Chapter 018 The Emperor's Warning

Shen Guang was so frightened that she could not react. She subconsciously thought of the bad things she had done and thought he was asking which hand she used to push Xie Yun.

She was speechless.

Yin Ji slowly pushed Xiao Baobao away and leaned over to her: "I ask you, which hand did you use?"

Shen Guang felt a chill rising from her feet and quickly spread throughout her body. She shivered with shock and instinctively raised her right hand.

"Yes, this one..."

Yin Ji stared at the hand for a few seconds and shook his head with regret: "It is a pampered hand, which shows that your master treats you well... It's a pity that it is too useless, so cut it off."

He said it lightly, as if that short sentence was not destroying a living hand, but an object, a grain of dust.

Shen Guang couldn't believe it. She and Yin Ji had met before when they were in the Xiao family. He had a gentle temper and had never been angry in the twenty years he had lived in the Xiao family.

But this time when he entered the palace, he seemed to have become a different person.

First he wanted to beat her to death, and this time he wanted to chop off her hand. Although he only said that last time, Shen Guang still dared not take it lightly because it concerned her. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her head banged loudly: "Your Majesty, please spare me, for the sake of serving the master for so many years, please spare me..."

Xiao Baobao was also frightened by Yin Ji's sudden outburst, and quickly begged for mercy: "Brother Ji, don't be like this... Can I apologize for her?"

Yin Ji then looked at his hand: "Concubine Yue, what is the crime of damaging the dragon's body? You should know it even if I don't say it. Do you want to protect her?" 

Xiao Baobao shook her head subconsciously: "That's not what I meant... But Shen Guang has been with me for so many years, I won't be used to it without her... Brother Ji, please spare her for my sake..."

"What about my injury? An emperor was actually injured by a palace maid. Isn't it unfair to let her go easily?"

"Then..." Xiao Baobao was stumped by the question for a moment. After thinking for a while, she spoke with a lack of confidence, "Your Majesty, punish her, deduct her monthly salary, or even confine her."

Yin Ji tilted his head and stared at her straight, "Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough," Xiao Baobao nodded hurriedly, grabbing his sleeve and acting coquettishly, "Brother Ji, don't cut off her hands. She is still so young. How will she live without her hands? Let her go."

Yin Ji sighed helplessly, "Forget it, then I will give her a chance to redeem herself. I dropped a jade pendant when I entered the water a few days ago. If she can fish it out, this matter will not be pursued."

Xiao Baobao subconsciously wanted to refute, thinking that the weather was cold, Taiye Lake was so deep, and Shen Guang was just a little girl...

But before she could speak, Yin Ji spoke first, "I heard that her legs and feet are not good either. If she can't fish it out... let's chop them off together."

Xiao Baobao's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that he would be so harsh on his own people: "Brother Ji, you..."

Yin Ji raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Okay, I'm already tolerant enough, don't be so willful... I heard that your illness can only be cured after you vent your anger, so I will punish Xie Yun to be confined for half a month, are you satisfied?"
