Chapter 548: Egging behind the scenes
Xiao Jinxuan brought the Gu things that Zuo Wen had cultivated in the palace for decades, and this would clearly tell the other party that she would use Gu things to end her life.
And because Xiao Jinxuan had already spoken first, if Zuo Wen didn't move, she would continue to plant all kinds of Gu worms into the other party's body.
Therefore, seeing Xiao Jinxuan's efforts while speaking, Zuo Wen was drilled into her body by three different Gu worms in a row.
And look at Zuo Wen, who is still screaming because of the pain of drilling his heart, but his appearance has not changed.
After several other Gu worms entered her body, it would be seen that not only did her skin slowly begin to shrink, but even under the skin of her face, there were earthworm-like Gu worms, wriggling and crawling.
Zuo Wen's wail was not only a little more miserable, but everyone present who saw this scene couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps, and felt that their bodies seemed to be uncomfortable.
And just when Zuo Wen was in extreme pain and could not do anything about everything she had endured, she saw that Old Man Ding was holding a small box and walked towards her for the fifth time.
Immediately, what loyalty is the same, what is strictly kept secret, at this moment, in the eyes of Zuo Wen, who has completely collapsed in her heart, there is no importance of dying happily.
Therefore, I saw that Zuo Wen, who was still extremely tough when she first came in, and was arguing with Xiao Jinxuan calmly, would never be arrogant anymore.
Not only did she resist the discomfort and immediately knelt on the ground in the direction of Xiao Jinxuan, but then she kowtowed continuously, and said with tears and snot flowing together:
"Concubine Xiao's slave is gracious, the slave really can't stand it, I am willing to confess everything, please stop it quickly."
Seeing that several Gu worms had entered her body, Zuo Wen was willing to confess, and this result was really unexpected by the officials of the Criminal Department.
They don't understand that even if this Gu thing is vicious, but the severe pain caused by their torture to the felons should not be much worse, so they can't understand why Zuo Wen recruited it.
In fact, these various reasons are quite simple to say, that is, because Zuo Wen knows Gu art too well, and she also knows better than ordinary people how terrible the despair and continuous pain after falling into Gu are.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan chose to use Gu to extract a confession when she came, because she deduced that Zuo Wen, the person who used Gu, must also be afraid of Gu techniques, and now it seems that her guess is completely right.
And since Zuo Wen has already begun to confess, the next thing to record a confession will naturally be handled by Huang Qiming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and others.
When Zuo Wenlian decades ago, Empress Xue conspired to kill the palace concubine and threw her into the dry well behind the cold palace, as well as how many heirs of Emperor Ming were killed, they all told it in 1510.
Seeing that Huang Qiming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, showed a satisfied smile, Zuo Wen immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and then couldn't wait to say:
"Concubine Xiao, the slave has already recruited the Empress Dowager how to kill the first emperor with Gu and the murder of the palace concubine, you should give me a good time now."
This person has always only survived, and it is rare to see someone like Zuo Wen who can't wait to die.
In fact, Zuo Wen didn't want to survive, but compared to knowing that after Zhong Gu, as time passed, her body would undergo all kinds of strange changes, and she would rather die quickly in order to be free.
Take the Diamond Heart Gu that had just entered Zuo Wen's body as an example, it really wouldn't kill people at first, but when it was about half a month, there would be obvious signs of blackening in the heart socket.
And when Zuo Wen's heart is completely pierced into a sieve by Gu worms, they will tear the skin on the heart room and crawl out of each other's bodies.
But it wasn't until the heart worm left the body and completely consumed the heart that Zuo Wen would die.
The thought of going through a month of uninterrupted pain in the heart, and finally watching the Gu worm break out of her body, Zuo Wen naturally wanted to die immediately, and she would have to endure so much torture.
But in the face of Zuo Wen's request for a quick death, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly smiled, and then saw her raise her eyebrows in surprise, so she shrugged her shoulders and said:
"Aunt Zuo Wen, what do you mean by this, why is this concubine a little confused. I did say just now, as long as you are willing to confess, I will stop throwing Gu into your body, but when do I say that I will call you to die. After all, it is better to die than to live, according to Concubine Ben, Aunt Zuo Wen still endures the severe pain, stay in the cell of the criminal department and enjoy the rest of your time. As for the concubine, she will not be here to accompany her, Aunt Wanwang must live a few more days, which can be regarded as atonement for those who died tragically in your hands. ”
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan finished saying this, she really got up and walked out.
Zuo Wen was stunned in disbelief for a moment, and immediately couldn't even care about the unbearable pain on her body, so she wanted to catch up with a hideous face.
"Okay, you Xiao Jinxuan, you slut actually used words to play tricks on me. That's right, you're not throwing Gu worms into my body, but I, Zuo Wen, are now worse than dead. Xiao Jinxuan, don't you want to kill me, then you have to do it quickly, why do you want me to live, you vicious woman, you can't die well. ”
Thinking that she would slowly die in extreme torment for the next month or even longer, Zuo Wen couldn't wait to rush forward and strangle Xiao Jinxuan to death first.
But for Zuo Wen's swearing and the crazy move to rush over, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already walked to the gate of the criminal department, turned her head calmly.
After giving Zuo Wen an extremely contemptuous smile, she turned around and left without looking back.
Zuo Wen has harmed people all her life with Gu magic, but now she is also deeply affected by it, and she is going to be tortured by Gu worms to death, in Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, the other party can be regarded as being punished.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was busy in the morning and came out of the palace at noon, came to the Criminal Department, and now that she thinks about it, she hasn't even used breakfast.
Seeing that it was difficult to leave the palace, Xiao Jinxuan thought of the affairs in the palace, and it was not possible to deal with them in a day or two anyway.
Immediately, she was not in a hurry to go back, but said to Wen Xin and Old Man Ding beside her:
"Since entering the palace, more than half a year has passed, and I almost can't remember what happened outside the imperial city. Everyone says that the royal family is a rich and noble place, but there are no people who have really lived in it, and how can they know that the world in all directions, even if the building is exquisite and gorgeous, but after all, it is just a cage. Speaking of which, I still prefer life outside the palace, with a little less honor, but more ordinary, and a simple life may be what I have always wanted. ”
Wen Xin'er heard Xiao Jinxuan's emotional words, and he watched the other party come to the present step by step.
Xiao Jinxuan's difficulty is not easy, and the nature of being quiet and unwilling to compete too much.
Wen Xin **** serves on the side, and naturally has a deeper understanding than others.
But Wen Xin knows that Xiao Jinxuan's current body still has to stay in the palace, and every once in a while, she has to use medicinal baths and fumigation to control the toxins in her body, so the life outside the palace is now untouchable.
Therefore, in order to tell Xiao Jinxuan not to be too emotional, Wen Xin couldn't help but change the topic and suggested:
"Since it's hard to get out of the palace, why don't we go to Tianxi to eat some snacks, I remember that you like the crystal cake there the most, and it seems that we haven't been there for more than a year. Now that Ding Lao is also here, how about we go to drink tea and cakes together. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who didn't want to return to the palace immediately, naturally echoed Wen Xin's proposal, and Old Man Ding came to Changping City for the first time, so of course he had no objection to being able to walk around.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and now even has a very formal smile, it will be rare to relax for a while, and even the smile she shows is from the inside out, and anyone who sees it can see that she is in a very good mood now.
But Xiao Jinxuan, who was difficult to get out of the palace to change her mood, didn't know that this would be in the harem, just because she rushed to the criminal department as a palace concubine, which was unreasonable.
has been caught, and it has been returned to the Empress Dowager Chen.
And the person who made this kind of behavior of complaining behind his back, thinking that in today's harem, he has been abolished and grounded since he beat Xue, and he still has such a deep grudge against Xiao Jinxuan, and he always keeps an eye on her words and deeds, so naturally only Xiangping is left.
In addition, Her Royal Highness the princess now has Ji Lingfeng to help, so almost as soon as Xiao Jinxuan left the palace, Xiangping got the news.
Especially when Ji Lingfeng was loyal to Zhou Xiantai, collecting intelligence and planning for this master was his specialty.
Therefore, it didn't take long, and even when Xiao Jinxuan went out of the palace to the Criminal Department, the other party wanted to interrogate Zuo Wen, and Ji Lingfeng investigated it at all.
Therefore, after he returned these to Xiangping, and told the other party that this was another good opportunity to admonish in front of Empress Chen, so that the other party was even more disgusted with Xiao Jinxuan, Xiangping immediately rushed to Yanqing Palace.
And now Xiangping, who has come to Empress Chen's bedroom, rubbed his shoulders for the queen mother with a filial look, and said all the bad things about Xiao Jinxuan in the other party's ear.
As for the current Empress Chen, after the last time in the Buddhist hall, Xiao Jinxuan killed someone in front of her with a carefree hairpin and completely tore her face.
This queen mother has completely erased all the good things about Xiao Jinxuan's past, and she only remembers clearly how the other party rudely contradicted her, and secretly hates it.
Now that she heard that Xiao Jinxuan had left the palace to go to the Criminal Department to try the case, Empress Chen couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with hatred and dissatisfaction in her eyes:
"Not to mention being a palace concubine, it is not enough for her Xiao Jinxuan to be majestic in the harem, and now she has even become the master of the criminal department. She really doesn't want any of the virtues of a woman, and she is even more enthusiastic about political affairs than the ministers of the previous dynasty who discuss politics. If this continues, I think that in the future, your imperial brother's recital must be reviewed by this demagogic witch. ”
Hearing Chen Hou's extremely angry words, he even compared Xiao Jinxuan directly to a demon girl in his words.
Xiangping, who was extremely satisfied with this, couldn't help but look like a good daughter, first looked at Chen Hou with distressed eyes, and then said admonishmently:
What the queen mother said, Xiang'er also felt that Jinxuan seemed to have more and more influence on the imperial brother. But Jinxuan is not a peaceful person, thinking that the abolition of the Empress Dowager Xue was just covering the sky in the harem, and it has already disturbed the royal family. Jinxuan is not an ordinary woman, in terms of resourcefulness and ruthlessness, she is a step higher than the abolished queen mother. If she really gets involved in the government, I'm afraid that even the royal brother will not be able to help her in the future. Queen Mother, as my Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, the imperial brother is confused, you must reprimand and wake up the other party, and the harem is peaceful and peaceful. ”
