The execution continued, but Ah Xiu, who had made up her mind, no longer avoided this cruel scene, not only that, but she also sat up straight, deliberately met the eyes that stared at her, and responded to the hateful gaze with a determined look. As if to tell her: "You will never have the opportunity to hurt the people I care about again, let alone hurt me!" ”

The time seems to be stretched, the time of a stick of incense is like a century, suddenly Zhao Shi let out a muffled scream, fainted, the sergeant of the execution went up and pressed her lower abdomen, and called a mother-in-law who was in charge of menstruation, the mother-in-law came from the outer house, not like she was very experienced, pressed her stomach, pinched her pelvis, thought twice, and then turned around and discussed it with the sergeant, the sergeant frowned, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed his head and said: "Lord Qiqi, the execution has been completed, but the mother-in-law who examined the sentence is not very sure, and wants to take a look at it in addition to the clothes." , please make a decision. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What kind of mother-in-law is this, this point will not be tested?" Just about to give an order, he remembered that he didn't ask Ah Xiu, so he turned around and asked Ah Xiu: "I need to remove my clothes and inspect them now, Ah Xiu, what do you think?" Ah Xiu bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Since this is the punishment of the official family, it is inconvenient for the concubine to say more, it is all up to the prince's decision." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, looked back and said, "Let her test carefully!" The sergeant and the mother-in-law received the order, and the mother-in-law was not polite, and ordered the little girl to bring the basin of water, and then stepped forward again, held back the fishy face, pinched her nose, and pulled Zhao's pants off with a stretch of her hand.

Fortunately, the upper body of the prisoner's robe was relatively wide, hanging down to the knees, and the private parts were not exposed, so as to avoid a little shame. The mother-in-law reached out to the bottom of Zhao's body and probed carefully, and with great force, she pulled her hand out, washed off the blood on her hands in the basin on the side, and did not help Zhao lift her pants, but just whispered a word to the sergeant and stepped aside. The sergeant who replied in front stepped forward and replied: "The claustrophobic execution has been completed, please show the prince." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, stood up and cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"The slut Zhao family, who was originally the princess's old servant, was born in a low background, and was once promoted to a side room, not only did she miss the grace of the past, but also repeatedly used her tongue to confuse the lord and instigate the master, scheming and insidious, unclear respect and humility, and a great rebellion against women. Now he wants to poison the concubine with arsenic and replace it. Secretly committing treachery is really heinous! The offence committed shall be punished by Ling Chi. In the previous time, the princess asked for the title of concubine, and once gave birth to a son for this king, and also served as a daughter of an official position in ancient times, and the extreme crime is the punishment of the head. What's more, today is the joy of the moon for the two children, and they don't like to kill, but now they are downgraded by one level and claustrophobic! Set an example! ”

He also said: "Now that the execution has been completed, the criminal woman Zhao will be escorted back to the yamen and imprisoned for life!" Everyone was already frightened, and when they heard this, they buried their heads deeply, secretly frightened. The sergeants received the order, lifted Zhao's pants indiscriminately, and untied the rope. Zhao had already collapsed after being tortured, fell to the ground, and curled up in pain. The hair flew around, and the prison clothes were thrown away, white, white, black, and black, as if the ghost was crawling out of the underground, which was shocking. A few sergeants tried to pull her up, but she had already drowned in the previous feces and was stained with a little blood, and now she threw herself on the ground, already muddy and filthy.

Zhao took out the gag handkerchief himself, and gasped for a few breaths, I am afraid that it affected the injury, but the pain was so painful that he couldn't move anymore, just curled up with a low voice and rapid gasp. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone didn't do anything, and Zhao's lying on his stomach like this was really an eyesore, so he coughed in displeasure, and those sergeants saw that the prince's face was not good, so they could only bite the bullet, and a few people together, took the court staff and lifted Zhao's upper body cross, ready to drag it out.

Ah Xiu couldn't bear it a little, and when he wanted to avoid his eyes, he thought about all the things before, and thought that he had made up his mind and would no longer be a good person in vain, so he didn't shy away from staring straight ahead. Unexpectedly, when the Zhao family was forked up, he raised his face to find the direction of Ah Xiu, spit out a mouthful of bloodshot spit, and shouted with a miserable laugh: "Slut! I won't let you go!! ......" was about to shout again, but a sergeant was afraid of angering Zhu Yuanzhang, so he stepped forward and gave her an ear scraper, and picked up the gag's hand towel from the ground, and directly stuffed Zhao's mouth regardless of the pickle.

Zhao couldn't shout, her miserable white face was still desperately lifted, her eyes were staring at Ah Xiu, she knew that this was the last time she saw Ah Xiu, and she wanted to engrave the appearance of this woman into her heart. Ah Xiu saw that her eyebrows were locked tightly because of anger, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were seductive and moist had already faded from the water, and the corners of her eyes were almost cracked, staring at herself, and she felt shocked: What a pair of eyes full of hatred! Terrible woman, I have never been sorry for you, you can hate me to this point for the sake of power! However, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to be my enemy again, so why am I afraid that you will look at me?! So he looked back at her calmly. This is the final eye duel between the two.

The person was forked away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone, and said: "From today onwards, if there are such dangerous people in the mansion, they will be guilty of crimes, and they will take care of themselves!" The affairs of the palace are all decided by the princess of the palace. If there is anyone who dares to take risks and seize power because of the princess's kindness, even if she passes her level, I will not be able to pass it! At that time, they will be severely punished! No matter how lightly it is! Can you hear me?! Everyone was silent, and they all claimed to be.

Since it has played a deterrent role, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This king is still going to the army to deal with affairs, so let's disperse." After that, I said hello to Ah Xiu, changed my clothes and went out of the house. Here Ah Xiu dismissed everyone, relaxed his spirit, and felt a little dizzy, the little red warbler just came to stand beside her, and saw that Ah Xiu's face was not good, so they helped her together, and wanted to send Ah Xiu back to the room, Ah Xiu shook his head, but went to Hu's room to visit first.

The people who came back from Hu's room were learning the previous things for Hu's, and when they heard outsiders greeting Ah Xiu, they were busy and stood up straight to salute Ah Xiu. Hu Shi was about to get up again, Ah Xiu hurriedly asked the girls to stop her, and Hu had to lie down again, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes. Ah Xiuluo frowned, and said to those subordinates: "Your concubine has just come out of confinement, and she has been poisoned again today, so why bother to tell her these taboo words." Now let her be quiet. Everyone nodded in response, Ah Xiu left the two girls who were close to the Hu family, and the others were let out, and they didn't sit on the chairs brought by the people on the side, and let Xiaohong go down, only letting Ying'er sit on the edge of the bed.

wiped Hu's tears with his own handkerchief, Ah Xiu sighed and persuaded her: "Now that I have been poisoned and am sick, why bother listening to these idle things?!" She was wrong, the prince punished her and avoided death, what else do you care? Take good care of your body, Zhen'er is full of moon today, with joy, and her sister is also a blessed person, so her life is safe. Don't hurt yourself for any of these things! ”

Hu Shi cried even more, choked up and said: "When I was a child in Shengzhen a few days ago, I spent a lot of time on my sister, but now it's not my sister who used the method, and let the concubine take salt water and vomit out the poison in time, and found the steamed bun charcoal mung bean water and egg white emergency, even if the concubine is hard, where is the life?!" Now my sister has saved my life twice, and she is relieved for me, how can I repay such a great kindness? ! ”

Ah Xiu shook his head and smiled: "You are talking about outsiders, I am not the person who likes to be polite, you and I have only been together for a short time, I don't know how much I don't like to see outsiders, but you should have heard of how the two sisters of Huilan and Lian'er are ordinary and me, right?!" Why bother saying these things? I am also the mother of the child, so I naturally know the difficulty of being a mother, not to mention what kind of identity the prince is, and the more children and grandchildren the better! ”

Hu Shi was about to say something more, but Ah Xiu covered her mouth with her hand: "Don't say it, your body is still weak, someone is outside." After speaking, sure enough, two adults and a bunch of children came in, but it was Huilan Lian'er who brought the children to find Ah Xiu. Hu was about to salute the two, but Ah Xiu gently pressed her with his hand, signaled Hu with his eyes that he didn't need to be polite, turned to them and smiled: "I heard someone, but it was the two of you." Then he said to the children, "Come, children, say hello to Mrs. Side Concubine." Zhu Biao nodded, and several younger siblings saluted the Hu family.

Ah Xiu didn't let Hu return the courtesy, said goodbye to her, let her take care of her, and instructed the two girls to serve well, and talk back to herself if she lacked anything. Then he took the children with him, let Ying'er support him, and went back to his room with Huilan Lian'er. On the way, he saw Zhu Di sullen, so he asked: "Di'er, sue Wang Niang, why are you unhappy." Zhu Di raised his head, his dark and bright eyes, stared at Ah Xiu and said, "I miss my mother's ......."

Lian'er coughed hurriedly, Ah Xiu glanced at her, shook her head, bowed her head and said to Zhu Di: "Di'er, Wang Niang wants to ask Di'er, did the gentleman who taught you read say that you will be punished if you do something wrong?" Zhu Di nodded: "I said it!" Ah Xiu smiled, touched his head and said, "Your mother made a mistake, and the prince asked someone to punish her to live somewhere else, understand?" ”

Zhu Di flattened his mouth, shook his head and said with a crying voice: "But Di'er misses her mother, Wang Niang, when will Di'er's mother come back?" Ah Xiu sighed and said: "Di'er, Huilan Niang will be your mother in the future, don't mention your mother again, her mistake is very big, and the prince will punish her." If you miss your mother in the future, you should grow up quickly, it's best to forget about jì, even if you can't forget it, don't talk to others about it, so as not to make the prince angry, understand! ”

Di'er twisted her body, Biao'er went to coax him, Di'er shook off his hand: "Go away!" You don't like Di'er
