Chapter 1261 Peeling
After a moment, she quickly covered it up again.
Xiao Li quickly walked up to Lin Su and asked, "Your Majesty, why was the door to the warm pavilion locked from the inside? Are you alright?"
Lin Su replied gently, "Your Majesty, please don't worry, I'm fine. As for why the door was locked from the inside, you'll have to ask Granny Fang. She brought me in and hid a guard who had been drugged in this warm pavilion beforehand!"
Her tone suddenly turned cold, which startled Granny Fang so much that she shuddered.
She quickly protested, "Your Majesty, please don't slander me like this. How could I do such a thing? It was clearly you who secretly had an affair with this guard in the warm pavilion. He hid here beforehand. You and he are having an affair!"
After the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Xiao Li's face was gloomy and ugly, and his cold eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.
Granny Fang was extremely pleased with herself, believing that the Emperor had begun to take his anger out on the Empress.
She needs to add fuel to the fire!
She spoke urgently: "Your Majesty, this servant has heard strange noises from this warm pavilion many times. Presumably, this is not the first time Her Majesty the Empress has met this guard. How can someone as shameless as her be qualified to be the Empress of our glorious dynasty?"
"Slap!" Before she could finish speaking, a sharp gust of wind slapped her hard across the face.
She spat out several bloody teeth, her face contorted in panic, and collapsed to the ground: "Your Majesty, why did you hit me? I was telling the truth!"
Lin Su slowly spoke up: "Your Majesty, do you really believe what this old woman said? She said that at night, I had a secret rendezvous with a guard in the warm pavilion!"
Xiao Li frowned. This was simply impossible!
At night, he's the one who keeps bothering her!
How could she possibly find the time to come to the warm pavilion again?
He sneered and immediately ordered his men to tie up Granny Fang.
He said in a deep voice, "What a bold and treacherous servant! How dare she deliberately slander and frame the Empress! Guards, skin her alive and use her flesh as fertilizer!"
Fang Mama was so frightened that she cried out in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, spare my life! I have worked hard in this flower room, even if I have not done anything meritorious. Please have mercy on me!"
Xiao Li didn't say anything, but Empress Lin spoke up: "Your Majesty, don't rush to skin her alive. I have no grudge against her. We should ask her why she wants to smear me!"
Xiao Li waved his hand, and Fang Mama, who was covered in a mess, was thrown to the ground.
Lin Su walked up to her and asked condescendingly, "Granny Fang, are you still not willing to reveal the mastermind behind this? Are you really willing to suffer the pain of having your flesh peeled off for her sake?"
Granny Fang gritted her teeth. At this point, how could she dare to hide anything?
Saving your life is the most important thing!
She answered hastily:
"This servant confesses that it was Grand Tutor Feng who begged me to do everything in my power to help his granddaughter!"
Lin Su asked in surprise, "Feng Yingying?"
Granny Fang nodded emphatically: "Yes, it's her. She came up with all these plans. She wanted to scheme against the Empress and take her place!"
Xiao Li sneered: "She's dreaming. Who does she think she is? Does she think I would take a fancy to her?"
Before long, Feng Yingying was brought before the Emperor and Empress.
She knelt on the ground and pleaded, "This humble woman knows her mistake. I beg Your Majesty and Your Majesty the Empress to forgive me this time, considering my young age!"
Xiao Li said with disgust, "Being young is not an excuse for your mistakes. You are so vicious and insubordinate. If I don't kill you, it will only embolden those who harbor evil intentions!"
Feng Yingying was so frightened that she trembled violently. She didn't want to die!
Knowing that Lin Su was always kind-hearted, she could only crawl to her feet and kowtow: "Your Majesty, I was out of my mind to have such improper thoughts. I know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again. Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
She banged her forehead against the ground repeatedly, and in a short while, it was covered in blood.
Lin Su remained unmoved. If she hadn't taken the mind-clearing pills prepared by Wanwan, she would already be nailed to the pillar of shame.
They might just turn into a completely different person.
She slowly squatted down, reached out and grasped Feng Yingying's chin, saying, "With your good looks, you could have any kind of husband you wanted. Why did you have to be like a moth drawn to a flame, crashing into the Emperor?"
Feng Yingying's tears mixed with blood flowed continuously. She was filled with regret. She hadn't expected that the Emperor and Empress's love was stronger than ever. Even when he caught her with another man, he wasn't angry.
She couldn't help but think that, given Xiao Li's love for her, he probably wouldn't be angry if she were with another man. He would only reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
Only at this moment did she realize that she had been utterly defeated.
She sobbed in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it was my overestimation of my abilities. I beg you to persuade the Emperor to spare me this time. I am willing to serve you like a slave to repay your kindness!"
Lin Su said disdainfully, "If I let you go, wouldn't everyone think that I, Empress Lin Su, am easy to bully? Feng Yingying, I will use you to establish my authority!"
Just one sentence was enough to fill Feng Yingying with horror.
She's finished!
Sure enough, Lin Su gave the order: "Tie her up, tattoo the word 'shameless' on her face, and send her back to the Feng residence!"
Feng Yingying's vision went completely black, and she almost fainted from fright.
The Empress was not humiliating her, but rather humiliating the Feng family.
She cried and said, "I will take full responsibility for my actions. Kill me or torture me, but please don't tarnish my grandfather's reputation!"
Lin Su said sarcastically, "When he came to beg Granny Fang to arrange for you to enter the palace, he had already trampled his reputation underfoot. He doesn't care about it himself, so why should I cover for him?"
Feng Yingying was gagged, dragged away, and branded with words. Granny Fang was also dragged away along with her.
Only the guard kneeling in the corner remained in the warm pavilion, his shoulders hunched and his whole body trembling.
He believed he was doomed!
Even if he hadn't actually done anything with the Empress, the Emperor would probably still not let him off the hook.
After all, men are selfish and stingy!
However, in the end, all he received was a scolding from Xiao Li: "What are you still kneeling there for? Get out here and go on duty!"
He quickly agreed and scrambled away!
Once only the two of them remained in the warm pavilion, Xiao Li pulled Lin Su into a tight embrace.
He frowned and said, "I was so worried about you! I was really afraid something might happen to you!"
Lin Su patted his hand: "No, I took the mind-clearing pill that Wanwan gave me beforehand, so I was prepared!"
Xiao Li's eyes were filled with surging killing intent: "I have been too lenient with the Feng family. Now the whole capital knows that his granddaughter did such a disgraceful thing. Let's see how he can live with any face now!"
Lin Su nodded: "Yes, if he's smart, he should take his own life!"
Before long, Feng Yingying, looking disheveled, and Granny Fang were brought to the Feng residence together.
When Feng Taifu saw the word "shameless" tattooed on her face, he fainted from shock.
