Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 287 Choice

So Li Yong took a step forward eagerly, fell beside Master Mi, and urged anxiously: "Master Mi, why don't you tell me the truth?"

"The princess is kind-hearted and insightful. She will definitely uphold justice for us and clear our name!"

"We must not let the evildoer go unpunished, and we must not let him suffer this injustice for no reason! If we just swallow our anger, who knows how many people will suffer in the future!"

"We are committing suicide." Master Mi was able to harden his heart and stick to this statement for the sake of his family.

But he can hold on, but others may not.

Some people held onto some hope for Li Yong's words. After hesitating for a while, they finally mustered up the courage to say, "We didn't commit suicide. Someone suddenly broke in and tied us up without any explanation."

"But that man was a vicious person and threatened us not to tell anyone, otherwise he would harm our family. We had no choice but to do so and we dared not disobey him!"

Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and asked in a serious tone: "Are you sure there is only one person?"

The young craftsman who responded showed fear on his face, his body trembling slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes."

"That person has some magic. He only touched us lightly and we were instantly unable to move. We couldn't even make a sound to call for help."

"At that time, I felt a chill running from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. It was as if I was under a spell and had no power to resist. The fear I felt even now makes my hair stand on end."

Chu Ci's eyes were slightly cold, and his expression was solemn, "Madam Qiao, report the situation here truthfully."

"This princess has only one request. The truth must be spread throughout the capital so that everyone knows the whole story. No innocent person can be wronged, and no evildoer can be allowed to go unpunished."

Nanny Qiao wanted to persuade Chu Ci to think twice before acting. After all, this matter involved many people, and if it was not handled properly, it might bring unexpected troubles.

But when Chu Ci saw Aunt Qiao standing there motionless, his face darkened instantly, and he was obviously very dissatisfied. "Why, Aunt Qiao wants me to come to the palace in person?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiao was startled and quickly leaned forward to respond, "I obey your command. Princess, rest assured, I will fulfill my mission and handle this matter properly."

But Chu Ci was not so easy to get rid of. She stared at Aunt Qiao sharply and said, "No need. Just report the situation here truthfully."

"Madam Qiao, don't be so clever and do unnecessary things. Just do everything I say, understand?"

"I want the truth to come out, not any whitewashing or cover-up."

When Nanny Qiao heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat, her face turned pale, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

At this moment, Master Mi and other craftsmen who committed suicide seemed to have suddenly seen the light of hope in the endless darkness. The light of hope instantly ignited in their eyes. That light was hot and bright, as if it could dispel all the haze in their hearts.

Regardless of their limp bodies, they all crawled on the ground with all their might, tears streaming down their cheeks, and said with choked voices: "We, the common people, would like to thank the princess for her great kindness."

"The princess's justice and strictness are like a bright lamp, illuminating the dark and hopeless road ahead for us common people. We common people have nothing to repay you with, but we only wish the princess a smooth life, good health and happiness, and everything goes well."

"If the injustice can be redressed this time, we, the common people, will definitely erect a longevity tablet for the princess and offer sacrifices to her every day to express our gratitude for saving our lives. Even if it means our lives being shattered, we will not hesitate."

Chu Ci didn't care about it at all, instead her thoughts drifted to the time when she was bored in space. At that time, she accidentally remembered the "Black Jade Intermittent Cream" described in the novel of her previous life, and on a whim she started to develop some.

However, the efficacy of this medicine has only been tested on rabbits, and she is not completely sure whether it is suitable for the injuries of the people in front of her.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci said solemnly: "Everyone, stand up. This princess only asks one question. If I can cure you, but you have to suffer a little, are you willing?"

If Chu Ci had upheld justice for them before, it would have given them great spiritual comfort.

So talking about healing their wounds at this moment would be a real and huge benefit that could change their miserable situation.

This rekindled their strong hope for future life, even though they had already lost hope and felt disheartened. The fire of hope burned brightly in their eyes, making them more determined to grab this life-saving straw.

So Master Mi and the others threw away all notions of superiority and inferiority and anxiously asked: "Can our injuries be healed?"

"Princess, you must save us!"

"Yes, yes, we are really at our wits' end. If there is even a glimmer of hope for recovery, we are willing to pay any price."

The voices were chaotic and mixed, and Chu Ci hurriedly shouted, "Stop, everyone, listen to me first."

"This princess does have medicine for healing, but it has only been tested on rabbits. It is hard to know what effect it will have on humans."

"So what I want to ask is, facing such an unknown situation, are you willing to take a risk? This may be your only chance to regain your health, but it may also be fraught with risks. I hope you will consider it carefully."

They know their own bodies best. Their bodies have been delayed for so long that they have long given up all hope.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Master Mi and his men shouted in unison: "We are willing. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, even if the road ahead is full of unknown risks, we are willing to try. It is better than living like this, struggling to survive, without hope."

Chu Ci raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and immediately said decisively: "Well, all of you will follow me back to the mansion immediately. I will make proper arrangements and will not let you down."

"We are so lucky." Master Mi and the others knelt down again to express their gratitude, their foreheads pressed against the ground, their voices filled with relief and gratitude for escaping a disaster. "Your Majesty, you are so kind and generous, we will never forget it. In this life, we will work like slaves to repay you for saving our lives."

Chu Ci didn't care about this.

She knew deep down that she was helping them when they were in a low point, but human hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are unpredictable.

At that time, there is no guarantee that they will not choose someone else for greater benefits.

In this world, the temptation of interests can often change the original intentions and positions of many people.

However, Chu Ci didn't care about it at all.

However, those who were schemed against by Chu Ci were extremely concerned.

Their carefully planned conspiracy was shattered, the situation they had expected was completely disrupted, and the anger and resentment in their hearts burned like a raging fire.

"They are just a bunch of untouchables. Chuci, Chuci, she is so bold and reckless, she doesn't know how to live or die!"
