The days after Emperor Hongwu Chu Zhaoye established a new one.
Today's new queen is the original Concubine Lin, the cousin of Emperor Hongwu.
The palace was full of joy, the lights were colorful, and even the snow on the ground seemed to glow red under the light.
In the Changchun Palace to the west of the palace, under the order of the new queen, the red light was also hung at the entrance of the palace, but the palace was still silent. After all, it is a cold palace, no matter how you make up it, it still reveals a dead air, except for the two eunuchs guarding the door, no one is popular to move around.
When he arrived, there were four palace lamps slowly approaching.
The two eunuchs saw that it was the chief eunuch of Queen Lin, Father-in-law Shun, with three eunuchs, and someone dragged behind, and the two hurriedly greeted: "Chief Shun, it's a cold day, why did you come here?" ”
"There's no way, the errand sent by the queen has to be done."
"That's, that's, who makes you the most powerful by the queen's side, who doesn't know in this palace, the queen will believe you." The older eunuch hurriedly flattered.
The younger eunuch also nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, it's a good day today, give you two a glass of wine, this is also the grace of the queen." The head of Shun lost a money bag to the two eunuchs, and if he is a human slave, he must know to help the master earn a good reputation, such a small amount of money, and when he turns around, he will naturally reward him a hundred times, "Open the door, the queen mother's grace, and give a glass of wine to the sin slaves inside." ”
"Thank you for the grace of the queen, the queen is merciful." The two eunuchs said, and pushed the door open, and now there is only one person in the Changchun Palace-the Yan family after the abolition, but the people around the queen think that even if she is abolished, she is promoted and called a slave.
As soon as the door opened, a dilapidated courtyard was revealed, and Father-in-law Shun and his party walked in familiarly.
"Father-in-law Liu, how did the queen mother think that she would give the person inside to drink?" The young eunuch asked softly, he had not been in the palace for a long time, and when he came in, he was assigned to the cold palace.
"You kid, the wine in the palace is not so delicious, it is estimated that it is the wine that sent her on the road, you keep your mouth shut, when you are blind and deaf, you can live longer, understand?"
The young eunuch opened his mouth in surprise and sighed again: "Alas, it's better to go on the road early, and to see her alive will suffer." ”
The old eunuch slapped him on the head: "I just told you to keep your mouth shut, what nonsense?" In the palace, life and death are grace. ”
The young eunuch touched his head, nodded again and again, and the two of them sat down against the door to roast the fire, just like just now.
Shun Gonggong went all the way in, walked to the penultimate room, and pouted at a eunuch in the back, the eunuch stepped forward, pushed the door open with a "squeak", and a foul smell rushed out.
Father-in-law Shun fanned his hand in disgust, "You two, go and drag people out." ”
There were two eunuchs who hung the palace lamp on the door of the room to illuminate it, and walked into the room with the stench, and in the innermost corner of the room, there was a wooden board on the ground, and there was a bunch of rags and cotton wool that could not see the color on it, and the two of them looked at it, and then found a clump of hair under the rags, and directly dragged the hair out, and the owner of the hair snorted in pain, and then was silent.
When Father-in-law Shun heard the humming sound, he was relieved, as long as he didn't die.
The two of them directly dragged the person out and threw it on the snow in the courtyard, and Shun's father-in-law took two steps closer, but he couldn't stand the stench anymore, and he retreated in disgust and said, "Yan, your grace is here." Today is the great day of the Holy Queen's canonization, and the Queen Mother sees that you are living a hard life and gives you a cup of happy wine. ”
When the man on the ground heard the canonization of the queen, he looked up slightly, and there was no sound again.
"By the way, the queen said that you have been noble, how can you not have someone to accompany you on the road? Look at that minion, do you still know him? Father-in-law Shun pointed to the person who was dragged in with him, "That's the green clothes that are most loyal to you." She is so loyal, she comes to you every day to bring medicine and food, and the queen takes pity on her and lets her form a pair of food with a few fathers-in-law! But she's not so blessed, she's stupid, the queen wants to give it back to you, let's go together. Come on, let her recognize someone, don't say that the mother didn't send the green clothes over. ”
The waste queen Yan on the ground heard the green clothes, desperately raised his head, and saw that twenty or thirty steps in front of him, there was a palace man kneeling, under the reflection of the two palace lights, only to see her hanging head and hair scattered, a body of clothes can no longer cover the body, and the exposed chest is full of traces of needle bayonet cuts.
"Ahh Yes! Yan, who had been silent, suddenly screamed like madness and crawled towards the green clothes.
"What's the hurry, I said let you go on the road together, hehe. Speaking of which, Green is much more like a person than you. Father-in-law Shun said and walked to the side of the green clothes, and lewdly reached out and pinched the chest of the green clothes, and the green clothes shrank for a moment, not moving or screaming, like a dead man.
Yan climbed more urgently, but her hands and feet were twisted in an abnormal state, obviously unable to use her strength, looking desperately crawling, but in fact she didn't even climb out of two steps.
"Okay, you've seen the people too, hurry up, feed them to drink, the queen said, throw them out of the palace as soon as possible." Father-in-law Shun watched her screaming and crawling like a monkey show, and after watching it for a long time, he felt that he had appreciated enough, and ordered.
Immediately someone came up with a jug of wine, poured two glasses of wine, and one of them poured one.
The poison in the wine made people feel painful as if their intestines were rotting, Yan screamed in pain, but he still crawled towards the green clothes, the palace man named green clothes were stimulated by the severe pain and seemed to finally wake up, and when he saw the person crawling towards him, he called "girl" and crawled towards the person.
Finally, Yan's hand touched the green dress, she still slowly crawled over, and then hugged the green dress head-on.
Finally, no one saw the bare skin in front of the green clothes anymore, and Yan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to turn himself into a dress to shield her from the wind.
"Girl! The green coat is coming! Green Yi muttered, and also reached out to hug Yan, and the two were silent.
Father-in-law Shun sneered, and let people step forward and probe the two of them to snort, "You two drag them to the West Corner Gate, and let the corpse carrier be thrown to the barren mountain." Let's go back to our lives. ”
Father-in-law Shun said that he would take people away, and the two people who stayed wanted to drag one person out first, but found that the Yan family was actually holding it tightly, and they couldn't be separated, and the two called the young eunuch who guarded the door to help together, but the three of them still couldn't be separated.
"Do you want to chop off your hand?" One of them asked.
"Forget it, just treat it as a good deed and let them do it together." The young eunuch guarding the door couldn't bear to say.
The other two looked at him with a smile, and then a cold wind blew, making people's cold hair stand on end: "Okay, then drag it out like this." The two men agreed, and together they dragged the two bodies out the door.
