Chapter 484: Unsuccessful Suicide
Everyone came out.
Prince Shen asked in confusion, "Why are you calling us here? Are you giving us a warning? Do you also need to warn someone like me who has done nothing wrong?"
Duke Dongping looked at him, suddenly laughed, and said slowly: "If you really didn't do anything, you should be as tough as King Yong, right?"
Without waiting for him to finish his words, Prince Beijing suddenly rushed forward, grabbed him by the collar, gnashed his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead:
"Are you brave now? What about just now? Why were you so soft-boned just now?!"
"If I really had nothing left, I should have memorized all your words, King Bei, and repeated them to others one by one!
“Prince Beijing,” Duke Dongping pried open Prince Bei’s hand, pushed him aside, and sneered, “Do you think I have such a good memory?!”
Prince Beijing was suddenly choked.
Duke Dongping strode away, holding his robe.
As embarrassed as Prince Xining was just now, he was now as calm as ever, walking slowly forward in square steps.
Prince Beijing was annoyed and reached out to pull him: "Brother Jin!"
"No! You can do your thing, and I'll do mine! From now on, we'll keep our separate ways and never see each other again!"
Lord Xining raised his hand to shake him off, snorting coldly, "I am just a playboy, I am just going to live a life of idleness and wait for death!
"I don't have any direct descendants, and I don't seek any military merit. I will just hang on to the empty title for three generations, and then go back to my hometown to farm. It will be the same for my whole life!
"I don't dare to be pulled by you, nor do I want to be implicated by you! From now on, the friendship between the old generations is over."
Then he put his hands into his sleeves, took three steps and swayed, and walked away.
Prince Leshan, who had kept his mouth tightly shut and treated himself as an invisible man, followed behind the ashamed Prince Consort Yongchang. He bowed to Prince Shen, Prince Xiaoyao and Prince Consort Yongning, and left quietly.
The remaining three people looked at each other.
Prince Consort Yongning took the lead and said, "The princess has other instructions, so I have to go first. Your Highnesses, take your time."
He left in a hurry.
"You cleared yourself so quickly." King Shen smiled playfully and patted King Xiaoyao on the shoulder with emotion. "Xiaojiu, you admitted it so quickly. It seems that you really don't care about the life and death of King Bei and the others!"
King Xiaoyao froze for a moment, smiled bitterly, and whispered, "Brother Fifteen, I'm so hungry. I want to go back to the mansion and eat."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Duo had already rushed over, with his two newest subordinates: Jing Lian and Chun He.
King Shen glanced at them nonchalantly, then looked away and asked curiously:
"We were notified to attend court today last night. Didn't the family prepare breakfast for you this morning?"
King Xiaoyao lowered his head and hummed softly.
Prince Shen was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with anger: "You naughty slave!"
He turned around and told Chen Duo rudely, "There are not many good servants in your Nineteenth Master's house. Beat those who should be beaten and arrest those who should be arrested. Don't even think about giving them face!
"You are all shameless dogs and slaves!"
He actually started swearing.
As a fellow servant, Chen Duo found it difficult to tell whether he was speaking up for King Xiaoyao or taking the opportunity to insult himself and others.
But Chen Duo didn't care about this, and solemnly bowed and promised: "Yes!
"I will definitely follow the rules and not wrongly accuse anyone! But I will never allow those people to forget their identities and lose sight of their own worth!"
The two people were talking to each other in a veiled way, and the other three people standing around were not fools and heard everything clearly.
They looked at each other and subconsciously moved away from the two people.
Jing Lian took the initiative to bow to King Xiaoyao and said, "Inner Temple Inspector Jing Lian greets His Majesty."
Chun He also hurriedly followed suit and saluted: "Inner Temple Inspector Chun He greets His Majesty."
King Xiaoyao nodded gently: "Yes. Thank you for your hard work."
Apart from these two, Chen Duo naturally could not go alone, so after leaving the palace, King Xiaoyao and King Shen saw a team of imperial guards.
"That's fine. No slave can resist." Prince Shen subconsciously turned sideways, then patted Prince Xiaoyao on the shoulder, "Then my nineteenth brother, take them back to the palace.
"I have a date with someone for drinks, so I'm leaving now."
He waved his hand, got on the carriage and left.
King Xiaoyao then looked at Chen Duo, and said with caution: "Uncle Chen Si, check carefully this time.
"My wet nurse has been in charge of the affairs of my house for many years, and I listen to her in everything.
"If I hid something for her and it came back to bite me, I wouldn't be able to explain myself.
"It would be best if you could take everything away today. Even if I am left with only the bed, table and chairs, I will be happy as long as my innocence is restored!"
Chen Duo's heart softened when he saw this. He smiled respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will investigate everything carefully and give Your Majesty a clean palace!"
King Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly in gratitude: "Yes, yes! That's what I mean!"
Sighing in their hearts, everyone arrived at Xiaoyao Palace.
But as soon as they entered the second gate of the mansion, under the personal guidance of King Xiaoyao, they walked to the small courtyard where the wet nurse lived, and saw two maids crawling out with pale faces:
"Mammy, Mammy, she, she jumped into the well..."
The expressions of King Xiaoyao and Chen Duo both changed!
Chen Duo glared at Jing Lian first. Seeing this, Jing Lian strode straight to the back!
Chunhe rushed forward, grabbed the maid who had spoken, and asked hurriedly:
"Before we came, did anyone come to see Mammy? Or, did anyone come to give Mammy a message?!"
"Yes, there was a little beggar who asked someone to tell the nanny that her family urged her not to covet the wealth of the capital and to go back home early..."
Chunhe left her behind, turned around and ran out the door!
Chen Duo glanced at his back with satisfaction and told the two maids, "Take me to Madam's room."
He turned to look at the imperial guards, then at King Xiaoyao: "Your Majesty, can we start arresting people?"
"Yes, yes!" King Xiaoyao was dumbfounded at this time. He was completely frozen and stood there unable to move.
Chen Duo frowned and looked at the two maids inquiringly:
“Your prince is young, and he must have heard the dead man’s legs go limp, so why didn’t any of you go over to help him?
"Is this how you become slaves?!"
The two maids were stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked at each other and burst into tears at the same time!
King Xiaoyao finally recovered after a long while, and waved his shaking hands: "Don't blame them, don't blame them...
"Mammy said that I am still young, and for the sake of my health, my essence must not be ejaculated prematurely, so any maid in the mansion who dares to seduce me will be beaten to death...
"Just because I'm not feeling well, even the maids who accidentally helped me are all gone...
"They were both frightened..."
Chen Duo was stunned. After a long while, he subconsciously asked:
"I heard that the prince is very picky about food. He often refuses to eat out of anger because he made mistakes when he was out..."
The maid kneeling on the ground sobbed and said, "That was all the punishment from the nanny. The prince was not allowed to eat...
"Mammy also punished the prince to copy a room full of books...
"Your Highness' arms, wrists, finger joints, waist, and legs are all injured from sitting for too long and exerting too much strength..."
Chen Duo's face turned pale, he couldn't help but cursed like King Shen, gritting his teeth: "You naughty slave!
"It's too easy for her to commit suicide by jumping into a well! She should be cut into pieces!"
As he was cursing, Jing Lian's voice came from inside: "Okay, he's saved~!"
Chen Duo was cheered up!
King Xiaoyao's face turned pale again...
