"Yes." Hongying responded happily, and after a while, she brought the little maid with the cane in, looking at the bamboo board in the hand of the little maid as thick as a child's arm, Ping'er was so frightened that she almost burst into tears, but she still didn't dare to tell the truth, and said in a panic: "Concubine, what the slave said is true, and Father-in-law Ning never said anything to the slave except for sending clothes." ”

"It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." After saying this, Concubine Qin pointed at Ping'er and said fiercely: "Hit me, no matter where you hit, just hit hard!" ”

The little servant glanced at Concubine Qin in surprise, in his memory, he had never seen Concubine Qin treat anyone like this, and this Ping'er was also favored by the concubine's side before, I don't know what happened to make the concubine so angry.

Strange and strange, the movement in his hand was not slow at all, regardless of Ping'er's begging for mercy, he hit Ping'er with a stick, Ping'er didn't expect Concubine Qin to say that she would fight, and hurriedly raised her hand to block it, her arm was in sharp pain, and she felt that her bones were about to break, except for being whipped when she was in Jungger, she had not suffered anything, this time it was painful to the bones, seeing that the bamboo board was about to fall again, she hurriedly shouted: "The concubine spares her life, the concubine spares her life." ”

The little guy paused, turned his head to look at Concubine Qin, who just stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist, and didn't even raise his head, seeing her like this, how could the little guy not understand, regardless of Ping'er's plea, hit it again, one after another, and beat Ping'er all over the ground.

But after taking seven or eight beats, Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore, and said loosely: "Don't beat the concubine, the slave said, the slave said everything." ”

"Alright." Concubine Qin called slowly, and after the little servant retreated, she said, "Are you finally willing to speak?" I thought I'd have to break my tendons to pry your mouth open. Let's say, what did Xiao Ningzi ask you, if I find out that there is half a lie, I will let you taste the pain just now, but when the time comes, it is not that you can stop by asking for a few words. ”

Ping'er trembled in pain, and after barely kneeling, she said with fear on her face: "Go back...... Back to the concubine, Gonggong Ning did ask the slave about the prince and Concubine Xi on the way, saying that the queen was curious and wanted to know what happened along the way. The slave and maid thought that it was nothing, so they said something about the road, and the slave and maid blamed the concubine for talking too much, so they didn't dare to tell the concubine. ”

Ping'er still kept her mind and didn't tell the truth, but chose to be half-truthful, otherwise Concubine Qin would really know that she wanted to testify that the Seventeenth Master had a personal affair with Concubine Xi, and she had to pick her skin.

"Is that all?" Concubine Qin glanced at Ping'er, got up in Ping'er's panicked nodding and said, "Just for curiosity, I specially rewarded you with a summer coat made of tribute materials, and specially asked Xiao Ningzi to send it over?" Ping'er, you're really old, you can mess around, right? ”

"Hongying, let that little guy come in and drag Ping'er down, break one of her legs first, and if she still refuses to tell the truth, break the other leg again until she tells the truth." Concubine Qin's voice was calm, as if she was saying something insignificant.

Such a concubine made Ping'er afraid, and without waiting for the red tassel to come out, she reluctantly crawled in front of Concubine Qin, grabbed her skirt and begged: "Concubine spare your life, concubine spare your life!" ”

Concubine Qin leaned down, and Bu Yao's hanging beads crossed a dazzling light in this slightly gloomy room, "It's not me who can spare you, but yourself, but now it seems that you are going to put yourself to death." ”

In the end, what did the queen and Ping'er say, Concubine Qin didn't know what to say, before in Chengqian Palace, what Ling Ruo told her was just a conjecture, but judging from Ping'er's expression just now, Concubine Qin concluded that this girl still had something to hide from herself, so she said those words.

Ping'er wept bitterly and said: "The slave and maid said, the slave and maid said everything, and only asked the concubine to spare the slave and maid's life." Seeing that Concubine Qin didn't speak, she hurriedly continued, lest she be slower and would throw her life here," the queen said that Concubine Xi relied on the emperor's favor and gave her anger everywhere, not putting her in her eyes, in order to protect herself, the queen wanted to deal with Concubine Xi, she knew that the slave maid followed Concubine Xi all the way to the capital, and waited by her side for a while, so she asked Gonggong Ning to ask the slave and maid about this journey, and the slave didn't think much about it at the time, so she put the prince on the way to save the child in Concubine Xi's womb, told him about the injury caused by picking perilla grass, but as a result, Gonggong Ning said that there was a personal affair between Concubine Xi and the Seventeenth Master, and asked the slave and maid to stand up and testify about it at that time. ”

What Ping'er said was roughly the same as what Ling Ruo had told Concubine Qin before, but it was the first time that Concubine Qin had heard about Yunli's injury, and Yunli had been hiding it from her because she was afraid that Concubine Qin would be worried.

Concubine Qin was secretly annoyed in her heart, she really couldn't imagine that Yunli had never been interested in any woman for so many years, but she didn't expect to go to Zhungar once, not only brought Niu Hulu back, but also moved her so deeply. This Niu Hulu clan is simply a disaster.

Yunli, Yunli, how did E-Niang teach you on weekdays, why do you usually see it so clearly, but you were confused at a critical time, Niu Hulu and you are basically people from the two worlds, and you are also going on adventures to save the child in her womb, if you really lose your life, what will E-Niang do in the rest of her life? Have you ever thought about Eniang's situation?

Ping'er secretly glanced at Concubine Qin, saw that she didn't speak, and was about to ask for a few more words, but Concubine Qin's eyes suddenly swept over, so bluffing that she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.

Concubine Qin snorted coldly and said, "So, did you promise Xiao Ningzi?" Isn't it true that you helped the queen harm the prince? ”

Ping'er shook her head again and again and said: "The prince and the concubine treat the slave and maid as kind as a mountain, how can the slave and maid take revenge." Father-in-law Ning said that the queen mother only had to deal with Concubine Xi, not the prince, so he asked the slave and maid to intercede when the time came, and the queen would help the prince intercede. ”

Regarding Ping'er's ignorance and stupidity, Concubine Qin sneered again and again, "Once the emperor really believes that the prince and Concubine Xi have a personal affair, it is a big crime to kill the head, do you think that with a few words of persuasion from the queen's mother, it will be fine?" ”

Ping'er was shocked when she heard this, and said in shock: "Slave maid...... The slave didn't know that Lu Dao would be like this, so she asked the concubine to believe in the slave and maid, and the slave and maid had absolutely no intention of harming the prince, because the slave and maid ......" She hesitated for a moment, and finally said out of the way, "The slave and the maid have always admired the prince, how can they harm him." ”

Hongying heard this, and said harshly: "Hmph, don't look at what your background is, Lord Yangmu, are you worthy?" ”
