Chapter 267 Exploded
Qin Liuse was supported by Qingqing Zijin on both sides and returned to the main hall.
Seeing Caixia kneeling in the main hall, he was a little surprised.
"How could it be you?"
Not long ago, she promoted Si Xia to the second-class maid in the house. Unexpectedly, she was betrayed in the blink of an eye. Qin Liuse didn't feel so good about it.
In order to prevent Caixia from screaming at the top of her lungs, Xiao Fuzi stuffed a cotton handkerchief into her mouth and tied her hands up in the room after catching her.
Now that Qin Liuse was back, she pulled the cloth out of her mouth.
"Replying to Empress Zhaoyi, when you left just now, Xiao Baozi and I pretended to go out as well. We waited at the corner outside, but we didn't expect that not long after, Caixia ran out like a thief."
"I followed her to the Shang Public Security Bureau, and only then did I know that this traitor had actually gone to tell tales."
Just now, they met those eunuchs at the gate of the cold palace, so Qin Liuse knew what Caixia was going to do, but she didn't understand why she wanted to betray herself.
Qin Liuse walked to the edge of the couch and sat down. She looked up at Caixia who was kneeling below her and asked her, "Whose instructions are you following? Who are you doing this for?"
Now that she thought about it, that person had sent Caixia to her Zhaoyang Palace just to wait for her to climb up the ladder and become a second-class maid. The more power she had, the more she knew, and the better she would be able to do things.
But I didn't expect that he would be caught by Qin Liuse, which was a loss of a great general.
After alerting the enemy like this, they will only be more cautious in their actions.
Caixia knelt down with tears in her eyes and said nothing.
Qin Liuse asked, "Well, since you don't want to talk, I will let your people beat you with thirty sticks first, and then expel you from the palace."
Caixia shook her head and cried bitterly, begging Qin Liuse for mercy, "Please, Zhaoyi, don't kick me out of the palace, don't kick me out!"
Qin Liuse picked up a cup of tea, opened the lid, scraped the edge of the cup, and said with a smile, "What's the point of keeping you in front of me, a traitor like you? If I don't want to expel you from the palace, why not hand you over to the Ministry of Punishment, or give you a bottle of poison and let you end your life by yourself?"
Caixia didn't want to die at all. She kowtowed hard in front of Qin Liuse, "Zhaoyi! I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I beg Zhaoyi to let me atone for my sins. Zhaoyi, please spare my life!"
"Oh? Then tell me, how are you going to atone for your sins? Who sent you here? And who told you to do this?"
"A few days ago, you sent a message to your master, telling him that I no longer like sweets or sesame seeds."
To be honest, Qin Liuse still admires the mastermind behind the scenes. Just from such trivial information, he was able to see the whole picture and set a trap for her. It must be his deep scheming.
It's such a pity that it's only used to harm people.
Caixia rolled her eyes and kowtowed, saying, "Replying to Empress Zhaoyi, it was Concubine Li Xian, it was Concubine Li Xian who ordered me to do this."
Caixia really didn't want to leave the palace at all. Once she left the palace, she would have to return to her hometown in the countryside.
Now that she has served in the imperial city for such a long time, she has gotten used to the fact that there are so many flowers that they are dazzling. Although she is a servant,
Accustomed to the wealth and splendor of the palace, she really couldn't get used to going back to her hometown.
And she had another idea in mind. If she stayed in this palace for a long time, she would be able to make a breakthrough and wouldn't have to live a life of serving others anymore.
Caixia cried bitterly and gave away her master. Qin Liuse felt a headache after hearing this. He thought that this servant was so black-hearted that there was no way to pry anything out of her.
In fact, Qin Liuse was just trying to scare her. Now that she is pregnant, she will not cause any bloody disaster in Zhaoyang Palace. She should at least do some good deeds for her child.
However, since Caixia has lied again and again, such a person naturally cannot stay in Zhaoyang Palace.
Qin Liuse didn't want to compete with her, nor did he expect her to submit and become his own. He was too lazy to play Tai Chi with her, so he ordered Xiao Fuzi, "Take her to the Shanggong Bureau to receive punishment and send her to the laundry bureau."
The punishment had to be done by the Shanggong Bureau, and Qin Liuse never wanted to see this person again.
When Caixia heard that Qin Liuse was going to send her to the laundry, she felt a little relieved, but after the relief, she felt despair.
Once you go to the laundry, you can never get out again.
She kept kowtowing, trying to impress Qin Liuse and make him stay with her.
But for some reason, this master who was usually very easy to get along with seemed to be determined at this moment.
Qin Liuse was indeed determined to send her away.
Because just now, she was testing whether Caixia had room for repentance.
But the moment she mentioned Concubine Li, Qin Liuse knew that she was deceiving herself. Such a cunning and dishonest person naturally could not be kept by her side.
What shocked Qin Liuse even more about today's events was that among these four Xias, Caixia was not the only one who was betraying her.
Just now, Xiao Fuzi whispered in her ear that it was not only Caixia who ran out to inform the news, but also Dongxia.
Dongxia was also controlled by Xiaofuzi and Xiaobaoer and locked in a room at the back. She was not brought here to be executed together with Caixia.
This was also what Qin Liuse meant. Separating the two of them would make it easier to find out the information from their mouths to prevent them from colluding with each other.
Just now, Dongxia left Zhaoyang Palace and went to Concubine Li's Yuxiu Palace, and also visited Concubine Wen.
Dongxia went to Concubine Li, which means everything Caixia said was a lie.
With so many lies, Qin Liuse naturally couldn't keep her.
Qin Liuse felt a little helpless, not knowing whether to be thankful or speechless.
What’s funny is that these people have placed people in her palace. They seem to think highly of her and think she is too big a threat, so they do so many small moves.
What was speechless was that her Zhaoyang Palace had only been in her for a short time, but it had already fallen into the clutches of these people.
Qin Liuse drank a few sips of tea and rested for a while in the main hall. After she recovered from her fatigue, she led the maids to the wing rooms at the back.
However, Dongxia was much smarter than Caixia and quickly confessed everything.
Qin Liuse did not treat Dongxia the same way as Caixia, but kept her in Zhaoyang Palace.
Qin Liuse is not a saint, but the enemy can place people around her. She keeps Dongxia so that she can use a counter-espionage strategy. After all, she can use her to leak information if there is any news.
Although this move is risky, because I don't know whether Dongxia is really obedient to me or wants to please both sides.
But if all of them were cut off, it would lose some meaning.
Dongxia also didn't expect that at this moment, Qin Zhaoyi would actually consider her.
Instead of giving her a cold face, she gave her some advice, asking her to think about whether Concubine Li and Concubine Wen were as prosperous as she was in the harem.
In fact, Dongxia knew clearly in her heart that who in the harem could compare with Qin Zhaoyi?
It was just that she had no choice but to listen to Concubine Li Xianfei and become her lackey when she was threatened by her.
Moreover, those two were not as easy to serve as Qin Zhaoyi. Dongxia had only served in Zhaoyang Palace for half a year, but she could clearly feel the difference.
Since Qin Liuse was willing to give her a chance, Dongxia was also a smart person. She immediately surrendered to Qin Liuse and clung to Qin Liuse's thigh again.
Qin Liuse made this decision after observing Dongxia's actions and temperament on a daily basis.
Qin Liuse likes to deal with people who know the times. No matter how long this chess piece can be used, he will take it one step at a time.
At this time in Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Xin Shu was furious when she found out that Caixia was sent to the laundry department by Qin Liuse.
At the beginning, she took a lot of effort to arrange Caixia to live in Zhaoyang Palace.
It is not easy to find a servant like Caixia in this palace, whose entire family's lives are in her hands.
I had been planning to place this chess piece next to Qin Liuse, but I didn't expect that she would actually pull it out.
"How could it be discovered?!" Concubine Xin Shu slammed the table so hard that the tea lid on the table began to shake.
