Chapter 104: Lend Her Hand

"Queen Mother-" Qinglin heard Su Shi say this, and hurriedly leaned over to speak, but was swept away by Su Shi's sharp eyes, and the words he wanted to say were quietly swallowed back.

Su Shi raised his hand to shake away the son who was blocking in front of him, walked around and walked to the side of several palace maids who were kneeling and trembling not far away, raised his hand and pinched the chin of one of the palace maids, and forcefully twisted her face over to look at it, and snorted coldly: "This palace still thinks that it looks like a natural beauty, but it is the appearance of a small jasper who can't get on the table, and he dares to float around in front of the prince!" ”

When the other people heard this, their heads lowered more and more, praying in their hearts that the queen mother would not choose their own heads, Su's subordinates forced, and the fingerguards worn on the knuckles easily cut through the palace maid's face, feeling that she was trembling, on her delicate face full of fear, a few blood marks were particularly conspicuous, and tears poured out endlessly, Su Shi shook off the hand holding her cheek in disgust, and walked towards the closed hall door.

"Someone!"

With a shout from the Su family, the door of the hall opened and closed, and all the attendants who came in were Su's attendants, "The slave/slave is here!" ”

Su Shi glanced behind him out of the corner of his eyes, lowered his eyes and pinched the tips of his fingers, erasing the little blood stains that had just been stained, "Spread the decree of the palace, these foxes bewitched the prince, pull down fifty boards per person, and send them to the cold palace to fend for themselves!" ”

"Yes!" Under the order of the Su family, they dragged a palace maid to the outside of the palace, these palace maids heard that they were going to be sent to the cold palace to fend for themselves, and they were immediately frightened, and when they were dragged out of the hall, they passed by Qinglin, who covered his face and did not speak, crying and begging for mercy: "The queen mother spares her life, the slave maid will never dare again!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please save the slaves and maids!" There was one who even got rid of Su's entourage. hugged Qinglin's legs, and Qinglin couldn't bear to see it with begging eyes, and turned his head to look at Su: "Queen Mother." It's all your son's fault, and you will punish him. Don't send them away, just give them to your sons—"

"What's for you?" Su Shi interrupted Qinglin's words and said: "The prince is the master for them, and the slave is restless and self-serving, but wants to take the opportunity to climb the high branches, then it is their fault, the prince means that the palace is not right?" ”

Qinglin didn't dare to plead anymore. Because Su Shi looked at him with obvious warnings in his eyes, he was silent, so that the palace maids who had just emerged a little hope were disappointed again, Su Shi watched them be dragged out one by one with cold eyes, and then he said to Qinglin, who lowered his head and did not speak: "Lin'er, you remember to the queen mother, the prince will not make mistakes, and today's events are all the fault of this group of shameless foxes!" ”

Qinglin, who had never felt such a tough attitude of the Su family, was stunned for a moment, and had to nod in response: "Yes, Erchen remembers!" ”

He replied obediently. Su Shi's face softened a little, and a smile bloomed on his face again, mixed with distressed words. The palm of his hand also touched Qinglin's already swollen cheeks: "Show the queen mother, it's really-the queen mother was in a hurry just now, and her hand was a little heavier, is Lin'er still in pain?" ”

Qinglin hadn't recovered from the incident of Su Shi's painting the maid's cheek just now, seeing her reach over, she subconsciously dodged back, a trace of distress crossed Su's eyes, she didn't want to treat him like this, as the saying goes, hit the child's body. It hurts in my mother's heart! Qinglin didn't get much love from the Qingdi when she was a child, she gave him almost everything she could give him. He was even more responsive to his requests, and finally promoted him to the position of prince. also actively looked for credible people to help support him, but he didn't seek progress behind his back, so she would beat him in a hurry, and now seeing her son's reaction, she was obviously frightened by her actions just now, and Su Shi was also a little sad in her heart.

"Lin'er, the queen mother has something to discuss with you, go back to the palace with the queen mother first, your uncle is already waiting!" Su Shi estimated that after this trouble, his younger brother should have entered the palace, and said to Qinglin.

Qinglin silently followed Su out of the dormitory, in the empty space outside the dormitory, five benches had been placed in the center, and the palace maids were pressed on them one by one, binding their hands and feet, and the wide board was rising and falling down, accompanied by the sound of the board cutting through the air, it fell heavily on them, and the few people who were gagged were only left with low whimpering.

Seeing their miserable situation, Qinglin couldn't bear to tilt his head to the other side, trying not to let himself look, but Su Shi glanced at him, and said aloud extremely calmly: "Today, this palace is here to explain to you, serve the prince well, if there are any more bad intentions in the future, and there are thoughts that should not be saved, this is the end!" ”

The rest of the palace attendants and the door guards who had stopped outside the hall before knelt down one after another and said, "The slaves don't dare!" ”

Su Shi snorted and glanced at Qinglin: "Don't leave yet?" After saying that, he left first, Qinglin bit his lower lip and looked back, but he could only grit his teeth and chase after Su.

The queen took away the prince, which does not mean that their punishment can be exempted, the board still fell together, muffled snorts, whimpering, and whispered discussions of other palace attendants, and for a while the front of the prince's palace was in chaos.

Emperor Qing heard the movement from afar, and stopped talking to Liu Rumo, "Rumo, wait first!" ”

Liu Rumo bowed his head, and saw Emperor Qing waving his finger to his father-in-law beside him, "Go!" Look what's going on with the prince! ”

Emperor Qing's Luan was steadily approaching the source of the sound, and the father-in-law, who had been ordered by Emperor Qing to inquire about the situation, ran back and forth quickly, "Your Majesty, it was the queen mother who ordered to punish several palace maids in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

When Emperor Qing heard this, his eyebrows were twisted into a furrow, and he praised the Su family for a while, and her fierce nature was revealed, "Go over and take a look!" ”

Liu Rumo closed his mouth with great eyes, and followed Luan Jia closely, after Luan Jia fell and stopped, Emperor Qing, with the support of the palace eunuch, walked to the front of the execution battle and stopped: "Stop!" ”

"Slave/slave maid please the emperor!" Even the palace attendant who carried it out knelt on the ground.

Emperor Qing's eyes swept over the row of five palace maids in front of him who had already fainted, and asked in a deep voice, "What fault did they make, and the queen wants to order them to be beaten like this?" ”

None of the people who knelt on the ground took the initiative to come forward to answer, and the Qingdi was a little displeased, so he casually pointed to someone, "You say!" ”

The palace attendant who was named by the Qing Emperor was still holding the torture board in his hand, and immediately put down the board when he heard the sound, knelt and crawled to the feet of the Qing Emperor, kowtowed, and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother suddenly came to the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, closed the door and didn't know what she said, and after opening the door again, she ordered the palace maids in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince to be dragged out and beaten fifty boards in public, and also ordered the servants to drag them to the cold palace to fend for themselves after the beating!" ”

Emperor Qing turned around and sat down in Luan, his expression was dark, he couldn't see what he was thinking, and the palace attendants who knelt on the ground and replied didn't dare to move, since the emperor didn't speak, they didn't dare to make their own decisions, the fifty boards have not been finished yet, whether to continue to fight according to the queen's order, or stop fighting, make other arrangements, and wait for the emperor's will.

After a long time, Emperor Qing closed his eyes, leaned back into Luanjia, hooked his finger towards the palace eunuch who was waiting, and whispered a few words when the palace eunuch came over.

The palace eunuch shouted: "The emperor is driving!" ”

Luan Jia was lifted up again, Liu Rumo looked at the five women lying on the bench, and was very puzzled by the reaction of the Qingdi, looking at the appearance of the Qingdi, it was not that she didn't want to save it, nor did she want to save it, it was really difficult to understand, but she looked at the faces of these women and knew that if the fifty boards were finished and then dragged and thrown into the cold palace, I was afraid that she would not be alive again.

"Rumo, what are you thinking?" The Qingdi Emperor's inquiry suddenly exploded in his ears, Liu Rumo's distant thoughts were instantly pulled back, and when he looked up, the Qingdi was looking at him, his eyes were deep, and he actually felt a little tired, that is, the moment his eyes met, the Qingdi's pupils shrank, and his eyes flashed towards the torture side, and Liu Rumo knew what he meant.

It seems that Emperor Qing wanted her to come forward, but there was no way, Liu Rumo had to bend his knees: "Your Majesty, since the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is advanced, during the preparation period, it is better not to let the palace be contaminated with blood, so as not to damage the royal blessings, so Rumo dares to ask the emperor to give an order to bypass these palace maids!" ”

"That's it!" The Qing Emperor seemed to suddenly realize, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, glanced at the tragic situation over there again, and waved his hand: "The ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is very important, since it is for the sake of the blessings of the royal family, then spare them!" ”

The palace eunuch who listened to the whispers of the Qing Emperor just now immediately understood, walked over and announced the will of the Qing Emperor in a loud voice: "The emperor has decreed that in view of the advance of the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, in order to protect the blessings of the royal family, it is not appropriate to see blood in the palace, no matter what kind of mistakes these people make, the punishment will be exempted!" ”

Everyone was still kneeling on the ground in a daze, and the palace eunuch commanded them again: "Why don't you carry them down to treat their injuries?" Also, take care of everything here, and be careful not to let the blood qi collide with the qi of Fuze! ”

After this sound, she was urged, and it was really a lot faster, carrying the injured and carrying the wounded, cleaning up the benches, and the people in front of her were all scattered, Liu Rumo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, to be honest, she still couldn't get used to seeing human life like a mustard, especially looking at these people lying there, dying, she couldn't help but want to help, but because of the presence of the Qing Emperor, and it was a matter in the palace, she couldn't make a move, if it wasn't for the Qing Emperor's signal just now, she might have to just watch, Instead of stepping in to stop it.

After Emperor Qing waited for Luan to drive away from the prince's bedroom, he looked at Liu Rumo who was following Luan Jia, she lowered her head slightly, and she couldn't see anything with her eyelids, but her fluttering long eyelashes also showed him that this child couldn't bear it.

In fact, it's no wonder, after all, she is still a woman, and she has never been in the palace, and today she came forward to stop this matter, also to let her understand that the palace is not much more dangerous and darker than the living environment she used to live in! (To be continued)
