Chapter 778 A Man of a Cruel Heart and Malicious ans
Since Mada Jingrou was born in the Xin Family, she had been trained as the chosen witch and grown into a noble lady.
For this reason, compared with ordinary won, she not only was infinitely tender, but also had a calm and impartial attitude towards state affairs.
Perhaps won like the Empress and Mada Hui only focused on the imperial harem and coveted the throne for selfish reasons.
But Mada Jingrou was more concerned about helping the Emperor choose a compassionate and decisive successor rather than helping her son inherit the throne.
Lin ngya suddenly realized why Mada Jingrou and the Emperor had been a devoted couple in the past more than 20 years.
With such an understanding wife, the Emperor could definitely accomplish sothing significant.
She did not have a thorough understanding of sothing as Mada Jingrou did.
“Mada, I’m flattered. Xiaoyu is a benign kid. You seem to be implying that the Eldest Prince has done sothing terrible?” Lin ngya asked tentatively.
In fact, she could tell at a glance that the Eldest Prince was difficult to deal with.
But only Mada Jingrou and the Emperor knew how difficult it was to deal with him.
As she expected, although Wanyan Jing was the son of the Empress, Mada Jingrou had doted on him sincerely.
Mada Jingrou frowned slightly and said with a trace of worry in her eyes, “Five years ago, he followed His Majesty to hunt. His Majesty targeted a white deer, but he discovered it had given birth to a baby before he chased it. His Majesty intended to let the white deer go, but that night, Jing’er offered him a roasted fawn and cut off the head of the white deer as the prize. Since then, His Majesty paid attention to Jing’er’s actions in all respects and found that he was extrely cruel and rciless and definitely not a person of goodwill.”
Perhaps the Eldest Prince did not consider hunting a big deal.
However, one could recognize the whole through observation of the part. The Emperor couldn’t bear to hurt the poor white deer and its baby, but Wanyan Jing slaughtered them ruthlessly. It could be seen that he was far more vicious than common people.
Coincidentally, the palace maid Lin ngya sent to check on how the Eldest Prince dealt with Beauty Jin ca to report at this mont. Lin ngya asked her to co in, only to see that she seed to have been so terribly frightened that she was trembling slightly.
“What happened? Why are you so terribly scared?” Closing the door of the chamber, Lin ngya asked.
She had a hunch that sothing serious must have happened.
The palace maid looked as pale as a sheet, trembled like a wreck and said fearfully, “Ma… Mada, His Highness instructed his n to cut off Beauty Jin’s tongue, scoop out her eyes, throw them into the oil pot, and then feed them to her. I… I’m so…”
She was shivering. She had just seen it secretly, but she was terribly scared.
It could be seen what a cruel punishnt Beauty Jin had received.
“What?” Mada Jingrou exclaid.
Learning this news, not only Lin ngya, but also Mada Jingrou was panic-stricken.
In any case, Beauty Jin was his father’s concubine. How… how could he deal with her like that?
This news sent a chill down their spines.
Lin ngya personally walked the trembling palace maid back, told her to take three days off, and asked soone to decoct a sedative for her, and then returned to the chamber.
As soon as she entered the chamber, she, whose keen nose was irritated by the soothing scent of sandalwood, felt a little uncomfortable.
Ningqiu, who was holding an incense box in the chamber, was also confused.
After exchanging looks with Lin ngya, Ningqiu gave her a helpless wink.
In the past, Mada Jingrou didn’t like this kind of incense that was too strong, but Ningqiu had no idea what was going on today. If she hadn’t co in to have a look, this box of incense would have been thrown into the censer by Mada Jingrou.
Mada Jingrou sat in the chair, lost in thought. Fortunately, she returned to normal in a short ti.
Nevertheless, her hands clenched inadvertently gave away the emotions she hid at the bottom of her heart.
Lin ngya could understand Mada Jingrou’s feelings at this mont. Wanyan Jing had once been chosen by her and the Emperor to be the successor of the throne, so she inevitably had spent a lot of care on educating Wanyan Jing.
Unexpectedly, he turned out like this.
Lin ngya shook her head in her heart, thinking soone like him was born to be cruel and could not be changed through education.
“Mada… what do you think we should do with Beauty Jin?” Lin ngya asked.
Although Beauty Jin’s eyes had been scooped out and her tongue had been cut off, she was still alive.
Nevertheless, she would live miserably for the rest of her life after being treated properly.
If she had to suffer for the rest of her life, it would be better to…
All of a sudden, Lin ngya was astonished at her ruthlessness. Back then, she even tried all she could to treat the lady whose internal organs had been exposed.
Since when did she beco a person who judged soone else’s life and death arbitrarily?
Could it be that her long-term experience in crises had gradually turned her into a cold-hearted person?
She had a mont of panic, fearing that one day she would treat human lives like dirt as the Eldest Prince did.
Subconsciously, she grasped the sachet containing the relic of Master Yunfang, not sure if it was her illusion that a trace of warmth seed to be spread from her palms to the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps she would never sink into eternal darkness.
“I’m afraid that she can’t continue staying in the imperial palace. I’ll report it to His Majesty and ask to send her out of the imperial palace and find a place for her to spend her remaining years. Given that Yu’er is going to enter the imperial palace, you may stay here and wait for him. Jing’er has gone too far this ti,” Mada Jingrou said.
In any case, she must protect Beauty Jin from getting killed.
Once the ruthless Empress recovered, she would probably kill Beauty Jin, who had once been her ally, for the sake of her son’s reputation.
Mada Jingrou could save Beauty Jin by sending her out of the imperial palace right away, as the Empress and the Eldest Prince were presumably experienced in murdering people to keep their mouths shut.
Lin ngya should inform Xiaoyu about this.
In fact, the reason why Wanyan Jing dealt with Beauty Jin in this way was not only to project himself as a strict and impartial man, but more importantly, to send a signal that he was now in charge of the imperial palace!
If that was the case, the Eldest Prince probably was ready to usurp the throne at any ti.
It seed that she must find out what trump card in his hands was!
A series of incidents had happened in the imperial palace. The priests were still unable to cure the Empress, and the Eldest Prince punished Beauty Jin ruthlessly. At present, everyone in the imperial palace felt insecure.
Checking the ti, she estimated that the Empress, who was poisoned by her, would gradually recover.
Moreover, the Empress would feel extrely thirsty. As long as she drank three bowls of water, most of the poison in her body would be removed.
The Emperor had consented to the plan to hunt down the priests. In less than five days, the tribes would plunge into chaos.
Everything had been arranged, and now Lin ngya just needed to protect Mada Jingrou and Xiaoyu in the imperial palace.
But the arrival of the Eldest Prince made her, who had felt relieved, filled with anxiety again.
In particular, after learning his ruthless ans, Lin ngya beca afraid of him to a certain extent.
Everyone in the imperial palace, including the mbers of the Fengyu Court, was overwheld by these things.
The Linqiu Pavilion almost beca a forbidden area in the imperial palace. No one was willing to set foot there unless they had extrely important business.
As soon as Xiaoyu moved into the courtyard, he took out what he collected for his sister one by one, put them on the table so that she could have a look at them, and said, “Look, these are knickknacks I bring you from outside and plenty of recreational books you liked. Do you like them, sister?”
“Yes, I like them all. Put them away, lest others see them and gossip about us again,” Lin ngya said.
In fact, she was delighted that Xiaoyu could co.
But she had been haunted by what the Eldest Prince had done.
Even Mada Jingrou took pains to send Beauty Jin out of the imperial palace. However, she could only worry about this in the Fengyu Court and could do nothing to help.
It was only at this mont that Lin ngya realized how insignificant and helpless she was after losing all support.
“Did Wanyan Jing upset you?” Xiaoyu asked.
He, who had just entered the imperial palace, only knew a little about what had happened to Beauty Jin because the Emperor and Mada Jingrou deliberately prevented the news from spreading.
He didn’t know the details, but only knew that Wanyan Jing punished a lady, who offended Mada Jingrou, without permission.
To be honest, he didn’t have a favorable impression of Beauty Jin, so he was glad to learn that she was punished.
Nevertheless, hearing that his mother and sister had t Wanyan Jing, he thought they were upset by Wanyan Jing.
“No, but I want to tell you to be careful of Wanyan Jing. He’s not a person of goodwill,” Lin ngya said.
She was unwilling to tell Xiaoyu about the bloody thing. Although she was aware that Xiaoyu was no longer that simple youngster, she still wanted to try her best to conserve the precious soft spot in his heart.
Wanyan Yu nodded obediently. He considered no one more important than his sister.
Therefore, no matter if she asked him to be careful of Wanyan Jing or do anything else, he would do as she asked.
“Let see what exactly you bring ,” Lin ngya said.
She, whose ears were sharper than those of common people, seed to be aware of so footsteps outside.
She imdiately changed her attitude and put on a carefree look.
However, Wanyan Yu grabbed her hand and looked at her hesitantly.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so troubled?” Lin ngya reached out to touch Xiaoyu’s hair and asked.
He rarely showed such a troubled look in front of her.
Xiaoyu tried to dodge her eyes, but after deliberating for a long while, he cautiously looked into her eyes and said, “Soone… wants to et you. I know you may be unwilling to et her, but she has knelt to for three days. I have no other choice but to bring her to et you. But if you don’t want to et her, I will make her disappear right now, and she won’t appear in front of you for the rest of her life. Sister, what do you think?”
