64. Power of life and death
Gu Qianxue had to admit that this King Li was really a ruthless character.
Just like the most powerful swordsman, it is not how fast or powerful the knife is, but knowing where to cut will cause the most pain and damage to the wounded.
If King Li would go directly to Gu Qianxue, Gu Qianxue would have countless ways to deal with him.
But how did he expect that King Li ignored Gu Qianxue, but directly took her maid for surgery.
"King Li, come to me if you have anything, why did you kill my maid!" Gu Qianxue stood up suddenly from the ground, glaring at King Li angrily.
Eunuch Shao was even more worried, and kept blinking at Gu Qianxue, hoping that she would shut up obediently.
King Li finally raised his pupils, which were as dark as night, his eyes were calm and unwavering, without any trace of human emotion, but showing a murderous look.
"My lord, do you still need to explain?"
The tone is also extremely light, and the clear voice is like an invisible dagger, very sharp.
Gu Qianxue rushed over and pushed away the guard who was dragging Yulian, "Why don't you explain? Don't say that you need an explanation for killing people, even the emperor needs an explanation for killing people. If you kill people at will, what do you need the law for?"
King Li nodded slightly, "Okay, Mr. Shao, give her an explanation."
Eunuch Shao sighed, "The two servant girls, Yulian and Yucui, went straight into the High Heaven Pavilion without being summoned by King Li. In addition, they carried sharp weapons, so there is a possibility of assassination, and they should be severely punished."
Gu Qianxue was so angry that she couldn't speak, "The High Heaven Pavilion is the residence of Mr. Su, not your Prince Li's mansion. At that time, I didn't even know that King Li was here before I arrived at the High Heaven Pavilion with Yulian Yucui. How can we talk about summoning?"
"But this king is indeed here." Li Wang's tone was still terribly flat, as if he was chatting rather than involving two lives.
"But no one informed us." Gu Qianxue was furious. If someone told her that King Li was here, heh, she wouldn't come up at all.
Li Wang slightly raised his eyebrows, those sword eyebrows were like sharp weapons, punishing people to death. "Whoever leads them here will kill them together."
Shopkeeper Su lowered his head and knelt silently.
Gu Qianxue looked back at Shopkeeper Su in horror, and said to Su Lingxiao angrily, "Master Su, could it be that King Li killed Shopkeeper Su indiscriminately, and you are indifferent?"
Su Lingxiao sat quietly on the chair, calm and elegant, her long and narrow eyes were half-drooped, and she couldn't see her emotions, "Your Highness... he has always been like this."
"Crazy, you crazy guys!" Gu Qianxue scolded angrily, "Okay, since you are suspected of assassinating His Royal Highness Li Wang by entering the room without being summoned, then I am also suspected, if you want to kill, let's kill them all together."
Li Wang Ben's pursed thin lips slightly raised, "You are not suspicious."
"How could I not be suspected? Compared with the three of them, I am the most suspected person?" Gu Qianxue's tone was full of sarcasm. She had pushed Li Wang into the water before, so she was the most suspicious person.
Now Gu Qianxue is so regretful that her intestines are green. If she had known that King Li was such a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately, she should have dragged King Li to the bottom of the water and died together.
Taking one's own life to eliminate harm for the people can be regarded as benefiting the people of Nanyue Kingdom.
Li Wang looked at Gu Qianxue's angry expression, "Mr. Shao." The smile on his lips deepened.
Eunuch Shao raised his old eyes to look at Gu Qianxue, and immediately said, "Return to Your Highness, Miss Gu is not suspected, because she didn't carry a sharp weapon."
"Sharp weapon?" Gu Qianxue couldn't help shouting out, she turned around and pointed at Yulian and Yucui who were trembling and weeping softly, "I didn't bring a sharp weapon, so did they?"
Eunuch Shao sighed, "They brought...hairpins. Hairpins are metal objects with a sharp end, which is considered a sharp weapon."
It was only then that Gu Qianxue remembered that she only wore her hair in a bun today and did not wear a hairpin because she was going to practice with Su Lingxiao in the morning, and she was afraid that carrying too many accessories would be too cumbersome.
It never occurred to me that such an insignificant move would be caught by you.
Gu Qianxue only felt that she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She stared straight at King Li, "A hairpin can kill someone? Then my teeth can kill someone too. If I want to kill someone, I'll bite him to death and suck him dry." His blood, eat up his flesh!"
Eunuch Shao couldn't laugh or cry, if it wasn't for the presence of King Li, he really wanted to persuade this ignorant girl to cherish her own life.
Outsiders were afraid of making King Li unhappy, but she was fine and choked with King Li directly.
King Li sneered, his white jade-like face showed a trace of sarcasm, without the tea bowl, he actually played with the black jade wrench in his hand. "As you wish, her teeth were pulled."
Immediately a guard stepped forward.
Gu Qianxue was really scared this time, she finally understood why Gu Shangshu was afraid of King Li, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
In fact, this King Li has no fear and is not threatened at all.
"Pull it out, I'll kill myself if I pull it out." Gu Qianxue sneered, "Anyway, if I die, the emperor won't pursue it. Of course, you great king Li, you don't care if the emperor will pursue it, do you?"
Suddenly, King Li narrowed his eyes, if it is said that King Li just now was lazily lying in the distance, licking the lion's paws. At this time, King Li had stretched his hair and arched his body, ready to jump up and give his prey a fatal blow.
At this time, Su Lingxiao coughed twice, and then said, "The villain has an unfeeling request, I wonder if His Highness can accept it."
Because of Su Lingxiao's opening, King Li restrained his murderous aura a lot, "Say it."
Su Lingxiao chuckled, "It just so happened that the villain fell ill not long ago and was in the recuperation stage. It is really inappropriate to see bloodshed. The villain has the courage to implore His Highness to spare the lives of the three of them. The villain is extremely grateful."
King Li took a deep look at Su Lingxiao, and the room was dead silent.
Gu Qianxue still wanted to scold King Li, but was glared at by Eunuch Shao, and finally she could only shut up reluctantly.
After a long time, when everyone was so oppressed by this momentum, King Li finally said slowly, "Death is inevitable."
That tone was high and high, like the king of Hades who has the power over the life and death of all human beings.
It could be faintly heard, shopkeeper Su heaved a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Yulian, Yucui, and shopkeeper Su were dragged down by the guards of the royal residence, and each of them beat them with thirty slaps.
Gu Qianxue was angry, but didn't know how to vent her anger. For the first time, she felt helpless with her life, and for the first time, she truly realized that she had come from a fair modern society to this backward and ignorant feudal and centralized society.
Tears kept swirling in the eye sockets, but he held back, not letting them flow.
Eunuch Shao sighed vaguely again, thinking in his heart that he had failed Mother Shen and failed to protect Gu Qianxue.
Su Lingxiao was also taken aback, his detached eyes showed pity, like a fairy falling into the world of mortals. He said slowly, "Since Ms. Gu is here to supervise my morning exercises, it happens that there is an open space behind the house in Haolan Academy. It was leveled last night, how about we do morning exercises on that open space?"
Gu Qianxue gave Su Lingxiao a cold look, "Lead the way."
No more good looks.
