Chapter 56
As soon as Lianxiang's sharp voice came out, the little maids were all taken aback, looking at each other with different expressions.

But Cao Ba, who was hiding on the roof, smiled viciously, with the corners of his mouth raised high, looking so penetrating.

Lianxiang took a deep breath, only to realize that she had said the wrong thing, but she didn't get anything, and she was still very unwilling in her heart.

Speaking of this, Lian Xiang gritted her teeth and left the room, walking very fast, wanting to go to Su Ruxue's room to ask for an explanation.

The night was cold and dark, and a black shadow passed by silently.

Lianxiang only felt a chill behind her, she turned her head vigilantly, and was knocked out before she could see who was coming.

Cao Ba looked at the woman under his feet in distaste, and attracted a shadow, asking him to carry Lianxiang on his back and return to the Emperor's Mansion.

……

"Whoa-"

A basin of cold water was poured down from the top of her head, which made Lianxiang shiver involuntarily.

She woke up in a daze, only to find that she was tied to a chair by Wu Huada, and there was still some pain at the back of her head. She struggled a bit, but couldn't move at all.

"If she doesn't wake up, I'm going to attack." Cao Ba pinched his knuckles impatiently, and there was a tooth-squeezing sound, which made Lianxiang shiver again.

She opened her eyes tremblingly, and when the glare of the light hit, she squinted her eyes to see the person in front of her clearly.

I am in an empty room, tightly tied to a chair, opposite to her sits Li Yunqing in a white dress, reading a book nonchalantly, the candlelight is faint, her face is as seductive as a dream .

And Cao Ba, with one foot on the chair, one elbow resting on the knee, with a straw in his mouth, looking at her fiercely.

Aunt Yue stood aside with a few shadows, staring at her coldly.

Lianxiang's heart shrank suddenly, her eyes flickered with horror, and she stammered: "You...you..."

She just remembered that at that time, she was walking in the prime minister's mansion and was going to talk to the young lady, but suddenly felt a chill behind her back and was knocked out!
Thinking of what she had done during the day, she could almost imagine her own tragic ending with the slandered Lord right in front of her!

Cao Ba raised his eyebrows high, and his bottomless eyes were full of frightening ruthlessness: "You are the one who wantonly smeared Yunqing in the imperial capital?"

Lianxiang's heart jumped into her throat, she swallowed, and involuntarily glanced at Li Yunqing next to her.

Li Yunqing still had a calm look of nothing to do with herself, her white fingers gently flipping the pages of the book, the candlelight reflected her long eyelashes, leaving a shadow under her pair of snowy eyes.

She is already notorious outside, and may be demoted tomorrow, but she is so calm.

She is like an ancient well, without ripples, but she seems to have insight into everything, easily mastering the ups and downs of the world, turning the clouds and rains upside down.

And it was such a person, Lianxiang, as the maidservant of a wealthy family, this was the first time she saw such a person, and it made people feel the deep fear!
Lianxiang's first reaction was to violently shake her head in denial: "No...no...it's not me, I don't know...what are you talking about...!"

She was stumbling, so nervous that she could hardly make a sound.

"Really?" Cao Ba gently put down his feet, walked in front of Lian Xiang, tilted his head and took out a dagger, showing a bloodthirsty smile, and patted her face, "Again I'll give you a chance to speak well."

As the cold dagger slashed across her cheek, Lian Xiang could hardly help screaming, but because of extreme fear, she couldn't make any sound.

When people are in the most dangerous time, they always consider their own interests.

After all, life-saving is the most important thing.

Cold sweat oozes densely, covering her forehead. She opened a pair of terrified eyes, looked at Li Yunqing, and said in a panic: "I... I will come forward to clean up for you, can you let me go?"

She doesn't want to think about it so much now, taking care of her Suru Xue, going to his Prime Minister's Mansion, it has nothing to do with her Lianxiang's life!
She just wants to live now!
Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly, but still did not speak, she turned a page and continued to read.

Lian Xiang didn't understand Li Yunqing's meaning, and Yue Gu who was beside her spoke slowly: "Girl, do you think that you did those things with your own face, would your miss let you appear in the imperial capital alive?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Lianxiang stared in horror.

That's right, if she appeared in the imperial capital again, wouldn't it ruin the young lady's plan?
In that case... If she had gone to Su Ruxue's room at that time...

"You are a corpse." Cao Ba grinned his lips fiercely, his cold words were like a knife, stabbing Lianxiang's fragile nerves fiercely.

Lianxiang's last nerve broke, her face was pale, and she leaned on the chair with an earthy complexion.

She thought she had gotten a good job and spent a lot of time in the imperial capital.

Unexpectedly, it was an errand with no return!

At this time, Li Yunqing finally closed the book, let out a little breath, tilted her head, her cold eyes fell on Lianxiang, her voice was as cold as snow: "Tomorrow, come out and testify, and I will let you live."

The cold voice hit Lianxiang's heart, and she stared with some concern: "No, what if you lie to me!"

Before Lian Xiang finished speaking, there was a "bang", Cao Ba thrust the dagger into the back of the chair next to Lian Xiang's face, and Lian Xiang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat!

"Do you think you have the right to choose?" With a sneer on the corner of Cao Ba's mouth, he turned around and straightened his clothes, took a last look at Li Yunqing, and said in a calm voice, "Be careful tomorrow."

After speaking, he felt extremely twisted again, turned his head, and quickly left the room.

Li Yunqing's snowy eyes moved slightly, without thinking too much, she got up with the book.

It's getting late, if she doesn't go to sleep, she will be fast asleep in the Nine Layers Hall tomorrow.

Just as Li Yunqing was leaving the room, Lianxiang suddenly shouted loudly: "My lord, it is impossible for my young lady to come up with such a scheme, there must be someone behind her!"

Lianxiang wanted to say something useful to Li Yunqing in the end, let her look at her own interests and treat herself better.

But it's a pity, Li Yunqing guessed it very early, so she walked directly to the bedroom without stopping.

In an instant, Lianxiang was the only one left in the room.

To be precise, she felt that she was alone, but in fact, there were a few shadows in the dark place that she couldn't see.

The candle on the wooden table in front of her was flickering, Lian Xiang slumped on the chair with an earthy face, not knowing what her future would be like.

……

On the second day, it was a sunny day. The morning light shone on the Emperor's Mansion early, and a string of birds flew by, bringing melodious birdsong.

Li Yunqing was called up in a daze, today it was Aunt Yue who was helping her choose clothes.

"How was last night?" Li Yunqing rubbed her hair sleepily, and asked a little out of sorts.

Yuegu smiled gently: "A few black shadows came, and they were all knocked down."

"So, does she know that Lianxiang was tied up by me?" Li Yunqing's snowy eyes moved slightly, and she touched her chin.

If she knew, today's play would not be fun.

"I probably don't know, it's just out of vigilance." Yue Gu pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

"Then Su Fu knew about this matter." Li Yunqing watched Yuegu bring over a light blue dress, the skirt was embroidered with the pattern of the bright moon on the sea, it was quite elegant and flexible.

How could that idiot of Suru Xue want to get here, probably she told Su Fu about it, and found that Lian Xiang was missing, so out of vigilance, she sent someone to the Emperor's Mansion to investigate.

In this case, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Yunqing's lips.

Is Su Fu trying to make matters worse?
Do you want to bring her down with just this thing?

Maybe I looked at her too much first.

Li Yunqing pursed her lips, put on her clothes, and was eating breakfast when she heard a loud noise outside.

Aunt Yue hurried in: "Miss, they are from Dali Temple. They said that Your Majesty, the Taiwei and the Prime Minister have all arrived at Dali Temple... I want Miss to go to Dali Temple quickly."

Li Yunqing sighed, the food was really not good for people to eat.

When she stood up, she glanced at the bright whip on the shelf next to her, and her snowy eyes lit up slightly.

She gently took off the whip and handed it to Yue Gu: "Hang it beside the carriage."

Aunt Yue was a little puzzled.

"Let the common people take a good look at the bright whip that beats the king down and beats the ministers. What does it look like?" Li Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and said coolly, "Also, let someone take Lianxiang there quietly."

"Yes." Only then did Aunt Yue understand Miss' intention, picked up the whip, walked out, and hung the whip on the curtain of the carriage.

The bright whip is not big, but it is made of the skin of the thousand-faced python. Compared with ordinary whips, the difference is really not 01:30, as long as people with eyes can tell the difference.

at last.

Li Yunqing got into the carriage, passed through the imperial capital, and headed towards Dali Temple.

This carriage is not very prosperous, but it is exquisite and meticulous. The horse walks step by step, and the strands of tassels sway beautifully.

Li Yunqing sat inside, leaning on the cushion made of snow fox fur. On the low table in front of her was a jug of sake, and an unknown fragrance wafted up.

She half-closed her eyes, and frowned slightly as the carriage shook.

Li Yunqing suffered from motion sickness since she was a child, and within a quarter of an hour of getting into the carriage, she couldn't help but vomit.

But she has to take a car today, so that she can clearly show the bright whip to the common people.

Besides, they are so angry with her right now, if a rotten egg is thrown, she doesn't want to go to Dali Temple with the rotten egg.

There are many people on the street, and most of them want to go to Dali Temple to watch the excitement.

After all, His Majesty is here in person, Mr. Taiwei, Mr. Prime Minister, and Mr. Emperor Shi, who is still on the way, will put on a good show in a while.

The common people like to watch the big officials fight.

However, those common people who had suffered were staring at the carriage angrily, wishing they could rush over and tear Li Yunqing's body to pieces right now.

Some sharp-eyed people saw the bright whip next to the carriage, and they couldn't help being suspicious.

"Look, that's the bright whip, why is it different from the one used by the maid yesterday?"

"Hey, when you say that, it's really..."
