Chapter 120 Madman's Nest

After Ye Jinshu said this, she suddenly felt as if she had done the same thing before. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she seemed to have done the same thing when she went to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble.

Seeing Ye Jinshu looking at Qi Jiaojiao in front of him in deep thought, Qi Ningyu thought that something else had upset Ye Jinshu, so she asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jinshu suddenly said, "I suddenly realized that I seem to like slapping people."

Jiang Sisi was working diligently as a maid, but when she heard this she couldn't help but want to laugh and could only turn her head away.

Qi Ningyu replied seriously: "The princess is too kind. Many punishments are much more severe than a slap."

Ye Jinshu thought about it and realized that this was true.

"That's true. I've seen a queen in the palace use those extremely tiny needles to prick palace maids. On weekdays, you can't see any external injuries, but it hurts a lot when you move. Once the needle gets into the flesh, it's not easy to even find it out."

Qi Jiaojiao, who was originally being slapped, was full of dissatisfaction. However, when she heard Ye Jinshu describe this torturous punishment in a light-hearted manner, she suddenly felt that being slapped was not a bad idea.

Qi Jiaojiao suppressed the expression on her face, praying that her father would bring people to find her quickly, and hoping that Ye Jinshu would not torture her with such a horrible punishment.

But the conversation over there continues.

Qi Ningyu replied with interest: "There is actually such a method."

Seeing Qi Ningyu's interest in this kind of thing, Ye Jinshu couldn't help but say a little more: "There are quite a lot of punishments in the palace. There is a method called dripping punishment. The person is fixed on the bed, and a container of water is hung above the person. The water drips on the person's head. Although you won't feel anything at first, but dripping water wears away a stone. Within half a month, the skin will be softened, and it will start to rot after another month. After a year, the person will almost die."

"It seems to be even scarier than what is written in the book."

"Why do you read that kind of book?"

"I saw it in my father's study. I don't know why he would read that kind of book."

Jiang Sisi was originally listening quietly, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Qi Ningyu's father would not do such a thing for no reason. The only question is who he wants to use these books on.

Jiang Sisi had an idea, but she didn't dare tell Qi Ningyu.

At the beginning, Qi Ningyu's father was just an ordinary minor official. It was with the help of Qi Ningyu's mother that he was able to be appreciated and climb to his current position.

It is not uncommon to abandon a person after he has done his job, not to mention that the concubine of the Qi family, who is favored by the emperor, has no respect for elders. It seems that Mr. Qi already has a better candidate for the mistress in his mind.

"Since he has read it, he must want to use it. What a bad old man. For a civil servant to read this kind of thing must have ulterior motives. I will report him to the emperor uncle."

Jiang Sisi was still thinking about how to tell Qi Ningyu the truth without hurting her when she heard Ye Jinshu rushing up.

Not only does he curse someone else's father, he also wants to sue him.

Qi Ningyu did not show any displeasure, as if she no longer had any obsessions with certain things when Qi Jiaojiao appeared: "I'll go help the princess put away the books."

"Okay."

At this time, Qi Jiaojiao really began to get scared. When her father asked her to cause trouble for Princess Anping in the beginning, he clearly said that this was just a princess who was easy to control and would listen obediently as long as the prince was mentioned.

She just needed to pay attention to the movements around her and pretend to be bullied when her father brought people over.

But now that she was caught here by Ye Jinshu, Qi Ningyu no longer looked as easy to bully as usual. She seemed to have fallen into a den of madmen.

She wanted to beg for mercy, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't. Why didn't her father come to save her?

After 30 slaps, even though her maids lightened the force overtly or covertly, Qi Jiaojiao was still hurt.

During the beating, Qi Jiaojiao kept hinting to her maid to beat her slower, fearing that she would be pricked with a needle if she was beaten too quickly. However, her maid, who was as stupid as a pig, did not understand what she meant at all and beat her faster and faster.

After Ye Jinshu finished chatting with Qi Ningyu, he found that the slapping was also over. Thinking that he had not yet asked about his main business, he let Xiao Cui take the thing out of Qi Jiaojiao's mouth.

"Who instructed you to do this today?"

Qi Jiaojiao was really frightened. She was just a concubine's daughter who showed off her power and never thought that she would suffer such a crime. However, she did not dare to betray her father, otherwise not only she but also her mother would have no good life in the mansion in the future.

After thinking for a while, Qi Jiaojiao turned her eyes and replied, "It's a big shot that the Qi family would never dare to offend!"

"How big is it?"

"I dare not say, I really dare not say, please let me go, Princess. I am just being used." Qi Jiaojiao thought her acting skills were moving, but she didn't know that her so-called "false" information made Jiang Sisi's brain work like crazy, and finally she got the correct answer by accident.

The emperor wanted Ye Ruoyan to be his daughter-in-law, so he prepared to let public opinion overwhelm Ye Jinshu, spreading rumors that Ye Jinshu did not have the qualities to be a crown princess, so that Ye Ruoyan could naturally take her place.

If you think in this way, it makes sense why the Qi family would put on such a show.

Although Qi Jiaojiao usually acted domineeringly in the Qi Mansion and occasionally bullied Qi Ningyu, she always observed the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children outside of the family and never brought discredit to the Qi family.

Qi Jiaojiao's mother is a smart person, so Qi Jiaojiao naturally learns from her and knows where to cross the line.

But Qi Jiaojiao's behavior today was very strange. She was clearly just a concubine's daughter, yet she dared to ridicule the princess who had not yet fallen out of favor. She didn't even do it secretly, but in front of Qi Ningyu who was good friends with Ye Jinshu. No matter how you looked at it, she was too bold.

Unless someone backs her up.

It goes without saying who is the person in the Qi family who can support Qi Jiaojiao.

The only person who could give the Qi family such courage and motivation was the one on the throne.

This is, the king wants his subject to die.

Jiang Sisi decided to write a letter to Ji Yanqing after the end of the day, asking him to come over quickly.

Otherwise, in Ye Jinshu's current situation, it is unknown how long he can remain safe and sound.

I just hope Ye Ruoyan can be a little more obedient during this period and not make any more achievements, otherwise that person will only become more anxious.

Now, the Queen can still protect Ye Jinshu a little.

Jiang Sisi was thinking while paying attention to the movements outside. When she saw someone coming, she quickly walked to Ye Jinshu and reminded him, "Princess, let the person go now. Don't talk later, just cry."

Ye Jinshu was full of questions. How could she cry like that?

Although the brain doesn't understand, the body has already taken action.

Ye Jinshu asked Xiao Cui to help Qi Ningyu up and tidied her clothes. She was just about to hold back her tears when suddenly Jiang Sisi took out something and shook it in front of her eyes, and tears burst out.

Jiang Sisi immediately changed her tone upon seeing this, and said in Xiao Cui's usual passionate tone: "Ye Ruoyan hasn't even become the Crown Princess yet, and you dare to humiliate the princess like this? Is this the Qi family's way of entertaining guests?"
