Chapter 102, Inducement of Confession (Second Update)
Late night silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Yan spoke: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early. You...... Tonight is Yuan Guiren's brand. ”
Kangxi stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Yan's hand, "I will accompany you tonight." ”
Zhao Yan shook her head slightly, "Yuan Guiren should already be waiting for you in the Qianqing Palace this time, and the concubine is fine." ”
Kangxi protected her in his arms, "I will summon her again another day." ”
Zhao Yan frowned slightly, the Yuan family was already sour and favored her, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous because of the difference in position. If she really asked Yuan Shibai to wait for one night, wouldn't she be a member of the enemy again? She really didn't want to do such a thing that harmed others and was not beneficial to herself.
Then he lowered his eyes and said: "The concubine knows, the emperor has mercy." But because of the emperor's pity, many people have been dissatisfied with the concubines. The concubine did not want to have one more person who resented the concubine. ”
Kangxi frowned, "Are you trying to drive me away?"
Listening to Kangxi's cold tone, Zhao Yan suddenly felt a little bad, alas, can't she be virtuous?!
lowered his head even more, and his tone became even lower: "The concubine has almost lost her child twice, and the concubine ...... I'm really scared......" her tone was already choked up.
Kangxi exhaled a breath and couldn't help hugging her tightly, full of pity: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." I...... will protect the concubine. ”
Zhao Yan had tears in her eyes, "Sometimes, the concubine can't help but think that the concubine's child has not yet been born, and there will be many disasters. Concubines...... Are you really blessed to give birth to this child?"
Kangxi's face was shocked, and he immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense!!My child and my child are the most blessed!!" His words were loud and loud, and there was no room for questioning.
With such a domineering tone, Zhao Yan's heart was inexplicably calm.
After all, Kangxi still stayed.
A good night's sleep.
When it was dawn the next day, Zhao Yan was woken up by the sound of rustling beside the pillow. It turned out that the people in the Imperial Palace were serving Kangxi to change clothes and wash.
"I'm going to go to the morning court, you can sleep a little longer. Kangxi's warm palm gently stroked Zhaoyan's forehead.
"Hmm......" Zhao Yan replied softly, indeed very sleepy. Pregnant people are already snooze, not to mention that it was out of the gear yesterday, so naturally they slept later.
At this time, Li Dequan walked out of the dormitory with trembling faces, and knelt down and said: "The slave is incompetent! That citron has such a stiff mouth, and after being tortured all night, he still refuses to confess to the harm to Jia Niangniang!
Kangxi frowned and reprimanded: "Waste!"
Li Dequan was so frightened that he couldn't stop kowtowing.
Zhao Yan was suspicious, Citron was just a palace maid who looked clumsy and timid, how could she have such a hard bone to endure torture? Or did she have the loyalty to Concubine Tong Guifei as if she were dead?
No, if she was really loyal, she wouldn't admit that Concubine Tong instructed her to monitor!
Zhao Yan faintly felt that things were a little tricky......
After Kangxi left, Zhao Yan had something on her mind, and she couldn't sleep anymore. simply called the palace maid in and served her to change clothes and wash.
Bai Tan looked at Zhao Yan's face carefully, and couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, you don't look good today......
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at her face in the mirror, her complexion was indeed a little dull, and she smiled: "I probably haven't slept enough, just wait for a nap at noon." As she was talking, she suddenly felt uncomfortable with her stomach falling, and she couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen......
What's going on? Zhao Yan's heart sank terribly.
Bai Tan hurriedly brought the fetal medicine up: "Niangniang, drink the medicine while it's hot." ”
Zhao Yan nodded, and didn't care about the bitterness, so she drank the hot medicinal juice in one go. After taking the medicine, I felt a little more comfortable in my stomach. I don't know if it's a psychological effect.
After breakfast, Zhao Yan assigned Hu Qingxi to send a new embroidery sample to Cousin An Concubine, and called Bai Tan to the study alone: "Citron is not recruited, it is inevitable that the night will be long and dreamy, you go to the Shen Penal Division." ”
Then, in a low whisper, he commanded.
Bai Tan's face was solemn, "Yes, the slave understands." ”
In the prison of the Punishment Division, there was a dark and stale smell of blood......
Bai Tan couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, she carried a food box in her hand, and went up to greet Li Dequan: "Gonggong Li is auspicious." ”
Li Dequan frowned: "Isn't this a girl from Baitan, why are you here?"
Bai Tan said: "Niangniang thinks that Gonggong Li has not slept all night, it is really hard, I am afraid that I haven't had breakfast yet." So I asked the servant to bring some delicate side dishes and give them to my father-in-law. ”
Li Dequan opened the food box, smelled the fragrant fragrance, and suddenly said with a smile on his face: "Ouch, Jia Concubine Niangniang really has a heart." ”
Bai Tan said politely: "My father-in-law is so worried about my mother's affairs, this is nothing." As he spoke, he took out the pot of green ant wine with his own hands and filled a full cup, "Father-in-law, please use it." ”
This green ant wine is a tribute wine, and the dishes in the food box are all delicacies from the mountains and seas, so how can anyone not covet the appetite? Not to mention that Li Dequan was already hungry, so he ate it happily.
After being full of wine and food, Bai Tan took the opportunity to say: "This citron, Niangniang treats her well! She actually wants to kill the emperor's heir in Niangniang's womb! Because of this, Niangniang is so angry that her stomach is uncomfortable!"
Li Dequan said: "Miss Baitan, you have to be good to comfort the mother, the concubine is pregnant with a dragon fetus, but you can't have half a point difference!"
Bai Tan nodded: "Father-in-law, I heard that the citron has not confessed until now?"
Li Dequan said distressedly: "But isn't it! Look at the soft and weak, it is actually a hard bone!"
Bai Tan smiled: "What a 'hard bone', she is afraid that once she confesses and implements the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, she will die! If she doesn't recruit Xing, she may be able to live, but if she confesses, she will die!"
Li Dequan suddenly realized: "You are reasonable!" Immediately, Li Dequan smiled bitterly again, "The citron has already fainted three times, and if the torture continues, I am afraid that ...... "People have not confessed, so naturally they can't be killed."
Bai Tan took the opportunity to say, "Father-in-law, can you let me meet Citron?" ”
Li Dequan thought for a while, and then said, "It's okay to see it, but you can't see it alone." ”
Bai Tan smiled and said: "That's natural, this place is so scary, if there is no father-in-law to lead, I will not dare to look at it." ”
Li Dequan smiled, and personally took Bai Tan to the cell where Citron was held.
At this moment, the citron was already covered in blood, lying half-dead on the haystack, and the whole person had three souls and seven souls, and Bai Tan couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw it.
Bai Tan took a deep breath: "Citron?!"
The citron on the ground barely opened her eyes, her lips trembled, and she hurriedly said, "I...... I was wronged...... I didn't...... "She spoke intermittently and angrily like a gossamer......
Bai Tan said: "Your master has abandoned you, you are loyal enough!" - what Bai Tan was referring to was undoubtedly Concubine Tong.
Citron shook her head hard, "No...... No...... It's not ......"
Bai Tan sighed: "If you refuse to confess again, even if you don't die, you will be abolished!"
Citron's bloodied face was full of gloom.
Bai Tan saw that there was a play, so he hurriedly said: "Niangniang is the most kind-hearted, as long as you are willing to confess truthfully, Niangniang said that she will intercede with the emperor for you and spare you from death." ”
Hearing this, Citron was like seeing the dawn, she endured the severe pain all over her body, climbed to the feet of Bai Tan, and grabbed Bai Tan's shoes with bloody hands: "You...... You said...... It's all true?!"
"Niangniang has always been lenient, you know this!" Bai Tan Zhengse said.
