow from her sleeve, set up a short arrow, aimed at the figures of Ling Xihan and Ling Xiqing below, and fired it.

Hearing the murderous aura in the wind, Ling Xihan suddenly looked back, and with a wave of his right hand, the arrow fell to the ground.Suddenly, I heard a cry in my ear.

"Qing'er, be careful."
