Chapter 177: Intercession

Su Zhao'er said: "Niangniang, the concubine also thinks it's better to ask, don't wronged a good person." ”

If it weren't for the emperor's presence, Yin Li would have liked to slap Su Zhao'er on the spot, but the queen's appearance still had to be pretended, after all, she was still pregnant with the emperor's blood, so she smiled and said: "Su Gong people, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's better not to get involved." ”

Liu Zhao thought for a while, glanced at Yin Li and said: "Sui'er and Zhao'er's words make sense, go to Xuanyang Palace!" ”

"No need for the emperor to announce it, the concubine Yang Zhen asks to see him!" Outside the hall, the voices of the people of Yang Palace came from.

Liu Zhao was stunned and said, "Come in!" ”

Yang Zhen is Wei Wei after waiting, his appearance is very beautiful, his skin looks like greasy, crescent eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a big mouth under his nose is smiling with anger, but at this time he is slightly panting, and the two dimples appear from time to time, such as fog cage peony and rain run begonia. She saluted, fixed her mind and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, and I have come to ask the emperor and queen for guilt." ”

Yin Li returned to the main seat and sat down, raised her eyelids, and said coldly: "What crime do you have, say it yourself, the emperor and the palace don't rub sand in their eyes, this crime of disrupting the court is not light." ”

Sui'er said, "Sister, don't panic, if there's something, say it slowly." ”

Seeing that she was selling well, Yin Li glared at her fiercely and said, "Okay, since Deng Guiren has said so, you can sit down, take a sip of tea, and calm down." ”

Yang Gongren smiled and said, "It's not necessary!" She knelt on her knees again, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this Shunxi is a slave in my palace, and I have taken him more seriously because I saw that he was diligent and down-to-earth." He is also sensible. is busy before and after, but also for the concubine. There is a palace maid in my palace, called the fifth sister, but the person has a bit of a look, one day he begged me, saying that he was in love with the fifth sister, and begged me to be fulfilled. I also think he is a eunuch. I have urinated and cleaned myself since I was a child. It was also bitter, so I agreed. ”

Yin Li looked disgusted, and covered her face with a silk and said, "Such a slave who doesn't know what to do." Why didn't you come and tell me, but you took matters into your own hands and made such a fuss. ”

The people of Yang Gong also ignored her, and said to themselves: "The concubine is kind. Thinking that the fifth sister also has a support, he takes care of it. They were more comfortable living in the palace, so they vacated a house in the back and gave them a new house. Who knew that the fifth sister married him, and only then did he know that he looked like a dog on the surface. It's not even as good as a brute. ”

Liu Zhao asked, "How do you know this?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "It's not strange that I know, it was Mo Chou who was on good terms with the fifth sister who told me." At that time, I thought, since I have matched the two of them. Whether it's good or bad, it's a matter of two people. I didn't ask, and I didn't care. So much so that something happened later. That Shunxi, who was originally a eunuch, wanted to be a man, and acted as a prestige on the fifth sister, beating and scolding him wantonly, and secretly got some strange lewd skills, which were applied to the fifth sister one by one, causing her to live worse than death! ”

Liu Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Che Qing, you immediately take someone to Shunxi and the room to search." ”

Yang Zhen said: "Your Majesty, the concubine brought the fifth sister here, the emperor, you come to see her injury." ”

With a wave of her hand, she saw a palace maid in her twenties walking in, lying on the ground and crying mournfully: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, the queen's mother." ”

Yang Zhen pulled her shirt, revealing her shoulders and waistcoat, only to see that it was covered with tooth marks and nail marks, until the depth of the texture, as if scratched by a wild beast, scarred, miserable.

Yang Zhendao "She is just a palace person, but as long as she has a face, how can she have the face to tell outsiders about this matter, and she doesn't dare to tell her concubines, for fear of betraying the grace of her concubines and polluting her concubines." And Na Shunxi also said that as long as she dared to confide half a word, he would definitely want her to live rather than die. ”

Su Zhao'er was already angry, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this Shunxi should be killed." ”

The fifth sister cried at this moment: "The slave maid works at the palace maiden every day, and she has to be tortured by him so much at night. He didn't know where to get some dirty medicine, and he firmly believed that after taking it for a long time, some men would be effective, and every time he himself took it, he would torture the slaves and maids endlessly. ”

The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became, and even Chen Cainu forgot to cry and sighed. Sui'er walked over and pulled up the fifth sister's clothes, and whispered to Jin'er to take her down to get some medicine for the wound, while sighing and shaking her head.

Yang Zhen said again: "Your Majesty, the fault of the concubine is that she is soft-hearted and gullible to believe this minion, so that such an ugly thing happened in the palace, and she almost caused Chen Cainu to have a fetal gas, it is really the negligence of the concubine, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

She still did not stand up, and kowtowed again, then bowed her head and said nothing, tears glistening in her eyes.

The more Liu Zhao listened, the more angry he became, and when he saw Che Qing coming in, he was standing beside him with a boxwood box in his hand, and there was a faint dark fire in his eyebrows, and asked: "This is just a family matter in your palace, but why is it today?" ”

Yang Zhen almost choked up crying: "Shunxi was not on duty in the afternoon today, and drank this thing as soon as he returned to the room." The fifth sister was about to go back to the room, and when she saw him like this outside the window, she was frightened, and she didn't dare to go back, and she didn't have to be on duty in Liutai, so she had to wander around. Shun Xi couldn't find her everywhere after eating those dirty things, and it was probably a drug seizure, and she ran out like crazy, and then something happened. ”

Chen Cainu was so angry that her face was purple, she knelt down under Liu Zhao's knees, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must be the master of your concubines." Shunxi dared to eat such a lewd/promiscuous thing in the palace and collided with the concubines, it should be broken into thousands of pieces! ”

When Che Qing heard this, he pointed to the contents of the box and said: "Your Majesty, the slave was ordered to search in Shunxi's room, and he found this big box of filthy things in a search, and the slave is really unheard of and unseen. The slave didn't dare to be proficient, so he immediately brought it to the emperor to take a look. As he spoke, he personally came to the emperor with the box in his hand, and opened it only to Liu Zhao alone.

Liu Zhao only glanced at it, and the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously, like the green tendons protruding from his temples, showing the anger from the bottom of his heart. The words spit out between Liu Zhao's lips and teeth were like sharp ice lings: "Gather the inner prison of the palace to enter Yongxiang, watch Shunxi cut off his hands and feet, and then execute Ling Chi with a knife, look at what doesn't know whether it is dead or alive, and dare to defile the harem!" ”

The so-called Ling Chi is to cut that person with a knife one by one, and he will not be killed all at once. The greater the number of knives cut, the stronger the ability of the person who punishes the punishment, until the person could not bear the pain and bled to death.

Sui'er maintained a reserved and calm complexion, with a little disgust and disgust, but when she saw the tears of the people in Yang Palace, she felt a little unbearable.

The fifth sister took the medicine and returned to the palace, Liu Zhao looked at her and said, "You don't abide by the palace rules." It should be the same sin. But I remember that you have suffered a lot, so I have spared you the death penalty, and you don't have to serve in the palace of the people of Yang Palace. Go to the Imperial Mansion to wash your clothes, and you will never be allowed to let them out. ”

At this moment, he looked at Yang Gongren, with a bit of indifference in his eyes: "Okay, I have disposed of Shunxi." You don't have to cry either. This is your own decision and you have violated the palace rules. This should have been handled by the queen, but I really didn't bother to care. ”

Yang Zhen wanted to say something, but when he saw the emperor's indifferent and detached tone, he stopped talking. Look up at the Yin Glass.

Yin Li was also frightened by Liu Zhao's handling just now, so she came back to her senses, looked at Yang Zhen with a sad expression and said, "Since the emperor said that this is a matter of the harem. You violated the palace rules, I think it's still what I just said. Death! ”

Liu Zhao glanced at him coldly and did not speak. Sui'er saw it and hurriedly said: "Queen, Shunxi is guilty of a big crime in this matter, the people of Yang Palace just violated the palace rules, and the crime is not to death, please think twice." ”

Yin Li pretended to be sympathetic and shook her head: "She was kind at the time, and wanted the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to rely on each other. But that Shunxi is a heinous bad person, but why have other eunuchs never had such a thing, but Shunxi has it? I think it was after he got along with the fifth sister that he had a wife, and he felt that he was incomplete, so he gave birth to this greedy and filthy heart. According to the palace, although Shunxi's sin is unforgivable, the Yang Palace people who have fulfilled them are even more hateful, and they can only give death to the Yang Palace people to cut off this wind, so as not to have such a terrible thing in the palace again. ”

Liu Zhao took a sip of tea and took a sip: "That's it, I'm really tired today, the queen's words are indeed reasonable, I agree, but after all, the people of Yang Palace have also served me, and there is no credit and hard work, and it is not appropriate to deal with it too much." I mean, enter the cold palace and be imprisoned for a year. It's already a very heavy punishment. ”

Liu Zhao praised Yin Li's words, which made Yin Li almost cry, so he had to say softly: "The concubine knows, the concubine will do what the emperor wants!" ”

Sui'er didn't have any friendship with Yang Zhen, but the emperor begged for mercy and pardoned her capital crime, which can be regarded as giving her and Yin Li's face. But Sui I still have a little grievance in my heart, after all, Liu Zhao still has to take care of the queen's face.

But Sui'er still pressed the grievances in her heart to the end, revealing a smile as shallow as Chu Lei, which was full of smiles, as if the sleeves of the spring god Dongjun could be blown off with a slight finger.

At night, the night is like a dark ocean, as far as the eye can see. After the clouds dispersed, a new moon became brighter and brighter, and the stars in the sky were more like broken diamonds scattered in the sky, and the stars and moons in the sky were intertwined with the lights in the Qionglou Jade Garden, as if they were inverted influence on each other. Dazzling and dazzling, confusing to the human eye. The moonlight sprinkled on Liu Zhao's ochre-brown brocade dragon robe, slowly giving birth to a hazy halo.

Sui'er lay on Liu Zhao's chest, looking at the wind under the corridor, blowing the branches and shadows, she had no intention of thinking about the cause and effect, and she knew that she shouldn't think about it. Simply, he showed a faint smile.

On the second day, Yongxiang was full of all the inner eunuchs in the palace, Shunxi's medicinal properties had passed, and he was so frightened that his face was pale, and he lay on a temporary high platform, his hands were tied, and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he hissed like a wolf, his expression was painful, frightened and embarrassed.

Zheng Zhong walked up to the high platform, pointed to Shunxi who was lying on the ground, and said: "This person used filthy medicine to marry a wife and mess with the court, and almost injured the maiden, which is a great crime. Today, by the emperor's order, his hands and feet were cut off and Ling Chi was executed. Listen, we are all humble people, it is our duty to serve the emperor and all the mothers, the palace is the emperor's court, and it is a matter of dignity and dignity related to the national code and family law. The emperor's every move is related to the national system, and he must serve the envoy in accordance with the rules. From now on, if there is anything like him, this is the end! Executioner, execution! ”

Hearing the order, the executioner swung the knife in his hand and slashed straight at Shunxi's body. Shun Xi only had time to let out a "hmm-" and fainted in pain. And the judge threw him awake with water, and cut off his hands and feet again, until he had finished chopping, and then he took the cloth from his mouth and cut him with a knife.

In the narrow alley, only one miserable cry after another was heard, as if a gust of wind that was cold to the bone marrow suddenly hit, and all the inner prisoners trembled in their hearts. (To be continued)
