Chapter 53: Exposure Room
Xu fell asleep, Zun took a superb Longjing tea handed over by Gao Qiming, overflowed with fragrant tea, took a sip, and asked idly: "Who is the punishment?" ”
"Oh, back to Your Majesty's words, last night's vigil, King Lijun couldn't stay up, under the pretext of changing clothes, he found a place to sleep, and disappeared for a whole hour, Prince Yu said, this must not be tolerated, so he received forty boards in the internal management supervision, and was almost killed!"
"King Lijun?"
Zun searched in memory...... To no avail. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Yes, Your Majesty, you may not be impressed, she is the sister of the first emperor, your aunt, the son of the eldest princess Yusheng, it's just that the eldest princess Yusheng has passed away for several years, and King Lijun will inevitably lose discipline."
"What else?"
"Also, it is the eldest grandson of the old prince, the son of the world. Taking advantage of a little effort to eat this afternoon, he pulled a beautiful little nun who was chanting the scriptures behind his back, with the intention of being rude, and the prince of Yu got the report, and he was angry, and sent it directly to the Shang Criminal Division, this time, those gentlemen were scared, and the rules were ......"
Zun knew that this Zhang Jian was the eldest in Xu's generation, and he was a few months older than his imperial uncle.
He asked again: "You said a basket, it is impossible for any child to be dragged to the exposure room, that is where the women of the harem make a big mistake, isn't it?" ”
Gao Qiming's face was sweaty, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, Xu Shizi Xu has listened to the errand." ”
"Did he listen? He said that there were hundreds of ghosts in every room there, and that was called a bad listener. Zun raised his head, and his eyes were sharp.
Gao Qiming hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" ”
"Isn't it...... Cao Xiuyi found fault and beat the palace maid of Yongning Palace into the exposure room? ”
Gao Qiming's head was about to shake off, "Your Majesty!" No! Definitely not! ”
Zun's suspicion was firmly denied, so he said, "Hmm...... That's it. ”
At this moment, Gao Qiming was confused, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Does Your Majesty want the palace maids of Yongning Palace to be beaten into the exposed room, or do you not want to?" ”
Zun glanced at him: What do you say? ”
Gao Qiming breathed a sigh of relief, "Naturally, it's hope!" In fact, Cao Xiuyi's mother said that she was pregnant and did not want to kill many things, otherwise, she would have left none of the slaves and maids in Yongning Palace and dug a pit for the first emperor to be buried, so the empress dowager only put the empress dowager into the exposed room, and she would not have grain for three days and three nights. ”
“……”
The emperor's silence, Gao Qiming inexplicably felt uneasy in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Xiuyi Niangniang is always as merciful as a Bodhisattva, if you feel that this matter is not in place, the slave will lead people over to make Yongning Palace not a single person alive!" ”
"What mistake did she make with the Empress Dowager of Yongning Palace?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that she made a big mistake, she heard that Xiuyi Niangniang was pregnant, and felt that she was blocking the way of King Shou to be the prince, so she was anxious, pinched her neck and pushed Xiuyi Niangniang to the sacrifice of burning paper, and wanted to put it to death, but fortunately there were many people at that time, and she pulled it away."
Zun's gaze flickered a few times, "And then?" ”
"Oh, if you want to talk about fighting, where is Sven's mother the opponent of that shrew? Falling on the sacrificial tripod, his feet twisted like steamed buns, and his sleeves were scorched, and his appearance was terrible. The palace people were afraid that the queen mother would continue to commit murder, so they hurriedly returned to the queen mother, and the queen mother asked someone to call the queen mother to question, so many pairs of eyes looked at it, the queen mother could not deny it, and immediately relented, saying that if the child in Cao Xiuyi's belly had something to do, she would die on the palace pillar to resist her life. ”
"Fortunately, the dragon heir was safe and sound, and the Empress Dowager was furious because of this, and put the Empress Dowager into the exposé room and claustrophobic, and stopped for three days and three nights."
Zun's hand couldn't suppress a slight tremor and put the teacup down, "How long has it been?" ”
Gao Qiming said: "Oh, from last night to now, there have been two nights in one day......"
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! Where are you going?
As he spoke, he saw the emperor rush out of the palace......
Sun Desheng, the former emperor, led a few chefs who had brought supper to come in, because he asked, "Where has Your Majesty gone?" Panicked? ”
"Do you still need to ask? As soon as she heard that Xiuyi Niangniang was injured, she was naturally anxious to visit Yanchun Palace. Gao Qiming said firmly.
Yi Li once thought that he was carrying his master on the battlefield, with small pointed ears like oblique bamboo tubes, and suddenly determined, the wind entered the four hooves lightly, rolled up layers of white paper money on the ground, flew and fluttered, and ran away.
Out of the west of the six institutes, there is a long alley, at the end of which is the cold palace.
The exposure room, located at the beginning of Yongxiang, is the place where the inner court weaves.
Exudes a special pungent smell of plant dyes and soap alum mixed together, the whole building is dominated by a hundred acres of bluestone drying field, clothes poles stand in a forest, at this time there are tens of thousands of white silk silk silk silk, flying with the night wind, are made for the fierce ceremony, there are countless dye vats around the drying field, at least 500 people are serving hard labor here, they live in rows of gray brick houses.
In fact, the weaving office of the entire Daxing Mansion, the people of the major dyeing workshops are blind, in order to produce more white, and then all the items related to the funeral are expensive, every place is sold out, and it is difficult to find a thing.
When he arrived at the place, Zun had to control the wild Yili, and the four cold black iron gates facing south were all open, and there were carriages carrying cloth in and out.
Slowly entering the bluestone floor, what caught my eye was a few healthy women carrying big wooden sticks, with huge bodies, like earth mothers, shouting at the women who worked to move quickly.
They are also subordinates of the Internal Superintendent and are responsible for managing the dyehouse.
One of the stupid women who realized it later, didn't see that the partners next to her were kneeling on the ground, standing stunned, putting five small radish like fingers into the bloody mouth, her eyes were like copper bells, and she looked at the beautiful young man with a tall head and a black horse in front of her, a silver embroidered gold dragon robe, and a silver dragon crown in her hair, and spoke incoherently: Ah! Yikes! Look! This...... Who is it?
"Where is the Queen Mother?" The impatient Zunqiang couldn't resist the whip in his hand and whipped it at the rude woman.
See...... Emperor...... No, Your Majesty! If you are in a hurry, the slaves and maids will pour poisonous dye into her, but the father-in-law of the internal supervision said that when Xiuyi Niangniang didn't want them to get out of the house and collect the corpse, they found that they were poisoned......
This woman usually talks a lot, but today in order to please the emperor, she has to behave well.
Suddenly, his neck hurt, and his protruding eyes looked down, and he found a bright knife on his neck, and the liquid flowed out, dripping, it was his own blood......
She didn't move, her soul flew out of the sky, and she didn't know which of her words was inappropriate, the young emperor looked extremely handsome, but he didn't blink an eye when he killed.
Fortunately, the other party took the blade.
Behind the gray brick houses, there were black rooms half-cut into the earth, and there were at least fifty of them, like coffins about to be buried.
She stumbled to lead the way to one of the rooms, but because of her nervousness, the key could not be inserted into the big lock anyway....
But don't bother, the thick iron gate was unloaded by the emperor with one move, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang.
It was as black as hell, rotten, moldy, and bloody, and even on summer nights, it was cold, eerie, and smelled like a slaughterhouse.
Another woman held up a white paper lantern and found the girl in white lying motionless on the ground.
Zun leaned over and hugged him, "Hey! Wake up!! ”
Without a sound, the women saw that the girl's face was flushed like a cochineal dye.
"Your Majesty, put her down quickly! She was poisoned by the evil qi corpse, and when the people from the Tofu family confirmed it, the slaves and maids dragged her to the Shang Punishment Division and threw her into the corpse refining furnace......"
They were dumbfounded as they spoke, because the young emperor directly imprinted his lips on the forehead of the maiden queen mother to test the temperature, but apparently it was scalded by the final heat emitted by the dying man.
After a long period of dehydration, her flower-like lips became pale and chapped, and people can last for about three days without drinking water, but patients with febrile convulsions consume too much, and now they have reached the limit.
"Bring the water!"
At the emperor's will, the two women scrambled out, and not far from the door, there was a light scooping bamboo bamboo from the spring.
In the blink of an eye, one of them held a long-handled wooden scoop and the other held a bamboo tube, and they ran over with their lives.
Zun looked at the slender bamboo tube, although it was good, but I don't know who used it, and no one dared to use the long-handled wooden scoop.
So he chose a long-handled wooden scoop, and he looked at the comatose patient, apparently unable to swallow himself.
Stay at the door and don't let people in......
The two hurriedly went out, facing outward, and their huge bodies blocked the ruined doorway.
After that, what the emperor did, they didn't know, and they didn't dare to look back.
Zun drank water, pinched the patient's nose, and poured it mouth to mouth, although there were some gushing out of the corners of her mouth, but she clearly had the instinct to survive.
Anyway, after scooping and drinking, he didn't dare to give too much at once.
Holding tightly with one hand, he told the two women at the door to get out of the way, go out, grab the reins of the horse, step on Yili, and walk away.
Behind him, everyone worshiped one after another like wheat waves and looked dazed. (To be continued)
