52 Chapter 52
Ripple was lying on the bed resting, she only woke up yesterday, the whole person was very weak, and her spirit was very poor.
Only Qiu Tong was left to take care of him, and the others all withdrew, and only then did he think about sleeping for a while, when he saw the girl open the curtain, and his mother came from the door.
Ripple's eyes narrowed into a slit, glanced at it and closed it, Qiu Tong hurriedly moved a small embroidery pier for her, Ye Ziniang sat down, took Ripple's hand, and chattered non-stop.
"It's not that my mother is not close to you...... Mother just doesn't know how to get close to you...... Mother always thought you didn't like Mother ......"
"Mother!" Ripple opened his eyes and roared: "The doctor said, my daughter needs to rest!" ”
"You rest yours, don't worry about your mother." Ye Ziniang incarnated as a wronged little daughter-in-law, as if the ripples were the vicious mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to refute: "Mother watched you rest." ”
Hearing this, Ripple raised his head helplessly, "I've heard this one hundred and sixteenth time. ”
**
Ripple is sick, Cheng Junlin is faster than Ripple, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his body is already good, and his upper mouth recovers very quickly, although it is on the chest, it does not hurt the vital point, the sword is stuck in the bone, and it does not go deep.
Cheng Junlin became impatient after lying on the bed for a few days, if it weren't for him watching it every day, I am afraid that he would not even bother to lie down for the past few days.
The medicine continued to drink, his upper body was naked, his chest was bandaged, the charcoal fire in the house was extremely warm, and when the prince of Qinghe walked in, he only felt a heat wave coming to his face.
The old prince was really angry this time, and dared to attack his only son-in-law, this is to call them the heirs of the Cheng family! Check, must check, check hard!
As a result, this investigation really found out something terrible.
It was found out that the assassination of Cheng Junlin this time was actually the half-brother of the prince of Qinghe, and now the prince of Qinghe is far away in the palace of Anyang, the prince of Qinghe is holding a secret letter in his hand, and his heart is cold, he asked himself that he has always been good to this younger brother, with the palace as a backer, their family's life in Anyang is excellent, I can't imagine that they are so harboring evil intentions, they are unkind first, don't blame yourself for being unrighteous later!
Cheng Shijin's cousin Cheng Yuanjin is indeed in a hurry, because Cheng Junlin has made military achievements, and he seems to be more and more valued in front of the saint, he can't sit still, he is also a father, and his mother is also a daughter from a famous family, why did Cheng Shijin become a prince, and he can only live in Anyang, which is far away from the capital!
Five years ago, hunting in the suburbs of Beijing didn't kill that little prince, and this time he must not be allowed to live again.
Cheng Yuanjin's heart was not so big, and it was Cheng Shijin who had only such a concubine and no concubine for so many years that made Cheng Yuanjin delusional, he had always been domineering in Anyang, and he came to the capital once a few years ago, and everyone in Beijing only knew the prince of Qinghe, how could anyone take him Cheng Yuanjin to heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because the title of the prince of Qinghe was hereditary, and even if one room was convicted and won the title, it would be inherited by the other party, and his mind could not help but move.
Cheng Shijin sent a letter to his younger brother, only talking about brotherhood, but there was no information about the news that had been revealed, Cheng Yuanjin knew that the matter failed, and he would inevitably show his feet, and he already had the intention of apologizing for his crime with death, and he also wanted to protect his children and grandchildren.
Besides, there is such a person behind him, and he doesn't dare to survive, if he is accidentally implicated, he will be buried with him!
But I never thought of receiving such a letter, my mind couldn't help but come alive again, I held the letter paper in my hand for a long time, looked at the handwriting on it in a daze, and there was a moment of ecstasy beating in my heart - big brother he didn't know what he was doing!
Also, the eldest brother is just a martial artist, but he has won a few battles in troubled times, and how much strategy can he have? The letter said that the nephew had been injured and had found the perpetrator, and he wanted to invite him to discuss countermeasures.
A smile hung on the corner of Cheng Yuanjin's mouth, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head, and hid all the ideas and calculations in his heart.
Cheng Yuanjin couldn't have imagined that he would be caught as soon as he entered the capital, covered his mouth, and threw him directly into the Imperial Prison, where he entered the Imperial Prison, and there were screams all the way, putting him in the innermost cage, and there were rats running around on the ground.
At the beginning, he was not tortured, but only told him to watch inside, and after a few days, he understood that those who were beaten were considered good lives, and they could be called even if they earned a good life for another day, and those who no one cared about and no one asked, they would be corpses until tomorrow.
Cheng Yuanjin has never cried like this since he was born, Cheng Shijin still crawled out of the pile of dead people, Cheng Yuanjin was soaked in a honey pot, and on the fifth day, he had to be pulled out for interrogation, and before he was tortured, he was all recruited, but the charges were all on himself, and it had nothing to do with others.
The few people in charge of the interrogation laughed, the leader of these people was Pei Yunan, who was already very angry when he first heard that his friend had been harmed, and now that this person fell into his own hands, how could he be spared so easily?
Pei Yunan glanced at his subordinates, and the subordinates immediately understood what he meant.
The candle flame in the edict prison was bright and dark, and the atmosphere was even more gloomy and terrifying, the clamp stick was clamped on the leg, and the creaking sound of the dislocation of the bones could be clearly heard, and Cheng Yuan was sweating a lot, and he could endure it without saying a word.
Pei Yunan asked his subordinates to stop, looked at Cheng Yuanjin's expression of exhalation, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng, don't be in a hurry to relax, this is an appetizing dish, we haven't started the meal just for you!" ”
Pei Yunan is such a person, who can say threatening words as easily as a junior greeting an elder.
Cheng Yuanjin's face turned pale for a moment, and the sound of the wooden stick rubbing against the bones still made him unable to ease his senses, and the pain in his heart was transmitted directly from the leg bones to his brain, as long as this feeling was once, it would be unforgettable for life.
When Cheng Yuanjin heard him say this, he wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but Pei Yunan was discovered first, and as soon as he raised his hand to remove his chin, Cheng Yuanjin had no ability to resist at all.
Pei Yunan was still smiling, sitting on the seat, looking at Erlang's legs, holding his chin with one hand, and his smile was always bright: "What about the dish after that, it's called "opening a smile", I don't know if you've heard of Uncle Cheng?" ”
Cheng Yuanjin had never heard of it, and Pei Yunan didn't seem to want to fight him, so he stretched out his hand and waved someone to get him back, asking someone to take care of him, but he was not allowed to look for a short time.
Cheng Yuanjin's face was pale and was carried back, his face was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, his leg bones were cracked, the pain of drilling his heart was ripping his heart, his chin was still dislocated, and saliva was all flowing down the placket of his clothes.
Today this is still a side dish, and I don't know what tomorrow's dinner is, the more Cheng Yuanjin thinks about it, the more scared he becomes, his body is extremely tired, but the injury on his leg hurts his heart, and he doesn't feel sleepy at all.
Early the next morning, they came to pick up people again, and Cheng Yuanjin was dragged out by a frame, and there was nothing in this torture chamber except a wooden stick in the middle.
Pei Yunan sat on the side, still smiling like yesterday, but Cheng Yuanjin felt shuddered.
The door closed, muffling out the screams of the prisoners outside, and the silence inside was suffocating, as if you could hear the sound of your own blood flowing.
Pei Yunan glanced at Cheng Yuanjin lightly, and smiled gently: "This laughing is also called stick punishment, but don't think that it is the stick that beats people, as for what it is, you will know it in a while." This set of punishments, regardless of the simplicity of the tools, is one of the creations that can bring pain to the extreme. ”
Cheng Yuanjin was already extremely nervous, and when he heard this, why didn't he understand what this stick punishment meant? The whole clothes were soaked with sweat when he brushed it, because his chin was dislocated, and he was desperately saying "wow, wow, wow" in his mouth, Pei Yunan didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked someone to press him on the stick, Cheng Yuanjin didn't care about his chin and dislocated, and finally said a sentence with all his might: "I said, I said everything!" ”
The corners of Pei Yunan's mouth curled, and he said in a casual voice: "Close his chin and take him down to draw a charge!" ”
It doesn't matter what he said, this matter actually involved the prince, it turned out that the prince had colluded with him, and promised that if the prince helped him become the prince of Qinghe, he, as the only king of the opposite sex in this dynasty, would definitely fully support the prince's accession to the throne.
Now things are a little difficult to do, no one would have thought that this matter is actually related to the prince, how much the saint loves the prince, the officials under the prince are all known, when the fold is beaten, the big eunuch Zhang Quan'er next to the saint glanced at it, this glance, but he was shocked by a cold sweat, the fold is not someone else, it is the prince who has formed a party for personal gain, and there are many crimes.
Others only know that the saint favors the prince, but he has followed the saint for decades, but he knows where the saint loves the prince? It's just doting.
The prince married the girl of Liu Guogong's mansion as the crown princess, just to build momentum for the prince, so that his other brothers did not dare to think about the prince's position, in the affairs of men and women, the prince has always been a little taboo, and the saint also knows, but as long as it is not too much, it does not hurt the body, and the saint also turns a blind eye, and does not mind, I have never seen the saint condone which prince to such an extent, King An, King Li, and King Xian, which is not extravagant at the birthday banquet will be reprimanded by the saint once, the prince, has never been reprimanded.
After reading the excerpt, there was no reflection on the surface, his eyes were closed, and he was very sad inside, if it weren't for Zhang Quan'er who had followed the saint for decades, watching the hand holding the brush tremble slightly, where could he see the waves in the saint's heart? sighed silently, the saint is the emperor in front of others, but in front of the crown prince, he is just a father, now, the son Xiao thinks about his father's throne, how can he not be heartbroken?
**
When the prince knew the news, he pushed the two palace glass lamps on the table to the ground, and the saint still did not move the prince after all, but quietly changed all the officials who stood in line with the prince in the court, and the prince drank for a few days, and the saddest thing about him was not that his father changed the people around him, but that his father did not believe him, and he didn't even listen to his justification, so he did everything resolutely, and when he knew, he had already said that he had already settled down.
When the princess knew about this, she was teasing the parrot with her daughter in the courtyard, and the parrot was sent by the saint when her daughter was one year old, and the father-in-law who sent the parrot pulled her aside, and said that her daughter Xiao is like a queen, and she must be blessed in the future, she can only smile helplessly.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she returned to the prince's mansion from the narrow room where she was confined, and at this time her daughter was already full moon, and the soft little man was lying next to her and eating fists, and her little feet stretched out and didn't know what she was doing, she looked at her daughter and shed tears.
It's not that she didn't want to change the fate of herself and the prince, the prince acted perversely, and he was empty-eyed, where could she manage it? Her father married her to the prince because he wanted to marry her mother in the future, but he never thought that in the end, he didn't even leave a small mansion.
When the servants came to report that the prince was drunk and smashed things again, the princess smiled at her daughter, put her in the nurse's arms, pinched her face, and said, "The princess will come back to pick flowers for you." ”
The little girl nodded ignorantly, rubbing her eyes with her hands, a little sleepy.
"Take her back to bed." The crown princess instructed the nurse.
The crown princess walked towards the living room, thinking a lot in her mind, the Liu family is not only her mother's family, but also the mother family of the former queen, the most trusted by the saint is the Liu family, even if the prince falls, the Liu family will not fall, the Liu family will not fall, her life will not be too sad, if the prince asks to behead, I am afraid her life will be better, but the prince will not be asked to behead, she knows.
The prince has been persuading for a long time, in the past few years, the prince can feel that he is falling out of favor little by little, and the favor of the saint is no longer as unprincipled as before, the more restrained the prince is, the more arrogant the prince becomes, and the more arrogant the prince is, the closer he is to the trajectory of his previous life.
In this world, there is a kind of despair, that you are clearly at the end of the catastrophe, but there is no solution at all, you can only watch yourself die little by little.
The crown princess sometimes thinks that this must be her own retribution, revenge for ruining such a boy because of jealousy, thus ruining the prince and herself.
Guilty of it, boy. 166 Reading Network
