C337 Let Her Run Her Own Course

Yun Xi's courtyard seemed very quiet, even though the rumors and rumors in the Imperial Residence were everywhere.

That afternoon, three sisters who were good friends with the deceased came to ask Yun Xi for an explanation.

Counting the number, there were actually more than a dozen people. If one were to say that a person like the Imperial Residence did not have any orders and gathered together, there was someone who was in charge.

However, no one asked about it all the way to Yun Xi's courtyard. It could be imagined that Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing had tacitly agreed to it. They turned a blind eye to it.

A dozen or so people came to Yun Xi's courtyard. They directly pulled Huatine out.

Yun Xi only looked coldly at them in the dark at the door. They did not dare to really touch Yun Xi. All of their anger was directed at Huatine.

Even servant girl who was in Yun Xi's courtyard came to watch the show. She stood at the corridor and watched while whispering.

More than ten people surrounded Huatine in the middle and scolded her while punching and kicking her.

"You murderer! Do you think we don't know it was you because we didn't leave any evidence behind? "

" You look at Gong Shun, and you're actually so vicious in your bones! "

"Does she really think that the King Chu's Mansion is still the Yunmeng Country, and she can let her do whatever she wants? "

"Beat her up! It's also a form of comfort for the dark souls!"

After a few short sentences, a dozen or so people all punched and kicked Huatine.

After all, she was still a woman and her attacks were not as fierce as a man's. After fighting for a long time, Huatine's life was not in danger. It was just that she did not release much Qi.

"Let's lock her up in the woodshed. Let her run her own course. "

" Alright! But what do we say about the Princess? I'm just afraid that she will blame us."

"Ms Lingyue was so frightened that the Princess will not forgive this poisonous woman. Since we were able to come here and hit her, the Princess will most likely know that she is unwilling to interfere."

"You are right. Then we'll send her to the woodshed and starve her to death!"

The group of people, one sentence after another, sentenced Huatine to death.

" What are you doing? " Lingyue lifted her skirt and crossed the threshold. She was now on the stone steps.

The dozen or so servant girl were a little frightened and turned around. They looked down at Lingyue and called out, "Ms Lingyue."

Lingyue walked down and the dozen or so of them made way for her.

Huatine was lying in the middle and there was blood coming out of her nose and mouth. The skin on her body could be seen to be bruised and her eyes were also swollen.

"Who asked you to use private punishment!? This matter has yet to be investigated, yet you are already doing this. Aren't you trying to help the Imperial Residence investigate the matter? " Lingyue suddenly became angry and started to criticize servant girl.

Servant girl, who was beating people up, knelt down and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Lingyue faced Yun Xi who was looking coldly at the door and bowed, "This servant greets Lateral Consort Yun. I wonder if Lateral Consort Yun was scared?"

Yun Xi's face was indifferent and her eyebrows did not move at all.

"You guys have disturbed Lateral Consort Yun, why are you not apologizing!" Lingyue took out her dignity and looked at servant girl who was kneeling on the ground.

Although the crowd of servant girl was unwilling, they still apologized to Yun Xi.

"Lateral Consort Yun is magnanimous and magnanimous. She will not blame these little girls, right?" Lingyue smiled gently and asked.

Yun Xi turned around and returned to the room and did not pay attention to Lingyue. Lingyue was asking. If she blamed servant girl, she would instead end up with a malicious reputation. She did not intend to protect Huatine in the first place. Something like this had happened in the Imperial Residence. Mu Ruqing suspected Huatine. It was best not to suspect her.

Therefore, even if Huatine died, she could not interfere.

"Miss Huatine unfortunately fell and fell. Quickly take her down and 'take care' of her." Lingyue looked at Huatine who was on the ground and had the thrill of revenge.

Those servant girl were originally curious but when they saw Lingyue's expression and tone, they knew what to do. All of them laughed coldly and replied, "Yes."

"All of you can leave now." Lingyue was not even willing to touch Huatine's clothes.

After Lingyue left, a few servant girl carried Huatine to the woodshed.

Mu Ruqing saw Lingyue coming back and handed her a cup of tea, "How is it?"

"We will not live to see tonight." Lingyue took the tea and drank it.

Yu Longchen was standing next to her. He felt scared when he thought about it. If Mu Ruqing was scared, she would have... Now, he stood by her side and did not dare to leave.

"Then I will help her." Mu Ruqing's face was like a ghost as she thought about the scene last night. Her eyes turned red.

"Why did your eyes turn red?" Yu Longchen forgot everything about Mu Ruqing in the past. All his memories were there, but there was no trace of Mu Ruqing.

Mu Ruqing smiled but did not say anything. She leaned her head in front of Yu Longchen and let out a breath. "Because I climbed up from hell..."

Yu Longchen's face turned cold. He calmed down for a second.

"I almost forgot. Go and ask. See if you can find out who is behind this." Mu Ruqing saw Yu Longchen's stunned look and retreated. She looked at Lingyue for a while. She said again, "Forget it. She will not say it."

Lingyue lowered her head and did not move. She originally did not need to go to Yun Xi's yard just now.

But now that Yun Xi had someone secretly helping her, there must be a lot of spies in the Imperial Residence.

If Mu Ruqing allowed those servant girl to beat them to death and spread the news, Mu Ruqing would become the one who took their lives without any evidence.

"Huatine cannot die in the Imperial Residence." Yu Longchen looked at Mu Ruqing and lightly parted his thin lips.

"Why?!" This was Lingyue's question. She had already confirmed that it was Huatine who killed him. Huatine should use her life to pay for it.

"Lingyue, quickly go and ask a doctor to treat her injuries. She really cannot die in the Imperial Residence." Mu Ruqing knew what Yu Longchen meant. It was because she was overwhelmed by anger.

"Huatine was originally a Yun Meng person and did not have a contract to sell her body to the Imperial Residence. Therefore, she could not use a private punishment on her. Furthermore, the death of three servant girl was terrifying. A total of three lives, we need to report it to the Imperial Court's Yin to deal with it. " Yu Longchen drank a cup of tea and slowly spoke.

Lingyue slowly came to a realization and jogged out.

"Don't report the case today. We will go again tomorrow. And don't let any rumors spread." Mu Ruqing naturally would not let Huatine die so easily. If she did not torture her properly, it would not be enough to vent her anger.

" Yes. " Lingyue answered Mu Ruqing as she walked.

"Reporting to the Royal Highness and Princess." Lingyue went out and another servant girl came in, "Consort Long's personal maid Chunrong requests an audience."

"En?" Mu Ruqing and Yu Longchen looked at each other.

"Please come in." Yu Longchen agreed.

"Yes." servant girl withdrew and soon brought Chunrong in.

Chunrong held the invitation card in her hand and bowed to the two of them, "This servant greets the Royal Highness and Princess."

"Rise." In terms of familiarity, Yu Longchen naturally had more than Mu Ruqing. It would be better for him to ask.

"The princess's complexion is ruddy and full of energy. Just by looking at her, I can tell that the princess is blessed, so she must be the young prince." Chunrong looked at Mu Ruqing and smiled happily as she tried to please Mu Ruqing.

"Thank you, Older Sister Chunrong, for your auspicious words." Mu Ruqing was considered to be giving way. A wangfei called her Big Sister and Chunrong admitted that she was attached to Consort Long.

"Your Ladyship has been very vexed recently and thus arranged a small banquet to invite the wangfei to the banquet." Chunrong said as she bent down and lowered her head to present the invitation.

Servant girl gave the invitation to Mu Ruqing. It was tomorrow's banquet and it was in Consort Long's palace.

"Your Ladyship's hospitality should not have been rejected. It is just that the month is getting bigger and it is inconvenient for my body and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to come and go." Mu Ruqing put down the invitation and tactfully refused.

"What the Princess said, Your Ladyship already thought of it. I especially beg the Emperor to let the palace carriage pick up the Princess tomorrow." Chunrong smiled to the officials.

As such, she could not reject it.
