Zhuyue faced Zhao Yinger, raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

A crisp sound could be heard outside the carriage, but the coachman and the accompanying servants did not dare to check. They thought it was Zhao Ying'er beating the maid. This kind of thing happened so often that they were used to it.

Zhao Ying'er had two teeth knocked out, spit out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "Come..."

Before he could say the word "human", Zhuyue pinched his chin, reached out and pulled out his tongue.

Zhao Ying'er whimpered and fainted from the pain without even making a cry.

The little maid was so frightened that she huddled in the corner of the carriage, her eyes widened, and she couldn't say a word.

Zhuyue said calmly: "Go back and report today's events to your family truthfully. My princess said that if she does something again, she will not be spared. This is the second time, so I will pull out her tongue. If there is a third time, she will not be spared."

, not only her life, but also the entire nine Zhao family families will suffer!"

"Yeah!" The little maid nodded like a fool.

"If Zhao Yinfeng and Li Shujie want to find an explanation, my princess will be waiting for you at any time!" After Zhuyue said this, he stepped out of the carriage.

The coachman and the servants were a little surprised when they saw a young girl getting out of the carriage and disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The servant asked inside the car: "Madam, are you okay?"

The little maid said in a trembling voice: "Madam has fainted. Come back home quickly!"

If something like this happened, I could have gone directly to the hospital to treat the young lady, but when it came to the wife's reputation and Prince Xuan's palace, she couldn't make the decision.

The carriage drove quickly back to Li Mansion.

It happened that Li Shujie had lunch and was going to the Yamen. When he saw the carriage coming back like crazy, he couldn't help but grimace, "What are you doing on the rampage? What should I do if I hurt someone?"

"Sir!" The little maid rolled out of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Madam's tongue was pulled out by Princess Xuan, and she is now unconscious!"

Li Shujie's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned black, "Carry the person in, go to the Zhao Mansion and ask their doctor to come over!"

The matter was so important that Li Shujie did not dare to hire a doctor outside. Zhao Yinfeng had a doctor in his house and he was strict with himself.

He knew his wife's foul mouth best, and her scolding was comparable to that of a village woman. Because he took advantage of his father-in-law's influence, he was often ridiculed and scolded by her, and even his aunts and concubines and children were scolded by her.

Zhao Ying'er was Zhao Yinfeng's youngest legitimate daughter. She was pampered by her mother-in-law and became domineering and willful. Therefore, she couldn't find a good family until she was eighteen years old, so she found him, a man who had been divorced and had concubines and children.

Unfortunately, he had just arrived at that time and had no connections in the capital or the court. When Zhao Yinfeng offered him an olive branch, he eagerly grabbed it without even asking about Zhao Ying'er's reputation.

Seeing Zhao Ying'er beaten into a pig's head with her mouth full of blood, Li Shujie actually felt a little grateful to Shangguan Ruoli.

It was good to have her tongue removed. Finally, he no longer had to listen to her harsh words.

Zhao's Mansion and Li's Mansion were very close, and the government doctor came quickly. When the government doctor was invited, Zhao Yinfeng and his wife were alerted, and they also came in a hurry.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter like this, she rushed over and started crying, "Daughter, my sweetheart, why are you like this?"

Zhao Yinfeng said coldly: "Don't delay the doctor's treatment!"

Mrs. Zhao finally regained her composure and hurriedly moved out of the way, "Quickly, treat Miss Third's injuries quickly!"

Zhao Yinfeng looked at the little maid coldly and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"

This maid was the one he arranged to stay with Zhao Ying'er, and he believed her words.

The little maid knelt on the ground and told everything exactly, word for word.

Zhao Yinfeng and Li Shujie both looked pale and frightened when they heard this.

Mrs. Zhao cried and shouted: "That vicious woman, Princess Xuan, actually abused my daughter like this. Master, you have to make the decision for Ying'er! Let's go to the imperial court..."

"Pa!" A slap fell on Mrs. Zhao's face.

Mrs. Zhao suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed in the acupuncture point. She opened her mouth and stood there in a daze. She couldn't believe that Zhao Yinfeng actually beat her in front of her son-in-law and so many servants.

Zhao Yinfeng said coldly: "She even went to complain to the emperor. She insulted Princess Xuan and cursed King Xuan. The emperor will only implicate the nine clans! Pulling out her tongue is already showing mercy to Princess Xuan. This evil girl is trying to put Shujie and I's future at risk."

The lives of both families have been ruined!”

Only now did Mrs. Zhao realize the seriousness of the matter, and slowly slumped down on her chair, sobbing.

Li Shujie lowered his head, feeling a little downcast, and said in a deep voice: "The tongue is still there, I am willing to ask Doctor Bai to come over, maybe she can find a way to reattach Ying'er's tongue."

When they were a couple, he still knew Bai Qingqing's temper. She would not not save Zhao Ying'er just because she hated him.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her dejected eyes lit up, "Really? What are you waiting for? Go quickly! Go quickly!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Yinfeng stopped him, "That's it, just save your life."

Since Princess Xuan pulled out her tongue and he took it back, Princess Xuan had no way of explaining it.

Princess Xuan did not make any announcement and dealt with the man secretly, which was regarded as giving him great face.

Mrs. Zhao's eyes were like fire, and she asked in a sharp voice: "You, what did you say?"

Zhao Yinfeng stared at Mrs. Zhao coldly, "Ying'er's fate today is the result of your pampering and indulgence. If you cause trouble like this again, take Ying'er to the family temple!"

Mrs. Zhao wilted all of a sudden and cried in despair and despair.

Zhao Yinfeng patted Li Shujie on the shoulder, "Ying'er has had nothing to do for three years, and she has violated the rule of seven outings. I will give you the fifth lady, who is a concubine, as your equal wife, and hope to give birth to a legitimate son for you as soon as possible."

Zhao Ying'er is considered useless. Li Shujie is a talent and cannot be let go. Besides, he feels a little sorry for giving such a troublemaker to Li Shujie.

Mrs. Zhao realized what Zhao Yinfeng had said, "You, you, are trying to force Ying'er to death!"

As he spoke, he couldn't breathe and fainted.

…

The affairs of the Li Mansion were quickly reported to Shangguan Ruoli by the secret guard.

Shangguan Ruoli sneered: "This Zhao Yinfeng is quite sensible, but a little too ruthless."

Feng Jinxing flipped through the account book with his slender fingers and said with a smile: "Sacrificing a daughter for the sake of power is nothing. Besides, it is indeed you who showed mercy to them."

Shangguan Ruoli turned around and ordered Zhuyue: "Tell them not to report this matter to the prince."

If Dongming Ziyu knew what Zhao Ying'er scolded her, pulling out his tongue would be the easiest thing to do.

She didn't want to ruin the court affairs for Zhao Ying'er and make the fifth prince lose a support. The fifth prince went to sea, there was no news, and his life and death were unknown. I am afraid that many of the forces in the court have been shaken and will become less and less.

Feng Jinxing smiled slightly, "Princess Xuan is still too soft-hearted and too kind. Sometimes this is also a shortcoming."

"Too kind?" This is the second time Shangguan Ruoli has heard this comment recently, one from Dongming Ziyu and the other from Feng Jinxing.

This made her seriously doubt that she was really too kind.

"Yes, Li'er is indeed so kind." As the door of the private room opened, Dongming Ziyu came in, his cold eyes sweeping over Feng Jinxing.
