Chapter 3 Human Skin Embroidery 3
The Ji family was already a little jealous of Concubine Zhao, who was not favored but had a noble status, and seeing her so weak and curious, she couldn't help but feel contempt. She lifted the purple plate held in the hands of the palace maid with one hand, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "This is a congratulatory gift that the concubine intends to offer on the emperor's birthday. β
Sure enough, I saw that the gold silk silk that was more than three feet high had been outlined with jade threads. The silk silk is of high quality, and after a dozen of the light, it is suddenly golden and overflowing, and it really has a bit of the domineering meaning of the true dragon emperor. Presumably, the creator also worked hard, and the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose of the character were set in precise positions with wax pills, not an inch worse. Most of the women in the palace embroidered some still life flowers and birds, and no one ever thought about the portrait. If this embroidery is completed, it will definitely amaze the six palaces, and the thistle will be favored, and it is just around the corner.
The woman saw that Concubine Zhao's face was groaning, and said that she was fascinated, and she was even more happy: "Niangniang is quite talented, if you are willing to come to help, it is even better, and after the success, the concubine will not forget to say a few good words for you in front of the emperor." β
"Since my sister has such a heart, then this palace might as well tell you a good idea." Concubine Zhao opened her mouth gently, lowering her eyes and chuckling, "No matter how good the golden silk is, it is a clichΓ© after all, I wonder if my sister has ever heard of human skin embroidery?" β
Seeing that the woman was slightly stunned, she raised her eyes lightly, and said coldly: "Sister Ice Muscle Jade Body, if you are willing to embroider this painting on the carcass, it will definitely surprise the emperor." The human skin will not fade due to the wind and sun, and if the emperor knows that you have withstood the pain of breaking the skin for him, he will be very moved and reward his sister. β
Concubine Zhao still had a modest and decent smile on her face, but what she said was a chilling torture. Ji's previous expression of joy had dissipated, and now his face was pale and bloodless, and it was difficult to even stand under his feet. She looked at Concubine Zhao with frightened eyes, as if she didn't quite believe it: "Niangniang, it's... It's a joke with the concubine. β
Concubine Zhao suddenly smiled, her face was cold and warm: "Cai Ling, go find a few embroidered grandmothers to help the thistle promise to realize the dream, remember, in order to make the portrait vivid, the stitches must be meticulous." β
Now that she has given the order, where can she still allow the Ji clan to resist. The guards beside him had dragged the woman down with their hands and feet, and Ji realized the cruel torture, and begged for mercy again and again, and heard her heart-rending cries all the way. However, Concubine Zhao had long since stopped looking at her, and just left the pavilion as if nothing happened.
However, two days later, the news of Ji's execution was handed over to Jing'an Palace. Xiaofuzi's description was impressive, and a sentence was attached at the end: "That Ji was hurt to death by life, and when she was asked to dispose of her corpse, the flesh and blood on her back were blurred, and several little eunuchs were so frightened that they didn't dare to come forward." β
Yu Yan sat on the couch, carefully admiring the three-inch-long jade-embellished ruby silver armor on his tail finger, and couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Concubine Zhao's methods have become more and more ruthless. β
"Then you have to sue the emperor about this?"
"No need, the emperor probably doesn't even remember who she is." The woman's eyes were shining like cold stars, "If you really ask, you will say that she is sick." β
What Yu Yan said is right, Yu Hao has really forgotten that there was such a woman who wanted to be favored and racked her brains. It's just that one day after the next court, he happened to see the embroidery girl in the palace passing by with a newly made moon gauze, and casually mentioned: "I remember that there seems to be someone who is also good at female red." β
At that time, Dong Bi was serving by his side, and when he heard this, he smiled: "What the emperor said, isn't it Concubine Zhao?" β
The life of the people in the palace is so low, even if the person who has nothing to rely on suddenly goes, it is just like a gust of wind blowing. Such an insignificant death is not even enough to become a topic of tea after dinner for the palace people, let alone when the newcomers enter the palace not long ago, when the palaces are fighting openly and secretly.
One day after the autumn, suddenly someone came to report that the noble man had a rash on his body, which was painful and itchy, and he made a lot of trouble. Because it was noon, Yu Hao rushed over directly after getting off the court. When Yuyan arrived, the noble concubines also greeted in the hall and were extremely attentive. Jia Guiren was only wearing a bamboo leaf green gown, and his face was covered with a feather blue translucent veil, and Chu Chu was pitifully snuggled at the head of the bed and cried. Yu Hao sat on the Limu Taishi chair next to the bed, and couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw her appearance: "Wasn't it okay yesterday, why did you suddenly have a rash." β
"The emperor is clear, the little lord is clearly allergic." Hearing this, the personal maid of the noble family hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "As long as the little lord has been exposed to musk since he was a child, he will have red rashes all over like this. β
"Musk!" Concubine Degui was taken aback, and stroked a pink-purple Lingxiao flower embroidery on her chest again and again, "How could you come into contact with this harem taboo." β
Jia Guiren couldn't help but turn pale with fright when she said this, and even cried out: "Concubine I don't know, I haven't seen such a thing as musk outside the palace a few times, so how can it appear on the concubine." β
"Could it be that someone wants to harm you...... "Concubine Degui looked at the woman's big eyes full of tears, and there seemed to be unbearable expression on her face, "Fortunately, the emperor is here, and he will definitely administer justice for you." β
I saw pity for Jia Guiren's trembling appearance, and Yu Hao looked at her as if she was frightened, and hurriedly comforted her softly. During this period, probably because of the news, Mrs. Yunping, who was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, also hurried over, and sighed again and again before entering the door before saluting: "How good is it if such a delicate little face has a scar, this palace is very distressed when it sees it." β
Yu Yan bowed her head slightly as if she had seen it, then turned her head and asked, "Have you ever seen anyone or eaten anything before the rash?" β
When the woman saw Yu Yan speak, she gradually stopped crying, and said timidly: "The concubine's breakfast has always been sent by the imperial dining room according to the recipe, and probably there will be no problems." If you have seen anyone...... Half an hour ago, the concubine saw that she had promised in the courtyard, so she chatted for a while. β
Yu Yan looked at the emperor with a slight hesitation, and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he ordered: "Send someone to check the diet of the nobles, and promise to come over." β
Dong Bi quickly retreated. Seeing that the matter could not be resolved for a while, the emperor gave everyone a seat. After some salutation, the promise of the same house has been brought up. The woman didn't seem to expect that the emperor and several high-ranking concubines were in the palace, and she was shocked when she entered the door. She was dressed in a hosta flower jacket with shrimp blue and silver threads, and her hair was coiled high with green silk, and she was tall and demure. I don't know if it's because although she has been by the side of Emperor Jin for a long time, Yuyan always feels that there is a bit of coldness in her eyes, which makes people feel alienated for no reason.
The little eunuch who was in charge of investigating the meal went up to the temple at this time and told the truth, "There is nothing unusual in the meal." β
When Yu Yan heard this, she only looked at her expressionless face and agreed, and said slowly: "Jia Gui's body is suddenly unwell, she has only seen you alone before, do you have any clue." β
Wen Ran shook his head: "When the concubine saw the nobleman, the nobleman seemed to be fine. β
But it was the noble concubine who couldn't help but be angry, and went straight to the point: "Do you wear musk on your body?" β
