In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever
Chapter 652: What’s the point of giving them a break?
“Why do you still care about Cuihe and Cuimei?
Aren’t you angry with them?”
Xiao Muzhe looked at Ouyang Liuli in some confusion.
“Although they both did something wrong, their crime does not deserve death.
After all, their relatives are in the hands of the second prince. From another perspective, they can be considered as the most filial people.
The second prince is the real bad one.
They are both just palace maids and have no status, but I will not beat or kill them just because of their low status.
In short, they should be punished, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.
Moreover, we must not let them commit suicide out of fear of punishment in Mufeng Palace.
In this case, the Second Prince will definitely be the happiest. "
Ouyang Liuli's words made Xiao Muze's eyes sparkle.
"Sister Liuli, you are really making me look at you in a new light more and more."
"I'm not only beautiful, but also smart."
Ouyang Liuli said playfully.
Afterwards, they came together to the room where Cuihe and Cuimei were imprisoned.
The two men were tied to pillars with cloth stuffed in their mouths.
There were two maids guarding him.
When Cuihe and Cuimei saw Xiao Muzhe and Ouyang Liuli coming, they turned their heads away guiltily, not daring to look at them.
When the two maids saw them coming in, they knelt down and saluted.
"Greetings to the Third Prince, and Princess Liuli."
"Get up."
Xiao Muzhe raised his hand.
Two maids stood up, and one of them stepped forward.
“Please rest assured, Third Prince, we are always here to guard.
Every two hours, they would be given some soup.
Afterwards, they stuffed cloths into their mouths.
This way, they can be prevented from killing themselves and they won’t starve to death.”
"Very good, you can leave first. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded when the time comes."
Xiao Muzhe nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Third Prince."
The two maids bowed contentedly and left, closing the door.
Xiao Muze then spoke:
"You have relatives who were captured by the Second Prince, right?"
As soon as this question was asked, Cuihe and Cuimei immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Muzhe, with complicated emotions in their eyes.
Xiao Muze continued:
“So you threatened to die in order to save the lives of your loved ones.
Since you are very filial, even though you have committed a serious mistake, I will not let you off the hook."
When Cuihe and Cuimei heard this, their eyes both lit up, but only for a moment before dimming again.
What's the point of giving them a break?
They also have parents and brothers in the hands of the Second Prince.
If they betrayed the second prince only for their own survival, their relatives would have no chance of survival.
Xiao Muze guessed what they were thinking from the changes in their eyes, and added:
“We will find a way to get your family out safely.
If you are willing to cooperate with me, just nod your head and I can take the cloth out of your mouth and have a good talk with you."
Cuihe and Cuimei looked at each other, then looked at Xiao Muzhe and nodded.
Xiao Muzhe stepped forward and took the cloth out of Cui He's mouth.
As soon as the cloth was taken down, Cui He said anxiously in a hoarse voice:
"Third Prince, why are you still helping us when we are harming you and Princess Liuli?"
Xiao Muze did not respond to her words, but looked at Ouyang Liuli.
"You tell me."
Ouyang Liuli looked at Cui He and said seriously:
“Although your intentions are not right, you were forced after all.
If you are willing to risk your life to save your family, even if they are bad, there is still hope.
Brother Mu Ze and I are not hard-hearted people, so we don’t want to do anything too extreme.”
After hearing this, Cuihe felt a little ashamed.
But she also knew that perhaps her family still had a chance of survival.
"Princess Liuli, if you can rescue my parents and brother, my life will be yours.
You can take it anytime you want, I have no complaints.
If you ask me to testify against the Second Prince, I will definitely not refuse.
Just...just..."
At this point, Cui He couldn't help crying.
“I have no idea where the Second Prince has imprisoned my parents and brother.
Moreover, the second prince said that if anyone dared to betray him, he would cut my family into pieces.
Cut into pieces!
How painful that would be..."
Ouyang Liuli couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
"Xiao Cheng is really cruel.
Brother Mu Ze, we must rescue their families for them."
Seeing that Ouyang Liuli's eyes were a little red, Xiao Muzhe reached out and gently pinched her cheek to comfort her.
Cui He also realized from Ouyang Liuli's reaction that although Princess Nanli looked a bit hot-tempered, she was actually a very soft-hearted person.
They were lucky enough to meet a good person.
A modest gentleman like the Third Prince should marry a girl like Ouyang Liuli.
Cui He bit her lip.
“Princess Liuli, you are such a good person.
only…
Before my parents and brother were rescued, I really didn’t dare to stand up and testify against the Second Prince.”
Ouyang Liuli could also understand her and assured her:
"clear.
We will rescue your families first."
As she said this, she looked at Xiao Muze.
"Brother Mu Ze, right?"
"Ah."
Xiao Muzhe nodded in agreement and stuffed the cloth ball back into Cui He's mouth.
Then he took the cloth out of Cuimei's mouth.
After the cloth in Cuimei's mouth was taken out, she said quickly without waiting for Xiao Muze to ask:
“My parents and brother are in the hands of the Second Prince.
Like Sister Cuihe, if I dared to disobey the Second Prince, he would threaten to cut my family into pieces.
The Second Prince asked me to find ways to stay by the Third Prince's side and seduce him.
It would be best to use some means to climb into the Third Prince's bed, so as to break up the marriage between the Third Prince and Princess Liuli.
If I cannot stay with the Third Prince, I will die in Mufeng Palace.
This way, the Third Prince and Princess Liuli could be charged with forcing a palace maid to death.
At that time, the second prince could join forces with court officials to impeach the third prince.
In short, I am guilty.
If the Third Prince can rescue my family, I will sacrifice my life for his. "
Ouyang Liuli couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
“What do we want with your life?
You are really strange, you are willing to pay with your life for every little thing."
Cuimei lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard that.
Ouyang Liuli continued:
"Anyway, we've already said that we won't take your lives.
In a word, I will rescue your family and you stand up to testify against the Second Prince. It's that simple.
Can we make a deal?"
Cuimei couldn't disagree, she nodded repeatedly.
"I will obey the Third Prince and Princess Liuli's arrangements. I will not refuse even if I die."
Cuimei knew that the Third Prince and Princess Liuli were her family's last straw, and she had to hold on to them tightly.
