Chapter 250 Conspiracy Theory Empress
Empress Chiang turned towards the voice and saw Xiao Jiuyuan’s gloomy face giving out orders.
Imdiately after hearing the orders, Bai Yao waved his hand and two of his n stepped forward to pull Hua i out with lightning speed.
Hua i felt completely relieved after hearing Xiao Jiuyuan’s orders. She had thought that she would be killed for sure, but now she would only get paddle strikes.
Yun Qianyu initially wanted to stop Xiao Jiuyuan, but quickly stopped.
For breaking a gift from the emperor, Hua i should have been beheaded. Compared to that, the twenty paddle strikes she was now receiving was nothing.
Just as Yun Qianyu was thinking about this, the empress asked in a flat tone, “Ninth imperial brother, what is the aning of this?”
Xiao Jiuyuan turned to the empress and naturally knew the aning of her words.
Why only twenty paddle strikes and not the death sentence? This was a gift from the emperor and was even a gift for her mother.
‘That lowly servant should be killed for this!’
Accordingly, as her master, Yun Qianyu, should also die. However, because she had the title of Li princess consort, the empress couldn’t do anything to her.
The more the empress thought about it, the angrier she got. Filled with killing intent, the empress looked at Xiao Jiuyuan.
Xiao Jiuyuan did not look pleased either. He too beca annoyed when he heard the empress question his decision.
With a gloomy look on his face, he replied in a flat tone, “Does the empress think that I am too cruel? I have always known you to be very kind and charitable. However, that lowly servant must be punished for what she did. She should have died. If it wasn’t old madam Chiang’s birthday today then I would have killed that lowly servant today. ”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s words annoyed the empress even more.
Originally, no one would even question it if she did sentence Hua i to death. However, now that Xiao Jiuyuan had said that, if she sentenced Hua i to death then she would beco a cruel person and, even worse, a cruel empress.
After listening to Xiao Jiuyuan’s words, old madam Chiang was deeply disturbed. At the sa ti, she was also worried. After all, today was her birthday. If soone was killed today, maybe it would affect her later on.
Old people sotis were very afraid of death. Thus before the empress could say anything, old madam Chiang said, “Jiuyuan is just being thoughtful, let’s just forget about this matter.”
Since the old madam had said that, the empress could not say anything more. Even though she was extrely angry about the broken jade statue, she couldn’t do anything else about it.
Feeling pissed, the empress glared at Yun Qianyu. ‘Did this woman do this intentionally? Is she provoking with Xiao Jiuyuan’s protection? Or was it Xiao Jiuyuan’s idea?’
Conspiracy theories filled the empress’s mind.
Yun Qianyu naturally saw the look on the empress’s face and couldn’t help but think, ‘Like mother like son, they both are pieces of trash.’
However, Yun Qianyu couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them anymore. Right now, she could only feel relief that Hua i was in Bai Yao’s hand.
Even if Bai Yao got soone else to perform the punishnt, Hua i would still be fine.
Xiao Jiuyuan had now saved Hua i’s life.
Yun Qianyu turned around and was about to say thanks to Xiao Jiuyuan. However, a few people ca in quickly from outside the hall, headed by the eunuchs sent out by the empress.
