Chapter 143 All sentenced to death
Chu Ci followed the direction of the two little servants' gazes and found that the person in their eyes was Rong Xue.
Chu Ci looked at Rong Xue with suspicion. Rong Xue saw Chu Ci's sharp eyes and looked towards the main seat in panic. The look of seeking help made Chu Ci understand that the person behind this was probably not simple.
Chu Ci looked at Princess Jingle meaningfully with a faint smile.
Cang Mo slowly tightened his hands, and the two servants' faces slowly began to turn purple. No one dared to speak. The emperor and the queen sat in the main seat and kept drinking water. Chu Ci even wondered what would happen if the emperor and the queen drank too much and wanted to go to the toilet.
The two servants continued to struggle, and when they were about to die, one of them finally spoke, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
This servant chose to speak, and the other servant quickly followed suit, "No, I'll say it too, I know everything."
Cang Mo threw the two people to the ground, "This is your last chance. If you say even one false word, there will be no meaning for you to live."
The two servants collapsed on the ground, covering their necks and gasping for breath.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it was the eldest lady of the Qiao family. It was the eldest lady of the Qiao family who asked us to read faster and directly let Miss Chu read."
When the servant said this, Prince Rui shot him a look and quickly changed his words, "It's to make sure Princess Rui can't keep up with our speed. If she miscalculates, she won't be able to enter Qingsong Academy."
Prince Rui looked at the other servant boy, who nodded continuously, "Yes, he is right. It was Miss Rong who came to us and threatened us."
Prince Rui stepped forward and stepped on their legs. "Tell me what I am threatening you with."
The two servants lowered their heads. After a long while, just when Prince Rui was about to kill him, one of the servants suddenly raised his head and said, "It's a hairpin."
The servant took out a hairpin from his bosom and said, "This is it."
Rong Xue's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at the little servant in disbelief. She said that she couldn't find the hairpin when she went back, but she didn't expect that he had picked it up.
"Whose hairpin is this?" Cang Mo's voice was gloomy, and the two little servants were trembling with fear.
They didn't dare to say it, as that was no longer an area they dared to touch. The royal symbol on it alone was enough for them to not ask about.
When Cang Mo saw them like this, he knew that the person behind them was not ordinary, so he stopped making things difficult for them. Even if he continued, they didn't dare to say it out loud, as it would be a pure waste of time.
Prince Rui looked at Rong Xue who was still standing aside, and stepped on the little servant's leg with force. There was a crackling sound, followed by the sound of broken bones and screams.
Prince Rui no longer paid attention to them, but instead focused his attention on Rong Xue. "Should I help you, or should you take the initiative?"
Qiao Xue's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Princess Jingle pleadingly, tears streaming down her face, hoping that Princess Jingle could save her once.
But when Princess Jingle saw her like this, she turned her head away, as if it had nothing to do with her.
Rong Xue slumped on the ground, and Rong Ziyu beside her tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Didn't you hear what the prince said? Tell me quickly, whose hairpin is that?"
It's obvious that this hairpin was made in the imperial palace. As long as Rong Xue tells the story behind it, there will be no trouble for their Duke's Mansion.
However, even though Rong Ziyu tried to persuade her for a long time, Rong Xue remained silent.
Cang Mo snorted coldly, "Actually, you don't have to ask. This is obviously the work of the palace. As long as I want to investigate, there is nothing I can't find out."
Cang Mo kicked Rong Xue directly, and Rong Xue hit the table, which broke into two halves. Rong Xue lost her voice instantly and curled up like a cooked shrimp.
"Wait a moment." Princess Jingle stood up from the Queen's side, squinting her eyes. "Brother Rui, wait a moment. Why does the golden hairpin in your hand look like the one I lost some time ago?"
After Princess Jingle finished speaking, Rong Xue's body on the ground shook for a moment, and then she became motionless again. If someone with poor eyesight didn't notice it, she wouldn't be able to notice it. Unfortunately, Cang Mo happened to see this scene.
Chu Ci was standing aside and saw it clearly. She looked at Princess Jingle, wondering what role Princess Jingle played in this matter.
Princess Jingle walked down and took the golden hairpin from Prince Rui's hand. She examined it carefully in front of everyone before she spoke slowly, "This is indeed my golden hairpin that I lost a long time ago, but how did it end up with her?"
Prince Rui looked at Princess Jingle suspiciously, "Is this golden hairpin yours?"
Princess Jingle waved her hands repeatedly and explained to the Emperor and the Empress, "It's not Brother Rui. No, this is mine. I lost this golden hairpin a long time ago. I also reported it to Mother. The palace has records of it."
Cang Mo looked at the Queen who was sitting in the main seat. Chu Cilai, the head maid, stood beside the Queen and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, the princess did report it. I wrote it down myself."
Cang Mo glanced at Princess Jingle coldly. He didn't believe that she had no presence here at all. There were no coincidences in the royal family.
It seems that his sister's hands are too long, and his brother wants to fix them for her.
Cang Mo pulled Chu Ci to his side, his lips curled up slightly. His smile, which should have been full of joy, was actually full of threats. "Mother, Jingle was followed by so many people, and you couldn't even keep a golden hairpin under your care. How come you didn't even know when Rong Xue got it? I want you to take them all out and execute them."
Chu Ci looked at Cang Mo with wide eyes. She knew that it was impossible to move Princess Jingle on this matter. After all, there was no solid evidence, and she had no intention of taking any action.
But she didn't expect Cang Mo to use all his ability to vent her anger. Since Princess Jingle herself could not be moved, no one around her could be left alive.
Cang Mo stared at the Queen and the Emperor. Both of them had seen and suffered losses before, and they knew very well that the devil here was Princess Jingle's doing. Facing their own son, they could only nod.
The Queen agreed to this matter, "Okay, I'll do it when Mother returns to the palace."
Princess Jingle didn't dare to do that anymore. She coquettishly shook the Queen's arm and said, "Mother, they are all my people. How can you kill them all? Then who will serve me?"
"Enough!" The emperor shouted angrily. Jingle didn't dare to say a word. She just pouted and kept silent.
Cang Mo snorted coldly, "Mother, this matter is full of blood and gore. You'd better not get involved. Leave it to me."
"Wait a minute, I have something to say." Chu Ci suddenly stood up.
