After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 123 Master, it's done

Zhu Yun appeared like a ghost in front of another secret guard who was guarding Chen. As for the other secret guard, he was led out and has not returned yet.

When the secret guard saw Zhu Yun suddenly appear in front of him as if out of thin air, he was shocked and raised his sword to stab him. However, when his sword met Zhu Yun's eyes, he was suddenly distracted.

It was at this moment that Zhu Yun gave him a knife and quickly pressed his acupoints.

Then, Zhu Yun came to Chen's cell at lightning speed and quickly opened the door.

With a "click" sound, Chen suddenly looked up at the person who came. When she saw that the person was wearing black clothes and a veil, Chen subconsciously wanted to scream. As a result, Zhu Yun flashed in front of her and grabbed Fate's throat.

Thinking that the secret guard who had been sent out would soon realize something was wrong and come back, Zhu Yun made a quick decision and stuffed a dirty and smelly piece of cloth on the ground into Chen's mouth. He ignored Chen's pleading eyes and the tears that were falling like rain, and knocked off her limbs with a few "bangs". Suddenly thinking of something, Zhu Yun took out a dagger from his boots, and slashed it at Chen's right hand, cutting the tendons of her right hand immediately. Zhu Yun wanted to cut the tendons of the other hand as well, but when he sensed someone coming, he immediately gave up the plan and ran away at ghostly speed.

Only Chen was left rolling on the ground in pain. Within two seconds, Chen fainted from the pain.

After returning, they found that the murderer had run away. The face of the secret guard who was guarding Chen suddenly darkened. Without time to think deeply, he hurriedly went to Chen. Seeing Chen lying on the ground half dead, he reached out to check if she was breathing. After finding that she was still breathing, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. His back was already wet.

But the next moment, he saw that Chen's right wrist was covered in blood. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Chen's limbs were in an extremely twisted state.

His expression changed instantly.

All his hands and feet were broken!

The tendons of his right hand were also cut!

At this time, another secret guard slowly woke up, then realized something, and looked towards Chen's cell. He saw his companion inside and hurried over to check.

Seeing Chen's miserable condition, the two looked at each other.

"I will go and report to the master, you stay here and handle the situation." As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guard who was the first to notice Chen's situation had already rushed towards the direction of the palace like an arrow.

Soon the Ministry of Justice's prison was in an uproar and everyone lost all desire to sleep.

Here, Zhu Yun, who escaped from the Ministry of Justice prison, erased his tracks along the way and appeared in the Begonia Courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion in a short while.

Zhu Yun at this time was exactly the same as she was during the day. No one in Haitang Courtyard knew that she had been out. As soon as Zhu Yun came back, she went into her room. After making sure that no one noticed her, she took off her clothes and put them away before falling into a deep sleep.

In the palace, after learning about Chen's miserable condition, Emperor Jingyuan completely lost sleep.

"It is my incompetence that makes me and others suffer. Please punish me, Master!"

Emperor Jingyuan looked coldly at the secret guards below and said, "Go and accept your punishment."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the secret guard was relieved and even secretly happy, so he couldn't wait to retreat and accept his punishment.

Since he was injured, someone else would have to take over. That was great. He really didn't want to look after the man in charge of the cell anymore. It was too torturous and boring. He also felt that there would be more things to do in the future. He would rather go on a mission!

Emperor Jingyuan tapped the imperial desk in front of him with his index finger, his expression unclear.

"Li Jin, who do you think it will be?"

Hearing this, the eunuch Li Jin standing below shuddered all over and replied after careful consideration, "…Reporting to Your Majesty, this, I can't guess either."

Even if he guessed it, he wouldn't dare to say it, Li Jin complained in his heart.

Anyway, it was either done by the Fifth Young Master and his mother, or by someone who was hostile to the Rui Palace.

The former was naturally revenge and teaching a lesson, but thinking about the appearance of Qiao, he felt that it should be impossible. Even if she was not as weak as she looked, she should not have such secret guards around her, so Li Jin subconsciously rejected this guess.

The latter naturally had secret guards of this level, but their purpose was nothing more than to teach Chen a lesson and make the emperor suspicious and disgusted with Qiao and her son.

Emperor Jingyuan sneered and glanced at Li Jin's trembling and fawning look.

He was not actually angry about what happened tonight. He was a very sensible person and knew what to do and what not to do.

This person didn't want Chen's life, he just wanted to teach her a lesson, which means that this person knew that he didn't want Chen to die.

Although these two secret guards are not among the top ten secret guards in the world, they are not someone who can be defeated by everyone. However, they were crushed by the other side tonight, and no trace of the murderer has been found yet. This surprised Emperor Jingyuan very much.

Thinking of Qi You, Emperor Jingyuan immediately rejected this idea. Qi You would never do that. Zhuying was given to him by himself, so he would not do that.

As for Concubine Xian, hiss! That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, although Qi You was wronged, he also received a lot of compensation, so she shouldn't do anything to Chen. After all, Chen has a son named Qi Zhao, who is also Concubine Xian's grandson. It is said that Concubine Xian likes this grandson more, although he can't catch up with Qi You, but it is clear that she won't do so.

So who did this tonight?

……

The next day.

Ruiwang Mansion, Begonia Courtyard.

Qiao Rongjin got up very early.

Zhu Yun came over at the right time to report her achievements last night.

"Master, it's done."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin smiled, looked at Zhu Yun with appreciation, and directly took out five hundred taels of silver from his arms and gave it to her, "Here, this is a reward."

Now she no longer has to worry about money. Among the things the emperor rewarded her yesterday, she saw that there were many good things such as gold, silver, jewelry, and jade. Adding them together, it is estimated that the value is at least 40,000 or 50,000 taels. The gold and silver alone add up to 10,000 taels, so now she is very generous. In addition, she remembered that the original owner had a few shops as a dowry, but until now, her natal family has been helping her manage them, and they would send the profits to her every year. Among those shops, one or two have relatively good profits. In a word, she is not short of money.

Seeing this, Zhu Yun hurriedly shook her head and wanted to refuse, but Qiao Rongjin spoke again, "Take it if I tell you to."

Of course there should be rewards for doing a good job, so that people will be more motivated to work next time. Qiao Rongjin was in a rare good mood.

At this time, Qinyun and Hongdou happened to come in with breakfast.

"Master, it's time for breakfast."

Well, seeing that Master Qiao was determined to do so, Zhu Yun accepted it. Thinking that Qin Yun and Hong Dou were here, she did not say anything, but just leaned forward.

Qiao Rongjin was very satisfied with Zhu Yun's cleverness. After all, what happened last night certainly couldn't be known to other people in the courtyard.

The princess also sent someone to tell her last night that Qi You was fine, so Qiao Rongjin didn't need to pretend to be sad.

At this time, people inside and outside the palace who were well-informed already knew what had happened in the Ministry of Justice prison last night.

When they learned that Chen's limbs were broken and his tendons were torn, they were furious.

Everyone is guessing, who was responsible for Chen's tragic situation?

hiss!

This method is really vicious! However, it did not touch the emperor's forbidden area. He was really jumping wildly on the edge of danger.
