178 Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
Prince Li walked out of Concubine Liu's Biyun Courtyard, thought about it, and went to Princess Li's Qiushuang Courtyard.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw Mama Chen frowning, and her face was slightly gloomy, and she personally went to the house with a basin of hot water.
Seeing that the courtyard was extremely quiet, and the maid seemed to be walking lighter than usual, Prince Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the hot water basin in Mama Chen's hand, and then swept the closed doors and windows, and said, "But the princess has a headache again?" ”
Mama Chen sighed and nodded, "The princess was a little uncomfortable last night, and the headache suddenly worsened when she woke up today. I've just drunk the medicine and I'm lying down. ”
When Prince Li heard this, he motioned for Mama Chen to enter the house, and the maid raised the curtains, and Prince Li took the lead in entering the house and entered the house with light steps.
Prince Li and Princess Li have a headache, and when she has a headache, she is afraid of cold and wind, and she is in pain, and the imperial doctors have used all methods, but they have not improved much.
If it is getting cooler today, the cold wind will be together, and the princess's head wind disease will indeed be committed again. The windows were tightly closed, a thick curtain was covered, and two charcoal basins were placed.
As soon as Prince Li entered the inner room, he felt stuffy and tight, and looked, Prince Li was wearing a plain white silk satin obscene dress, lying on the bed with her hair scattered, her beautiful brows were tightly wrung up, her face and head were sweaty, but there were still two circles of red wiping on her forehead.
Prince Li frowned and motioned for Mama Chen to step forward. There are calming drugs in Princess Li's decoction, and she is already a little confused at the moment, Mama Chen stepped forward and gently put a basin of water, twisted the handkerchief, untied the forehead wipe on Princess Li's head, wiped the sweat, and replaced it with a new forehead.
Prince Li seemed to be more comfortable, although her eyebrows were still twisted, her breathing was a little calmer.
Seeing her like this, Prince Li stood for a moment, then quietly walked out of the house and instructed Mama Chen, "Take good care of the princess." ”
Mama Chen nodded yes, but said, "What is the prince here this time?" ”
Prince Li's face flashed a little uncomfortable, he was not a fool, Qin Jian rushed into Biyun Courtyard just when he was there, and impulsively scolded his mother-in-law, this matter made Prince Li feel that there must be something wrong, came to Prince Li, first, I wanted to talk about Biyun Courtyard, so that Prince Li could find out. I also want to ask Gu Qing about the evening, if it is really like what Qin Jian said, there are no rules for petting, it is best to beat one or two, after all, the rules of the palace cannot be messy, and there has always been no lack of wealth and unevenness, and there are also a few side concubines in the palace, if there is a deviation, it is easy to cause trouble.
At this moment, he looked at the princess like this, thinking that the huge palace wanted the princess to take care of it, and his side room was still causing chaos, and he was embarrassed to say it, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Thinking of the reason why Prince Li fell into the head wind, it was because of some trouble in the concubine's room when she was born Qin Yu, and the confinement was not able to sit well, Prince Li felt even more faceless, waved his hand at Mama Chen, and said: "It's nothing, Mama is waiting for her life, if it doesn't work, hurry up and invite the imperial doctor to come." ”
He said goodbye and strode away.
Mama Chen watched Prince Li leave, so she beckoned a little maid and ordered: "You go and inquire, where did the prince come from, but something happened." ”
The little maid Ying Nuo ran out, and after a while, Prince Li lost his temper in Biyun Courtyard, beat the staff of the king of the three counties and threw it to the ancestral hall, and grounded Concubine Liu, and said: "Now that Biyun Courtyard has sealed the courtyard, the slave maid has not asked why the prince is so annoyed. ”
Mama Chen twisted her eyebrows, but didn't say anything more.
Qin Yu picked up Gu Qingwan, and the two walked around a few places outside, and only returned to the palace in the middle of the afternoon.
Before returning to the Snow Courtyard, Qin Yu was summoned by Prince Li, he entered the study, Prince Li was writing in front of the bookcase, and when he saw Qin Yu coming in, he didn't look up, but said: "Come and see if my father's words have improved." ”
Qin Yuhu glanced at Prince Li suspiciously, and went around to the back of the bookcase, but saw four words written on the good rice paper, self-cultivation, Qi family.
Don't mention the words, this writing made Qin Yu sigh and said, "Father is old, and the pen is not good." This word doesn't look like it used to be. ”
In two sentences, the angry Prince Li almost didn't throw the wolf in his hand on Qin Yu's face, endured it, and then said: "If you don't understand, get out of the way for Lao Tzu, it's good to be strong and powerful, but you also have to be able to hide the edge, the word this king is natural, what does the stinky boy know!" ”
After he said that, he put down the brush, sat down, and then looked at Qin Yu and said, "Where did you go?" ”
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Go out and take a casual stroll." ”
Prince Li snorted coldly and said, "Shopping? Did you take your woman back to her mother's house? The next time you are impeached, you should have someone break your spine, Lao Tzu sees that you think Lao Tzu beat you too lightly! ”
The emperor asked the staff to reprimand the Qin Imperial Fifty Court Staff, and Prince Li was afraid that the emperor would do something and break the Qin Imperial Court, so he took the court staff himself, and his own hands, although the blood was dripping, but the flesh was not hurt.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and a cold color flashed in his heterochromatic eyes, and said: "The news of my father is really fast enough, let my son guess which concubine of my father accidentally revealed it to my father?" Tsk, my father's concubine is staring at my master every day, and my father said what are they thinking? It can't be that you like a master, right? ”
Prince Li almost didn't vomit blood, raised his foot and kicked Qin Yu, but Qin Yu flashed three steps away, stood in the middle of the study, and said, "Isn't it that the master is right, my father is angry, right?" ”
He talked sentence by sentence, and was committed to making Prince Li angry, Prince Li's chest rose and fell, but he also knew that in the past, when Qin Yu's brother was young, he really suffered two big losses from his concubine, and since then, Qin Yu has not had a few good words for him.
was furious, thinking of the appearance of Prince Li and Princess Li that he had just seen, Prince Li felt a little powerless, but he didn't break out in the end, he only said angrily: "You spoil women, this king can't control it, but it's too much to exceed the rules!" Although this king never admits to spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, haven't you always thought of this king like this? If you can't get used to it, then Mo Xueren spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and slapped himself in the face. ”
Hearing this, Qin Yu pursed his lips and nodded: "Father, you still have to worry a lot about your concubines, tsk, your own woman is making trouble, and she will beat me." I don't dare to guarantee the things next to the master, but I dare to guarantee that the master's back house must be the purest, so I won't bother my father. ”
He doesn't even want to marry his wife, the back house is just such a woman, he just spoils her to the sky, and his back house can't make any trouble.
Qin Yu said, turned around and left.
Prince Li just called Qin Yu over to mention a few words, Qin Yu in the province was like when he was young, he was reckless and wanton, took a lot of detours, and now he is not in harmony with his son, where did he think, but he said a few more words, but he was half angry by Qin Yu.
Seeing Qin Yu's back standing tall and walking towards the door, he couldn't hold back, grabbed the inkstone and threw it over, Qin Yu dodged away, opened the door and walked out without looking back.
He walked out of Prince Li's courtyard and returned to the Snow Courtyard Courtyard, Gu Qingwan had already changed into a comfortable blue lotus-colored regular clothes, and was leaning on the beauty couch drinking tea and teasing the rabbit, while listening to Wen Qing's words.
"I knew that the prince ordered the Biyun Courtyard of Concubine Liu to be sealed, and ordered Concubine Liu to think about it behind closed doors. After the third master was scolded by the cane, he was thrown into the ancestral hall. ”
Qin Yu heard Wen Qing say this when he entered the room, he hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, and waved his hand to order Wen Qing to go down.
Gu Qingwan saw Qin Yu come in, moved in, Qin Yu sat next to her, took the tea cup in Gu Qingwan's hand and raised his head to drink two sips.
Seeing that he was still looking happy when he returned home, although his face was expressionless, it was clear that his feelings were not good, Gu Qingwan raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Yu stroked Gu Qingwan's cool cheeks and said, "It's nothing, master go to the concubine to take a look." ”
After he said that, he stood up, Gu Qingwan was about to get up, Qin Yu pressed her shoulder, and said, "You can rest." ”
Saying that, he picked out an ink-colored regular dress and went into the clean room, he sorted it out, and Gu Qing said to Tutu in the evening: "It seems that there is something going on in Concubine Liu's affairs." ”
However, Concubine Liu is the side room of Prince Li, and Gu Qingwan never thought that this matter would involve her. She thought that she and Concubine Liu had nothing to do with each other, so she threw away the matter in a blink of an eye.
At that time, Qin Yu entered the Qiushuang Courtyard only to learn that the princess of Li had committed another crime, and went into the house to talk to the princess for a while, and personally served the princess and princess of Li with a decoction, and then he withdrew.
Mama Chen sent it out, and Qin Yu said, "What's going on in Biyun Courtyard?" ”
He thought that one of Prince Li's concubines had taken eye medicine in front of Prince Li, so Prince Li found him, but he didn't think that Concubine Liu and Qin Jian were severely punished. There's something wrong with this, so I can't help but ask.
It has been two hours since the incident, and Mama Chen, as a confidant of Prince Li, naturally will not let such a bad thing reach the ears of Princess Li, but Mama Chen has also found out.
Qin Yu asked, and Mama Chen told what happened in Biyun Courtyard, and it was not far from what happened at that time, and she said again: "After a while, the princess will sleep, and the slave will go to Linghan Courtyard to deal with this matter." ”
Obviously, there was something wrong with Ling Hanyuan, otherwise the scene of Qin Yu and Gu Qing getting along at night, as well as Qin Yu's opening of the treasury to pick up gifts today, how could it have reached Qin Jian's ears so quickly.
Qin Yu waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "Mama takes good care of the mother concubine, Ling Hanyuan is the master's courtyard, and there are people who dare to eat inside and out, and it is also the master's business to clean up." ”
He strode out, and Mama Chen didn't say anything more.
When Qin Yu entered the Ling Han Courtyard, he ordered Song Ning to move a Taishi chair and sit under the cloister, and ordered: "Call out all the maids and daughters in the Ling Han Courtyard, by the way, send someone to the Snow Courtyard and bring all the maids and women in the Snow Courtyard over." ”
After a stick of incense, more than 50 people from Ling Han Courtyard and Xuejing Courtyard knelt in the courtyard, and today's matter of Prince Li's punishment of Concubine Liu and the third master has spread throughout the whole mansion, and everyone already knows about it. But no one knows why.
At this time, Qin Yu put on such a posture, and everyone was inevitably worried, and their faces were not very good. So many people knelt in the courtyard and didn't dare to make a sound.
Only the sound of the teacup lid in Qin Yu's hand gently hitting the rim of the cup knocked down in people's hearts.
Qin Yu took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, raised his lips and said: "I heard that the house is now rumored about the lord's favorite concubine, and what he said is really a nose and eyes, and even the private things in the master's house are said to be the head, today and today opened the warehouse, what did you take, and where did you go, it is like a number of treasures, all of which have reached the ears of the third master, what's the matter, is the master who has been out of the house for too long, and the people don't understand the rules?" In this case, when the master is idle today, he will personally teach you the rules. ”
After he said that, Song Ning took a step forward and said, "Who chewed his tongue and went out, it's best to stand up now, otherwise if the interrogation comes out after a while, don't blame the second master for getting angry." If anyone knows anything, they should also stand up and say clearly, if the merit should be recorded, if it is concealed and not reported, it will be tantamount to disobedience to the Lord! ”
The fifty or so people below were silent, but there was no sound, and no one stood up.
Qin Yu sneered and said, "Since no one knows, let's use the punishment." ”
Song Ning replied and said, "Whoever has ever been out of Ling Han Courtyard today, all stand up!" ”
Song Ning's voice fell, but a mother-in-law stood up with a pale face, and said tremblingly: "Huh...... The second master, the slave maid went to the big kitchen with the third-class maid Qiujuan today to get the food box for breakfast, and met the third master's maid Shisu girl on the way. Qiu Juan instructed the slaves and maids to come back first with food boxes, and talk to Zisu behind them. ”
After this mother-in-law said anything, several more mothers-in-law stood up to confirm her words.
Song Ning nodded and said, "Who is Qiu Juan?" ”
The crowd automatically separated, and a maid with a pale face and trembling legs like chaff was isolated, seeing Song Ning staring at her, Qiu Juan knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed, and received Song Ning's oppressive gaze, and immediately admitted it, only saying that Qin Yu opened the treasury and other things in Ling Hanyuan, which she said to Zisu.
The little girl has a lively temperament and loves to chew her tongue.
Seeing that she confessed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the kneeling Qiujuan on the ground sympathetically.
Song Ning said, "Oh? You are a third-class maid, and you can't enter the master's house at all, how do you know about the master's house? ”
Qiu Juan's teeth chattered, Song Ning glanced at the second-class and first-class maids, and Yingxia and Wen Yu suddenly turned two points whiter.
Qiu Juan cried and said: "It was the slave and the maid who overheard, a few days ago, Sister Yingxia told the slave and maid to go to the pantry to get some hot water, and the slave and maid overheard Wen He and Wen Lu talking about the second master and Miss Gu in the pantry, and the slave and maid overheard. The slave and the slave are fellow villagers, Zisu asked about Miss Gu today, the slave and the maid are just gossips, the slave and the maid don't know that this can't be passed on, the slave and the maid are not intentional, the slave and the maid are not keeping their mouths shut, the slave and the maid are not disobedient to the master, the second master spares his life! The second master spares his life! ”
Qiu Juan slammed his head and kowtowed, but Song Ning said coldly: "If you don't speak outside, you can't speak inside." These rules should have been taught by the grandmothers when you entered the mansion, and the master's tongue dared to chew and beg for mercy!? ”
He looked at Qin Yu, but Qin Yu asked, "Wen He, which one is Wen Lu?" ”
The corners of Song Ning's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the master let a slave be thrown out of the house, and that is Wen Lu." Later, the princess asked Mama Chen to check on Wen Lu's affairs, and Wen He was also involved, and the two maids had already been kicked out of the house. ”
When Qin Yu heard this, he lightly ordered: "In this way, I will reward the disobedient maid with a few whips." After he spoke, he glanced at the silent crowd in the courtyard, and said, "It's all a good life!" ”
As soon as Song Ning heard that Emperor Qin had convicted Qiu Juan of disobedience, and said that everyone should watch the ceremony, he knew what to do.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, and immediately he didn't need to make the mother-in-law do it, and the guards of the Hanmo Courtyard pulled the autumn juan up, and someone moved a high shelf to support it in the middle of the courtyard.
The guards hung the crying Qiujuan on the shelf with a bundle of hands, and Song Ning waved it over, and the sound of the whip sounded like a thunderbolt in the courtyard, echoing in everyone's ears.
As soon as the whip went down, the autumn cuckoo who had been crying was thrown open and flesh was thrown off, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, making a terrible scream. With only three whips, Qiu Juan became a bloody man, and he couldn't even make a sound, but his mouth was overflowing with blood foam, and it was obvious that these three whips alone had broken Qiu Juan's internal organs.
Song Ning saw that Qiu Juan was dying, and stepped forward and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" But someone instructed you to lure you into telling the story of Ling Hanyuan? ”
Qiu Juan only shook his head weakly, and said intermittently: "Spare ...... life"
Song Ning glanced at Qin Yu, and when Qin Yu saw that nothing came out of the interrogation, he stood up and walked outside, and he walked out of Ling Han's courtyard. Song Ningcai threw another whip, this whip went down, the whip tail wrapped around Qiu Juan's neck, directly ripped off the neck bone, and the whip fell Qiu Juan's head weirdly drooped down, as if there was only a line of flesh attached to the shoulders and hung on the body.
Qin Yu let everyone watch the ceremony, everyone didn't dare to disobey the order, and watched Song Ning whip Qiu Juan to death with a few whips, the timid ones had already covered their mouths and collapsed to the ground, some hugged each other and shook together, and a few of them were still standing, but their legs were trembling.
Song Ning threw away the whip and raised his voice: "This is the end of chewing tongue and disobeying the master, if the Linghan Courtyard and the Xuejing Courtyard serve in the future, if the matter of the second master and Aunt Gu is spread to the outside world, and the inside and outside are found out, she will be a lesson from the past." ”
Song Ning said, and deliberately glanced at the first-class maid, just because these people were all serving closely, and the master's affairs knew the most clearly.
Song Ning looked over and saw that the three maids who had just been arranged by Prince Yingxia and Princess Heli to enter the Ling Han Courtyard had all fallen to the ground at this moment, all of them with colorless faces and covering their mouths. Yingxia stared at the autumn cuckoo that was still hanging with frightened eyes, as if she had seen some powerful ghost, and kicked her legs back and kept retreating.
Because everyone's reaction was similar, Song Ning didn't pay much attention to it, but there was a maid who was still standing among the first-class maids, although her face was also extremely pale, she hung her head in fright, at least she was still standing, and there was even a maid on her body.
This maid stood out from the crowd, and Song Ning inevitably took a second look.
Wen Qing is also the maid of the Snow Scene Courtyard, so naturally she also came to watch, Wen Yu was paralyzed on Wen Qing's body at the moment, Wen Qing tried her best to stand firm, but her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, her hand holding Wen Yu was forced, and her nails had been inserted into Wen Yu's flesh, Wen Yu couldn't feel it, and kept drilling into her arms.
Wen Qing also held Wen Yu tightly, wanting to draw some strength from the other party, but suddenly, she felt a line of sight, and instinctively raised her eyes, which were already a little dull, but collided with Song Ning's inquiring sight.
Wen Qing's eyes widened, and then he suddenly lowered his head in a trembling manner.
The girl's face was snow-white, and her eyes were getting darker and darker, and she was so frightened that her eyes were scattered, but when she met her gaze, she instantly had a focus, like a frightened fawn seeing a tiger, and she avoided it in horror.
Glancing at Wen Qing's fingers that pinched into Wen Yu's arm, and then at Wen Qing's stiff and straight waist, Song Ning was inexplicably amused.
It seems that this trick is really effective, and it is not easy to scare. It's just that he doesn't pity the fragrance and cherishes the jade, why does the second master always hand it over to him, hey, look at this one by one, he treats him as a tiger and wolf, and he is evil.
Thinking of the girl's dark eyes full of fear and evasion, Song Ning touched his nose, coughed and waved his hand, and then two guards stepped forward to put down the Qiu Juan who was disobedient to the lord and dragged him out.
